Mrs. Eddy in her V'Words to the Wise" announces that "rotation in of fice promotes wisdom, quiets mad am bition, satisfies justice, and crowns hon est endeavor," and there is a general shakeup all along the line of Christian Science leaders, though, of course, no one thinks of applying the doctrine to Mrs. Eddy herself. The Lake George "anti-imperialists" have offered their letter as a campaign document to the democratic congression al campaign committee.

He is not only a literary humbug, but it is not many weeks since a Buffalo, N. Y., newspaper announced 'that a judge in ' that city had ordered him to pay $10 a week for the support of his ille gitimate child. This is not a pretty item, but it is one which demonstrates imnrthlssnpss and insincerity of Hubbard as a champion of children's Tights. i tutes-the religious element in , life." As -to. the first, cause, the Outlook says; When the old-time religious newspapers "were started small attention " was .given to religious matters' byJ:the daily .press; now; all the leading newspapers devote large space .both to .religious matters in the ' broad sense of ; the word, and to church, news; all important matters of inter est jto the pulpit, the pews, the ' Christian. Endeavor movement, the Young Men's Christian Association, the students' movement institution- ( al churches, societies and "prganaza-' tions of every kind, for work 'among different classes of society and to'ef- feet specific reform; in a worcU. 'all matters relating to the' functions of . churches, religious societies, and the practical expression of the religious life are treated at length and" as part of the important news of, the day by leading journals. " In such journals appear from time to time serious -and for the most part .sym pathetic and capable editorial treat ment of movements of religious thought, both within and without the churches. Far more attention is given today to religious matters by the press of the country than at any former period in our his tory. This doubtless has done much to lessen the number of journals dealings solely with denominational or evangel ical matters. When daily newspapers with from ten to ten thousand times the readers that a denominational' or evan gelical publication could possibly have, open their columns freely to such mat ters as would be published in the lat ter, the necessity for the latter disap pears. Most decent daily newspape rs do so open their columns. The fact that they do this and that they regard what appertains to the bettering of life as important, even from the standpoint of news is in itself evidence of the Out look's second contention which is, in substance, that men are endeavoring to bring their religion into closer touch with their every day life. It says: Men and women are growing more and more rapidly from the conception of religion as a special department of life; from an arbitrary division 'between things which are called re ligious and things which are recog nized as secular. They are coming to see that religion is a principle which must penetrate and reorgan ize every form of life; that it as the underlying basis on which all sound and wholesome life must rest; that it is a point of view from which all things arrange themselves in a new order; that it Includes not only organized instruments and methods of religion, but all civic or ganization, all political questions, the arts, sciences in a word the sum of man's life as expressed in thought, in emotion, in action. Religion is not a profession; it is a life. This does not . mean that MRS. jniTCIIARD'S FUUERAL AT MARSHALL BODY TAKEN JO HOME YESTER -V' DAYA GREAT SI LENT CROWD AT T H E ST ATI d N . Yesterday morning the body of Mrs Pritchard was brought to this city from Biltmore. Senator "Pritchard and a number of relatives went 'o the home of the senator's brother-in-law, W. S. Hy- ams, on Grove street, to await the com pletion of the funeral arrangements. At an early hour friends began to call at the home of Mr. Hyams. Messages of sympathy were, received every moment, and it -would be difficult to convey an idea of the number of floral offerings that came from friends in and near this city. To some extent this may be un derstood when it is stated that before 9 o'clock every request for flowers at tthe half a dozen large green houses, inva raalbly brought the answer that there were no more flowers to be had. Many thus. disappointed called for flowers at the residence of Col. J. K. Connally and other private homes: At 1 o'clock in. the afternoon, the car nages in which rode the friends and relatives left the residence on Grove street, were driven to the undertaking establishment of C. W. Brown, and thence the cortege moved slowly to the station. The funeral party entered a special car, which was attached to the regular west bound passenger train. At Marshall, which was reached in the middle of the afternoon, a very large number of friends and neighbors met the funeral party and all drove to Sen ator Pritchard's home, near the village. The pall bearers were Charles McNa mee, E. P. McKissick, H. S. Harkins, C. A. Moore, Judge James E. Boyd and John A. Nichols. The funeral services will be held at the home at 2 o'clock this afternoon and will be conducted at the residence by Pastors Wood of the Marshall Baptist church and Polhemus of the Presby terian church. It was first intended to hold the services today in the forenoon, but it was found that Mrs. Pritchard's father and mother, Judge and Mrs. J. W. Bowman, would not have time to get from Bakers ville, nor would rela tives have time to come from Washing ton. The interment will be in the fam ily burying ground near the residence.

OUR Raleigh correepondent in to day's Gazette throws some new light on the question of Senator (Simmons' withdrawal from the democratic state chairmanship. Ic is indicated that Mr. Simmons 1 has played a sharp game to forestall opposition to his re-election to the party leadership. There is un questionably considerable opposition in the party to Mr. (Simmons and his methods. Mr. Simmons, however, has V no intention of voluntarily surrendering any jot or tittle of his power. A few days ago, the democratic Atlanta Jour nal published the following in a des patch from Charlotte: "While Senator Simmons has been a most energetic and successful cam paigner, he has not failed to make enemies in his own party, and his . tendency to push the negro question " forward whenever such a thing was possible has made him very unpopu lar with maany of the leading mem bers of his party, and his retirement . will be hailed with delight by those who have hoped that the last negro - campaign had been fought. Some weeks ago Simmons issued an open letter in which he charged that the republicans would attempt to have the disfranchisement of the : negro declared null and void and at tempt to continue to vote the negro solidly. This prounuciamento iwas . not received with the enthusiasm that had evidently been the wish .;.?' of its author. On the other hand, it was strongly condemned by deimo crats, and there were signs at the recent democratic state convention v that showed unmistakably that v . many of the delegates resented any attempt to further run a campaign p' on the negro issue. It is suggested . that these things had their bearing 1 Y on the state chairman in his decis C.'ion. to retire from active leadership. ' As some democratic paper said, in an -' ; attempt to pull itself into line on Jus y; tice - Clark's nomination, "with his fangs drawn" Mr. Simmons may now be ' harmless, With the negro issue elim r:: inated Mr. Simmons will certainly find 'tl it difficult to run anything at all re-, -' - 'eembliivg his usual' style of compaign jrand for; this let all decency arise and v give. thanks!

HE announcement that the New -York Evangelist, for a long time prosperous , .and influentLal : rellgioxis joxirnal, has ceased to rVfexisi leads' the Outlook, to consider the ' .causes of the gradual disappearances of lJ'the lolH-tlme religious newspapers- The - Outlook thinks . these' causes axe, first . a- "radical change in journalistic con- ' ditlons,", and-second, : a still , more radi- al change ia ideas as to what."eonstl mean, that religion should be secularized, but that secular life should be vivified by the force that ds in true religion. To bring the doubt ful methods of worldly ambition or the follies of a frivolous society to the aid of organized religious bodies, as is sometimes done dn the effort to raise funds or to increase membership, is the reverse of the true process which should bring religion and every-day life into harmony. The inspiration that may be sought, the noble ideals that may be gained through a (formulated faith should be applied to the daily life. "Perhaps some religion" to quote again, 'consists not only , in deep inward experiences and sincere outward confes sions, but also in burden-bearing for others, in the sense of civic responsi bility and of human brotherhood in all relations, in the recognition of God, in Deauty and order and law throughout his entire universe." This practical application of ideals, however imperfectly it is realized, is a growing tendancy, and is shown not only in the space secular newspapers give to religious matters, but in the interest that the relieious today take ,in all movements for the bet terment of mankind. Marshall, N. C, Aug. 2. On the ar rival of the train at Marshall bearing the remains of Mrs. Pritchard a great concourse of people Were assembled to show their sympathy for the senator and respect for the dead one. The stillness was pathetic. All classes were represented, those whom she had com forted under similar circumstances, those whose wants she had relieved, all by their silence and tearful eyes testi fled in this manner that they had lost a friend.

He did not evince much concern at any time as to tust which way the game was going. The match was a hard-contested one from the very start. In the fifth game of the second set the score was deuce 14 times which is quite convincing of the hard playing done. In the second match, Tennent and Fitzpatrick defeated Washburn and Marsh. Score 6-1, 8-5. There were many exciting plays made at intervals. Tennent and Fitzpatrick exhibited the best team work yet seen. Their (practice in the past under the supervision of a coach has given. them superior chances for championship hon ors. Tennent stood almost against the net during the entire match and re turned the swiftest volleys with much judgment. Fitzpatrick has improved wonderfully on his long shots. He gets them m speedier and uses more judg ment. Marsh, probablv to bis diari vantage, played over his entire side. le used his Lawford frequently.

C. won by 15 Runs. A most enjoyable game was played on the village green at Biltmore yesterday between the Asheville and Asheiville Cotton Mills clubs, the Cotton Mills winning by 15 runs. There were quite a number of spectators who we under stand became quite interested in the sport. Among these bteing diaries McNamee, E. J. Harding and Dr. R. R. Swope, and several ladies. Mr. Mc Namee acted as scorer. For the winning side Mr. Carter was the only one to reach double figures in the batting list. While there is no doubt but Mr. -Thomas (who metired early) and the not out Mr. Devenish, i could have given a very satisfactory account of themselves had their innings been prolonged. For the Asheville Cricket club Mr. Ing played a very patient game for his well deserved 15, which was top score. Of those who handled the sphere for the Asheville Cotton Mills Cricket club Mr. Thompson, who secured 5 wickets, was the most successful, while Mr. Redwood, who scored four of the beet wickets for the Asheville Cricket club was ably assisted by Messrs. Baugh and Hackney, who secured two wiefkets each, at a very small expense. SCORE. Asheville Cotton Mills Cricket club Innings A. G. Carter bowled H. Redwood 13 H. S. Hart bowled H.
