commissioner to which he afterwards appointed 8 H oberly of illinois he offered him the position of loter later state commissioner to which he be afterwards appointed col W B R morrison Morr lson of illinois he tendered him the position of solicitor general of the united states to which he be afterwards appointed G A jenks jenka of Pennsyl pennsylvania vaia he also offered him a position the commission that investigated vesti gated the pacific railroads all these positions be declined it would be hard bard to find a man whom office had bad bunted more industriously than judge fuller faller it would thus seem that badge fuller was not toy by any means an office seeker I 1 and as the evidence in support of this fact accumulates and becomes familiar to the country confidence dence in him increases and the expectancy grows stronger that his bis career upon the supreme bench will be characterized by purity parity and I 1 intelligence r LECTURE AT FORT DOUGLAS an eloquent discourse by chaplain hammond editor deseret news it Is very seldom that anything unusual occurs to break the monotony of soldier life at the post but sunday evening last was an exception the boys were treated to an instructive and interesting lecture on the subject 0 of f where nowhere the he money goes by B C hammond the post chaplain of course the greater number of us had an idea already of where our oar money goes but we rightly conjectured that thas the rev reverend tread gentleman would not only tell QS io that but would perhaps suggest a means of damming the flow or better still skill changing the course of the current and so have the stream run in into a a reservoir eser voIr where re it would be kept a tie safe mo against the ti time nia of need all our most a sanguine girie expectations were more then than realized leali zed the reverend lecturer is besides being a pious ch chaplain olain every such i a soldier although lift has only oaly been here a few months he be seems to have gained the respect and admiration of even the long tough test ot of us and that is saying a good deal I 1 for as a rule holy joes to use a an army phrase are not generally esteemed very highly in camp long before the hour announced for the commencement 0 the lecture BRAT in the th beautiful beau ital I 1 little chapel was liter ally pac kedith blue jackets lack ets the oflaters and landladies dadles an ladies very prudently and very consid considerately brately stayed away prudently to avoid the crush and inconvenience to which they must have been exposed and considerately in order to allow those most in need of the lecture to get ot the lull benefit of it we the unto union of churches or creeds which has blen been agitated for some time past by eminent divines was realized here gast ore last night on a small scale male tor for the congregation represented almost every form of faith in christendom and im sure the walls wall of the chapel never re echoed a louder song of of praise than was led lut last night by mr white head company B mr whitehead is a citi zeia of Spring springville ville this territory and was accustomed to lead the singing there before his bis enlistment toe the lecture was a po powerful werf til array of statistics dating back for about twenty years and coming up to the present time these theae statistics although proving conclusively that in the war with bacchus the god of wine our god was losin losing ngat along and no wonder for acceus bacchus nad had more priests more temples and infinitely more soldiers than the god of love and ana mercy were nevertheless rather dry and so mr hammond with his u usual sual foresight bad provided beautiful and interesting little epigrams with which he be sprinkled his bis subject from time to time as occasion required at the beginning of his lecture the reverend gentleman made an effort to prove that strikes and labor unions were the cause of diverting large sums of money into wrong channels but as this part of his bis subject did not seem to take he wisely skipped it and jammed on the anarchists with both feet he quoted from the new york world which abich had bad an article on the TO BLOW UP the chica chicago 90 waterworks water works by the anarchists archis ts after the execution of their misguided brethren in tuat city we dont wonder at the tha recent attempt to blow up the waterworks water works for it if there is 19 anything in the world the anarchists detest more than knotner it is wate by the time the les lecturer got to this part of his subject he became very earnest and being inspired by the unexpected attention paid to him by the soldiers be made an eloquent appeal for all who heard him that night and who believed with chiq ann n that liquor was the chief cause of all the evils he be pointed out to touch not taste tase not gandle handle not the accursed thing there was a time in this country when to use a familiar phrase said the lecturer cotton was king I 1 later corn was king but today alcohol is king and oh what a ruthless tyrant he be is t how tie hs grinds his subjects in the lust dust how bow he be impoverishes all those over whom be has dominion it is a fact of which we should be ashamed that in this great country of OUTS ours for every dollar spent for the necessaries es of 0 life two are given to alcohol this is where the money boes A poor degraded subject of alcohol was tippling one day as was his wont in a rather flashy tavern when a beautiful carriage and pair were driven daiv en close up to the door what is this said the tippler this said the proprietor ls Is my new team they are beautiful ray my wife and daughter could not do without them the whole rig only cost I 1 I 1 THE TIPPLER meditated a moment and then exclaimed 1 I see it I 1 see it I 1 see it if gee bew what hat in heavens name I 1 asked the publican ab ican see where my hard earnings in 9 s have been going for years see that while I 1 ref refuse ase my own owa wife and faral family shoes for their feet I 1 have been brov providing a carria carriage ge tor for yours see that I 1 have been a dupe and a slave long enough I 1 and so saying he be took his departure from the scene of his bis folly and never again touched a drop ot of liquor but was an exemplary husband and father living so as to make amends for the past which had bad been worse than wasted the lecture occupied an hour and al B halt half and the boys all say they could have stood it another hour and they felt like carrying the preacher on their shoulders to his bis quarters as a mark of their appreciation A SOLDIER |
