Too Much Time Wasted In the Pulpit
In Discussing D0ctrinal Questions.
Atlanta, Go.

Ill Dlscusslhg D0ctrlnal questions
The Rev. Benjamin f. DeCosta,
of New York, thinks that the Pro-
testant church is losing ground in
the fight against wickedness. He
says that too much time is wasted in
discussing doctrine and too little is
given to questions of broad morality
and to the saving of souls. DR.. De-
Costa says
"Instead of putting ono shoulder
to the wheel and fighting against the
awful spread of social vice and
drunkenness and Sabbath breaking
VIC are squabbling among ourselves
and spending our energies on denomi-
national differences. There arc
seventeen scots of Methodists and
thirteen scots of Baptists, aud al
most as many distinct varieties in
each other religious gonus. How is
any union of sentiment or work to
be gotten out of this state of affairs ?
1t is shockingly immoral, I say, to be
squabbling while 50,000,O0O persons
in this land are not even nominal
Christians.
"What would l suggest as a
remedy9 The plan which first ad-
vocated at the Lambeth Conference,
about six years ago, and again at the
last triennial convention, which was
held in Chicago three years ago.
This plan was that all Protestants
should unite on one broad platform,
keeping only as our base four points :
the apostolic priesthood, the two
creeds and the sacrament of baptism
and the Lords Supper. This seems
broad enough for all to unite on and
give a chance for concerted action"
DIR. DeCosta is rieht. The
churches of to-day are wasting their
energies in dootrinal controversies,
giving more attention to the theories
of soul-saving than to the practice
Of saving souls. They are like the
two mon who stood on the river
bank and argued over the best plans
for rescuing drowning person who
persisted before conclusion was
reached. i DeCosta's proposal
to care for morality shows true
conception of Christianity. His
basis is bit narrow, however. Why
stand on the four elements named
Why not leave doctrine out entirely
and teach and live according to the
sermon on the amout ?--Charlcston
Post.

# Capt. Courtenay said that he efonnd
the business depression TO be pretty
general throughout the country. 1t
may be! more accentuated IN tho
South, but the other sections of the
Union were feeling it as well. He
heard complaints in Boston Of the
dizziness Of business, the other sec
,tions Of the Union were in a dis
turhed condition everywhere, to
which fact tho war had doubtless
contributed in part. The financial
condition seemed favorable to the
prosperity of Democracy, Captain
Courtenay said. Ex-Secretary Oh
ney of President Cleveland's oabi-
net, had said to him when ho was in
Boston that the outlook for the party
in 1900 was very good. In New
York VanWyck, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, would beat
Teddy Roosevelt out OF his boots.
Speaking of tho cotton mill indus
try, Capt. Courtenay said that while
the Southern mills might .be doing
better, the New England mills were
not doing near as well.
With regard to tho upper section
of tic State he said that while there
was no boom there was steady pro-
gress felt.

APPROACHING EARTH RAPIDLY AND
wiLl. SUON ArrEAK TO TIE
NAKED EYE.
WAsuINGToN, October 27.-Prof.
Edgar Frisbic, of the Naval Observa-
tory, is engaged iii computing tho
orbit of q new comit. It was first
seen by Prof. w. r. Brooks, of
Geneva, N. Y, Thursday of last
week.
Prof. Frisbie says that he has made
three observations, and tho comet is
wonderfully bright and moving with
great velocity, proving in his opinion,
that it is unusually near the earth.
cit appears to be large, round
bodyj" says Prof. Frisbic, "and has
moved over nine degrees in four
days, going South and increasing its
right ascention continually. 1t was
first seen about ten degrees South
of the principal star OF the constclla-
tion Draco, not far from the second
star of the Great Dippcr. 1t has
moved steadily towards the constella-
tion Of Hercules, and is now passing
through it. The comet is seen to
tho best advantage just after sun
down or just before sunrise, as it is
then closer to the earth. 1t il fully
three degrees in diameter, and par
ticularly interesting on account of
its brightness and the great rapidity
with which it is moving through the
heavens.
"rrom the present outlook of its
course, it will probably be Visible to
the naked eye in few days. The
northern heavens will then be bril-
liantly lighted and the visible move
ment of the comet will present a
startling effect"

The filth of Havana bcggars de-
scription and dclies crcdulity. Col.
Waring, the chief of the sanitary
commission sent to report upon the
sanitary condition of the principal
cities of Cuba, is quoted as saying
that if he were to tell the truth
about the unhealthy condition of
Havana he would not be believed.
Col. Waring estimates that it will
cost 1922, 100000 to rid Havana and
it's habor of these menaccs to health
which arc to-day the. most serious
detriment to tho peaceful invasion
of American capital and enterprise.

Third Victim of the Edgeflcld Lynching

Ahhi" iSphht VI thS
AUGUSTA, GA, October 27.--Old
man Wash McI[ie is dead. His
body was discovered yesterday in
the bushes not far from the scene of
the killing Of his son and son-in-luw
by the mob of Edgefield county citi-
zcns.
McKie's body was literally shot to
pieces, more than twenty bullet
holes being found in it when it was
discovered.
Sheriff Outz, with a. party Of
deputies and citizens, had been
searching for Wash McKie, dead or
alive, since the two negroes were
killed by the mob, but no trace of the
old man was found until yesterday,
when the party returned to the scene
of the killing of tho day previous,
when they discovered the dead body
of the old man almost hidden by
brush and leaves in an isolated place
where the old man had fallen aftcr
being fired upon by the mob of citi-
zens in his desperate effort to escape.
With the finding of the body of
Wash McKic the victims Of the
Edgefield lynchers arc three, and
with their killing the assassination OF
Mrs. j. l.. Atkinson has been
avenged.
There is great excitement near
Republican church in Edgeiield
county, and although there has been
no uprising of the negroes, the whites
arc on their guard and are ready to
protect themselves in case the
negroes attempt to avcnge tho killing
OF Wash McKie, Jim McKie and
Luther Sullivan.
1t will be remembered that tho
three negroes assasssinatcd Mrs
Atkinson because her husband was
appointed postmaster over old mar
Wash McKio, who was an aspirant
for the place.

is entitled to fortv-five credits; sixty
two, practically four years of high
school work, being required to make
him a freshman in the University
In an ideal system of education there is
no break between the secondary school
and the college, but at the present time
the graduates of The Dalles and of most
of the high schools of Oregon, entering
college are compelled to make up much
language work. This deficiency is a
common one in the schools of the state,
and the work in the sciences and in
English classics is weakened by the
loss. Still, if there must be deficiencies
let them come in the secondary school,
rather than in the common school,
where the rank and file of our citizens
are educated.
At the present time the public schools
are under the able management of John
Gavin, assisted by corps of sixteen
teachers Mr. Gavin has been princi-
pal of the school during the last six
years, and their growth under his super
vision bespeaks his success. Much
credit is due, also. to Assistant Principal
j. S. Landers. He is a man of high
ideals. and his work in the classroom is
characterized by its thoroughness in
every detail.
According to the school census of '9S
there are in the school district 1851
from four to twenty years of
age. There are 76O pupils now enrolled
in the schools. The largest attendance
for any one month was reached in Feb
ruary 1898, the reports showing total
enrolment of 799 and an average daily
of 715.
During the last four years the work of
the children of The Dalles has
been aided by private kindergarten
taught for two years by Mrs. Ketchum,
and now by the Misses Taylor. They
receive children at the age of three, and
prepare them for primary work. The
pupils who have entered
the public school have been well pre-

THE NEW WOMAN.
LITTLE RYTHMICAL DISSERTATION BY
THE OLD MAN.

That "Man must work
And woman must Weep,'
Is Il discarded old song,
That's heen long put to sleep.
For the woman of now.
Has done simpering and sighing
And if tears must be shed,
w v, the man does the c'yine.
We find her in law,
Wise. learned, sagacious,
And in politics. sure
Her manners pugnaciOus,
From the pulpit her voice
Urges man to repent:
From the rOstrum she thunders,
And to congress she's sent.
In athletics she's great:
She can fence, she can box:
Chase an aniseed bag
Or the spOor of fox.
And when war is declared
Will she beat a retreat?
Not on your tin type
She'll be there with both feet.
With red fire in her eye,
Hat pin in her hand,
What degenerate Don
Could her onslaught withstand.
The male tyrant's sham
And a myth are all Bowsers
We're wearing her collar
And she's wearing our trousers.
But in our attire
There's one thing she won's use
The dear creature still scOrns
To get into our shoes.
And with mind ever constant
For the rest of her days,
She'll continue to buy them
From the great Pease & Mays.

The Burlington:s New Trains

Railroad men who have had the
privilege of examining the four
new trains which the Burlington
Route. on the 1st of May, placed
in service between Denver and
Chicago say they are as magnif-
Gently equipped as any in the
country that even the famous
limited expresses between Chicago
and New York are net handsomer
or more luxurious. Every car is
wide yestibuled, and was built es-
peciaily for the Burlington Route.
The four trains are identical in
appearance and arrangement
Each is composed of buffet
