~ rapid evolution and
~ ascension of progress,
the mind OF the American citizen re-
verts with keen brightness and I'M
diminished interest to the days OF '76
when our vigorous forefathers essayed
to become of themselves free and
independent people and gave birth to
republic, the pride and admiration
OF every nation and source OF peace,
prosperity and happiness to we who
are so honored as to be under the pro-
lection OF the emblamatic stars and
stripes.
Then when strong hearts We're con-
vulsed in dread by reason OF the tenn
pestuous times and uncertainty there
emerges figure glowing strong and
ruddy in the bonfres OF Bunker Hill,
bold and defiant on the ice bound
Delaware, now with the carnage and
bloody struggles OF war, and now the
sunlight shines on the wooded glen,
his Mt. Vernon home, surrounded by
childhood's happy laughter, peace and
contentment, this patriotic citizen,
courageous soldier, the father of our
country, George Washington.
Reared amid the rustic beauties of
old Virginia under the solicitious
hand of loving mother, there awak-
ened early in his mind natures teach
ing that all men were created free and
equal. A dutiful son and studious
boy, brave, true man, dignified,
learned president OF the United States,
Ae lies in an honored grave under the
stately elms OF his Virginia home.
His people rejoice that he lived, his
name is written for eternity on Free
dom's scroll and in the annals OF his
tory, not with an eloquent and loqua-
cious pen, but burned in the souls OF
men and will go through future years
untarnished. Words of tribute and
songs of praise are but slight tokens
of the acknowledgment accorded the
man. His patieut face fingers in
memory's hall as an aureole crowned
with o garland.

1t is fatal to the power exer cised
by the newspapers and journals of the
country by their frequent lapses into
sensationalism and coloring and Grip
pling OF truths and facts. 1t is to be
deplored that the reporter who can
produce two columns of fowery elo-
quence originated by his own mind
and drawn out by the strength Of his
pen and imagination can and does
draw a larger salary than the man
who hustles after facts and figures
and produces trite, clean article, free
- from bungling words and shallow
sentiment. When papers begin to
get little lax on facts and strong on
windy arguments people begin to lose
confidence and they are socn Obliged
to take on a different class of sub
scrlbers or go without. Dependence
and stability are the fundamentals
necessary 10 the longevity of newpap-
ers. Too much copying of yellow
journalism creeps into the daily and
the results are that Diamond Dick"
and "Rough and Ready followers
who peruse the pages, astride dry
goods box or high stool, begin to take
an active interest aud when the sub
scription Of the old farmer or mer-
chant whohas stood by the paper for
years, expires, he discontnues, not

her husband claims he has spent sew

FOUGHT FOR GOLD TOOTH
Robinson Uses His Knife in Revenge
for Stolen Masticator

Somebody stole George Robinson's gold
tooth, which was the direct cause this
morning OF the turbulent billows of the
coast casting trouble upon the Police De-
partment and caused OFFICERS Shields and
Pierce to arrest three young and healthy
c0lored residents Of that uncertain part
of the city. 1t was when the two officers
saw tho three colored men tumbling out
of Meginnis' saloon, and two of them
brandishing knives, that they knew
something was doing"
The vigilant police captured the excited
trio ana found that George Robinson and
Robert Hynson were attempting to make
mincemeat out of Harry Mccain. Rob
inson had succeeded in slashing the left
side of McCanns coat into ribbons, and
making a bad cut in his right hand.
Hynson did not set to show his pro-
fciency in carving owing TO the prompt
action of the police and the agility OF
McCann.
The men were placed in the City Hall
ana will have a hearing this evening.

Department of Elections Immediately
after work at the poles mas been fin

them to the mercy of ballOt-bOX suffers

the very issuance Of the order which

LAW REGARDING
TRUSTEES ACTIVE
The Measure Was Signed
by the Governor on
March 2

The impression that the act con-
cerning the election of trustees by re-
ligioul societies passed at the late
session Of the General Assembly was
not enrolled, and therefore did not
come a law, is a mistake. II was en-
rolled. was signed by the president pro
TEN of the Senate and the speaker of
the House, and was approved by Gov
ernor Hum. The governor affixed his
signature March ?.
The act restores the following pro-
visions Of chapter 80 of the revised
code. which were repealed February 9,
1899: such trustees (of religious so
cieties) shall be elected at q public
meeting OF the society or congregation,
held at their usual place of worship, on
ten days notice by advertisements at
the front door OF such place, and by a
plurality Of votes Of the members pres
ent"
During the last two years, while the
above provisions did not exist, the
trustees of religious societies were
elected according to the manner pre-
scribed in the discipline, rules and
regulations of the denominations with
which the societies are connected,
which applies to churches in States
where the election of trustees is not
provided for by State law.
The objection to the appeal of the
provisions Of chapter 80 of the revised
code was that it enabled the pastors tc
appoint the trustees, and that it gave
the congregations no voice in the mat
ter Many church people. Methodist
especially, will rejoice in the fact that
the provisions that existed previous tC
February Q, 1899, have been restored.
