A ROYAL CORNER.


Noe the Sacred. ~ Lonely. Precinct wss
Invaded by an American.
Al American attending wedding re-
ception in a great house in London con-
graduated bride and bridegroom and
passed the usual compliments with the
host and hostess.
There was = great throng Of guests,
and he could not linger ut the entrance
Of the drawing room when there were
many behind him anxious to offer their
greetings.
Perceiving q quiet corner to the right
Of the bride where q gentleman and .
lady were standing apart from the other
guests he went directly to ii, unwit-
tingly coming to = stop between two
royal personagea
The American was not aware OF the
fact that he was face TO face with one OF
the queens daughters and had turned
his back upon another member OF the
royal family. He stood quietly looking
about, hoping to see some acquaintance
in the company with whom he might
have chat, and soon became uncom-
fortably conscious that he was attracting
attention and that the hostess and bride
were casting uneasy Chances in the d.
rection of the corner " here he had taken
shelter. While the drawing room was
crowded. the company Of guests with
one consent avoided the secluded corner
where he and his two royal companions
were stationed.
An acquaintance in the background
perceived his mistake. and coming with
in hailing distance motioned to him.
He left his two companions in exclusive
occupation Of the corner. turning his
back upon both as he edged his way
through the throDg. while everybody
stared at him. When he reached the
spot where his acquaintance was wait
ing for him. the stage whisper was
breathed into his ear:
''You have been poaching on royal
preserves. You are . privileged charac-
ter because you are An American, but
no Englishman ventures to turn his back
upon prince or . princess People were
staring you out Of countenance because
they took it for granted that you must
be royal parsonage. yet they were IN
able to identify you"
The answer might have been made
that every American is q sovereign by
the divine right Of equality Of free cit
izenship. but this would have been o
meaningless pleasantly in an English
drawing room, where social etiquette
has q sanctity superior to loyalty to
democratic principle.
The American thanked HE friend for
rescuing him from an embarrassing po-
sition. and then stood by and watched
the corner where royalty was isolated
from too close contact with the world
. of wealth and fashion.
No guest approached the royal pair.
Their presence was All act OF condescen.
!, sion to the host and hostess, and they
remained ON exhibition as the patrons
,, of this social function without having
their corner invaded. Everybody wa'
careful not to approach them too close
", and there was general sense Of re
lief when they departed and the neces
!, sity for backing away from them on sid
Z tracks was removed. -Youth's Compan

G. A. r. ACTIVITY.
Adjutant General Niles Says the Buff
falo Encampment is to Be Big

At no time in the history of the Grand
Army of the Republic has there been
such an early rush to secure accomoda-
tions for a national encampment as
there is now going on with reference to
the gathering at Buffalo, N. Y, sched
uied for September 1t is believed, as
indicated by letters which have been
received at the Kansas department
HEADQUARTERS and from personal Obser-
vations made by Assistant Adjutant
General J. Y. Niles on visit to Buff
falO that the coming encampment will
be the largest ever held by the organi-
zation.
Information indicating that desirable
Accommodations would soon be exhausted
came to the Kansas department officials
and it was decided that Assistant Ad
jutant General Niles should go to Buff
falo and select headquarters for the
Kansas department. He has just re-
turned from that mission and expresses
belief that the annual encampment for
1897 will be the largest ever held by the
national department
The selections made by Mr. Niles will
be submitted to the Kansas department
encamprnent at Chanute next month for
acceptance or rejection. Accompanied
by the report which he will make show
ing that the trip was necessary, there
will be no doubt that the encampment
will accept his judgment. Mr.. Niles
said today.
Not only will the national encamp-
ment be the largest ever held but it is
my candid opinion that Kansas will ex-
eel all previous records in the number
comprising the delegations which will
avail themselves of a coveted oppor-
tunity to visit their old homes and this
one fact alone in my opinion will take
almost hundreds of Kansans to that
encampment'
The honor of representing the state
as department commander is one of the
most important in the G. A. r., and
there are six good men seeking ii. They
are, Ed. B. Jones, senior vice comman-
a If 7 N0T1 Of ENTid TleH

ADAM AND EVE MYTH.
Rev. DR.. M. J. Savage Picks Flaws in
the Old Testament.

New York, March 17.-Interest con-
tinues unabated and much discussion is
being caused by the sermon of Rev. DR..
MinOt J. Savage, in Robert COllyerS
church of the Messiah, attacking the
story of Adam and Eve, declaring it to
be a myth taken from pagan sources
and untrue.
In looking for a foundation of the
story of Adam and Eve, Rev. Mr.. Saw
age said that in the book of prophets in
the old testament there was no refer
ence to the fall of man through Adam.
The Hebrew writer's did not either speak
of the golden age in the beginning. The
tradition of Adam and Eve was not
heard of by the Hebrews until they
came in contact with the BabylOnianS,
after the time of Moses. The Hebrews
then acquired the tradition and put
aside their own belief.
The preacher continued:
THE ancient tradition of man fixes
the beginning of the human race as
about 400 years before the birth of Je-
sus. We of today know that thistles
and plants and rocks have existed in
this world for millions of years, and
that the world is million of years old.
We cannot accept as true the ancient
traditions of Adam and Eve. We can
not believe that on the conduct of Ad-
am and Eve, two inexperienced and ig-
norant people, the destiny of you and
me and countless millions of people de-
pended.
1T is absurd 1t is grotesquely hid
eous to entertain such a belief. There
does not exist on the face of the earth
the slightest reason to believe in the
truth of the tradition, which was a
myth of pagan people, and was from
them engrafted upon Hebrews.
Jesus never referred to this tradi-
ton. Does it not seem strange that He
did not, even in the slightest way, have
referred to it if it were worthy of be-
lief?
God explained to the modern world
through his messengers, science, the
history of the world. Science has taught
US that we have been developed from
lower type of life. and that we are
in another sphere. The ancient belief
that man was created to be transported
to heaven bodily and without death,
were it not for the fall of Adam, can
not be believed in. God did not create
the world intending to leave death out
of the life of man. The pagan myth of
Adam and Eve is utterly untrue

FERVOR DYING OUT.
The Local Allied Silver Forces Have
Given Up Their Headquarters

The Allied Silver Forces who start
ed out to maintain headquarters in Top
eka have given up the fight and the
rooms in the old court house which were
rented a month ago have been deserted
and the silver forces are now without a
home.
The silver people started out last win
ter by renting a large store room in the
Keith block The room was partitiOned
and the back part was used for meet
ings while the front part was used as
a lounging and reading room. Things
went we'll for awhile but the managers
soon found that it required quite a sum
of money to keep up such rooms and
they were compelled to seek more mod
est quarters. The rooms in the old
court house were then rented but even
there the interest could not be kept up
and it was abandoned this week. D. G.
Tillotson says that he has not given up
the idea of having headquarters and
that an effort will be made to re-estab-
liSh headquarters somewhere in the

Inc Dill was entitled:

The bill has passed a second reading

ROUSED FROM SLEEP.
The Temperance Sentiment Has at
Last Been Awakened, Says Secre-
tary Stephens.


Secretary Stephens of the State Tenn
perance union, has returned to this city
after trip of several days through the
southwestern part of the state. In
speaking of his trip today, Mr.. Steph-
ems said:
THE resubmission sentiment develop
ed in the legislature SENS to have been
a revelation to some of our people. and
is having the very desirable effect of
arousing them somewhat from their
feeling of false security. The fact is,
the people in many localities are be-
coming alarmed at what would appear
to have been a decline in temperance
sentiment and respect for the law, and
are ready to take hold and help bet
ter the condition of affairs. This feel
ing is daily increasing, and will surely
manifest itself before long in a spon-
taneous upheaval throughout the entire
state.
"A year ago it was almost impossible
to make any arrangements for meetings
Even the ministers seemed too much
taken up with other matters to give
temperance much attention. All this is
changing. In some places where we
cannot supply the demand for speakers,
the people are taking the matter into
their own hands and are holding meet
ings of their own. The time is every
day drawing nearer when one great
temperance upheaval will sweep the
entire state. 1t is coming as sure as
the fact that the sun shines; the people
everywhere say it is coming, and when
the people talk as they are beginning to
talk now you may be sure that some
thing is going to happen.

MADE SILVER SPEECHES.
Professor Emerson, of Cornell, Loses
His Position.

Ithaca, March 17.-At the meeting of
the board of trustees of Cornell univer-
sity yesterday afternoon the chair in
classical archaeology was abolished.
This action was not announced with
the other changes in the faculty, but
leaked out today. The daperatment
has been in charge of Prof. Alfred En-
erson, who is considered to be one of
the brightest of students and teachers
in this branch of research. The reason
assigned for the adjustment of the de-
partment is the fact that but few stu
dents took advantage of the facilities
for study in this branch.
During the last presidential campaign
Prof. Emerson jumped into political
prominence by his espousal of the
cause of free silver. He worked en-
Enthusiastically for the white metal max
ing a number of speeches, presiding at
various free silver meetings and writ
ing a number of exhaustive articles up
on the subject. His connection with
the campaign was especially noticeable
from the fact that he was the only
member of the Cornell faculty to fight
under the free silver banner.
