Live Up to Your Faith.

Be the noblest man that your present
faith poor and weak and imperfect
as it, is, can make you be. Live up to
your present growth, your present
faith. So, and SO only, as you take
the next straight step forward. Live
in your positives and not in your mega
tives. am tired of asking man
what his religious faith is and hav-
ing him tell me what he doesn't be-
lieve. He tells me that he doesn't be,
lieve in baptism or inspiration or in
the trinity. If l asked man where he
was going and he told me he was not
going to Washington, how could | know
where he was goingY He would not
go anywhere so long as he simply
rested in that mere negative. Be done
with saying what you don't believe
and find somewhere or other the
truest, divinest thing to your soul that
you do believe to-day, and work that
out work it out in all the action and
conservation of the soul in the doing
of your work. This | take to be the
real freedom of Christian thought
when the man goes toward always into
fuller and fuller belief as he becomes
obedient to that which he already
holds. Phillips Brooks.

The Reports.

Washington, Dec. 13-The report of
the Schley court of inquiry was pro-
mulgated by Secretary Long tonight: !:
There are two reports. Admirals
Benham and Ramsey concur in the
first, which is sigend by Admiral
Dewey also as a matter of form. Ad-
miral Dewey makes a separate report,
although he agrees with the finding
of the fact subscribed to by the others.
The majority report condemns Admiral
Schley on eleven points, while Ad-
miral Dewey sustains him in most
particulars.
The majority opinion finds in brief,
that Admiral Schley should have pro-
ceeded with the utmost dispatch to
Cienfuegos and maintained close
blockade; that he should have en-
deavored to obtain information of the
Spanish squadron there; that he should
have proceeded to Santiago with dis
patch; that he should not have made
the retrograde movement; that he
should have obeyed the department S
orders that he should have endeavored
to capture the Spanish vessels in
Santiago harbor that he did not do
his utmost to destroy the Gloon; that
he caused the squadron to lose distance
in the loop of the Brooklyn; that he
thereby caused the Texas to back; that
he did injustice to Hodgson; that his
conduct in the campaign was charac-
terized by vacillation, dilatoriness and
lack of enterprise; that his official re
ports on the coal supply were mislead
ing: that his conduct during the battle
was self possessed and that he en-
couraged in his own person his sub
ordinate officers and men.
Admiral Dewey, in his report, says
that the passage to Cienfuegos was
made with all dispatch that in view
of his coal supply the blockade OF
Cienfuegos was effective; that he al
lowed the Adula to enter Cienfuegos
10 get information; that his passage
TO Santiago was with as much dispatch
as possible, keeping the squadron &c
gether: that the blockade of Santiago
was effective. and. finally. that he
was the senior officer oft Santiago. in
absolute command. and entitled to tn,
credit due for the glorious victory
which resulted in the total destruction
of the Spanish ship.

Live Lizard in Stomach.

Memphis Dec. 13..-Of late Miss
Florence Buchanan of Madison county
has had serious trouble and she could
not locate the seat of her discomfort.
Eminent physicians were summoned to
administer to her relief, but all efforts
failed until yesterday, when the cause
materiallzed in the form of six-inch
lizard cast from the young woman s
stomach. The reptile was alive when
thrown uD. The symptoms attending
this case were most trying nausea and
continual uneasiness about the
stomach. Various theories were ad-
vanced and almost every physician in
his section had diagnosed the case
aud to all it was puzzle. and when
the lizard made its appearance the
physicians were as greatly surprised
as was the young woman. Miss
Buchanan is now much improved.

A Nightmare.

Here is a definition which is as
difficult to read rapidly as Peter
Piper picked peck of picked pep
pers, and yet it is more sensible. In
fact, it is an actual statement of facts.
as YOU will find if you read it slowly
"A sleeper is one who sleeps. A
sleeper is that in which sleeper
sleeps. A sleeper is that on which the
sleeper runs while the sleeper sleeps
Therefore, while the sleeper sleeps in
the sleeper, the sleeper carries the
sleeper over the sleeper under the
sleeper until the sleeper which carries
the sleeper jumps the sleeper and
wakes the sleeper in the sleeper by
striking the sleeper under the sleeper
on the sleeper, and there is no longer
any sleeper sleeping in the sleeper on
the sleeper. National Advocate.

certain lines in State politics.

EXPERT SAFE-OPENER.
A Louisville Man Who Defies Steel
and Com binations.

The Louisville Courier journal saws
Jack Sage, safe expert, was arrested
Yesterday afternoon at Sixth and Main
streets on the charge of being drunk.
Sage is known to his friends as
Happy Jack. "
Sage's speciality is opening safes, and
he has reputation that il more than
local Happy Jacks" boast is that
the safe was never made that he could
not open And chisels. iimmies, dyna-
mite and sledge hammers are not this
implements with which he operates.
He uses only his hands and ears.
Long practice has made his sense of
hearing remarkably keen
He kneels before the door when he
attempts to open a safe. His ear is
pressed against the STEEL waiting for
the first tumbler to drop. His left
hand is placed upon the knob. He
turns it slowly; sometimes the hun
dredth part of an inch. He is ON the
alert to catch the first sound of the
tumblers falling, and which would
indicate that the solution of the COM
.bination had been started
Main street business men know him
well. Often they lose their combina-
tions and when they arrive at their
places Of business they are unable to
open their safes. Happy jack is
sent for and usually it requires only
d few minutes for him to solve the
combination and swing back the safe
door.
One street merchant known for
his stinginess once sent for Sage. The
combination was in drawer when he
left at night and it was gone the next
morning. Happy Jack got down
in front of the safe and for an hour he
turned the knob. Finally he was sue
cessful, and the safe was opened.
How muchT' inquired the mer
chant.
Ten dollars, answered the expert.
"Ten dollars2 Why, man, there are
lots OF fellows who would work week
for that much. It's exorbitant and ]
won t pay it. "
Happy Jack" was before the safe
in moment. The heavy door swung
to, and the merchant heard the click
of the combination.
''Now, then, it's locked. Go and
get $10-aweek man to open it.
The merchant began to haggle, and
Sage raised the price.
Twenty five, or she don't open.
And | gee the check in advance.
And the merchant surrendered.
Thieves have long had their eye on
Happy Jack" F." They figure that any
safe in the country would be at theil
service if they could induce the saf'
expert to join them, but Happy
Jack is an honest man.
1t is said that band was recently
organized and that an offer was mad,
to Sage. 1t was we'll organized ;
manager, All advance man, bank with
stock paid up to get them out o
trouble if they were arrested, and Sag
was to be the star of the aggregation.
But Sage is honest, and he would hav'
none of it.
Sage learned what he knows abou
safes in a foundry where they wer
cast He is familiar with every par
of their mechanism.

WINTERS ICY GRASP.
The Mercury Comes Very Near Touch

Saturday and Sunday we're almost
record-breakers for cold December
weather. The mercury began tumb-
ling at rapid rate Saturday, and
Old Winters icy grasp was felt every

Government therm om eter at Rains
drug store registered degree above zero,
and thermometers In other localities
went little below that point. 1t was
icy cold all day Sunday, and old Sol's
attempts at thawing availed but little.
Sunday night the lowest official regis

possemen thirty miles east of here.
A man taken with him at the same
time, the police believe, is George Par
ker, alias Butch Cassidy, alias George
Cassidy, alias Ingerfeld, although it
will perhaps take Pinkerton man,
who will'arrive in day or two, to de-
eide certainly. The man answers Par
ker's description very accurately

policemen, spent Friday night at the
house of farmer, four miles from
town, and yesterday travelled twenty
six miles farther east, where he camped

ing, by appointment, it is thought, the
man supposed to be Parker To-day
the two went into jefferson City, a
hamlet, to procure food. Citizens rec
ognized the pair and the supposed Par
ker was captured quickly. Logan
broke and ran, but was overhauled a
mile away by five men with shotguns
and Winchesters aud brought back
Another lot of the bank notes were
found on the person of Logan. When
searched little more than 50, 900 in
twenties was found sewed on the inside
of his shirt.
Logan and the supposed Parker were
brought to Knoxville tonight and the
former narrowly escaped the vengeance
of mob for shooting down the two
local policemen.
