personal character hair to carry n
political point.
The professional man, physician,
lawyer, preacher, who treats his pa
tients, or clients, or congregation dis
honestly, is man who while he bears
the stamp of the hundred cent dollar
is in reality only worth fifty-three.
There is no calling in the world more
sacred than that which deals with the
human body, and yet how habitually
physicians deceive their patients, salv-
ing their consciences with the assur-
ance that it is for the good of >the pa
tents. This is none the less true of
the lawyer, who conveniently, as the
old mot has it "lie first on this side
and then on that" Not that there
are not honorable men in both pro-
LESSONS, men who would scorn to de-
ceiye and to whom a trust is sacred
legacy to be guarded if necessary with
life, but there are too many of both
professions who forget their high and
honorable calling and making of it
means only of gain pan out but fifty,
three cent dollars in the end.
The pulpit is no whit behind the
other so-called professions in this I'M
der-coming upon an overcoming valu-
alton. The insincerity of the cloth
is universally commented upon. The
Light preacher does not believe in
this. There are noble martyrs to ease
and luxury and condition among the
pulpit Founders Of this generation.
But there is among them that DISPOSE
ton to be taken for little finer clay
than others, to be rated a little higher
in their calling, to be called rabbi, and
whenever and wherever this is noted
you will find a fifty-three cent parson.
Honor and fame alike from no con-
dition rise. 1t is acting well your part

Several of OHr San Antonio society
ladies' arenfcquiring the art of shoot
ing. dpFas on the wing: 1t has become
quite the fad with some of our society
young sportsmen to take their best
girls out dove shooting.
The Light is in receipt of the pro-
gram of the second annual shoot of
the North Texas Gun Club League,
which takes place at Greenville, Tex
as, August 9Th and 9th next. The
program is quite liberal in added
moneys and merchandise donations,
donated by Greenville's liberal spirit
ed citizens.
The league has been in existence
now about one var, and has done
much to elevate sport and protect
game and fish. The following will
explain its object and boundaries:
Article 1, Sec. 1. This association
is formed for the promotion of kindly
intercourse and generous emulation
among the sportsmen. To aid in Sc
curing proper legislation for the pro-
lection of wild birds, fish and animals
throughout the state of Texas during
the season in which it is improper to
pursue them, and for the rigorous en-
forcement of such laws.
Article 4, Sec. l. Any club located
north of the Texas & Pacific railroad,
from TeXarkana to Longview; thence
on and north of the l. & G.. \. rail
road, from Longview to Palestine;
thence up same road to Tyler: thence
on and north of the Cotton Belt, from
Tyler to Hillsboro; thence on the par
allel of Hillsboro due west to the Rio
Grande, with four members, may be-
come a member of the League.

terfeited, and this is the real test of
value. A fifty-three cent preacher is
more easily spotted because he pro-
fesses so much higher value.
Improper rating is at the bottom OF
almost all of this fifty-three cent hu-
mainly. The stamp is not correct that
is used in giving the imprint. The as
say is wrong. 1t requires wisdom, ex-
perience and nice sense of things to
put a proper valuation on anything.
Perhaps there is not in the whole
range of human decision so hard
thing as to rate men and women at
their worth. There is SO much that
appears different from what is that
the real character Of the human is
missed. The fictitious value that has
been put upon faith and the discredit
that has attached to character, in &C.
clesiastic circles, is partly to blame for
this. In days past when the church
Jue WOIlu VI DSiiCL
was everything and manhood of char
acter nothing. Now that day has
passed there will come better, that
is truer valuation Of manhood.
There is a tendency in all societies,
among all classes, every where, to put
the higher value on the visible and
more easily simulated attributes, or
characteristics. The deeper things Of
life, integrity Of soul, ingram man
hood, incorruptible honesty, unim.
peachable truthfulness, gentleness Of
spirit and kindness of disposition, all
these have been passed by and their
possessors discounted because they
did not have the dollar stamp Of
church or society upon them. Rated
as below the standard such men and
women have lowered oNhigh above it
that it was not possible to measure
them by the petty standaEQs OF daiiy

seeing these despised or moderated,
the great world has considered these
of less worth, and accepted the false
stamp that puts the hundred dollar
brand on the fifty-three cent man.
The world is getting its eyes open
all the time. Every year, each gen.
Grafton sees a grand advance along
the highway Of a better rating, that Is
a more just one. By and by there
will be a general acceptance of new
ratio in which integrity and truth and
honor and kindness and all manhood
quality will be properly appreciated
and it's value fixed. 1t is no small
thing TO see and know that this is so.
IL Is matter OF real rejoicing. This
appreciation will grow all the more
rapidly on account Of your conformi-
ty to the higher standard and your
recognition of the manhood worth OF
those who approximate it. 1t is only
when the hundred cent man and
woman is really recognized that the
fifty-three cent article is at a discount.
These fifty-three cent frauds have had
their day. To the Light congregation
it is given to know the difference and
in all their dealings with their fellows
to put the premium on the hundred
cent article.

HARRIET BEEcHER STOVE DEAD.
Author of "Uncle Toms Cabin" Passed
Away Yesterday.

Hartford, Conn, July Mrs. Har-
riet Beecher Stowe passed away at her
residence, in this city, at noon to-day
At her bedside We're three members of
the family-Mrs. Isabella Beecher
Hoker, her husband, DR.. Hooker, and
Harriet Stowe, a daughter of the au-
thoress. Throughout the forenoon
the friends of Mrs. Stowe were gather
ed in the room waiting for the end
Death came without a struggle and the
end merely appeared to be a final con-
tinuance of the unconscious state into
which Mrs. Stowe lapsed on Monday
The arrangements for the funeral
have been but partially completed
The services in Hartford will be pri-
yate, and interment will take place in
Andover, Mass.
Mrs. Stowe was striken with conges-
tion of the brain and paralysis Friday.
She was not confined TO her bed un-
til Monday. She grew rapidly worse
Monday, and in the afternoon passed
into a state of unconsciousness.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was
among the best known of American
women in the field of literature. Her
chief work was Uncle Toms Cabin, y
but in addition she produced a great
quantity OF literature, her works num-
bering nearly half a hundred She
was born in Litchfeld Conn, June IA,
1912, and thus lived to be over "a years
of age. She was the sixth child of
Rev. DR.. Lyman Beecher. and a sister
Of Henry Ward Beecher, the famous
Brooklyn preacher.
In 1886 she married Rev. Calvin Ellis
Stowe, who had been a professor of
Greek at Dartmouth, but who was at
that time professor of Sacred Litera-
ture in the Lane Theological Seminary.
Uncle Toms Cabin" was first pub
lished in the National Era at Wash
ington, running as a serial from June,
1851, until April, 1852 1t was publish
ed in book form in Boston in 1852, and
in the first five years following its
appearance nearly half million copies
were sold in this country alone
The success of ''Uncle Toms Cabin"
induced her to devote herself en-
tirely to writing, with the result that
there was an almost constant success
sion of works from her pen for period
of over a quarter of a century.

GENTRY AND JOE PATCHEN.

Chicago, July Joe Patchen and

The ROYAL HENLEY REGATTA.
The Yale Carsmen Have Already won
toe Hearts of the English,

Henley-on-Thames, July 1.-The near
approach of the days set apart Tor tae
Koyal Henley regatta, July Q, Z, ., ana
Q. IS increasing the already very great
interest is manifested in the gallant
Young Americans who are gong 10
uphold the glorious traditions OF Aale
on the Thames. From the first mo-
n,ent of their appearance here up 10 the
present they have steadily improved
in form. and have deservedly won the
approval of the press and the public.
On All sides the New Haven oarsmen
are classed as thorough gentlemen and
sportsmen of 0he first water. Conse-
ouently. however, strong may be the
desire among Engalshmen TO see the
Grand Challenge Cup successfully ae-
Tended by a home crew, nobody VIII
begrudge the Yale boys the victory II
they defeat the crack crew OF Britain
and their triumph IS certain 10 be
greeted almost as enthusiastically As
If Leander or New College turn out TO
be the winners.
The utmost good feeling prevails on
all sides. the cup of good fellowship
is oyerflowing, and when the rival
crews measure oars on Tuesday next 1T
will be in healthy, honest rivalry with
no tinge of bitterness on either side.
The withdrawal of the Eaton school
boys having been disgraeefully brought
about there will be no necessity for
rowing a trial heat for the Grand on
July 6. and the first contest for that
trophy will, therefore, occur on the
following day.
A change for the better in many res
pecss was made in the Yale boat to-
day. The English oars have been tried
and found not adapted to the Yale
crew. As a result they have been dis
carded and American oars will carry
the sons of Old Eli to victory or defeat.
Leander and New College are look
ed upon as Yale's strongest rivals and
the latter, it is admitted, viii take a
lot of beating.
Trinity Hall with five members of
the crew which beat Cornell, may also
be looked upon as certain to put up A
good race and so the contest for the
Grand may be narrowed down to Yale,
Leander, New College and Trinrty
Hall.

A BIG DEFICIT FOR THE YEAR.
Government Expenditures Exceed the
Receipts by S26. .O42, 244.

Washington, July 1.-The compara-
tive statement of the government re-
ceipts and expenditures issued by the
Treasury department to-day shows
the total receipts from all sources
during the fiscal year just closed to
have been $326, 6,1s9, ,226, and the expen-
ditures 1852 1881, ,457 which leaves a de-
ficit for the year of S26,042,244. AL
though there was a surplus for June Of
$2,349, ,430, it is expected that the fig
ures for July will show deficit of at
least 100000 and probably more.
The appropriation of $5,000,000 for
sugar bounty payments is now ayaila-
BILE and it is the expectation that all
of the claims will have been settled
and paid before the end of the month.
During July, the payments on account
of interest, pensions and naval appro-
priations will be exceptionally large,
so that the deficit for the month is
likely to be above $10,000,000 rather
than less. The showing for the year
is far from satisfactory to the Treasury
officials, and what is equally as dis
quieting fact is that the imme-
date future promises nothing better.
The receipts from Internal Revenue
during the year amountd to $146, $685.
264, nearly $11 100000 less than the
Secretary's estimates sent to Congress.
The customs yielded $160,534,351 or
S11 1.465,649 less than the Secretary's
estimate The total receipts for the
wear, hokever, show gain of about
S12. 500, 900 over 1895. The customs in
creased about $s,250000, the Internal
Revenues about $3,000,000. The re-
ceipts from miscellaneous sources
make up the balance.
The pension payments during the
year amounted to $139,434,046, re-
duction of nearly $2,o0o,ooo from last
years payments. The interest pay
ments during the year increased over
$4,250,000.
