It is generally agreed that such humili ation as Mr. Bailey gave Candidate Hill lalo a week ago by proclaiming 11 ins dale a weakling before the .jury and an easy mark for the lawyers, was lifted by last night's speech iu which the lie hot and direct was sent back to Mr. Bailey. If calling folks things helps tlx Hinsdale speech has boon rich in results. It is planned now to print the speech and to circulate it. The answer to tin Bailey attack upon Hinsdale as jiractl tioner was the most effective portion ot an argument which was intensely person al both iu it treatment of himself anil of Bailey. There have been no fight? either on account of what was said about Mr. Bailey or Mr. Gulley, Every day there is a potential scrap between Gul ley. who is an officer in the department of Col. A. I).

Mr. Hall conducted the liturgical service and Mr. Bogei preached the sermon, in delivering; the cnarge to tlie pastor, he too for his text Acts 20:23. lie emphasized the fact that the minister is called of God 10 his work, "Over whom the Holy Ghost hath called you, ' ' and that being called of God the busincess of the pastor .'a greater than any other business, namely, the salvation of the souls of men. And yet, although called by God, the minister is still a human being with temptations like unto other men and therefore ho must take heed unto himself first that he may the better discharge his calling in taking heed to all of the flock 'of God. This last thought was strongly present ed by charging the new pastor that ho must not spend all his time among those with whom it is pleasant for him to a, sociate but to go out after the indiffer ent, cold-hearted and lost as well. tftiecial music was rendered by the choir.

The mission in the Catho'i rhurch was conuuiieu iasi nigni wiin .1 M-rmoii on a message trom the deal, that has often been written upon a tombstone. "Remember this as you pass bv : As you are now so once was 1; As 1 am now so you must be; Bo ready then to follow me." Father Reginald amplified the differ cut parts of this message and applieil them with illustrations to tie1 Jiving present. The warning, ho seiid, was a repetition of the warning which Christ gave when He said: "He ye ali ready, for at what hour yo know not, the bun of Man will come. ' ' Christ told ns that death would come not when we expected it; but when we I least expected it, like a thief iu the! night. He did not spare His Apostles, I best friends, and greatest saints.; and sinners were very foolish if they thought that He would sjiare them. He knew the time, place, and manner of our death; but He did not give us that knowledge because He did not wish ;n to delay our preparation until the end, but to make every day of life a prepara tion for death by sorrow and repentance for sin,, by works of penitance, by keep - ing His commandments, and by the de vout practice of our. religion.

This Hood, the result of a cloudburst in the hills of Terrell county, Texas, last Saturday, is remarkable iu the his tory of the river, not only because it has exceeded all previous records but also because of its slow movement and sustained volume.

The flood crest appears to be moving at bye miles an hour which will bring it to the lower valley after midnight tonight . Those familiar with the lower Rio (iramie valley, much of which is barely above sea level, fear that the upper llood will spread far beyond all previous overflow marks.

VESUVIUS IS AGAIN IN ACTIVE STATE ROME June 21. The activity of Mount Vesuvius for several days past has caused sonsiderable alarm in the surrounding villages, but experts con aider that the alarm is groundless. An eruptive cone within the crater on the northern side is gradually de creasing. A thick smoke with mattei swirling upward to an altitude 01 about 1,200 feet is creating a magni ficent spectacle. The experts attribute the reawak ening of Vesuvius to the aboundant rain, which always increases the ac tivity of the mountain, but believe there is no special danger to the Veau vian villages or the visitors crowding them to enjoy the picturesque sights.

The city curb market, like all other propositions sponsored by tho Woman's Club, has proved a success. Born on June 7, it is today three weeks young. It swayed back and forth for tho first fortnight; sometimes the country folk were blamed, and sometimes the city consumers were, said ti be unworthy. Now today, a happy medium has been reached and all is well, the sea is calm, and a bright future is predicted for all parties concerned. The city ' 'progres sive housekeepers have been howling for several summers for 11 curb market where they would be ablo to buy fresh produce direct from the growers. The gentry have been asking for the same where they may meet the consumer and dispose of their wares instead of ped dling them from one end of the city to the other. An important change has been made in the affairs of the market. Begin ning the week of Monday, June -li, the market's opening days will bo moved up. Instead of being open for business on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, it will be opened on Tuesdays, Thurs days and Saturdays. It was inconven ient for the venders to get to market ou Monday morning and tho housewives also found that it did not suit them to come to market on Monday. All are requested fo fix this change in their minds aud help to keen tho curb market up to a high rating. Wednesday's business was well at tended. There' was pleuty of produce i on hand and consumers bought heavily New Irish potatoes and cucumbers made their initial appearance tpday. Apples and berries were plentiful and other fresh products were for sale in large quantities. Saturday promises to 1)0 a record breaking day in every respect.
