A Rannina Account of Occurrences in the
 Line Cities
The Charity isall.

idot sodJuiud} UlguJ m the dlmdcei of the Mexican custom house a grand charity ball was given for the beneG of the Sinaloa sufferers. The atTal was very successfully managed and large sum was realized therefrom.
 The 'almacenr had been plainly but tastefully decorated and the floor was covered with canvass, being in perfect condition for dancing, which was in. dulged in by those who attended until four o'clock in the morning.
 About eleven o'clock committee of ladies consisting of Seloras Ana D. de Ogarrio, Catalina NJ. de Ramirez and Celsa NJ. de Agullar, commenced the sale of tickets for the refreshments. which was the signal for the beginning Of merry war between the young men to see who could take the largest number of young ladies to refresh ments, which of course swellcd the proceeds Of the affair greatly.
 A number of the older men present formed conspiracy to deprive some the younger ones of their dancers and when a young man would have dance engaged with one of the many be- witching young ladies present, they would buy the privilege, paying as high as twenty dollars for the dance.
 Sunday night another ball was held in the same place which was fully as successful, both financially and socially as the one the previous evening.
  Yesterday the Mckinley x Hobart and Doran Club Of Nogales. received | the new badges ordered last week. The badge is beautiful blue ribbon. i with a gold fringe pendent from d white enameled bar, bearing the words Mckinley x Hobart" Above the rlbbonhangs from the bar tiny Amer ican flag, and hung from the end of that by a ring is d large medallion with excellent pictures of Mckinley x Hobart on one side, and two crossed flags on the other.

EDISON KEITH'S DEATH.

Epson KEITH was in his accustomed
pew in st. Paul's Universalist Church in
this city on Sunday morning, apparently
one of the most self possessed and at
tentive hearers. Looking merely at the
outward man the conclusion would be
at once drawn that here was a strong,
contented, happy and prosperous citizen,
rejoicing in the mpanionship of wife
and kindred in the worship Of the sanct-
ury and devoutly attentive to the service
OF the day. Alas! How little we know of
the future or of the mysteries of the per-
sonality of those nearest to us in the COM
mon walks of life! While Edison Keith

Sunday morning, the darkest shadows
were falling thickly around him; be-

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION CLASSES

The plan on which the University OF
Chicago was founded five years ago con.
templated the placing of University in.
struction within the reach of all persons
in and near Chicago who desire it
whether they can attend the University
or not. In carrying out this purpose
resident classes conducted by Uni-
versity instructors have been organized
to meet in various parts of the city
These classes are open to all who wish
to join them. So successful has been
the work that the University has set
apart special day in recognition of the
large number of persons who attend
these classes. The program of the Au-
tumn Convocation of the University will
therefore contain new feature. 1t is
the announcement of Saturday, OCT. 3rd
as Non resident Glass Day. This day is
the opening day of nonresident class
work for 1867. Students who wish to
enroll as members of the classes begin
ming the first week in October will visit
the University on that day. and in the
afternoon at 3 o'clock, speeches will be
delivered by President Harper and
others. During the first year of the
University, eleven classes we're formed
with total enrolment of 129. Both the
number of the classes and the enroll
ment has steadily increased until during
the past year IL classes we're organized
with a membership of 1l42
The success not only of nonresident
class work, but of University Extension
10 general since it's Introduction into
this country, has been remarkable. The
Importance of the Movement was early
recognized by our most prominent edu-
Gators.
In view of the excellent opportunity
which University Extension offers to
busy people. it seem strange that in this
country working men are slow to accept
it's advantages. 1t is not SO in England.
There the Movement has received the
support of the most influential labor
leaders. Mr.. Tom Mann, of England,
speaking to working men, said, IF you
are really DESTROYS of contributing some
thing towards your country's well being,
if you are really willing to be at work in
your respective centres to remove some
of these evils, then you can each be at
work spreading light, spreading knowl-
edge through the agency Of the Exten
sion Movement. All friends of educa-
ton will hope that the knowledge a,cu-
mulated at the Universities will be
distributed among the people to elevate
their ideals and to give them larger and
fuller life."
The method of extending University
teaching by means of classes conducted
by instructors from the University is a
good one and is easily practicable in the
city and it's immediate suburbs. Every
person desiring educational privileges
and who cannot take advantage of regu-
lar University training will welcome the
opportunity which these classes afford
for intellectual improvement.

Curtis declared that 1.-The development
of this University Extension movement
and its extraordinary success are the
most significant facts in the modern his
tory of education" The system adopted
by the University of Chicago is well
adapted to the needs Of our city and the
people of its immediate suburbs. Glasses
in any subject taught in the University
are formed wherever six or more persons
join in the request for instruction. The
University instructors serve the classes
on payment of small fee and meet once
a week for a two hours session at the
time and place most convenient for the
class.

known to all, and an impending fate,
induced by long continued illness, with
sufferings borne largely in secret. was
rapidly closing in upon him with its aw-
full results. Before another autumn sun
rose upon the city where he had spent so
many happy years, Edison Keith had
ended his own life beneath the dark
waters of the lake and the career OF the
prosperous merchant, the eminent citi
zen. the generous friend and the devoted
husband and father, had closed in this
tragic manner.
1t is one of the mysteries of mental
disease that sometimes its insidious ap-
proacEes are not recognized until too
late and the mind suddenly ends in
sudden collapse. This was the case with
Mr.. Keith. While suffering from chronic
dyspepsia and insomnia, and subject of
of late years to fits of depression, not
even his family recognized his danger
GUS condition; still less could they an
ticipate his fearful end. Surrounded
with every possible earthly comfort OF
an external nature; happy ia his home
and with wife and children; with large
fortune securely invested and no en-
barassments pressing upon him. the
mind breaks down in the awful struggle
with disease and in sudden attack OF
insanity, he ends his sufferings and his
life.
The tragic end of Mr. Keith is greatly
deplored in Chicago and is the sorrow OF
the hour. The suicide took place, it is
inferred, early on Monday morning. The
body had not been recovered up to
Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. Mr..
Keith's hat and coat found on the
pier at the foot of Thirteenth street, is
the tangible evidence of the suicide.
Further particulars of this tragic event
which has taken away this prominent
citizen and generous friend of st. Paul's
Church will be given hereafter.

INCONSISTENCIES.

How inconsistent Of minister who
has been ordained to preach the Gospel
and be an example in the pulpit and
out of it, worthy of imitation, to be
addicted to the use of tobacco. Il is true
as rule, he does not allow himself to
be seen on the street smoking or chew
ing, still in his home, or private apart
ment he does indulge; yes, he will par
ticipate on the sly in the habit with GER
tain comrades, or followers who are
given to the evil and who will not give
him away. Then as he hears the bell
call to the prayer meeting or public ser.
vice, he will carefully and quickly put
off the Indian weed scented garments,
cleanse his mouth. don an untainted
Costume, spray his face and hair with
altar of roses, violet, or musk. and then
HE away to his duties as though he had
just come from his closet, arrayed in the
savory of all that is good and pure.
OF course his lips are now sealed
against his saying word in opposition
to the use of tobacco. and the lion in
spite of the sleeps clothing and all the
painstaking, becomes exposed. The
very fact of his trying to conceal. re-
veals the truth. Now out siders look
upon him as slave to his appetite and
hypocrite, and those within the fold
who are living up to their profession.
cannot feel that they have true shep-
herd leading them in green pastures.
What hindrance such minister is
to the real progress of the Gospel! A
ministerial Snuff ,r and Janus is to be
abominated above all other jockeys.
Men of the world are never drawn by
such dissemblers into the pale CT the
Christian church. unless it be for q
cloak to render themselves more sue.
cessful in some iniquitous work. Such
inconsistency aud such religion are very
far from being Christian. s.H.M'c.

CHURCHES AND SALOONS.

Should a Universalist church or pas
tor ask or accept money from saloon
keepers or distillers for the purpose of
sustaining the Gospel of Jesus?
No; because the saloonkeeper's and
distiller's business is wicked, even muir
derous. They are often more guilty
than one whose hand is redeemed with
his brothers blood. Their crime is one
which every Universalist minister is
bound by most sacred obligations to do
all that he can to destroy.
Every intelligent person 10 Christen-
dom knows that the saloonkeeper
breaks the highest moral law of the
universe every day of his life; that every
penny that he takes from his victims is
blood money and that he is frequently
a criminal before the civil laws of his
own land. A Universalist church which
has failed to teach LIQUOR dealers that it
is witness Of God against their nefari-
GUS traffic, mot against them) is not
faithful to it's stewardship.
Saloonkeepers do not give money to
build church which would destroy
their business, but either believing that
the church winks at their crimes, or as
a seductive bribe to silence it's ministry.
Their money never builds the kingdom.
Let US not be deceived. Let other
churches less enlightened build as they
will, but let US not only keep the faith
once delivered to the saints, but also
keep ourselves unspotted from the
world. =,

MY FIRST UNIvERsALIsT SERMONS.

Today august 3d. have been ten
miles to hear a Universalist minister
preach. l know it will indeed seem
strange to many. for l am at present a
member of the Christian church and
have been for nearly seven years. Dur
ing the past two years have thought
much about religion. and more so during
the last year, or evea the past few
months.
have not been influenced by any per-
son or persons. but have taken the Bible
and my own thinking and thereby es-
tablished my belief believe that every
true Christian should read and study
Gods word. and this have been doing.
In conversation on religion with friend
whose church knew not. my belief was
strengthened and / might say encour-
aged. but as yet knew not toward what
church l was drifting and l am truly
glad those convictions dawned upon me
as they did. Had l been preached to,
or lectured. or anything of the kind,
there would not have been the spiritual
good for myself.
Until a week ago. did not know
there was a church teaching as 1 be-
lieved, and two days ago when learned
that l might hear Universalist sermons
ten miles away, was most anxious to
go, and now that l have been. can say
those two sermons were enjoyed more
than words can express.
The sermons we're preached by Mr.,
June, of Girard. The subject of the
morning was "What is the use of Relig-
ion, anyway" and the text james 1.27
If there was right-minded person who
listened to that discourse and did not
feel and believe its truth. God pity their
narrow -mindedness!
In the afternoon the sermon was
equally good, but l had been so capt.
waited by the former one that did not
appreciate it so well. Had heard those
sermons some time ago, could not
have appreciated them as now do. for
believe that l am ready to hear and
to receive.
The attendance at both services was
very good, considering it was not very
we'll advertised; all seemed we'll pleased
and, as for myself, have not the least,

let churches to be held in Oak Park in
October promises to be one OF the most
interesting meetings of our church in
the West for many years. There is a
particular charm connected with the
event in the fact that there are to be
three other representative gatherings Of
the church at the same time-one for the
Eastern States. one for the Middle States
and one for the Southern States. With
four such meetings of ministers and lay
men much should be accomplished tow
ards the advancement of all the inter
ests of our denominational enterprises.
DIR. A. J. Garfield. of Chicago, has
kindly consented to preach the opening
sermon, which we venture to say will
amply repay the friends and delegates
for an extra effort that they may hear
the famous preacher. DIR. E. L. Rex

the last eighty years have, as has been
stated, been comparatively short, and
this fact alone encourages the belief
that we are nearing the beginning OF
perhaps even greater prosperity than
signalized the preceding industrial

The outbreaks of passion are gusts
only"
Rev. Mr.. Wendte's Proposition.
(Western Christian Advocate.)
The proposal to take life as relief to
suffering invalidism is favored 1--WE do
not say Intentionally with that which lies
at the roots of all suicide committed by
weak and desperate people who may be
thought to be Of otherwise sound mind.
Our papers frequently tell about des-
pairing husbands who insanely conclude
that they cannot longer protect and feed
their wives and children, and therefore
proceed to take the lives of entire fam
lilies. That line of discussion ought
never to find it's way into any pulpit.
Suicide is contagious among weak peo-
pie. and this very suggestion about the
right of friends to put an end to the
sufferings of beloved invalid is exceed
ingly harmful and unworthy. The
Christian who has been taught the re.
fnements and supporting influences of
that grace which God commends to his
creatures is in little danger, but scores
of unlike people in almost every public
congregation are placed in special peril
by every proposal to tamper with life and
death. Life is among the more sacred
of sacred gifts. The whole matter is
unnatural, dangerous, sensational, i'm
practicable and brutal.
