After Their Guilt Is Proven.
There's one thing can't under
stand" said a man of the world. ".rhat
Is the iercenesss of church fghtS and
the ability of every aman Avhoh'is q
preacher to rally to his support scores
OF good people, no matter what his con-
duct may have been. Once man gets
attached to a church, though he may
get into trouble the next week and
the nature of his trouble may tend to
discredit religions he' HAS the support,
OF these good people. / recall three
cases right now. ''-,A.,''> 80,
"a minister was called to a church
and he had hardly more than accepted
the charge when his wife sued him for
divorce: She charged cruelty and all
that. The members of the congrega-
ton knew absolutely nothing aboutthe
merits of the case. He was u stranger
to them, but they rallied around him.
pitied him, sent flowers to him, and,
fgurativeiy speaking, cursed and reviled
the woman whom he had promised to
love, cherish and protect, though it was
proved he hadn't done anything of the
lnnd. The papers printed columns of
the stuff, and every line of it was dnm-
age to the causefof religion and par
ticular damage to the church. But
these good people stood by him and are
standing by him yet. If the wife gets
divorce they will continue to stand by
him. and will condemn the woman.
|. Another recent case that has figured
in the newspapers is of man who has
clearly outlived his usefulness in. the
church. The church is in debt Not
enough money is raised to pay running
expenses. The organization has run
down. 1t has been getting worse ever
since this man took hold. The fact is
notorious, yet enough people cling to
him to keep him in the church and make
it mighty unpleasant for anybody who
says word against him.
50 third case that has also figured
largely in the papers is that of a man
whose character is well known and who
has bamboozled everybody who ever
had any financial transactions with him.
Yet he is able to hang on, and is sur
| rounded in all his troubles. by crowd
of women and men who call him dear
| and pity him and denounce' the men
who are trying to have him deposcd as
gang of prosecutors. These three
cases simply come to my mind now. If
1 sat down and thought could recall
bookful. Now, unquestionably, this
is all wrong. 1t isn't business, and it
| hurts religion. It keeps men in the
ministry who are wholly unfit to be
there and are continually bringing dis
| credit upon the church. The most pc
culiar thing about it an is that in almost
every row there will be found on the
side of the pastor some business Tuen
who would no more think of running
their business in the way the church is
run than they would think of flying.
II anybody suggested their keeping a
malcontent they would say that the
man who suggested it must think they
were orazy."4-N. Y. Sum- 4, ss i..gr,2s tacl

@As early as 1868, when money was
to be earned by everyone who was
able and willing to work, athletic ex-
ercises took a vigorous start. After
the organization of Fife Engine No.
1, in 1867. on A street, a gymnasium
was opened next door, which was at
tended by quite number Of young
men, mostly from California. There
was Considerable excitement just
about this time concerning rich ore
being found III the Reese River
district. 4 good '~many Virginia
people went out ana located Clifton,
and later on Austin. Among the
most prominent were Dave Buei, Ike
Bateman, Wm. Brown, Bill Gibson,
Johnny Grimes, Jack McDougan anu
many others whose names 1 can't re-

next tight was between Pat Bradley
ana Patsy Foy, down Six diie

Bradley. Then came my match with
Big Pat Daley. which took place at
American Flat, a short distance FROM
Virginia, and was the first amphi-

A Cure for Cancer.

Here is an item that ought to be OF
interest to every one, especially the
physicians: The basis Of the new
cancer cure OF the Russian scientist,
DIR. Gospodeen Denisenko, is wsllow-
wort, known to botanists as cheli-
donium majus. Its saffron-colored
juice has long been used by peasants
to rid themselves Of warts, and II was
this practice that gave Denisenko
hint OF his discovery. The Juice can
be taken internally with good results,
but for this purpose it must be
specially prepared, as in its natural
state il contains two poisons."

.G. Kaller of Manksto, Minn., has
applied for patent for an invention
which he says will take the place Of
steam engines and electric motors.
The device is called hydraulic motor,
and the principle upon which it works
Is the natural one which causes
lighter substances than water to rise
to the surface. An endless chain Of
small air-tight tanks Is placed over
two sprocket wheels in such q manner
that on one side 1t will pass upward
through q large tank Of water. As
each air tank enters the water tank
from below through q water tight
valve It will be forced to the surface
by the superior weight Of the water,
and in this way the chain will be kept
in perpetual motion, revolving the
sprocket wheels to which shafts are
attached.
Thus, IL the claims OF the inventor
are true. the motor will run on in
definitely, without fuel. He claims
that the first cost will be less than
that OF q steam engine, while the
operating expenses will be so small
that all other motive powers will be
driven out OF use. Hydraulic motors
to furnish any horsepower required
can be constructed.

never come back. Every fishery port

children. II was from this band OF
men that Farragut's. feet was enlisted
during the war. 1t has always been
the nursery OF American seaman. and
the boys there are brought up under q
sense OF duty which does not count
danger at all, with the result that they
do msenifcently heroic things every
day just as q matter Of course. The
item is ss follows:
