American and German Yays.

In Germany it may be said that the
tendency is to make better workmeD;
in America and England the tendency
is to make better men. The Anglo
Saxon policy Is TO cast the bantlng
on the rock aud let him work out bis
own salvation through temptation. In
Germany the policy is quite the re-
verse; the workman is protected from
disciplining temptation. and ruled in a
thousand ways by the Government in
stead of being allowed TO rule him
self. American discipline is from with
in, German from without. The Ger
man work man is without hope even in
religion, for ii is rare that u German
workman is ever seen in church after
confirmation; he has before him no
possible career III politics. nor any hope
of becoming a Carnegie or Hunting
ton. Consequently he is without am
hition TO do his work faster or by bet
ter methods: he IS content to do what
his father did. without thinking though
the aIl-seeing Government is making
herculeau efforts through its scores Of
technical and industrial Scholastic
best in the world-to stir him from
his Stolid and precedent bound lethargy.
The German workman is slow. there
fore his wages are small II is less
expensive in Germany to hire muscle
than il is to install expensive machin-
cry. Therefore in All sorts of Ger
man manufacturing establishments Que
sees clouds of workmen bending their
backs to burdens which in America
are borne swiftly, uoiselessly. and
more cheaply by electricity OF steam

Several nights ago coming dCwntown

OF the ordinary and caused smiles on
every body's face.
The car was crowded and the rear
platform was filed with people. About
halfway down three pretty girls got Oh

He Got His Tip.

Bird Slaughter Unchecked

The plume trade remains apparently
untouched by the appeals and efforts
of the Society for the Protection of
Birds, which has now been carrying on
its work since the beginning of the
year 1889.
Osprey and bird of paradise plumes
still figure as largely as ever in London,
but what the society considers the most
repellant feature of bird adornment
this season has been in the use of
gulls' wings, a revival of that fashion

Morrison GOOdSOn Dead.

Morrison Goodson, a well-known
farmer living in the Grandin neigh
borhood, was shot by negro named
r. H. Wilson near Putnam Hall last
Saturday night. He fingered until
Thursday noon when he died from
the effects of his wounds. Goodson
leaves IL wife and seven children.
Goodson and the negro had some
words at Putnam Hall in the morn
lug of Saturday and both separated
in bad humor. The negro and his
brother spent the day in Palatka,
returning at night. Mr.. Goodson and
little son were driving to Grandin
and at about O'Clock in the evening
met the negro on the road, when the
quarrel was renewed. Both drew
pistols and exchanged shots, those of
Goodson not doing any harm. One
shot from the negro's pistol struck
Mr.. Goodson in the bowels, and
the physician attending him pro-
nOunced the wound fatal.
After the shooting the negro ran
from the scene and toward Putnam
Hall. A party was soon organized
and on his track, Overtaking him at
IL negro church two miles from thai
place. He was ordered to throw up
his hands, but instead of doing so
reached for his pistol, when w. w.
G. Wall fired two loads of buckshot
into his breast, killing him instantly.
A coroner's jury has eXonerated
Wall. The pistol found on the neg
ro's body was a new one, evidently
purchased that day in anticipation
of making trouble.

Rev. j. w. MacGregOr, d. ID.

After an illness of two weeks DR..
MacGregor has passed away. Last
Saturday at $3.50 p. m. the end came.
Funeral services We're held at his
late residence on the Heights, Mon
day afternoon, in the presence of a
large concourse of his sincere friends
and admirers. Rev. r. l.. Honiker,
pastor of the st. James Methodist
Church, conducted the service. as
sisted by Revs. Il. P. Hay and n. }.
Tilghman.
The body of the deceased was sent
to Oxford, Ohio, where final inter-
ment will be made.
Hundreds of hearts will long to
place chaplet of love on his grave,
but there will be none to mourn his
departure as sincerely as those who
were taught the way of life from his
lips and his life.
He combined in himself, with the
sterner virtues, the softer graces Of
modesty and patience. Those who
knew him best are his strongest eulo-
gists, and those among whom he
died will cherish the memory of his
unaffected piety. Guileless, ap-
proachable, sympathetic, he drew to
himself those of like nature with his
own. His self-control enabled him
to meet disappointment as Chris
tian and Il man. His heart was al
ways warm with IL love for truth and
goodness.
The example Of such man cannot
be lost; the value of life like his
in its influence for good cannot be
computed. He was a valiant soldier
of the truth; the brightness of bis
arlnor was never furnished, but threw
back to the sight of men as he sank
! to rest, the level beams of the Sun OF
Righteousness as divinely as when in
the splendor of the morning on which
he caught the first rays of that ear
lier rising.
A Christian gentleman-such was
he. A crowned conqueror, such now
he is.
The tenderest sympathy is felt for
the stricken survivors, and many
earnest prayers will doubtless as
cpnd for heaven g comfort for them.
r. l.. HONIKER.
