over the entire mater with Mr.. Wat
son. 1t is not the intention that
such paper shall in any wise antag-
oniZe Or trench upon the field of the
Watson Magazine or the Weekly
Jeffersonian. Mr.. Watson has
wrought nobly. His trenchept pen
and eloquent tongue have probed
evils and laid bare conditions which
call for very vigorous treatment. His
publications are primarily Political
and Literary. He has struck Roman
ism as no other man has in a cen
fury. The amount of matter the ma
terial available for this work, the
conduct of the fight for the right On
the religious and moral side, would
overflow all his space. To handle it
we must have another publication
especially devoted to that feature OF
the work. Mr. Watson agrees this
is true and m st heartily seconds the
motion for this publication. Help us
and we can have it and we will make
a united fight for the right and win.

THE, -JEFFER SONIAN
The Christian LiberatOr

crushing both individuals and states
The American constitution has be-
come an obsolete instrument, and the
law is made rather than interpreted
by the highest courts in the land.
The Judicial Department has taken
the reins to rule over the Legisla-
tive. We are coming to time when
we shall have a repetition Of Star
Chambers" in both State and
Church; indeed we have it. already
in many things, and unless we re-
sist and make united cause we shall
sink into helpless slavery.
We propose to give the people
paper in which they can make
united, red-hot fight for the Right
and against the Wrong, all the way
from the bottom to top and from
center to circumference, a paper that
will invite the oppressed to speak,
expose evils, prosecute wrong and
strive for the ideals embodied in the
Word of God and The American Con-
stitution.
Now: Such paper will be expen-
slve. The mechanical work will be
costly. We propose to secure the
very best talent, the ablest writer's
to be had. We propose to enter upon
the organization of a Protestant
League against the power of Rome.
There will be fierce opposition and it
may be dangerous. Rome's history
has been marked by blood, she has
her Jesuits and the Jesuit's oath
shows he will stop at nothing. I'm
less we can secure large subscrip-
ton list such paper will be simply
impossible. It will take united eff
fort, time, means, and much work
But we believe it is gloriously pos
sible. We issued the first notice
few days ago. There has been a re-
Spouse from all over the land, South
and North. Names are coming in
punches in every mail. Many are
writing letters of endorsement. If
it is done at all we must unite our
efforts. Somebody must take the
Initiative. Unless we do unite our
efforts and do this work, Romanism
and the evils mentioned above will
march forward to victory and we
shall be crushed While we have
free speech and press we must use
them, unless we do the time is not
far off when they will be taken away
and then it will be too late.
We ask you to do three things:
l. Send us your name Ono money
now as an advance subscriber for
the paper, agreeing to pay one dol
lar for a years subscription, when
you receive the first copy.

What Worried Him

From the Boston GIObe.
 A peculiar instance of connubial affec- tion occurred some time ago in Vermont. An aged couple, who through half a cen tury of married life had wrangled with each other, were in all probability soon to be separated The husband was talk en i'll and was believed to be near his end The old wife came to his bedside and after carefully examining and taking stock of his condition, exclaimed: Well, dady, your feet are cold. your hands are cold and your nose is cold"

 When the national assembly is formed it will begin by devoting it's attention to
 the framing of the constitution and then the president of the republic will be elect ed. Whether there will will not be second chamber is matter on which It is not now possible to express an opinion,

ALL NOT SERENE
 IN LAND OF GEAR

St. Petersburg. May 2o.-(special)-- While on the surface the revolutionary movement appears to have pretty well died out in Russia as an active threaten ing force to the government. occasionally there reaches the public some bit of news which indicates that all is not so serene in the land of the Czar as the officials would like to have it believed.
 For example the Ritch family recently presented an item to the effect that 40 soldiers attached to the artillery at Smo- lensk have been placed under arrest as the result of the disappearance of a strong box in charge of the regiment, containing secret communications belong ing to the Czar.
 What the character of the missing docu- ments are is not stated, but 1t is. believed they contain information of great value to the revolutionaries.

ParaIytic Shoots Wife

Paris December 16.-(Special. )-An ex- traordinary story of murder by paralytiC subject comes from Lille. Two of the most notable members of the colony of beggars known to all who have motored from Roubaix to Lille along the new five mile boulevard, were a blind man and paralytic subject, paralyzed In both his legs and IT his left arm. They habitually went out to- gether. The blind man pushed the carl iii which the paralytic was seated, and the paralytc who gave guiding intruc- tions sold strips of paper which, were SUD- posed to tell the future of those who bought them.
 They were thought to be the best friends in the world But early this year the par alytic began to suspect that his compan- ion was paying too marked attention to his wife The suspicion remained unut- tered until recently the paralytic once more got his companion to hoist him on to the cart. Turning round he said: '1 have found you out" and then fired two revolver shots at his wife stanling at the door, His wife fell desperately wounded. The man then cooly asked the blind man to push the cart along to take him to the police station, where he told his tale and gave himself up with the utmost sang froid.

INVESTIGATE THE
 ORIGIN OF STOCKINGS

Paris, December 16-(Special.)- IA writer in French newspaper has been investi- gating the origin of stockings. It appears that Henry IT.. when preparing for the marriage of his sister in 1859 first com ceived the idea of silk hose. and was the first to wear silk knitted stockings at that epoch making event.
 A hundred years later one Hindres es- tablished a factory for stockings in the Bois de Boulogne This was the first hos iery factory in France. It was success at the start, and when it received pro lection from the then ministers it was a kind of gold mine
 In 1666 the venture was turned into a company. From it arose "The Society of Silk Stocking Makers" At this time ribbed stockings were made in England, but it was not until nearly century later that such wear was introduced into France.
 The idea was then favorably received and factories were established in Paris and al Lyons.

Hooligans Yell Fire

Bordeaux, December 16.-(Special.)-A cowardly outrage was perpetrated here by a gang of hooligans who started a panic at the Alcazar theatre by setting fire to newspapers and programmes in the gal lery and shouting "Fire!" A matinee of the melodrama "The Lyons Mail' was being given, and the theatre was packed. Seeing the flames and smoke the audlo ence was seized with panic. There was a stampede for the doors and soon the nar- row exits were damned by shriekng mob. The hooligans contributed to the panic by smashing all the tables and mir
 TOTS in the refreshment bars of the house with chairs. Some of the spectators in the upper part of the theatre clamored in their terror over the balustrades of the balconies. A superstrncture gave way be- meath their weight and several fell into the stalls and were seriously hurt. Other spectators jumped> out of the windows of the theatre into the street. A police man on duty at the door, who vainly tried to stem the stampede, was knocked down and tramped on, 300 persons pass ing over his body. He was very badly in- iured. In all a score or so of people were hurt. The hooligans who started the stampede escaped in the excitement.

Industry is the greatest highway to con- tentment. Wherever heads and hearts are interested the muscles give best service and the most satisfactory results are at- tained. There Is a vast difference be- tween greed and the desire to be inde- pendent. Greed cloisters all the fruits of ones labor around self. Independence is never perfect unless you are unselfish and thoughtful of others. The consciousness of our own attitude either covers or frees us. In our own knowledge of the truest principles are we able to feel the freedom that man craves for. Truly conscience makes towards of us all"
 The constant ticking of the clock re- minds us that time is passing on to eter- nifty; the continual nagging of the thoughts lead us to the certainty of our sense of right and warns us of the fleet ing and wasted hours No wonder nature is best when employed and happiest when other than selfish interest is served. The world over there are ready, willing hands tilling the fields, that others burdens may be lessened, that other paths are brighter, that the harvest may be stored for win ter days, that those days be not dark and dreary," even though the suns rays finger behind a heavy cloud

faithful eyes and hands, that keep me and help me to enjoy my confinement"
 She has reaped the harvest of industry; she has plucked the choicest fruit, con tentment and that peace that carries blessings to others, and lays a foundation of hope for those who are wondering what they can do. There are many will ing workers in the world if they only knew how. Then isn't it a crime to allow our young women to grow up without knowing the real virtue of industry ? While we are feeding their minds we should be bling the maAline, giving actlv- ity to the hands, teach them to think out their life's plans, and with their own hands mould their own fate.
 The Turks say ''the devil tempts every body, but the idle man tenpts the devil" " False pride is a great companion for idle ness; many have the desire to do, but fear the desire may be construed as a necessity. Necessity Is a great power force is a great factor in the effort. Many of us are more often moved by compul- sion than spirit; yet if the spirit is. with held there is a handicap. There is no disgrace in work, but should be great humiliation in failure to do ones best. If the best is given the effort is worthy and perseverance will attain results. No man knows his power until it is weighed with experience No invention was ever a success until 1t was tried. Thus the in- dividual must be trained to duty-it is natures safeguard against misery-must betaught helpfulness to self and others because it Is law of nature; must re- frain from selfishness as 1t is a blight upon character and hinderance to progress.

RUSSIAN STUDENTS CHARGED WITH THEFT

St. Petersburg, December 16.-(Special.)- J. A university student and-still higher in the rank of honor according to Russian ideas-a student of the Military academy, have been arrested for successful thefts al the Guards stores, a cooperative un- dertaking for the best classes of society only. Both youths, who belong to good families, had been in the habit of manip- ulating the pay checks stamped by the cashier on which the goods are handed over the counter. After making purchases for large sums-over $500 in one case--a small separate purchase was made ana the necessary figures inserted to cover the large purchase.
 Another trick was more easily discov- cred. Here the prisoner had simply rubbed out the original figures and substituted a higher one. The interest attaching to the thefts is only accounted for by the rank of life to which the prisoners belong.

Therr are no men more jealous of their personal dignity than the great Indian princes and noblemen, and as no less than 196 titles are officially recognized it is clear that the Indian foreign office has a big task on hand. At the head of the whole Indian aristocracy comes the Nizam of Hyder abads, who rules with almost absolute sway over a kingdom twice as large as Bavaria and Saxony combined, and whole title can only be translated by King" There are different titles for Mahome- tans and Mindus, so that it is possible to distinguish the race and religion of prince by his title. Maharajah (great prince) Rajah (prince) and Rao are borne only. by Hindus, Nawab and Khan by Mahometans. These are the commonest titles, but the role also includes nine Su- tans, three Jams and a Zamorin (Sea I[ine).
