tation has no power to detaiu ascend
ing spirits. Up through immensities
and b. stellar and lunar and solar
splenaors, which cennot be described
by mortal tongue, we rise higher and
higher, till We reach the shining gate
as it opens for our return, and the
questions greet us from all sides:
What is the news? What did you
ind in that earthly tower? What have
you to report in this city Of the sum
Prophetic, apostolic, sanity inquiry.
And, standing on the steps Of the
house of many mansions, we cry aloud
the news: Hear it, all ye gloriEed
Chsistian workers of all the past cen
turies, We found your work was sue
ceSsful, whether on earth you toiled
with knitting needle, or rung towel
on a rising wall, or smote shoe last,
or endowed a university, or swayed a
sceptcr; whether on earth you gave a
cup cf cold water in the name of dis
cip!e, or at some Pcntecost preached
5000 souls into the kingdom.
In that world We have just visited
the deserts are all abloom, and the
wildernesses are bright with fountains.
Sin is extirpated Crime is reformed.
Disease is cured. The race is emanci-
pated. The earth is full of the knowl
edge Of God, as the waters cover the
sea. The redeemed of the Lord have
come to Zion with songs and everlast-
ing 10y upon their heads. The Lord
God Omnipotent reigneth, and the
Kingdoms Of the world have become
the kingdoms of our LORD Jesus Christ.
Let the harpers of heaven strike the
glad tidings from the strings Of their
harps, and the trumpeters put them IN
the mouth Of their trumpets, and the
orchestras roll them iuto the grand
march of the eternities, and all the
cathedral towers of the great capital
of the universe chime them all over
heaven
And now look up and see the cast
ing down at the bejewe.ed and radisn
crowns at the sacred feet of the en-
throned Jesus. Missionary Carey is
casting down before those feet the
crown Of Iudia saved. Missionary
Judson is casting down the crown Of
Burma saved. Missionary Abeel cast
ing down the crown of China saved.
David Livingston casting down at
those feet the crown Of Africa saved.
Missionary Brainerd casting down the
crown of this country's aborigines
saved. Souls went up from all the de-
nominations in America in holy rivalry,
seeking which could soonest cast down
the crown Of this continent at the
Saviour's feet, and America saved.
But often you and I, who were com.
panions in that expedition from heaven
10 earth, seated on the green bank o
the river that rolls through the para
disc of God, will talk over the scenes
we witnessed in that parenthesis OF
heavenly bliss, in that vacation from
the skies, in our terrestrial visitation
we who were early residents in the
nineteenth century, escorted by the
spirit Of the twenty-frst centuay, when
we saw that my text describes as "a
new earth, wherein dwelleth righteous
ness" "Glory be to the Father and
to the Son and to the Holy Ghost, as
it was in the beginning, it now and
ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.

It is reported that Warren and

vile. 1t is reported that Warren and
Mrs. Edwards were contemplating a
matrimonial alliance, bat owing to OBJ
jections by his people, they thought
best to 60 elsewhere and arrange the
matter, hence the trip to Charleston, at
which place Warren was arrested i'm
mediateIy upon his arrival. Mrs. Ed
wards is quite wealthy and it is hardly
probable that she would be implicated
in such an undertaking as the robbery
Of an express car. Public sentiment is
considerably in the prisoners favor.
Warren is only allowed to see his coun-
sci in, private, all other interviews
must take place in the presence of the
sheriff or one of his deputies.

Dear Mrs. Taylor, President S. G. Di-

Dear Mrs. Taylor, President S. G. Dl-
vision, D. G.
If you think it advisable will you
bring to the notice Of the Daughters
of the Coufederacy matter which in
tercsts me? A pupil in our school who
had two years before studied United
States history under NE suggested that
she would like to contribute a little to
the monument to be erected by the
southern people to Mr.. Davis, even if
she only gave nickel. \ boy in the
class ridiculed the idea of a nickel be-
ing worth giving. l said to them, that
if every boy and girl throughout the
State gave even l cent it would make
magnificent contribution, That start
ed a movement in our school to get
every student who was studying or had
studied about the Confederacy to give
something for the Davis modument. l
decorated the mite box with the Con-
federate bolors-red and white-and Il
miniature battle flag, and also like
ness of Jefferson Davis. Almost every
child gave something. Some Of the lit
tie ones at home heard their older
brothers and sisters speak of it, and
sent their mites. Indeed the first coin
dropped in the box was given by a boy
I years old whose grandfather had
been killed at Charleston.
The children want me to suggest to
you that our example Of small con-
tributisn be followed by chools
throughout the State. Truly yours etc.
Columbia, S. c., Nov. 30, 1899.
10 the teachers and scholars of the
public and private schools Of Sorth
Carolina, the girls Of the Methodist,
Presbyterian, Converse, Greenville and
other colleges, the converts, kindergar-
ten and all other schools, to the moth
ers and sisters of the wee people who
are to grow up into our great ones, to
the little people themselves this letter
IS addressed. The writer is Induced to
make this communication because the
wise suggestion comes to her from the
lips Of ':babes and sucklings." Surely
older people must respond to the appeal
from these children for cooperation IN
assertidg their confidence in the ri ght-
ness Of the sacrifices made bp their
fathers, which were beyond measure too
great for men to have dared to make,
but for what was beyond all other
value.

of the twenty-frst century, and you
and say to each other, we must sc

have staid long enough on this terres-
trial visitation to see that all the best
things foretold in the Scriptures and
which We read during our earthly resi-
dence have come to pass, and all the
Davidie, Solomonic and Paulinian and
Johannean prophecies have been full

What happiness that we could have

and before it burned, for its internal
fires have nearly bur1ed out to the

ing it easy for the theologian to believe
in the confagration that the Bible
predicts. One element taken from the

son is not given to flights. She first
won the people with her simplicity and
sincerity and the sunshine of her ma
ture and then held them and moved
them by the force and eloQuence of
tersely stated truths.
Mrs. Stetson's clirnaxes are never
longer than a sentence from beginning
to ending. She leads her hearers along
by such a dainty strand of thought
gems that they are all unconscious of
her leading. There are glints of the
keenest satire. flashes of delightful
humor, deft suggestion or two, a
smile which iI1uminates her face and
then the smile fades, the face becomes
like black diamonds, her long fingers
bear into her palms, her slight form
borrowS seeming height from its rigid
ity. She speaks few earnest, burning
indicating words which thrill with the
power of truth, and it is as though with
her physician hand she had clutched and
Wrenched every heart.
Mrs. Stetson does not cry aloud. She
does not denounce. She delivers a ire
mendouSly earnest message from the
depths of her soul.
Under the spell of her burning words
Prof. George T. Murphy arose and in a
voice which trembled proposed a vote
of thanks, saying Mrs. Stetson had won
him over from his opposition to women
on the rostrum.
President w. P. Evans of the Peda-
gogical society, under the auspices of
which the lecture was given, put the
question and every person in the house
arose.
Mrs. Stetson is still a young woman.
Out of suffering has come her wonder
full compassion for suffering.
She is slight and not beautiful. The
genius which shines in her face saves
her from being plain. She has a prom
inent nose, a well set jaw and deep eyes.
She dresses in a style of her own. She
wears what she chooses to wear and
what best meets her view of the fitness
of apparel without apparent regard for
that which prevails. Her gowns are Sc
verely plain and yet it is a severity and
a plainness which are essentially and
sweetly feminine. They are distinctive
by their absence of distinctiveness.
They are different" as the wearer is
different They are Stetson gowns.
She is as delightful socially as she is
satisfying logically and convincing on
the platform. Her conversation is vivid
and brilliant She charms every body
with whom she comes in contact by her
wit and vivacity. Although these are
pronounced there is a vein of serious
ness running through it ALL One of the
wonderful things about her is that the
combination of strong mind, radical
views and marked sprightliness of man
ner.
Mrs Stetson thinks for herself. She
proclaims the truth as she sees the
of the radicals. Her views of the status
and relations of woman to society are
too far in advance of the thought of the
time to be accepted She contends for
the absolute economic independence of
woman.

GOING TO DENVER.
Texas Will Be Well Represented at
the National Live Stock Association.

Texas Will Be Well Represented at
the National Live Stock Association.
Fort Worth, Tex. Jan. 21.-The Texas
contingent to the National Live Stock
association will be a large one. 1t is
conservatively estimated by well-posted
cattIemen here that the number will
exceed 200 or 800, comprising the thrift
lest and most prominent men connected
with the business both in Texas, Okla
homa and Indian Territory.
Besides those directly identified with
the cattle industry in the state, large
parties composed OF railroad freight
agents, steamship line managers, pack
ing house people, commission men and
others will form part of the big dele
cation that will go to Denver from the
Lone Star state
The Texas cattIemen will is it said
ask the national live stock association
to take some satisfactory action regard
ing the quarantine and fever matters.
On account of the rates made by the
railroads from Texas points to Denver,
Texas cattlemen are beginning to look
for an additional outlet at that point.
The delegation to go to Denver from
Fort Worth will be made up of not less
than so persons. This city will be a
strong candidate for the next session
of the national live stock association,
and the delegation will go thoroughly
equipped to make bid that will be
hard to defeat. Just what the offer is
to be is being kept secret by the dele
gates, but it is understood the offer will
be q plenty"

in a campaign button mandatory,

leans, land was fortunately just in
time to catch the craze.
1--WE had quite a large plant, and
were able to turn out 100, 900 buttons a
day. The device was printed on disks
of specially prepared celluloid, which
were then slightly softened and pressed
on metal rings with stud fastening
That part was done by a machine which
was invented by woman in Iowa. She
made about $4,000 out of her patent.
The first buttons were nearly all po-
litical, but the fad soon extended to
other varieties, and at one time we
made over 300 different sets, each set
having, sometimes. as many as 40 sep
arate designs. Making the drawings
alone kept a corps of ten men busy
They were originally printed in black,
but after a while the demand for novel
ty forced us to put in color presses, and
some of the work was really artistic.
Eventually we used photography also,
and printed from the negatives direct
to the celluloid. The process was a
secret one, and we had to pay a pretty
stiff royalty. There was great differ

BROTHER OF NINE. SAVILLE
Taken In Custody at San Francisco
For Burglary.

San Francisco, Jan. 21.-Jules Simon
sen, tenor of local reputation and
brother of Nine. Saville, the prima dom
ma now with the Grau company in New
York, is in prison here with several
charges of burglary against him. From
evidence in the hands of the police it
seems that Simonsen has been leading
a dual life, and while captivating audi
ences at the Tivoli Opera House, he was
in his leisure moments pracdcing burg
larry as a remunerative art.
Simonsen was caught in the residence
OF A. r. Herman at 623 Eddy street
last Sunday night with booty in his pos
session. The police, however, say that
they can bring home to him three other
burglaries.
The musical thief admits that he is
guilty of the crime for which he was
arrested, but denies the other charges.
In Simonsen's trunks were found some
jewelry and pawn tickets for more. He
claimed that the articles belonged to a
LADY friend, concerning whom he
would give no information. A quantity
of stolen property was recovered.

EXECUTED HIS FATHER.
Moapa Indian Brave Carries Out Man
date of Tribal Court

Salt Lake, Utah, Jan. 21.-The cor
respondent of the Herald at State Line,
on the Utah-Nevada line, sends a SEN
sational account of the execution of a
Moapa Indian brave, his son being the
eXecutioner.
The tragedy occurred on the Moapa
reservation in Lincoln county. An In
dian named Rats quarreled with his
squaw, who left him and went to live
with a buck by the name of Mouse
Ear. Rats went after the squaw and
Mouse Ear shot and killed him.
He fed from the reservation, but was
captured by members of the tribe, after
a weeks chase. The authorities of Lin
coin county informed the Indians that
there was no law under which Mouse
Ear could be punished and the post
master on the reservation informed
them that they could deal with their
prisoner as they pleased.
A council was held, at which it was
decided that the prisoner should be put
to death, and that his own son should
be the executioner. This the young buck
agreed to. Mouse Ear was placed on
horseback, ten PAGES from his son, with
his back toward him, and when all was
ready, Mouse Ear Jr., fired and instant
~ killed his father. A big pow-Wow
was then held and the executioner was
