THEOLOGY BY MAIL.

New York, March 22.-Teaching
theology by mail is not new idea, as
promoters of the recently formed
school at Madison, N j., will testify,
but until now it has not been tried
with success. AT a gathering of prom
inent professors to be held here this
evening, the subject will be discussed
with a view to starting a correspon-
dence school in Theology in the near
future. The headquarters for the
school will probably be established in
some nearby New Jersey town. Some
of those associated with the new ven
ture were connected with the other
school and are not convinced that the
idea could not be successfully carried
out If properly managed. There are
said to be over 1000 men in various
parts of the country who have express
ed their willingness to support such
a school, and they will be largely bene-
fitted by the school. The prospective
students are men, in most cases, who
are not financially able to take up a
course in theology at any of the big
seminaries of the country. 1t is in-
tended, however, to give them a full
course of seminary lectures by mail.

Meridian, Miss, March PAT
an early date petitions will be cir
culated and a mass meeting called at
the Board of Trade by the friends OF
commission government. The petit
ton when signed by 10 per cent OF
the qualified electors will be presented
to the municipal board asking that
an election be called so that the peo-
pie can express their wishes through
the ballot.
The tampering with the commission
bill in it's passage through the legis-
lature, it being found too late to
secure it's correction, that some party
unknown had pasted an amendment
over section 10, when in fact the
amendment was section 10 A, has
called forth much criticism.
The bill, however, provides for the
initiative, referendum and the recall
of all officers except the three COM
missioners. The measure contem-
plated the application of the recall to
every officer small and large.
On the other hand, 1t is declared,
Governor Brewer would not have
signed the bill containing the recall
of the three commissioners, declaring
this provision unconstitutional.
The stand taken in this respect by
Governor Brewer is being severely
criticized. The bill was drawn by as
good lawyers as there is in the state
of Mississippi. The bill was passed
on by lawyers having a wide reputa-
ton and learned in the law, who de-
clared the bill good. Governor Brew
er, however, held the bill unconstitu-
tional and instead of submitting the
question to the supreme court, which
was created for the sole purpose of
determining constitutional questions,
took it upon himself to decide the
question.
ne ITleuuS OF COumlSSlOu SOfeIu-
ment, however, are greatly gratified
over the passage of the bill, as it pro
vides for a government far in advance
of the antiquated aldermanic system,
which is cumbersome. slipshod and
costly, slow in accomplishment and
bunglesome in achievement.
A campaign for better government
will be inaugurated in a short while
and Judging from expressions heard
on the streets and from business in
terests, the commission plan has
gained many friends, as a survey of
the awkward financial situation which
confronts Meridian through the alder
manic form Of government has
aroused the people to sense of their
danger, which they propose to stop be.

AN INSUFFICIENT
MAJORITY.

Rockcastle county voted few

the bond proposition had been
successful, but such was not the

The good roads advocates in
Rockcastle county made a good
fight. There were 7,27o votes
cast in the county. and of these
1879 were for the bond issue and
r.oer against it. This gave a
majority of only eighty eight, which
vas short nearly 400 votes of tie
number required to indorse the
proposition. The result in Rock
castle Is similar to that in Whitley

EDUCATIONAL VALUE OF
THE CHICAGO STOCK
SHOW.

This great show will be held
from November 80 to December 7
at the Union Stock Yards, Chicago
The entries are greater than ever
before, the quality of the stock
better and the interest among
farmers, breeders and feeders
keener than at any previous time.
1t may be interesting to state that
the International Live Stock Ex-
position, from comparatively
small beginning, twelve yeare ago
has assumed such Importance in
the live stock world, as to render
its annual occurrence an absolute
necessity, not only on account of
its being the high court of appeal
the court of last resort to stock
men, but because u sets the
stamp of approval upon those of
our domesticated animals that are
most in demand and establishes a
standard among stock that must
be lived up to in order to realize
for the breeders and farmers the
highest price for his produce.
The day Of tho inferior animal
the slow feeder and the tardy
money getter is passed and in
order to succeed and oh. ain the
best results in the shodest possible
time, otockmen must breed for
the types set by this great inter-
national tribunal; follow its man
dates, adhere to its principles
and abide by the f -dings of its
judges, in order to breed that
which is best, reaches maturity
the quickest and realizes the
highest price in the shortest time.
The ordinary observer has little
idea of what this Exposition is,
what it teaches and what it means.
1t must be seen 70 be appreciated
1t must be studied to lie under
stood.
No more pleasant time can b.
spent. no more practical lessons
learned, and no more valuable
knowledge gained, than by at
tending the eight days devoted
to this Show The stockman will
gain more real, sonnd, solid aud
serviceable information by attend
ing this Exposition than he can
gaia in ten times the period at
any other institution. At this
Show he sees the best of every
breed, his field for comparison is
immense, and his opportunities
for practical instruction almost
limitless. By attending this
Show, he combines business with
pleasure. knowledge with pract
ice, and education with example.
1t is the school of rapid learning
for the stockmsn a free education
that remains in his head, and
carries with it the methods where
BY the best live stock is produced
and most money made.

GOOD PLAN TO FOLLOW
IN TURNING UP HENS

1t is often difficult to make a neat
looking hem on a skirt or coat made of
very thick cloth, for unless it can be
pressed very fat with a heavy iron, and
sometimes even then there will be an
unsightly hump or bulge at the point
where the material is turned in at the
top of the hem and stitched.
good plan to follow when using
thick material for a garment is to turn
up the hem perfectly fiat, without turn
Ing in the top edge in the usual way;
then baste a piece of tape the color of
the material, or. IL the coIer cannot be
use black or dark material
and white on light material over the
raw edge of the hem and stitch it in
place on both the upper and lower edges.
By basting the tape in place the stitch
Ing can be done on the right side Of the
using the basting thread as a
guide.
In case Of wide hem where the ma
terial has to be laid in little pleats at
the top, it can be made TO lie fiat by
slashing the hem down from the top
Tor an inch. then tapping the material
over, thus making only two thicknesses
0f material instead OF three, as would
be the case with a pleat.
Silk seam binding can be used instead
II tap IL you desire, but that does not
wear so well as tape, and will have to
'e replaced when worn through.
