promptly gave bond for their ap-

gentlemen, being members Of the
executive committee of the Fair As

defendants in the case.

People can get all they want tC

People have a right to marry j

The saloon is to personal liberty

The First Prayer in Congress.

Mr.. John X. Troutman hands
the COURIER the following clipping,
as an interesting historical item.
What | have here is copy of the
first prayer ever delivered in con-
gress' found it in an issue Of
Thatcher's Military Journal bearing
date of l777, and it is credited to
Rev. Jacob Duche, rector of Christ
church of Philadelphia, Penn. who
subsequently proved traitorous to
the noble cause Of independence.
The prayer is as follows.
'Oh, Lord, our Heavenly Faith
er, high and mighty King of Kings
and Lord of Hosts, who dost from
thy throne behold all the dwellers
on earth and reignest with power
supreme and uncontrolled over all
the kingdoms, empires and govern
ments, look down in mercy, we be-
seech Thee, on these American
states, who have fled to Thee from
the rod OF the oppressors, and
thrown themselves on thy gracious
protection, desiring to henceforth
be dependent only on Thee; to
Thee they have appealed for the
righteousness of their cause; tc
Thee do they now look up for that
countenance and support which
Thou alone canst give; take them
therefore, heavenly Father, under
Thy nurturing care; give them wis
dom in council and valor in the
field; defeat the malicious designs
of our cruel adversaries; convince
them of the unrighteous of thei
cause; and, if they still persist IL
their sanguinary purposes, oh, lie
the voice of Thine unerring justice
sounding in their hearts, constraiI
them TO drop the weapons of wa
'Ifrom their unnerved hands in tn
day of battle. Be Thou present
Ioh, God of Wisdom, and direct tn
counsels Of this honorable assembly
/, enable them to settle things on tn
best and surest foundation, that tn
scene of blood may be speedil
closed; that order, harmony an,
peace may be effectually restored
and truth and justice, religion an
piety, prevail and flourish anon
Thy people. Preserve the he
: of their minds; shower down o
them and the millions they her
represent such temporal blessings
Thou seest expedient forthem inthi

lasting glory in the world to come
; All this we ask in the name an
through the merits of Jesus Chris,
Thy Son, our Savior. Amen. y

two prominent politicians, r. II.
Wiletts, member of the democratic
state committee, (not silver man,
by the way) and of John II. Wealth
ers, recent republican elector, is re-
sponsibe for the ruin of business
men, the loss of public funds, the
closing Of the schools and the num-
berless other hardships incident to
such calamity. Both men, how
ever, are "prominent, "well-con-
nected" "meant no harm" "would
have paid out if given time" etc,
etc, and will consequently go SEQ,
free or be given only few years in
the penitentiary, only to be par.
doned out by a sycophantic, pluto
cracy-s serving administration and re-
turned to respectable society, while
less-ambitious thieves who stea
merely to live, are railroaded righ
through the courts, given long telm'
of Imprisonment, and branded al
felons for all the rest Of their lives
Yet some people wonder at thu
growing contempt for the law, anc
the "prevalent unreasonable an'
the Jealous animosity felt by tn
, poor toward the rich" as a recen
writer in the Forum described it.

William Jennings Bryan on

William Jennings Bryan once
said:
"The weekly newspapers pillow
the ground, SOW the seed and culti-
vate the crop, and too often are
forced to step aside, while those
who neither plant nor cultivate reap
the ripened grain. The cause which
you advocate, the candidates you
support and the party you love, will
be immeasurably strengthened il
each of you in return will step into
the office Of your local newspaper,
that is patiently and uncomplain-
ingly keeping alive the spark OF
democracy, and pay your subscrip-
tion year ahead"

no pain. To the objection that
cats tortured mice, he answered
that only cats overfed would do this.

Grant Allen has, the butcher BIRDS
custom of impaling its prey or
thorns and leaving the captive tc
perish miserably. Certainly Ma.

That ingenious gentleman, Prince
Philippe Robert Due d'Orleans, Bour-
bon pretender to the throne Of France,
has lately discovered another way to
have his name brought to the attention
of the French people with peculiar and
suggestive Significance. When his en-
gagement to Archduchess Marie Doro-
thee of Austria, which terminated on
Thursday In the Vienna wedding was
first announced, the women Of the no
blesse along the Faubourg Saint Ger
main, Paris. started a subscription to
raise fund which should purchase a
fitting wedding gift for the wife OF the
head OF the Bourbon-Or family
More than 100000 francs were collected
and an order was lodged with NJ. Chau-
met. the well-known jcweler of the Rue
Richelieu, for a dladem of diamonds.
II was the intention of those Interested
to expose the dladem In the shop-wln-
dow of the Rue Rlchelieu jeweler, but
as II was finished only the day before
the wedding It had to be sent at once to
Vienna. The dadem. however, like
any racing cup or prize-hghter's belt,
win be returned to the Rue Rlchelieu,
where Parisians may feast their eyes
upon II as they read the accompanying
card: "a Gift from the Women Of
France" etc. The design of the dia.
dem Is that of the ancient Bourbon
crown of France.
