Wyatt Aiken's Homespun Suit.

Washington, December 9.e-Repre-
sentative Wyatt Aiken, of South Caro-
lima, is about as fine specimen of physi-
cal manhood as there is in the House.
He is fully six feet tall and weighs 24O
pounds. When he was sworn in a few
days ago, along with the other South
Carolina members, he wore homespun
jeans suit, and he continues to wear it.
The suit has attracted much attention
among the fellow members from South
Carolina, who have not seen anything
like it for sale in the tailor shops.
Tho cloth for this suit was woven by
a good old lady friend of mine in Oconee
county, South Carolina" said Repre-
sentative Aiken. "The weaving of
cloth of this kind is rare thing now
and suppose it is equally as rare to see
a man with a suit of it on in Washington
or in the cities of the country. / am
proud of it, though 1t may not look
quite as stylish as some of the imported
goods, but it is by no means unattractive
in appearance. Every thread of 1t was
woven on an old-fashioned weaving ma
chine, now 80 rare as to be seldom seen,
even in expositions. Ny good lady
friend believes that should have some
thing warm to cover my frame when
come to Washington and she takes great
pains to weave the cloth for me. I then
have 1t made into a suit"
Ano oiotu 10 oaih gray anu Repre-
sentative Aiken has had 30 many ques-
tions asked about it by his fellow Con-
gressmen and 30 many men have ex-
pressed desire for something like it,
that he has promised two or three of his
best friends to see what he can do toward
getting them something Of the same
material.
The South Carolinian has set fashion
in the House that promises to extend, if
it is possible for the members to procure
the goods.
'T'm dead stuck on that suit you
wear" said Speaker Cannon to Repre-
sentative Aiken a few days ago. Cant
you tell me whore can get one?"
Probably can arrange it," said Mr..
Aiken, and he is going to try to see what
he can do.

a Lecture to Young Preachers.

Bishop w. w. Duncan was very
sarcastic in his remarks to a class of
young preachers who were admitted
into the South Georgia Conference
recently. In speaking of the worldly
minded and selfish preacher he says {:
"Don't spend the time you should
spend in saving souls and working
for the church in digging in a potato
patch or catching fish or shooting
birds. If you haven't gift for Wis.
iting your flock and cay you are just
called to preach take off your long
coat and standing collar and go to
blowing. Your work is to bless lit
tie children, comfort distressed men,
and save those exposed to the wiles
of the devil. Your work is to 90
into the houses OF the poor and lowly
and carry the sunlight of Gods love
There is no greater monstrosity on
earth than loafing, trifilng preacher.
A preacher should never be unem-
ployed or triflingly employed. Be
holy, but don't try to define holiness.
You can be holy, you can be perfect
in love, but where is the man who
can formulate theory of Christian
perfection. Don't stress so much
the definition of the thing, but be a
holy mAn, be like Jesus.

Temperance Increasing.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean says
that there is no doubt that the ave-
rage of temperance is increas-
ing, and that this is not due to
the operation of the statute laws, but
much of it to moral and religious in
fuence and to economic and social
pleasures.
"Modern competition carries on a
constant temperance crusade. The
drinking man finds it increasingly
harder to get or keep job. He sees
himself the last to be hired and the
first to be let go in dull times. He
finds that drinking does not pay"
The above is from the Forum, and
we fully believe that the situation is
correctly stated. We have felt for
some time that views on the teruper-
ance question in South Carolina were
very much improved, and that the
tendency is toward the suppression
of the liquor traffic. Of course the
liquor advocates deny this, and they
do all they can to make the impress
sion that it is not true. They insist
that the uprising against the dispen-
sary forebodes nothing favorable to
temperance, but this is no more than
might be expected Of this class, and
effects in no way the question at is-

Some distance beyond this danger.
GUS passage are the fortresses OF
Dardanelles, which were built in
146O; and not much further on is a
place where the strait turns to the
east, making an elbow, with only
about a mile of water space, so tha,
passing ships can be raked from stem,
to stern by higb-power guns, getting
it right and left from Europe, from
Asia, and from the front also.
For considerable distance, from
Barbary Cape to Cape Niagara, the
strait is extremely narrow, and there
is every opportunity for successfully
assailing fleet that is trying to pass
through. Incidentally, to oomplioate
the problem, the current is 80 rapid
and strong that the progress of even
a powerful steam vessel is much i'm
peded. Thus it will be seen that,
strategically speaking, the Darda-
nelles possess every natural advant-
age, constituting position well-nigh
impregnable. And it should be fur
ther considered that the defenders
would be able to use ships as well as
forts. For, while Turkey does not

Fatal Fun.

The people of Indianapolis are a
very funny lot. Recently Frank
Felker was married at Danville, Illi-
nois, and took his bride to his home
in Indianapolis. They left the train
about two miles outside of the city,
where carriage was in waiting for
them, intending to drive to their
home, but before they could enter
the house crowd of the BRIDE
groom's friends seized him and bound
him fast to dray. The bride man
aged to make her escape and took
refuge in the house of neighbor,
where she hid herself behind a bed.
She was pursued, however, by her
husbands friends and was seized and
placed on the dray beside her hus-
band, both being bound hand and
foot. In this position they were
hauled through the principal streets
of the city, the hazers yelling like
maniacs, and the police making no
attempt to interfere with the sport.
The bride is said to be dying from
her exposure and cruel treatment.
And the people of Indianapolis call
this fun! The only persons who
appear to be able to stand the In
dianapolis brand of civilization are
the Southern negroes, who have
found in that beautiful town secure
haven.

Christmas Popcorn Balls.

Boys and girls can have great fun
making popcorn balls for Christmas
time. When you have popped your
corn over clear fire, boil one-half
of cupful of molasses with two
tablespoonsful of sugar. When a
few drops of the liquid will harden in
cold water, pour quickly over four
quarts of popped corn. Butter your
hands, mix the corn well, and mold
into balls.

There is no greater tribute TO pa

the enkindling of its sacred fires in

keeping green the memory of the sac
rifices and deeds of the heroic dead,
who have laid their all upon the
altars of Fatherland, and such is the
annual memorial service of tue Army
and Navy Union.
1t was a glad sight to the people of
st. Mary's TO see this organization,
together with numbers of the enlisted
men, many of them wearing medals
of honor, escorted by the Holy Name
Society and the Benevolent Legion,
file up the main isle to the music of
the organ rendered by Professor Zim-
norman. Nespers were sung by the
full choir, after which Very Rev
Thomas U Hanley, O SIS Il, welcomed

congregation of the church, and made

upon the Christian virtue of patriot.
ism, the ardent love of Fatherland,
which must animate every Christian
heart, quoting the great Exemplar of
all virtue, Our Blessed Lord, as He
stood upon the hill overlooking Jeru-
salem, shedding His sacred Gears as
he foresaw the destruction of the
doomed city and the subjugation of
His native land. 1t is impracticable
in short space to give even a synop-
sis of this address of the Very Rev.
Rector, of which copy in the hands
OF every boy and girl of the land
would surely enkindle in their hearts
the virtues of loyalty and patriotism
to bear fruit in the days TO come.
Especially fine was the speaker S
denunciation of the crime of misuse
of the great privilege of the ballot,
upon which depends the glory or the
shame of the country. Prayers for
the repose of the souls of the dead
were read, the men standing and the
very beautiful services ended with
the Benediction of the Most Blessed
Sacrament. A beautiful feature of
the ceremonies was the chanting by
the choir, unaceompanied by the
organ, of the "Misserere. I"
