The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1901-11-12

The present age is filled with many
eccentric writer's who amuse or aston
ish by their deliverances. One Of these
lives in London, and he is one of the
most absurd writer's for the press in
that land filled with men and women of
fine gifts and accomplishments. We
do not recall his name but he has I'M
dertaken to reproduce in exact print
and style of writing the once famous
Rambler" of the robust DR.. Samuel
Johnson, one Of the great literary
forces in h eighteenth century. DR..
Johnson himself was not the safest
guide in poetry or criticism. Read his
able Life of the Poets" and his notes
to Shakespeare, n this will appear in
many instances. Blu he was a writer
of great parts and ne did not make
himself ridiculous either from passion
or ignorance, or prejudice. His remote
imitater has opened his guns upon Mil
ton, calling his absurd screed The
Real John Milton" Here is the close
of the attempted redicule of one of the
greatest, most massive and purest of
Englishmen in all times-the very
greatest after Shakespeare:

a discovery. 1t is that Goethe is a
greater man and genius than John Mil

Christian Endeavor Bulletin.

A Chinese EndeayOr society in San
Francisco, of forty-four present active
members, gave over $500 this year for
missions. This probably breaks the
worlds record Of a single s0ciety's gifts.
In ten minutes the Epworth League Of
Christian EndeavOr of Carman, Man.,
raised 500 for missions. This league is
going to hoe the minister's garden and
weed and water his flower beds during
his absence.
Japan is the next country to have a
Christian EndeavOr field secretary. fol-
lowing the example Of America, India,
and South Africa. Rev. ]. Inanuma, a
Methodist Protestant pastor, has been
chosen fer the place, and with head
quarters at Kobe, begins the work hope
fully. The missionaries have been most
enthusiastic in welcoming such an
auxiliary to their work.
There is a Christian Endeavor society
of over one hundred in the New Hebrides,
comp sed of men who were until recent

men, was converted. and went with Rev.

GUARD AIDED CONVICTS.
James 3. Titus Arrested and Bound Over to Appear
at the Next Term OF the Circuit Court.

James B. Titus, employed as a guard
in the prison laundry, was arrested yes
terday morning, charged with aiding
prisoners to communicate with the out
side world, in direct violation of section
2493 OF the revised statues.
A discovery was made after the mid
day meal that some Of the prisoners. had
been receiving money by some means.
and an investigation was started after
the prisoners were locked up. After
some hours work it was charged that
James B. Titus was the guilty one, and
that the prisoner whom he was aiding
was r. N. Bennett, alias W. A. Gentry, a
noted crook and desperate man. 1t also
developed that he had been CARRYING
letters to Benefits 'pal' outside the
prison, and one Of these letters was
found i'll the laundry room addressed to
an indianapolis doctor. Another was
found addressed TO Ed. NJ Mayer, a re-
leased 'pal' of Gentry.
Mr.. Titus was taken before Justice
Oliver and waived examination. He
was thereup0n bound over to appear at
the next term Of circuit court.
This is most deplOrabIe circumstance.
Mr.. Titus is Waupun boy and has al
ways been considered honorable and up
right. He came to the prison from the
Northern Hospital at Oshkosh where he
served as an attendant. He has been,
while here, a night guard, gate keeper
and was recently transferred to the
laundry. 1t is to be hoped that he
may be able to refute the charges
against him.
There have been other cases similar to
this, but no other is on record as having
been prosecuted. The penalty is from one
to two years Imprisonment or a fine of
from two to five hundred d0ilars.-Wau-
pun Times.

Cameron ". Fraser, editor and propri-
et0r Of the new publication, "The Wis
cOnSin Sugar Beet" devoted to the
growth of the sugar beet and its market
ing, was in Watert0wn Thursday. His
special object was to look over the beet
fields in this vicinity in order to deter
mine from actual observation the relative
prospects of the crop in this and adj0in-
ing counties. He went out to the How
ard farm and on his return said that the
stand and growth here was fully up to
the average anywhere considering the
hot weather and the drought. He con
siders the recent rain fall as the saliva
ti0n Of most Of the late farm crops and
especially beneficial to the beets. The
Howard 100 acre tract will be made the
subject Of an illustration in a forthc0m-
ing issue Of MIR. Fraser's new paper. He
did not forget TO call at The Republican
Office to renew old acquaintance. Mr..

whom subscriptions or enquiries in re-
gard to beet culture may be sent.

Important Labor Law.

BY the passage of the industrial arbi-
tration bill the government Of Australia
has placed a law upon the statute books
the working of which will excite inter
est throughout the whole world. This
bill not only compeIs reference Of all
disputes between employers and en-
ployes to competent court, with power
to enforce its orders and award. but
makes a strike or lockout, before or
pending such reference, misdemeanor
punishable by fine or Imprisonment.
The court which will pass upon these
disputes is to be presided over by Judge
of the supreme court and will have most
extensive powers, including the power to
declare standard wage and to direct
that, other things being equal, an en-
ployer shall give preference to unionist
over non-unionst laborers. There is no
appeal from the decisions of this court.

A Tribute to John Mitchell.

From poor, dispirted, unorganized,
suspicious, work driven people John
Mitchelrs generalship has brought forth
a hopeful, organized, trustful people,
filled with the gladness of a bettered
condition and with strength of indie
pendence. John Mitchell modestly said
that it was the people themselves who
had won the victory and improved the
working conditions. But the mine work,
ers hailed Mitchell as their general,
their leader, the man who had broken
their chains of prejudice and had pro-
claimed the bond of brotherhood. What
wonder, then, that they should set one
day in the year apart for the honor of
their hero; that every wheel should
stop and every pick lie idle and stall
wart men and weaker women and tod
ding little children should take part in
this jubilation?
Great and deep Is the eXultation of
the army leader when he comes home
from victorious wars-wars for country
and liberty-but no greater and deeper
can be that exultation than in the ST
lent, heart swelling joy of the man who
has labored to make the lives of those
about him better and brighter and who
hears the cry of gratitude. - Henry
George. Jr., in Philadelphia North

A WORkINGMAN'S RELIGION.
What a Clergyman Learned by Liv-
ing the Life of LabOrer.

What n Clergyman Learned by Liv-
ing the Life of u Laborer.
Recently at Berkeley Temple, Boston,
the Rev. George l.. McNutt spoke on
some of the discoveries he had made
when living the life of a laboring man,
for, though minister and a graduate
Of Princeton, he gave up his parish in
n university town and with his family
went into a community of factory
hands to live and earned his bread as a
laborer.
with no bank behind us and nothing
to depend upon but the $1.35 day l
could earn working in the factory or as
a carpenter digger or at other man
ual labor" he said, eve lived among
those who are known only to God, the
political boss and the saloon keeper"
He was led to take the step by motto
Ing how few of the factory employees
attended church and that in one estab-
lishment, where $50 children We're em-
ployed, only thirty-five went to Sunday
school. So he determined to throw off
his ecclesiastical millinery" as he
termed il, and study the situation as
real worllingman. He found that the
American family is undergoing dan
gerous dissolution through industrial
conditions.
He said it was a good thing to 90
about dressed like a workingman, for
nobody holds you up" and then one
can get at the real feelings and
thoughts of other working people,
which, dressed as preacher, he never
could have learned.
One of his needs which is shared by
other workingmen, was for music, but
all he could hear was in beer garden,
n saloon or when a funeral procession
passed by, and, he said, II had no de-
sire to Join either" One of his fellow
workers, in speaking of the drink habit
so common among the factory employ
ees, said, 81 seldom go into a saloon eX
cept for the music" Mr.. McNutt said
how much better it would be to give
music to those who are hungry for it,
instead of to those who are tired of 1t
because they have so much of it.
In praising the good qualities of the
workingman he said a nurse whose oc-
cupation takes her into the city streets
at all hours of the night had told him
she meyer was afraid of a man with
dinner pail, for he would not disturb
woman ON the streets. In closing Mr..
McNutt said when God created man he
put him into the garden as working
man; his son came on earth as a carpen-
ter and religion is the worllingman's
first, last and always, and we must find
some way to bring him back to his
own. We have not met the changed
conditions of modern industry. When
we have, we shall find the working
man ready to worship the Christ who
was Il carpenter.
