1t is, we believe, the prevailing
opinion with the average mass of
reaGers-or those who can read
that one must write Il book or
an essay or a sermon in order to
be eloquent, and play with mas
ter touch upon the sy ympathies
and lead people up to a realiza-
ton of the sublime. AMI yet
and yct-well-here it is, from
the gifted pen Of editor Joe Cald-
we'll in yesterdays Charlotte OBJ
server:
This old world is not such an
awful Wilderness of woe. The
heart of human kind beats ever
with a sympathetic throb. When
the newspapers-winged heralds
of modern progress-fiy through
out the length and breadth of the
land, bearing the news of some
awful calamity, the heart of the
universe beats as the heart of one
mar. C:urch fuses, political
differences, society jealousies, the
mad rush for gold-getting, all
check up for a little while, and
the good true beautiful in hu-
manity rises to the surface for a
brief space, while the eye of Pity,
beholding the scene of wreck or
carnage or inundarion or desola-
ton by fire, as the case may be, is
dimmed with a clustering tear.
This feeling is sincere, too, and
many men and more women 90
down deep into their treasure
stores, following up sympathy
with substance.
This has been the case in the
appalling, unprecedented di a ter
which has just befallen the fair
city of St Louis and the good old
State of Missouri. The news OF
yesterday as it came ticking from
the instrument in the Observer 5
press room and clicking from the
operator typewriter, seemed to
thrill with this tender sympathy
of humanity; and Gods myster-
ious messenger, electricity-so
faithful as servant and so fearful
as master-which had wrought
such havoc out upon the Father OF
Waters ON Wednesday, came tip
toeing over the wires with the sad
story of its own uncomfortable
outburst of passion and anger,
like some heart-broken penitent
softly approaching the confess
ional.
The first business of the House
of Representative yesterday was
to take action to relieve the suf
fering a5 ST. Louis. The first
transaction of the Southern
Presbyterian Assembly was 6

1t is good sign, this feeling

II is an answer to pessimism.

YOUR PHYSICAL CONDITION
needs attention at this time. If you are
tired. weak and nervous, it is clear that
your blood is impure, and without
doubt there has been too much over
work or strain on brain and body. The
course of treatment for such condi-
tion is plain and simple. The blood
must first be purified so that the ner-
vous system, and in fact all the organs
will be fed upon pure blood. Intelli-

The committee on credentials was ap-
pointed and the convention adjourned In

the belief that the convention will not ad-
jOurn before tomorrow night.

Decatur, H., May 1.-THE Buffalo Bank
a Buffalo, twenty miles west of here
was robbed of $1,000 in cash at noon
to-day by two strangers, of whom the
cashier has been able to furnish only an
imperfect description. At that hour Cash
Ter Huffbarger was alone in the bank
and there was no one in the immediate
vicinity on the streets The two men
entered as though ON business, one step
ping up to the cashiers window, while
the other walked toward the end of the

the supposed customer, and partially
leaned over the counter He was seized
by the throat without a word, and in an
instant the other robber had got behind
the counter and grabbed him from behind.
The cashier was then bound hand and
loot, and a gag thrust into his mouth.
The money on the counter was shoveled
into a grip sack and then the vault was
entered and all of the currency taken
from it. The cashier was then rolled un-

One OF the Men Involved the PrOprI-
the other "A Gambler Who Has
Killed a Man-The Gambler Ae-
cuses the Newspaper Man of
HOunding Him.
Baton Rouge. La, May 1A-Much ex-
element was caused here to-day by a
difficulty between Dominick O'Maley,
proprietor of the Item Of New Orleans
and Louis Claere, the man who killed
Patrick Mealy. a prominent politician
Of New Orleans, some years ago. O'Mal-
ley came here in the interest OF the pop
ulite-republican combine, and Claere came
to open a gambling house. OMalley, in
his capacity, as a detective, had a good
deal to do with the conviction of Claere
for the killing of Mealy After Claere
got out of the penitentiary he opened the
Eden. variety dive in New Orleans. and
O'Malley pursued him in his newspaper,
and finally succeeded in having the Eden
closed. Finding Claere running a gam
bling house here O'Malley seems to have
again interfered with Claere's plans.
Early this morning the men met and
Claere says he asked O'Malley why he
was trying to put people on to him, say
ing: You know the fix I am in, and
that l cannot afford 10 have trouble"
He says O'Malley called him liar with
an oath. At any rate, Claere knocked
O'Malley down, and was only prevented
from shooting him by DR. Brumby pull
ing a pistol on Claere and demanding fair
play. \ great crowd witnessed the af-
fair. Claere cursed and abused O'Malley
for everything, and dared him to pick up
the pistol which had fallen from his pocket
when he was knocked down OMalley
declined TO fight whereupon Claere went
his hands as he could and threw 1t into
O'Malley's face, repeating the act twice
Finally the chief of police interfered, and
Claere was taken in one direction and
O'Nalley in the other. The affair was uni
versally discussed and diminished the in
tercst in the political situation. Politics
had nothing to do with the difficulty.

Washington, May 1.-THE Senate bill
to restrict immigration by the application
OF the illiteracy test was to-day the oc-
caslon Of the delivery Of two speeches.
one against and one for the bill. Mr..
Gibson, dem. of Maryland. spoke in op-
position and Mr.. Nelson, rep, of Mime
sofa. in its advocacy.
Mr.. Gibson attributed the instlgation
OF the bill TO the : T. A., which he char.
acterized as secret, oath-bound, red
lettered, left-handed. dark-lantered organ
ization The real purpose Of the bill was.
he asserted. hostility to the Catholic
MIR. Nelson defended the BIN on account
or the necessity OF restricting immigra-
tion and denied that the A. +. A. or hos.

ing been taken up for the sole purpose
of having those speeches delivered.

Gently proposed In the German Relchstag
was noticed in the Senate to-day by Mr.
Camery, dem, Of Louisiana, in some re-
marks on a bill providing for an increase

weeks ago, II was with the understanding
by unanimous consent that IL was to be
taken up again after the passage Of the
river and harbor bill and that the final
vote was to be taken at o'clock Of the
second day.
When Mr. German referred to-day to
that unanimous agreement, Mr.. Mitchell OF

SENATOR'S AND ADJOURNMENT.
The First Week in June Now Named
as Gef-Away Time.

Washington. May 1.-THE republicans Of
the Senate will hold a caucus tomorrow
morning at II o'clock for the purpose Of
considering the question Of adjournment
The call was circulated by Senator Chand-
Ter and was generally signed by those
who are opposed to the repeal of the free
alcohal clause Of the tariff bill which
Senator Sherman and several other re-
publicans are anxious to have repealed
IT is said that the caucus will endeavor
to reach conclusion on the subject of
adjournment and the bills that shall be
considered before that time arrives. The
general impression prevails that final ad-
journment can be had in the first week
of June without trouble or Inconvenience.
II Is the intention 10 engage In some
plain talk at this conference and to en-
deavor to show the advocates of the re-
peal of the free alcohol clause how impos-
sible II is to take up this amendment to
the tariff act without coupling II with
other amendments along republican lines
II IS claimed that the silver republicans
will not do anything to precipitate a finan-
cial discussion and that II Senator Sher-
man and those who are with him in the
matter will agree 10 let the repeal 20 by
the board, there will be no stumbling
block TO an adjournment as soon as the
river and harbor bill becomes a law.

on Episcop1cy. there was little OF no
interest IN the conference to-day.
DR. Broadbeck OF the committee on cd-
ucaton submitted a report 10 the effect
that In the cases OF candidates for minis
terial orders the certificates OF eIamlpa-
tOn by professors OF theological SEMI
naries be accepted by the conference. This
would have the effect OF making candi-
dates eligible to deacon's orders after two
years IN the school without the addi-
uonal conference course. The report was
adopted.
The action OF the conference IN reducing
the number Of bishops TO be elected IS
looked upon IN some quarters as a means
OF getting rid OF the VeXed question OF
a cOlored bishop They may secure one
or two minor conference offices, but the
greater portion of their satisfaction viii
probably have to be vested In the portion
of the committee report which was adopt
ed. providing that the time has now ar
rived when the conference may with pro-
priety elect a bishop from among 100 col
Ored preachers within IT'S jurisdiction"
Whether they will be satisfied with the
shadow instead Of the substance OF their
desire, remains for tho future TO dis
close
