Mrs. Oliphant appears to nave scored

Of Irving, and went into something like

caustic a writer. Mrs. Carlyle, who
was a woman of very remarkable abil-
ity, and in that way a worthy, if an
ill-fitting, companion Of her great and
glum husband, one of the real in

letters and statesmen, wrote to Mrs.
Oliphant of Carlyle's hearty praise of

New York, June 23.-Deserted by his
wife, the Rev. David Morrelle. D.. d.,
an Episcopal clergyman of Wilmington,
N. c., seventy-one wears old, attempt
ed to kill himself by asphyxiation. at
22S West End Avenue today. The aged
man is now in Roosevelt Hospital and
the physicians say his recovery is
doubtful.
The Rev. DIR. Morrelle and his young
handsome wife moved into he West
End Avenue house in April. The old
man is a cripple, his left leg having
been amputated. He walked on crutch-
es. On Monday Mrs. Morrelle, went
out, ~,ste1sibly to do shopping, and did
not return. Shortly after the wife left
the house, an auctioneer called and in
spite of the old mans remonstrances
removed all the furniture.
Maggie O'Reilly, a formr srevant Of
the Morrelles said today: A young
doctor called on Mrs. Morrelle frequent

On Wednesday night the maid went
to d.. Morrelle's apartments and found
him alone, almost starved to death.
This morning the old man was found
dying in an empty room with six gas
jets turned on.

New York, June 23.-The Rev. David
Morrelle, an Episcopal clergyman,
formerly of Wilmington, n. c., at
tempted suicide by turning on six jets
Of gas in his partments on West End
avenue, in this city, today. All the
furniture in the apartments was re-
moved several days ago. Mrs. Morrelle,
the clergyman's wife, left the house
about the same time and did not return.
The care taken in the house says
that Mrs. Morrelle left in company with
a young doctor, with whom she had
been seen a number of times. DR.. Nor
relle is II years old. He is crippled in
the lower part of his right leg. Mrs.
Morrelle is 3S years old.
From letters found in DR.. Morrelle's
room it is thought he was formerly
connected with preparatory schools for
West Point and Annapolis. A letter
addressed 10 Captain Martin, L. F. r.
G.. S., of Detroit, Mich, apparently
written by the clergyman, was found in
his room.
DR.. Morrelle was taken to Roosevelt
hospital. His condition is serious.

Memory is a precious gift of our
Heavenly Father. 1t is a storehOuse
whence we draw the words of the past.
1t some times brings sorrow and dis
tress. ut it often opens up a vista
of beauty and makes glad the soul.
But we do not propose here to cele-
brate it's powers and blessings. 1t sug-
gests to us anOthe thought-the per-
ishableness of human grandeur and
glory and how soon the records of
fame fade away and are forgotten. The
stately ship cutting the waves and
passing on, and the suddenness with
which it's line of advance is obliterated
is an emblem of the distinguished
mans passage across life's ocean, and
how very soon, all impressions disap-
pear and pass from memory's volume
forever. The late Bishop Atkinson ask
ed us some thirty-three years ago-in
1S66-if it had ever occurred to us of
how very little Importance was any
man in this world-how soon he and
all he had don were forgotten? The

Gospel to give their time to this work
in order that IL may be thoroughly well
done. But how about 1t when they
abandon the regular ministry Of the
Word to enter secular and literary In
stitutions? In the north many distin-
guished ministers, VINO profess to be
specially called of God o preach the
everlasting and blessed Gospel OF the
Son of God, have abandoned the regu-
lar work and have taken places in lit
erary institutions. This IL really to Sec
ularize the pulpit, and make 1t second
airy to the particular work to which
the ministry themselves profess to
have been called by the Lord God
Something is wrong some where. So
common is this in the north the New
York Tribune of the 18th discussed IL
in a leading editorial. The article was
headed-"Ministers Leaving the Pull
pit" 1t made one significant remark
as follows:
1T Is not, however, colleges only
tina are today to powerfully attracting
Christian ministers. They are to be
found in increasing numbers in other
calling, more especially, perhaps, in
journalism and literature. AS a rule,
these men have all the gifts that would
enable them to do effective work for
the church"
Are they doing right? Are they ODE
diently serving God according to His
appointment? It is a movement hat
tends to obliterate all pretense of a
- = ~--1r Tho
the very power of the pulpit. The Tri-
bune seems to be satisfied and says:
Does he need to be Solemnly set
apart for this work? Very we'll, then;
so also does the other man; for what
he does may be quite as important in
it's effects on the race as is the work
of the ordained ministers. In other
words, the tendency of thought in the
churches today is to invest all voca-
tons and all work with the same sense
of religious obligation that so pre-em-
inently surrounds the minister and his
work"
If that is true then we have misread
the Bible. If true then the ministry is
! really but little better than any
j secular calling. The Congregationalist
notes the evil and says:
1.-THE same tide is taking the ablest
clergymen of the country away from
, THEN church pulpits many Sundays in
the year to serve as preachers at col
leges and universities. It las swept OF

, The Tribune winds up with this:

most serious problems Of ~present-day

The Jim Crow car as worked on

failure and Is giving decided dissatis-
faction The legislature failed to
measure up, and now IL is charged in
the newspapers OF this state that ne
railroads do not measure UP. and the
separation OF races is a frolic more
than a fact. We find the following in
The Richmond (Va-) Times:

there is no enthusiasm in North Caro-
line over the Jim Crow car. Il quotes
from a number OF state papers, show
ing that the system operates against
the whites and in favor or the blacks.
as the colored passenger has plenty OF
room in his part Of the car, while the
white passengers are crowded together.
The New Bern Journal says hat the
trouble is that the railroad companies
are opposed to the law n are trying
to make ii as odious Is possible"
The next election will try the case.
The people Of the state-the white
folks-"meant business" and they will
be sure to see TO it in 1900 and learn
"the reason Why"
There is fortunately for the good or
the people a genuine interest now in
securing good country roads-the ma
cadam kind much preferred. The in
terest steadily widens. The people are
beginning to understand why it is so
much TO their interest TO have fine,

cadan than -four good horses can move

| ing understood that it is time TO move
for better roads. and they will come.
