Taylor Defeats Cline and Gallagher Wins
From Cutler I'm ShOrtstOD Tourney.

day in the 1879 balk inc tournament at the
Knlckerbocker Academy, Brooklyn. These
two games wound up tn first round of the
tournament. and TAYLOR. Gallagher and Cline
are tied for first place. each having won two
games and lost one.
Cutler has lost three games and won none.
Both games yesterday were interesting.
In the evening Taylor got away ahead Of
Cline and led all the way, winning by a score
of 400 to $40. Tay lor's work was better
than the average indicates. He would have
had a much better average but for safety
play TOWARD the close.
Taylor's close counting was excellent,
and In the accumulation of several of his
runs his nursing was as pretty as one could
wish to see. He nursed In the middle space
and across the balk lin on the end rail. Cline
did not land on the second ball as accurately
as usual.
However, he made seven double figure
runs in succession. He and Taylor both put
through a few intricate three cushion shots.
A follow along the rail by Taylor, in which
the first object ball had to slip through a
narrow crevioe next the cushion was a rare
effort. From the thirteenth to the sixteenth
inning inclusive. Taylor mode q total Of liz

his time and attention. 1t would
be a considerable sacrifice for
him to continue as chairman. No

Now is an especially happy time,
also, for him 10 surrender the

Compulsory Attendance.
RAMBLER

This is subject that, to my mind
should be considered deeply and from
every standpoint by the voter aud cit
izen before they subscribe to its in
augeration as system, because there
is more involved through the principle
underlying it than simply securing the
attendance of children in Tennessee to
the school provided by the State, there
is involved the vital question of the
GENERALIZATION of power" which is a
question of such importance that the
people will do well to think long and
seriously before they furnish even one
link of chain that will bind you hand
and foot in private life as well as public

making slow but certain inroads into
our society, and is Systematically and

ance" comes and get the lions share of
the pie that comes from their indorse-
ment of that proposition. 1t is but fair
that we understand the proposition of
which we speak. 1t is as follows;--It
shall be a misdemeanor by statute, pun
ishable by fine or imprisonment, as the
statute may provide, for any heads Of
families, guardians or Others intrusted
with the care of children to fail to send
their children within proper age to
school so many months in the year.
This proposition is to my mind, diabol-
ical in its conception and dangerous in
its execution. When we concede the
right Of the law making power to invade
the sacred precincts of our individual
homes and control us, then we make a
concession that places us at the mercy
of the various fancies Of avarice and
greed, or the fictitious notions of fanat-
icism, Or the devilish caprice of bossism,
all Of which raise their hoaIy heads
when self interest is at stake, and the
law will permit and strike at the very
vitals of society. But, after we have made
these legal concessions, acknowledging
thereby our Incaplcity to govern our.
selves or properly contro! our homes
then, to whatever extent this authority
may be carried we would be legally

TEN COGENT REASONS.
Why the Late Sam Jones Enp
deared Himself to the
Masses.

Shortly after the death of the late
San Jones, the Rev. Walt HOlcomb,
who had been for a number of years
the great Evangelist's co-worker and
constant friend, was asked to write ten
reasons why Mr., Jones appealed to the
masses withw whom he came 10 contact
This is what he wrote otfhand and they
convey much meaning:
l. He hated the sin; but he helped
the sinner.
2. He thought an ounce of mirth was
worth pound of signs in any market
place.
8. He had no mercy for the Peck
shifts of this world, and punctured sham
and hypocrisy with his keen wit.
