EAST SIDE.

/ Our visit to Trenton to attend
the West Tennessee Teachers As.
ISOLATION is one never to be forgot.
ten. Trenton is full of light-heart-
ed people. Their hospitable doors
were opened to all the teachers dur.
ing their stay. Just think OF lit.
tie city Trenton's size entertaining
free nearly four hundred visitors,
and when | say free | mean those
people received us most cordially,
entertained us in the most pleasant
way possible and to offer to pay
them would be an insult There
we're some forty homes disappoint-
ed because the COMMITTEE on En-
tertainment" could not send some
one to stop with them, there not
being sufficient number OF visit
ing teachers for some to be assign
ed to all the homes that had been
prepared to entertain the peda-
gogues.
On Thurday evening reception
was given which must have cost
these people over $780, Salads
we're served al the elegant mansion
of DR.. Happel; then we were march
ed across the street to the beauti-
full home of Mr.. Wade, where ices
and cakes were served.
The Association was the largest
attended ever before and much in
terest was manifested throughout
the session.
The most attractive feature, how
ever, according to the decision Of
our worthy County Superintendent
and he. has the right to know,
having been taking lessons for
some time-was the delightfully."-
sweet music rendered by one of the
accomplished ladies where we we're
stopping. AS usual, Mr.. Moore
was rather tiinid. There being
three young ladies at this place.
But in some way they soon learned
that he enjoyed being entertained
by the fair sex and that he was
fond of music. One of these ladies
possessing high degree of music
al talent at once set out to captl-
yate the Superintendent and it is
needless to say she was successful.
While the first two selections were
being played the Professor sat
with a most delightful smile, his
eyes sparkling with admiration and
his feet keeping time with the
rythm. Before the third number
was completed he lapsed into un-
consciousness his feet carried him
across the room and seated him
very close to the performer BY
this time she had ceased and Mr..
Moore in his amazement looked
about himself and said. WAS

ner or am | dreaming how came

The Mormon church is one-man power. It Is absolutely dominated by the president, although the governing body is called the first presidency, the quorum of the twelve apostles and the seven presidents of the seventies. says Leslie's Monthly. As matter of fact the first presidency consists of the president and two councillors, whom he selects and who may be refhoved by him. The quorum of the twelve apostles has equal power, when unit ed, with the first presidency. but as apostles are chosen by a revelation from the president, and as the presl- dent is promoted from the president of the twelve apostles to be the head of the church and is made prophet. seer and revelator. his power is abso- lute. His edicts and decrees are bind ing whether in temporal or spiritual affairs. Obedience is Mormon watchword. Disobedierce. whether in church or secular matters, has been and still is punished. The offender may stand out for q time. but he must either bend to church authority or be disfellowshipped and cut of from the church. He cannot remain a member in good standing. or exercise The rights and privileges of a member until he has recantad and accepted the terms of the church authorities. Besides there is never division between the apostles and the first presidency. They are constantly in harmony. When any one of them is not in harmony he is dropped The president controls the apostles and the apostles loyalty SUD- port the presidency. There is no diff ference of opinion on this score.

been added. A portion of these is- sues was for refundlng purposes. a part for taking up notes issued two years ago and part to provide for present needs. Just how much to ap- portion to each class of needs 1t is impossible to determine, but q very considerable portion went to take up notes and to meet current require ments, and therefore represented new fixed capital. Even this large output of new securities does not seem to have satisfied the public demand, which is particularly fortunate for both the railro1os and the bankers who have bonds to offer. There is still good inquiry for bonds in this market, buyers, however, not always exercis- ing the discrimination that they should, and in all probability there will be further issues, if conditions favor, to provide for maturing obliga- tions and needs of the railroads.

A number of Waterbury citizens were cited before the public works board last evening to give their opin- ion about paving certain streets. Sev- eral of those present objected to pay ing of any kind, others objected to Belgium blocks, while others said if paving must be laid, they want it noiseless as well as durable, still others did not want to pay for such work. A few gave assent to the scheme of paving, for the reason that they suppose It wIu be done whet' .er they oppose il or not f tac city thinks well of the mattc.. But why sllouLl abutting property owners Lc made to pay for this public work it benefits the whole people. In fact City Enyi. nees Cairns is Iuo1cl as saying that the paving on ScoviIl street is for san itary reasons, and yet property owners on that street obje,. to be made to pay for what their neIghbors enjoy fully as much if not more than they do. It seems hardly fair to assess d man heavily for street paving. who never uses the roadway. Yet his neighbor drives or goes over it some other way many times n day and is not assessed penny for it. Such work is a public benefit and all the people of city, at least every person that is allowed the right of a freeman should be made to pay his part for the maintenance of paved streets and good roads generally.

WHY THE PARsoN WAS ILL
Old Colored Preacher Was in Bad Way Until He Got Rid of
 Sermon,

A certain old colored preacher, who boarded round" among his parishioners, awoke one Sunday morning feeling far from well. He made one or two efforts to rise, says writer in Lippincott's, but his head swam and ached and he felt the misery" in every bone.
 "Br'er Johnson, Br'er Johnson" he called to the worthy deacon with whom he was then domiciled. "Br'er Johnson, 'clar' to goodness jes' cawn't preach dis heah mo'nin' nohow. Is sick, dats W at is. You all jes' go up to de meetin'- house an tack up a notice to say dat dar won't be no preachin' dis monin'. ]"
 'Aw, Elder Dusenberry you hadn't oughter gib in to de ills ob de flesh lak dat,' said Deacon Johnson, reprovingly. You mak' a effort to rise, nah frien. Shame de debbil an his pains Il leab yo. Tink what disapp 'intment you's gwine to gib all dem folks-lettin' 'em git all hxed up fer meetin' in dair bes' clothes, an den fin dere ain't gwine to be none"
 So spake Br'er Johnson, with much more to like purpose. Thus admonished the preacher rose, and with many groans and lamentations, dressed. A hearty breakfast and turn in the fresh air gave him the strength of mind and body to face his congregation. and, as the serv- ices proceeded, he warmed to his work, delivering an even more fervid dis course than usual.
 When he arrived at home after meet ing Br'er Johnson greeted him anx- iously.
 Well, Elder Dusenberry. how you feel?' he asked. solicitously.
 "Oh. feel furst rate, Br'er Johnson. Spry as a sparrow. An I wants to thank you, Br'er Johnson, for a-stirrin' me up dis mawnin', an keepIn' me in de paf ob duty
 'Oh, dat's all right, Br'er Dusenberry, dat's all right I knowed you'd be all right as soon as you got dat sermon out ob your syStem!"
