HIT HIMSELF WITH A STONE.
Desperate Attempt of Prominent Citizen of Sand Mountain to End His life-A
 Serious Accident.

Collnsville, Aug. 25.-W. L. Roden. a prominent citizen of Sand mountain, who has been principal of the school at Gen. tral institute, twelve miles west of here, made an attempt to commit suicide at his home yesterday morning by striking himself in the head twice with a stone, innicting severe wound, and would have ended his life but for the interference of his wife. MT. Roden has been in poor health for some time and had been very Respondent. This, together with other troubles, is supposed to be the cause of the rash act He was brought to this place yesterday morning in a pitiful con- diti6n.> Preparations are being made to send him to the asylum.
 Roden m.ide several attempts prior to this to commit suicide. At one time he tried to get an aX with which to take his life.

A REVOLVING SPECTACLE.
The Bull Fight at Cripple Creek Was Cruel and Devoid of Sport-Disgusted
 Miners.

Cripple Creek Col, Aug. 25.-Manager Joseph Wolfe again carried out his prom ise to give the people real bull fight, the performance today resulting in the slaughter of two bulls. He has probably made money out of the speculation, but he has not succeeded in making the min CTS of this camp believe that bull fighting is entertaining sport The novelty of the exhibition and the anticipation of a con fiict between the sheriff of El Paso coun- ty and the management of the carnival drew the 5000 people who crowded the amphitheater more than the desire to see bull slaughtered.
 The sight of an ordinary Hereford bull, accustomed to quiet scenes. being bad gered and tormented, his sides pierced by the cruel darts and by the goads or the picadors, and finally the disgusting brutality of the stabbing to death of the tortured animal, was a spectacle revolt ing to American ideas of fair play. The Cripple Creek miners want the public to understand that they do not indorse the show Had the civil authorities used their proper power to stop it no protest from the miners would have been made.
 There is no doubt about the geuneness of this bull fighting. La Charita, the Bandarillos, Garcia, Esqulval ana the chief Mexican, Cheche, performed their parts with sufficient agility. grace and fearlessness to satisfy the public of their ability. Hereford bulls were declared mo good" by Cheche. In the mortal thrust, Cheche, however, proved not to be expert for both yesterday and today he had to use his long, sharp sword several times before the bulls were killed.
 Excursion trains from Denver and Colorado Springs were waited for and 1t was late in the day before the puncture que cavalade dashed into the arena and saluted the spectators.
 Deputy Sheriff Brisbane was present and declared that no cruelty would be tolerated. Manager Wolfe promised this, as usual, but when the first bull was ad- mitted to the ring the picadors lost no time in prodding up the animal. While several steel darts were Swaying from the sides of the maddened Hereford the manager and assistants were placed un- der arrest A justice was handy and quickly accepted bail.
 After the first bull was butchered ar rests were again made and bond as read fly secured.
 Aijutant- General Moses advised with Brisbane and urged him to stop the cru city. When the toreador bungled at the end of the second killing, the governors representative left the scene evidently disgusted After his conference with the governor over the telephone he returned and told Brisbane to go into the arena and arrest each matador every time dart was thrust into the bull. The pres ence of lot of tough men, all armed with revolvers, cowed the deputy and he contened himself with wordy altercations with the management. Night came on before the long pro- gramme of wild riding, steer-tieing, las soo-throwing and other similar sports

Housekcepers Want the Best Food.

Housekeepers Want the Best Food What Scientists say:
 Prof. Arnold of the University of New York: 'sI consider that each and every ingredient of oleomargarine but ter or butterine is perfectly pure and wholesome, that the oleomargarine butter differs in no essential manner from the butter made from cream. It is great discovery, blessing for the poor, in every way a perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article.
 Silver Churn Butterine is prepared especially for fine table use. Every de- tail of its manufacture is perfect. Re- cent chemical experiments show that in nutritive and digestive properties Silver Churn Butterine is fully equal to the best creamery butter; while in keeping quality Silver Churn Butterine is much superior.

 Huntsville, Aug 24.-(Special Corre- spondence.)-The sensational seduction case of the state against Will s. Mason of this city was brought to close this afternoon by the jury returning a yer dict of guilty. The penalty is from one to ten years in the penitentiary, which will be fixed by the judge. An appeal has been asked for by the defendant, but be- fore that is taken an application will be made before the trial judge, Speake, for a new trial The defendant Is charged with seducing Miss Daisy Turner under promise of marriage.

 Public opinion seems to be decidedly with the young woman. If the case goes to the supreme court Mason will have to stay in jail pending his appeal until acted on by that court. which does not convene again until some time in Novem- her

Cumberland Presbyterian Church.


 A large congregation heard Rev. M. w. Robinson at the Cumberland Presbyte- rian church last night.
 His subject was "Church Membership" and he took for his text: The Lord add ed to the church daily such as should be saved. d."--Acts ii, AT.
 He spoke as followS: God has always had peculiar people. They were known as the Jews, Israel. now as Christians
 This peculiar people, '.the called out, is the grand host now that it ever was church identity. How church member- ship is attained by the Jew in covenant relation by reason of his-birth. The pros civic relation was attained by reason of turning Jew The Christian is such be- cause of his personal relation to Christ Yet he has all the benefits of covenants made to Gods people. These are more important than the Jewish covenant. The member changes his place in the army by letter. These letters recognize the fact that the church is one though in different divisions, or companies, called denomina- tions. Church membership does not mean that we are to become Sectarian; that is bigotry, narrowneSs. Denomina- tionism is one thing, sectarianism an- other. It does not mean that person is less happy. The pursuit of happiness is in another lne-the joy different kind, but as real. The church member finds his happiness in higher things. It also implies a longing after holiness; a striving after righteousness, a change of person.
 Repentance is shown by restoration. Example: Zacharias restoring fourfold more than quitting. It is a marshaling of all the forces for good vs evil. But man cannot serve God better by first fighting on the side of the devil.
 All is dedicated to God-soul, body, mind, strength.
 The church member ought to be the best citizen in the land, hence good citi- zenship. making a grand army for ac- complshing the downfall of satans pow CT. He should be in his place in Gods house and work, thereby helping his pas tor and fellow church members He needs the message his pastor has for him. Last he must grow in grace It is his duty IS well as privilege to become more and more like Christ

A Business Thermometel

A BuSlnesS thermometer. hSs Chicago Record.
 A few years ago an enterprsng Ameri- can published volume in which he at tempted to prove that the price of iron was perfect indicator of the volume of business in this country. He made a very strong case and gave some aston ishing facts showing the close relation ship that existed between the market price of iron and the volume of business.
 But MT. Hazen, formerly third assist ant postmaSter-general, sees in the fiuc- tuating sales of postage stamps a better business indicator, possibly, than the prices of iron. That the sales of postage stamps should increase naturally, keep ing pace with the growth of population and business. is to be expected, but this increase must be in accordance with a ratio that can be easily determined and fixed. On the other hand. the fiuctua- tions of sales largely above or below that average might fairly be taken to repre- sent the increase or decline in the volume of business.
 The following table shows the sales of postage stamps and stamped envelopes for each of the last five fiscal years:
 lS9l. .............. $bZ,5o3,ff5 l692.. ..-..... ........ ...... fO,39S,9bJ 1S93. ....... ...... ........ f2,359,2l3 1694... ........... ........ fO,199, l5l 1895. ........ ...... ...... 73, ,SS9, ,59S
 The chief part of the gain to be noted in the last item was made in the the last ,,,d half ,na of di the dorn1e lormer erable decline in 1894 was in the last quar- ter of that fiscal year-facts which show conclusively that the fluctuation in the volume of business was the main cause of the changes in postal business in the last two years. MT Hagen declares very positively that "business depression was always quickly followed by a decrease and business revival by a great increase in postal business. The falling off does not usually follow instantaneously the breaking out of bank crisis, because the effect upon wholesale and retail trade is not felt for a few weeks or moths" But the revival of business is more speed fly felt in postal business than its de- cline. It is possible the postof1ice de- partment may be induced to publish its amount of stamp sales as an indication of business. as the weather bureau pub fishes the direction and velocity of the wind to indicate climatic changes
