y PORTRAIT OF CIin.sr.


The Stauntoa Leader reprints tho
spurious description OF Christ attribr
ted TO Lcntulus. 1t Is now gelcrally
conceded that tins portrait has no
foundation In history ana was manu-
featured, Volumes have been written
about the physical appearance of the
Saviour, and various schools nave DIFF
fcrcd widely on such Il point as His
ordinary depression. From early days
until the present time, writer's have
given their ideas as to what the l1ingly
Man OF Galilce looked like, but in every
case the result is purely corjectural.
Probably no one has come nearer
the truth than George r.. vending, in
his masterful lecture here recently on
Christ. He said:
Let us draw near and look for 4
moment at the Wonderful Speaker. one
Of the most singular things about Him
is the fact that you will NOT accept as
adequate any verbal description OF
Him, and can give none yourself. Nor
does the ever-magic pencil OF the most
gifted artist completely satisfy MS
when he depicts the face and form OF
the Galllean. There may be CLEANED
however, from tradition and uoduccd
from certain passages in Ills biogra-
ply a picture which probably is true
though not all the truth:
Gle is tall in stature, perfcctly
formed. and there Is no spot or blemisll
OIL Him.
1T cannot be doubted that physically

His brow is smooth.
les complexion IL very clear.
His eyes are blue with the dark blue
of the sky.
Ills long hair and His beard are
brown.
Ills every feature is perfect.
In consequence OF His physical per
lection, all His motions are graceful
Ills bearing Is modest and dignifed
and Ills voice is soft and low.
no wears the costume OF His pco-
PIE and Ills time: n tunic and an outer
! robe, sandals on Ills feet, and square
OF linen on His head. doubled SO that
a corner falls on each shoulder and on
the back.
We do not see In His face. as the
medieval painters saw, the rapture
of n mystic nor the stcrnness OF ia
matte. nor do we find in Ills cyc the
burning light of an enthusiast /,
SSciHS 10 Us tHdt we see lntNnauStlDl c
patience, imnovablc tirmncss, wonder

THE SOUTHERN ",IERGEIi"
DROPPED.

By a vote OF IS to 20 the South Caro-
lima House OF Representatives, has
passed a resolution adopted by the
Senate OF that State directing the At
torncy General to drop the merger
case against the Southern Railway.
which absorbed several railroads in
South Carolina ten or twelve years
tho provision OF the State Constitution
forbiddlng the requirement and opera
ton of other and competing lines. The
case has hung on for years, and, after
almost interminabln delay on the part
of the state. was brought TO trial about
two months ago with the result that
the Southern Railway was held to have
done nothing contrary 10 the law and
the Constitution. The State gave no.
tice of appeal, if the legislature should
so directs and the Legislature has now
adopted the only right course by. order
ing the Attorney to discon-
,inuc further litigation on the part OF
the state.
ihclc Was ueNcT HHN reason why
the State should have instituted pro-
ceedings. There was never anything
IN tile ease but the prospect of Good
pickings for somebody in counsel fees
or costs. There was never any v.o-
tation of the Constitution in the owner
ship and operation OF the So called COM
peting lines. This was the Judgment or

case was tried, and at large and an

DEATIIBED JOURNALISM.

The other day gentleman died in
one of tho hospitals In Baltimore, and
when the end came the woman to
whom he was engaged in marriage
was with him, as she had been through
his distressing illness. That was
wholly natural and pathetic, but why
should it have been printed in the
newspapers? The woman clasped the
dying mans hand in hers; but why
should any account of such parting
as that have been given in the news
papers? Is there really no line that
can be drawn between what is fit to
print and wha, should not be printed ?
Has it come 10 this that men cannot
die in this country without getting
their pictures In the papers?

LOCAL OPTION IN ALABAMA.

Statewide prohibition has been de-
feated in Alabama. After debate OF
five hours, in which the whole subject
was discussed in all its bearings, the
Alabama House decided last Thursday
by vote Of SIS to Il that the whiskey
traffic in that state hereafter shall
be regulated BY the local option system
This means the end Of the blind tiger
and the reign OF law 1t is charged
that the result WAS obtained by the
failure OF tho members OF the Legis-
laturc TO keep thcir pledges; but no
body believes such 4 libel upon the
Legislators. The action of the Legisla-
ture. it is explained, does not moan
that the state will he thrown open to
the liquor dealer, as tho new law will
not go into effect until regulativc
measures have been adopted, and then
It is expected that the law will be en-
forced. Prohibition does not prohibit:
but regulation can and will regulate.

PAT CANNON
ISSUES A Def
To PROF. Braun

Tug-of-War contests are no more,
and it was believed after Tonopah
and Goldfield had played their
schedule of football games that
things in sporting would lie DORM
ant throughout the long winter
months, but such is not to be.
Like thunderclap from clear
sky in bolted Pat Cannon into the
Bonanza Office, and with him def
accompanied with 800 of cold bull
lion hurled full into the face of
our own Professor Braun.
The challenge is for Il wrestling
match for the weterweight cham
pionship of Nevada to take place in
Tonopah at the earliest date con-
venient to Professor Braun, accord
ing to Cannon.
This is second challenge to
Braun by Cannon. Cannon claimed
that Braun told it about town that
he Cannon did not have the coin
of the realm which would induce
him CBraunD to accept the def.
Hence when Cannon challenged
this time he came with the money.
Cannon states that the 500 is to
go as a side bet and the winner of
the contest takes all the gate re-
ceipts and the side bet. The fol-
lowing is the challenge verbatim to
Braun:
Braun:
Cannon is after Braun. Pat
Cannon has deposited 500 with
the sporting editor of the Bonanza
to go as a forfeit for a wrestling
match. Cannon is willing tC
wrestle Braun fer side bet and
winner to take side bet and all the
gate receipts. Now is the time fol
Prof Braun to get busy
CSigned) PAT CANNON"
More cannot be done until some
thing is heard from Professo
Braun. However, it is to be HOPED
that some arrangements can b.
made whereby the sporting publ
will have an opportunity to Sc
either good wrestling or boxini
match Either would do. But nov
that the wrestlers are here, let
hear from both sides, and the
talk business.
