FREDERICKSBURG, Tex, May 10.
Fifty years ago this month, in
the most beautiful month Of all the
year, the city Of Fredericks burg
was founded. Animated with a
feeling Of patriotism we joined q
large body Of excurters on the
Arkansas Pass railway to Comfort
and from thence by stage over
hill and dale to the place Of desti-
nation. The town was already
filling with strangers from near
and far, but we found first class
quarters at Louis Dietz's Central
hotel. The town was beaming in
bunting and gala attire even more
so than the young miss who makes
her first "entre" into society than
did Fredericksburg in the date and
day on this memorial birthday
more, yet did history prove it's
progressive spirit as taught by
Galilai when he said land yet she
revolves"-or when we remember
Col. Ingersoll's assertion: "That
Notwithstanding the croakings
OF ignorant fanatics, that the
world is retrograding, but that we
are progressing at fast strides to-
ward an ideal perfection Of humani-
ity which even our present mental
qualities cannot now foresee.
Fifty years ago, men who saw
into the future also saw the storm
coming. which was showing itself
in small outbreaks of dissatisfac-
ton on the political horizon of
Germany, and to which the COL
lapse of lS4S became at that time
the finale OF political aspiration OF
those men who had to become the
martyrs OF that lost cause for Ger.

cred up all they held dear, sacri-
ficing possession and belongings to
start for the mythical Golconda of
the new world, of which only
meagre accounts had been OBJ
tanned, but which was after all to
be the ideal land Of milk and
honey, OF which they had heard
that it was free from the iron rule
OF absolutism, at least from that
kind which was administered by
the governments Of the old world
Friday morning, even before

In second article on the lecture of
III. G.. Thayer at the college in Nalpa
raiso, the Evening Messenger says
"The lecture was one of the most IN
structive as well as one of the best ever
delivered in our city. For more than
one hour Mr.. Thayer held the undiyid-
ed attention of one of the largest and
most critical audiences ever assembled
here. At the close of the address one
felt that he had actually taken the
journey through the ancient city OF
Rome, so realistic were the scenes as
described. The lecture was scholarly
and showed great care In its prepara-
ton. One of the best evidences of its
appreciation was that Immediately at
Its close arrangements were commenced
to secure Mr.. Thayer to deliver anot her

"Gen." Randall, who endeavored to
make a hero of himself by marching at
the head of hobo army from Chicago
to the national capital, has more com
mon sense now drilled into him by the
diamondlike point of experience. This
may be putting it little stronger than
the general deserves but he ought to
have more sense for he has had the
kind of experience which SO often
makes sane men sensible when moth
ing else will. Not satisfied with march
ing at the head of hobo army he con-
celyed the idea of establishing an ideal
town on the steppes of northern Mich
igan where wealth would come easy and
where the citizens would enjoy the
fruits of common labor and never
the acquaintance of the trials and fail
ureS of life.
The result of the first years work
at this ideal town Of Hiawatha where
municipal cooperation was to be king
proves the best laid plans of foolish
men too frequently are utter failures.
The sole result seems TO be 1000 bush
els OF potatoes worth 10 cents bushel,
and more experience than they know
what to do with The inhabitants,
numbering some fifty families, are III a
very hard way. and To cap the climax
"Gen.' Randall has gone to Chicago.
The man who had an idea that all the
fools are dead may now change his
mind "Gen." Randall still lives.

Was Well Received.

The big audience which listened to II.

was highly pleased with his address. In
the course of extensive notices, the dai-

The Evening Messenger: "The speak

and his lecture is highly spoken of.
This morning he gave short talk TO
the students at chapel exercise

out to hear him and all were delighted
with the most excellent address they
heard. Mr.. Thayer has Travelled eXten-
sively over foreign grounds and made
especial study of that portion pertain
ing to his theme, so he was thoroughly
competent and able to give most de-
lightful and graphic account. This
morning Mr.. Thayer attended chapel
exercises and spoke briefly to the
students. He spoke in the highest terms
of the school and the good work that is
being accomplished

SUNDAY SPORTS
Opinion of an Oakland Preacher on
the Day.

opinion an Oakland Preacher on
the DsY.
In the discussion of a proposed
Sunday ordinance, the Rev. James
Small of the First Christian
Church of Oakland, Cal, said:
There are no holy days now.
Persons are holy and not days. 1
have no objection to a Sunday
picnic, because l have that oppor-
tunity myself during the week.
Our position as a religious body
is that if the workingman cannot
keep this day sacred he does not
break any law or authority of the
New Testament. Ii such amuse-
ments as baseball and football
would not keep men entirely away
from the house of God L would be
in favor IF them attending them
on Sunday. II such games are
wrong on Sunday they are wrong
on every other day of the week. l
am crank on adapting Christian
ity to this age. There is an elias
tic element in the word of God
that forever adapts it to the great
onward march of humanity and to
the changing conditions of men
and times. We work harder,
think faster, burn out the candle
quicker at both ends these tele-
phonic days than ever before and
men need these Sundays of rec.
reation. There is no command
for the sinner to 60 to church.
The church must enter into COM
petition with all these amusements
and she must hold her own and
adapt herself to meet these con-
ditions."
