alke. Rabbi Samdeld is staunch in the faith of his fathers, and it is not for The Times to say that this learned man is on the wrong track. We have great preachers in every denomination.
 We have good preachers here in For rest City of the character whom it is pleasure and source of instruction and editication to hear. It is this class of men that should be encour- aged, These are the men who should get the crowds, and not the strolling preacher, who is here today and some- where else tomorrow, and who is per haps a man who has never studied for the ministry, but is just making a speciality Of some line of talk he has picked up, perhaps, in the course of varied and questionable experiences.

called us up over the phone and said we had made very grievous mistake, and as our friend, desired to put us right. The writer did not hear or see the "Converted Jew" and per- haps in our zeal for the main point, may have overlooked some of his in- dividual merits, and did him an in- justice. But the main point, i. e., that the public allows our resident ministers, whom we know to be good and true, to preach to practically empty benches, and then fill the church to overflowing when some- thing on the vaudeville order comes along, is, to the best of our know. ledge and belief, true, and these con- ditions should be reversed. If we did the Converted Jew" an injustice, we are sorry, but we still believe that the pastors of our several churches, who live here, who bury our dead, marry our children, and attend the bedside of stricken members of our families, should have the best con- gregations, and be encouraged to the fullest extent in their good works.

In the Jackson county circuit court, sitting at Newport last week, Sam Gist was convicted on thirty indict- ments, and Jewel Best on twenty, for selling whiskey on the "blind tiger" plan, and fined $50 in each case. The fines amounted to s2500, besides the costs. They had also been convicted on similar charges at the previous term of court. Other indictments against the same parties will be con- tinued during good behavior From this we get the idea that it is rather an expensive business to operate a 'sblind tiger" in Newport or Jackson county, and that the authorities there are determined to run the tigers out of that community. Strenuous ef- forts along the same lines are being made in Paragould and Green county

Faxed Congregation.

A man who styled himself "eon- yerted Jew, preached and pulled of stereoptican stunt at the Baptist church on Tuesday evening, and we are informed that quite number of people turned out to hear and see.
 It seems that people are becoming more and more prone to encourage freaks, vaudeville and novelty in the pulpit. When good, clean, Christian men-men who walk uprightly and in the fear and admonition of the Lord, and who pass in and out among us every day, enter the pulpit to preach the gospel, there Is many times scarce ly corporal's guard present to hear tbe divine message;but let reformed drunkard," !" converted Jew" or an old time gambler" come along and make an announcement to preach, and, as usual thing, the people will flock to hear him.
 The Times is of the opinion that these strangers should be accepted with a grain of salt. We have good and consecrated men here at home, whom We know to be true and Cody, who are entitled to be heard. These men visit the sick, bury the dead and administer unto the suffering of the people. They are of us, by us,and for us-they live among us as teachers and leaders, and we know them, but stlll, In large measure, we allow them to preach to empty pews, while on the other hand when the stranger, With something novel in the way Of afake, perhaps, comes along, we turn out to hear him
 The Times hasn't very much faith Tn these "fy-by-night" preachers, neither are we very strong for the preacher who gets up in the pulpit to aouse and vilify his fellow.citizens. IL IS better to persuade. It Is the gospel that wins mems souls to Christ, and notelty and vaudeville in the pull pit should he taboed.
 We have no faith in the converted Jew He is probably converted for revenue only, (and by this we mean no 'ehection on the Jewish people As a fule they embrace religion in which lhe race is we'll grounded, ind as the constitution of this Repnt lie gives 'ssfy man the right to worship God according to the dictates C, iis own conscience, The Times las po d!sposi- ''oh to take issue with lhe Jc" and say that his religion is wrong.

Shoeblacks in this country are free from
female competition. Such is not the case

railway station at Zurich one comes
across three middle-aged women kneeling
ut their boxes and eager to impart lustre

of leisure they are generally seen knit

busy city and you will with difficulty 10

cities. and afterward the explorer pro-
ceeded through the valley to the east OF
Fzunling to Khotan, the districts previ-
ously explored by DR. Stein now Sir
Marc Aurel Stem. Thence the party
proceeded to Tibet for the purpose of
geological investigation.
Several districts were visited by Mr.
Tachibana which had been omitted by DIR.
Sven Hedin. These regions are absolutely
blank on the maps. and have never been
visited before.
Among the relics brought back are a
quantity Of writings of the Wfgol tribes.
by whom the Buddhist religion was first
introduced in Sin kiang and pronagated
throughought China. This tribe was en-
tirely wiped out by Mohammedan inyad-
ers The writings of the Wigols is from
right to left horizontally, and appears to
have been produced by reed pens. The
writings are on stones. papyrus and pa

AS soon as the records of the journey
have been collated the Hongwanji Temple
will issue a report on Mr.. Tachbanas
exploration, which will without doubt be
eagerly anticipated in scientific circles in
Europe apd America as we'll as in Asia.
