In 1893 Ia mysterious malady was traced to cargoes of sick parrots landed at Bordeaux. The sickness soon after broke out in Paris, whither some of the ailing birds had been sent. It was in that year spoken of as the parrots plague It appears that another cargo has renewed the distemper. The bills of mortality of Versailles and Maison Lafittee record several deaths from this malady, which is due to septicaemia called by Laics parrots rinderpest. Dr. Dujardin-Beaumetz says that he cannot doubt that the parrot is the root of the evil. The insalubrious condi- tions in which this bird is transported to Europe are to blame. It is suddenly taken from forest to sea air, badly fed, and kept in crowded cages that are noisome before the voyage is half over.

A French antiquarian has brought to light some interesting dressmaker's bills of the ladies of Napoleon's court. They are from the account-books of Leroy, the Worth of his time in matters of dress and a bad fellow generally, but an undisputed arbiter of taste in fem inine raiment. It appears that Joseph ines yearly bill was about $30 000, and this was a. greater amount than Marie Louise or Queen Hortense dared or de- sired to spend. Napoleon's mother was not a patron of Leroy, which is ex- plained by the fact that she preferred to receive her dresses from her daugh- ters rather than purchase them her self.

Two smart tramps beat a saloon keeper at Tipton, Indiana, out of sev- eral drinks of fine whiskey by a queer trick the other day. They passed gal Ion jug over the bar and asked 70 have it filled with whiskey. After it had been filled then tendered dollar in payment The bartender said the whis- key was of the four-dollar kind and re- fused to take the dollar. The tramps declined to pay more, and the bartender emptied the liquor back into the bar rel and handed back the jug After going down the road some distance the tramps smashed the jug and squeezed several good drinks of whiskey out of two big sponges in the jug.

THE GIFT OF SALVATION.
4 striI<inGIy-Fine sermon Preached
by Rev. Horace Lacy.

Rev. Horace Lacy. of Alabama. who
is filling for the present the pulpit Of the
Second Presbyterian church. preached
Sunday morning a sermon. Of which 1t
can be said he fed his congregation with
the true milk of the Gospel. His text
was: Look unto Me. and be We saved,
all the ends OF the earth. for / am God,
and there is none else."-lsaiah. 45th
chapter. verse p. The subject OF Mr..
Lacy's discourse was the simple. yet rich
and effectuaI plan OF salvation. lie
dwelt on the costliness Of the gift, the
broadness Of the gift, and its power.
The speaker. in considering the cost
of the gift. babe his hearers go with him
10 Gethsemane. with uncovered feet.
as those who stood on holy ground, and
contemplate the anguish OF the God
man. who by His sufferings there and on
the Cross purchased the salvation lie
so freely offers to all. Not only by His
sacrifice OF Himself did lie rescue us from
the penalty of the law, but from the
power Of sin. What a mighty salvation
10 have such power. able TO redeem the
soul from innate sin and depravity. In
considering the bToadness OF the gift. Mr..
Lacy expressed IL as his belief that the
ENDS Of the earth" applied to the lowest
condition into which a human being could
fan. To murderers. harlots, fOrnicators,
and those as far off as the lends OF the
earth" came the message. Look unto me
and be We saved" This salvation. so free
ly offered, had power 10 save the vilest
sinner. II he would only obey the com
mand and look" But. said the speaker,
there be some who will say: II am not
among the class you mention. go regu-
larly to the house of God, but have re-
jected and despised all offers Of salvation,
until my heart seems too hardened TO be-
lieve. the voice of conscience almost
hushed" To such as these comes the
loving, pleading invitation. Look unto
Ne"
There be yet another class OF men
who will offer as an excuse, If they gave
themselves 10 Christ to-day, tomorrow
they should fan again In the clutches
OF sin. These timid. distrusting souls are
also hidden 90 look and trust. Though
they cannot see Christ. lie is nigh them,
and has the power TO make them stead
fast and believing. To all hungry souls
the Master has said Il am the bread Of
life" To the thirsty ones comes the
loving promise: "Whosoever drinketh Of
the water that | shall give him shall
never thirst" and 10 those burdened
with a sense OF sin. the assurance Behold
the Lamb Of God. which taketh away the
sin Of the world Said Mr.. Lacy: One
trouble in convincing men Of their saliva
ton lies i'm the simplicity OF the condi-
tlons. Like Naaman Of old, If they were
hidden to do some great thing. but, when
told only to look unto Christ, they
neither hearken or obey With an earnest
prayer that God would not permit the
message to return unto Him void. but
bless II by the power Of His spirit. Mr..

COmpanys
Franchise.
Asked-FOr

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
An unwise and unnecessary warfare is
being waged by the Union and Traction
railway companies. Each corporation is
trying to throttle the other and the people
are made TO suffer Franchises have been
granted and others are threatened in
which the rights of the people are ignored
So patent Is this fact that It may well be
asked. Have the people any rights that a
corporation need respect? Is any or
every street Of the city to be given away
by the Council to any corporation for the
mere asking? Does the fact that the pub
lie accommodation does not demand addi-
tonal street-car facilities count for no.
thing? Is II not apparent TO the most
casual observer that this city is per-
meated by car lines equal TO the transpor-
tation of a population greatly I'm excess OF
what the city now boasts, and that prac-
tlcally the entife resident population is
already reached? Why, then. mar the
beauty of other streets and needlessly
grant franchises destructive to personal
rights in property. destructive to the
peace and quiet Of home life. and destruc-
tive TO the city's revenue by the lessen
ing of its taxreceipts2
The Traction Company asks the Council
for a franchise over First and Cary
streets to Hollywood. nominally because
their charter requires their cars 10 go
there. Is there any other avenue Of APP
proach TO Hollywood for them? Let us
see The Union line has offered to cleo
trify Laurel street b. a duplicate of the
Traction Company's Broad-street line
from Broad street to Hollywood. to do
this under the superintendency of the
City Engineer. and 10 permit the use OF
that street by both companies on terms
TO be dictated by the Street Committee.
They make this concession unconditional
ly exacting no reciprocal privileges from
the Traction Company. Thus can the
people from all parts OF the city traversed
by either line be delivered at Hollywood
without detriment to either line and with
out further sacrifice OF the streets
But Mr.. Williams, the president OF the
Traction Company. assigns as a reason
for not effecting this traffic arrangement
that they don't want to have any bust
ness arrangement with the Union Com
pany." Don't want 10" do what is done
all over this land for the accommodation
OF the travelling public and for the con-
venience or the cooperating roads, but
does want to have his public declaration
OF a childish don't want to- recognized
by the Council as sufficient reason for
granting a franchise on First and Cary
streets hurtful to every interest OF the
residents on those streets and not helpful
to or needed by the people.
