The author Of The Sabbath In Puri-
tan New England mentions a custom
which prevailed In several New Eng
land churches that made II the duty
OF the deacons to walk up and down
the aisles OF the church at the close Of
each service and deliver TO every per-
son who in their Judgment was fitted
TO commune metal check. which en-
titled him at the next celebration of
the Lords Supper to join in the sacred
ordinance.
On the communion. Sabbath It was
the deacons' duty to see that ev-
cry one who presented himself at the
Lords table had this check and to col
lect IL from the communicate before
passing to him the bread and wine.

To add to the sorrows OF the
temperance people of Jackson, a
number OF negroes have been de-
tecfed selling whiskeg from their
hip pockets, and several arrests
have been made for such work.
It is strange that the people Of
Jackson who must have their liq-
nor, don't discover that it can be
delivered at their homes by the
express companies Ia any amount
they may want, aud thus save
them the trouble Of running down
q negro in an alley to get q drink
out Of q bottle. But Jackson is q
slow old lot.

adjudged insane and confined.
That's a dog gone shame.
By the time all the fellows con-
nected with the matter get through
making statements about the
treasury scandal, the people will
be at a loss to know whether any
of the funds were ever actually
loaned out or not.
The South Americans, who are
engaged in a mild form Of war,
don't know what is in store for
them. Nc sooner will their trOn-

necessary loops.
The United States government
lis still indebted to the state of
Mississippi about 81, 900 for the
recruiting OF soldiers for the Span

which the matter is dragging
along, there is no telling when the
account will be balanced.
Senator McLaurin is coming in

If the world is really growing

FOR THE GRANT, MEMORIAL.
Secretary Root Asks for an Appropria.
ton Of $4,000.

Secretary Root has written a letter to the
President of the Senate giving the result
of the recent competition of artists for the
proposed memorial of General Ulysses S.
Grant, and asking for an appropriation of
$4,000 for immediate use in connection
with the memorial.
The statutory commission decided that the
models submitted by Mr.. Henry Merwin
Shrady and Mr.. Charles H. Niehaus were
best adapted to the alternative sites select
ed for the memorial.
lowing, however, says Secretary Root,
ito the high order of the work of Mr.. Me-
haus. and Notwithstanding the brilliant
character of Mr.. Shrady's composition, the
advisory committee thinks 1t desirable to
request Messrs. Shrady and Niehaus to ex-
ecute another model on a larger scale of
the equestrian group only, in each case;
and this has been done. and the decision as
between these two artists will be made at

Yesterday Afternoon in the House.

The speakers on Cuban reciprocity yes
terday were Messrs. Roberts (Mass), Pat
terson (Tenn.) and Cochran (Mo) for the
bill, and Messrs. Bartlett (Ga.), Corlss
(Mich.), Broussard Ua), Bell (Col) and H.
c. Smith (Mich.) against it.
Mr.. Broussard Ua) maintained that the
bill would ruin the cane sugar industry of
Louisiana and transfer 1t to Cuba.
Mr.. Bell (Col) also opposed the bill,
arguing that it was utterly indefensible
from any standpoint in that 1t proposed to
take the tariff off Of raw material and leave
untouched the tariff on the refined product.
After some further remarks by Mr.. Coch-
ran (Mo.) in favor of the policy of freer
trade H. c. Smith (Mich) closed the debate
for the day with a speech against the bill.
At 5:15 the House adjourned until II am.
