The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1898-10-14

An Illinois preacher, who has moth
ing to do with the case, holds the Apos-
tie Paul-who never had anything to
do with irresponsible for what is
known as the theatre hat. The Rev.
William Weber, pastor of the st.
Paul's Free Protestant church at
Bcllville, preached wonderful SER
mon on recent Sunday night, and
one that the town is just beginning to
talk about. lie gives St. Paul as
the responsible person for the hat in
the theatre and elsewhere. Mr.. Web
er bases his belief on the first part
of chapter 1 of the First Epistlc to
the Corinthians. In the passage the
Apostle Paul commands men of the
congregation to have their heads un-
covered, and the women to have
theirs covered when praying or prop
hesying, which the pastor says, means
when attending religious services.
Paul, according to the minister, fol-
lowed this command wherever he
formed congregations, and the pastor
leads up to the theatre by saying that
the theatre OF the ancient Greeks was
a religious institution, and he traces
up the evolution until he connects II
with modern theatre, church aud
other places where woman coDgre
gates and wears her hat.

TEXAS DRUG COMPANY
 BURNED OUT AT DALLAS.

 Hundred Thousand Dollars.

Dallas, Oct 21.-The largest, hottest and most destructive fire that has visit ed this city in many day occurred at noon yesterday when the 3-story structure occupied by the Texas Drug company was burned, together with the entire stock of drugs.

 The building was owned by J. T. Oar gan and insured for $20, 900.

 Ticket.

Wharton, Tex. Oct. 21. Hope Adams, the Independenet candidate for sheriff and leader of the independent movement against the White Mans Union associa- ton, was shot to death in the streets of Wharton yesterday. It is not known who did the shooting and no arrests have been made yet. No one seems to know just how the shooting was brought about.
 Some 20 or 25. shots were fired. They seemed mostly to have come from the court house, but some came from other directions The man fell at The Regis ters office, and near him lay Win chester rifle. The windows of the office were shattered by several bullet holes, and where they entered the woodwork showed that they came from the diree- ton of the court house.
 The physician who examined the body sad there were two wounds on the body, one in the leg and one through the neck.
 There had been some trouble on Che street q short while before thisi but was quelled by Sheriff Rich, and it was thought the matter was settled when the shooting of Adams occurred.
 Hope Adams, the man killed, was the leader and instigator of the independent movement against the White Mans Union and has been very industrious in his efforts to break it up, and this was beginning to cause some friction between the Taeaa.

We have no need, it says, of a

easily stronger than that of any

than we now possess, we might

Time Well Spent.

"a soft ans wer turneth away
wrath )" so gentleness and firm
ness go far toward softening the
turbulent little spirit, and a low
spoken word often has a better
effect, when dealing with child
of passionate temper, than loud,
harsh ones, or cruel blows.
There are many who believe
that the only way to bring a
child into submission is by whip
ping. IF we cannot control our
children by any means other
than brute force, there will be
time when they can not longer
be controlled in that way then
we will find it necessary to adopt
another method, or date the end
of our government from that
time. A child of passionate
temper is usually one of ahec-
tionate disposition. Appeal 20
his affection. Let him feel that
it hurts some one he loves when
he gives way to his tenn per.
All children love stories. l
have always found thai those
connected with the childhood of
our Savior his beautiful life
among the poor and sick ; his
blessing the little children how
he loves them now, and what
he wants them to do tor him
have a wonderful charm for the
little ones, making All impress
sion that is deep and lasting,
and through this influence the
child grows out Of his passion
ate temper into a desire to be
good and true and so the causes
tor punishment are farther and
farther between. It mayrequlre
patience and perseverance to &C
complish this, but It is time well
spent.

How To Do 1t.

According to Press and Printer,
if you want to kill your local
paper, you can help on the work
by letting your subscri ptiol go !;
it's only a dolllr or two, and the
publisher doesn't need it. If he
asks you for the money due him
get mad and order the paper dis
continued. You'll never miss
it; you can borrow your nelgh>
boris copy. When the reporter
calls, pretend to be pressed with
business and make linn feel that
-he is an intruder. Ifthe adver-
ising or job solicitor appears,
give him the marble heart
Never drop in to see the editor
unless you want a free notice or
an obituary published for a be-
loved relative. Never recon
mend the paper to anyone. 1t
its editor has a personal failing
or in6rmity make it your bust
ness to let everybody know it
Don't be afraid to speak out.
Whatever the man may be he
probably knows more than you
do and is too high minded to re-
taliate in kind. Pursue this
course fer a year or two and you
will have a dead newspaper and
dead town in which event you
will find your occupation gone
and will have no further excuse
for living.

THE OLD MAN.
GRAND FATHERS ADVICE.
Never Speak In a Disrespectful
Manner of Your Father.

Ichabod, my boy, methough
| heard you speak of your fathe:
this morning as "the old man.
You are IS years of age. are yor
not? Just so. That is the age
when callow youth has its frs
attack of bighead. You ina
pine at this moment that you
know it all. l observed from
the cut Of your trousers, the
angle of your hat, the flavor OF
your breath, the style of your
toothpick shoes, and the swag
ger of your walk, that you are
stuck on yourself. This is an
error Of youth which your uncle
can overlook ; but it pains him
sorely to hear you speak in
terms of disrespect of one you
should never mention save by
the sacred name of "father." He
may not be up in your style in
the modern art of making fool
of himself, but ten to one he for
gets more IN a week than you
will ever know. He may not
enjoy smoking gutter snipes
chopped fine and inclosed in del
icate tissue paper, but he has
borne a good many hard knocks
for your sake, and is entitled to
all the Difference your shallow
brain can muster. By and by
after you are through knowing
it all and begin to learn some
thing, you will be ashamed to
look in glass and wonder where
the foolkiller kept himself when
you were ripe for the sacrifice.
And when the "old man" grows
tired of the journey and stops TO
rest, and you fold his hands
across his bosom and take a last
look at face that has grown
beautiful in death, you will feel
a sting regret that you ever
spoke OF him in so grossly dis
respectful manner; and when
other sprouts of imbecility use
the language that SO delighted

THE POPULATION OF SPAIN.

| NJ. A. Lane, writing in the
Chicago Times-Herald, gives
some interesting facts concern
ing Spain. For example, he says
it is interesting to know that the
total population of Spain is II,
565,632. Many people, without
looking up the matters, would
say at guest that Spain S
population was 35,ooo,oo or
4o.ooo,ooo. But it is, in reality,
not I8,ooo,ooo Spain has an
area OF 1850 square miles.
The area OF France is only a few
thousand square miles greater,
and yet France has a population
of very nearly 10000, 900. Texas
has an area of 274,35s square
miles. Spain could be laid out
on Texas and Texas would have
.7o,68o square miles left over.
The States of Pennsylvania,
New York, Illinois and Alabama
have more population together
that has Spain. and are inmense~
~ more wealthy. These States
could borrow enough money,
with their whole field of commo-
dities, men and capital behind
the loan, to pay off at one coup
the whole national debt of Spain.
They could raise, pay and main
tain a begger army than Spain
could. Their natural resources
could outlast SPANS ten to one.
Their steam power is infinitely
greater, and as man power can
always be gagged by steam pow
er you can imagine the difference.
These four States could exist if
they sequestered from the rest
of the world. Spain could hardly
live day.
Mr.. Lane says that Of all the
population of Spain only 20 per
cent, can read and write Four
per cent can read only, and oS
per cent, can neither read or
write. OF the whole population
of the United States only 6 per
cent can not read and write
This is the difference from an
educational point of view be-
tween the two countries.
