BLACK GIRL breaches.
Large Congregations Listen to Her
Eloquent Sermons.
Although But a Child of Ten She Ex-
pounds the Scriptures Like an Old
Timer-Extracts from One
of Her Talks.

Claretta Nora Avery is, according to
the New York Herald, wonder. She
is ten years old and black, and she has
been preaching ably to colored con-
gregation in New York. A demure lit
tie woman she is, with great eyes and
a high forehead. She doesn't smile
often, and she regards life as a serious
matter. She was dressed in black, and
two big feathers sticking up from her
big hat alone suggested the world, the
flesh and the devil. Her skirts were
short. Her high-heeled shoes and her
towering hat made her just tail enough
to be seen. She came upon the plat
form, and, without paying any atten-
ton to the audience, began to pray.
She felt it was her first duty to speak
to the Lord.
Then Rev. T. S. Dart, president of the
industrial school at Charleston, S. c.,
in the interests of which the girl has
enlisted, introduced her. Her pulpit
was a small table which almost hid her
while she was kneeling. She turned
over the leaves of the well-worn Bible,
and announced her text from Kings IL,
chapter w., 14th and 22d verses. She
read d resonant voice and expounded
as she went. The theme was that there
was death in the Flame"
The audience paid the strictest at
tention. 1t crowded into the aisles and
hung to the platform. With every gaze
bent upon her, the girl scarcely seemed
to realize the presence of anyone. There
was not hint of embarrassment Her
manner was that of a pulpit orator
schooled by years approaching. Shewas
not emotional. She was calm, dignified
and serene. She spoke as one having
authority. Her gestures were graceful.
Her voice was musical, and most of the
audience could hear what she said.
"a child" said the little minister,
feels that it has done wrong when it

has broken a vase. (She pronounced it
vasz). She is troubled. She can get
no peace until she has told her parents
all about it. She has heard her con-
science and she feels nearer to God.
There is death in our hearts. There is
sin there. When we find that out it is
time to go to Jesus. You should all
prepare for the life which is to come.
You will all go into hell unless you re-
pent and go to Jesus"
An aged colored woman jumped up
from her seat in the back part of the
house and began to shout. Dress de
Lawd, honey!" she exclaimed. "Bress
de Lawdl OATS right, halle"
"Sistah," said an aged brother, "you
talk too much" and he laid his hand
gently upon her shoulder. She gath
cred strength for other CALCULATIONS a
moment later, and filed the rear of
the house with a strange, weird cry.
The little minister didn't seem to
see or hear her. She preached right
on.
''The older we grow" she said, with a
sweeping gesture, which seemed to in
dictate all the white-haired women and
gray-bearded men in the house, "the
more we should labor for the advance
ment of the Christian religion. We
should live better lives and grow
stronger to fight in the cause. The hyp-
ocrite, the false prophet and all the
devils cohorts have death in their
hearts.
"When we die and the life passes
away, where shall our souls live? Shall
they live in hell, or in Heaven with God?
eff we should live in Heaven we
must give our hearts to God. When 1
was only year and half old gave
my heart and soul to the Lord. shall
never forget the day when 1 was con-
verted. You say that 1 was too young?
oh, it is never too young to die. I
was content and peace came to me. 1
left home and friends and went forth
to preach the Gospel to all men,"
The little woman went back to her
seat beside her mother, and the preach
er offered thanks that out of the mouths
of babes had been heard the words of
truth.

Uncle Sam has his bargain
counter, just the same as less pre-
tentious esta blIshments. But Uncle
Sam has no rival in his line OF
"job lots" at least not on this side
of the Atlantic. This government
tai "cheap department" is situated
on Governors Island, and the Of
fetal documents herald it's exist
ence in the mere announcement of
"Ordnance stores for sale at the
New York Arsenal" How it came
to be established is question,
but the belief prevails that the
war department., finding itself
flooded with applications from
Grand Army posts for old cannons
to decorate soldiers monuments
and graves, provided the depart
ment to meet the demand, says
the New York Mail and Express.
Applications for field pieces to
decorate soldiers cemeteries were
for years made through some con-
gress. Gettysburg and other IA
nous resting places Of Americas
heroes just about consumed all the
old ordnance on hand, and as there
is no law authorizing the transfer
of aged cannon to Grand Army
posts, the bargain counter on Gov
ernor's Island was conceived.
Everything warlike, except cannon
and talk, is to be found there. The
government causes to be printed
from time to time list Of the use
less ordnance on hand there, and
every item on the list is coupled
with the price Of the article in
question.
For several years it has been
considered quite the thing to deco
rate ones room or den with old
swords, bayonets, or something to
give military aspect to the sur
roundings. Artists, actresses and
newspaper men are notable sup
porters OF the fad. AT the bargain
counter on Governors Island are
always to be found choice, il ma.
tured, collections Of carbines, rifles
muskets, sabers, swords, bayonets,
scabbardS and revolvers. Some of
these are still servicable, and
might readily be used to fit out an
army. The price list is inviting,
sabers ranging form % cents to 81.
breechloaders at rs cents, and
swords at all prices to suit the
times, purchaser, taste and occa-
sion.
This is not an advertisement for
the counter, but just little re-
minder that Uncle Sam is up to
the times in the retail trade.

A dog fancier once took exception to
Prof. Huxley's assertion that zone Of
the most curious peculiarities of the
dog mind was its inherent snobbish-
ness, shown by the regard paid to ex-
ternal responsibility. The dog who
barks furiously at beggar will let a
well-dressed man pass him without OPP
position" He said that, in fact, only
the dogs of well-dressed persons act so.
Dogs accustomed to men in rags bark
not at beggars, but at persons clothed
in sleek brcadcloth. Huxley may have
been all right with Heavenly bodies,
but he did not understand dogs. The
affection of the yellow dog for niger
still remains unexplained.

THE RAINES LIQUOR BILL.

New York's new liquor bill has pass
ed both branches of the New York leg
islature and is now in the hands of the
ures taken from the liquor laws of sew
eral states and, as a whole, is a great
Improvement over the liquor law now
In force in New York state. It's chief
characteristics are the substitution of
tax for a license the right of any
man to establish a saloon and sell Ii
quor who pays the tax, the granting of
local option to towns but not to cities,
and the division of the income from the
tax between the state and the locality
where the saloon is established. Free
lunches are forbidden and saloons are
prohibited within 200 feet of a church or
school. The tax is graded according
TO population. In cities of 100000 in
habitants and more, the annual tax is
$500; for cities between 10000 and So 900
people the tax is $3.50; between 5000 and
10000. $500; between 1000 and 5000, 5000,
and in places of less than 1000 inhab-
itants. 800. The feature which has
the adjustment of all excise boards,
the state alone issuing certificates to
SELL and so taking away the right of
any city or county to restrict the num-
Der of saloons. The high price of the
tax is the only restriction on the num-
Der of saloons. The consent of two
thirds of the resident property owners
in a certain locality must be obtained
before a saloon can be established
there. The present regulations. as to
the hours for opening and closing sa-
looms and keeping closed Sundays are
retained in force. The new law will
greatly increase the revenue from sa-
looms. 1t is generally considered a vast
Improvement over the present liquor
law in New York, and If its operation
proves satisfactory 1t may be adopted
in the main in many cities.

COMING BASEBALL SEASON.

The baseball clubs of the National
League are all trying this spring the
effect of rigorous training in the South
to get in shape for the great champion
ship battle. For years some of the
clubs have tried Southern training, but
this is the first year that the managers
of all the clubs have concluded to send
the teams South. The reason for their
unanimity on the benefits of prelimin-
airy training in the South is the
superiority shown during the early
weeks of last years campaign over
those teams which tried to get in shape
in Northern gymnasiums.
The Chicagos were first in the field.
They started for Galveston in Texas
on March l and will be worked steadily
there until April 4. when they will pro-
coed gradually northward playing
teams OF the Southern League on the
way. and will open the championship
season at Louisville on April 16 The
New Yorks are practicing at Jackson
Vile, Florida, and there are 40 of them
in training. If mere numbers would
win the championship this ought to be
New York's year, for that city has the
most numerous baseball club in the
history of the national game. The Gin
cinnatis are practicing at New Orleans
and the Louisvilles at Houston, Texas.
The ST. Louis club will go to Dallas.
Texas, next week. The Clevelands and
Pittsburgs are hard at work at Hot
Springs, Arkansas. The Brooklyns are
practicing in South Carolina and the
Baltimores in North Carolina The
Philadelphia and Bostons will be in
practice in Virginia in few days
The Washingtons will take less pre-
liminary training than any Of the other
teams. The players will not report until
April / and will take a short trip in
Virginia, playing clubs OF the Virginia
League.
Changes have taken place in all the
clubs since the close Of the season OF
1895, and all the clubs claim TO have
strengthened except St Louis. which
pursues the policy of selling its best
players when it can get its price for
them. 1t is likely to be lowest i'm the
race this year, the Louisvilles who have
occupied that position for several years
having materially strengthened. pursu-
ing the policy Of buying players in

statement on the money question could
be more confusing. The resolution is
intended to placate the advocates of
free coinage Of silver. while processing
devotion to honest money.
This evasion of an outspoken declar-
alton on the financial question is more
TO be feared by the friends of silver
than advocacy of a single standard. If
the conventions declared openly against
silver or openly for it, the friends Of
silver would naturally become united
under a banner that would represent
their views on this issue and the fight
would be waged on definite lines. But
evasion is more dangerous to silvers
cause than outspoken hostility. Those
who are friends OF silver in the eastern
states will probably be led to vote for
non-committal candidates on a plat
form which will be interpreted one way
In communities where silver is strong
and a directly opposite way In COM
munities where the prevailing senti-
ment is against silver.
The chief use of a political party in
this age seems to be to escape from
principles and to avoid definite dec
laration on those matters which are of
most importance to the people.

stroke of craftsmanship when he united

ment. being the weaker, he imagined,
would be politically dominated by the
stronger element and ultimately alb

take. The weaker race, being perfectly
combined in defense of its threatened
interests, formed a solid vote, which

THE KENTUCKY EIGHT.

The Kentucky legislature has ad-
journed without either electing a
United States senator or shooting any
accident. The concluding days of the
session were full of bitterness and
spite. Governor Bradley in his blind
partisanship went back on his word of
honor and placed the state house in
charge of the militia. 1t was a foolish,
disgraceful, dangerous proceeding. The
presence of armed men within and at
the door of a legislative chamber wait
ing for the first sign to begin a
slaughter is a fearful commentary on
any state where such a spectacle is
seen. Such scenes used to be common
in Europe when companies of
gendarmes were sent into the corridors
10 overawe the legislative bodies, but
they are not seen there now.
The republicans needed seventy votes
republican president of the joint ses-
sion. Speaker Reed and Senator Sher-
man sent word that sixty-nine votes
constituted a majority. and had a
republican secured that number he
would have been seated IL the repub-
licans In the senate were strong enough
70 do IL. Had the two unseated repub-
lican senators voted together with
Dunlap, in whose favor Representative
Kaufman was unseated in the
house the republicans would have had
just sixty-nine. 1t was the determine
ton of the republican leaders to vote
the two unseated senators-it was for
the accomplishment of that purpose
that the militia was called out. But
Mr.. Dunlap happened to be a man of
conscience and refused to accept Mr..
Kaufman's seat. That effectually de-
stroyed the republicans chances.
The administration democrats kept
up their fight against Blackburn to the

mean. for the battle is by no means
over. The silver forces are more alert
and determined than ever and purpose
