WHAT WOULD the old time and bet

support theU University oftheirState have
thought of the managers of that insti'
tuition if baseball clubs composed of its
students had been allowed to go all
W. the country, during its sessions,
playing games with other clubs? II
there were more midnight oil and less
baseball at the University, the young
men it turns out would take a more
prominent part than they do in the
leadership of their State and their
country.

THE q. S. Consul at Baracoa, Cuba
has semi q congratulatory telegram to
the Spanish General who has sup
pressed the instruction in the Phillip
pine Islands. Every body who has
any real material interest in the wei
fare of Cuba, native or foreign, is in IA
yor of the maintenance of the legiti
mate government of that island also, be-
cause common sense teaches that
should the negro and scalawag insur-
gents succeed, that fruitful and valu-
able island would soon be under negro
domination and become a waste. Why
intelligent Northern people, unless
they have lent money to the insur
gents and hope to get it back with in
terest, can favor the insurgents, is hard
IN view of the feelings they entertain
for the "rebels" of their own coun
try, though the latter were justified
while the former are not, is hard to tell,
but how Southern men al do so seems,
to disiuterested and unprejudiced peo-
pie of ordinary understanding, to be
even more than passing strange.

THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 1s, ! 81.

A PREACHER OF the Church OF
the Divine Paternity. in his ser
mon in New York last Sunday, sad
the 'doctrine of eternal punishment
is driving the people of this country
into agnosticism." That he didn't
know about what he was talking is
proved by the great increase in the
membership of the Catholic Church,
which upholds the doctrine he de,
nounced. The main things that are
driving the people of this country into
aenosticism are the diversity of its
many different religions, though every
reasonable man must be convinced
there can bs only n that is true, and
the patent h%ypocricy, selishness,
prejudice and ignorance of many oftheir
preachers and most conspicuous pro-
~fessors. The founder of the Christian
Church built it upon the three stones
of faith, hope and charity, of which the
latter was the key, but comparatively
few of His protested followers hold to
any such "out of date" doctrine.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets irflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out ard this tube
restored TO it's normal condition, hearing will
he DESTROYED forever; nine cases out Of ten arc
caused by catsrrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition OF the mucous surfaces.

ONE OF the most gallant and distin
euishedVirginia generals during the war
between the States, who lost as much in
that wal both in blood and fortune as
any body else, who IS known and re-
spected throughout the limits of Vir-
ginia, and who since the war could
have obtained any political preferment
within the gift of his State, if he had
not positively refused to accept any
public office, in private note to the GA
zsrrE, approves and heartily endorses
the example and precept of Alexandria
in respect of the immediate punishment
of negro brutes who outrage white fe-
males. Governor O'Ferrall does not
endorse or approve either. But then,
it must be borne in mind, that all great
men do not think alike.

Stealing or not stealing Is the ques-
ton ? Let some wise head decide what
constitutes stealing. 1t is annoying to
owners of q yard, large or small, TO
have the thoughtless boys ERIK and pull
all growing and blooming flowers, and
this pa,t of the act seems as if no NOR
tai hanu can quell or catch, not even
our fine body of policemen, hut others,
who, if only could don the badge would
prove their ability to do SO. But when
It comes to grown people reaching over
and taking whatever they desire it is
more than civilization, to put it mildly,
can tolerate. Can't something be done
to assist US and encourage the artistic
and those desiring to please the eye by
protecting in all possible way these dep
relations? A SUFFERER.

EASTERN LUTHERAN SYNOD.

EASTERN LUTHERAN SYNOD.
The eastern district synod Of the
Missouri synod of the German Evan
gelical Lutheran Church met in annual
session yesterday at Emmanuel church,
Baltimore. The session was opened
with religious services in the forenoon,
conducted by Rev. 2. Brand, of Pitts.
burg, Pa, the district president, who
preached q sermon.
In the afternoon the first business
meeting was held, when President
Brand read his report showing the
transfers of ministers from the district
and the new ministers received. He
appointed a number of standing COM
mittees, which will report on missionary
work, membership, constitution, the
Slsvin mission and poor congregations
needing synodlcal aid.
A petition was received from the
congregation of a church at Rockville,
Conn.,, asking that the district be divid.
ed, on the ground that at present the
district is too large. The matter was
laid on the table indefinitely. A report
was accepted showing that the Concor-
dia Orphans Home at Pittsburg, Pa,
WAS in a prosperous condition.
The synod is composed of about $50
ministerial and lay delegates and teach
ers. The teachers are from the paro-
ohial schools, and have 70 voting priv
ilege, but they may participate in the
discussions of the meeting. Among
those in attendance were J. M. Eber-
lein and Co.. Oelschlager from Virginia.

At an adjourned meeting of the
stockholders of the Traders Bank in
Lynchburg on Tuesday it was decided
in order to prevent any creditors from

other to make q general deed of assign
ment, and in accordance with this au-
thority the directors have made a deed
of trust, naming as trustees Capt. Chas.

loo long for its occupant-a note
worthy burial took place at Charles
Evans's cemetery yesterday. 1t was
that of Mr.. and Mrs. John Swavely's

inches long. The child died of maras-
mus, though physicians had hoped
from the midget's perfect development
that it would live and grow up. Its
bead was about the size of a baseball.
1t had not increased a quarter of an

IN NEW YORK last Tuesday a baby
died from the effects of vaccination, its
arm having swelled and turned black.
The parents of that child will never
have another one of their children vac
cinated, and will always believe that
me death of the one referred to was
due to the views inserted in its veins,
and, in view of the symptoms, many
others will also do so. But so curious
are many people, that in some places q
compulsory vaccination law is in opera
ton. The fact that thousands of child
rem are v~accinated with impunity is no
proof that vaccination is innoxious.

whose territory the latter compelled
them to invade. have exhibited an ex-
ample of civilized warfare that should
put to blush several of the so-called

the people of Columbia, Atlanta, New

received from the federal armies that &C.
cupied them, with that received by
those of the towns from which the Greek
army fled and the Turks captured,
shows that in respect of altruism and
