HAS GRAND JURY THE PowERt
May No Longer Have Any Authority
over Chain-Eang.

TIE grand jury OF the Superior Court, IN
its recent presenlments. made note OF the
fact that the body had been informed by
Chairman Dale of the County Commission
ers that the chain-gang is now under the
control Of the state prison commission and
entirely governed by the regulations pre-
scrbed by that body.
This being the case. Chairman Dale in
formed the grand jury that il no longer
had any authority over the Changing
and that consequently it would be unnec-
essary for future grand juries TO continue
their visits TO the chain-gang.
The grand jury evidently considered
Chairman Dale good authority, as his
statement to this effect was embodied in
the presentments, with The further state
ment that it would be unnecessary Tor
his honor to charge the grand Juries mere
after upon the duty Of inspecting the
chain-gang.
Judge Falligant did not catch the i'm
port of this when the proceedings were
read in court by the foreman. His at
tenuon was afterwards called TO the mat
ter and he was asked if Chairman Dale
was correct in his statement TO the grand
jury that that body no longer has the
authority to supervise the chain-gang.
He replied that ne had not yet had time
TO examine the law creating the prison
commission as to its bearing upon county
chain-gangs.
Judge Falligaut did not say so in so
many words, but he is evidently under
the impression that il is still the duty of
the grand juries to give their attention
to the conduct of the chain-sang and TO
make note of anything, which, in their
opinion requires to be Temedied

THE NEWNEss OF LIFE.
Rev. DIR. JOrdan's Remarks Preced-
ing the Ordinance of baptism.

Rev. DIR. Jordan's Remarks Preced-
ing the Ordinance of Baptism.
At the First Baptist Church last night
Rev. John d. Jordan discussed "Newnsss
of Life in Christ" his talk being based
upon three portions of scripture, Even so
we should walk in newness of life" Ro-
mans 6: 4: IF any man be in Christ he is
a new creature" 2 Corinthians, 5: II; and
Encch walked with God 500 years.
The new life The new creature, and n
new atmosphere were each briefly discuss
ed by DR.. Jordan as the conditions and re-
suits of conversion. Burial with Christ
in baptism, he said, was symbolical of the
burial to sin and the resurrection to a new
life No man who has given the subject
reasonable consideration, he said. can
doubt that Christ did live upon this earth
that he died physical death, and that ne
arose from the grave TO a new life. Hav-
ing the new life he becomes a new crsa-
ture, the old sinful nature is put awav
from him and he lives in a new spiritual
atmosphere. Having this new life il is
the duty OF those who have received if to
declare ii TO the world by the symbolical
death to sin and resurrection TO newness
Of life embodied in the ordinance of ban
tism.
Dr. Jordan's talk appropriately preced-
al the administration of the ordinance Of
baptism which followed the sermon. The
candidate being young lady. The ordi-
nance was administered in a very solemn
and impressive manner
Prof. Barbour Of Chicago presided at tbo

of strong frame and a vigorous consti-

weak and sick, so that it was scarcely a
matter of surprise when his body was

CONFIRMED AT SACRED HEART.
Forty Young People Receive the
Episcopal blessing.

Episcopal blessing.
Bishop Becker confirmed a large class al
Sacred Heart Church yesterday afternoon,
when about forty of the young members
of the church affirmed the vows taken for
them by their god-parents at baptism and
received the episcopal blessing.
The bishop prefaced the sacrament by
talk to the young people who were about
TO receive it. in which he reminded them
Of its solemn nature and Of the benefits
that would result to them if they were in
a mood and a fit condition of mind and
soul TO take the VOWS that il included. and
live up to them in spirit and in truth.
Confirmation said the bishop, must be
beginning with him or her who is con-
firmed and not an end. One must not
think that because he has received this
sacrament that he has performed all the
duties his religion requires. or that he can
afford TO spend the rest of his life in in
glorious ease. 1t should be the beginning
of piety, goodness and a cody life and
the end of an over indulgence in the frlv-
olities OF youth. There must be more of
modification and less Of amusement, more
of piety and less of dancing.
Bishop Becker was assisted in admins
teripg the sacrament by Rev. Father Will
lam Mayer and Father Andrew The
musical service was on the plane of ex-
cellence that is usual at the Sacred Heart
and the resonant voices of the choir were
never heard to better advantage.
