CAPTAIN CHARLES NJ BLACkFORD.
House, where Captain Blackford was
still speaking, and attempted 10 enter
the house evidently for the purpose OF
breaking up tie meeting, but were pre-
vented by several police officers, who
were guatdins re door.
when they found they could not enter
the Opera-House they collected around
the door and yelled at the top cf their
voices, disturbing the meeting inside and
all the people OF the neghoorhood.
CONTEMPLATED VIOLENCE.
When Captain Blackford left the Opera
House he was Warned by one Of his
friends not 20 80 up q certain street,
as they contemplated an attack upon
MIN. but when the mob started 10 follow
him they were driven back by the police
and went up another street 10 the point
AT which Captain Blackford took an cleo
tric street-car for his home on Diamond
I'M Here they surrounded the car and
continued their shouts until IL left, sew
eral threats Of violence being made by
some Of the leader.
Ii is generally believed that had net "A
number of police officers been present
Captain Blackford would have suffered
some injury az the hands Of the mob.
This action on the part Of the silver
people was peculiarly uncailed for and
unjust.
Throughout hs speech Captain Black
ford referred to those who differed from
him I'm the most courteous terms, and
his remarks were so free from passion
and bitterness as to call forth editorial
comment and commendation from the
Lynchburg News OF this morning; yet.
neither his respect fer his opponents and
their opinions. nor his own personal
standing, seemed 10 have any weight
with these people IN their blind infatua-
ton for Mr.. Bryan and his revolutionary
principles

1t is one thing to wish and another
thing to will. All men wish to be sue
cessful, prosperous men, but very many
do not will to be. They are not will
ing to submit to the necessary condi-
tions of success. So in religion. We
want more of the spirit ofconsecration.
We pray for it. And yet behind such
prayers there is often heart that has
not wiled to be more consecrated to
God. 1t ia unwilling to make the sur
render and submit to the sacrifices of
q consecrated life. 1t is not what We
desire simply, but what we will to
have on the conditions on which it is
to he obtained, that God grants to US.
To deliberately reject the evidence of
any truth or fact is to do such violence
to the mind that, If continued in, it
will destroy the power to perceive the
truth.

Waste Not, Want Not. -

1t takes a great deal of calculation
and economy to get along in the world
nowadays, and it is not every one
that is fully equal to the task. Some
men plan, experiment and economic
all their life, and after all fail of find
ing the sure road competence.
Now, economy, thrift, accumulation
Of property, lies more in the method
of saving than in making. One can
care to waste nothing without being
niggardly, and a careful person can
make an old article last and do the
work of two seasons, where most men
buy new every year.
When you get u new i'm mplement take
care of it when you make a new crop
save it, not only from the weather,
but from loss in the house. Much is
lost by rats, by leak in the roof or q
hole in the floor. Rust and rain wear
out the plows and the hoes faster than
labor.
With a little wire two pair of old
traces will make good pair and save
you dollar. A new bottom to q cart
Will sometimes prevent the need of
getting one for twelvemonth. A cul-
tivator and plow are worth more
than two plows. Corn ground is worth
more than whole corn for horses, but
for no other stock, counting the time
and toll corn at the mill.
So with 100 things. One must cal
culate and think. He must observe
and compare. The only secret about
it is to take good care of a thing after
you get it. to save your money after
you make it. Don't spend 81 when sc
cents will meet the case. Get bottom
prices when you buy.

A holy life is made up Of number
of small things; little words, not elo-
quent speeches or sermons; little deeds
nor miracles of battle, nor one great
heroic act of mighty martyrdom, make
up the true Christian life. The little,
constant sunbeam, not the lightning ;
the waters of Sloan, that Ego softly"
in the meek mission of lefreshment,
not the "waters of the river, q eat and
many" rushing down in noisy tor
rents, are the true symbols of a holy
life. The avoidance of little evils, lit
lie sins, little Inconsistencies, little
weaknesses, little follies, indiscretions
and imprudence, little foibles, indul-
gences of the flesh g; the avoidance of
such little things as these 90 far to
make up at least the negative beauty
of holy life.

The Mania for Meetings.

We have been impressed for good
many years. that we have too many
conventions. And the conventions
are too full Of CAB and gush. A room,
the four walls of which are mirrors, is
not more delusive in its effects upon
its occupants, than convention is up
on its members. They see themselves
multiplied a thousandfold, and rejoice
in the echoes of their own voices as il
the oracle of God were speaking to
them.
We need more home-staying and
more faithful work along the lines OF
everyday living. We hurt the church
by over-much hauling of its members
around. We shake our eggs so much
much we addle them.

sS House.
New York, March 31.-Four people
were killed and two injured in a fire
which started emily this morning in
the three-stOry business and tenement
building, 374 Hudson street.
The dead are Thomas Malloy, 80
years old, q fireman on the steamship
St Louis. suffocated. Archibald Cor
don, b, waiter, suffocated. Mary
Mcmahon, %, suffocated. Margaret
Ryan, 60, died on the way to the hos
pital from injuries received from
jumping from window.
The injured are Kate Higgins, IS,
leg fractured. Edward Walsh, ~,
foreman. internally hurt by falling
from q ladder.
The burned building is one Of a row
OF three-st0ry structures owned by the
Trinity church corpor ton. The
ground floor Is occupied by John III.
Eggers, q dealer In confectioners' sup
plies, and the two upper floors were
occupied by several families rs dwell
ings. The second floor, Immediately
over the confectioners' quarters, was
occupied for the most part by the fam
lily Of Thomas McManus. It was here
the fire started. Nicholas McManus
succeeded in helping several Of the
people out by leading them down the
stairs through the binding smoke in
the hallway. 1t was among the ten
ants on the top floor that the chief
danger lay. Some of them ran to the
roof and escaped in that direction and
others got down by the stairway.
Miss Margaret Ryan and Miss Kate
Higgins, one of the household, on be-
ing awakened, ran to the front win
dows on the third floor where they
lived. The firemen had already ar
rived and ladders had been placed on
the front side of the house to help take
out the tenants whose lives were in
danger. On one of these ladders was
fireman Walsh. AS he was ascending
q burst of flame shot out of one Of
the windows and he was sent reeling
to the street. AS Walsh fell, Miss
Ryan leaped from the window to the
sidewalk, and Miss Higgins, apparent
~ overcome by the smoke in the room
above, fell to the ground at almost the
same time. An ambulance was sent
for but Miss Ryan was unconscious
when placed in the conveyance, and
died before the hospital was reached.
Walsh was taken to the hospital at
the same time. He is badly, but prob
ably not dangerously hurt.
After the flames had been ex-
tinguished a search of the building
was made. and the bodies of Thomas
Malloy, Archibald Grogan and Mary
McMahon were found. All of the per-
sons found dead had been suffocated
before they were able to escape. Flow
the fire originated cannot be de-.
termincd until n thorough investiga-
ton is made. The property loss will
not exceed $4,000.

To Wreck the Capitol.

jackson. Miss, April Am attempt
was made last night to- wreck the
state capitol. At 10 o'clock, while
secretary of State Power was engaged
IN his office, he heard noise outside.
Going to the window, he saw several
men digging at the wall between the
door and window. His appearance
frightened the men away. Strenuous
EFFORTS were made during the recent
session of the legislature to provide
for new building, but nothing was
done, and it is thought some mis-
creants took this means Of securing
action.
