A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT.

We are told by sacred writ, and that,
too from the lips of the Savior, that
if we are not like little children we can
never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Recently. an evidence of what little
child is in that respect has been fur
nished by an illustration published hy
the Waco Tribune. The death of J. w.
Harris and the circumstances of his
killing by Col. Gerald are well known
to our readers. 1t will also inc remem-
bered that Col. Gerald was thought at
first to be mortally wounded. The fol-
lowing is Il prayer made by daughter
of one of the victims of the tragedy
and made by the body of her dead father
with the environments of the deepest
grief, where one would suppose the Ian
guagc of revenge would he more natural.
This little child knelt by her fathers
coffin and offered up the following
prayer:
God, our Father, Thou hast taken
our dear papa home to Thee. Oh, keep
and care for dear mama and all eff us
and some day let us meet md know
N. ma again. And, our Father have
mercy on the man who killed my papa,
for he has those who loved him and
are praying for his life. Dear God, hear
them. grant their prayers and spare his
life for Them
This little child may we'll pray For
give us our trespasses as we forgive
those who trespass against us" She
has given testimony to the highest
Christian virtue-a virtue that could
be born alone of Christian training--tha
OF forgiving one who has wrought her
the greatest earthly injury, But there
is another side to this heroic self I'M
notation that appeals to all who trust
in Christ. How many grown up Chris
tians are possessed of such entire resig-
nation and self-denial of the natural

No Definite News Mt Washington.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Mr. Leger, the
minister of Havti to the United States,
when asked today concerning the Frank
fort Xeitung's statement that Hayti had
agreed TO pay the indemnity asked in the
case of Lueders, said that he had re-
ceived no advices of any change in the
position taken by his government, name
ly, that it stood ready to pay cheerfully
any proper indemnity that was properly
colectable.
The minister said he had received no
advices from Hayti since last Friday,
when the reported approach of two Ger
man naval cadets school ships caused
rumors that they were men of war com
ing to blockade the island. 1t was pre-
dcted then by the minister that great ex.
element would follow the approach of
the German vessels, but he has no rea-
son to fear that the stability of the gov
eminent is endangered
Advices to the state department indi-
cate that the situation in Port au Prince
and Hayti generally is one of great COM
motion, but there is no reference to any
threats against the government.

The board of health of the city of
New Orleans has become so unpopular
that it is to be arraigned before Il
commission of the representatives of
the several commercial exchanges of
that city for investigation. 1t is
charged that the board of health of
New Orleans was derelict in duty in not
ascertaining that the yellow fever pre-
vailed all summer at Ocean City and
other cities in daily communica ton with
New Orleans and only ascertainel this
fact and began taking precautionary
measures in September. 1t Is charged
with letting into the city thousands of
families that had been summering in
infected places along the sound and
them after letting the fever in, publish
ing the fact and locking up commerce.
And again, it is charged that the
methods adopted to hold in check and
crush out the disease were neither
scientific nor wise. This committee will
make report to the governor and be
summoned before him to make it's de-
Tense. 1t is to be hoped that these in
vestigations will lead to the exploitation
and adoption of some plan by which
yellow fever will be permanently barred
out of the great commercial city of the
south,

Mr. Blake will hereafter ne much
more popular with gubernatorial as
pirants. He has taken himself out of
their way in the present canvass for
the nomination by the democratic party
for governor of Texas. That is the
kind of popularity that few others
for that nomination should seek if they
desire to avoid the humiliation of de
feat. Joe Sayers is on the track and
the colts had better get out of the way
if they do not want to be run over. Joe
Sayers has been in training for the four.
mile heat too long for the younger brood
to train up to his gaits. The old horse
is still sound in wind and muscle and

Tarrant county, Texas, with convict
labor has built $50 miles of graded and
sanded roads in that county in the last
year at cost of $1,000 mile. If con-
victs are to be used outside of the peni-
tertiary, county road building brings
prison labor into competition with free
labor less than any other methods of en-
ployment, and it becomes a vast benefit
