TALMAGE'S SER
SUICIDE WAS SUBJECT OF EM
INENT DIVINES SERMON.
Sane Man Who Suicides is Traitor
to God. Infidelity Cause of Self
Slaughter. Enter Eternity
Through God's Command.
This sern.on of Dr. Tainae which
we send c.t today s.'ms startlingly
appropriate to this theme when so nany
are leaving :his life by their ownI hand.
an evil about which all reasonable peo
ple are agreed: text Acts xvi. 2. Do
thvself no harm.
Here is a would be suicide arrested
in his deadly attempt. lie was a sheriff
and. accordingly to the Roman law. a
baliff himself must suffer the punish
ment due an escaped prisoner. and if
the prisoner breaking jail was sent
enced to be endungeoned for three or
four years then the sheriff must be en
dungeoned for three or four years. and
if the prisoner breaking jail was to
have suffered capital punishment then
the sheriff must suffer capital punish
ment. The sheriff had received espc
ial charge to keep a sharp lookout for
Paul and Silas. The government had
not much confidence in bolts nid bars
to keep safe these two clergymen. about
whom there seemed to be somethimg
strange and supernatural. Sure enough.
by miraculous power. they are free. and
the sheriff. waking out of a sound sleep
and supposing these ministers have run
away and knowing that they were to
die for preaching Christ and realizing
that he must therefore die. rather than
go under the executioner's ax on the
morrow and suffer public disgrace re
solves to precipitate his own decease.
But before the sharp, keen. glittering
dagger of the sheriff could strike his
heart one of the unloosened prisoners
arrests the blade by the command. "Do
thyself no harm."
In olden times and where Christian
ity had not interfered with it suicide
was considered honorable and a sign of
courage. Demosthenes poisoned him
self when told that Alexander's embas
sador had demanded the surrender of
the Athenian orators. Isocrates killed
himself rather than surrender to Philip
of Macedon. Cato, rather than submit
to Julius Caesar, took his own life, and
three times after his wounds had been
dressed tore them open and perished.
Mithridates killed himself rather than
submit to Pompey, the conqueror.
Hannibal destroyed his life by poison
from his ring, considering life unbeara
ble. Lycurgus a suicide, Brutus a sui
cide. After the disaster of Moscow Na
poleon always carried with him a prep
aration of poison. and one night his
servant heard the ex-emperor arise, put
something in a glass and drink it. and
soon after the groans aroused all the
attendants, and it was only through ut
most medical skill that he was resusei
tated. Times have changed, and yet
the American conscience needs t'o be
toned up on the subject of suicide.
Have you seen a paper in the last
month that did not announce the pass
age out of life by one's own behest?
Defaulters, alarmed at the idea of ex
posure, quit life precipitately. Men
losing large fortunes go out of the world
because they cannot endure earthly ex
istence. Frustrated affection, domestic
infelicity, dyspeptic impatience, anger,
remorse, envy, jealousy, destitution.
misanthropy; are considered sufficient
causes for absconding from this life by
paris green, by laudanum, by belladon
na, by Othello's dagger, by halter, by
leap from the abutment of a bridge, by
firearms. More cases of felo de se in
the last two years than any two years
of tae world's existence, and more in
thie last month than in any 12 months.
The evil is more and more spreading.
Scotland, the land prolific of intel
lectual giants, had none grander than
Hugh Miller, great for science and
great for God. He was an elder in St.
John's Presbyterian church. He came
of the -best highland blood and was a
descendant of Donald Roy, a man em
inent for piety and the rare gift of sec
ond sight. His attainments, climbing
up as he did from the quarry and the
wall of the stonemason, drew forth the
astonished admiration of Buckland and
Mlurchison, the scientists, and D~r.
Chalmers, the theologian, and held uni
versities spellbound while he told them
the story of what he had seen of God
in "The Old Red Sandstone." That
man did more than any other being
that ever lived to show that the God of
the hills is the God of the Bible, and
he struck his tuning fork on the rocks
of Cromarty until he brought geology
and theology accordant in divine wor
ship. His two books, entitled "Foot
prints of the Creator" and "'The Testi
miony of the Rocks." proclaimed the
banns of an everlasting marriage be
tween genuine science and revelation.
On this latter book he toiled day and
night, through love of nature and love
of God, until he could not sleep and
his brain gave way, and he was found
dead with a revolver by his side, the
cruel instrument having had two bul
lets-one for him and the other for the
gunsmith who at the coroner's inquest
was examining it and fell dead. Have
you any doubt of the beatification of
Hugh Miller alter his hot brain had
ceased throbbing that winter night in
his study at Portobello? Among the
mightiest of earth. among the mightiest
of heaven.
No one doubted the piety of William
Cowper, the author of those three great
hymns,''O For a Closer Walk .With
God," "What Various Hindrances We
Meet," "There is a Fountain Filled
With Blood-Williami Cowper, who
shares with Isaac W\atts and Charles
Wesley the chief honors of Christian
hymnology. In hypochondria lie re
solved to take his own life and rode to
the river Thames. but found a man
seated on some goods at that very noint
from which he expected to spring and
rode back to his home. and that nizhit
threw himself upon his own knife. but
the blade broke, and then he hanged
himself to the ceiling, but the rope
broke. No wonder that when G3od
mercifully delivered him from that
awful dementia he sat down and wrote
that other hymn just as memorable:
God moves in a myesterious way
His wonders to perferm.
He plants his footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.
Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan his work in vain.
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.
While we make this merciful and
righteor- allowance in regard to those
who were. plunged into mienltal incohie

use of his reason. by his own -act. snap

No)tw%*it hstandi ng the Bible is agirai nst
thli evil and the aversion which it cre
ates by the loathsome and ghastly spee
tucle of those who haveohurled them
selves out of life, and notwithstanding,
Christianity is against it and the argu
nents and the useful lives and the il
lustrious deaths of its disciples,. it is a
fact alarmingly patent that suicide is
on the increase. What is the cause?
I charge upon infidelity and and agnos
ticism this whole thing. If there be
no hereafter. or if that hereafter b)e
blissful without reference to how we
live and how we die. why not move back
the folding doors between this world
and the next? And when our existence
here becomes troublesome why not pass
right over into elysium? Put this
down among your most solemn reflec
tions. There has never been a case of
suicide where the operator was not ei
ther demented and therefore irrespon
sible or an infidel. I challenge all the
ages and I challenge the universe.
There never has been a case of self de
struction while in full appreciation of
his immortality and of the fact that
that immortality would be glorious or
wretched according as he accepted
-Jesus Christ or rejected him.
You say it is a business trouble or
you say it is electrical currents or it is
this or it is that or it is the other thing.
Why not go clear back my friend, and
acknowledge that in every case it is the
abdication of reason or the teaching of
infidelity, which practically says. "If
you don't like this life, get out of it.
and you will land either in annihilation.
where there are no notes to pay. no
persecutions to suffer. no gout to tor
ment, or you will land where there will
be everything glorious and nothing to
pay for it." Infidelity has always been
apologetic for self immolation. After
Tom Paine's "Age of Reason" was
published and widely read there was a
marked increase of self slaughter.
Have nothing to do with an infidelity
so cruel, so debasing. Come out of bad
compauy into the company of those who
believe the Bible. Benjamin Franklin
wrote. "Qf-this Jesus of Nazareth 1
have to say that the system of morals
he left and the religion he has given us
are the best things the world has ever
seen or is likely to see." Patrick lHen
ry, the electric champion of liberty.
says. "The book worth all other books
put together is the Bible." Benjamin
Rush, the leading physiologist and an
atomist of his day, the great medical
sientist-what did he say? "The
only true and perfect religion is Chris
tianitv." Isaac Newton, the heading
philesopher of his tinie-what did lie
say? "'The subimiest pihilosopuhy on
earth is the :.hilosophy of the gos
pl." David Brewster, at the pronuni
iation of whose niame every scientist
the world over bows his head-David
Brewster sayivig, "Oh. this religion
has been a great light to me. a very
great light all my days." President

so when they find him dead they find
him on his knees.
Salmon P. Chase. chief justice of the
supreme court of the United States, ap
pointed by President Lincoln. will take
the witness stand. "Chief Justice
Chase. please to state what you have
to say about the book conmnonly called
the Bible." The witness replies:
"There caine a time in my life when I
doubted the divinity of the Scriptures.
and I resolved as a lawyer and judge I
would try the book as I would try any
thing in the courtroom. taking evidence
for and against. It was a long and seri
ous and profound study. and. using the
same priinciples of evidence in this reli
gious matter as I always do in secular
matter 1 have come to the decision that
the Bible is a supernatural book. that
it has conic from God, and that the only
safety for the human race is to follow
its teaching." "Judge. that will do.
Go back again to your pillow of dust on
te banks of the Ohio." Next 1 put
upon the witness stand a president of
the United States--John Quiney
Adams. ''President Adams. what hiave
you to say about the Bible and Chris
tianity?" The president replies: "I
have for maniy years miade it a practice
to read through the Bible onice a year.
My custom is to read four or five chap
ters every nmorniing immediately alter
rising from my bed. It employs about
an hour of my time and seems to mie the

the average rainfall for the week was
3.40 inehes: and the normal for the

An apparently general cold rain set
in early today (July 12) with teipera
tures genIerally below 60 degrees and a
fresh to brisk northeast wind.
SUNSilINE AND HAIL.
Cloudiness prevailed during the
greater portion of the week. the esti
mated percentage of bright sunshine
for the State was 46 per cent. of the
possible. and over the central and
western counties was generally much
lower.
There was a light hail storm in York
county on July 9. but crops were not
injured.
AbundaIt moisture and generally
favorable temnperature cautsed marked
disprovemnit in the conditions of all
growuig cropls. In places there was
tlO much rain, particularly on sandy
soils, and heavy rains datmaged crops
and washed terraced lanids in the hilly
portions of the State. A few corres
pondents report damage to crops on
bottom lands which were overflowed.
while over the greater portion of the
State the grround has been too wet to
cultivate since Tuesday, and fields are
becoming grassy. However. the injury
to crops caused by the recent rains, is
not as yet serious. and. a few days of
drying weather will afford opportunity
enouigh to clean fields of corn and
cittoii. and compilete laying by, which'l
has been delayed.- while the good ef

'. w:ts with Secretary Alger dur ig
tle afternoon and gave iiiii sonic in
teresting details as to the Character of
the country now surrendered to our
troo ps. lie said the country was so
wild and rocky that it afforded practi
cally no caiping &rouind for a consider
:abfle body of troops and in his opinion
there was not a point inl this sweep of
country suitable as a base of operations
for an army.
Except the Spanish force at Santia
go numiibering about 10.0110. Mr. Allen
says there are no Spanish troops within
the surrendered zone. as it has been
overrun by Garcia's forces. The Span
ish garrisons are at Manzanillo and Ilol
iruin. to the west of the surrendered
zone. Mr. Allen says these Spanish
garrisons do not exceed 6.000 men.
This. lie says. is Gen. Garcia's estimate.
Mr. Allen left Santiago only last Sat
urday. At that time he says there
were two suspicious cases. thought to
be yellow fever, in the hospital at Sib
oney.
VALUABLE GARRISON POINTS.
The navy department had not heard
up to the close of office hours to what
extent the American fleet was participa
ting in the Spanish surrender. With
Santiago in our hands the way will be
clear for Admiral Sampson's fleet to
enter the harbor and proceed up to the
wharves; as soon as the torpedoes and
mines at the harbor entrance are re
moved. The fortifications of Morro
castle, Socapa. Cayo Smith and others
are included in the surrendered zone.
The possession of these fine fortresses,
particularly Morro castle, will afford
valuable garrison points for a large
number of men. The terms under
which these strongholds are surrendered
are not yet known in detail. but it is re
arded as likely that their big guns pass
with the surrender. While the fleet
will soon be free to move up to Santia
iro city, some doubt is entertained in
naval cireles whether any good could be
accotmplished by such a move, as it
might subject some of our sailors to the
contagion exsigwti the city.
.SPLENDID FIGHTING MtEN.
A Foreigner's Glowing Tribute to the
United States Army.
3Major de Grandprey. miilitary attache
of the French embatssy. has just returned
froni the American headq uarters near'
Santiago. where lie has been observing
for his government the progress of mili
try operations. le p'aid a glowing
tribute to thle fighting ability of our
sold iers.
''1 have thle miost comilplete admiira
tioni for your men," said Major de
Grandprey to an Associated Press re
porter today. "They are a superb
body, individually and as an army.
and I sttppose not through tile world
is there stich a splenidid lot of fighting
menci. lt is the fighting chiarae
teristie of nien which is miost ap

impllettuous army, for every umit contri
butes in thleir' resistible onward move
mnlt. The Spanish troops do not have
this same chiaracteristie. They are
more passive, miore cautious. Beside
the impetuosity of such fighting malte
rial. it has the effect of inspiring a
moral anmong the troops, making them
feel that success is assured, anld at the
same time carrying disorder and depres
sion to tihe ranks of the enemy.
MIajor de Grandprey says the fight
ing about Santiago is something en
tirely different fronm the warfare of
European atnd other armies of modern
times. The dense vegetation and
tangle of tropical viine makes it im
possible to observe the usuial miilitary
formations. As a result, there is lit
tle or iio effort tn light in solid fornma
tion. Every man is fighting for him
selfe pushing forward through the
shrubbery, vines and tall grass. It is
impossible to see the enenmy.
MIajor (de Grandprey also speaks
highly of the efficiency with which the
Aericani troops and supplies were
started on their expedition and de
barked in Cubai. This has comie int for
considerable criticism in this counm

THE uNITORIM COTTON BALE.
A Circular Letter From a Leadiig Au
gusta Cotton Man.
The following cirenl:i letter df muc
interest to coittol grziowers and tlmi
who handle it. has just been issued by
J. 11. Sloan of Augusta. Ga.
Dear Sir: We take the liberty of call
in, your at tention to the imnpo rtanne of
exerting-, all yIr efborts in favor f t lie
adoption "f tie standard Sizt cotton
bale. which is a iale male in a press
box mneasurin-zon thn inside 241 inhs
wive lV . inches loingl an ep enouih
to naike a ball! eghn abliut --un
pwdlld.
Thme euttintl n11141 byh tie ranis
portatioin cm nis ndthe( forign1D
mill ', abl'out the ditliculties of stowinig
diterent size bales. and tle dandiazn'
colndlitiont inl wlivhic the Amtierivan cot
to IS received. are .so ineou that
We 11e sure a ,veat d iscriina tat in will

unless there is at ciaiinge made and al
universal size bale ad1ptd and enl
forced.
After a number of experiments with
bales of all the different sizes it was
found that the best results could be had
from those made in press-boxes 24 in
ches wide by 54 inches longn and this
size has been a1topted is ti standard
by all tlie western and gulr St ates: also
ly the convention in Atlanta. 6a.. last
May.
This size (24x54) was found to pre s
to a *reater density. and. when pressed
at tlie compress. the baging usual lv
placed .n a bale of notton would then
cover the hale completely and prevent
any daniage.
It is well understood that the more
cotton that can be stowed in a steaner
the less the freight, and consequently.
the more the cotton -rower will receive
for his crop. It naturally seems that a
few inches in the size of bales would
make no difference. but a few inches
running irregularly through art ocean
steamer amounts to a great loss of space
and in stowing bales of irregular sizes.
they are so screwed in odd shaped spaces
as to often break. and nearly always
are torn and twisted out of shape by
the time they reach the foreign ports.
The lost spaces also form air passages.
and in case of a fire the damage is much
greater, consequently the insurance is
higher than it should be. The same
complaints are made by the railroads.
and by the mills when they put their
cotton in werehouses.
We think we have fully explained
the reasons for this change, and that it
is to your interest to do all that is in
your power to have every one make this
change by next season. As a general
rule. the press-boxes will have to be
made smaller, either one way or both.
This van be done with very little ex
pense by lining the inside with boards.
one lining on another where the size is
to to be reduced several inches. Then
the follow block can be sawn off to fit
the box. The cost of 'niaking this
change in most cases will not exceed
$5.o. This amount is too small to
spare. and thereby continue to suffer
loss caused by discriminations in the
past, as well as additional ones that
will surely follow.
The European mills use about three
fourths of our cotton crop. and of course
they have a great deal to do with the
price of cotton. therefore it is to our
interest to see that it is shipped in the
condition they want it, aiid by reducing
the damage anid the cost of transporta
tion, the grower will get that much more
for his cotton.
We heve received letters from a ma
jority of the ginners in our territory,
arid they promise to alter. their press
boxes to the stanidard size. We respteet
fully solicit the co-operationi of all
growers and those interested in the cot
ton erop1, to urge thte ginners the impor
ace of making all bales of the standard
size. as the success of thlis movement
and the benefits to lie derived from it
depend upitn them. We are confideint
that a large majority of 'he gininers will
mtake ,thlis ebange. but it is ntecessary
that the chiange be as near universal as
nossible.
We are anxious to hiear from those
that are interested in this miovemient.
and esptecially those that have made

Preserving Okra for Winter.
The surplus of each day's gathering
should be stored for winter use. Noth
ing contributes more to a soup in win
ter than okra, and thcre is no reason
why every family in the South. possess
ed of a garden may riot have not only a
supply forseasoning soup. but enough
to cook in the usual way. For use in
soups in winter, cut the green pods in
' to 1 inch lengths and dry in the stin.
After it has been thoroughly dried in
this way. expose it in a stove-pan to
sufficient heat to destroy the eggs of in
seets that may have been deposited
upon it while exposed. While stiil
hot, pack in ordinary fruit jairs and
store for winter. Another very sin:
ple niethod of preserving it is to place in
brine with the green cteuibers intend
ed for pickle. If put in the same bar
rel with the cucumbers. no water need
be added as the cucumbers will make
enough brine without the addition of
water. If. however. the okra is stored
in a vessel to itself. it will be necessz:ry
to make a strong brine to cover it. To
use the dried okra. soak a day to re
store the water evaporated while (Iry
in. That fronm the brine must be
soaked long enough to freshen it. Pre
served in this way. okra may be prel a:
ed for the table either by boiling an I
eating with butter, or by boiling and
then rolling in meal and frying like
s:niall fish. or after being boiled thor
oughly it may be cut and mashed atnd
fried in cakes in a batter made of eggs
and bread crumbs. This is strictly a
Southern vegetable. thatn which noneW is
more wholesomne and few are better
whien this is piroperly prepiaredl as
"'OkratGumboi." ''Okra D~aub."' or even
boiled anid seasoned properly.

Was It Sampson or Schley ?
--There seems to be a determined
effort on~ the part of the war and navy
departments to put Sampson forward
and overshadow Commodore Schley,
but the facts show that Admiral Samp
soni was miles down the coast, just
aning inl his launch for a conference
with Gzeneral Shaf'ter wheni the cannonl
ading was heard between the Spanish
leet and our ownl under direction of
Comnodore Schley, onl the flagship
B~rooklyni. which was ill the thick of'
the fight throughout. and whose strate
gy prevented the escape of tile Cristo
intl Colon. It was Commnodore Schley
whose dash and daring compassed the
an nihilation ot the Spanishu fleet, and
Admiral Sampson was not in it. says
the Augusta Chronicle. "It is not our
