The Judge is full of nush and takes the right view of the matter, that courts are expen give and therefore there should be no killing of time by them.

Daniels & Pipkin from (iohldboro to Richmond on the 27th hint., leaving hear at 7 o'clock in the morning, and if you ever intend visiting Richmond now is your time, The fare for the round trip is $2.75, only, not one-fourth of what it would cost you to go at any other time, except Bob and Ada should conclude to run another, and they will hardly do that, this season at least. They should receive patron age for it is only through them and the like of tliem that a poor man can ever do much traveling on a railroad. Avail yourselves of this opportunity and make the trip, you 1 will tind it a pleasant one. Be on hand at 7 o'clock. i rim ifotttil CanY in fir a f Sandy plains is still progressing, they preach day and night and the services are well attended by both white and colored. The crowd last Sunday was estimated at from 3000 to oOOO. We did not go, but hearn that the service in the evening con ducted by Parson Wellon and at night by Porson Dillon were very creditable. We were out and heard the opening sermon the first Sunday preached by the Rev. Mr. Gergainus, He took for his text the command given to Moses at the Red Sea, "Speak to the people that they move forward." He told his heat ere that the church must progress that if the world was saved for Christ that the church must go forward, altogether it was a fine effort. He had the un- levided attention of his congrega tion and calleo forth the hearty Aniens of many a good old brother and sister. Henry S. Cochran, cheif weigh er at the Phila. Mint has been arres ted for stealing $28,000 in gold bull ion, they call it embezzelment. He was given a hearing and held to bail in the sum of $30,000. See the effect of legislation against silver and in favor gold. Gold is made so precious that it is eagerly sought after, so much so that the chief weigher a venerable and trusted old man can not resist the temptation and incli- l&atton to get all he can. Why not Vfcoase it and make it like silver not porth stealing, and thus remove the ikmptation to get all you can lay iyonr hands on. The old man is a thief, no doubt of that and should be put where he cannot knock down any more of the stuff. But it is so precious that the temptation is great pou know. THE CAPITOL CENTENNIAL. Last Monday was a hundred years since the corner stone of the Nation Cpital at Washington was laid by ithat Master Mason, George Washing ton. The hundredth anniversary of the event was celebrated Monday by a- paraae aown rennsjivania avenue and speech making in front of the Capitol. Pres.

It is true men have to pay extra to fit and qual ify themselves for experts, for in stance a doctor has to attend Col lege and pay for his extra educa tion, b at when it comes to testifying in a criminal action where the good of the country is at stake they should be required to tell what they know and get the same pay for it any other citizen would get And by the way we have heard expert testimony given in by men who were paid $5.00 or $10.00 in addi tion to the same pay that other wit nesses got tnat we thought sounded rediculous. For instance when an expert goes on the stand and bwi ars that a buzzard finds carron alone by sight and gets an expert fee for such testimony it strikes us that witneses is a poor expert It is against com mon sense and all reason. Does not anybody know that a buzzard will scent carron for miles and find a dead hog or chicken under a barn or even a corps in a house could he see it? Xo it is nonsense. ALLIANCE SfKAKlNU. Bro. J.

On August 30th, the Democratic party had been in power twenty-five weeks. During that time (accord ing to ante-election statements) the "culminating atrocity" has robbed us of just $316,538,450. This must be charged up to them as they are in complete control and could, ere this, have wiped out every vestige of the McKinley monstrosity."

PATRIOTIC NEWS BUREAU, 31 B STREET SOUTHEAST. Washington, D. C, September 18, 1893. The point in the present fight in the Senate is this: If the Sherman law is unconditionally repealed, for at least four years, there will not be a dollar added to our currency, but on the other hand there be a con traction by shipments, abrasion, etc., for Mr, Cleveland will most certainly veto any bill to coin silver that Con gress may hereafter pass while he is President. On the other hand, if the Sherman act remains, there will be an increase of nearly $50,000,000 a year, and if any recognition of sil ver in any form is to be had, it must be contained in the same act that re peals the Sherman act, for if presen ted in a separate bill, it will most surely be vetoed. Hence, an un conditional repeal of the Sherman act means the stoppage of all coin age of silver, a gradual contraction of the currency, slowly decreasing prices of all commodities and harder times. If there is a complete stop page of coinage of silver in this country and India for four years there will be no market for silver bullion aside from its use in the mechanic arts, and the price will fall to 30 or 40 cents per ounce. . That will close every silver mine in seven estates and Territories, ihe inhabi tants of those Stotes cannot exist there for four years with the mines closed. Before the four years are ended they will be mostly uninhabited des erts and one-third of the territory of the United States will return to its native wildness. Is there anv won der that every means known to hu- man ingenuity will be resorted to to prevent such a catastrophe! Or that Senator Pugh, of Alabama, should ui language like the following;? "It is the determined and unalter able purpose of the opponents of re peal to stand upon their convictions of public duty and fidelity to their pledges to the people whom they rep resent, and who haTe honored them with their confidence on this vital question, until physical strength u exhausted and the power of speech is left to no Senator to prevent the success of the eonspiracy denounc-d by John G. Carlisle at equal in its consequence to war, pestilence, or famie." Of course Senator Pugh has no in terest in mines or silver bullion, but be knows that a further contraction of the volume of money means still lower prices for every product of the farmers and planters of his State and in the end general poverty, and he stand up to defend the hearths and home of his constituents. The present silver law is the last line of defense for bimetallism; if this is abandoned, all is lost. This the silver Senators understand and will therefore fight to the last against unconditional repeal. The great body of the people are with them, but thev are not heard. A small fraction of the whole pop ulation representing the banks and foreign bond holders keen ud the clamor for repeal. They are heard continually. Whv do not the rrodne.inr plnssns. E c f farmers, the planters, the laborers, raise their voices through petitions, letters and resolutions, in support of the Senators who are making so gallant a nght for them Senator Pugh, of Alabama, made an able speech in the Senate the other day against unconditional re peal. It was one of the soundest ar guments that have been made in the course of the debate. He declared that "This struggle for bimetallism on the basis of free coinage will never end by submis sion to the gold standard as long as ours is a free representative Gov ernment. The faithful friends of free coinage may be cheated in plat forms but they will never again be misled and deceived by tnose wno oetray tnem in tne im pending emergency." He argued that if those who fa vored repeal intended in good faith to follow repeal with a free coinage act, or a compromise measure, they would be willing to couple it with repeal. The fact that they are not willing to do this shows conclusively that they do not intend to restore bimetallism, but, on the contrary, to fasten upon us the single gold stand ard. Will the people submit to it? The real question involved in the contest now going on in the Men- ate is whether we shall issue bonds and borrow our money from Eng land or coin it from gold and silver from our own mines. Shall eur fi nancial system be American or Brit ish? The threatened raid on Washing ton by the board of trade, came on Tuesday, the twelfth, but instead of being 1,500 or 2,000 of them as had been advertised there was just 175, all told. They said they didn't come to discuss the question, but to tell the Senate what to do and to do it quick. There was one hour giyen the Denver board of trade, however, to present their side of the case, then they passed their resolutions and went off, leaving a lobby behind to look after their interests. They did not say much in convention, but what they did say showed them to be more ignorant of political econ omy than anybody who ever assem bled in the United States. Even the chairman said that an in crease in the currency would not raise prices and there is hardly a school boy in the United States but knows more than that. It is frequently stated in speeches and in newspapers that we have the largest volume of money we ever had. This is far from being true. The real effective money volume is not one-third what it was at the end of the war, it is true, however, that the present "currency famine" is due largely to the drawing down of the reserves and the consequent ex tineruishment of bank credits or "confidence money." Ihe bottom cause of all this is the change in the the money standard from gold and silver to eold alone, and the conse quent shrinkage in prices. This shrinkage too will go on as long as erold increases in value, and that will be till it is iestore.d to its old nlace as a money metal and made to do part of the work of gold. The erreatest event so far of the nrpspnt extra session was the sneecn .... nn Thnrsdav. of Senator Daniel, of Virginia. He spoke for four hours and a half and for all that time a full Senate, except a few radical Re publicans from the .Eastern btates who were in the cloak rooms hob- nobbinc with John Sherman, sat with eyes fixed upon the orator trom Virginia. This sneech is bevond description It was eloquent, it was logical, it wrs convinciner. and it was more than all that. For when fifty or six ty gray-haired old Senators sit for for four hours and a half, scarcely moving, with their eyes fixed upon a man, he is saying something an th time that is commanding the attention of the brightest intellects in this Nation. Sen.ttnr Daniel told the Senators fmm the northwest that he had not fortrotten their service to humanity - - .1.1 I- T 'II when they deteated tne r orce cm. Tfo r.nvorl almost the whole field of economics and showed himself master of it. He made a defense of the free coinage of both metals w-hich will stand unaswered wniie tnis gov ernment endures. renlv he made to the asser tions of the gold standard defenders was just as convincing as what he said to Edward Atfcinson, m repiy fn the statement that the only hon est dollar must be made of a metal, the bullion value of which was equa to its coinasre value. Mr. Danie said: "You strike a silver dollar with a hammer and you knock the dollar out of it it is no longer a what is left is bullion. The same is true of the gold dollar, but the the government will take that gold bullion and at the expense of the people, recoin it, put the dollar back again. But the bullion that is left after the dollar is. knocked out of the silver ianier metal. The tTOV- ernment will not put the dollar back, and in this and this alone lies the cause of the difference in the , price of silver and gold bullion." FROM THE PULPIT. T-mm tXrw Trk's CkrMlM XHactpt Talk Rer. Thomas Dixoi. Jr., has been preaching a serim of strmcn upon the wickedness of New York at the Younf Men's Christian amociation rooms in New York city. The general title of the sermon was "The Gate of Hell In Mod ern Babylon." The theme fortbeseT- rath sermon was "The Curse of Poverty la the Modem City." Among other things he said: Tb porcrtr of tb city U aa omb tntjt tothc deepftt hcU.a&dthruagb it daily crowd coanU ) UiMuaads, brc-,tM txmrrtr la th citT tMaa toas of a Lome.

In thia Quarter It goes without sarin that tht death rsU reaches tta most horrible height, and public morality totKhesa depth of degradation before which philanthropists and Christians and eTangelUta stand ag-haat. Poverty and diseaaa and crime are the portion of these people. How hundreds and thousands of oeonla in the cities, wrth their wages, can keep from taallns; is a miracle. People are entitled to bread. A man is certainly entitled to exist ence, lie Is entitled to lead to eat. He is en titled to enough clothes to keep him from frees. tag. He is entitled to a house to sorer his head, and ha has a right to work. But taeae things are denied hundreds and thousands of people wuay in me mtij. a woman was discovered the other day who had starved to death. Men commit crime daily that they may get the com forts of a penitentiary, the luxury of a stay on Plackweil's island, Qui Btatistlclans tell us that E0.0Q0 children work In the great city of New York, but those who know the facts tell us that In the great city of New York alone there are 100,000 little pinched forms that work for daily bread and ra glad to get work work at the period when children most grow or die. Their little faces are pinched and shriveled and wrinkled until they are an army of little old men and women, to look into whose pinched faces Is enough to draw the tears from a heart of a stone. What wonderful little creatures many of them are! They never complain they take it as a matter of course. Such poverty la necessarily the mother of de- (palr despair grim and sullen and stupefying. The man who fights with hunger becomes an animal. Is it not better to die a man than to die a brute? Shall these desperate people rea son? Suicide becomes a luxury. The death of a child under such conditions is a Joy, not a sorrow. "I hey are gathered to the potter's field, but they rest. On a repent Sunday morning Father Thomas J, Ducey of St. Leo's Roman Catholio church. New York, took for his subject these words: "No murderer shall enter the kingdom of heaven." He com pared capitalists who force their em ployees to work for Bmall wages to mur derers and eaid that the contribution of their blood money for charitable pur poses could not compensate for the wick edness of grinding down the poor. Con tinuing he Bald: There Is no place in heaven for those million aires who have no compassion for their fellow men in starvation. The vanity of women and the thirst of men for wealth have created the conditions of the present age, and a revolution, Is jmmlnent. Justice cannot much longer delayed. The human race is dying out today on account of the vanity of women and the pride of men. They fear to see their families grow too large lest they might thereby lose ftome of their power and prestige, and the great est of social sins is dally growing to be more common. What can be murder more foul than this, and I declare to you that no murderers li all enter into the kingdom of heaven. Not only this sin being daily committed. but poor, struggling women are bef ng constantly ground into a state of poverty by unscrupulous and designing millionaires that they may be forced into the great army of dissolute women. We cannot serve God, no matter to what re ligious denomination we belong, if we do not have Justipe, and there can be no justice where grasping, grinding capital takes advantage of distress and poverty to make the labor of mil lions contribute still more to the piling up of wealth in the hands of a few. It is murder! The wealthy man who disregards the distress of his brother commits more than the individ ual murderer. He commits a crime against so ciety. Such a man may be a true husband and faithful father, but he cannot hope to enter into heaven. Many a millionaire in our city employs men at 7 a week and expects them to support a family on the pittance. Yet that millionaire expects to enter heaven. It is a living lie! It Is the murder of our brethren, and "no murderer shall enter the kingdom of heaven." A Frencb Delegate, Victor Delahaye has been delegated by the trades unions of France to visit the World's fair in their interest. He will also investigate the form of organization and methods of the American Federation of Labor and has asked the co-operation of the officers of that body in his work. Mr. Delahaye visited this country in the summer of 1889 as the representative of the French government, being selected upon the recommendation of the Ma chinists' union, to investigate our meth ods of manufacturing textile machinery. He is a man of wide information upon economic topics and stands in the front rank of the French labor movement. ' Milk at Cost For the Poor. Nathan Strauss of New York city, who last winter established coalyards in the city where the poor could get coal in small quantities at cost ton rates and re ceive full weight, has just opened a milk depot with the same idea in view. At the milk depot started on the east side by Mr. Strauss pure milk is furnished at 2 cents per pint. Arrangements have been made for furnishing 16,000 quarts per day, but this will be increased if nec essary. The milk comes from an Orange county farm, which was visited by Mr. Strauss' manager and a veterinary sur geon, detailed by the health department, before the contract was made. Modern Powder Puffs. The world used to say that all Ameri can women powdered, just as they say now that they smoke cigarettes. In the old days there was a bottle stuck in some corner of her bedroom, with a more or less soiled stiff rag hanging on the cork, which was called into service just before a start was made for a shopping or call ing tour. It was a sort of a wipe and promise, and the services of several good natured women friends were required along the way to remove the extraneous lumps of dried powder which would nat urally be caught in prominent parts of the face or sunk into pet-dimples. , But today to make up a face properly is to master an art having elementary rules as exact as those of a science.

For many 3- an electroplaters have sought to evolve an effective process of electro deiosition on a nonmetallic base. This endeavor was at length attended With partial success, but the process was accompanied with so much danger in con sequence of the highly combustible na ture of some of the agents employed that manufacturers did not care to run the risk of setting their premises on fire. A modification of the processes has been discovered by which this danger is avoid ed, an4 the invention is now prpnounced to be one of the most important that has been introduced in the electroplate trade for many years. The object to be dealt with, whether it be a sprig of natural holly or ivy, a bit of common hedge brier, a fern, a ge ranium leaf, Marguerite daisy, a terra cotta group, is submitted to the process, which is the inventor's secret. It next receives a deposit of copper, which ren dersit perfectly ductile and practically indestructible, and it is then ready to be either silvered or gilt by the ordinary process of electroplating. This inven tion comes from England, where it is be ing largely employed in ornamental work pf various kinds. Some of the ef fects produced by it are said to be ex quisitely beautiful, New York Tele gram. Good Work For Idle Moments. This is the season when kind hearted young ladies, and sometimes even little girls, get up entertainments for the ben efit of fresh air funds, A Pnte little de scription of a doll's booth comes to us from California. A little bower was built of bamboo reeds, rattan withes and tea matting. The entire ornamentation of this was composed of dolls of all sizes and kinds. Cute little Eskimos were made from sheets of cotton wadding; Brownies from chamois, wire and old kid gloves. Tiny dolls, as big as your little finger, of bisque or other materials, were perched upon the walls and in ev ery conceivable place.- Grownup dollies occupied cunning peats pfrattan; black Dinahs in appropriate attire served as the neatest of toy waiting maids, and Japanese dolls of all sizes and indistin guishable sex abounded. For decorating a booth at a fair it is not generally known what artistic ef fects may be given by use of irregular widths or coffee bags and pieces of straw tea chest matting combined with colored cambrics and cheese cloth. The coarser fabrics may droop from the roof to de fine the walls and be raveled out in rag ged fringe style. The matting serves as an excellent groundwork on which to paint various mottoes in huge gold let ters. Teach Children Patriotic Songs. Mrs. Mary Lowe Dickinson iainter- ested in a new society lately organized for the purpose of teaching patriotism. One wise woman years ago discovered the help of singing patriotic music in the home proved when her four boys were tired of the house, nervous or fret ful. Mrs. Page saysj "On a oertain stormy afternoon my boys were wear ing my patience threadbare. They fretted, were irritable and implored to be allowed to get out in the rain. A young friend came into my sitting room, opened the small cabinet organ, played a lively accompaniment, singing to it the 'Red, White and Blue,' Four cross little faces relaxed. Smiles replaced frowns, small fists beat a rat-tat-a-tat accompaniment upon the floor, and shrill boyish voices joined in the chorus. I looked into four happy little faces. I had discovered a future remedy for sim ilar attacks of discontent and the reign of bad fairies." Hospitality of the Rich. A yacht in the fashionable world is like an opera box or your carriage if you wish to pay a person an especial compliment send it to him or her for the afternoon. Tho recipient makes up his party for the sail, and though your dinner is served aboard by your servants you need not be in evidence. It is one of the many compensations of the rich that these gracious hospital ities are possible. A woman who owns a superb country residence never, on her summer trips to Europe, leaves it locked and deserted. Some friend to whom six weeks of this unruffled luxu rious life is a boon is asked to take pos session, and to take as well carte blanche for the entertainment of her friends if she be of a social nature.

At the same tune she jumped with joy at meet'ng another of the family. New York Pre. Lodgings For Women. The unsolved problem of woman's ex istence is. Where shall hhe live? For some curious and unexplained reason it is not considered proper for a woman who earns her own living to dwell br herself. She must either have somebody belonging to her or have a home with her relations, or must keep up an estab lishment which is often very far beyond her means, but which she maintains at untold sacrifice in order to appease the wrath of gowip which ever lies in wait by her path. It is one of the most unfortunate phases of the present day woman's life that, while independent as far as ability to earn her own living is concerned, she is handicapped by a dread of Mrs. Grundy and her dear 500 friends. The problem of living was probably the first thing that drove the American woman into bnsiness. She wanted a home and the privilege of living in it unmolested and coinfortablo anil set herself about to earn the wherewithal to provide it, but hav ing done this she finds that she has added to her burdens in many respects without perceptibly lightening them in others. As a matter of fact, she has assumed a man's responsibilities, but has not taken on with them any appreciable amount of individual independence as far as a home is concerned. The problem in the largest cities Is somewhat difficult to solve owing to the exceedingly high price of real estate. Rents are of course high, and any sort at apartment is expensive. Business wom en are waiting with no little anxiety for the apartment houses that were promised as the result of some club meetings of a year or so ago. The need of them is so imperative that it is to be hoped that we may soon see something more than news- paier comment on the subject. New York Ledger. The Canadian Exodus. The exodus from Canada to the United States increases. Already there are a million of Canadians on the south of the line. Some villages in Quebec have lost a great part of their population. In Ontario almost all the towns and villages are stationary or going backward. The American consulate iu Toronto has had little else to do during the past year than dispatch immigrants to the United States. In the city 5,000 houses are va cant, and though this is partly due to overspeculation in land and overbuild ing it is also partly due to emigration. It was the president of a conservative association who said the other day that soon "the Americans would have all the men and we should have all the mud." Toronto is the stronghold of British sentiment and of the Canadian protec tionism which finds fervent love of the mother country available as a safeguard against American competition. English men who visit Canada form their notions of Canadian seutiment from what they hear at Toronto or at Ottawa, which, as the official city, is of course the center of attachment to the existing system. If they went among the farmers, especially in the border counties, they might form a different estimate. Goldwin Smith in Nineteenth Century. An Incident at m Summer Resort. Here I am, dear Vix, and more than ever convinced, too, that it takes all sorts of people to make a boarding house. One sort is conspicuous by its absence. for in the whole establishment resides nobody masculine. The unique variety of women, how ever, does not lack interest or amuse ment. Miss Metz and Miss Stone sing charmingly, and two or three are excel lent pianists. One dear old lady is very deaf, outspoken and honest, and another, Miss Holdup, has the proclivity, seldom feminine, of always wanting to borrow "just a dollar, my dear!" This evening Mum Holdup, approaching Mrs. Blake, said fa-etiously,- "I didn't see you bath ing today." Mrs. Blake, annoyed, re plied quickly, "Don't bother me now; I haven't any change." Behold the moral! Cor. New York Telegram. Bound Precept. One of the exhortations given by the archdeacon of London in his sermon on the royal marriage is decidedly much re quired. It is the duty, he said, of Chris tian women aud men to "bhield" the Duke and Duchess of York "from the malign tint tongue of rumor, slander and gossip (which always gloats in being busy about the great) by steadily refusing to believe anything which may be said un less it is accompanied by distinct and in disputable proof." If the same duty were paid to all other persons in high position, what a large 6lice of the food on which society feeds would disappear! W est minster Gazette. A Bare Cora.

Surely there Is no other music that will quicker set their hearts to beating and their eyes to flashing. It strikes us as being inexpressibly sad that the author of a national air should be Buffered to die in poverty and negloct. What a proper, appreciative, human thing it would be for the south to con tribute by popular subscriptions to a fund for the support of old Dan Emmet! There can hardly be a nobler purpose than that of solacing and cheering the last days of one who has given to his countrymen that which iu war and in peace, upon battlefields and at the heart hftoiio, serves as an inspiration to nob! r tito:i;7ls and more patriotic en-' de;i vor.

The New Oiiowns ladies talked very hard, and there seemed as many opinions as speakers, which makes it rather diffi cult to get at the conclusion of the mat ter unletw the exjresMon of one woman that "dress reform mu.st come through the fashion plates.

Kchwfetka and His bervanW While in garrison at Fort Sheridan, S.

Oue uioming after Schwatka had been sitting up with some visiting comrades he left orders with his servant that he should be promptly awakened at 9 o'clock. About noon the lieutenant arose without having been called, aud opening the door reading from his bedroom to the dining room in the log quarters which he occupied dis covered his servant lying dead drank on the floor before him. Schwatka raised him from the floor and shook him as a maKtiff wonl-1 a ter rier, exclaiming to him: "You infernal scoundrel, don't you know that 1 ordered you to wake me t;t 9 o'clock? Here I find you drunk in violation of your agree ment that you would never get under the influence of liquor while 1 was on a drunk." The Irishman straightened himself up for attention, saluted and replied: "Yes, sor, but you niver give me no chance. You've kept me sober for three weeks by staying durunk yereelf, ye have." Schwatka forgave him.
