The Pace That ‘Kills. 7
The Rev. Dr. Paxton’s case, says the
New York Advertiser, has becOm‘evquite
interesting to the community and'has
in 1't a lesson for that large class which
devotes itself to sedentary and mental
application as professional men.
Dr. Paxton as a youth was a gallant ~ ,- .
~ Dancer, to-mght.
soldier in the Union Army. His‘record
is a good one. He was engaged in many
battles, in all of which he was conspic- E
uous for gallantry and the display 'Of
heroic qualities, which won him rank *
and reputation. In other respects he
was a good soldier.
of the hardships and exposures of
march, camp and bivouac, when the
strength of his system was sapped in.
sidiously but no less certainly than if
he had been“shot to pieces,"he showed
the same heroic qualities that charac-
terized him in time of battle.
At the close of the war he prepared
himself for the ministry. He spenfihis
seven years in arduous study and then
than twenty years he has been known
as a remarkably industrious as well as
successful clergyman. As time went
on and his ability grew and manifested
itself, his field widened and year by
year more was required of him.
Dr. Paxton is a born leader and a
man of most intense nature. He does
his work with an abSOrbing enthusiasm
which burns up the oil with fearful
prodigality. He spent himself on every
sermon or address with‘that abandon of
devotion that a sincere man always _
.ing the horse railway tracks of snow.
gives his task. And this for more than
twenty years. And as time went on his
army hardships began to count. till at
last the two broke him down. or threat.
ened so serionsly to do Bethe-the wisely
called a halt." Let us hope that he has
stopped in time. ' _
The lesson for professional men is ob-
vious. They must take life easier. It
is better to be content with a smaller
success thanto break down at that age
when a man ought to be at his best, with ._
years of good work ahead of him.
Liquor in South Carolina.
Gov. Tillman’s message to the South
Carolina Legislature deals at some
length and in very breezy style with
the operation and the efi‘cct of the dis-
pensary law which has now been in
force since the 1st of July last. Speak-
ing Of the underlying purpose of the
law, the Governor, after explaining
that the net profit to the State for the
first four months, July, August, Sep-
tember and October, amounts to the
sum of $32,198.16, goes‘on to say :
“But, notwithstanding this revenue
is not to be despisedfithelaw does not
rest on a revenue basis, was not enact-
ed for that purpOse, and cannot be. de-
fended on that ground. It rests wholly
on its claim to. being the best method
of controlling the evils whichare in-
herent and inseparable from the intem-
perate use of liquors. and must stand
or fall On its ments as compared with
other methods of controlling the evil.”
Further along he gives an interesting
summary of the moral considerations
involved, and the advantage to society
that are realized by the practical opera-
tion of the law. He classifies thus :
“let. The element of personal profit
is destroyed, thereby removing the in-
centive to increase the sales.
“2d. A pure article is guaranteed,
as it is subject to chemical analysis.
“3d. The consumer obtains honest
measure of standard strength.
“4th. Treating 'is stopped, as the
bottles are not opened on the premises.
"5th It is sold only in the day time;
this under a regulation of the board
and not under the law. . .
“6th. The concomitants of ice, sugar,
lemons, etc., being removed, there is
not the same inclination to drink re-
maining, and the closing of the saloons,
especially at night, and the prohibition
of its sale by the drink, destroy the
ehticements and seductions which have
caused so many men and boys to be led
astray and enter on the downward
course. .
“7th. It is sold only for cash, and.
there is no longer ‘chalking 'up’ for
daily drinks against pay day. The.
workingman buys his bottle of whiskey
Saturday night and carriesthe rest of
his wages home. >-
“8th. Gambling dens, pool rooms,
and lewd houses, which have hitherto
been run almost invariably in connec-
tion with the saloons, which were thus

necessarily follow a decrease of Crime.
“9th. The local whisky rings, which
have been the curse 'of every munici-

Hon. D. M. Read Dead.
Hon. D. M. Read. ex-senator for the
14th district,and one of the best known
and most popular public men in the
state, died at his residence in Bridge-
port Tuesday afternoon of a blood clot
on the brain. He had been ill for the
pas.. three weeks and for the past two
days had been in an unconscious con-
dition. '
The deceased was born in Hoosic
Falls, N. Y., October 12, 1832. He
married Helen Augusta, daughter of
Philo F. Barnum, in 1855. Three child-
ren, all of whom survive, have been
the fruit of this union. They are David
E, Charles A. and Miss May Read.
Mr. Read and the late W. B. Hall,
then clerks for E. Birdseye & 00.,
formed a dry goods copartnership in
1857 and continued until 1878 when the
firm was dissolved, Mr. Read retaining
the old stand. He was chosen a rep-
resentative from . Bridgeport to the _
Legislature of 1881, and senator to the
Legislature of 1889, and again in91891.
He was president pro tem of the
Senate in the latter year—the famous
deadlock session—and performed with
singular ability the. difficult duties
which devolved upon him. He was
several times elected to the. Common
council and for 15 years was the presi-
dent of the board of-Trade. He was
the president of the D. M. Read 00.,
treasurer and selling agent of the Read
Carpet Co., vice-president of one of
the Bridgeport savings banks and di-
rector in one of the national banks.
In the Centennial year Gov. Inger-
soll appomted him acting commissary
general of the C.'N. G. In the Gen-
eral assembly he was:one of the most

upon him had much to do with his
fatal illness. ' '~- ‘

An important meeting of the local K.
of C. councils will be held next week in
New Haven and at which will be issuud
a call to all the councils of the order in
this state asking them to send delegates
to a convention, the object of which is
to take summary action against the su
preme officers of the order for increas-
ing their salaries and perpetuating
themselves in oflice.
The convention which will be held in
New Haven will,according to opponents
of the supreme officers, prove the death
knell of this order which has been
known as the strongest Catholic order
in the state. SeVeral councils,it is said,
will withdraw altogether from the or-
der and merge into the Catholic legion.
Should the convention proposed fail to
accomplish the desired effect in regard
to the supreme officers it is considered
probable that the matter will be
brought to the courts and injunction
asked to restrain the supreme ofiicers
from serving any longer. ‘

beautiful to contemplate. We are also
shown many phases of human charac-

As the supposed daughter of the gypsy
king, Ninah passes through especially
trying circumstances but emerges with
flying colors and subdues her enemies,

AResolution Calling for Information
Goes Over Without Action —The‘
Bankruptcy Bill Occupies the At-
tention of the Hausa.
WasanTON, Dec. 6. —The senate’s
briel sessiOn of two hours yesterday was
consumed by a speech from Mr. Dolph,
(rep. Oregon), adverse to the administra-r
tion policy on the subject of the Hawaiian
islands. He intimated that that policy
was the result of a desire on the part of
the present administration to do dis-
credit to the action and policy of its pre-
decessor and expressed the desire that Mr.
Cleveland had beena little more explicit
as to how he proposed to undo the alleged
wrong and to restore the former status.
He assumed, however, that something
more than moral suasion was to be used,
and he declared that no greater crime
against Civilization could be committed
than the restoration of a dissipated, cor-
rupt queen.
Even foreign governments, he said,
would be justified in interfering to pre-
vent such an act and to preserve the cit-1
existing government of the islands. He
indorsed the declaraton of Mr. John A.
Kasson, made in a newspaper interview,
that the use of force_to overthrow the
present government of the islands would .-
be worse than piracy and would resemble
assassination.
A resolution calling on the president
for copies of instructions given to United
States ministers and naval officers on the
subject of Hawaii since 1881, was offered
by Mr. Hoar (rep., Mass.) and went over
without action, Mr. Sherman (rep, Ohio)
suggesting that it should not be acted 'on
in the absence of the chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, Mr. Mor-,
gan (dem., Ala).
House of Representatives.
Consideration of the bankruptcy bill
was resumed in the house, an agreement
being made'by which general debate was
to be limited to six and one-half hours,
those opposing the bill to use {our and

BURYING THE GOLD.
flow a Woman Saved Her Money from For
sible and Probable Thieves.
In that far-away day before the war,
when peace and plenty reigned, noth-
ing delighted the heart of my mother
more than the thoughts of having her
flower beds enriched. For this pur-
pose each luckless fowl that fell in the
barnyard soon found decent burial at
the roots of the trees near the front
door. ‘Dan, “the carriage boy,” was
my mother's right-hand man in this
work. My father was not so fond of
plants, but as Uncle Remus would-say,
“was a. powerful hand to prodject‘vvild
bees.” While trying an experiment
one night. he closed one of the hives,
so that the swarm could not pass out on
=the morrow. He fully intended setting
them free in a few hours, but sad and
unexpected news from the field came ._
just then, the bees were forgotten, and
of course died. .. ,
We lived in a. valley almost sur-
rounded by mountains, and these
heights were infested by what were
‘then called “mountain boomers.” From
the caves and dens above us these men
came every night to plunder the sur-
rounding country. At that time our
little village hadnot been molested,
but it was nightly threatened, and all
who could form plans of. escape were
preparing to find refuge in a safer part
of the country. What to do with the
money we had on our hands until we
could nee further south was an intri-
cate question. Spies were in every di~
rection. The very woods seemed full
of eyes, and those who buried their
treasures had no assurance of ever
finding them again. . . .
One day while looking after the
flowers my mother found the dead bees,
and a bright idea. struck her. Calling
loudly for Dan she bade him dig a deep
hole near a favorite rose bush in the
front yard and repeated again and
again, “there was nothing like dead
bees to enrich the soil.” We lived in
the most public street in the village, it
was near noon-tide hour, people. both ‘
friends and foes, were passing to and
fro, and the “home darkies” were com-
ing and going as usual. .
Dan went to work, hoe in hand, with
a hearty good will, and. my mother
Went into the house apparently to dine.
After a. while she appeared with .a.
light shawl thrown carelessly around
her shoulders. Concealed beneath this
garment was the gold with which We
hoped to’purchase food and shelter for
black and white in a. safer part of the.
If it could only be buried
without detection. My mother went
to the rose bush and found the work
exactly as she expected, but as so much
depended on strategy she began to up- '
braid the boyifor going to such a. depth.
With her own hands she began to push
back the dirt, while Dan, greatly
abashed at his want of understanding,
moved off at a. rapid rate for the hive
of dead bees. On his return he saw
nothing unusual in the surroundings,
but beneath the light pile of
dirt that my mother had thrown
back the money had been quickly
deposited. The bees were pressed
in, and Dan, all unconscious of
the important work he had just per-
formed, was soon resting in the shade,
wondering to himself “what white
folks always wanted to be pestering
with flowers fur, anyhow." When the
time came for unearthing our treasure .
we fOund it ready to aid in our flight.
