BILL AK PS LETTER. Judge Clark had to rise and ex plain. The young people had en gaged a hall wherein to have a little dance, and it seems somebody who didn't approve of the business filed a bill of injunction, .wHich came for a hearing before his honor. Now, the judge is a scholar and has long perus ed and enjoyed the gilted poets, and after hearing argument he refused the injunction, and calling to mind the beautiful lines of Byron he carelessly said : "On with the dance : let joy be unconfined !" All of this got into the papers, of course, and the judge received so many letters from his good brethren in the church that he had to rise and explain in a very pretty way to the press. It seems that I and my family are in a dancing scrape and I wish that I could get out of it as pleasant y as did his honor. Ours occurred nearly five years ago and ought to be barred by the statute of limitations, but ever and anon we hear of it from far away like the sound of a tinkling cymbal, and my Christian friends feel con strained to write me or send the papers that tell' about it. It wasn't much of an affair,-hut grows bigger as the years roll on. 1 have recently received The Dallas News which a kind lady sent with the dancing para graph marked, as usual. It was in a sermon preached there a few days ago bv the Rev. Oeorge Stewart, the partner ol Sam Jones in missionary work, aiu) in it he said: A decoy duck is a thing that pro poses to be a duck and is n t a duck. The devil decoys by a painted mem ber of the church that has not life. The devil can tie them, anywhere. Here he related how he was caught by one of these decoys. He was invited tda birithday party given at the .house of a Presbyterian elder. The Presbyterian, pastor went with him. They had a good supper and a pleasant evening and left tit 10 o'clock. The next morning The Atlanta Con stitution had a glowing account of it and went on to say that at 1 2 o' :lock the dining room was cleared and from midnight to day the jolly party trip- 1.1 11..- . ' i pea me ngnt iantastic, mid among those present appeared the names of Rew George Stewart and Dr. Hill- house. I-haven't got over that smirch yet. Letters and postal cards poured in sayinr : "Ceorue Stewart, what is the matter with'you ?" Somehow or somehow else when ever and whenever the Rev. Mr Stew art tells that in his sermons it gets out that I am the duck the decoy -and ! I hear of it from anxious friends. If he told it as a fable or an allegory and named no names I wouldn't care. It is a right good. fable and there was enough foundation in fact for him. to build on, and he built. It is now copy righted and stereotyped. The facts are that when one of our boys attained his majority in iSSS we did give him a birthday party, and he invited his young friends and we in vited some of ours who were older, and among them was our pastor, MrJ Hillhouse. It was a goodly company of good people who were well raised and well mannered. Rev. Mr. Stew art was not invited, but somehow he came with our preacher and received a coidial welcome. He was not de coyed hither by any of us. My wife and daughters had provided a bounti ful feast. There was a big, fat turkey gobbler at each end of the long table and all the space between was filled with good things. Mr. Stewart en joyed it, I know, and was given a place of honor and he partook most heartily and dispensed his wit and his wisdom with abundant freedom. Our pastor enjoyed it, too, and joined in the general hilarity, There were none to molest or make them afraid. About ii o'clock, after tne feast was over, Mr. Hillhouse said to my wife that he had reason to suppose that the young folks had planned a ..... i .. i i i ' i i little xjance, to which he had no j personal objection, but as many good people had a different opinion and as he was a minister, it would be better for him to retire. And so he did re tire and took Mr. Stewart with him. The young people did have a dance and we all enjoyed it, especially my wife, who was raised that way, but now, alas, can only look on and pat her little foot to the music. The festivities closed, little after midnight and we said our prayers and went to bed. This is all of it that I know. The editors of The Constitution have searched in vain to find any iriention of th0 party in their "next morning" paper or any other paper, and how it got out on Mr. Stewart we are at a loss to know. It never got out on Mr. Hillhouse, nor did anybody ever call him to account in letters or postal cards. .We are all truly sorry that Mr. Stewart got smirched at our house and as he seems to have never re covered from it. we wilt do all we can to relieve him. "Touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm," is a cardinal text at our house. Certainly we had no intention to de coy or to smirch him, and hope he will have charity and cease making us a target. "He that hath not charity is as ' sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal." That is the cymbal that we have heard ever and anon from Roanoke Va., to Dallas, Tex., and it disturbs our family ..tranquility for it does not seem amiable or Chris -tain to accept the hospitality of a family and depart with their blessing then make them a target to shoot all over the land. King David said : "If I have rewarded evil unto him who is at peace with me may mine enemy persecute, my soul and take t. May he tread my life into the earth and lay mine honor in the dust." That is good scripture, too. Now as to tiie sin or innocence of the parlor dance I do not propose to discuss that With anybody. My freedom of opinion I will maintain on all subjects and I accord to others the same liberty. While I differ with Sam Jones and his coworkers in many things I give them full credit for the good they are doing in. reforming the thoughtless and the erring, ?nd 1 bid them speed oii their mission. It pulling me down will help them to raise others up it is all right, but still I do not think it necessary and I write this letter more to relieve Mr. Stewart fro nli. the unintentional s.nitch that he says he received at my nouse ... ... j. - i than to relieve myseit. uur consci ences are perhaps not as sensitive as those of some other people and we may be doing wrong in giving birth day paities with a parlor dance at the close, but no harm has ever come o! them, except the smirch, that we know of. Ouri children love us and honor us and are good to us, and when they gather at the family man sion we are all hanov together. We k i -j - rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those w ho weep. I would not intrude even this much of our domestic affairs upon the public, but I have many friends in lexas whose regard I treasure in my daily memor ies, and it grives me that they may believe me a hypocrite or a painted duck, and so I. hope The Dallas News will copy this much of my letter and let me stand or fall by it and let Mr. Stewart be relieved from the smirch f om v h ch he so Jong has suffered. We are going to have another birthday party next week, on the 1 5th. It will be my own and that of our eldest grandson, who bears my name and my birthday, and will then be twenty one. The young folks will gather as usual, and, no doubt, will close the evening with another parlor dance. "Evil be to him who evil thinks." f am writing history now, and have nearly finished my little book. It will be published by Gunn & Co., of Boston, and be offered to the schools by Professor Roberson, of Atlanta in the early fall. It is not so good a book as I expected to write, for I have been sorely troubled with my head and eyes, and the physicians have forbidden me to write or read, of even to think very, much. It is not so Comprehensive, I know, as that of Professor Evans, whose faithful work I admire very much, but it is, per haps, more suitable for the grammar school, and there is matter in it that will not be found elsewhere, and that I specially desire our young people to know. : Bill Art.

Installation of the exhibit of the Lehigh university in the department of liberal arts has been completed. The Pennsylvania' world's fair exec utive committee has 'decided that the state building shall lie closed -on Sun day. The New Jersey state building is a white structure, with green blinds, a typical New Jersey house. It is beau tifully furnished. Warrants have been issued for sev eral dishonest world's fair gate keep ers. From 5,000 to 10,000 souvenir tick ets are said to have been purloined daily. Columbian g-uards will not be al lowed to flirt any more. An order re- 1 quiring them to keep away from the stands where pretty girls are emploj-ed has been issued. The sixteen foreign countries dissat isfied with the single judge plan of making awards at the world's fair have decided to enter into competition among themselves. The chime of nine bells in Machinery hall will be played each day from 9 to 9:20 a. m. and 0 to 7 p. m. by Prof . C. E. Ilredberg, the expert chimer of St: James' Episcopal church, whose serv- I ices have. been secured for the purpose. The Indiana world's fair commission ers have selected June 15 as the date for dedicating tlie Indiana building at the world's fair. The building will' then be formally turned over to Gov. Matthews by the executive commis sioners. The Brazilian building, which should have been finished some time ago, is still incomplete, the trouble being due to the contractor, A. L. Ii. Van den Bergen, and the Brazilian commission ers are considering the advisability of carrying on the work themselves. The British commissioners have de cided that admission to their building, Victoria house, during the fair shall be by card. They do not intend to al low' visitors to wander inside to eat their lunches and lounge about as they do in other state ' and foreign build ings. The exhibitors and representatives of the various states and provinces held a meeting in Horticultural hall and effected an organization to be known as the Columbian Horticultural society. E. G. Fowle-r, of the Rural New-Yorker, assistant director of the New - York exhibit, was elected presi dent, and A. II. Pettilt, superintendent of the Ontario (Can.) horticultural ex hibit, secretary. STATUE OF JUSTICE. Montana's Larcrn Silver Vnveiled at .Jaclison I'ari;. The grand silver statue of Justice for which the .queenly -A-;ta llehan posed was unveiled on Decoration daj- in the Montana section of the Mines and. Mining building. Hundreds of people saw the unveiling and cheered till their applause rang through the rafters as the folds that- draped the figure fell to the pedestal and for the first time revealed the beautiful work of art to public view. 'Mrs. Rickards, wife of the governor of the state that contrib uted the handsome statue to the fair, loosened the cords that held up the veiling. - The statue is the largest silver figure in the world. It is about 12 feet high and is the life-sized figure of a woman poised on the large globe which rests on the outstretched wings of a gigan tic eagle.. The silver, "which amounts ' SILVER STATUE OF JUSTICE. to 1,031 pounds, was furnished by two Montana, citizens YV. A. Clark, of Butte, and ex-Gov. S. T. Ilauser. R. II. Park vas the sculptor. The statue, as it stands in the Montana space, gives a beautiful, queenly effect. It is placed just in the center of the section, the entrance to which is guarded by two ferocious-appearing bronze lions. .The. lower part of the pedestal is of ebony, and upon this, to support the statue, is a block of pure gold 2 feet 5 inches square and 10 inches high, far more valuable from a money point of view, than the silver figure itself. The gold pedestal represents an expenditure of nearly and the silver in the statue onlj' about "5,000. ; Foreign Representatives.

ALL DENOUNCED Contractor Dant's. Work at the Ford'a Theatre. CEMENT "LITTLE BETTER THAN MUD" The Guvernuicut IWs Nof Want Skilli-d Men to Kxecute Its Contracts uud Will Not l'ay Fair l'riccs for Good Work. Washington, I). C, June 17. Con tractor Geo. V. Dant was severely con demned by the evidence given today at the coroner's inquest over the re mains of the Ford's theatre victims. The United States government also came in for its share of condemnation for its method of doing the work of construction. Several expert wit nesses testified that the best contract ors did not care to do the work for the government. Thomas J. King, contractor and builder, said the government did not want skilled men to execute its con tracts, and would not pay fair prices for good work. The government, said Mr. King, while it posted itself as to the financial standing of a builder or contractor, cared to know nothing about his skill or ability. An architect testified that the cement used in underpinning the piers sup porting the old building was a "little better than mud." A builder said the manner of the work was suicidal. . So condemnatory of Contractor Dant's execution of the work beneath the theatre were the statements of some of the experts that the jurors made inquiry of witnesses giving this testimony as to the state of Dant's mind. One contractor, a friend "of Dant, said he was not in good health. This same witness, Kobert Clarkson. testified that the accident was caused by criminal negligence in doing the underpinning work. RESTORED BY WATER. At Meal, Killed by I.iRH! ninfj. Is So Rap Idly Rec-overing. Four Scott, Kax., June 17.-Mrs. Sarah Mead has returned from Musko gee, I. T., where she went to have the body of her son, Al Mead, prepared for burial and the remains-brought to this city .for burial.

Five hours later he had been put in a wagon and was being taken to an under taker's at Muskogee, ft was neces- ary to cross a swolen stream, and the bed of the wagon was partially sub merged and the IkkIv nearly covered with watei. The water had the imme diate effect of restoring animation to the apparently lifeless body. THE CHICAGO DERBY. Morello, the Great Three-Year-Olil, Was the Winner. CniCAGO, June 17.

Washington", June 15. Assistant Secretary Hamlin has instructed the Collector of Customs at New York to refund the duties paid under the con ditions involved in the suit of Blumlein $ Co., against the United States, re cently decided against the United State's. The qitestion raised in this suit was as to the proper construction of the tariff act of March 3rd, 1803, relating to the proper classification of leaf tobac co. The law provided that wherever S." per cent, of leaf tobacco was suita ble for wrappers the duty should be 7.") cents per pound, otherwise 3 cents per pound, but no unit for computing the per een'ttfge was named in the law. The collectors, under instructions, fixed upon "the hand'' as a minimum unit, whereas the court decides "the bale" to constitute the unit in ques tion. All entries of tobacco therefore, awaiting the determination of this question will be relinquished in ac cordance with the court's decision, and it is estimated that at least two million dollars will have to be refunded to im porters.

Judg-e Bond Will Be Asked to En join Governor Ben Tillman. TROUBLE OYER THE DISPENSARIES. k Hard Hunt Between the Advocate an 4 Opponents of South Carolina's ' New Liquor Law. CHARI.E8TOX, S. C.,' June 13. Th barkeepers are in a state of exhilara tion over the proposed application to Judge Bond for an injunction to stay the execution of the dispensary law. It seems that the state liquor dealers . af.in:iiii.ioii is not in inis neat, ine move is, to be paid for by the retail grocers' association, although there is no doubt that they will get plenty ol financial aid if the lawyers, make a prima facie showing. The lawyers are Clement Bissel and J. P. K. Bryner, and they are tc g-et a retainer of Soufl each and have their expenses paid to Baltimore. The plan, it seems, ia adopted from a suggestion by Ran dolph Tucker, and it embraces a motion to be made for an injunction in behalf of the dealers who have taken out county and municipal license for twelve months. The lawyers will start for Baltimore at once and apply to Judge Bond. There is a widespread feeling of delight among the retail grocers at the idea of invoking Judge Bond a gainst (iovernor Tillman. The politi cians, too will watch the battle with great interest. It is said that most oi the barkeepers here have one-year licenses. A man namjd Plefcher, bar keeper fdr the Charleston hotel, says he has secured about two hundred and fifty signers to his petition to' be ap pointed a dispensary keeper. Pletch er is a very popular feliow, and hence his success. He still lacks five hun dred names, however, and it is doubt ful if he can secure them despite, hlg popularity. The influential business men in the community are making an organized effort to dissuade the free hold voters from signing any such petitions. ' ELECTROCUTION IN NEW YORK. John Osmond Takes 111 Seat la the Sing Sing Death Chair. Sin-o Sixo, X. Y., June 13. John I. Osmond was electrocuted this morning at 1 1 :4'. o'clock, in the presence of the usual number of witnesses. Osmond was convicted of the murder of his wife, Mary, and hisV'ousin, John C. Burchell. He and his wife had lived in BurchelFs apartments, No. 000 Third avenue, New York city, lie became jealous of his cousin, quarrelled and left the house, and Mrs. Osmond began proceedings for divorce. He went to the flat on October 3, 1801, and killed the woman and her admirer. Iliscon yiction for murder in the first degree was ailiriued by the court of appeals. Osmond was in one of the death cells in Sing Sing prison on the night of the escape of Pallister and Roehl, and was ah eye-w itness to the overpowering of the jail guards by those murderers. When he was brought before Judge In graham for sentence, his lawyers called the attention of the court to the fact that Osmond had had an opportunity to make his escape with Pallister and Koehl, but declined to take advantage of it. The judge said, however, that all he could do was to iiupdse the sentence of death MORE HERESY A I'rcKbyteriau Minister Tells What He Ior.'t Kelieve. Chicago, June 15. Rev. 'T. C. Hall, a son of the celebrated Dr. Hall, of New York, practically challenged a heresy trial yesterday. It was in the meeting of the Chicago Presbytery at. which the commissioners, who went to the Gen eral Assembly at Washington, made their report. Rev. Mr. Hall said: "I do not believe that Moses wrote the Pentateuch, nor that Isaiah wrote the two books. Our church has taken a position narrower than that of any oth?r in the world. I do not believe it was legal or constitu tional. I take the same position prac tically as that taken by Dr. Briggs." There was a little hush at this an nouncement, but there . was not a dis senting voice. The members of the Presbytery seemed to indorse these sentiments. - - Mr. Hall was prominent in the Briggs trial at Washington. "LOOKOUT FOR WINCHESTER."
