He was under oath, and determined that
he would not peTjure himself, even for one
bear, replied, with look of reproach at the
LAWYER who had taken such mean ad-
vantage of him, that he had never shot a
bear.
If the hard-hearted lawyer had only
waited till Billy had left the Courtroom be-
fore asking him such question, he would

A Lady Claims That Three Men Chased
Her After Dark.
Last night an old and reliable citizen
called at the RECORD UNION office and
stated that early in the evening, but after
dark, as he was in the vicinity of Seventh
and streets, he met a woman running
toward him and greatly frightened. She
was screaming, Save me Save me-" and
in her haste fell to the sidewalk.
The citizen ran to her assistance and
took her to a grocery store near by. She
was young woman who said she had
been to deliver some sewing, and that
three men had pursued her just before she
met the citizen referred to. She was
greatly frightened, and was escorted to her
home near Fifth and n streets. Her
rescuer stated to a reporter that he caught
a glimpse of somebody running out of
sight lust as he met the lady.

Chasing Potatoes.

A potato race" was the attractitn at
the skating rink last night. There were
about twenty entries for the prize, all tf
whom were young men. The potatoes
were arranged in rows of eight across the
floor, and each contestant was assigned 10
row. At the word "go" they all stai ted
for the further end of their rows the idea
being that the farthest potatoes must be
picked up separately and brought back to
box for the purpose before another potato
could be secured.
The scrambling and tumbling of the ex-
cited contestants fairly convulsed the au-
dience. The race resulted in a tie between
Messrs. King, Clark, Toohy, Lewick and
Delano. The winners then competed
again, resulting in a victory for Clark.
Delano came in second, and in conse-
quence was given second prize. Phil
Knell, the baseball pitcher, acted as Judge.

His Son Testifies That He Was Perfect
T5rant in His Own Home.
The divorce case of Margaret Johnson
against William E Johnson occupied all of
yesterdays session in Judge Van Fleets
Court. A great deal of bitterness has been
developed during the trial, all of the sons and
daughters of the couple that have so far
testified giving evidence against their
father One son, Nathaniel, testified that
he was p years old and never heard his
father say pleasant word to his mother
This will be news to those who have en-
joyed the hospitality of "Tule" johnson
and his family at their country house in
years past.
The aged defendant was apparently agl-
tated at times while his son was testifying
TO alleged acts of brutal treatment on the
part of his father toward his mother. The
witness swore that the defendant habitually
applied all sorts of vile epithets to his wife.
1t was further testified by the son that
his father once put strychnine in an apple
that had fallen from tree and tied the
apple on the tree again. But the witness
afterward explained that the father told
him he did it to poison the birds that were
preying on the fruit. Young johnson ad-
mitted that at the same time he was him
self the lessee of the place, but did not re-
monsuate with his father.
In reply to questions by counsel. the wit
ness testified that his father used to beat
the plaintiff, and that the children
frequently had to run and open the gate to
enable the mother to escape into the fields.

THE WAGE-EARNER.
An Allegheny Minister on the Duty Of the
Covarurnane

An Allegheny Minister on the Duty Of the
Governments.
Rev. William Robertson delivered an ad-
dress in Grand Army Hall on West Dia-
mond street, Allegheny, yesterday after
noon on the subject: ''The Duty Of the Gov
ernment to the Wage -Earners." His text
was the parable of the laborers who were
given employment in the vineyard, which is
mentioned in the twenty-second chapter of
Matthew. He said, in substance:
The Government is duty bound to give the
freedmen Of the South the privileges of all
other citizens and. 1 think, should also give
employment to the idle men of the country.
The wage-earners are entitled to their God
given and inalienable right to life and the nee
men the right to the earth and no man can
justly be deprived of it. A workingman does
not lose his right to own land by
being wage-earner. He has the right
to such employment and such wages as will be
an equivalent for his right to the land. To
deny the workingmen their rights would be to
place them in condition of abject slavery,
anything on earth. A man has right to the
means of substance in order to enjoy any right
whatever. Herein lies the duty of the Gov
ernment to the wage-earner.
do not advocate division OF the land, as
that would greatly disturb, if not destroy, our
civilization. It will be seen that the right to
live to be of any value whatever, must include
a right to the necessary means of living. 1t is
the duty of the Government to secure to them
these rights in preference to all others. The
Government could give employment and rea-
sonable minimum wages to all of its citizens
who might not be able to find employment for
themselves. This, 1 consider, the best method
by which all wageworkers, whether men or
women. can be secured in the enjoyment of
their right to the means Of earning reasonable
ana Independent living.

AN EMINENT DIVINE.
Rev. DR.. Edward JudsOn Delivers Two Ad-
dresses in the City.

Rev. DR.. Edward Judson Delivers Two Ad-
dresses in the City.
Rev. DR.. Edward Judson, of New York
City, son Of the late missionary, Adoniram
Judson, preached in the Fourth Avenue
Baptist Church yesterday morning and last
night. In the morning his text was: ''The
Love of Christ Constraineth U.s." He
threw volume of meaning into the three
sided definition of the word "constraint, -
and proceeded to show how the simple pur-
suit of happiness, with no others higher
aim, must fail of tsobject. Happiness could
only be overtaken by thanking it around
the corner of duty"
The subject of DR.. Judson's evening dis
course was, with Me, the Hidden Light, %
and he said:
In every human being there are two men at
war, fguretively speaking-the old man and
the new; the flesh and the spirit. 1t will be no.
ticed that in this war for supremacy the old
then he is killed and pushed away. Up to the
time we experience religion-that mystery of
every unregenerate soul-the worse spirit is
crushing the better one to the wall.
Just compare yourself to a man in boat,
pulling against the current and borne back
by its strength. You must preserve. Just as
soon as you take Christ, the old evil map dies,
and you cast him off from your SOUL How
ever, at first he is like the leaves of the scrub
oak. which have hung on tenaciously through
the winter, dried and scared by the SHOWS, and
only in the spring appearing with buds and new
leaves. Just so you must shake of the old, bad
spirit for the new one.
