fiict with the statements Of witness
e. for the prosecution.
At go this afternoon the Com
mission met and the case Of Louis
Hyams was heard.
The first witness for the prOsecu-
ton was G. NJ. Cummings, who

| ton have here an unbounded field.
It is known that Genital Africa
abounds in vast forests and luxuri-
ant vegetation; hence that it is 4
region IN which human life might

known that II swarms with savage
tribes Of negroes. But of the ante
ceients Of those tribes very little is
known. Whether they are the
remnants Of nations that once
dwelt in cities, We're civilized and
knew the true God, CT whether
heirancestors, for untold ages, were
a. they are, is purely 4 matter Of
surmise. The Bible believer will Of
course take it for granted that they
are descendants Of Noah, and that,
for at least a time succeeding the
flood, their progenitors possessed a
knowledge Of the God whom Noah
worshipped.
But whatever may be the past
history Of the tribes now found in
Central Africa, a day is dawning
in which an overruling providence
evidently designs to carry to them
.he light Of modern civilization.

stating that the company had sold is

company, The transfer consisted Of
1900 coke ovens. 5000 acres Of land
and $50 special cars.
This deal, following SO closely on the

pany, has caused CONSERVATION and peo.
pie do not know what surprise will come
next. No intimation has ever been
made that the Schoonmaker company
