Editor OF the PLANET.

Editor OF the PLANET:
have been thinking over the work
OF Evangelist c. III. Phillips. Ger
tainly the public willingly pronounces
him most remarkable man in that
line OF work. They Will also con-
cede the fact of his usefulness AMI
great success that have attended him
throughout this great country. Think
OF the great work that has SO recent
ly been done in our fair city! Over
(i000) one thousand souls rejoicing
in their salvation and he having been
used as an instrument in Coo hands
for their salvation.
Does the public know that this DR..
Phillips is man of very humble cir
cumstances in this worlds goods
Do the people know that Dr. Phil
lips is pastor of one little church at
Beaver Dam, for which he has preach
ed for many long years at a very
small salary? And do the people
know that when a man becomes an
Evangelist that he is generally looked
upon as being suited for that work
only? He therefore becomes every
body's preacher.
DIR. Phillips, as I have said, is a
man OF humble means and Il seems
to me that Richmond aud the frienss
abroad could not do a more graceful
act than to raise a handsome purse
of money for this God-sent man, so
that I'm case health breaks down, he
would not suffer or be turned out of
doors
1t will be remembered that such
men es Moody, Bliss. Sankey, Sam
Jones and mny others engaged in
evangeiistic work were cared for by
their host of friends, In that. funds
were raised for them to protect them
in the hour OF need.
Will not the friends of this work
In some formal tangible way make
it successf

Senate was mixed up with the
Standard Oil Company.
Senator McLaurin, OF Mississippi,
who should not be confused with the
South Carolina McLaurin. helped
Mr.. Tillman along by telling some
good negro stories TO illustrate that
people in the South treated the ne
gro better than did white people in
the North and West. OF course
Senator McLaurin was talking
glad enough TO sit there while he
drawled out funny yarns and gave
the real thirg in the way of Negro
dialect
One OF the stories Mr.. McLaurin
told was about a negro carpenter
from Brandon. Miss. who went TO
Kansas with about all the other ne
groes of his town TO test John j.
Ingalls, assertion that the negro
would receive good treatment and
be prosperous in Kansas. Mr.. Nc
Laurin said that these Mississippi
emigrants Jared so badly that all OF
them died of consumption except the
carpenter, who when he found his
savings reduced to the sum of $3.50
decided to return to Mississippi As
he did not have enough money TO
pay railroad fare he went afoot. At
every house where he applied for
work he was told politely that there
was no employment to- give him. but
that he could have something TO eat
Invariably. however, he was charged
four bits for each meal and In the
course Of two days found himself
without means and very far from
home After sleeping one night in
an outhouse he rose cold and half
starved and went to prosperous
looking residence near by to ask for
food. In response to his KNOCK the
door was opened by white man who
cried out:
What are yo doing knocking at
my front door you black rascal2"
Il want something 20 eat" said
the carpenter from Brandon.
We'll, go around to the back door
and get II then. you rascal, YOU" re
sponded the white man.
Then the old negro, remembering
the polite way in which his requests
had been refused at other places in
Kansas, threw up his hands and ex
claimed:
biesS OaWu, i Sc among my owl
people az lasti''
And according To Mr.. McI.aurin
the negro was right. for the Missis
sippi Senator declared that the only
white man who had shown charity tC
the Mississippi negro in the State oi
Kansas was from Rankin county
Miss, in which Brandon is situated
There was good deal of tall
during the secret session about tbs
race question, and Senator Bacon o.
Georgia expressed the hope that wha'
was said would not be lost to IN,
| world. He argued. therefore tha'
the doors OF the Senate should b,
thrown open so that the speeches o
the Senators might be reported fol
the country. a motion made by hin
10 have the doors opened met with
| overwhelming defeat.
Finally, when il was getting dark
|, somebody made the point that q
quorum was not present. A call ot
the Senate was ordered, but IL failed
to obtain the presence OF a sufficient
number of Senators TO conduct busi-
ness. Then the Senate adjourned

RESERVES
DECISION.
Judge Mullen Speaks Plainly
DECLARES REV. TARTTE SHOULD REsIGN-A HINT
THAT HE SHOULD LEAVE PETERSBURC-TH
ELDER PRESIDES AT A CHURCH MEETING.
MORE MEMBERS EXCLUDED.

Petersburg, Va, Feb. 6.-The mo-
tlon TO set aside the verdict OF the
Jury in the cases of the Rev. ELI
Tartte, pastor Of the Harrison Street
Baptist Church. colored, and OF Jo-
serh White, colored, an adherent OF
Tartte's was elaborately argued be-
fore Judge Mullen OF the Hastings
Court to-day.
The two men were convict
cd in the Police Court of melting
riot on the evening OF a business
meeting at the church, and were each
sentenced TO a term of six months In
jail, White getting an additional SEN
tence OF fine and Imprisonment for
carrying a pistol.
From the Police Court the par
ties Gppearsd TO the Hastings Court
and on trial the jury Increased the
term OF Imprisonment OF each from
six months to twelve months, and
the court was asked TO set this veI-
dict aside.
In court to-day Commonwealth s
Attorney Mann vigorously opposed
the setting aside of the verdict, and
urged. for the good OF the church
and the community. that the court
sustain the verdict and uphold the
penalty imposed by the jury.
On the other hand, counsel for the
observation-disclosures Isassiter and
Drewry and Paul Pettit-as vigorous
ly urged the overruling OF the YER
dict. arguing that Il was contrary 20
the law and the evidence in their
cases, and excessive in the punish
ment imposed. There was large
crowd OF people. both white and
colored, in the courtroom during the
argument.
Judge Mullen. in announcing that
he would take the case under con-
sideration and render his decision
at the February term of the court,
took occasion to briefly review the
history OF the troubles I'm Harrison
Street Church, which had extended
through a period of some years.
He had carefully studied the sit
uation and in doing so had endeav-
ored TO keep a cool head and a strict
ly impartial mind. There are, In his
Judgment two factions in the church
-one determined. II IL cannot rule,
to ruin the church: the other equally
resisting and determined the other
way. Neither could be right all the
time or wrong all the time. II is in
the interest OF the community that
these dissensions and troubles should
cease, and that at once.

Curious Trees,

Among the curiosities of tree life Is the solar, or whistling tree, of Nubia. When the winds blow over this tree it gives out futelike sounds, playing away to the wilderness for hours at a time strange, weird melodies. It is the spirit of the dead singing among the branches, the natives say, but the sci entific white man says that the sounds are due to myriad of small holes which an insect bores in the spines of the branches. The weeping tree of the Canary islands is another boreal freak. This tree in the dryest wealth CT will rain down showers from it's leaves, and the natives gather up the water from the pool formed at the foot of the trunk and find it pure and fresh. The tree exudes the water from innumerable pores at the base of the leaves.

HIS OFFER NOT APPRECIATED
Elderly Gentleman May Have Meant We'll, But the Damsel Was
 Suspicious.

The plump waiter girl at the lunch counter, having nothing to do at the moment, was trying to reach with her fingernails a place on her back well up between the shoulders, but with her short and chubby arms she was unequal to the task. In vain she squirmed and struggled, and twisted her face. She failed to achieve the desired connection.
 The elderly man on the outside of the counter, who had been fighting a piece of overdone steak, leaned for ward and spoke to her in low tone, but with intense earnestness.
 My dear young woman,' he said pardon the freedom of man who has grandchildren almost as old as you are, but if you will come a little closer I shall take pleasure in scratch ing that spot for you, as see that you can't quite"
 Mind your own business!" she snapped.
 How seldom-O, how seldom-is g good deed or a generous impulse ap preciated in this ungrateful world!
