way, very old one dressed in a new mama

as the most precious and pliable product
OF tne ages, and says that what tho

But 1t may be doubted whether Mr.. Bur-

in plant transformation. 1t may be true
that better bodies may be secured for the
remainder by removing the deficient 1t
may also be true that brain lobes can be
developed as the cattle breeders have de-

Like Artemus Ward, who was willing that
his wffes relatives should be sent to the

peoples children. For our own we propose
to preserve with small regard to the effect

DEPUTIES HAD HARD
 TUSSLE WITH MAN
SOLOMON PLEMMoNs, WHO IS THOUGHT TO BE DEMENTED, DID NOT WANT TO BE LOCKED IN A CELL.

Solomon Plemmons, white man who is
 thought to be demented was arrested
 last night and placed fin the county jail
 on the charge of assault and battery. Word was received at the sheriffs office about o'clock that a white man was on the war path at Avondale and a re- quest was made that officers be sent to arrest him. Deputies Brent, Tomlin and Hilton were despatched to the scene and found the man they were after. Plemmons showed fight and it was not
 until after hard struggle that he was , overpowered and brought to the city. Ar irving at the county jail the officers ex- perienced more trouble and it was neces- sary to call the jail force to lock the pris- oner in a cell. He fought everybody and
 said that no officer could put him in jail After being secured in one of the cells he was quiet and made no more out
 breaks. The actions of the man caused
 several persons in Avondale to be panic stricken and it is probable that if the officers had not arrived in time he would have injured some one.
 He is insane according to the opinion
 of the officers, and will be given medical attention.

 NOT INCENDIARY
c. w. AUSTIN, INSPECTOR OF THE SOUTHEASTERN TARIFF AssOcI- ATIoN MAKES OFFICIAL REPORT ON ORIGIN OF THE BLAZE.

The fire at the residence of W. P. Pinckard, at 924 South Twentieth street, at an early hour Thursday morning was not of ncendiary origin. according to the statement of c. w. Austin. inspector of the Southeastern Tariff association
 "The fire started from a grate in tho house." said MT. Austin. This I know for I have made a close investigation or the matter. I have ascertained that the watchman stationed at the house since the fire Sunday night, had a fire in the grate Wednesday night. An investigation of the walls and weatherboarding Of the building has convinced me of this fact.
 Chief Walton stated yesterday that what he said concerning the fire was that it was either caused by an incendiary or from the grate, mentioned by MT. Aus tin. The chief further states that the walls of the building are standing In part and that the rooms were not totally de- stroyed but charred.
 The official report of the ire as made by Inspector Austin and Chief Walton is to the effect that the blaze Thursday morning started on the south side of the building between the chimney wall and weatherboarding.

CATHOLIC MISSION
 FULL OF INTEREST
MISSION TO NoN-cATHOLlCS BE- GINS MONDAY NlGHT-FATHER M'DONALD BREACHES SUNDAY AT HIGH MASS AT 1o:ao.

The mission to Catholics conducted at St. Paurs church by priests of the congre- gation of missions. has attracted large crowds all the week. It is full of interest to the parish.
 At the services last night the Rev.
 Father Flannigan. c. M, led the devo- tions preceding the sermon. He explained the Holy Name society for men and urged
 all the men In the parish to become mem bers of it. He pointed out that in the
 first place the society binds men to Jesus Christ in a particular manner, and that in the second place it tends to make
 reparation for profanity and insults offer
 ed to His Holy Name.
 The Rev. Father Mcdonald preached on the mercy of God and the danger of delay In the matter of repentance. Come to me all you who labor and are burdened and you will find rest In your souls" Such, said the speaker, Is the
 sweet invitation of the merciful Savior, who came into the world to save sinners Christ never had word of reproof except for those who would not repent, and when dying In a very hurricane of insults His
 last prayer was: Father, forgive them. for they know not what they do." He
 was the Good Shepherd who laid down His life for His flock.
 Jesus only condemns, continued the
 preacher, when the heart of man refuses His forgiveness. and of such He says:
 You all seek me and shall not find
 me, and you shall die in your sins" Tn the cold, cheerless world about us" said Father Mcdonald, we must not for get the Fatherhood of God and the
 Brotherhood of Christ; and in life's dull, grinding day we will remember with joy
 that the love of Jesus is still pursuing us The same gentle voice calls to our hearts that of old drew the people into the desert and so charmed them that they forgot their homes and their cares. We | know One to whom we can always turn for friendship and love; one who can | hear us and help us, who alone can give | peace of conscience and heart which will | satisfy
 | There will be no services at St. Paul s | tonight The mission to Catholics comes | to an end tomorrow night with the Papal | benediction. Sunday masses will be at | 2, 9:30 and 10:30 o'clock. Father Mcdonald will preach at high mass.
