A PERFUME CONCERT.

Carnegie lyceum on Oct. ii, ian exper-

scents will be squirted about the hall

perfumes are being squirted.
The persons in charge of the arrange
ments for the occasion have this to
say:
1T is a well known scientific fact
that odors excite impressions in the
human mind not unlike those produced
by music.
Every one has experienced that
smell suddenly appreciated, perhaps of
come flower that grew In the old home
stead where we spent our childhood
days, sends back ones train of thought
to scenes Of the past more rapidly and
more wildly than any other art medi-
UNI. 1t seems strange that sense so
easily excited has been left in print
tive and dormant state, as our olfac-
tory nerves undoubtedly could be cult.
waited to such an extent that an artists
manipulation of perfumes would yield
aesthetic pleasures similar to music or
pictorial art
THAT this has never been accom-
plished has been due largely to the
lack Of an apparatus capable Of driv-
ing odors forcibly enough into an au-
dience and Of producing precise i'm
pressions even at great distances.
"Such an apparatus has been invent
ed lately, and the first perfume social
will demonstrate how far perfumes
can be combined to an artistic entity
similar to melody or a piece of de-
scriptive music. 1t will remain for the
audience to decide whether the at
tempt has been a successful one"

An EnRlish Sanctuary.

Beverley minister, $50 miles north Of
London, is the shrine of st. John of

staying; it was open to all wrongdoers
except those who had been guilty Of
treason. For ordinary offenses, such
as horse stealing, cattle stealing, being
backward in accounts or being in re-
ceipt of suspected goods, a man came
into sanctuary about mile from the
monastery or church. There used to be
four crosses on the main roads leading
to Beverley marking the limit of the
area. In cases Of manslaughter and
murder it was not sufficient to be with
in one of these crosses. Before the
fugitive could claim sanctuary he must
enter the church and seat himself in
stone chair known as the "frid stool"
or freed chair."a To this place many
fed for refuge from all parts of the
country.

Death and the Philosopher.


A certain philosopher was in the
habit Of saying whenever he heard that
an old friend had passed away: "Ah,
well, death comes to us all. 1t is no new
thing. 1t is what we must expect.
Pass me the butter, my dear. Yes,
death comes to all, and my friends
time had come"
Now, Death overheard these philo-
sophical remarks at different times,
and one day he showed himself to the
philosopher.
II am DEATH" said he simply.

II am not ready for you"
"Yes, but it is one Of your favorite

am. But why have you changed So?
You have never feared the death that

SPECIAL SERMON
 TO YOUNG CLERKS
THE REV. J. A. BRYAN GIVES GOOD ADVICE TO MEN EMPLOY ED IN BUSINESS PURsUITs.-A LARGE CONGREGATION.

Yesterday was Sunday school rally day at the Third Presbyterian church, Ave nue G and Twenty-second street, Of which the Rev. J. A. Bryan Is pastor. There was a full turnout of pupils and teachers and marked enthusiasm was manifested.
 At night MT. Bryan delivered a special sermon to clerks-young men and young women. His text was: 'Not Slothful in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;" Romans 12: Il. The preacher pointed out that 1t was the Christian duty of every young man 10 be attentive to his business occupation, no matter how humble, and emphasized the moral obli- gation that rested upon all to be scru- pulously honest in weights and measures. He closed with an earnest appeal to the unconverted to embrace Christ and spoke eloquently of the beauty of godly living. The congregation was large and atten- tive.
 The Third Presbyterian church is in a prosperous condition, as is evidenced by the fact that about 100 members are found at the weekly prayer meeting.

OVER $26OO WAS
 PROMPTLY RAISED
soUTHsIDE BAPTIST CHURCH HAS CONGREGATION OF CHEERFUL GivERs-IMPRovEMENTs PLAN ED FOR AUDITORIUM.

At the service of the Southside Baptist church yesterday morning over $2500 was raised by subscription for the improve ments to be made in the present church edifice and the addition for the Sunday school which Is to be erected in the rear. The members responded readily, and in a few minutes the sum was subscribed.
 With the amount raised yesterday the church has $S50O with which to make the needed improvements. The work will commence at once. and it is thought 1t will be completed by the latter part of the spring. Among other improvements will be the replastering of the entire auditorium and putting in new front doors. The church will also be carpeted throughout and the benches will be fixed wherever needed.
 For some time the members of the Southside Baptist church have been work ing to make these Improvements and they have been contributing literally. At the service yesterday morning a number of the young ladies and young gentlemen of the church contributed, and the lump sum was raised from small subscriptions, nearly every one giving something.
 The church numbers over 700, and the present building Is too small to serve in the double capacity of auditorium and Sunday school room.

Returns from the official canvass of the vote in fifty eight counties show a total vote for governor of 77111. The eight counties from which no returns have yet been received are Choctaw. Lamar, Law renee, Marion, Pickens. Pike, Randolph and Winston. These counties will prob ably increase the total by TOGO votes. bringing the total in the state up to about s4.000.

In Bullock the republican candi- date received two votes and in Wilcox three.

The management of the State Fair is receiving much commendation from the state press on the successful fair just closed, and yesterday two substantial evi- dences came in of the feeling which Is spreading in relation to the exhibition. The following letters explain themselves:

Tba Effect of Judge Feagin's
 Stand Being Felt
THAT TWO DEALERS TESTIFY
One Merchant States That Ills Busl- ness in Pistols Fell Off 75 Per
 Cent in the Last Month and a Half.

The fight made by Judge Feagin on pistol toters has been felt in places where 1t was never intended to harm, and these are the places which can best testify as to the effect of the. new order of things. Two dealers in new and second hand pistols were in court yesterday morning and Judge Feagin was discus sing with them the matter of pistol toting.
 One of the dealers volunteered the statement that his sales In pistols had and half. or since Judge Feagin issued his order in regard to the fines and sem tences to be imposed after October 1. The second dealer confirmed what the other said in regard to business dropping off.
 These statements in connection with that of Coronor Paris that Judge Fea- gin had almost ruined his business, seem to point to a great amount of good which is being done by Judge Feagin in his determination to stop pistol toting.

Paul Gilmore.

A play that is said to be one of the most enjoyable and successful ever staged will be seen at the Jefferson when Paul Gil- more and his supporting company will present Haddon Chambers comedy, "The Tyranny of Tears Paul Gilmore has long been known in the romantic drama and his supporting company has been chosen by Jules Murry. Furthermore, it Is claimed the play is splendid vehicle on which they have ridden into popular favor and furnishes Paul Gilmore stel- lar part with unlimited opportunities to gain the good graces of the audience. The comedy, it is said, Is void of horse play, and 1t is claimed that there are several tense dramatic scenes provoked by the varied temperamental peculiarities of some finely drawn characters.

CITY COUNCIL AND

COMMERCIAL CLUB COMMITTEE TO EFFECT SETTLEMENT OF WATERWoRks CO.'S TANeLE WITH CITY MEET TODAY.

The Commercial club committed ap- pointed Friday to effect settlement of the water tangle which is now on be- tween the city council and the water works company, will meet this morning at Il o'clock in the rooms of the Com mercial club to formulate plans and to make arrangements to meet the water committee of the city council and the managers of the water works company.
 The committee is composed of W. J. Milner, John W. Bush, W. N. Malone, T. H. Moulton and R. M. Goodall. The resolution which caused the appointment of the committee was introduced by Major Milner, and at first read so that the Com mercial club would endorse the recent proposition of the water works company and apparently disapprove of the position of the mayor and board of aldermen, but a clause of the original motion was struck out on motion of G. H. Estes, and the resolution now looks only to a settlement of the question and does not make the club endorse the water works company.

father and the altar of Baal which stood by it and erect an altar to Jehovah and begin his worship by offering a bullock thereon to Jehovah. This he did, and on the morning the people saw their old fetich pole and altar removed and rose up against him and demanded that he be brought out to be mobbed. But his father refused, and brought them face to face with the difference between Baal worship and Jehovah worship. Baal was the God whom the people had made an idol who could not help himself or any one else. Jehovah was a God who could help his people, enter into them, be a part of their life, their guide, their God. So he said now If Baal be a god, let him fight his own battles. And they saw the point and said, We'll, we will leave Gideon to Baal to be punished, and they nick named him Jerrebaal-let Baal contend with him. But the spirit of Jehovah possessed Gideon and he sounded the alarm and assembled the men of Abiezer for the work of delivering Israel from Midian. Thus he set himself and his peo- pie to this task as brave heroes and led them on to the glorious victory because Jehovah was with him.
 Truth Taught.
 Let us now consider the religious truth taught in this beautiful epic. and which we may call the gospel of Gideon.
 1. It is a fact, deny it, ignore 1t, sup press 1t as we will, that Jehovah is yet with us The creator does not desert his creature nor the fathers heart with draw itself from his prodigal son. It is he that upholds his own by the strength of his might. Jehovah Is with thee and thee and thee.
 g. The realization of this makes us a hero with mighty strength and Valor for the duties of life. The Ignoring of 1t makes one cowardly, weak. desponding and ineffective. The maintenance of friendly converse with God at the altar Jehovah Shalam and the cultivation of union with him that awakens the soul to its heroic estate, a divine one living through the human makes the human all but divine. We need this inner conscious ness of the divine indwelling.
 8. This truth, when realized, sees life's mission as divine commission. We be- come messengers of Jehovah ourselves.
