OUR 3iEff YORK LKITLU.
Koten of Interest 1'ickect up by a
Oxonian.
Editor Public Ledger : In your
last number you say that Bob Inger
soll is suing Rev. Tom Dixon for
libel. I read it Rev. A. C. Dixon in
one of the New York papers and your
type were probably twisted. It is a
way type have which nobody but us
lellows who have to contend with
them can appreciate.
While Rev. A. C. Dixon is not as
widely known as his youngest broth
er, he is better known to our people,
as he conducted a very successful
protracted meeting in the Baptist
Church in Oxford, several years
ago.
1 heard Bob Ingersoll lecture on
Myth and Miracle the other Sunday
night. He spoke in the Broadway
Theatre, one of the prettiest audi
toriums in the city, and notwith
standing the fact that full theatre
prices were charged the house was'
packed to over flowing.
Old Bob is as bald-headed as his
pictures represent him, and is taller
than you might imagine; he is not
exactly an eloquent man, nor has he
a particularlv pleasant voice, yet one
can not help paying attention to
what he says.
When he made fun of such things
as Moses crossing the Red Sea, the
audience laughed and applauded,
but as he paused at the close of a
beautifully worded sentence in which
lie made a jest at the expense of the
Holy Sacrament of the Lord's Sup
per that large house was as still as
death.
My views on religious subjects are
the same now that they were before
hearing the famous infidel.

It is a study to listen to the ways
in which a restaurant waiter will
give a customer's order to the cook.
I went into a cafe recently and or
dered scrambled eggs, wheat cakes
and coffee without cream. My order
was interpreted to the party m the
rear thus: u Scrambled two, brown
the wheat, draw one and have it
black.'" Thanks to my experience
in giving people such little things as
liquor arsenii et hydrargyri iodidi
when they thought they were simply
t i T'v "I i T
getting uonovan s solution, l was
able to keep my seat and eat unmur
ingly what was set before me.
One's knowledge and experience
frequently comes in handy at very
unexpected junctures.
The political situation gets more
and more interesting.
Hill seems to be growing in popu
larity among Southern Democrats,
while the outer indications are that
Cleveland's hold on the affection of
those people is weakening.
How honest men, who love honest
government and who are Democrats,
partly because they can't stand the
trickery and knavery of the Repub
licans, can desert a leader whose
every utterance is pregnant with
patriotism, honesty and devotion to
principle, who is broad enough to
have views on the great questions of
the day and bold enough to express
them, and rallv to the standard of a
tricky politician, who is to-day more
than any other man, responsible for
the country being under Republican
rule, who straddles great economical
questions, who thwarts the will of
the people with packed conventions
and who would not hesitate to sacri
fice any principle or any person to
gratify his own personal ambition,
is more than is comprehensible by
intellect of your humble correspon
dent. And he doen't expect to learn to
"eat crow" in November either.

the best professor in the university there could
not give him relief. Coming here he saw P. P.

rrojnmncca Hopeless, Yet Saved.
From a letter written by Mrs. Ada E. Hurd, of
Groton, S. D., we quote: "Was taken with a bad
cold, which settled on my lungs, cough set in and
finally terminated in consumption. Four docg
tors gave me up, saying I could live but a ehoit
time. I gave myself up to my Savior, determined
if I could not stay with my friends on earth, I
would meet my absent ones above. My husband
was advised to get Dr. King's New Discovery for
consumption, coughs and colds. I gave it a trial,
took in all eight bottles ; it has cured me, and
thank God i am now a well and healthy woman.''
