TO HELP THE FALL Pretty Daisy Spencer to Become An Eyangelist. Springfield Democrat . A young girl cast by fate,it would seem, upon the world and thorough- ly initiated in the ways of sin, now struggling to blot out the memory of her youthful indiscretion and henceforth live the life of a pure woman, and striving to lift up her fallen sisters, is something that rare ly occurs. such however is the case with pretty Daisy Spencer. The Spercer girl attained much notoriety m this city about the first of the year by reason of the tragic end of her sister Minnie, who died by her own hands beneath a clump of evergreen shrubbery in Maple Park cemetry in this city. At the same time another sister in San Fran- cisco quit the world by her own choice. The three sisters, the dead and the living had each trod the dreary paths of sin. Minnie had lived in this city for several months and was a character of the town, yet so young and girlish. The surviving sister, Daisy, has called Sedalia her home for some time. In response to the intelligence of her sister’s de- mise, last January, Daisy came to this city and was a mourner while the remains of her dead sister were undergoing the necessary legal in vestigation. Hr grief was sincere and unostentatious. Her tears were not for the dead alone. There was a troubled con- science there, and when the way- ward young girl left the city in charge of the corpse which was taken to the family cemetery in Ft. Scott for burial, she expressed a de- termination to reform. A benevo- ient person who had known the Spencer girls in the days of their childish innocence was touched with her resolution and offered to help her consummate her declaration. The offer was accepted and last week Daisy Spencer left Sedalia and entered an eastern seminary of high grade where her education will be completed. She has decided to de- vote the remainder of her life to missionary work and when her term in school is ended she will go about as an evangelist, seeking to turn fallen women back into the paths of virtue. A Town Wiped Ont. Meridian, Miss, March 22.—The town of Purviss on the New Orleans Northeastern Railroad 100 south of Meridian, was destroyed by incendiaries last night. Shortly after midnight the torch was applied ‘to five different building in different portions of the town, and within two hours almost every store and dwell- ing house in the plaee was wiped out The peopleran panic stricken into the streets and the greatest excite- ment prevailed. The conflagration was the result of a bitter feeling between the white people aud the negroes, growing out of the arrest of a negro preacher, and the negroes fired the town in re venge. A posse left Meridian for Purviss late this afternoon. The question ofsecession was set- tled by the war, and there is now no danger of the destruction of the union by disintegration. The real danger now is from centralization.

The work to be ac- json who shall {complished will reyuire courage, the instinct for discrimination between |genuine ‘and spurious claims, and the power to withstand great and constant pressure. Itis the wish of |Mr. Cleveland to find whom these qualities are united be fore filling an office which is not second in gift. In its treatment of the pension 2 man in importance to any in bis ment is simply to divide the wheat from thetares. The aim is reform, and not revolution. The object is to weed out the various abuses which grown up with the pension system and to free the roll of fraudulent beneficiaries. The condition of the treasury calls of the nation renders it imperative. Above all, the honor of the veterans of the Union cause demands it. Nobody is so much ine terested in this work as the soldiers themselves. It means more to them than it does to anybody else, and it is an encouraging token that thou- sands of them are in hearty sympa- thy with the movement for purify- ing a service which now bounty to so jects. It is clearly obvious that all right- ful pensioners are injured by the in- dispenses many unworthy ob- scription of every spurious name on the rolls. These false claimants, with their bogus disabilities, impart to the pension system a certain flavor of mendicancy which is e ceedingly humihating to brave and honest soldiers who sacri- ficed their health the service of their country and sustained injuries which render them proper objects in ment. This class of veterans resent the abuso which places a price cn patriotism and reduces allegiance to the flag to a purchasable commodity. It is the purpose of the government, under the new adjustment, to eradi cate this evil. It require great care and patience and courage, but the administration will have port of public sentiment iu the per formance of this duty. Itis somewhat significant thata number of the states which the re- publicans were wont for many years to carry with the “soldier vote” join- ed the democratic That served to explode the argu- ment that the veterans regard Mr. Cleveland iu the light of an enemy. confidence and manifested a degree of trust in his generosity and jus- tice which will not be betrayed.
