THE JEWISH SOUTH.

An event OF a serious character occurred one uay
in the Street of Roses" Honigman called out to
Mark, whose scn-iii-law Lowey (Lion) was measur-
ing out some silk: Do you know that Venice is
Jewish city,"
"You always know more than any else" re-
marked Mark, not too politely
"That's true replied his friend, for you are ig-
norant of the fact that there is Saint Marks place,
with two winged lions, at Venice and know it. J"
This was too much. Mark rushed into the street,
and about throwing himself upon his uckless
tormentor when the women of the respective fami-
lies interposed and separated the boodthirsty adver
saries.
"This is al real drama" cried Pnkee, the buffoo
these men would have killed each other if they had
been left alone!"
Mark swore that he had no other ambition now
than to get hold of something that Honigman val
ued more than anything else in the world.
What will you give me-" cried Jessica, if get
possession of something that Honigman cares very
much for something that he will tear his very beard
out if he oses?"
Whatever you want, my girl-whatever you
want, even if it is my most precious possession"
Every well, father but want you to sign your
name to this promise"
Mark wrote at her dictation, and when he had at
fixed his signature his daughter, with pleased and
subtle smile, folded the precious document and slip
ped it in her bosom. @4
A fortnight later, the celebration of Purim, the
Jewish carnival took place.
Night had fallen, and the Jewish quarter was
flooded in a sea of splendor All doors were hosp
tably thrown open Masqueraders filled the streets
and sailed in parties, large and small, into their
friends houses, where they INDUCED in all sorts OF
merrymaking. There dancing all sides A
special performance was going at Marks; " Es

who took the part of Esther excited the admiration
of all.

were just about to take their seats at the tables
when loud voices and frightened screams were heard

Encouraged by this precious exchange he took

nations have experienced great cliff cultv in he designation of their he- roes, Mistakes ate frequently made. But the church makes no mistakes. There is 3 process in her laws by which the saints Of Christian life are surely tested. This is the canoniza- tion of saints. There are three steps in this process. By the first the candidate is declared venerable; blythe second, blessed by the third, Il saint. The first investigation is preliminary. The seeoLd is very rigorous. 4 regular court is organ ized with judge, clerk, attorney for the case and an attorney who from his work of disputing what is fayor- able to the candidate, K known as the devils advocate The testi- mony is given under oath and with the supervision that is observed In courts Of justice. A statement of the facts in the case is drawn up at the conclusion of this inquest and forwarded to Rome. ID course of some years. the proper committee of credentials in Rome will take up the matter as a court of higher re- sort might do. 1t happens ire quently that many years are spent by this higher court in their deiiber- atIons.
 To be honCred as saint ia the Catholic church is no light thing. The church invites people to read the lives of her saints and on the feast of all saints 10 look up to heaven and view in mental vision the wonderful happiness which they enjoy. Like St. Augustine we are urged to ask ourselves frequently the question: What others have done, cannot you do?

COL. FORDYCE IGNORED.
Presented With Loving Cup by His
 Friends and Co Laborers.

In the window of R. II. Stearns & Co.,, of this city can be seen a loy- ing cup with the following inscrip- tion thereon: Presented to Col. Sam W. Fordyee by his friends and co laborers Of the St, Louis Sonth- western Railway Company 1899"
 The cup is twice the size of the loving cup for which the Shamrock and Columbia competed recently. It is of beautiful design. Owing to the extra size of the cup it was not spun, as is generally the case, but was hammered into shape from the sheet silver. It is an artistic piece of silyerware. The base of the cup IS made of ebonized wood. The cup has three handles. The figures and everything on 1t are made symbolic of railroad life The two figures on the base of the cup represents ma chinery: the other, power. The lat ter has burning torch charaeteris- tic of fire, and a governor, represent ing steam, The third figure OH the base of the cup is that of commerce. The handles of the cup are horns of plenty, reversed and surrounded by different products, such as wheat, etc. The panel in the centre is etch- ed and is scene of railroad life. The chest on which the cup rests is of oak and opens on all four sides. The cost of the cup was $a00
 Col. Fordyce has been justly hon. ored The railroad men have hon. ored themselves in presenting such memento of their friedship and good. fellowship to Col. Fordyce.

LAKESIDE METHODIST CHURCH.

Preaching by Rev. j k. Cason, pastor; subject, Prominence of
 woman in the work of the church. 7 Text. Philippines 4-3: And Ientreat the also, true yokefellow. help those
 women which labOured with me in the gospel.
 Woman has occupied prominent place in every prosperous age in the history of the church. She sinks h. to insignifcance in proportion as the oh 'rch has gone into a condition of apostasv. She occupies a promi- nent place in every reform and pros gressive movement, whether it be in church or State. It was MiTiam who led the song of triumph over the de- liverance of Israel from Egyptian bondage; it was Huldah who ex- pounded the law uRder reign of Jo- siah; it was Anna, the prophecies, who first discovered mesiahship ia the infant Christ; iC was woman who fingered near the cross when the dis clples had fled, and kept loving watch near the tomb ntil the resurrection of her Lord. She received the first command to spread the glad tidings of His resurrection, and has ever since sustained an active and p"omi- nent place in all the conquests of the Messiah's Kingdom. Sue has by the demonstration of her power, enlarg- ed her sphere, revolutionized public sentiment, and lifted it 10 the level of her progress. The beginning of her proper recognition is of recent date. The present is only the dawL- ing of that Eperfect day when Ter rights will be fully respected. and her sphere of activity and usefulness unrestricted.

EDISON AND COUGHLIN
Remembered by the Railroad Boys
 of the Cotton Belt.

Mr. J. A. Edson, who was super. intendent of the St. Louis South western Railway Company with headquarters at Tyler, Texas, prior to his accepting a similar position with the Pee Gee, has been rendered beautiful present by the railroad boys in the form of a split second ctronograrh watch and chain. The chain is IA karat and the case IS karat.
 Ex-Division Superintendent W. c. Coughliu was also the recipient of a like present from the same source. The two gentlemen are held in high esteem by the Cotton Belt employees.
 The presents are at the jewelry store of R. H. Stearus & Co.,, on Main street. Both watches have a circular gold charm with an inlaid diamond in center.

FIRST METHODIST CHURCH.

Rev. Anderson preehed in the fore noon and at night The forenoon sermon was in the interest of wo- mans work in the church and was preached in accordance with action taken on the subject by the Little Rock conference at it's last session.
 Women followed Christ ill his per- sonal ministry on the earth, were in attendance npcn his teaching. and ministered to him with their sGb- stance, and the Master gays atten- tion to women as no other teacher has ever done. His gospel, has changed the position of women m the world, freed her from a thous- eand tolls, given her time, has emaneipated her intellectually, so- ciallg and CiviIy: has conferred up- on her powers aud privileges of every sort.
 What use shall woman make of her new found pc wers?
 She may squander them upon the fripperies of society life-go back to paint and feathers, ; where the gos- pei finds us all in our savage state, and be as Ghristless and SIS Goddess as a savage. She ought to devote her powers to the uplifting of those for whom Christ died h the mis- sionary N ork of women there is a loud call for service. Women in pa gan lands can be effeetualIy reached only by women. Moreover, the la bors of women have been of vast benefit to the home church by lea- son of it's reflex influence, has broad ened and educated the church. It has also given us better homes. The missionary idea embraces the whole gospel.

4 MURDERER CAPTURED.
Jim Dickinson, One of the slayors of Farmer Martin is in Custody.

Parties arriving in the city from Thornton Sunday report the cap ture of Jim Dickinson, a negro who devised the plans and employed Wiley Bum 10 waylay and kill his landlord, Allen Martin, a prom tnent tarmer of summeryille, Cal houn county, several years ago.
 Tho negro Dickinson left Calhoun county directly after the deed had been committed and located in the Indian Territory where he embark ed in the mercantile business in a small way, and was afterwards ap. pointed, by the present administra- tion, postmaster of his town, By his shrewdness he had become a leader of his race in that locality and was living h his glory until a few mon tbs ago when he read in the daily pa pers that Wiley Bum was alive and , hld surrendered. Dickinson then departed aud had not been heard of until telegram was received last week by Sheriff Furow, of Hamp- ton, from the authorities of the Ter ritory announcing the capture oi the criminal, who is now enroute to the scene of his diabolical crimes.
 Whey Bum, the negro who shot and @lled Martin on the promise of a sum of money from Dickinson aud his colleagues, surrendered after being at large for four years and was tried at special term of the Calhoun county court G August and Was sentenced to be hanged; but the day of the execution was not appointed as it was deemed necessary that Bum be retained as a witness in the case against Dick inson.
 Dickinson is that type of negro which education makes a dangerous character of, and his work in Cal Loun county has caused a deal of trouble. The clan of negroes of which he was the leader near Sum meryhle have all met an untimely fate except Wiley Bum who is now under a death sentence. The ne- -e'roea Of that community have been
 Unhappy by the awful effects ..e.o eadership of such dastards as Dickinson and many of taem re- moved from the eighborhood. The good name of the county has been attacked by northern writers who do rot know the crcums tances, and honorable, law abiding citizens have had thelr characters in jeopar dy as result.
 As an example Of the influence of such demons as Dickinson we cite a tragedy which recently occurred %in that community. Hon. Geo. W Dickinson. a planter, and one of the most honorable and highly respected gentlemen in the State, who runs a plan tation near Summerville, had 1 occasion to reprimand 8 negro la |boror for not working The negro l 'inmeesately quit his. crop aud was

ST. JOsEPH's CATHOLIC CHURCH.
 The commemoration of All Saints day was the subject of the sermon by Father Lucey.
 It is natural to honor heroes. The man who comes back to his native land after having displayed the courage of a hero in planting the flag of his country on distant shores is sure of being honored by his fel- low citizens. The ancient pagans frequently deified their heroes in their ardor to render them honor.
 While the church sets apart epp- cial days to honor special saints, the first day of November is slesig- mated as the feast of all saints. The church goes even farther in her ef- forts 10 honor her faithful children. Private societies as vel as great
