A RELIGIOUS BOYCOTT PR0P08ED.
It is reported the Methodist Epis-
copal church, north, is going to with-
draw its exhibits from the Colum-
bian Exposition and inaugurate a
boycott against the fair by issuing a
manifesto calling upon all the mem-
bers of the church to stay away from
the fair every day of the week. This
is all on account ot the fact that the
federal court has decided that the
management of the fair have the le-
gal right to open it on Sundays if
tbey want to. If, however, the
Methodists-all stay away (we don't
believe they will) it might be as well
to take out the church exhibits. They
would hardly be missed by the rest
ol the world who do go, while the
more liberal churches would have
the field to themselves and get all
the benefit and all the glory there is
in it.
But the boycott has been declared
a violation of law in this country,
and is the great M. E. church about to
put itself on record as a corporation
law-breaker? It doesn't seem pos-
sible, but strange things happen
nowadays. We fear the leaders of
this religious boycott movement con-
sider Paul (Romas iii, 7,) better
authority than Jesus.

An Eleotrio Motor Fifty Tsars Ago.
The Waco Day-Globe has come
across a copy ot Greeley's Tribune,
published in 1841, which contains a
London news item to the effect that
Captain Taylor, of New York, had
invented a small electrical motor and
had it then driving a lathe. The
Captain was so enthusiastic over the
practicability ot his discovery that
he declared he would not return to
New York until he could come in a
ship run by lightning.

so anxious to be shot at as to travel
even over as popular a road as the
M., K. A T., when there are other
and safer routes at their disposal.

BEIRNE * STENSON
United States Senator Leland
Stanford, of California,- died at
Menlo Park, Cel., on the night of
June 3i. He was in good spirits
during the day and enjoyed a drive
around the farm, and retired about
10 o'clock. A servant entered the
room about 13 o'clock and discov-
ered the senator was dead. Heart
failure was, no doubt, the cause of
dissolution.
HI8 RELIGIOH AT FAULT.
Rev. Little is catching it all round
for the intemperate language he in-
dulged in in a sermon preached at
the Presbyterian church in this city
last Sunday. At the morning serv-
ice, in speaking of the sacredness ot
the first day ot the week, he de-
clared that he would sooner see the
cholera sweep over this fair land
than to have read the decision of the
United-States court that the World's
Fair could be opened on Sunday.
That Mr. Little meant exactly what
be said is evident because he reiter-
ated it in the same place at the eve-
ning service. Such a sentiment is
shocking, and one can hardly realize
that there are men in this day, who
claim to be educated, that would
prefei to see a deadly plague destroy
the innocent, orphanize children,
rob parents of prattling babes and
spread a pall over the land simply
because a federal court decided that
the greatest educational exhibition
the World ever saw may be thrown
open to the public every day in the
week. The religious observance or
non-obseivance of Sunday is some-
thing with which the government has
nothing to do. It does not even rest
upon any divine command. The only
authority for its religious observance
is the Roman Catholic Church,
and this Mr. Little ought to know if
he doesn't Consequently his lan-
guage simply means that he would
sooner see the cholera rage in this
country than that a church edict
should not be enforced by civil
authority. But the Gazetteer can-
not believe that such sentiments
originated in the heart of the man.
It is his religion that is at fault.
Nothing mudh more liberal could be
expected of 4 blind follower of John
Calvin, a man who could sanction
the slow torture by fire of an honest
man simply because they differed as
to the tripersonality of the God head
and of the eternity of the Son, some-
thing that neither one of them knew
anything about. After a man has
convinced himself that "by the de-
cree of God, for the manifestation
ot his glory, some men and angels
are predestined unto everlasting life,
and others foreordained to everlast-
ing death," and that infants not
elect cannot be saved (Presbyterian
confession of faith,) he is about
prepared to inaugurate an inquisi-
tion, and revive the Calvanistic
method of silencing his opponents.
Fortunately men of Mr. Little's way
of thinking are not yet in the ma-
jority in this boasted land of religi-
ous liberty, and it wil) be fortunate
for some ot us if they never are.

"You don't hear any talk in the
country about money being tight,
said L. A. Allen a few days since
in Kansas City to a Kansas City
Times reporter. You hear it in
town, and there is more scare than
anything else connected with it.
Have you any idea how much money
has gone out from the Kansas City
livestock market during the last six
months in payment for stock?
Would you think it was $10,000,-
000 or $13,000,000? No. Well, it
amounts to over $30,000,000. And
all this money represents profit to
some one. There have been no
losses anywhere. Some have made
more than others, bfit since 1S85
this has been the most profitable
season for those who have fed cattle,
hogs and sheep. All have made
something, and the total amount
sent back to the country for pro-
ducts of all kinds during the last six
months has been one-third more
than ever betorp. You do not hear
the man from | the country kicking
about money stringency ; everything
is going with them as easy as wear-
ing old shoes.® So, I say, there is
no reason for any talk about money
stringency in the West. Stock-
raisers certainly have no reason to
complain.
The Lizzie Borden murder case
was given to the jury Tuesday after-
noon, and at 4:30 the jury rendered
a verdict of not guilty. The result
was hailed by the crowd in the court
house with uproarious enthusiasm.
IB IT WORTH WHILE ?
mrs. julia truit bishop.
The French have a very express-
ive proverb, founded on some poor,
childish game, in which a lighted
candle played an important part.
"The game is not worth the can-
dle," say these keen satirists; and
the expression has come to apply to
a great many other events in life, as
well as the game in which foolish
mortals waste a good candle to se-
cure very poor sport. I myself see
people doing things every day which
cause me to ask myself, "Is it worth
while?" And the honest tru h is
that most lives are crowded full ot
things which are really not worth
while. The game is a wretched
failure and the candle is a costly
one.

There is the mother, for instance,
who spends her strength and devotes
her days to making beautiful gar-
ments for her children; and not con-
tent to keep them plainly and neatly
clothed, adds long rows ot tucks
and embroidery and ruffles to every
garment. How weary she is after
her day's toil over the machine.
Her tired nerves have been on a
strain so long that she is irritable
and excitable, and is neither mother
nor companion to her children when
the day's work is over. True, the
children are picturesque and beauti-
ful in their dainty garments, but the
question comes, "Is it worth
while?" Are dainty clothes, which
children will outgrow in a year, suf-
ficient compensation tor the days of
weariness and the total surrender of
all the pleasures and privileges of
motherhood ?
• • •
And there are parents, who, on
the other hand, "through long days
of labor and nights devoid of ease"
concentrate their thoughts upon two
ideas alone—first, to make money,
and second, to save it. "Ah, I have
had to work my way from the
ground up," says the father, whose
hands are baid and whose form is
bent with toil. "I am determined
that my Bob shall be a gentleman,
and hold his head as high as any of
them!" So the father and mother
work like galley slaves, and deny
themselves every pleasure and every
comfort. They are the ones that
walk to save car fare, and whose
lives are lived out in the meanest and
narrowest bonds. And with what
result? Why, there is but one
generation between shirt sleeves,
says the old adage. Bob goes to
Europe on the money his father
saved by walking, and gives wine
suppers with what his parents saved
by living like beggars. The conse-
quence is that Bob's children begin
from the ground up, as their grand-
father did. The fortune accumulat-
ed through so many years of toil and
self-sacrifice took so few years to
scatter to the winds. Was it worth
while?
DOH'T WANT"HIM THERE.
The following Texas item appear-
ed in the Chicago tribune last Fri-
day : •
A man sat in the doorway of the
Texas State Building yesterday and
made and repeated to callers the fol-
lowing speech: "This building
will be open to visitors next Mon-
day. There won't be any exercises
of a formal nature. The doors will
be swung wide open, and any one
who comes in will be welcome.
The governor ot the state will not be
here. We don't want him. If he
comes we will throw him out. He
vetoed the appropriation, and as
that was against the will of the peo-
ple ot Texas the governor is not ex-
pected here, and if he understands
it, which I think he does, he will
keep away."

Some one suggests that if the
opening of the great World's Edu-
cational Exhibition to the public on
Sundays would bring just enough
cholera into this country to give all
the bigoted preachers ot the Little
stripe a good dose of it, it would be
a good thing. Every doctor ought
to be willing to take his own medi-
cine.

was accompanied by a terrible rain
storm and midnight darkness. Six-

dead were horribly mangled. The
same night another tornado passed

THIS 08 RATHEB MIXEl).
Wednesday evening, on the
Woodard street side of the Nolan
livery stable, Joe O'Toole, Mr.
Mandere, the French baker, and a
half dozen dogs engaged in a free-
tor-all, rough-and-tumble fight. It
was a regular ring encounter with
menagerie attachment, and all free
to the public. It seems that Mr.
O'Toole had gone to the rear of the
Nolan;stable with hammer and nails
to fasten up an opening in the wall.
Mr. Mandere, who resides and con-
ducts his bakery in the building ad-
joining the stable on the west, and
who, it is said, was under the influ-
ence of whisky, Wednesday evening
passed near the building where
O'Toole was at work. A few bits
of mortar and stone tumbled down
on Mandere, and the Frenchman,
supposing that some one in the No-
lan stable was pelting him with
stones, became quite angry. O'Toole
explained that he did not own the
building, had nothing: to do with its
condition and did not know that
Mandere was passing at the time.
Hot words followed thick and fast
and O'Toole's head stopped a flying
brickbat. This was more than he
could stand, and in a moment his
fist was used as a regular battering
ram against Mandere's head. Man-
dere has a little woolly dog which,
with canine sagacity, came to his
master's rescue. The little dog was
getting in its work on one of
O'Toole's legs in great shape, when
the noise and commotion attracted
Nolan's three stable dogs, and in
an instant the two men and four
dogs were engaged in the most ex-
citing fight witnessed in Denison for
many years. Two of the stable dogs
jumped on the Mandere woolly dog
and the third stable dog assisted
O'Toole in making the blood and
wool fly from Mandere's face and
head. When O'Toole realized Man-
dere's danger and perilous position,
he turned his attention to the dog,
pnd much difficulty was experienced
in quieting the infuriated beasts. In
a few moments, however, the dogs
were called off, Mandere was assist-
ed to his feet and a more dilapidated
specimen of humanity was probably
never seen in Denison. O'Toole
lost jTthumb nail, Mandere lost a
quantity of hair, blood, skin and
clothing. Both men were placed
under arrest and Friday afternoon
the story ot the fight was related to
Justice Hughes.
Friday afternoon Mr. Mandere
was unwell and the case was contin-
ued to Monday evening of next
week. I
A STBAHGE 0A8E.
A negro named Meigs was sent
to the penitentiary for life last year
for killing a Mexican named Ferris.
Since his incarceration a man was
sent to the same penitentiary which
Meigs at once recognized as Ferris,
and he immediately applied to his
attorney to take steps to get him out.
This unusual case has attracted the
attention ot learned lawyers all over
the state, and they have nearly art!
come to the conclusion that therelis
no legal way for Meigs to gain bis
liberty. There are grave doubts
about the Ferris in the penitentiary
being the same Ferris who it was
supposed was murdered, but tfie
question raised is one that is liab
to come up at any time, and it
would be interesting to know ho
the governor would proceed to ge1
an innocent man liberated under
such circumstances. The lawyers
say the pardoning power cannot
reach a person who is not guilty.

Lodge of Colored F ree Masons took
place in Dallas last week. Thirty-
nine lodges were represented the
first day, by about one hundred and
fifty delegates.
Fpur banks in Los Angeles, Cali-
fornia, closed their doors on the
31 st, the First National, Southern
California, Broadway and East Side.
The same day the Consolidated Na-
tional bank and the Savings bank,
in San Diego, suspended.
During this excessively hot
weather those long, large schooners
of sparkling ice cold beer to be
found only at Mike Sweeney's, are
the greatest attractions in Denison.
Last Saturday morning Chief Jus-
tice Fuller overruled the decision of
the circuit court which issued an in-
juction restraining the directors from
opening the World's Fair on Sun-
day. Justices Brown and Allen
concurred in the opinion. This
means that the tair will be opened
Sundays until the close. An appeal
to the United States supreme court
could not be acted upon until the
October term, and then thg fair will
be over.
IMPOBTAHT DE0I8I0N.
A special to the Fort Worth Ga-
zette, from Austin, says that on the
33d, in the Fifty-third district court,
a decision was handed down in tavor
of the state in the case of the State
vs. Canda, Drake & Strauss of New
York, purchasers and holders of
Texas Pacific land grants.
The suit involves one hundred and
eighty thousand dollars' worth ot
land claimed by the railroad for sid-
ings, and seventy-six thousand dol-
lars' worth ot land held on what the
state claims to be void certificates.
This case is one of many brought by
the state against railroads to reclaim
land received by railroads for sid-
ings.
The law under which these lands
were issued to railroads provided
that so many acres should be grant-
ed tor every mile of road in active
operation. The railroads succeeded
in securing land for sidings as well
as main track, and' when this fagt
became known to the legislature
they authorized the attorney-general
to bring suit to recover the lands re-
ceived by railroads for sidings.
& H0Lt]V[ ES
I rise to say that I haven't any
money to spend for newspaper
space for the purpose of springing
the same old chestnuts on you
from day to day. I am saying my
money. I want to go to the
World's Fair. But in the mean-
time if I hare any Merchandise
that you want to buy I will sell it
to you cheaper than you can buy
same goods elsewhere in Denison,
for it is cleaning-up time with me
and no reasonable offer will be re-
fused; and I believe I am in a po-
sition to afford to Bell you cheaper
than any competitor I have, buy-
ing as I do in large quantities for
two stores, Denison and Sherman,
and paying cash for every dollar's
worth I buy, and running these
stores on light expense. No losses
on bad debts. No division of pro-
fits with partner#. My cash dioH
counts alone, if I make nothing
else, are enough to be reasonably
satisfactory to me. Come on! I'll
trade dollars with you until July
1st.

At the World's
At the close of th£ Texas Prei
Association meeting, held at Dallas,
Tex., May 9thyfo 13th,. inclusive,
1893, the merfibers left on their
annual excursion. The destination
this time/was Chicago and the
air. The Iron Mountain
Route between Texarkana and St.
Louis, was selected as The Official
Line. This selection on the part of
the Texas Press Association was a
wise one, for the reason that the
Iron Mountain Route, with its con-
nections, has done more to advertise
"The Lone Star State" throughout
the East, North and West, than any
other railroad, and the selection oi
this line for the trip to the World's
Fair is a recognition of the friendly
feeling in which this road is held by
!ressjaf Texas, and is proof of
their hearty endorsement to any ot
their friends, or to the public at
large, contemplating a trip to the
famous "White City."
This line offers tickets at the low-
est of rates, with stop-over privi-
leges, double daily service from
Texas points to St. Louis and Chi-?
cago, shortest line and equipped
with elegant Pullman Buffet Sleep-
ing-Car service, reclining chair-cars
(in which the seats are free) and the
new model high-back adjustable
seats in their coaches. Particulars
and lurther information will be
cheerfully furnished on application
to John C. Lewis, Traveling Pas-
senger Agent, Iron Mountain Route,
with headquarters at Austin, Tex.,
or by any ticket agent of the Texas
& Pacific Railway, or I. & G. N.
Railway.
Be sure your tickets to St. Louis,
Chicago and the World's Fair read
via the Iron Mountain Route. H.

and Ticket Agent, St. Louis, Mo.

P. J. MATTEHGLY DEAD.
After an illness of six weeks P. J.
Mattingly breathed his last Thurs-
day morning at 1 o'clock at his
house in Fairview. Typhoid fever,
complicated with disordered stom-
ach and bowels, was the cause of
his death.
Mr. Mattingly has been a citizen
and business man of Sherman for
twenty years, and had built up a

It is understood that another at-
