BEST TO PAY HONEST DEBTS.
Rev. w. A. Nisbet's Sermon at Law
ton Memorial Last Night.


Rev. w. A. Nisbet preached at Lawton
Memorial last night upon the subject,
Shall We Pay Our Debts?" The afirma-
tive answer he streng hened with argu-
ments drawn from the domains Of both
morally and exDedlency.
Not only, he said, is the payment of
every just debt in accordance with the
precepts of righteousness and the die
tates of conscience, but it is actually the
bsst policy The creditor Is always willing
TO help the honest debtor, and when the
creditor sees that his debtor is nervtrfg
every effort to pay the debt will not press
him to his fall Not only is it to the adj
vantage of individuals that al debts
should be honestly discharged but 1t is
10 the advantage Of the community, for
merchants find it necessary 10 add TO the
price Of their goods ten or fifteen per
cent for the bad debts they cannot DOL
lest. This add ional cost must be paid by
The honest debtor.
Mr.. Nisbet said that the way to avoid
being unable 10 pay debts was simple
live within the income that each man
has, and never contract an Obligation
when 1t is prcblemadc whether or not IL
can be discharged promptly.

RAN THROUGH A HOUSE.
A Family Surprised by n Fugitive
Negro and His Pursurer.

Negro and His Pursurer.
Turner Cspps, colored, was captured
yesterday by officer F. ]. Smith after a
chase that was quite interesting and de-
cldedly out of the ordinary. About 8
O'Clock the officer was notified that a
drunken negro was making himself gen.
orally obnoxious in the ndghborhood of
Harris and Linccln streets.
The officer started for the scene of the
trouble, but when he had arrived within
the sight of the negro, The latter made a
dive for the nearest way of escape, which
happened to bel the back stairway of a
residence. The officer following hot on
the trail Having started up the steps,
the negro, IL he expected to make coed
his escape, had no option but TO cont nue.

the ''goosey. goosey, gander' of legend
AIRY l-re, he wandered not only up stairs,
and down stairs, but on through hall, I'd
room, parlcr and down the steps of the
front stoop, the officer following close
upon his heels.
To say that the tenant of the house was
surprised by the hasty entrance and exit
CT this strange procession would be ex-
pressing mildly what were doubtless her
real feelings, but the officer had no time
to stop and explain, so followed the ne
gro Half a block away he caught the
fugitive, who naively explained "he sidn' t
mean no harm, but jist wanted TO git
away"
A charge Of being drunk and disorderly
was entersd against him at the barracks,
and he win make his explanations to Re-
corder Hartridge this morning.

AGAINST ALL GAMBLING.
Rev. Robb white CondemRs the vice
in All It's Forms.

in All It's Forms.
At Christ Church yesterday morning
Rev. Robb White preached a sermon
against gambling. The sermon was not
directed particularly against the public
gambling, which has been much discussed
of late, but against all forms of gambling.
All men are gamblers by nature, Rev.
Mr. White said, and the nature Of en-
couraging this tendency in any form was
strongly dweIt upon. Mr.. White expressed
his strong disapproval of the gambling
frequently conducted at church fairs and
at other fairs not held for church pur-
poses, as tending TO inculcate and develop
the gambling spirit.
Public gambling, and its liberation by
the authorities in any form, was con-
demned by Mr.. White in the strongest
terms AS evidence of the ruin wrought
by the public gambling establishments he
referred to the unfortunate end of the
late DR.. Sherrard r. Tabb and the har-
rowing circumstances which attended his
decease The suicide by drowning of Har-
ley S. Westcott, the young purser of one
of the steamship lines, was also men,
toned.
The sermon was somewhat OF surprise
to Mr.. Whites congregation, as he had
given no intimauon of his intentions on
this line. Asked after the service If the
sermon had any bearing upon the political
situation, Mr.. White said: II never have
anything to do with politics. The sermon
was prepared in 1891.
