DISPOSAL OF FAIR GROUNDS.

Mr.. J. w. Bats, who is promot-
log a reorganization of the Central
Texas Fair, informed the Eagle
last night that he had secured up
to that time $4,000, forty six
stockholders having each taken
one 500 share. The purpose is to
take over the mortgage on the
property, held by the First nation
al bank, which will probably be
done this morning, and later to
purchase the property. Reorgani-
cation will be effected at an early
date. and a race meet will be held
this fall, amounting TO about what
the last fair did. The Eagle will
be glad ia see the enterprise reviv-
ed and continued on a stable ba-
sis.

To Cure INebrietu.


Dr. CRoTHERs, in paper recently read before
the British Medical Association says that the use Of
alcohol in most cases is symptom of some disorder
and not cause. The theory which this eminent
specialist advances is concurred in by many who have
given the subject serious attention If his theory be
correct then it is evident that those who thus af
Hicted are not treated as they should be.
'"The term inebriety," declared DR.. Crothers,
describes condition which calls for alcohol for it's
anesthetic effect, and in reality disease or
disorder of the brain, for which alcohol is most
grateful remedy According to this belief it is do
ing injustice to sentence to Jail becausehe
lndulges in stimuant that gives him relief. For
ages man has been applying the wrong specific for
the desease commonly Known Tag. Ten,
twenty and ninety days the remedy for all such
cases. Sometimes this practical remedy brought
about permanent cure but generally speaking, it
only accentuated the desire for liquor. Perhaps if
the disorder which Dr. Crothers points out received
scientific treatment there would be- in the course of
time, woeful paucity of men who abjec slaves to
alcohol This class, atho in the minority would be-
come normal beings if this disease could be cured
However, most of them are unable to take advantage
of the means that offers solution to the problem
and thus resort to liquor, thousands of them have
seen doing annually
AS science progresses it is likely that this form
of disease will be thoroughly understood, and it's
treatment be within reach of those who are it's great
est sufferers.

ment, there is written unwritten law which de-
mands that he shall also be ostraczed in the future

viewpoint.
From all accounts, President Palma has given
the Cubans the best government they ever had. He
has tempered his rule with kindness, and ever

the Cubans have become restless under mild, pro-
gressive form of government and yearning for a
despotic ruler. Their present course may bring

THE APPARENT NEGLECT OF IN
FAINT BAPTISM.


Lexington Presbytery on the apparent
neglect of Infant Baptism, we would
say that it must be remembered that
there are certain influences that are
distinctly adverse to the presentation Of
the children of believers for baptism.
One, very we'll known to Christian pas
tors, is that in the homes of not a few,
one of the parents is not a Christian,
and does not recognize the obligation
and privilege of the conservation of the
child to Christ in the divine ordinance;
and if not by authority, then by persua-
sion, or by unwillingness, makes it a
difficult thing for the other parent to
discharge this duty. In some cases one
parent is a member of another church
which repudiates and ridicules the or
dinance and for that reason refuses
consent.
Perhaps a more prevailing influence
in obstructing the presentation of the
child for baptism is the fact that in the
Presbyterian Churches Infant Baptism
is rite of the highest spirituality.
With us 1t is not merely a ceremonial
of an outward character, but the express
sion of devout and obedient heart. It
is an act of faith in God and in his
promise, and is one of the most solemn
and earnest acts of worship, as it is a
most gracious and beautiful ordinance
of the House of God. In the Presbyte-
rian church, parents are taught and in
vited to present their children for bap-
tism, not as an outward and formal
obedience to the rule of the church, but
as personal conservation of them
selves and their children to Christ and
His service. The very reality and ur-
gency of the demand for a devout and
heartfelt purpose in the child's baptism
is felt to be something which some par
ents are unwilling to give, though their
names are on the roll of the church.
Just as some are found to be unwilling
to attend the prayer meeting, unwilling
to take any part in the religious work
of the church, unwilling to give cheer
fully and freely of their substance, that
is, are only half-hearted and unspirituaI
Christians, so are they found to be I'M
willing to do this profoundly religious
thing, present their children for bap-
tism and take upon them the vows Of
Christian parents. Certainly we would
not have them go through the service as
a ceremonial observance, or with any
thought and expectation of sacramentaI
power to regenerate. We would not wish
the parent to bring his child to the water
Of baptism, until he can do so with a sin
cere belief in the promise of God, and a
