SUNDAY IN HOUSTON.
Dr, Rankin's Sermon on the Right-
eous Man's Love to
Do Good.
Another Brick Building- Contracted For.
Third Ward Citizens Want Representa-
tion in the City Council.
Houston, Tex., March 18.—The following
Is a synopsis of the sermon preached by
Dr. Rankin at Shearn Methodist church
this morning:
"My meat is to do the will of him which
sent me and to finish his work.—John iv.,
34."
In the heart of a man thoroughly conse-
crated to the will of God Christian duty is
a delight, and not a burden. This 'truth
finds illustration in the experience and
character of our Lord during his earthly
life. He made his will the outward ex-
pression of God's will. In this fact Is found
TiLa success as the SavPour otf irnen. He thus
becomes our model, our exemplar. Hence
the Apostle Paul exhorts*us: "Let this
mind be in you which was also in Christ."
A man lives two lives; that is, a Christian
man; one life is after the flesh. Under the
inspiration of these virtues it becomes his
meat to do the will of God and to finish
his work. He puts himself in harmony
with the conditions of spiritual growth,
and thereby assumes his normal relation to
all of the great issues of time and eter-
nity. His bod/y and ihis soul become the
property of God to be used for his glory
and for the good of the race. In time he
becomes a cheerful Christian. Duty is not
a drudge but a pleasure; to do good is not
Irksome, but a delight. It Is his 'meat. He
carries a bright, cheerful, hopeful view of
life. He becomes active in every good
word and work. He not only believes in
Christ but he does something for Christ.
"Inasmuch as you have done it unto the
least of one o>f these, my brethren, ye have
unto me." He never becomes stagnant like
an unfed pool, but he continues fresh and
pure like the artesiun well, whose supply
is unfailing. "It is his meat to do the will
of God and to finish his work."
The life of the flesh is sustained by bread
and meat. From this food he derives
blood, muscle and nerve force. These make
him a working quantity in his physical or-
ganism. This is his lower life and it forms
the basis for h.% higher spiritual life.
"Man does not live by bread alone, but by
every word which proceedeth out of the
mouth of God." Obedience to the law of
God is the highest life of w«hich man is
capable. Out of this life of obedience he
derives truthfulness, honesty, charity, good-
ness and love.

num" was found in bed beside him, indicat-

WEATHER AND CROPS.
Cold Sprlns, Tex., March 16.—Heavy rain
fell last night, accompanied with some wind
and hall. No damage reported so far.
Tilden, Tex., March 16.—No rain for many
months. Farmers are at a standstill. Some
stock is dying. Most of the cattlemen are
feeding, but the loss will be heavy.
Taylor, Tex., March 18.—Farmers and
gardeners are crying loudly and lustily for
rain to place the soli in better icondition for
plowing. Stock water is also becoming
scarce on the prairies.
New Waverly, Tex., March 18.—The farm-
ers. on account of wet weather and the late
spring, are behind, but if the weather con-
tinues as favorable as at present for a
while they will soon catch up, as they art*
rapidly turning over their ground. Some
few are through planting corn. Peach trees
are in full bloom and if Jack Frost visits
us Easter Sunday we will be minus of fruit
this season.
Palestine, Tex., March 18.—A fearful elec-
tric and rain storm visited this place at
midnight last night. There was an inces-
sant play of lightning for three-quarters of
an hour, which passed away without doing
any damage. Heavy rain is reported from
Oakwood and Buffalo and slight rain at
Ilearne. Meager reports reached here this
morning of a hurricane from the northwest
to southeast through Emory, in Rains coun-
ty, Mlneola and Longview. sweeping houses
and trees in its path. Four persons are re-
ported to have been killed at Emory and
several injured, with severe damage to
property. Wires are broken down and
definite news can not be obtained at this
writing. The clouds are low and threaten-
ing, with indications that the storm Is not
yet over.
HALLBTTSVILLE ITEMS.
Hallettsville, Tex., March 18.—State Super-
intendent of Public Schools J. M. Carlisle,
who has been attending the teachers' In-
stitute of Lavaca county here for two
days, has returned home. He spoke Friday
night in the Baptist church to the public
regarding educational affairs of the state.
He said he was decidedly of the opinion
that the state pro rata school fund had
reached Its highest limit, and Instead of In-
creasing would decrease and therefore ad-
vised local taxation. He is a candidate for
re-election.
Mr.John Price, who Is In Jail here charged
with murdering Bill Ballard, Is not an un-
married man but has a family who now re-
side In Calhoun county. He expects to be
released from jail on bond as soon as he
can have a hearing. There are now only
three criminals in Jail; one of them is wait-
In* the result of an appeal.
The campaign for the county offices has
opened up and the local newspaper men are
happy. The democrats last time made
county nominations to fight the third party
and will doubtless do so again if there is
peace and harmony at home.
Candidates for the legislature will be
required to make known their choice for
senator to succeed Coke.
Although three aldermen are to be elected
in April there are no candidates. The
money affairs of the city arc not in good
shape, and men are not anxious ion that ac-
count to serve as aldermen.

STOPPED BY THE POLICE.
Young Griffo as Go »i as Gets Away With
the Belfast Spider.
•Chicago, March 57.—A crow 1 that filled the
Second regiment armory to-night saw ike
Weir, the "Belfast Spider," and Arthur
Griffiths, better known as "Young Griffo,"
box two hot rounds. They had started on
the third when the <' nte>t was stopped by
the police. Griffo plainly showed that he
weighed more by ten « i tiftivn pounds than
"The Spider," and in science was more
than a match for ^ eir The main event
was preceded by sparring between local
lights. Weir's secon is were Solly Smith
and Harry Gilmore. while Griffo had his
trainer, Sam Fitzpatriek. .lack Costello and
Steve O'Donnell. The timekeepers were
Malachi Hogan forWeir and Jerry Daily for
Griffo. George Siler was referee.
In the llrst round \Wir led for Griffo
and fell short, receiving ,i hot blow In the
ribs in return. Grit landed on Weir's
neck twice and reach',] for his face, but
was stopped. It was -ive and take, with
fast infighting, and th. round ended in
Griffo' a favor.
At the call of time for the second round
Griffo went at Weir in a lively manner,
and soon had him winded. Following up
this advantage, Griff" knocked Weir to his
knees, and when he jumped up Griffo hit
again, avoiding a clinch, and coming back,
knocked Weir down a second time. This
was followed by three more knock-downs,
and Weir was all but out when time was
called.
Round three opened with Weir gamely
rushing Griffo, but th advantage of supe-
rior weight was too much for the Spider.
Twice Griffo knocked Weir down, and the
latter was obliged to take time to get on
his feet, being very gio-.-y. At this junc-
ture Inspector Shea "l i-red the contest
stopped and Weir's ®ec>>ads rushed into the
ring and helped him his corner. The
referee wajs obliged to call the fight a
draiw, much to the disgust of the crowd.
ARCHBISHOP I KM LAND
Preaches a Very Patriotic St. Patrick's
Day Sermon.
St. Paul, Minn., March 17.—Archbishop
Ireland preached in the cathedral to-day on
St. Patrick's day, taking for his theme:
"Foreign Nationalism in America." For-
eign nationalism in America, he said, must
be kept in the background and be made to
give place In the church and street to
Americanism.
The Catholic church, as far as she wears
a national aspect, must be American in
America. To make her Irish is to make her
unfit for the country. Segregation of one
body of Catholics from another on foreign
lines is wrong.
The church has suffered from lack of
Americanism; one nationalism is and must
be supreme in our civil and social mat-
ters, and that is American nationalism.
On this condition ha^ America admitted
foreigners to citizenship. No political seg-
regation of citizens on foreign lines can
be allowed. It is wron^ to have a so-called
Irish-American vote. No one should vote
as an Irishman and seek an office as an
Irishman. It is wrong in private life to
cultivate the spirit of a foreign national-
Ism at the expense of American national-
ism. Nothing can be allowed that takes
in the slightest degree from the honor of
her flag and allegiance to her laws. Citi-
zens of foreign descent must know that
only by being thorough Americans can
they succeed even In material prospects,
and in the gaining of respect and confi-
dence in the country.
CRIPPLE CREEK TROUBLE.
The Miners Struck for an Eight Hour Day,
With Nine Hours' Wages.
Cripple Creek, Col., March 17.—An anx-
ious day has followed a night of excite-
ment and adventure in the great gold min-
ing district known to the world as Crip-
ple Creek. The resistance offered the sher-
iff's posse by the miners, who are striking
for an eight hour day and the same wages
as were formerly paid for nine hours, and
the call for militia has given the affair a
warlike aspect.
The telegraph wires are still down be-
tween Cripple Creek and Bull Hill, but It
is learned the miners are defiant and are
threatening to reels>t the troops when they
arrive. The eft^eriiff is arming and equip-
ping men to suppleaiint the. troops. Along
the trails leading over the hills last night
the milners collected, shooting at passing
pedestrians and people on horseback.

journment, said that the Illinois Central,
Louisville and Nashville and the Chatta-
nooga, New Orleans and Texas Pacific had
returned to the association. The differences
between the Louisville and Evansville and
Cairo and St. Louis had been referred to

tatives of twenty-three dffferent roads. All
other roads engaged in cutting rates have
agreed on and after April 2 to operate un-
der the rules in force before the rate war
brolie out.

WANTS A HUSBAND.
Chicago. March 12.—Miss Maggie Sanford,
the owner of five farms near Madison, Wis.,
is ill years old. pretty, and is counted worth
$.r><UKK). At the present time Maggie i« in the
city for the purpose, of securing a. husband.
She has been managing her farms herself
and has come to the conclusion that she
would like someone etee to do it for her.
She says there are no young men around
Madison suitable to her taste and she wrote
to a matrimonial bureau in this city. This
was a "graft" for the bureau, and the
wants of the young lady were made known
in all part»s of the country. There were
hundreds of answers, accompanied by pho-
tographs of young, old anil middle-aged
men who were willing to take up the bur-
den of being a husband to a $.">0,000 wife,
and the young lady was unable to decide
between them. At the suggestion of the
manager of the bureau-she came to the city
last night and to-day put in the entire day
at the bureau questioning the different ap-
ulicants in this city. Those who live else-
where have been asked to come here, and if
they all come the railroads will do an im-
mense business during the next two or
three days. She say#$ne will make a selec-
tion before ehe returns, but that it is al-
most as hard work as to take care of her
farms. Her experiment is attracting a good
of attention.

GLASS BY MAIL.
New Orleans Picayune.
Superintendent of Foreign Mails N. M.
Brooks has issued a circular relating to
fragile articles in the malls which are
exchanged with certain countries. The
international bureau of the Universal

ment at Washington that the adminis-
trations of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria.
Bosnia, llerzgovina Denmark, Egypt,
France Hungary, Italy, Luemburgh,
Nicaragua, Norway, the. Netherlands,
East Indies, (juiana, Paraguay, Portugal,
Russia. Spain, Sweden and Tunis consent
to admit to the mails exchanged with other
countries <>t' the postal union samples of
articles composed of glass or other fragile
substances, provided they are packed to
preclude any possibility of injury to postal
employes or the correspondence in case the
articles should break. Samples of articles
composed of glass, or other fragile arti-
cles, in unsealed packages are, therefore,
admissible in the mails exchanged between
the United States and the countries of the

packages, so the superintendent orders, will
receive due attention, both when sent and
when received, by postmasters.
