The great question is that Of life.
With life many things are possible
and without which al Things would
seem as nothing. The physical
life is of natural birth, but spirit.
ual life is that of induction. The
Lord said to Nicodemus: "You
must be born again" All is for
naught unless born of spiritual
life.
Men and churches may be per-
feet in appearances, and if spirit
ual life is wanting all is as moth
ing. Religion is thing of life, it
is not church duties performed or
Appearances it is the union of the
soul with Christ. Science is un.
satisfactory. We read-ln the
beginning all things were made.
This surpasses all other declara-
tions and settles the question with
us.
We are not satisfied with evolu-
ton. God made man out OF the
dust. This stands out as the Rock
OF Ages: "Dust thou art and unto
dust shalt thou return" God
created us after his own image in
the spiritual sense; and on the
material God has stamped his own
image. All that make up true
manhood lies in the unseen.
knowledge of material things is
'heeting. We admire Niagara Falls
and the rainbow, but interest in
these is soon lost. With spiritual
things there is difference. The
more you read the Bible the more
you find OF interest, and the more
you see of beauty in Christ and bis

Upwards Of 500 were counted on

numbers were found lying on the

HOW EnrIaud Gets Recruits.

The English have always been enter
prising in their methods of recruiting,
and keep themselves up to date. Capt.
Eardley Wilmot, of the British navy, is
giving lectures on the development OF
that service. They are popular lectures,
illustrated with lantern slides, and the
object evidently is to present the navy
TO the public in an attractive and honor
able light. In his lecture Capt Wilmot
dealt with the seamen and marines. eX-
planning their duties and manner of liv-
ing on board ship. Together these two
lectures have been a great success. n
similar course would be valuable in this
country. When recruits are wanted in
the navy the government could well at
ford to try this system as method of
recruiting. Much could be done with
lantern lectures, and if the vitascope
were used there would be no doubt OF
the extreme popularity of the measure.

been carried into practical effect by the
founding of the mo Moustache Club,
a society whose members promise not
to allow any hirsute adornment to APP
pear on their faces so long as they re-
tain their membership in the club. The
club was founded by Alderman Jack
Hamill of this town after hiss return
from Cuba, where he declares the
wearers of moustaches are despised
and rejected men. Already there are
Sc members and the club is preparing
TO deluge the country with literature
showing that to allow hair to, grow on
the upper lip is most heinous offense

people, and that only by shaving clean
early and often can the members of
civilized community consider them
selves among the elect. The officers of
the club are Alderman Hamill, presi-
dent; Robert Kidney secretary; Ed
ward Crimmins. treasurer.
The eyes of Alderman Hamill were
first opened to the necessity of dispens-
ing witha very fine moustache when he
arrived in Cuba after the war. He
found that the natives failed to receive
him with the respect due a sx-foot rep
resentative of the deliverers' land, and,
after stalking about Tuning for while.

Aldermen Transact Their Bust

Sidewalks and the Like - Va
cancy Still Exists in Filth.

The meeting Of the city council last
evening was brief in fact, 1t lasted but
few moments. All of the aldermen
seemed to be possessed with the desire
TO get through as quickly as possible
and, doubtless being prompted by a
longing to see the Breach of Prom
ise," what little business was done was
done in hurry and without loss of
time. 1t had been expected that the
council would select a successor to ex-
Alderman Tom Mcguire of the Fifth,
but the choice was not spoken of last
night, and the vacancy still exists.
The principal matters given attention
at last nights meeting were the allow
ing of bills and the reading of few
petitions.
When the mayor called the meeting
to order the following members an
swered roll call: Aldermen Collins,
Dolan, Talbot, Dunno, Stephens, Fitz-
Patrick, Sladich and Kelley.
A petition was received from a num-
Der of interested property owners ask
ing that a sidewalk be laid on East
Third street between Jefferson and
Madison streets. The petition was re-
ferred to the street and alley commit
tee.
City Physician j. F. Spelman was
granted a leave of absence for an in

bill was received from Thomas
Kelley for S25 for 300 feet of extra water
pipe to connect the sewer in district
No. 10 with the flush tank. The bill
was referred to the street and alley
committee.
The finance committee reported, rec
ommending that certain bills referred
to it at previous meeting, be al
lowed and warrants be drawn for their
payment. The report was adopted.
The finance comittee also reported on
two bills of City Scavenger Hoagland,
amounting to $3.50. The items in
cluded charges for hauling to the dump
numerous dead cats. Alderman Col
Inns of the finance committee called at
tention to the cat items. He said that
while the ordinance provided for the
hauling away of dead dogs, there was
nothing said about cats, and he wanted
some authority from the council before
the committee recommended their pay
ment. The bills were itemized, and the
reading ran somewhat thusly: Aug.
L. one cat from street. The
reading created considerable amuse-
ment. The matter was disposed of by
the council allowing the bills.
An item of 500 in the electric light
company's bill, for removing an arc
light, was referred for investigation to
the light committee.
A bill from Isidore Riesentore for a
refund of poll tax claimed to have been
paid twice, was laid on the table.
street Commissioner Shovlin explained
that the tax had not been duplicated

reception accorded him. It's your
moustache," said frank friend one
day Shave it off and you will see
difference" Without stopping to in
quire the reason for the Cuban's an
tipathy to American moustaches, Alder
man Hamill made for the nearest ton
serial establishment. When he emerg
ed without vestige of hair on his
face he noticed Immediately that he
had gone up one hundred per cent. in
the estimation of the population, judy
ing by the outward and visible evil
dence of the inward respect entertain
ed for him in the Cuban breast.
When Mr.. Hamill returned to his
native country and town the very first
thing he did was to call together his
friends and neighbors and preach the
no-moustache doctrine to them with all
the vehemence of a very vigorous per-
sonality, supported by the conviction
that heaven-cleft pain 70 a nlgner
CT. ilizaticn had been opened to him by
the lesson learned in Cuba. His friends
at first listened with scorn to his propo-
si.ion that they submit to an operation
at the nearest BARRIERS shop, then
thought the matter over seriously and
concluded that, considering the appear
ance of Mr.. Hamill clean shaved and
his aiEearance when he left for Cuba
with a most ferocious appendage on
his VI per liz. the experiment might be
worth trying. The ball having once
been started on its rolling career the
club gather ed members at a great rate.
At the first regular meeting of the
club there were present II clean
shaved individuals. Rules were drawn
up, the fundamental one being that no
one should be admitted to membership
until he had been close-shaved so clean
ly that there was no visible sign of
hirsute growth, and that no member
should be admitted to the lodge meet
ings without the facial evidence of re-
cent visit to the barber. Some luxuri-
Gus mustaches have been sacrificed

there have been no backsliders. In
stead, the club is steadily growing in
strength, and so much encouraged is
Alderman Hamill with the experiment
that he talks of travelling from town to
town establishing mo Moustache
Clubs" throughout the country.
The most remarkable part of the
whole story is that there is not the
slightest intention on the part of the
members to treat the matter as a joke.
From Hamill down they all believe
that they are furthering the cause of
advanced civilization by sacrificing
their moustaches and trying to pursuade
their friends to do the same. They
have list Of arguments in favor Of
the sacrifice. The most interesting is
that man having originally been a
monkey, came by the hair on his face
through a remote and not very flatter-
ing ancestor; having advanced from
the ape stage by degrees he had learn
ed TO, get along without the hirsute
covering that nature provided as a
means Of protection against inclem-
ent weather, and the beard and mus
tache that man clings to being only a
link between the Darwin period of his
existence and the present stage, should
be dispensed with in the interest of an
advancing intellectually. 1t is the
theory of the members of the mo
Moustache Club" that women are su-
perior being to man because they grow
no boards. This pride of the masculine
sex is in fact regarded as a sign of
backward evolution rather than of su-
periority, and the razor is looked upon
as the implement of mans deliverance
form the last link that binds him 10
the, period when all men, and not a
mere percentage of them as at present,
were apes.
The club is DESTROYS of having an APP
propriate design for a badge. 1t has
been suggested that monkey apply
ing a razor to his whiskers would be in
accord with the ideas of the mo Nous
tache Club" but the members do not
regard the suggestion with unanimous
favor. Any other suggestions will
however, be gladly received and sub
mitted to the next meeting of the club.
