REV. JOHN JASPER.


not believe much about it until got
to be ten or eleven years old, for I was
just as bad as any other little niger,
but when I commenced to get big and
commenced to notice ] knew that I was
inspired, and the Word of the Lord
came to me like flash.
"For 60 years have been a minister,
and reckon have brought thousands
of souls from perdition. If haven't it
amt my fault. I have worked hard
enough" a
The text of Jasper's famous sermon
is Exodus, chapter Is, verse 3, ''The
Lord is Man of war. The Lord is His
name" The theories advanced are:
The earth is square and immovable.
The sun rises in the east and moves to-
ward the west and there sets. The
world is fiat.
'.The Bible says the sun stood still" "
he announces dogmatically. us any
body going to say the sun was standing
still before Jasher told it to stand still?
Do you think Jasher would have asked
the privilege to stop the sun if she had
not been moving? This morning when
the sun rose it was over there Cpointing
to the east). How, in the name of God,
could the sun get from that side OF the
house over to this (pointing to the
west) unless it moved.
Nov, Solomon was certainly q
scholar. Do you know he was the man
who said: The sun ariseth and goeth
down and hasteneth back to the place
he moved FROM 1t is nonsense to say
the sun does not move. The man who
says the sun does not move he does not
read the Bible"
He fortifes himself in the same man
ner in his belief that the earth is square
and fat.

The Perfect Hum.n Foot.

A perfectly-formed foot should, ac-
>cording to anatomists, be as long as
the bone in the forearm, which extends
from the elbow to the joint Of the wrist.
This seems to be abnormally long in
"A tall person, but is the measurement
taken by artists. OF course, arms are
sometimes out of proportion, being far
too short for the general height, but it
is rare that an arm is too Gong for the
stature of q person.

Old-Time Banquets.

The most expensive dinner which
can be prepared, not including the wine
list, can scarcely be made to cost more
than $50. The best chefs agree that
this sum will be sufficient to secure the
delicacies of the season, whatever they
may be, prepare them in the most artis-
tic manner and leave fair margin Of
profit. The very expensive dinners
usually include some one dish which
alone serves to double or triple the
price. At dinner recently served in
New York dish of woodcocks' brains
was provided which cost as much as
the rest of the dishes combined. It ia
common, besides, to run up the price
of dinner by providing very costly
menus and favors and by other fantas-
tic devices which cost fabulous sums.
The menus are sometimes engraved on
gold. The most elaborate dinners are
usually eaten in from two to three
hours. In contrast with this, the great
Roman feasts usually ran from sunset
to daylight.-N. Y. World.

to look at-else their mission is lost.

JOHN PAUL JONES.
Zone Of the Greatest Naval Heroes Of the
Worldly

Worldly
asking whether the grave of John Paul
Jones in Paris is known and marked.
He has received q reply from Mr.. Wig
maud saying that, although he has
made earnest and frequent inquiries Of
the city authorities in regard to the
matter, he has been unable to discover
the whereabouts of the grave. One
thing established by his inquiries, how
ever, he says, is that John Paul Jones
was not buried in the cemetery where
the remains of Lafayette lie, as has
been supposed by some people. In an
other quarter it is intimated that owing
to custom prevailing in Paris, the re-
mains Of John Paul Jones were depos-
tied in rented grave for term of
years, and that upon the expiration Of
the lease q great many years ago the
bones Of this distinguished American
patriot were thrown into the potter's
field.
John Paul Jones was one of the great
est of the naval heroes of the world. His
name was really not Jones at all, but
John Paul, and much as Rudyard Kip
ling has abused him, he was really not
an American, but q born Scotsman.
When he was IL years old Paul was ap-
prenticed to a shipmaster engaged in
the. American trade. He was afterward
third mate on SLAYER and master Of q
trader. A bold, brave heart, he could
not restrain himself from participation
in the rebellion against the English
crown, and he secured an appointment
as senior lieutenant in the United
States navy, and was assigned to the
flagship Alfred.
Jones' operations were conducted
from France against England, and two
of his most notable adventures were his
attempts to abduct the earl of Selkirk
and his action with the Scraps and
Scarborough feet of English ships in
August, 1879.
After his victory Jones was received
in France with the highest honors.
The king gave him cross and a sword,
and congress vote Of thanks and the
command of the new frigate America.
In 1857 Jones returned to America and
was given gold medal by the congress.
He returned to Europe year later, and
engaged himself as q rear admiral in
the service of Russia. He died at Paris
July is, 1892.

that could be made.

PARIS MAN BUNCoED.
William williams is Taken in by Smooth
Confidence Men.

William Williams, we'll known
farmer of this county living in the town
of Paris, had an exciting encounter
with a band of confidence men in Chi
cago, and while he came out of the
interview with the smooth tongued
gentlemen without losing any money,
be gained some very interesting in-
formation. A correspondent in speak
ing of the visit of Williams to Chicago
tells the following story:
William Williams, of Kenosha, Wis,
believed himself very popular and well
known when he walked through the
Grand Central station yesterday. Will
liams was dressed IN a suit of flashy
pattern and heavy bearskin overcoat
was thrown carelessly across one arm.
He carried a large satchel with Will
liam Williams" painted in large letters
on both sides.
The man from Kenosba had walked
but a short distance in the depot when
young man approached him.
How do you do, Mr.. Williams, ;"
exclaimed the man. How are all the
folks down home?"
" Well, | hardly remember you, but
| meet so many people in Kenosha that
you may have slipped my memory"
Why, am little Willie Brown, I
would know you if | hadn't seen you
for twenty years, said the young man.
The scheme of the confidence man,
for such he was, was checked at this
juncture by the appearance of the
depot master.
Williams walked north on Fifth
avenue, and between Harrison and
Van Buren, streets he was addressed by
three different men, all of whom
claimed an intimate acquaintance.
The last to greet him was an alleged
confidence man known as Fred Han
sen. Hansen interested Williams with
story of an explosion near the lake,
and was about to take him to the lake
front when Sergeant James Mooney
appeared and arrested him James
Foster fined Hansen $25.

FOR AND AGAINST.
KENOSHA CITIZENS APPEAR BE-
FORE SHERIDAN DRIVE COM.
ACTION ON BILL IS DEFERRED.
Attorney Buckmaster Speaks Against the
Passage of the Bill while Attorney
James cavanagh Says it Should
Be Passed.


The fight of two years ago over the
Sheridan drive was renewed at Madison
Wednesday night when various repre-
sentatives of Kenosha and Racine
counties appeared before the Commit
tee on Roads and Bridges of the Senate
which was in session till after III
o'clock Action was deferred and it is
possible there will be another hearing
The bill under consideration was
No 1895, introduced by Senator Eaton.
Its provisions are about the same as
those of the bill two years ago The
committee room was filled with resi-
dents of Racine and Kenosha counties,
most of whom came to protest. There
was, however, a goodly representation
favorable.to the measure, and the ar
gument at times was heated.
Senator Reynolds, representing Ra-
cine and Kenosha counties, acted as
master of ceremonies and introduced
those who we're opposed to the bill. A.
E. Buckmaster, of this city, and Peter
Nelson, of Racine, made the principal
arguments against the bill. Others
who spoke against it were Assembly
man Ella, of Racine, Senator Reynolds,
G. c. Cuttings, of Racine, and William
Meadows, of Burlington.
1t was commended by the opposition
that the measure contemplated taxa
ton without providing any adequate
return. Messrs. Nelson and Buckmas-
ter maintained that they we're not OPP
posed to good roads but opposed paying
taxes in order to enhance the value Of
property owners or spectators. They
said the people of both counties were
opposed to the bill, sand attention was
called to the fact that .the Sheridan
drive project had been potent factor
in determining the complexion Of the
legislative delegation from iRacine and
Kenosha counties.
The bill was supported By James
Cavanagh, of this city, Senator B. A.
Eaton, F. W. Rogers and F. B. Van
Valkenburgh, of Milwaukee, Harry
Shoddy, of Cudahy, and others. They
did not ask that the bill as introduced
be passed, but that there should be
some kind of legislation that would en-
able the laying out of a state road to
connect the cities of Chicago and Mil
waukee. Mr.. Cavanagh said the ex-
pense was a mere bagatelle. No heavy
burden would fall upon anybody. The
proposed drive was a progressive
movement. It was intended to benefit
the people of the entire state and more
than all it would benefit the section of
territory through which it passed. The
advocates of the measure denied that
it was opposed by the people of Keno
sha and Racine counties and petitions
signed by the city officials and business
men of Racine and Kerosha favoring
its passage we're presented.
It is the general opinion that the bill
will be passed.
