ANECDOTES or 1NGERsoLL.

Eli Perkins Gives a Number of iemin-
sciences.
Eli Perkins writes as follows to the
New York sun:
When 1 was writing my Kings Of
Platform and Pulpit" Robert Ingersoll
kindly sent me what he called his
greatest lecture. Liberty of Man, Wo-
man and Child" with many other OF
his most brilliant sketches.
I'm using my speeches. he wrote.
edo not use any assault | may have
thoughtlessly made on Christ. which /
foOliShly made in my early life. WIN
Renan. / believe Christ WAS the one
perfect man. 'Do-unto- Others is the
perfection Of religion and morality. 1t
Is the summum bOnum. 1t was lofiier
than the teachings OF Socrates, Plato.
Mohammed. Moses or Confucius. 1t
superseded the commandments that
Moses claimed To have gotten from
God. for with ChriSt's do-unto-othcrS
there could be no murder. lying. cove
tousncss or war. 1t superseded Greek
patriotism. Roman fortitude or Anglo
Saxon bravery. for with do-unto-othcrs
bravery and patriotism would not be
needed
AIR. Inrersoll's arguments were OF
the reductio ad absurdum kind. One
day in II talk on the cars With Talmage
he said:
place. Brother Talmagc. where every
ono had 10 he good by law?'
''ccrtainly." said Talmage.
"You would like to live whore every
ono had to so to church regularly every
Sunday?"
Yes. that would suit me-"
Where no man could get Il drink and
swearing was not permtted"'
Yes. that's the place for me"
And whore every man would have
to keep regular hours"
"rhat would be heaven on GARTH"
said Talmagc, smiling ana striking his
knee with his open palm.
WELL said Bob. looking over his
glasses. you'd better 90 UP to sins
Sing. That's the way they do there"
Bcecher was very fond Of Bob Inger-
soil. Ingersolls Republication. anti
slaveryism and patriotic love for Grant
and his soldiers won Eeccher. This is
why he introduced him to his Plymouth
Church audience. sun. Beecher was al
ways joking the great aEnostic.
One day asked the great divine If
he really liked Ingersoll.
Il can't help It," he said. Il love all
my fellow men," and then he added
with humorous solemnity: "And |
say now. when Robert Ingersoll dies
whether he goes to heaven or hell, +
| wish him joy!"
1t is an old story that I have told
many times but the death of the loved
agnoatic makes il new again.
When lngersoll was thrilling audi
enccs with his great lecture on "Ro-
bert Burns Beecher went to hear him
in Chicago. At tho Palmer House
asked him how he liked it.
1T was a wonderful entertainment"
said Beecher. "FIc held his audience
every minute. He is II great genius.
and | should like 10 write his epltaph"
What would you write?" asked
oh" said Bcechcr. as he rubbed his
two front fingers on his thoughtful,
brow. "it would be a short cpitaph 1t
would simply be:

THE BOERS
WERE REPULsED
But They Succeeded in
Blowing Up a Train.

LONDON, Oct. 15.-According to dis
patches from the front, che Beers have
made several attaks upon Mafeking,
all of which have been repulsed.
In connection with the rumored at
tack upon Mafeking, disquieting re-
port comes from Pretoria to the effect
that the Rusten burg and Marico com
mands have crossed the border and en-
tered the Rooigrond territory between
Lichten burg and Mafeking. blowing
up bridge over the Malopopo river
and destroying trainload OF dynamite
and the track. AS Mafeking depends
Rooigrond for it's water supply, the
significance of this move is evident.
The Exchange Telegraph Company
received dispatch from Cape Town
saying the Beers have blown up an
other armored train carrying telegraph
operators from Mafeking.
The Beers it is reported, have seized
a railroad station north of Fourteen
Streams. between Vryburg and Kim
berly. Fighting is still continuing in
the neigh borhood.
Latest reports from Vryburg say
the armored train that was destroyed
at Kraaipan contained in addition to
Nesbitt's force, number of workmen
and six residents of Maribogo, south of
Mafekina, who, on hearing of the
Boer advance, took refuge on the train, !

Funston on the Situation.

CHICAGO. Oct. ia special to the
Times Herald from San Francisco says
~ see no reason why the Americans
should not be the sole masters OF the
Philippines by March next year.
This is the opinion of Brigadier Gen
eral Funston, "The situation in the
island" he says, "has reached stage
where it is easy to cope with it, There
must be no temporizing, no wasted
sympathy, no foolish sentiment. 1t
must be case OF fight. The Filipinos
are in such frame OF mind that they
will not yield until thoroughly thrashed.
Aguinaldo is shewd but not clever. If
the people could be induced to accept
the situation they would desert him
tomorrow. If the American army
fights them at every hand / believe
they will come focking into our camp
and will have no further use for that
prince of confidence operators, Aguin-

Wasson's Ups and Downs.

BOSTON, Oct. 16.-Among the mem
bers OF the forty-sixth regiment, which
will leave for Manila, via San Fran,
cisco, tomorrow, is Sergeant James A.
Wasson, graduate of West Point, and
and ex-paymaster in the army. Was
son graduated from the academy at the
head of his class, was promoted in the
service, was sent to Egypt by President
Grant to assist the khedive in reorgan-
izing the army, and subsequently went
OF a similar mission to Japan, where
he arose to high favor.
Returning to the army of the United
tates he fell into evil ways, became
ort in his accounts, and was CASH
i,red. He became a civil engineer in
Missouri, then went to Japan and
helped that country in the war with
China. Now he has re-entered the
American military service as nom
commissioned officer.

THE WAR
IN AFRICA
Beers Thought to Have
Attacked Kimberley

LONDON, Oct. 16.--The gradual cut
ting off OF outlying points at the scene
of hostilities in South Africa from
telegraphic communication reduces ac-
curate news obtainable to a minimum.
Thus far, therefore, no reliable infor=
nation has been received of any actual
fighting, except at Kraaipan and an
occasional exchange of shots at various
outposts. There is no lack OF circum-
stautial stories regarding fighting at
various points, but these are scarcely
published before they are denied.
The only salient facts in this morn
ing's kilograms are that the Beers
have advanced beyond Newcastle and
formed laager near Danhuser about
II miles north of Dundee; that Kim
berley is isolated and probably in
vested.
Kimberly has thus become the i'm
mediate center OF interest. The last
message from Kimberly prior to the
cutting of the telegraph and railway
by the Beers, said: "All troups al
Kimberley are we'll"

MAsSIE Is NOT GUILTY
That Was the Jury,s Verdict on the Second
TrinI

That Was the Jury,s Verdict on the Second
Trial.
ST.. HELENS, Or, Oct. l5.-A verdict
of not guilty was returned at | o'clock
Saturday morning by the jury in the
case against ex-Sheriff G. A. Massie.
The jury retired at I O'Clock in the
evening, and it is stated that only four
ballots were taken. The first ballot
was for acquittal and for conviction;
the second ballot, 10 to 2; the third,
II to |, and finally the last man yielded,
Massia was accused of embezzling
tax moneys while he was sheriff. This
was his second trial. The jury at the
former trial disagreed. The trial Just
closed was largely attended, people
coming to hear it from Rainier, YER
nonia and other points.
One of the influences that doubtless
