MURRAY’S PRIRTIIB ROUSE
WAS WASHINGTON A CHRISTIAN?
The following appeared in the
Christian Endeavoter for December:
Many Christian Endeavor societies last
year utilized Washington’s Birthday for
Christian Citizenship day. They found
this plan to be helpful to the cause of
Christian Citizenship. As Washington
was distinctly a Christian citizen and
showed his loyalty to his divine Master
on every occasion, there is every reason
why the celebration ot his birthday
should have a religious tone to it.
The Endeavorer must be hard
pressed for an excuse for making a
religious holiday out of Washing-
ton’s birthday, by claiming our first
president as a Christian. It is a well
known fact that Washington never
professsed to be a Christian. Bishop
White, of Philadelphia, wrote that
he could bring no recollection to
mind of any fact which would prove
W«dlilugio&A * win iatian,
outside of the fact that he regularly
attended public worship. In 1831,
Rev. Dr. Willson, a noted Episco-
palian divine, of Albany, stated in
a sermon that Washington was an
unbeliever in Christianity. When
asked about it he stated that he had
read every line that Washington had
given to the public and could not
find one expression which showed
he was a believer, and he concluded
he was a deist and nothing more.
While residing in Philadelphia
Washington attended the Episcopal
church, of which the noted Rev. Dr.
Abercrombie was rector. It was
nlfeed that when the communion
warverved Washington always left
the church. Dr. Abercrombie was
interrogated as to Washington’s re-
ligious views and be replied with
emphasis, “Sir, Washington is a
deist.” The following is an extract
from Jefferson’s Works, Vol. iv;
“I know that Governeur Morris,
who claimed to be in his secrets,
has often told me that General
Washington believed no more in
that system (Christianity) than be
did.” It was the opinion of Tbeo
dore Parker that Washington’s re-
ligious opinions were those of John
Adams, Dr. Franklin and Thomas
Jefferson, and they were deists.

THE TREATY WITH ENGLAND.
Every good citizen of this country
will hail with pleasure every step
forward in the effort to do away
with war, and bring about a settle-
ment of international difficulties by
arbitration, hence, when the news
was made public that this govern-
ment and Great Britain were about
to enter into a treaty which would
accomplish this so far as these two
great powers were concerned, it
was hailed with delight by men and
women all ovef this land, who love
peace and good fellowship. How-
ever, General B. F. Tracy, Secre-
tary of the Navy, is not as favorably
impressed with the treaty, as he was
upon a hasty reading, and there re-
ally seems to be some reason to
iliiuk it would be advisable for con-
gress to go slow in giving it ap-
proval as now worded. General
Tracy is quoted as saying to a
World reporter:
‘‘When the signing of this treaty
was announced I thought it was one
of the greatest triumphs diplomacy
had ever achieved. But since read-
ing with great care what purported
to be the text of the treaty, I am led
to doubt whether we do not by this
treaty agree to submit to arbitration
of a European monarch the whole
question of the Monroe doctrine and
our right to enforce it.
‘‘By article 1 it is provided that
the high contracting parties agree to
submit to arbitration, in accordance
with il|e provisions of this treaty, all
questions in difference between
them which they may fail to adjust
by d'plomatic negotiations.
‘‘Secretary Olney is reported as
declaring that by tbis treaty England
has recognized and affirmed the
Monroe doctrine. I fail to find anv
language in this treaty which justi-
fies any such inference. On the
contrary, it seems clear that if1 this
treaty is ratified the United States
binds itself to submit to arbitration
its right to enforce the Monroe doc
trine as against England.
‘‘If Spain in her distress should
sell Cuba to England I am unable
to see why article 9 does not ex-
pressly provide that our right to ex-
clude her from ‘the control and en-
joyment of the territory claimed’
under such a purchase is not to be
submitted to arbitration.
“The language ot article 9,
whether so intended or not, would
seem to fit and provide for the ex-
act situation that should exist under
these circumstances. *

FOR A8SESS0R AND COLLECTOR.
Mr. Joe Brutsche announces in
th.is issue of the Gazetteer as a
candidate for re-election to the office
of city assessor and collector. It is
with pleasure that the Gazetteer
gives this information to its readers,
because Mr. Brutscl^s record of
several years’ service'‘in this ca-
pacity has demonstrated his eminent
fitness fAr this position. He is one
of the most painstaking and accurate
business men that have ever served
the city in this or any other capacity.
His books are models of neatness
and systematic accuracy, and he has
performed every duty pertaining to
the responsible duties of his office,
during all the years that he has
served the, people, with scrupulous
fidelity and rigid impartiality. The
office of assessor and collector is un
questionably one of the most im-
.portant to the community, because
it is upon an equitable valuation of
city property that every tax payer is
made to bear his just proportion of
the expenses which an incorporated
Community necessarily incurs in
maintaining wholesome government,
and providing for the common good.
A thorough knowledge of property
values on the part of an assessor is of
prime importance to every property
holder, a fact which no voter should
overlook, and in this respect it is
safe to say that Mr. Brutsche has no
equal in Denison. It is the part of
wisdom to keep a man at the head
of ’his branch of the public service,
who has demonstrated his fitness,
snd that is reason enough, in the
opinion of the Gazetteer, to en-
dorse Mr. Brutsche for re-election.

The Evening Post’s copyrighted
London cablegram says:
. The spread of Tolstoi among the
educated and professional classes of
Russia has led to a spiri ed crusade
against tbe Tolstoi’s. In some vil-
lages one out of every ten inhabi-
tants are avowed Tolstoists and
there are many more secret adher-
ents. A notable accession is Prince
Ditnirry Chilkoff.
Tbe bouses of suspected persons

active Tolstoists have mysteriou-ly

feared they have been sent to Sibe-

Uncle Mose earnestly and firmly as-

has often met Massey and Burk
traveling up tbe road side by side in
earnest conversation; that only last
week, while he was going home,
Massey and Burk emerged' from a
grove of trees, came out in the road
and were leisurely traveling along
the road side by side talking to each
other; that he stepped to one side to
let them pass; that Massey spoke to
him and told him that be was at
rest. Uncle Mose says that his
daughter, Lucy, has often seen them
and heard them talking. He is
earnest in this matter, and proposed
to the News reporter that if he would
go with him most any night he
would show him the departed Sam
Massey and Jim Burk promenading
side by side up the road, conversing
with each other. The reporter has
not yet accepted Uncle Mose’s invi-
tation.

Charleroi, Jan. 19.—A Svengali-
Trilby case in real life is the reign-
ing sensation here, for to day the di-
vorce suit of Prince Josjph Cora-
man-Chimay against his beautiful
American wife, who eloped with a
Hungarian gypsy violinist, comes
up in the court at Charleroi, Bel-
gium. Janos Rigo, the Tzigaoi
fiddler, makes a good counterfeit of
Svengali. He is swarthy, with
piercing eyes, in which seem to lie a
hypnotic spell, and his nervous, deli-
cate fingers draw tones from his
violin that set more than one
woman's heart a throbbing in Paris.
And his paramour, the princess l
No Trilby in flesh and blood coulij
be more beautiful. The lovely
Clara Ward, who came from De-
troit, Mich., has grown to be the
most charming woman in Europe.
She is as tall as Du Maurier’s hero-
ine, but with form and feature at-
tuned to all the refinements that
came with great wealth. Her com-
plexion is as smooth as a sleeping
infant’s; her golden hair would
yearn to fall from her head upon her
shapely back and shoulders and her
features have the classical beauty
that painters have put into their
canvas Helens of Troy and their
Mme Maintenons.
She heard the dark-skinned mu-
sician playing in a Paris restaran'
and all her soul leaped into s flame
and they eloped. The tune she
heard him play was the “Rakoczy
March,” the national air of Hun-
gary. Its effect is considered by
many the most thrilling of any
national air. The spirit that per-
vades Hungarian music is melan-
choly. The playor leads you on,
and with each succeeding note your
excitement grows, and when he
finishes, he does so in a blaze of
musical glory.
Ti ere is more in this case than a
m«*re rich woman's infatuation for a
poor stroller. It is a revolt against
the practice of marrying off Ameri-
can girls to foreigners. “The
American mother stands condemn-
ed,” wrote Monsieur d’ Argenteuil,
the famous Paris literateur, the
other day. “She is the one to feel
ashamed of this sad display of pas-
sion by a woman who is young
enough to be called a girl. The
Americans will judge this unfortu-
nate young woman more harshly
than would we. Thfey look only at
the overt act of elopement. We
take into consideration the girl’s en-
vironment and the influence in her
nuptials were held in Paris, May
30, 1890. The papal nuncio offici-
ated. Two children have been
born to tbe princely couple, but they
were not able to bridge over the
ever-widening chasm between the
coldness of the parents. Ru nors of
infidelity reached the prince’s ears a
year or so ago, and he threatened to
bring suit for divorce Febiuary 21,
1894. She gave a great dinner and
ball at Paris to celebrate her 21st
birthday. Her startling beauty made
her the idol of the hour, and poets
and artists raved over her.
The elopement took place a month
ago. The couple went to Buda
Pesth, the capital of Hungary,
where the gypsy has been playing in
the music halls at $1000 per month.
Since then stories innumerable have
been told about the princess. One
is that her uncle has stopped her
regular allowance, looping" to bring
her to regular terms,/ while another
is that she paid the gypsy’s legal wile
3000 franca to get out ot the way.
t is said that at the hearing the
princest’ legal advisers will plead
extreme and morbid nervousness,
which rendered her irresponsible for
her actions. That she will fight the
divotce is unlikely.

can girls sold to titles? Is the
Anglo-Saxon blood too pure for
that? Does not her most gracious
Majesty * Victoria bequeath her
daughters while they are children
and then doom them to a married
life without love ? Ia it not only
natural that her imperial example
should be followed by ambitious
mothers in England and America?
The elopement, much as it is de-
plored, cannot be considered
as a protest against the vain
glory of some American mothers
who have been held up to us de-
generate Europeans to be imitated
like a holy example.”
The princess is the daughter cf
the late Captain Ebert D. Ward,
of Detroit, who, at the time of hi
death, was possessed of thousands
of acres of pine lands, the biggest
fleet of ships on the great lakes, and
was beyond doubt the richest man
in Michigan. Clara was born in
1873 and was two years old when
her father died. Shortly after,
Clara’s mother, who was Captain
Ward’s second wife, left Detroit,
spending three years in travel with
Clara in Europe. Then she mar-
ried Alexander Cameron, a Wind
sor, Ontario, lawyer, afterwards a
banker. Ciara lived in Toronto
until she was fourteen, when she
was sent to England to school.
She was a reckless, restless dispo-
sition, and even in school spent her
income of $40,000 a year which
Captain Ward left her. At the age
of 17 she was induced to marry the
prince, who was 30, by the argu-
ments of her mother, who was eager
to secuie a tide in her family. The
girl protested that she did not love
the impecunious crest-wearer, but
her mother’s ambitions were too
strong and she yielded. In order to
pay his debts $100,000 of her for-
tune was settled on him before the
marriage. To the high-strung
American girl this “marriage for
convenience ’ brought no happiness,
She found that she had bought 1
husband, but not the love she was
looking for. Of her husband, she
said the other day with a pathos that
must have gone to the heart of many
other titled American - women:
“Yes, he was a kind n^an, but was
cold, indifferent. I longed to be
with my children, to nurse them, to
sleep with them, to make tbeir
lives a part of mine, but I wax a
princess and could see them only
occasionally. I wanted love, and
when I eloped I simply exchanged
rank for love.
When Rigo wanted to hold a big
concert to show that he was not liv-
ing on her money, she said with a
fine scorn that would make even a
pachydermatous European fortune-
hunter blush; “If a prince could
marry me for my money and live on
it, why should a gypsy be ashamed
to do so?” Again she said: “1
sold myself once for titles; now I
sell my titles for love.”
The wedding of Miss Ward and
the prince was an event of inter-
national importance. The bouse of
Cbimay is descended from the Cara-
mans and dates back to the ancient
house of Arrighetti of Florence,
Italy. Tbe prince owns a beautiful
cfaatau at Hainaut, Belgium. Tbe

interesting and instructive one. The
opening article is “A > New Vear

rom the public, and especially the medi

hiA*kepticism as to iclepathy or thought
transference, and offers $50 cash ‘‘and
much gratuitous advertising,” to any
peison who will successfully perform two
simple feats ot ordinary “mind reading”
under conditions which make fraud tin
possible. This is certain'y a fair and
liberal proposition and Mr. Flower ought
to toon drop his fifty, if the reports of

With a Monster Petition.
A grotesque incident to day was
the arrival of a carload of Texans,
whose ostensible mission was to
present the “claims” of Dr. John
Grant to a Cabinet position. They
brought along a monster petition,
bound in eight volumes, which was
alleged to conta:n the namea of
103,300 republican* who indorse
Dr. Grant for the cabinet There
are not that tjiany post offices to be
filled in Texas.
Major McKinley listened with a
straight face while Dr. Grant’*
“claims” were presented. The
Texans had been to Cleveland to
see Mark Hanna. The expense* of
'fife trip must be heavy. The real
purpose of the delegation was to
establish the right of Dr. John Grant
to dispense the federal patronage in
Texas, liis rigtu is contested by
E. H. Green, son of Hetty Green.

1 saw tbe first girl you ever fell in

member it all? It waa a death
blow—it struck you like a ban.
You went out and loitered around
tbe edges of tbe green pond and
wondered it you would jump in if
sbe would come to tbe bank when
the alarm was given, and cry, and
cavort, and rue her rash act. Well,
1 saw her yesterday. She sat in a
farm wagon smoking n pipe. Sbe
bad her feet on the dash board and
nursed n red-faced baby. She ex-
pectorated once on the sidewalk*
earned into tbe gutter eight spools
of haib wire that had been set out
for* sign. She spat the second
time and the waves Boated away a
grindstone. 1 noticed that in many
ways she was changed ; and it is
only another lesson. Sometimes
when the street .sprinkler is wending
its way homeward and the i e cream
parlor takea on its most inviting
glare, we sit in the twilight and
sigh for the touch of a vanished
hand,” yet when we carelessly run
against that hand in tbe busy marts
of trade and find that hand bolding
a span of sorrel mules that are en-
deavoring to climb a telephone pole
we are forced to tbe conclusion that,
after all, God’s ways are best.—

Tbe Chickasaw delegates to
Washington were here Wednesday
and Thursday. The sentiment of
the delegates was opposed to the
recent treaty entered into between
the Choctaws and Dawes commis-
sion. The Chickasaws, who have
tribal rights in common with the
Choctaws, do not consider that the
treaty is binding on them in any
respect. Tbe delegates think that
the Choctaws could have got much
better terms for the asking of it.
The delegates are evidently willing
to accept the best terms possible for
their nation, as they are well aware
that they cannot much longer avoid
what is inevitable, the opening of
tbe Territory. This delegation,
however, proposes to get every pos-
sible concession from tbe Dawes
commission, and will make a stub-
porn fight for what they conceive to
be tbeir rights under treaty stipulaj
tions.
Tbe Luting Signal says: “We
want it distinctly understood that
the Signal does .not countenance
mob law,” and in the next sentence
exclaims, “The man wbo would
deliberately apply the match to his
neighbor's property should be
banged by Judge Lynch.”

Representative and Senator-elect
Money, of Mississippi, thus diposes
of a sensational story sent from
Washington: “There is not a
word of truth in the story that 1
have the slightest misunderstanding
with Consul-General Lee growing
out of my letters on the Cuban
question. General Lee and I are
the best of f> iends, and there is not
he least panicle of a chance of out
disagreeing. I was much amused
over the newspaper publication that
there was to be a duel between us
as the General will be when he secs
it.” '
There has been a suspicion for
some time that McKinley occupied
very nearly the same attitude to-
wards Cuba that President Cleve-
land does, and- Mr. Sherman has
made that suspicion a certainty by
saying: “1 do not believe thia gov-
ernment should interfere between
Spain and the Cubans. I do not
believe this government should at-
tempt to settle the war or take any
steps putting upon us the burden of
determining the nature of rule in
Cuba in case the Cubans win.” Aa
this language waa used when he was
just from the presence of McKinley,
and after he had accepted the secre-
taryship of state, there isn’t tbe
slightest doubt that it ia an advance
statement of McKinley’s Cuban
policy. ______________

‘HAPPY HOLLOW”
THE SCENE OF A TRAGEDY THURS-
DAY NIGHT.
Harry Tally, the Well-Inown Butcher,
Killed.—Tbe Alleged Amain Cap-
tured,—The Coroner's Verdict
A shooting affair attended with
fatal results, took place Thurs-
day night at the locality east of
tbe H. & T. jC. track known as
“Happy Hollow.” The man killed
waa Henry Tally, a butcher, who
has been a resident of Denison for
tbe past four years. Harry Keyes,
an employe of the cotton seed oil
mill, is in jail charged with tbe
murder of TulJy. The tragedy was
enacted in a cabin occupied by turn
negro women, Mattie Johnsm
Eliza Hudson. They are oou
tough customers and have been fre-
quently arrested for dixtuibing the
peace and on the charge of prosti-
tution. Both of the women at first
disclaimed any knowledge of tbe
particulars surrounding the killing,
but the Johnson woman admitted
that she was in tbe room when the
fatal shot waa fired through the
window which sent Tally to bit
doom. Tbe trae facte attending
tbe tragedy are meager, tbe women
have told so many conflicting stories
of events which lead op to the lull
ing, that no reliance ia to be placed
in any of tbeir state menu. Friday
afternoon the coromcr’a inquest was
held before Justice Pearson. The
only witness examined waa Mattie
Johnson. Keyes was brought over
from Sherman and waa present at
the cororner’s inquest but waa not
called on to testify. The substance
of the Johnson woman’s testimony
waa that Keyes called at her bouse
about 8 p. m., and after some wrang-
ling over money matters left, threat-
ening to return and make trouble
for her should anyone else be found
there. Later on, a man with a cap
pulled over bis eyes pushed a pistol
in at the window and shot Tully.
who bad come in after Keyes left.
Sbe tried to prevent the shooting by
catching bold of the gun, but being
threatened by tbe man let go,
whereupon it was fire
closed the inquest.
It was quite evident that this wit-
ness favored Keyes, and it is not be-
lieved that sbe told -a straight story.
The moon was shining in a cloud-
less sky, and tbe woman moat have
identified tbe assassin.
It seems that Keyes waa tbe ac-
cepted lover of tbe witness and had
contributed to her support. Partien
who arrived at the scene of tbe mur-
der about tbe tame time with tbe
officers, French and Melton, ilk-
form tbe Gazitok that Tolly
was in his night clothes preparing to
go to bed.
Tbe weapon used was a 38-
calibre pistol. The ball entered the
>ight side of Tally, making a
ghastly wound. It was rumored
Friday night that Keyes was in tbe
habit of carrying a 38-calibre pis-
tol, but this is only a rumor, and is
given for what it is worth.
The very manner in which Keyee
was captured, points strongly to bin
guilt. When tbe officers went to
his boarding bouse and rapped,
Keyes endeavored to dip out of tbe
hack door; confronted there, be
made another dash, and was captur-
ed when leaving tbe bouse. Keyes,
while en route to jail, was very
much excited, and gave an incoher-
ent explanation of the trouble with
Tully at tbe negro shanty.
Tully worked off and on for Strait
St Wells, butchers, when the firm
dissolved, Tully in a short time ac-
cepted a position with Wells. He
was recognized as one of the bmt
butchers in the state. He waa
aliout 30 years of sge, and would
pass for a good looking man ia any
crowd. He was single snd happy-
go-lucky, the kind of men wbo
always look on tbe bright side of
life. His besetting sin was drmle.
Keyes, who will probably have to
answer for tbe crime of murder, was
until a few days ago, foreman of
the crush room of tbe Denison Cot-
ton Oil company. He is a young
man, small in sise, swarthy complex-
ion. He came to Denison from
Wolfe City. The Gaiittui for-
got to mention that the verdict of the
coroner’s jury was that Tully came
to his death from a pistol shot
fired by Keyes. He was
without bail.
