discovery that the school board had
been and still were directed in their
duty relative TO proper text book on
morals, and had petitioned the board
to put the Bible at the head of the list
of text books. and requested that pro-
per portions-a chapter or less of the
New Testament be read consecutively
each day in order to facilitate the pu-
pills moral training, they would not
have transcribed their rights, and Mr..
Billiard could have had no valid objec-
ton only through showing himself to be
an enemy to Christian civilization and
good government.
But from Mr.. Billiards. affidavit this
is not the case, so the courts must pass
upon case ofreligious tyranny, the rival
in principle of any age.
If the minist erial union is anxious to do
something fer the rising generation let
them see to it that every boy and every
least. and that every proper effort be made
to induce them to read it so that they
may know for themselves what God has
to say.to them about their relation to Him
and their relation to their companions. and
they ought to steal, let them steal. or that
they ought TO lie, let them lie: or that
they ought to hate their companions, let
them hate. etc. But there is not one man
in a thousand but knows that the Bible
wickedest man on earth will be transform-
ed into as good a saint as ever entered
heaven by following its teachings.
In view of these facts let the members
of the Ministerial union, and all other
form themselves in human duplicates OF
Jesus Christ, whom they claim TO repre-
sent, so that the children read of the
Christ character in the book they will see
il in the men. then they will surely be-
lieve that what they read means some
thing. This will save the Ministerial union
from any further trouble with boards of
education, etc.
In conclusion I wouI say that Mr.. Bill
lard's son must have Bible as text
book on morals, and that he must read
with the balance of the school under
school regulations that portion of the
Scripture assigned for each day, as he
r ads in the school reader, as a lesson on
morals. Beyond that he is perfectly free
to do as he pleases, so he in no sense in
terferes with those about him who may
wish to engage in religious devotions.
Over the moral training of the rising
generation the school authorities have
perfect control. but over their religion no
man has control. If those who profess TO
be religious will show by their Hves-the
only tangible evidence they can give-that
they are what they profess to be. there
will be no trouble about the religion of
the rising generation. II. c. LYONS.

Pretty Mountain Lass Stops an
Old Trouble
BY Marrying Man Accused OF
Double Murder.

Many a Battle Between West
Virginia Factions.
ROMANCE WINS OUT.

HodgenvilIe, KY, March 1.-THE
Shipp-Horton feud, on the Ridge" in
Marion county, is at an end, and pretty
Mary Ship, a mountain lass of 16
summers, is the heroine to pretty ro-
nance, which is the sequel to a series
of tragedies that were the outcome of
a notorious vendetta in the vicinity of
Mt Washington, Marion county, for rs
years.
At the little Mt. Washington church,
the scene of many a feudal battle, and
where many members of the two oppos-
ing factions have died with their boots
on" Mary Ship gave her heart and
hand to Clarence Shipp, a youth of IL
years, who only last week was acquit-
ted in the Marion county circuit court
of a charge of cold blooded double muir
der.
On a still morning last July two rifle
shots rang out clear and sharp on the
Ridge and Richard Horde and Dave
Allen, two members of the Horton fac
ton, fell dead on the public highway.
Clarence Shipp was accused, and the
rattle of musketry and the grouping of
clans told the neighborhood folk that
the revival of the old feud was at hand
Then it was that this pretty mountain
heroine straddled her steed and can
vassed the Ridge for peace
crinle,'' said the Horton faction. Mary
promised. and the next day young
Shipp, with his gun shouldered, march
ed into town and surrendered. 1t was
certain death, his enemies said. Friends
he had none, since it was considered
better that one feudist died for the sake
of peace. One only remained true, and
| day after day, Mary Shipp trod through
| the snow and ice and the sleet from
her humble home on the Ridge" down
to the county Jail to take dainty things

forsaken lad, who had offered to face
| death for peace
Last week his trial came, and evil
dence seemingly dark and overwhelm-
| ing against the lad was introduced
when his only friend. the lass, took the
stand, and the youth was acquitted.
Arm in arm the two marched back tc
the Ridge" and at the little Mt Wash

TRIPLETS ~ YEARS.
Three Pennsylyanians to Cele-
brate Their Birthday.

Baltimore, March 1.-THE triplet sons
of Mr.. and Mrs. Ephrain Price, of
Hereford, Baltimore county, will cele-
brate their forty-second birthday to-
morrow. These men are probably the
oldest triplets, all males, in this coun-
try Their names are Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob Price. Jacob Price lives at
1901 North Mount street. Isaac Price is
principal of the public school at Reyn-
oldstown, Md. and Abraham Price is a
salesman and lives at Westminster,
Md. Physicians say that cases of trip
let's of the same sex, living TO the prime
of life, are so rare as to be considered
remarkable.
The Prices were born in York county,
Pennsylvania. There are nine children
in the family, including the triplets, all
of whom are living and in excellent
health. Abraham and Isaac Price each
have three children, and Jacob Price
has two children, both boys.
The parents of the triplets are hale
and hearty, and recently celebrated the
golden anniversary of their wedding.
Mrs. Price is 70 years old, and Mr.. Price
is two years her senior

The DRUMMER NUISANCE.
Temperance Union Will Discuss How
It Can Be Stopped.

One of the questions to be discussed
at the coming annual convention of the
State Temperance Union was touched
last week in a supreme court decision
1t is, How shall the liquor drummer
nuisance be stopped?" The recent decis-
ion is not encouraging to the temper
ance people, as it permits travelling
statesmen to take orders in the state for
liquor, on the ground that such orders
are subject to the approval of the mer-
chant outside of the state who is to fill
the orders.
The temperance people are Thus
brought face to face with the provision
of the federal constitution giving con-
gress the power to regulate interstate
commerce, and they will consider very
thOughtfully how this difficulty may be
met The convention of the temperance
union which meets May 8 and will
bring out opinions this subject of
some of the most prominent ten per-
ance workers in the state.

BIBLE IN THE SCHOOLS.
Correspondent Considers the Limit OF
Mans Control Over the Bible.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
In your issue of February 10 is an
article relative to the controversy over
the Bible in the public schools of your
city between Mr.. J. B. Billiard and the
board of education, which involves a
general law governing mans rights
relative to the Bible about which 1 wish
to make a few remarks.
The first question, then, that / would
ask is, to whom does the Bible belong?
for the ownership is the vital question
in the controversy that must first be
settled.
If you know of any one man, or set
of men, who own and have exclusive
control of the Bible, please give their
names, for it would be very interesting
to the public to know who they are.
You see at once the utter absurdity
of this suggestion, yet it brings out
clearly the fact that in this free coun-
try, at least the Bible belongs to all
men alike, it belongs to no one, and
nothing can be clearer than these facts,
yet here is a controversy over it. But
why?
This is better understood when we
remember that the Bible sustains dual
relation to the human family, the re-
.ligious, and the moral, and is accented
as authority on both relations.
Now comes the question, What is the
nature and limit of any mans power or
authority relative to these two points
We will consider the latter first.
II IS a cOnceQeQ IdcL all ndnQS~ That
the Bible inculcates the highest STAN
dard of morals of any book known. This
being true, it goes for the saying, that
the first duty of the guardian of the
education of the youth, is to see to it,
that the best book of morals stands at
the head of the list of text books, and
that it receive the first attention, for
without morals man is about as
valueless an animal as lives, no matter
how much education he may have; in
deed, without morals : his education
only initiates against the end sought
by it's acquisition. Then it is of the
utmost Importance, that the youth,
especially of our day, when there are so
many parents that are Indifferent on
this point, should be taught correct
morals, which should begin in early
childhood, and where, I ask, is there
any better place to do this than the
! public school, And I will go farther
! and say that under psychic law, no
/ teacher ought to be allowed in the pub
! lie school room with less than ire
| proa enable morals.
| Because morals are taught from the
Bible cuts no figure. 1t is the best thai
! the welfare of society demands, and
| when the legal authorities act thai
| should be the end of 1t, unless it can be
shown that their actions are not con
ducive to that end. Besides, there is ne
| man not a fit candidate for the peni
Tertiary or lunatic asylum who want:
| his boy or girl to grow up with an i'm
1 moral character, which will be the cas-
! if not diligently taught correct morals

There is being erected on the corner
Of Ontario and Howard streets, a
church which is the first of it's kind
to be established in Philadelphia. It
will be known as the First Church of
the Latter Day Saints, and here will
worship the followers of Joseph Smith
and believers in the Book of Mormon.
vefend w. a. La Rue and Elder
George w. Robley administer jointly
to the spiritual welfare of a congre-
cation Of over 100 persons. The new
church is an imposing edihce Of stone
and brick which cost $1,000 to erect
and which will comfortably seat 500
persons. The pastor expects the con-
~gregation to double its numbers this
winter; already he has gained new
converts, and although the Mormon
doctrines and all who follow them
were at first severely condemned by
the cloth and the laiety Of this city,
those who listen to the faith set forth
by Mr.. La Rue find very little to cen
sure, many Of the principles being
strictly orthodox.
The members of the congregation,
although they adhere to the doctrines
Of Joseph Smith, have little or nothing
in common with the Mormons of
Utah. They look upon the teachings
of Brigham Young as a deflement of
the sacred doctrines of the true Nor
mons.

DOCTORS IN MADAGASCAR.

The French Are Establishing Free Dis
pensary Service Throughout the Island.
The French have just begun to carry
out a great work Of humanity in Mad
agascar. Medical missionaries were
until recently the only doctors in the
island. The governor general several
years ago established a school of med
ieine and a hospital at the capital. The
medical school has already turned out
fifteen native physicians who have
proved themselves competent to prac-
tice medicine. With his white medi-
cal staff and the intelligent natives
who are being trained to practice med
icine, the governor general now ex-
poets widely to extend the service.
He has therefore decreed that all
branches of the medical service in the
island shall be consolidated in one or
ganization and that hospitals similar
to that in Antananarivo, where 1875
sick persons may be accommodated at
one time, and where free medical SER
vice is dispensed to applicants num-
bering 100 to $50 q day, shall be es-
tablished in the larger towns. Many
natives trained for medical service
