FIR T MErnonIsr CHURCH.

At the First Methodist church yesterday Rev. Dr. Mckay, of the First Presbyterian church, Fort Smith, preached in the morning, and Rev. Dr. Miller, of the First Presbyterian church, Little Rock, preached in the evening. oth sermons were strong and helpful, and were much appreciated by the large audiences that heard them
 Dr. Miller preached on Sabbath observance. He said that the Ten Commandments are stiIl the funda mental law of the moral govern meat of Godi that these command ments are tot arbitrary statutes, and no man can violate any one of them without thereby entering or the path of Killing out his own na ture, for the commandments are tue to the best interests of his na ture. He held that there are two institutions that have come down to us from Eden, the Sabbath and the home; both of these lie at the foun- dation of all the good that is in the world, of all the institutions that are prized among men. Without Sabbath you cannot have q home, you cannot have church. and wheo these two are gone, no mans busi ness in thls town would be worth ten cents on tte dollar and real es- tate would not be worth the having. The doctor also made a plea for a Sabbath for the mer who labor, railroad men, Lewspaper men, men in the postal service. He read the deliverances of a number of railroad presidents to the effect that there is DO necessity for freight transpor- tation on Sunday. He arraigned church members who patronize rail
 roads on the Sabbath, who go after their mail on Sunday, and who read Sunday daily papers. The Rev. Mir. Anderson, pastor of the church, who was sitting behind the doctor, responded to these sentiments with an old fashion Methodist amen.

RIVERSIDE CHURCH.

Rev. ]. F. Carr, of the Riverside church, addressed a large congrega- ton Sunday. His theme vas from Matt. r and 30, But now com mandeth all men everywhere to re- pent. He said ln part:
 'In the estigation Of Paul's teachings as IS brought Out in his preaching at Athens, it is taught that man is never satisfied without God, and that man is naturally a religious animal, and will worship something. The only way for man so get back to God is through re. pentance. Repentance is one of the strong doctrines of the Bible. Men often tremble in the storm and think of and resolve on a better life. Repentance is not breaking off from some one sin. ond leaving the others rem aining, but leaving and break of from all sin"

ALO J. B. DICKINSON
An Interview With the Little Rock
 Alderman on Public Questions.

Mr. ]. B. Dickinson of the firm of Plunkett farrell Grocery Co. Of Little Rock, and one of it's "City Dads, was visitor to our city Friday, enroute to spend a few weeks with his parents at Sumner wills.
 While in coyersatlon with Mr.. Dickinson Friday evening, regard ing the progress being made by Litt,e Rock relative to their public buildings, parks, the state house and the doings of the city council, we learned the following:
 The city couLciIn said Mir. Dick inson, is having a great deal o' tsouble with the street car people We raised their franchise from $500 to $1100 because of their fail ure to pay the stipulated price as agreed by con tract. We are -ssriv ing with all our might, nsing the best means and methods possible, and just, to purchase a city electric aght plant for the consumers.
 But, we asked, do you mean to do this by the improvement district method?"
 No, indeed, said Mir. Dickinson. ''It is our intention to have the consumers, those uslpg light, to pledge themselves to support the movement, aud by such means they will receive the benefits acruing therefrom, and in time own the lighting plant. We do not, nor do we intend to, ask people who do rot use the lights to obligate themselves in any way for the payment thereof. You see, ? sai MT. Dickinson, "Oy this means, only those sharing the benefits will have to bear the bur- den.
 "The present corporation and company" said he, "are charging exhorbltant rates, both for the power ard lights, and we must do away with it.
 "We have" he continued, ger. fected a plan by which we hope to give the people electric lights aud electric powe" equal to. if not bet ter, than that they now enjoy, at less prices. The cost of production to the city of the plant will be about

THE DIGNITY OF WOMAN. ?


 Rev. ". D. Buckner, B. D., of the Episcopalian church delivered a very fine address, His theme was Dignity of Women" He said in part:
 That woman received her digui. ty from the son of God, who said, Whoever doeth the will of God, is my mother and my sister The object lesson was drawn from the character of Dorcss, whose sweet and beautiful life is so vividlv set forth in the Acts Of the Apostles. Woman's influence was dwelt upon foreibly by Rev. Buekner showing as an example the life of Cleopatra, and her influence over Mark Antony and that of Simpsons betrayal by Deliliah. Again how Aha5 was tricked by Jezabel showing the influence of woman over man. His concluding picture was tribute to woman raid by J. c HoIaed in his famous poem Katrina He show ed from the time of Eve that women had principally made tie history of the world; the men did the deeds;

ST. JosEpH CATHOLIC onURcn.

Rev. J. N. Lucy, the pastor, used as subject Purity of Thought, . and in substance said:
 Once impurity has entered the soul, it's expulsion seems to be in- possible without reducing in twain the very heart of man. For this reason the battle must be fought al the door of the soul. The interior. the mlnd, the heart, must be so guarded that an impure thought cannot enter. To guard the mind tt is necessary 10 uard the avenues that lead to the nind- which are inc senses, especially the eye aud ear. It is asked whether novel reading is sinful and tue answer is that much depends on the cbarac- ter of the person and of the book. What is one persons meat IS anoth er persons poison. h general way it may be said that such au- thors as Scott, Dickens, Cooper and Irving are not improper for the minds of tbe young, while the cheaper and more sensational dime novels are almost invariably DOT sonous. When reading is done for worty object, such as relaxation by business man or the enrich ment of the powers Of imagination by the student, it is rare for the miad to become corrupted. On the other Land, reading in Idle momen ts to kill time and humor the devil rarely fails to lead to evil.
 Another fruitful source of impure thoughts comes through the ears, from vulgar and immodest .conver- sation. It is utterly inexpiica ble how it is that when body of men are thrown together for two or three days at a time, what 8 cess pool of impurlty is brought forth. It is astonishing that more atten ton is not given to tbe horrible na- ture of vulgar conversation, espe ciaIIy when men are alone with men. Ia olden Catholic countries, the eruci6x, statue of the Virgin Mary and otLer sacred symbols are placed in the workshop as well as the school room, to exercise a restrain ing influence.
 When the mind is attacked by an impure thought, sometimes diver sion of the mind to another subject is sufficient to drive it away, some, tunes a short prayer or novena is necessary. But the great remedy for such troubles is confession and communion By confession per son becomes conscious of his sinful condition, makes the necessary act of contrition, forms the resolution Of amendment and then throws the load of sin that was bearing hlm to the bottom of the sea of perdition at the feet of the Savior represented by the priest of the church and ses a free man to go forth and sin 90 more. Then h:s soul receives the bread of life, holy communion, the body and blood of Christ, which nourishes his spiritual life ard de- stroys the inclination to sin.

VERDICT AGAINST DON.
Fear in the South That the Precedent
Will Prove Unfortunate.

Columbia, S c., Oct 16.-Some of the
newspapers in South Carolina consider
that the suing of Don Cameron by Da-
vid Schein, and the finding of $3.50 dam
ages against him by a Beaufort Jury. is
an unfortunate precedent and marks
the coming of a new and vulgar era in
South Carolina, where it will be general
ly considered that the stigma of a bug
gy law can be removed by the appli-
cation of money salve Suits for
damages for personal violence have
heretofore been unknown, and among
the better sort Of persons it was, and
sui is, considered a decided sacrifice
to personal dignity and the notions of
the newer and unchivalric times to ap-
peal to the law to punish one who has
committed a violent personal assault.
ANA .When these prosecutions have been
made, even by those in the lower social
strata, they We're always on the Grim
inal side of the court.
The Palmetto Post of Port ROYAL saws
IN reference to this Natter
we very much fear that the result of
the damage suit in the court of COM
mon pleas in which Don Cameron bug-
gy whipped David Schein in a fence
corner, and in which the latter had 70
break through the fence to ESCAPE the
sting of the lash, will ultimately re-
suit in much that is disagreeable and
MUCOUS. We do not criticize the court
or the attorneys; their duty was plain
me point we desire to impress is that
mad cameron been a poor man If is
likely Schein would have had him ms
on the criminal side Of the court, ard
mad him fined or chain ganged for bia
violation of the state law. 1t is Iilsaiv
