There is one country in the world

smoke. Abyssinia is thn r.gion, and
the law forbidding tobacco dates from

intended to prevent priests from smok-

CHURCH CONFEDERATION.
An Important hfeeting-ro What
Will ii Lead.

At meeting of religious work.
ers at Columbus, O., on April 8,
steps were taken for federation OF
all the Protestant churches and
Christian workers of Ohio.
These denominations were rep
resentated at the conferences Meth.
odist, Presbyterian, Baptist, Con-
gregational, Lutheran, Reformed
and Episcopal.
The object of the proposed feder-
alton is to bring the various de-
nominations into close utilization
in the work, in which all have a
common interest.
One of The objects is to prevent
the overlapping of the work of the
churches in any community and ia
prevent such multiplicity OF
churches as to cripple all of those
of community. Now some fields
are overcrowded and others neg
lected because each denomination
shifts for itself. 1t would be one
aim to see that the pastors of all
denominations were notified, enc by
another, of any person of given
denomination who should happen
in at a church not of his denomi-
nation that the proper pastor
might extend to him an invitation.
All pastors of all denominations
would make united effort to con
vert all now outside the church by
taking up individual cases syste-
matically
There would also be a co-opera
tion in all charitable work in a
community
A committee was selected by the
confederation to carry on cam
paign for federation. This com
mittee will devote itself to bringing
the subiectNe,ore the various de,
nominations, by correspondence
personal visits and agitation at the
various UNCONVENTIONAL meetings
Columbus will be made the head
quarters from which this work will
be conducted.

POETRY AND PEARLS"

During the season Of 1899 1900
Hon. ALI Taylor delivered his lect-
ure entitled Poetry and Pearls"
in about seventy five cities and
towns of the South and Southwest,
and its success was so instantane-
Gus and universal as to place him
at once among the foremost Ameri-
can platform entertainers. Calls
for the repetition of this lecture
have been so numerous that Mr..
Taylor has decided to present it
during the season of 1901.
Poetry and Pearls" in brief, is
the song of optimism.-M o b e

Poetry and Pearls" charmed
every one; it is simply a master

WHY MARK TWAIN SUCCEEDS
Hatred of Sham and Pretense Is the
Secret, Says This Authority.

Mark Twain's literary hold on the
world is so innocent of all tradition
.and logic that the challenge to ex-
plain the situation is an irresistible
one to those who talk about him or
write about him, though it does not
particularly worry people when they
read him. The gentlemen who'haye
made a study Of such matters have
said his literary style is naught; that
his stories are i'll constructed, accord
ing to the esthetic standards; that
his travel sketches are inconsequen-
tial and sorappy; that his historical
novels do not create the atmosphere
of their time, and SO forth-yet these
same gentlemen do not deny that he
is a great writer, nor do they pretend
TO withstand his fascination. In
deed, says the Review of Reviews,
Mark Twain is curiously fortunate in
his ability to hold the attention of the
men who make books and writing
their business, as well as men who
have no interest whatever in books
or reading except when the interest
is compelled by such an irresistible
person as Mr.. Clemens.
This cannot be for the mere rea-
son Of Mark Twain's humor, al
though such inimitable humor is a
platform on which very varied types
and grades of intellect may meet con-
genially. 1t must be because the
keynote Of everything Mr. Clemens
writes is his enmity to sham, hypoc-
risy and pretense--a note vibrating
the fibers Of manliness in every reader
and because, whether he is a good
novel writer ornot, he is a born story
teller, with the highest art Of typical
American 1aconteur. with all his in
tuiuye and acquired knowledge Of
human nature, his cool mastery of eli
makes and his audacity 1t is his
distinction that he is so thoroughly
the American There is no meridian
of his country that he does not know,
whose people he does not understand,
whose life he has not lived. Hecomes
to his subject, be ID European ca
thedral or a village schoolboy or an
absurd sentimeniality, with the cool,
healthy, vigorous bearing Of a man
born and bred in the atmosphere Of
work and fact, where trihing or false
hood means disaster. 1t has been re-
marked more than once how suggos-
tive of the American eagle are Mr..
Clemens bearing, his piercing eye
and falcon profile.

Snow Storm.

On last Tuesday one Of the worst
snow storms in recent years was
raging in Wyoming. Reports
show that thousands of cattle and
sheep have been lost. One ranch
alone lost $500 head of cattle and
anothes lost 5000 sheep. All the
small ranchmen in Western Nebras
ka and South Dakota and Eastern
Wyoming have lost heavily. The
temperature was near zero.

Permitting a Nuisance.

In indictments against the city
of Owensboro for maintaining an
unclesn city prison, and against
the Mayor and Council individually
for permitting the nuisance, Circuit
Court Judge Owen rendered two
important rulings. He sustained
the demurrers to both indictments,
holding that municipalities and ofli-
GERS are cot subject to Indictment
for such offences. The case against
the city was abated, and an appeal
taken by Commonwealth in the
case against the Mayor and Coun-
Gilman.

NATURAL GAS

or two will quicken the desire of
Mt. Sterling people to encourage
