III. Alleged Copy of the Most MemOraOI

The alleged Copy Of the Most Memorable
Judicial Sentence Ever Pronounced.
The following is o copy of the most
memorable judicial sentence which has
ever been pronounced in the annals Of
the world, namely, that of death against

Journal lie Droit has collected and the
knowledge of which must be interesting
in the highest degree to every Christian.
1t is word for word as follows:
Sentence pronounced by Pontius Pill
ate, intendant Of the Lower Province OF
Galilee, that Jesus of Nazareth shall
suffer death by the cross.
In the seventh year of the reign of the
Emperor Tiberius, and on the Oath day
of the month of March, in the most holy
city of Jerusalem, during the pontifcate
Of Annas and Ciphas.
Poutius PLATE, intendant of the prov
ince of Lower Galilee, sitting in iudg-
ment of the presidential seat of the
Praetors, sentences Jesus of Nazareth
to death on cross between two robbers,
as the numerous and notorious testimoni-
ais of the people prove:
/. Jesus is O misleader.
2. He has excited the people to sedi-
ton.
8. He is an enemy to the law.
4. He called himself the Son of God.
8. He calls himself, falsely, the King
Of Israel.
6. He went into the temple followed

factories, mills and workshops all written in the

all telling the same story of Democratic disaf

against the detested candidate. One of the most

He Is the Only Member of the Family Who
Supports Cleveland.
New York Special
The Rev. DIR. Edward Beecher of Brooklyn, a
brother of Henry Ward Beecher, speaking of
the latter's supporting Cleveland, said, to-day:
Henry is alone in this. None of the others
in the family support Cleveland. Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe wrote Henry asking not to throw
himself with the Democrats against his Oldest
friends and associates, but his head seems to be
turned and he is deaf to what any of those say
whom he used to regard. The New York Times
and all of his new friends rose against him in
the time of his trial"
''How do you account for his position9"
sit has grown out of his views on free trade,
and his associations with the Golden Club, Mr.
Sherman, and others This position has been
strengthened by an unfavorable estimate Of Mr..
Blaine, and the influences which have come to
make him exalt Cleveland and regard Mr.
Blaine unclaimable. 1t is curious anomaly.
In his speech at the Brooklyn Academy of Mu-
sic night, Gen. Stewart L. Woodford said, re-
ferring to Mr.. Beecher:
"a Christian minister should not say one word
that would weaken the trust of mothers in their
boys. sisters in their brothers, and wives in
their husbands In the name of the manhood of
Brooklyn 1 brand as a SANDER on the manhood
of Brooklyn the words that have been spoken by
one whom love tonight as / have loved for
thirty years, but who has weakened his influence
for good in a way that no enemy could have
weakened it. [Applause.l 1 hope that the
White House will never be occupied by a man
who is father without being husband, and
whose companion is a mistress without being a
wife" Tremendous applause

REMEDIES that are blunt square and direct do
not appeal to the imagination. Oil is oil, salts

RICHMOND Nov "A reception was given at
this place last evening in honor Of ex-President
Moore, who soon leaves with his family for North
Carolina About 200 guests. including the stu
dents, were present, and after bounteous feast
a number of excellent toasts were offered The
speakers referred to the past work of the worthy
President, rendering regrets that his health does
not permit him to remain longer with
the college. The students, the members of the
alumni and near friends felt that they wished to
show some appreciation to him in a more sub
stantial way than mere praise, so a subscription
was started few days. ago. and last evening
President j. J. Mills presented him with purse
containing $137. Some years ago, President
Moore was obliged to leave Eariham and go

WOMEN AS POLITICIANS.
Hoosier Ladies Who Are Pulling the Wires
vigorously.

Vigorously.
Indianapolis Special, in Boston Herald.
The aristocratc society of Indianapolis is
largely made up of Republicans and since the
attack on Baine's secret marriage the ladies
have become intensely interested in politics. and
now they make 1t social offense to vote the
Democratic ticket. 1t would be very interesting
eading if the feminine side of this Indiana cam
could all be spread out in cold type. The wom-
en- don't get into the newspapers, but they pull
great many wires behind the screen. If this
State is lost to Cleveland and Hendricks, / will
venture the prediction that the hand of an Indi-
annapolis Eve will be found to have passed around
the apple among the political Adams A femi-
nine quarrel in high Democratic circles is already
The men concerned would, perhaps, have long
ago come to an understanding if it had not been
for the tongues of the women.
The Hooser women of all classes are taking a
lively interest in politics. In German meeting

been out stumping in the country towns cay that
the women flock to the outdoor meetings, and
in some cases keep the men away from the plat
forms. Young women wearing Gainsborough
hats with Haunting feathers, put on riding habit

patriotic embems and ride in hugo barges, and
in every way from window decorations to parad-

REV. DIR. WINTHRoW.
As an Original Cleveland Man He Withdraws
His Support.

His support.
Boston, Nov 3.-The Rev. DR.. Withrow, Of
Park-Street Church, who was once an original
Cleveland man, preached sermon last night
which pretty clearly demonstrated his CONVEX
sion from the independent" craze. He re
ferred to the brave clergymen in Buffalo who
denounced Clevelands sin, notwithstanding they
knew they would receive contumely and re-
proach for their pay. Mr. Withrow gave five
reasons why he could not vote for Cleveland,
and said:
az am influenced in my vote by the consdera-
ton that it was ministers of religion who forced
this lssue-1nen who have nothing to say of
tariff anu revenue, and civil service reforners.
There are few clergymen who have seen fit to
make light of this sin of our candidate. Now,
suppose that not two or three but all the pulpits
of the land had spoken out and declared to the
youth of this country that, in the Judgment of
religious teachers, it should be bar to a
mans advancement to the highest place within
our gift that he has earned a character
for great crime against the Seventh Command
ment For that is the short and honest way
to look at it. And if it is right for one minis
ter in Boston, Just one, and one in Brooklyn, to
exculpate this candidate, then it is right for us
all to do So And il we do so in private we
should all do so in public What then, think
you, would have been the effect if all over the
land the pulpits had been excusing and condoning
this crime, and calling it by soft names9 The
further consideration which shall influence my
vote is this that instead of being the poor victim
whose name is blacllened, it might as easily
have been some other woman. What 1 ask
every honest man to answer in the presence of
God is chs; Suppose it had been one as dear to
you as this woman once was to her own; then
whats Let no naughty Pharisee stand up TO
say such thing can never happen in his family
circle! And suppose it should strike you even
in the remotest part; then would you vote to
place such man as had ruined the good name,
as we'll as the character of your home, would
you help him into the presideneyW
