PrU Sit. hue CHAPTER X. Mr. FTardy begau lu a low. clear tone: . "Y.vo and Women of BartonTo Digit I eta Dot the inaa you have knowo me tlus rears I Law bwu among yon. I am. by the gi-ace of God. a otir ma t tire. As 1 stand here I Lav no gnatcr ilcslre in my bean than to nf wLut umy prove to U- a Weaning to till my old tow unpeople and to my vwiiiloveea und to these strong young uuu utul lioys. Vitulu a few abort day (iol has suowu me the self ishness of a human Mag' heart, uud that heart was uiy own. aud It la wltb feelings none of you can ever know that 1 look into your facea and aay the words." Robert paused a moment aa If gath ering himself up for the effort tiiat fol lowed, and the audience, startled wltb aa unexpected emotion by tbe strange beginning, thrilled with excitement, as. lifting bis arm and raising bis voice, tba one cold and proud man contin ued, bis fact and form glowing wltb tba transfiguration of a new manhood: Tbm it but on supreme law Id tbia world, and It la tbla: Love God and your neighbor wltb beart, mind, soul strength. And there are but two things 'Worth living for; Tbe glory of Ood and tba salvation of man. Tonight I, who look Into eternity In a rense wblcb 1 will not stop to txplali. feel the bit terness which comes frexn tbe knowl edge that I have broken that law and bave not lived for those things wblcb alone are worth living for. "But God baa sent me here tonight with a message to tbe people which my beart must deliver. It Is a duty even more sacred In some ways tbnn what I owe to my own kindred. I am aware that the hearts of the people are shock ed Into numbness by the recent horror I know that more than one bleeding heart Is In this houm. and tbe shadow of the hint enemy bus fallen over tunny thresholds In our town. What! Did I not enter Into the valley of the shad ow of death myself an 1 stumbled over tbe ghnsllj rulun of that wreck, my tout toru In twain for the love of three of my own dear children? Do I not eympnthlie In full wltb all those who bitterly weep and lament and sit In blackness of horror this nlshtt Yea but. men of Barton, why In It that we are so moved, so stirred. so shocked, by tbe event of death when the fur more awful event of life does not dlttturh us In the least? "We shudder wltb terror, we lone our accustomed pride or Indifference, we speak lu whispers, and we trend softly In the presence of the visitor who smites but once aud then smites tbe body only, but In the awful pres ence of the living luuige of Ood we go ! our ways cureless. Indifferent, cold, passionless, selfish. "1 kuoT whereof I speak, for I have walked through the world like that my- j self. And yet death ennnot be com j pared for one moment with life for majesty, for solemnity, for meaning, j for power. There were 70 persons kill j ed In the accident. But In the papers I this morning I rend In the column next j to that In which the accldeut was i paraded In small type and In the brief I est of paragraphs the statement that a certain young mau In this very town of oars had been arrested for forglug bis father's name on a check and was in tbe grasp of the law. "And every day tn this town and In every town all over tbe world events like that and worse thsn that ire of frequent occurrence. Nay. In this very town of outs more than 73 sonls are at tbla very moment going down Into a far blin ker bell of destruction than the one down there under that fated j bridge, aud the community Is not hor rtfled over It. How many muss meet , logs have been held lu this town with ' In tbe Inst S3 years over the losses of character, the death of purltj. the do- 1 traction of honesty? Yet they have j outnumbered the victims of this late , physical disaster a thousandfold. I "And what does mere death do? It releases the spirit from Its house of earth, but aside from that death does nothing to tbe person. Hut whnt does Of do? I.lfe does everything, It pre pares for heaven or for hell. It starts Impulses, molds character, fixes char acter. Death has no kingdom without end. Death la only the last enemy of the many enemtea that life know. Death la a second; life is an ouTWtr O tutu, brothers, It as 1 sokmuly aud truly believe, this is tbe last opportu titty 1 shall have to spoak to you lb such large UuuiLcrs, I deal re you to remember, wbeu 1 have vauULed from your sight, that 1 spvut ueorly my Ium brstrtb In an appeal to you to make the nost of dally Ufa, to glorify lioe aad save men. "The greatest euemy of man Is not death; U Is selfishness, fie sits on the txjeone of tbe entire world. This very disaster which has filled the town with arrow was due to etlQshno. Let ui aoe If that Is not so. It has been prov ed by Investigation already made that tba draukeuness of a track Inspector was tbe cause of the accident. What wag the canse of that drunkenness The drinking habits of that Inspector. How did be acquire them? In a sa loon which we taxpayers allow to run on payment of a certain sum of money Into our owu treasury. "So, then. It was the greed or selfish' ncss of the nijjn of this town wblcb lies at the, bottom of this dreadful dis aster. Who was to blame for the dis aster? Tbe track Inspector? No. Tbe saloon keeper who sold blin the liquor? No. Who then? We ourselves, my brothers; wo who licensed the selling of tbe stuff which turned a man's brain nto liquid fire and smote his judg ment and reason with a brand from out the burning pit " "If 1 had stumbled upon tbe three corpses of my own children night lie fore lust. I could have exclaimed In Justice before the face of Ood. i have murdered my own children.' for I was one of tbe men of Bartou to vote for the license which made possible the drunkenness of the man In whose care were placed hundreds of lives. "For what Is the history of this ease 7 Who was this wretched track In spector? A man who. to my own knowledge, trembled lefore tempta tion: who. on the testimony of Wie fore man at the sliojw. was aud always had been a sober man up to the time when we as a muulcipallty voted to replace the system of no license wltb tbe sa loon for the sake of what we thought was a necessary revenue. This man bad no great temptation to drink while the saloon was out of the way. Its very absence was his salvation. But Its public open return confronted bis apietlte once more, and he yielded and foil. "Who snrs be was to blame? Who nre tbe real criminals In the case? We ourselves, i-ltlseus; we wbo. for the greed of galu. for the wiving of that which has destroyed more souls lu bell tliau any other one thing, made possl I le the cannes which led to the grief and trouble of this hour. Would we not shrink In terror from the thought of lying lu wait to kill a mun? Would we not reMl with holy horror tbe Idea of murdering aud maiming 75 people? We would say 'Impossible!' Yet when I am ushered at last Into the majestic presence of Almighty God I feel con vinced I, shall see In his righteous, countenance the sentence of our con demnatiou Just as certainly as If we bad gone out In a lioily and by wicked craft had torn out the supporttug tim bers of that bridge Juuf before the train thundered upon It, for did we not sanction by law a business which we know tempts men to break all the laws, which ML our Jails aud poor houses, our reformatories and asylums, which breaks women's hearts and beg gars blessed homes aud sends luuocent children to thread the paths of shame and viif rnucy. which brings pallor Into the face of tbe wife and tosses with the devil's own glee a thousand vic tims into perdition with every revolu tion of this great planet about Its grctiu-r sun?

Knoxvllle, Tenn., July 30. At a re cent meeting of the board of trustees of the University of Tennessee an ap propriation was made for the erection of a dairy school building for the de partment of agriculture of the univers ity. This building, together with the apparatus to be placed in It, will cost something over $8000. It is one of the first buildings. If not the first, designed ror student instruction in this Import ant subject in the south. This dairy hall will be located on the university farm. The main building will be 40 by SO feet, with a boiler and milk testing room attached, 25 by 31 feet, making In all something over 4000 square feet of floor space devoted to dairy instruction. The work of con structlon la In progress and It will be equipped with modern machinery and ready tor the use of students in -the courses In agriculture and dairying commencing next January. It will be a hand no me one-story brick building nnisneti in white mortar. There will be nine rooms In the build ing, each devoted to a special pur pose. In the first or general work room will be placed the milk and cream vats, separators, churns, but'tr work ers, etc. This room will be provided with marble top printing: tables and with ample closet room under the milk receiving platform, the building being so constructed that milk can be car ried to any part of It by gravity. In the rear of the work room will be found the wash room and the refrig erator well. Just across the hall the lavatory will be situated. This con tains lockers for the white suits the students will be required to wear when at work. Down the hallway will be the pasteurizing, sterilizing and bottling mom. On the opposite side of the hall will be the cheese curing room. This will have brick walls so that a uniform temperature may be maintained, as the curing is the difficult part of cheese making. The rear part of the main structure will be devoted to cheese making. The machinery here will be of the latest and best design and this room, like all the others, will be large admirably lighted and adapted for its Intended use. In the annex will be sit uated the boiler and engine room and the milk testing laboratory. THE ItiONY OF FATE. From the Chicago Tribune.
