Patriotism flows in Tennessee in mighty

rivers, and so the pisiple of tlie State decided to celebrate its centennial with an exposition that would fittingly commemorate the historic event. The idea of so celebrating the State’s passing century mark was born in the brain of a nrwspaper man several yearn ago, mid through rlic efforts of the Xnshvillo impers the first mass meeting to formulate plans was called. This took place June ».», 1894, in the capito! at Nashville, ami from that time to the present day the enthusiasm , of the people has been unabated. The tinam-ial condition of the State ren--1 dered the work during the first year of the project an up-hill task. Davidson i W Wi'v- ^ »• ■ A Wfi / ' *■ * WH i M»S VVM UH h I ) tK MAX.

The argument is a* valid to-day as it was in Paul's time. It is a reduction to the absurd of the pretensions of unbelieving interpreters of scripture. How cogently Paul draws the though’* of his hearers from the privileges of tJieir nation to their own duty and opportunity. He was never guilty of the mistake of some preachers in making their sermons so general that nobody in parti.-nlar feels himself addressed. 'The law of Moses could acquit or justify no one who failed to obey it perfectly; that is a fact inherent in the very nature of a moral law. But through Christ men may be acquitted of the sins charged against them and enabled to begin again with a fresh record. Teachinc H i n t s.

Lot it be remembered that the time was the middle of summer, ami Antioch was something of a summer resort, so there were many strangers present. The eustom of .'ailing on sm-h to address the congregation if they desired will be recalled. The sermon itself is emphatically biblical, am! shows us how Paul treated th.' Old Test;;i...'nt.

A DANGER TO HEALTH. The Cellar Is a Leading: Source and It Must Be Sanitary. With tho Increased knowledge of sanitary laws brought about bj’ the close and systematic study given to the subject in recent years It has come to be generally recognized that one of the leading sources of danger to health in the home is the cellar. The cellar is the very last part of tin' house to be seen, and it seems easy to cut out of the plan a window or Iwo, in this place, or take off a foot from the height of the celling. But this is not the part of true wisdom. It is bettor to try tho economy in fitments and furnishing; above, or leaving some of the upper W1J 1 ’ I*"?' 1 I’ERSPK. 11 V E V I EW. rooms that uro not Imperatively needed entirely unfinished. These can readily be completed in after years without Impairing the plan of th.' house. In a general way, however, the cellar must remain as originally constructed, and for this reason Its main features must be above reproach. It must be light and dry, thoroughly ventilated, and of suflh ieut height The celling should never be loss than seven feet, and nine Is far better. A damp cellar Is a nuisance, as well as a great source of disease, and every piis aution should be taken to guard against this fault. Brick Is porous in It* nature, but if it must be Used, the walls should be eoatovl with tar on the outside, with stone walls cement could be mixed with tho mortar in order that moisture may not soak thnmgh the Interstices of the stone.

Albert G. Porter Dead. Albert G. Porter, ex-Governor of Indiana and minister to Italy under Gen. Harrison’s administration, died at his home in Indianapolis shortly after 3 o'clock Monday morning. He had been confined to his room almost constantly for two years. The immediate cause of his death was paresis. Albert G. Porter was a native Indianian. having been born at Lawrenceburg April 2D, 1.824. ’Twelve years later his father moved to Kentucky and purchased a ferry opposite Lawreneeburg. doling Porter was placed in charge <>t tho ferry and given a percentage of tho receipts. In two years he had saved enough money to carry out his wish of attending college, and lu> entered Hanover. Later, through the generosity of an uncle, he was enabled to complete bis education at Asbury (now De Pauw; University. After graduation hi' entreed upon the study of law, but was forced to abandon i< for awhile owing to failing health. In the interim he acted as private secretary for Gov. Whitcomb, but soon returned to his profession at Lawrenceburg. In 1853 he was appointed reporter of the Supreme Court by Gov. Wright to fill a vacancy, mid two years later was elected to the satin' position by the Democrats. At the birth of the Republican party in 185 G ho cast his fortunes with that organization. mid was nominated for Congress in ISSS. 'Two years before the district had given a Democratic majority of 8(M), but lie earritd it by 1 J"”’ plurality. Two years later he was elected for another term, but after this service declined renomination. Retiring front Congress he resumed the practice of law in Indianapolis, mid for several years was a member of the firm of Harrison, Porter A- Fishback, Gen. Harrison being the senior member. Soon after the election of Mr. Hayes as President Secretary Sherman called Mr. Porter to ;he position of first Comptroller of the Treasury, which lie held until nominnted by the Republicans for Governor iu ISSO. He carried the State by a larger phtralit) than President Garfield received. Retiring from the office in 1884, hi* devoted himself to writing a history of Indiana, but in 1SS!l laid aside this work to accept tlie Italian mission, remaining abroad four years. I'pon his return to I ndimi ipolis hi' restttned his labor on his his'.ory, but his health was so shattered that he made but littlu progress with it, and it is now unfinished. All Over the State. T he State Live Stock Commissioner has been investigating a peculiar disease which lias been killing hundreds of sheep near Lagrange. The disease was found to bo parasites of the stomach, probably brought to tiiis country by imported sheep. The disease has done some thousands of dollars of damage, and there seems to be ; no remedy. Judge Baker of the Federal court at Inilimiapolis gave judgment against Harry •'raw ford of Chicago, president of the Chicago mid Southeastern Railway, on a elmm dating back to I**4. originally held by Solomon ('.

Two city hall bonds of the city of Vincennes. which were stolen from Joseph Schmidt, cigar manufacturer. Dec. 14, IS*.*, were presented Saturday to the city treasurer for collection. The bonds are for SSOO each and were due May 2. 1597. They were sent from Pittsburg. I’a„ by the Pittsburg Trust Company for collection through the First National Bank of \ iiicennes. The chief of police promptly seized the bonds as stolen goods. An investigation will follow. Mr. mid Mrs. John Campbell of Kimmell spent their honeymoon in the Ligonier jaii. Soon after the marriage of the couple, -who are prominently connected, the houses of resorters at Bear Lake were Tcoken into, mid suspicion falling on the newly wedded couple their house was searched, with the result it was found to be luxuriantly furnished with furniture stolen from the houses at Bear Lake, even to the carpets which covered the tloor. the plunder aggregating in value nearly SI.DOO. Both bride and groom have been held for trial under heavy bonds. John IL Holliday, president of the Union Trust ('ompany of Indianapolis, and others, have applied for an injunction direct(*l against the Governor, State Tax Commissioners and county and township officers charged with enforcing the tax law. to prevent them from carrying out an orilcr of the cinnin’ssioners, directing the asscssnii'ii t o,’ p.iiil-mi life insurmiee' policies am! policies having a surrender value. Among the reasons alleged is that it conflicts with the State constitution, in that no person shall be doubly taxed, and with the Federal restriction that no State shall pass a law in violation of the obligation of contracts.
