habit, and the mirror watchfulness is
no longer necessary. Good nature is

Good nature depends, of course, very
largely on being well dressed, and
well-groomed woman is nearly always
sweet-tempered. "-Delineator.

Every Child Should Be Taught
 To Be Se1-Supp0rting
Said Robt. G. Ingersoll-In Judging the Rich Two Things Should Be Considered. How Did They Get It and What Are They Doing With It.

much doubt is better than too much credulity. So children should be taught that it is their duty to think tor themselves, to understand and, If possible, to know.
 We cannot rely upon legislative en- actments to make people wise and good; neither can We expect to make human beings manly and womanly by keeping them out of temptation. Temptations are as thick as the leaves of the forest and no one can be out of reach of temptation unless he is dead. The great thing is to make people intelligent enough and strong enough not to keep away from temp tation. but to resist it. All the forces of civilization are in favor of morality and tempsake of morality of for the sake of anything. It is of more value than everything else. Yet some peo- pie would destroy the sun to prevent the growth of weeds. Liberty sus-
 
 virtues that the sun does to life. The world had better go back to barbar- ism, to the dens, the caves and liars of savagery; better lose all art, all inventions, than to lose liberty. Lib- erty is the breath of progress: 1t is the seed and soul, the heat and rain Of love and joy.
 So all should be taught that the highest ambition is to be happy and to add to the we'll being of others; that place and power are not necessary to success; that the desire to acquire great wealth is kind of insanity. They should be taught that it is waste of energy, a waste of thought waste of life, to acquire what you do not need and what you do not really use for the benefit of yourself or others.
 Neither mendicants nor million aires are the happiest of mankind. The man at the bottom of the ladder, hopes to rise; the man at the top fears to fall. The one asks; the other refuses. and by frequent refusal the heart becomes hard enough and the hand greedy enough to clutch and hold.
 Ten men have intelligence enough real greatness enough. to own great

upon the present form of government.
 M. Lemaitre tells how he was an ar
 dent republican long before the re-
 public was proclaimed He was F years of age at the time of the France Prussian war and when the republic was announced he believed it would save France and usher in reign of justice. But he Is no longer of that opinion. and draws up a formidable indictment against the republic which he accuses of having passed laws of religious persecution and application, fomenting civic war, diminishing the means of national defence causing in- creasing deficits, using threats of an- archy and bringing about an econo- mic revolution.
 Monarchy has lasted twenty times longer that the Republic" he adds. We have fathers and grandfathers Who have lived under the Restoration or under the monarchy of July, and who confess that they enjoyed per iod of national prosperity. Twice al- ready the republic has killed itself by it's disorders and is about to the same thing now Monarchy is the most natural regime for Frenchmen and they would share this opinion if necessity compelled them to take stock"

(Extract From Lecture By Robt. G.
 lngcrsOli.l

Every child should be taught to be self supporting and every one should be taught to avoid being a burden on others as it would shun death.
 Every child should be taught that the useful are the honorable and that they who live on the labor of others are the enemies of society Every rhild should be taught that useful work Is worship and that intelligent labor is the highest form of prayer.
 Children should be taught to think. to investigate, to rely upon the light of reason, of observation and experi- encc; should be taught only that which in some sense is really useful They should be taught the use of tools to use their hands, to embody their thoughts In the construction of things. Their lives should not be wasted in the acquisition of the useless of the almost useless. Years should not be devoted to the acquisition of dead languages or to the study of history. which, for the most part, Is a detailed account of things that never occurred. It is useless to fill the mind with dates of great battles, with the births and deaths of kings. They should be taught the philosophy of history. the growth of nations. of philosophies, theories and. above all. of the sciences.
 So they should be taught the inn portance not only Of financial but of mental honesty; to be absolutely sin cere; to utter their real thoughts, and to give their actual opinions, and, if parents want honest children. they should be honest themselves. It may De that hypocrites transmit that failing to their offspring. Men and women who pretend to agree with the majority, who think one way and talk another, can hardly expect their chil- dren to be absolutely sincere.
 Nothing should be taught in any school that the teacher does not know. Beliefs, superstitions. theories. should not be treated like demonstrat- cd facts. The child should be taught to investigate, not to believe, Too

fortune. As rule, the fortune owns
 them. Their fortune is their master
 for whom they work and toll like slaves. The man who has good
 business and who can make a reason , able living and lay aside something
 for the future, who can educate his children and can leave enough to keep the wolf of want from the door of those he loves. ought to be the happiest of men.
 Now society bows and kneels at the feet of wealth. Wealth gives power, wealth commands fattery and adulation, and so millions of men give
 all their energies, as we'll as their
 very souls, for the acquisition of
 gold, and this will continue as long as society is ignorant enough and hypocritical enough to hold in high the slightest regard to the character of the man.
 In judging of the rich two things should be considered; How did they get it, and what are they doing with it? Was it honestly acquired? Is it being used for the benefit of mankind? When people become really intelli- gent. when the brain is really devel- oped, no human being will give his life to the acquisition of what he does not need or what he cannot intelli- gently use.
 The time will come when the truly intelligent man cannot be happy, can- not be satisfied, when millions of his fellow men are hungry and naked; the time will come when in every heart will be the perfume of pity's sacred flower; the time will come when the world will be anxious to the truth. to find out the of happiness and to live in with such conditions, and the time will come when, in the brain of every human being will be the climate of intellectual hospitality.
 Man will be civilized when the pas sions are dominated by the intellec- tual, when reason occupies the throne and when the hot blood. of passion no longer rises in successful revolt.
 To civilize the world, to hasten the of the golden dawn of the per- feet day. we must educate the chil- iren; we must commence at the era He, at the lap of the loving mother.

Thin Negro Slipped Through
 Crack in the Cell Door

George Wilson. one of Sheriff Hoods enterprising deputies yesterday brought a negro. Willie Leonard, to the county jail and requested that Day Jailer Pettus lock him up, the charge against him being stealing roasting ears from a farmer on the edge of the city.
 Mir. Pettus was willing. and Willie was forthwith incarcerated, the charge docketed. and everybody sat down to talk over the political situation.
 Evidently Willie didn't care for the particular cell in which he was lock ed for in few minutes he was out and coming down stairs, He didn't get out. however. for he was caught.
 Mir. Pettus then looked more closely at Willie. While that Senegambian is about the average height. he must have worked in a freak menagerie for some circus. He is about the size of Q match. and the bars of the cell in which he was locked were too far apart to get Willie confined Mir. Pettus therefore. Is watching Willie until he can get enough material to stop up all the cracks in the jail building of suf- fcient size to let a healthy dog through.

Efforts Beang Made to Secure the Mis-
 sfssippf Encampment.
 Columbus, Miss, June 21.-(Special.) --As soon as 1t was learned here that the Mississippi troops would not go to Chickamauga but would amalgamate at some point within the borders of the State, local military men determined to make an effort to induce the Ma tional Guard to come here.
 The State encampment was held here last year but 1t Is thought that this fact will help rather than hinder the movement. The men in rank were charmed with their reception and the amusements provided for them. while the officers were delighted with the behavior of the privates. There was no drunkenness or rowdyism of any kind. and the Guard proved a useless institution.
 A number of officers wrote letters to local military men expressing the opin- ion that the encampment was in every way the most successful ever held and some of them went so far as to suggest that the Legislature be petitIoned to pass a bill designating Columbus as the point for the annual amalgama . tion of the Mississippi National Guard Were the selection of site left to the men they would undoubtedly decide up- on Colum bus. and as the officers gen orally try to adhere to the wishes of the majority in matters of this kind it Is believed that Columbus stands an excellent chance to secure the encamp- Bnent

ON SOUL WINNING
DIR. NEANDER NJ. WOODS ADDRESS
 ED Y. M. c. A.
He Advocated Daily Prayer to This End and Cited IlIustriOus Ex- ample of Dwight l..
 Moody.

Before an audience of young men al- most filling the large auditorium of the Y. M. c. A.. Dr. Neander M. Woods, pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church, delivered his first address to the youth of the city. Dr. Woods ad- dress upon Soul Winning" was care fully followed throughout. and the musical arrangement for the occasion was excellently rendered.
 pr. Woods was introduced to the young men of the city by C. M. Jones. chairman of the religious meetings committee of the Y. M. c. A. MT. Jones spoke very highly of pr. Woods both as a man and as a minister of the gos- pei. pr. Woods in opening his address acknowledged the introductory speech of Mir. Jones in a graceful manner, and immediately began a discussion of his chosen topic.
 The text of the talk was taken from Daniel iii And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the Armament; and they that turn many to righteousness, as the stars for ever and ever" pr. Woods said that not only the acknowledged preachers of the gospel should be engaged in soul winning. but that every layman sh ould consider it his duty to do lik ewise. Tn connection with this Dr. Woods an nounced that in his opinion Moody the great evangelist would occupy a higher place in heaven than would George Washington.
 The ways in which the 1aymen should engage himself in the battle of soul winning was taken up. Daily prayer was earnestly advocated by the speak er The example of Moody was again brought into use as illustration. MT. Moody made it a rule to speak to some man about turning to Christ every day. | The story was told of him that he got out of bed one night to go upon the streets that he might fulfu this prom \ lse to himself.

Maxim's Noiseless Gun Used
 In Innes Bands Concert Here

French "coup d'oeiI--a stroke of the eye.
 And every little while. perhaps thrice in concert, there was the warning cried. Silence, theret'--comparativ silence, of course. just to tone down the little too much of sound.
 But 1t was his eyes and his mouth that said most; they seem never quies- cent, but always neryously active. And it was that nervousness of movement that made the very. very funny thing.
 It was in the midst of .,Americana," that iuridly patriotic genre piece of music with the reunited country, no North. no South, and the marching and counter-marching of veterans and nnili tia, and Mittie May and little Johns albert waving flags, and the harp. and the flute, the sackbut and psaltery, and the trumpets going like anything at every wave of the Innes's hand. to say nothing of the loud bassoon that the wedding guest in The Ancient Ma riner" heard with such yearning-all of that was going on when the funny thing happened. It had been planned that when the climax should be reach- ed great cut and thrust muskets, as Mrs. Malaprop says in the play. should be discharged.
 Mir. Innes was ready for 1t. To Mrs. Innes. who stool in the flies he kept giving strokes of the eye to tell her to get out of the line of ire; G. Grosve- nor Dave of the Commercial Club, that danced right heartily and Is now go- ing to pay, the fiddler, had arisen and become the protective person and warn- ed Mittie May and Little Johnalbert not to be alarmed when the terrible fusil- Jade rattled throughout the building; Mittie May and little Johnalbert and their friends had stopped their ears with their carefully washed fingers.
 Over In the wings there was a little noise like the tearing of calico. With expressive gesture, MT. Innte placed hand to ear and listened. Another strip was rended; MT. Innes made the gesture again. Americana" boomed and thundered and screeched and roared and the militia tore off another yard. Then MT. Innes laughed and the music proceeded.
 You have a very progressive city. MT. Innes said after the conclusion of the performance. Tt is the first time that the Maxim noiseless gun has been used in orchestral work"
 That was on the first night when the "cartridgers," as Stephen Crane makes an adorable nigger in one r0f his 'Whilomville Stories" say, didn't make a noise. It was naively but of- ncially reported that the powder had given out. which was, of course. mere detail in sU noisy a thing as "Ameri- cana" The next night there was enough sound from the "cartridgers" to make up for the lack of musketry of the preceding evening.

Frederick Neil Innes, who, as mem bers of the Commercial Club and other prominent citizens well remember, was recently in Montgomery, not only pro- duced some noble noise with his great band; he made merry with music. The auditors who went to the Grand Theatre and, once there. were real auditors In that they listened. laughed right heart fly at the pleasantries in which MT. Innes indulged In his patent adaptible, universal version of The Merry Widow"
 But that was not the funniest thing in the concerts; the funniest thing the auditors knew naught of because 1t was on the other side of Mir. Innes. You see. there are two sides not only of every question--at least. so Mittie Mays Mommer tells her when she seeks to make that charming little girl "do justice by teach er"--but MT. Innes as we'll.
 To begin with. Kant. or some other impossible person less aptly named. said that a walking-cane was an ex- tension of the personality. The baton of the musical director, a sort of wav- ing cane, Is assurediy an extension of the personality. Tn the hands-or rather. in the right hand-of MT. Innes it is. from the point of view of the au- dience behind him, the greater part of his personality of which the remainder is the well-formed back of a very creditable corpus.
 But there is another side of Mir. Innes. It Is hard to say whether 1t is the front or the back of MT. Innes. Tn stage language, 1t Is the back, for it is away from the audiences anatomically, 1t Is the front. The audience sees Mir. Innes's back and his baton; the mem- bers of the big band see the baton and his front, chiefly his face. It is his face that seems to speak as loudly as the baton.
 The wave of the baton. the gesticula- ton with band, the bow of the head, the sway of the body, the seeming uplift of the whole frame--those movements, to the people that have come to listen. are but as simple sig nals to musicians who are there to be listened to, whether in the laundering storms or in the gentle cadences of bird-song or running water, or the playful voices of those who love and may only coo and trill and kiss their passion.
 That other side of MT. Innes Is the wonderful side, the side that shows his face. It Is in the first place always the good-natured face. There were times when his musicians, perhaps, did not hit the moment, nay, the fraction of the moment. or when. perhaps. they blew or rubbed or scraped or plucked one-millionth too much noise; then in the midst of what, to the audience, seemed to be the usual knick.knacking of the baton, there was the indetermin- ate ocular message called by the

The negro's thinness caused much amusement yesterday. and had the con- tractors who put up the new building been present. they would have been guyed unmercifully about their escape proof iail.
 But MT. McCord gets the cake.
 A middle aged negro walked up early yesterday morning and requested that he be locked up and sent to Tusca- loosa. saying that he was as crazy as a loon.
