In the conversation which followed the Wis
ltor took occasion to exhort Mr.. James to
live a Christian life, but the train robber in
tmated that he was already doing so, and
that it was no new thing either. In fact,
after considering his remarks, one is prepared
to hear that the Blue Cut robbery was COM
mitted in fit of religious frenzy. Mr..
James did not go so far, however; but said to
the sympathetic clergyman, as be grasped his
hand in parting
II put my trust in the Lord. That's the

ever is melted out to me l will try to be salts

turn to my wife and family and try to lead
a Christian life"
The visitor also called upon another pris-
oner a young man who killeda dsreputable
woman. The prisoners conversation was
less devout and consequently less edifying
than that OF Mr.. James, but the motto in
God trust" upon the wall of his cell, seemed
to indicate that he was youth OF excellent
sentiments, and the visitor departed much
encouraged.

REV. ANNA OLIVER, formerly pastor of a
Brooklyn church, sued by citizen of that
place, who sought to recover $500, which he
said she had borrowed. Miss Oliver said the
money was gift to the church and not loan,
and refused to pay it. The suit came up for trial
this week, ana before its close the defendant ad-
dressed the following open letter to the judge,
the intelligent jury and all who were connected
with the case:
"Gentlemen-Thanking on for the politeness,
the courtesy, the chValry even, that may be
shown me to-day, allow me to make of YOU the
following request: Please sit down at your
earliest leisure and endeavor TO realize in imag-
ination how you would feel if you were sued by
a woman. and the case was brought before a
court composed entirely of women; the judge q
woman; every member of the jury a woman;
women 70 read the oath to you and hold the
Bible and every LAWYER woman. Further,
your case To be tried under laws formed entirely
by women. III which neither you nor any man
mad ever been allowed a voice. Somewhat as
you would feel under such circumstances you
may be assured, on reading this, have felt dur
ing the trial to- day. Perhaps the women would
be lenient 10 you the sexes do favor each other,
but would Won be satisfied would you feel that
fair thing? If you would not, ask you on the
principle of the golden rule TO use your in
fuence for the acknowledgements of women. Re
spectfully, ANNA OLIVER"
verdict was rendered in favor of Miss
Oliver, which might not have been the case had
the jury been composed of women. They would
have leaned toward the deacon who W anted his
money.
