OF a Christian character is like the
construction OF a house. There must
first be solid foundation. But some
church members never get much be-
yond this. Up yonder on Lafayette
Avenue, are long lines Of massive
stone. work, laid there twenty years
ago. Those grass grown stones are
the foundation for Romish cathed-
raj, but no cathedral stands there yet.
Some people start with a certain
amount Of faith in CHRIST, and profess
that before the world. Then they
stop there. They do not add to
their faith, courage, temperance, meek
ness, patience, godliness, love-" and
all the other stones that enter into a
solid and beautiful Christian life,
Every Sunday they come and draw
away more bricks and stones in the
shape Of truth; but they do not build
them into their character. Such self
stunted professors know but little OF
the sweet sunshine and joy Of OhrisPs
smile They may be growing rich or
growing popular or growing in self
esteem, but they are not growing in
grace. They try tolIve out 10 another
atmosphere than the love of Christ,
and their piety is "winter-killed" and
whitening away. Such religion is a
poor, joyless thing; it succeeds no
better than an attempt to raise
oranges among the freezing fogs of
Newfoundland.
3. There is one more essential to
strong aOd a happy life. Keeping
Christs commandments and con-
structing solid, cody character,
cannot be done without divine help.
Therefore the apostle adds: "Pray-
ing in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves
in the love of God" I can under
stand why backslider does not pray;
or, if he does, makes it hollow for
mslity; but every one who desires to
be lifted into the sweet warm atmos-
phere of communion with Christ,
must use the wings of fervent prayer
Those who make il their business to
battle down besetting sins, and to
build themselves up in Bible holiness,
cannot make Roadway without con-
slant laying hold of the promises of
divine strength. Prayer keeps US in
the love Of Jesus; and while keeping
in that warm, pure, healthy atmos-
phere, we find that prayer has won
derful power. Jesus told His dis
ciples that If they would only abide
in His love, they might task what
they would, and 1t shall be done unto
you" Then, my good friends, do you
want to be happy2 Do you want to
have power with God and peace with
yourself? Do you want to get some
inetallment of heaven in advance?
There is only one sure way, and that
is to live in the light-giving, warmth
givDgsunsbine Of your Saviour's love.
The Rev. I. L. Guy Ter.

Big Battle in Cuba.

New YORK, Nov. 25.-A Cuban mes
senger who arrived at the quarters Of the
Cuban Junta in this city late this after
noon direct from the seat of the revolu-
ton reported that on November IA one OF
the largest battles fought since the begin
ming Of the present trouble took place.
The news has been withheld strictly, not
even Ell Heraldo, Madrid newspaper,
being allowed to sent it out.
The battle occurred at Saguascowa, q
town in the interior of Cuba. The Span
ish forces engaged consisted of 10, 900 men,
while the Cubans had but about 1000.
The Spaniards were led by Gems. Wales,
Luque and Aldave, and Gen. Maxine
Gomez led the Cubans. The Cubans had
most favorable position at the foot of q
hill. For thirty-six hours the opposing
forces fought, but the Spaniards, were
unable to drive the Cubans back. The
latter, however, could do no more than
hold their own. Finally, just at "a critical
moment, Gen. Antonio Maceo, of the
Cuban army; came rushing in with q
force of $500 men. With the aid of this
reinforcementth the Spaniards were quickly
routed. The Cubans then advanced
towards Trinidad and Cienfuegos.
Gen. Aldave is reported to have been
killed in the battle, and the total mum ber
of killed and wounded Is placed at 600.
Gen Gomez secured 700 rifles and large
amount Of ammunition.
This Is believed to be the biggest battle
of the revolution, larger than that of Ba-
yamo, several months ago, in which Gen.
Compos was wounded

Southern Farm Lands.

The Southern States Magazine talks to
Northern farmers in the following point.
ed and business-like way:
"Is not an acre ofland in the South that
will produce in a year more revenue than
an acre in Iowa, Ohio and New York
worth intrinsically as much? And yet,
while land in the last named and other
Northern States is held at $50 to 800 an
acre, land in the South, capable of yield
ing more money in year, can be had for
form 81 to $40 an acre. The price is low
because there are millions of acres more
than the present population can cultivate.
As the population increases through i'm
migration prices will rise. Prices are
now much higher than formerly in some
localities. Can the Northern farmer af-
ford to go on cultivating high priced land
that will never increase in value, when
for tenth to forth of the value of his
farm he could get another in the South
on which he could make more money
and live In more comfort and which
would be getting more valuable every
year?'
The South is attracting good class of
Immigrants and a steady rise in real estate
Is an absolute certainty, The Northerners
who come here now and invest in city and
town lots aud farming lands will make
more money in a few years by the natu-
raj increase in values than they can hope
to make in their own section.
This inducement alone, to say nothing
Of the other advantages, should draw
millions of settlers to this part of the
country.

A Heroic Woman.

SHAMoKIN, Pa, Nov. 2O.-The heroic
fight made by woman not only saved
her own life, but the lives of her three
children, when assailed last night by her
maniac husband. Crazed by illness,
Enoch Zaben arose from bed, seized q
knife and fought wildly to cut his wife's
throat and then destroy the little ones
who were asleep in an adjoining room.
Today Zaben was declared to be insane,
and, was taken to the State asylum at
Danville.
During the night Mrs. Zaben was
awakened from sleep, and was astonished
to see her husband, who had been i'll from
grip, bound up the steps to her bedroom.
Seeing his wild condition she sought ref
uge behind the bed. He sprang upon
her and tried to slash her neck with the
knife, but she warded off the blow with
her arm. Then clasping him tightly she
tried to disarm the maniac. A hard
struggle ensued. Finding he could not
kill her, Zaben slipped from his wife's
grasp and rushed in to kill the children,
who were sleepiug in an adjoining room.
Before he had time to make one thrust
his brave wife again threw herself upon
him. The children's shrieks attracted
the neighbors, who appeared in time to
prevent an awful tragedy, as Mrs. Zaben
had been exhausted from her heroic bat
tie. Zaben was tied with ropes and this
morning taken to the asylum.

IA japanese INVASION"

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Nov. A.-Under
the caption "a Japanese INVASION" the
Daily Report last evening published q
story calculsted to startle American man
ufacturers.
Japan is about to invade the United
States with the agents OF her factories,
whose ability to produce articles of ne
cessity more chea ply than the rest of the
world can no longer be ignored. Japan
at last recognizes it's power, it's ambition
has been aroused, and 1t ia now inaugu-
rating an Irresistible commercial cam
paign.
This new and aggressive invasion COM
menced few weeks ago, when the agents
of powerful manufacturing and COM
mission house, whose headquarters are In
Kobe and Hisgo, arrived in this city and
offered such inducements to San Fran
cisco merchants that they were compelled
to place large orders with the new COM
mercial giant. A canvass of the San
Francisco mercantile trade reveals the
every line of staple goods has been made
BY the Oriental bidder. Buttons by the
gross are delivered, duty free, at frac-
ton less than the actual cost per gross OF
the American article. Bicycles, guaran.

listed at S12. Japanese matches are to be
laid down at price which is destined to
close every match factory in the United
States. Sashes, doors, blinds and al
kinds Of wooden ware can be delivered,
duty paid. at 30 to so per cent less than
the wholesale prices Of local manufac.

After placing huge orders in this city,
the agent left here for the East, where
agencies will be established in New York,

purpose of underselling American and

Killed by his Wife.

5GADsDEN, Ala, Nov. 21.-News reach
ed here this evening of q tragedy which
occurred near Centre, few miles above
here. w. H. Walker was shot and
instantly killed by his wife last night at
about Z o'clock. He had been In the
habit Of getting drunk and going home
to abuse and curse hia wife and two chill
dren. When he was on these sprees he
was very violent, and oftentimes his wife
had to flee from home to save her life.
Yesterday evening he went home In q
drunken condition and proceeded to fol-
low ont his usual programme Of abuse
and cruelty. He was unusually bolster
Gus and after cursing his wife in most
terrible manner, he told her that he
intended to kill her and one Of the chill
dren.
AS usual she pleaded with him to spare,
at least, the life Of her child. Her prayer
only maddened him and he made such
threatening demonstrations that she left
home and started for the home Of her sis
ter, q short distance away. Walker fol-
lowed, still cursing and threatening to
take bis wife's life. When the woman
left home, she went prepared for the
worst, for she took with her pistol. AS
she reached the door Of her sisters resi-.
dence. she turned and saw her murder
ous husband enter the gate with look as
If he intended to carry out his threat.
b Worked into fury by the past insults
and injury the man had heaped upon her,
and driven to the extreme by his present
attitude, she raised the pistol and fired.
Walker was dead instantly at her feet.
No arrest has been made. They were
both about fifty years old and have three
married and two single children.

Henry is a Gutter.

When he was in Atlanta the other day
Mr.. Watterson said: "I am out Of the
knock down and drag-out politics which
factionalism and favoritism and selfish
personal ambition have projected upon
the country. I have never had any
stomach for the concrete things Of politi-
cal life. I regard Office as kind of
bribery. AS long as it tseemed that moral
forces and organized ideas were objective
points, was ready to do my part. But
great policies have yielded to petty
wrangles. After my lecture season Is
over am going abroad with my family
for year. Perhaps, when the inevitable
result of the prevailing overflow Of rant
and fustian has been reached, the Demo-
cratic party may begin to put two and
two together with the aim of making
four. As it is, if one Of the prophets
should rise from the dsad he conld not
restore order to this chaos. We have in
fact no Democratic party at all-merely
an agglomeration Of quiddities thrown
together by the upheaval Of the times-a
monster without head, running wild
through wilderness of political incerti-
tude. e."-AtlGntd Journal.

Three Men Burned to Death.


WINSTON, N. c., Nov. 22.-Psrticulars
of shocking affair which occurred few
nights ago in the mountain section OF
Stokes County were brought here this
morning. Thomas Mabe was running q
brandy distillery, and when he went to
examine caldron of lao gallons 1t COM
menced boiling over, ran down and took
fire as quick as powder and caught the
still. The cap was blown off and the
building was soon filled with flames.
The owner was standing near the still,
where bis two sons lay. asleep on the
door. The burning liquid ran over the
two boys. The father and his sons made
q rush for the door, but it was locked,
and by the time they succeeded in open
ing it the three men we're burned 80
badly that they will die. The house and
its contents, including several hogsheads
Of fruit were burned.
