the jury viewed the remains, and they
were then carried away.
Alt the evidence goes to ahow that
Melamer had bean drinking heavily
Wednesday. Ha had been to Salisbury
and a half pint flash waa found on
his person. There Is nothing to Indi
cate foul play, for the posture of the
body and tha nature of the wounds
preclude any such Idea All the testi
mony given at the Inquest points to
the fact that Mel smer was drunk and
had gone - to steep on the tracks. He
was last seen about 10 o'clock. The
killing .took place between that time
and S o'clock yesterday morning. In
addition to the whiskey, a watch and
14.4S In cash were found In his pock
ets.
Melsmer was formerly an employe In
the Chad wick Mill, His wife died
about six weeks ago and since then be
has been living In Charlotte doing odd
Jobs here and there. -He appeared In
tne recorders court about a week ago,
charging a young man. named Mull,
from Rutherfordton, . with the theft of

was bound over, but later proved
clear case and was released. Little
has been seen or heard of Melsmer
since.
After hearing the testimony of half

death as the result of being struck by
a southern Railway train.
B1UZIL.LIAV8 DRAW CROWD.
Party of Gaudily Garbed South
Americans Attract s Deal of At
tention at tlie Southern Depot
A nomadic Band or coppersmiths,
There was a great attraction at the
Southern Railway depot Wednesday.
so great that the balcony waa crowd
ed with spectators who looked down
into the colored section of the wait
ing room upon a gaily garbed crowd
of dusky men, women and chllren
with much curiosity.
inquiry revealed the fact that the
Interesting party Vas entirely com
posed of nomadic Brazilians who had
Just arrived from Ashevllle. The fa
cial types set oft as they were by
highly-colored kerchiefs and sliver
spangles, were extremely attractive
and would have furnished most In
teresting models for a painter. These
types varied from the extremely high
cheeked Indian to the delicate Spanish
with oval face, thin lips and large,
dreamy, sensuous eyes.
The party numbered four men, eight
women and about twenty children, the
latter garbed In a manner evidently
conducive to comfort In the hottest
weather and not necessitating any
great amount of mateital. These Bra
zilians are expert copper smiths and
travel from place to place doing all
kinds -of repair work on boilers, ket
tles and - other metal vessels usually
found In the housewife's kitchen. They
expect to remain ln Charlotte for- a
few days before going to South Caro
lina towns.
The appearance of the skin and
clothing of these people would lead
one to think that they had followed
the example of the subject of a well
known soap poster which adorned bill
boards In every section of the country
several years ago. The! poster showed
a very grimy Individual seated at an
Improvised table penning the follow
ing testimonial to the soap manufac
turers: "I used your soap two yeara
ago and haven't used any other since."
Mr. John N'olcn to be Here Early In
May.
Mr. John Nolon. architect for the
Charlotte park and tree commission.
Is due to arrive In the city from Cam
bridge, Mass., early In May. He comes
for the purpose of looking after cer
tain private work that he has In charge
and also to make the final arrange
ment of plans for the Improvements In
Independence Park. This work has
already been started, one driveway
having been completed. As soon as
Mr. Nolen .has Inspected what has
been done, a force of men will be put
to work at owe to carry out the re
mainder of the plans, which are very
extensive.
Mr. Nolen will be in Charlotte but a
few days. Any who desire to con
sult with him may make appointments
through the prk and tree commission.
Hie Need of a Baseball Team.
"The long summer afternoons are
coming on and what are we to do to
amuse ourselves?" asked a well-known
cotieni merchant of an Observer report
er yesterday. "One soon becomes tired
of driving and autolng Is an expensive
(pleasure. (When the shadows begin
to lengthen, and . that tired feeling
takes hold of a fellow, he wants to
get away from the crowded streets
and And a cool place where he can
rest, do nothing but rest.
"Baseball Is the medicine for many
Ills. Can't Charlotte get up some kind
of a team. Why there has not been
a match game of ball In the city this
Hfiison. If things continue as they are
now much longer, I shall have to got
on the train, go to New York and see
sme good games of ball."

Ths parable of the sower, connected
as it Is with an ever-recorring. pro
cess of nature, !: a can nsver 1 become
effete. And. as that process Is one
on whinh ihe verr sustenance of hu
man life depends, an on wonted dig
nity attaches to tne paraoie.
as Jesus' i own,: Interpretations is ai
tached. It is impossible to g astray
In the search for Its meaning.
In Imagination I hold in my hand a
grain of wheat; Just like that which
the sower, went forth to sow. What
I that seed? Perhaoa von say: "It
is brown." But I did not ask the
color. "Oblongr No. I djd not aak
the shape. These are but few "ac
cidents" of the seed. At the center
of that stain there la an essence
an Indescribable, invisible something,
me Latins can , it vsuosuiwia, mo
Inner principle of the seed. It is this
which gives the accidents of color.
slse and shape. Extract that prln
clple, and there is nothing left. '
The gospel tls a seed. It may be
written or sooken. It may be
Scrlptarej ' ; hymn, sermon, prayer,
tract, Sunday, school teaching, ex
hortation. The accidents of form are
multiple. . But at the heart of It there
must be a divine principle of life.
They must be Jesus' words of spirit
and life, The gospel seed
requires a sower. There are some
seeds which nature has provided
with the means of sowing themselves,
These are, however, the exceptions
which prove the rule. They are
usually, too, the seeds of worthless
weeds. About In the ratio of their
value Is skill and care required In
the. planting of good seed. As multi
plex as the forms of the seed, so
are the sowers. Whoever presents
gospel truth in such manner that its
power accompanies It is a sower of
the seed. The seed implies a soil.
And the soils are as multiplex . as
the sowers snd the seeds.
Across the Oriental fields footpaths
may still be seen. Though allowed.
they partake of the nature of trea
pass. Farmers not accidentally,
but purposely sow upon them for a
witness that the claim to them Is
not abandoned. The unwakened hu
man heart is a path trodden hard
by. sin and evil habits. Yet It be-
on gs to God. He still claims It
His truth Is sown upon it Tor a testi
mony. But in such Instances the
soul of the gospel does not touch the
soul of the man. There Is an out
ward hearing, indeed, but no Inward
comprehending. And the seed Is
quickly taken away by the evil one,
who sends Irrelevant thoughts, pleas
ure, business, etc., as a flock of
birds to devour the seed.
Some seed fall upon a film of soli
which covers a ledge of rock. The
rock holding the heat acta like
forcing house, and causes the seed
to germinate all the more quickly.
But there Is no chance to draw moist
ure from the depths of the soil. For
permanent and healthful growth.
the seed of the gospel must grow as
deep as it grows high. There muBt be
as much Interior life as there Is ex
terior expression, as much belief With
the heart as confession with , the
tongue. But the unbroken, rocky
covering of the heart renders an in
terior growth Impossible. The life
of the seed Is beautiful, but brief.
The same sun that, caused it to ger
minate, withers It. There
still another solt which, though
untrodden and free from rock, " yet.
has secreted In it roots of poisonous
thorn bushes. The thorns and the
wheat grow together, but the thorns
faster and more luxuriantly. . They
rob the wheat of the nourishment of
the soli which belongs to It, its por
tion of sunshine, dew and rain: they
poison It with noxious breath, they
wound It with their sharp briars, they
choke It. Two conditions of human
life seem here referred to. The poor.
whom often the extreme anxiety
bout temporal affairs and absorbing
attention to the making of a living
chokes the spiritual life; and , the
rich, who in their abundance are
prone to forget God, and indulge
themselves to such an extent as to
stifle all spirituality. The
good ground may now be defined by
contrast. It Is not the wayside.' It
Is not stony. It is not thorny. It
a soil that has been plowed 'Snd
harrowed, stirred to Its depths , .A
soli that has caught the sunlight and
rain, and holds them. A soli ethat
will receive the seed and hide it ant
warm it in., Its bosom. Ruch a soil
will product a hundred-fold, f More
earnestness an honest and good
heart is a good soil. 1
THE . TEACHER'S LANTERN. -
With consummate strategy, Jesus
ent to . "the masses." - The - feast-
times found him in Jerusalem, where
he widely-scattered Jews were wont
gather. The Intervals between the
feast found Htm on the shores of
Galilee, the center of population.
The manner of His life attracted. He
was no mendicant. His humble
retinue had a common purse, " meager
no doubt, but sufficient, with- what
the women ministered who. followed
His train. Yet there was'no os
tentation, though the wife of Herod's
hier steward was with Him. By
deeds of kindly helpfulness, He
Identified Himself with ths people
He hsd come to seek ' snd to save.
We have s clue to the shte of Jesus'
audiences in the fact that on one
occasion there were five thousand
men, not Including Women and chil
dren. It waa at this epoch
thst Jesus' preaching suffered a
change ot style so marked as to ex
cite the wonder of His disciples, and
put a question on their Hps, An
emergency made, the change neces
ssry. In ths heterogeneous' mass be
fore him, there were soma from
whom it wss necessary to hide for'
a time the essential nature of His'
Kingdom. Had Hs proclaimed Him
self explicitly ss only Xing of Hearts,
He would heve-pj-eclpltated His: fate
before .He could have sown His ssed
and-trained His apoatolla eoHege. At
the 'fssms'J-,.. time 'tf':-:'eohfused fv.-the;
worldly-minded and hostile. It stimu
lated the "docile - to an Inquiry, which
was always rewarded. Like Ood's
lantern m ths sky which led Israel's
wilderness march,' the parable wss
light to Jesus': friends, dark to' His
foes. ; ,; . Jeaus' incomparable
legacy to His church is His thirty
three , parables. If. alt the rest of the
Bible were lost, there Is enough - in
these word-pictures to sho,v what the .
kingdom of heaven lay and hew to
get Into ft. A ilttio mind
seeks to magnify itself by the use of
the recondite .and obscure. It Is the
msrk of a great teacher that he 'can
make the commonest objects and pro
ceases of nature or art ths vehicle
of Instruction, t finch Was,, Jesus'
method. ' ii'1' J -
