first sermon at the City temple will deal
with what he has seen and heard in
America, more particularly the Chris
tian side of his experiences. If time
will permit he will go to Pittsburg to see
the Carnegie works and ascertain for
himself the conditions under which the
people live there-conditions regarding
which certain members of the recent
Mosely commission reported most I'M
favorably. Mr.. Campbell says that he
has heard so many different reports of
those conditions that personal observa-
ton alone will satisfy him. He observed
that he could not conceive how a man
of such lavish philanthropy as Andrew
Carnegie can treat his wOrkpeople bad
ly. The reverend gentleman does o
mean to make money out of his trip; he
is going merely for experience-to get as
it were a wider knowledge of the Chris
tian world than either London or
Brighton a supply. The congregation
at the City temple believe that Mr..
Campbell will cause a sensation in the
United States by his eloquence, and they
are already commencing to feel that the
late DR.. Joseph Parker-his predecessor
was only a mediocrity compared with
him. This was an opinion expressed by
several members of the congregation t o
the writer. Mr.. Campbell has exactly
the sort of forceful personality that COM
mands respect in America. Before COM
ing to London he was at Brighton-the
fashionable resort-whence his reputa-
ton for eloquence and intellectually
spread all over the kingdom.
Joseph Parker was fearless, and made
no bones about criticising the king him
self when Edward did anything that the
particular "non-conformist conscience
of Holborn viaduct found abhorrent.
Mr.. Campbell showed himself NO less
courageous when he ventured to criti-
else the policy of his predecessor by de-
claring that commercial methods
should flourish no longer at the City
temple-the reference being to DIR. Par
ker's habit of selling his sermons in
printed form-and when, more recently.
he began his determined crusade against
the shady practices reputedly common
among the a%ristocracy. The new preach
er of the City temple declares that i'm
morality among English society women
is fragrant and frequent, and he is es-
pecially vigorous in denouncing what
he says goes OF in fashionable country
houses. He blames the society women
more than the men, because, he a the
latter day degeneracy is more evident
in the weaker than the sterner sex. Mr..
Campbell declares that he will preach
against social vice in England until pub
lie opinion demands an improvement.

WILL TOUR AMERICA.
Famous London Preacher to Study
Our Religious Life.
Pastor of London City Temple, Rev.
II. j. Campbell, Wants to Be-
rome Personally Familiar
with Our Affairs.

Many of the Americans who visited
London in the active life of DIR. Joseph
Parker used to make a point of going at
least once to heal the famous incumbent
of the City Temple pulpit, and probably
most of this years visitors have made
up their minds to see and hear his bril-
liant successor, Rev. r. J. Campbell.
If so, they probably will be somewhat
disguised to discover that they would
have had a better chance of hearing DR..
Campbell had they stayed at home, for
the young preacher who, though his pas
torate at the Temple has lasted only
about three months, is already a striking
figure in London life, is now making a
two months tour of the United States.
Mr.. Campbell, says the Kansas City
Star, means to visit New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Chicago, Kansas City Den
yer and Washington, and will afterward
take a trip through Canada. He will be
accompanied by Mrs. Campbell and he
will have as his guide, philosopher and
friend, Fleming H. Revell, the American
publisher, who is making all arrange
ments for him. On every Sunday dur
ing the two months he will preach in one
of the cities he proposes to visit, and his
first appearance will be at Henry Ward
Beecher's church in New York. Mr..
Campbell expects to find American con-
gregations somewhat more critical than
those in London, but he anticipates a
kindly reception.
The clergyman hopes to meet all the
leading men in "nonconformity" in the
United States, and he will be greatly dis
appointed if he does not carry back with
him from the United States valuable i'm
pressions of his visit. On his return his

snowfall in a Parlor.

There was an indoor snowstorm on
a very clear, cold evening recently at a
party given at Stockholm, Sweden.
Many people were gathered in a single
room, which became so warm as to be
insufferable. The window sashes were
found frozen and a pane of glass was
smashed out. Acold air current rushed
in and at the anne instant flakes Of
snow were seen to fall to the floor in
all parts of the room. The atmosphere
was so saturated with moisture that
the sudden fall in temperature pro-
duced a snowfall indoors.

Why Autos Turn Easily.

People have noted with surprise the
facility with which an automobile
turns a corner. This is due to the
fact that its forward axle is in two
pieces, connected with bevel wheels
and a pinion. In turning, the pinion
is loosened on its stud, which per-
mits the two wheels, each of which
is solid on it's axle, to revolve at diff
ferent speeds.

Births and Deaths.

County Clerk Hendricks yester-
day completed and forwarded to the
department OF health and vital sta
tistics at Austin his report of the
births and deaths in Ellis county
for the month OF November. The
report shows considerable de-
crease in both the number of births
and deaths as compared with the
month of October. According TO the
reports made by the physicians of
the county to the clerk there were
ll2 births and "a deaths during
November. OF the births ~ were
male aud As females. There were
eight births to colored parents and
two sets OF twins reported.
County Clerk Hendricks this
morning called the reporters at
tention 10 the fact that several ply
sicians in the county are rather neg
ligent in observing the law respect
ing the reports made by them TO the
clerk 5 office. They are required to
make their reports to the county
clerk within thirty days after the
occurrence Of birth or death, but
in many instances these reports are
from thirty 10 sixty days reaching
the clerk. This causes him con
siderable trouble in preparing his
monthly reports for The department
Of health aud vital statistics. As A
rule births and deaths that occur
near the first Of each month are not
reported until about the time Mr..
Hendricks is ready 10 make bis re-
port. 1t is the wish of Mr.. Hen
bricks that physicians be more
prompt ia this matter and thus save
hin a great deal of trouble, as well
as To save themselves from the paw.
ment of fine.

The number of butcheries reported
from Macedonia would tend to de-
crease the population Of any country
but Macedonia. Every day almost new
maesacres of thousands are reported,
only to be followed the next day with
much larger killing than the day be-
fore, tending each time to prove that
practice makes more perfect. If ten
thousand are killed today twenty
thousand will most likely be killed to-
morrow with the same weapons. This
shows that even with the Turks there
is a dormant mechanical genius which
may be awakened when demanded.
When, therefore, we see Russia and
England, and Austria and Germany,
Whetting their knives to carve Turkey,
We become interested because the bird
must be killed before carved, and there
is where Turkey appears just now at
her best. She knows how to kill a
little herself. The Carrying may be
done to the kings taste. to the taste
