1t is Set for the 18th Of December-The
Prisoner Well.
This morning in the Court in General Term
Mr. Jere NJ. Wilson Of counsel for Howard j.
Schneider, under sentence of death for wife
murder, called the attention Of the court to the
case and requested that its hearing be set
for tho 18th Of December next instead
Of the 2lst Of next month. Mr..
Wilson stated that he made the request for
the reason that he would require that
much longer time to prepare for the case
and because OF his appearance before the
United States Supreme Court in the Rock Creek
Park case on the 26th Of November. District
Attorney Cole said that whil6 he would be
ready to proceed with the Schneider case on
the day first assigned. November q, he would
not object TO any reasonable delay.

disposed of during December. and II they
thought they could do that he would
thereupon announced that the case would
be heard the 18th of De-
cember. Mr.. Wilson filed today the record in
the case 1t comprises more than 800 printed
pages and covers every incident in the memora-
bic trial.
Speaking today Of Schneider's condition an
officer OF the Jail stated to STAR reporter that
the condemned man was well as ever and
that all stories alleging the insanity of the pris-
oner were without foundation i'll fact. e
AS far as be could perceive. and he saw him
almost every day, the official said Schneider
had changed little, if any, since his conviction.
except as to his personal appearance He has
become careless and seemingly indifferent in
that, but In all else he appeared unchanged.

The True Missionary.


THAT the world may believe that Thou
hast sent Me- was the text Of sermon YES
terday morning in the Church Of the Holy
City by Rev. Frank Sewall. The first mis-
sionary was the Word Of God, that Word which
in the beginning was with God and was God,
''sent forth" in creation and incarnated in
Jesus Christ. The Father is the all-beyert,no
divine love; the Word the only begotten Son of
the Father, the divine truth These two are the
fundamental ground, substance and essence of
all being. Love, the essence; truth. the form.
expression, instrument proclaimer missionary:
the Holy Spirit, the divine proceeding life and
operation. The twelve men who were apostles
and all men Of all churches and nations who are
true apostles are breathed upon, inspired from
the divine love through the divine truth, are
impelied, sent forth to teach and labor for the
good of others, rather than themselves. The
burden Of this yearning and infinite love is
what speaks in the prayer Of Jesus to the
Father, shat the world may believe that Thou
hast sent Me, +" that all men NAV have eternal
life." Not in authoritative dogmas Of men, but
in the eternal laws of being itself, it 10 vital to
understand what it Is to be ''sent Of God. a"
The reason is one that appeals to the philoso-
pher, the cool nationalist the scientific student,
the man Of the world, to any who dares to look
beneath the mere surface Of living to find out
the secrets OF his own destiny his own duty,
All truth is the form and expression
Of love, comes forth from it, and to recog-
nize this is the condition Of eternal life. The
responses OF the beloved to the one who loves
completes the circle of life. THAT they all may
be one, as Thou, Father, art in Me and in
Thee, that they all may be one in u.s."

those who have plenty Of capital to back their
games and who in consequence thereof
do a much larger business did
not sympathize with their companion
but we're apparently glad to see him taken in
and his business crushed. The only thing that
annoyed them was the publicity that would
necessarily follow.
1t was about 8 o'clock in the afternoon when
the officials reached the house and found the
large crowd:
Nelson. the proprietor. was there and SO was
a man named Forster, who seemed personally
interested in the game. At one side of the
room was q hazard table at which sat an
elderly man whose connection with the game
of policy has caused him to suffer imprison-
ment in the Jail in this city.
TRYING TO GET AWAY.
The appearance of SO many officers made ii
evident that they were there for the purpose
OF making a raid and the motley gathering
made a hasty effort to get outside. 1t was
case of every man for himself and
no respect at all was paid the windows, for the
men tried to get out through them as though
they were open DOORS and the result was both
disastrous and amusing. One man, called
Fatty" who used window as an exit, got
through all right. but his clothing failed to pass
without interruption. for his coat caught the
window and the window in turn caught his
coat. The result was that he went to the
ground leaving his garments hanging from the
window. Another mans big feet caused him
trouble. The window went down. catching his
feet and holding him in the air. He was e1tri-
Gated from his unpleasant situation and was
permitted to depart without being placed under
arrest
When the excitement had subsidized and peace
again reigned Nelson informed the sheriff that
he was the man for whom be was looking and
he was placed under arrest. Forster was also
arrested.
The officers took possession Of all the para
phernalia, including the keno wheel, checks,
cards, &C., and held them as evidence. The men
who we're arrested we're then driven to Alex
andria and detained for hearing today.
BUSINESS RESUMED THIS MORNING.
This morning when STAR reporter arrived
at Jackson City or "Monte Carlo" as the place
is called, there we're seen along the line the
