ABOUT RELIGION
HAS STOOD STILL so YEARS
Village Population Has Not Varied.
One Man in Every Forty
Five n Colonel

Paradise, Illinois, with $50 inhab-
itants, has many distinctions, chief
est of which is the fact that in pro-
portion to its population it furnished
more colonies to the federal armies
during the civil war than any other
place, no less than six being credited
to the village.
One of these, Col. True, was later
a brigadier general.
Paradise is without railroad COM
munication with the outside world
and can point to a stage line as it's
only means of passenger transporta-
ton. Indeed, it is the same village
today as it was when the news came
that Fort Sumter had been fired
upon. Grown a trife more sleepy
the town goes on it's way as quietly
as it did a half century ago.

SOME SUCKERS IN DAWSON, TOO
A Little Tale of Woe That Will, Per-
haps, Interest Them.

People interested in gold mining
stocks are to be found in almost
every community, and Dawson is not
the exception to the rule. An in
weston in that line has gotten off the
following effusion, which voices his
little tale of woe: THE stars will
come back to the azure vault when
the clouds are all blown away, and
the sun will come back when the
night is done and give us another
day; the COWS will come back from
the meadows lush, and the birds to
their trysting tree, but the money I
paid to mining shark will never
come back to me. The leaves will
come back to the naked boughs, the
flowers to the naked brae, the spring
will come back like blooming bride,
and the breeZes that blow in May;
and joy will come back to the strick-
en- heart, and laughter, and hope and
glee; but the money l blew for some
mining stock will never come back to
me-"

assured of permanence in the pres
ent attitude of state and city toward
gambling they would build here the
most magnificent temples of chance
in the world. But they know from
experience that there will be a re-
vulsiOn of feeling in Reno, that some
tragedy, some overt act or some
abuse of license will turn the town
upside down in night, and that
some of the gentlemen, now leading
citizens and most powerful and hon
ored in this curious community, may
be hOt-footing it to get away from
members of a vigilance committee.
The city not long since, as a first
move toward the suppression of vice,
had a referendum upon the question
of shifting the gamblers out of town.
1t was defeated by $50 votes in
poll of nearly 5000. The issue was
fought by the gamblers in a charac-
teristic method. A few days before
the vote was taken they closed their
saloons, left their electric lights I'M
lit, silenced their bands, of which
there are scores playing all night
long, and shrouded their bars. 1t
was as if the end of the world had
come in Reno. Business practically
stopped. Silence fell over the city
and men talked in whispers, OPP
pressed with the peace that spelled
desolation With their victory at the
polls began a saturnalia which was
only an exaggerated condition of life
in Reno, but which was regarded as
necessary and appropriate to cele-
brate so great triumph.
Reno by Night.
The scenes in Reno at night are
exciting and novel Great and gilt
tering lights shine out in front Of
the gambling houses. Crowds of men
and youth pass in and out of the
bars and gaming houses, bands play,
drunken men dance on the sidewalks
and shout and sing in convivial dis
cordance. Women mingle with the
crowd and rival the men with noise
and obscenity till day breaks, when
there is a short period of quiet, only
to be broken by the resumption OF
general disorder by the time OF mid
day.
Last year Reno used $500 packs
of cards a month. Stud poker, faro,
roulette and keno are the games
principally played. There are no
figures obtainable as to the amount
of liouor consumed daily, but most
gentlemen in this part of the coun-
try drink red-eye, and they are not
ashamed of the fact

SCORE PRESIDENT
BAPTIST MINISTER'S DISCUSS
RESOLUTIONS REBUKING THE
CHIEF EXECUTIVE.

PHILADELPHIA the recent
meeting of the Philadelphia Baptist
Ministerial Association resolutions re-
buking President Roosevelt for his
recent open letter on religious toler-
alton in politics were discussed. The
resolutions in question were brought
before the association by the Rev.
A. S. Hobart. professor at a local
theological seminary, and are as fol-
lows:
Whereas, the president of our
country has seen fit to denounce from
his high office as unwarranted bigot-
ry the action of some of our citizens
who refuse to ignore religious tenets
in connection with their voting;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That as was our funda-
mental teaching we steadfastly main
tain that mans religious faith, that
lis his attitude toward God, should
not be made a test for any political
office, but his moral and intellectual
fitness alone should be considered,
leaving him absolutely free in purely
religious matters.
Resolved, That, as we understand
the facts, the Roman Catholic church
lays claim on its clergy and it's
members not only for submission to
ecclesiastical superiors in matters of
opinion, but in all matters of daily
life, and has for centuries, whenever
it was possible, sought to visit physi-
cal pains and penalties on the DISC
bedient, and has until now and still
continues to teach bitter hostility to
our public schools and our separa-
ton of church and state, and seeks
to get from our government a recog-
milton at Washington as a foreign
political power entitled like other
powers to representation here, and
therefore is, and claims to be, very
much more than a religious organi-
cation, but very real and willy and
mighty political organization, con-
trolled from abroad by men who are
neither familiar with nor in sympa-
thy with our governmental ideas.
Resolved, That we appeal from
our president, excited and seemingly
ignorant of church history, to our
president, cooled off and better in
formed.
Resolved further, That it is not
in accord with our American liberty
that men be called bigots who exer-
else the right of private judgment in
matters of so much Importance as
their vote"

Railroad Commission Gets a Queer
Petition. Want the Rate Raised.
Expressing the conviction that a
two-cent passenger rate is not suffi-
Gent remuneration for the service
rendered by the Atlanta and West
Point railroad a number of patrons
of that ine have filed three petitions
with the railroad commission request
ing that an order be passed allowing
the road to increase it's passenger
rate to 2 70 cents per mile.
The petition came from LaGrange,
Palmetto and Fairburn.
The petitioners set forth that the
service of the Atlanta and West Point
railroad, in number of trains, class
of coaches, conveniences and general
service, is in their opinion decidedly
superior to any other line in the
state, and that it has also consulted
the best interests of it's patrons in
arranging its schedules.
1.-The principal advantage of lower
passenger rates" say the petitioners,
"accrues to passengers without the
state, who use the intrastate rate in
"a combination, less than the legal
interstate rate"

set.

january Opening a Record Breaker.

From the great number of letters
we have received from prospective
students stating they will be with
us ON January LIST our January en-
rollment will be a record-breaker.
Our work being practically all
taught on the plan of individual in
struction enables us to handle any
number of new students enrolling at
any time. 1t also enables us to give
each student the very work he needs
and push him as fast as his ability
will permit. A slow student is not
over crowded trying to keep up with
fast students, and fast students are
not discouraged and held back on
account of slower ones. There is no
other school in the country that

demands Of each student. This is
one reason why practically all our
students finish their course, and this,
together with the famous Byrne sys-
TENS we teach, is what enables us
to reduce the time to almost half
that required for a similar course
in other schools. Read the cata-
logue of the Athens Business Col

CATARRH MADE LIFE
A BURDEN TO ME.

ETISS ANNIE CATRON, 927 Main
AVE- ST., Cincinnati, Ohio, writes:
CAS- 1 have found Peruna blessing
for a severe case of catarrh of the head
and throat which / suffered from for
number of years, 1 am only too pleased
to give it my personal endorsement.
"Catarrh, such as l suffered from,
made life q burden to me, my breath
was offensive, stomach bad, and my
head stopped ZIP SO that I was usually
troubled with headache, and although
| tried many so-callod remedies, moth
ing gave me permanent relief. I was
rather discouraged with all medicines
when Peruna was suggested to me.
"However, did buy bottle, and be-
fore that was finished there was a
marked change in my condition. Much
encouraged I kept on until I was COM
pIeteLy cured in months time, and [
find that my general health is also ex-
cellent."
People who prefer solid medicines
should try Peruna tablets. Each tablet
represents one average dose of Peruna.

is ACCEPTED BY RICHMOND
VEXED QUESTION OF LOCATION
OF SHAFT TO MAJOR HENRY
WIRZ is SETTLED.

Richmond gets the Wirz monu-
ment. Both the R. E. Lee Camp and
the Richmond Chapter of United
Daughters of the Confederacy have
joined in preparations for it's recep-
ton, a location in Hollywood ceme-
terry having been rendered by the
owners of the cemetery.
The matter of transporting the
monument and setting it up in Rich
mond will, it is expected, be soon
taken up with Mr. c. ]. Clark of
Americas, who had the contract for
placing the shaft at Andersonville.
He will doubtless be asked to take
charge of the monument at Rich
mond.
The Savannah Press gives the fol-
lowing account of the securing of a
location for the Wirz monument at
Richmond:
The monument to Major Henry
Wirz, the Andersonville prison mar
tyr, viii stand in Hollywood ceme-
terry, Richmond, Va. This has been
definitely decided and negotiations
will begin in a short time to arrange
transportation for it from Americas,
where the monument has been COM
pleted, to Richmond 1t is expected
the monument will be unveiled on
June third, next year, the birthday
of Jefferson Davis. 1t will stand in
a prominent part of the cemetery
in close proximity ITO the graves of
the Davis family.

The unwilling of the monument it
is proposed to make a memorable af-
fair. Mrs. Perrin of Memphis, the
daughter of Major Wirz, will be
present, and there will be an Grafton
by some distinguished southerner
upon the occasion. 1t is expected
the Georgia division of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy will
send a large and representative dele
cation to Richmond for this event.
The special committee appointed at
the meeting of the division in Sa-
vannah to secure a site in Richmond
for the monument and arrange its
transportation has concluded the
work of securing the site, and Mrs.
N. B. Harrison so reported to Miss
Alice Baxter of Atlanta, the presi-

Can Man Fly?

II 1t be true that DR.. Rose, a Shrop-

WOULD TAX FORTUNES,
Congressman Condemns Custom of
Marrying For Money,

WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. Ia the
house today, Representative MEG avin
OF Illinois attacked the custom of
American heiresses marrying Europ-
can noblemen. Declaring he had no
particular person in view, he asserted
that "women are sacrificing their
souls and their honor on the altar of
snobbery and vice."
Mr.. McGavin was speaking on the
bill to tax dowries to titled husbands.
His remarks were made under the
license OF general debate and at times
they provoked laughter and applause.
The house, he said, was in committee
of the whole on the state Of the Union,
but he wanted to know what the state
OF the Union was and what it was
coming to, In view of these Internal.
ional unions between American heir
esses and alleged mobiles from abroad.
He expressly stated that he had re-
ference to no particular American
girl, nor had he prejudice against all
titled men, but be referred "only to
those who have a monicle in their eyes
and an idiotic look on their faces
those who have neither the disposition
to do good nor the ability to do
