The citizens of this town and cotn,nun;tv

Marydel has at last two physicians. when
only snort time ago we had none. We
h9Ve never had any regular doctor here

ment, and here ct late we have been losing
so many OF our most prominent doctors

tor OF Hillsboro, gave up q good praetioe
there to come here, which he thou0bt
would be a better field. Our people feeI
much relieved now and it is not neeessarv

practices and the inducement TO renoin

DIR. Duncan McGregor, pastor of the
Centennial Baptist Church, Philadel-
phia, who is accused of having written
an improper letter to young lady, a
member of the church, has been re-
quested by vote of 100 to 7S to resign.
OF course his usefulness is gone, and
there is nothing for him to do but to
get out. The offence was what might
be termed minor one, writing an i'm.
proper letter, not compromising con-
duct kept up until the community was
scandalized. This church deserves
credit for its determination to keep its
character clean, though there were
those of different view there as else
where. 1t could not have done other.
wise without trailing its standard in the
mire and dirt. The religious teachers
who do these things but whose great
concern is to keep from being found out
(leaving God out of the question: are
sons of Belial who, if the divine word
be true, can have no concord with
Christ.

A Note From the Princinal.

The attention of parents and guard
ians is called to the fact that scholars
who are late in entering school must
make up the lost work before the end OF
October lCOrk in the various branches
from day to day, or else drop back to the
grade from aUhich they lOere promoted
While the teachers are willing to do the
extra work made necessary by such
pupils absence, it would be unfair to
the regular attendants to hold them
back while the absentees caught up.
Without such limit as l have Just set
some of our schools might as well close
until after the Christmas HOLIDAYS.
Respectfully,
A. DUNCAN YOCUM.

The centennial anniversary Friday of
the laying of the cornerstone of the

success. The weather was all that
could be desired, an immense crowd
gathered about the White House, along g
Pennsylvania avenue and around the

one, and the proceedings at the eastern

ing character. Bishop Paret delivered
the prayer. and addresses were delive-

The furry last week over the short
age that was found in the Mint has
been settled and the thief found. He
proves to be Henry S. Cochran, who
has confessed the theft of gold bullion
worth $1S4,OOO from the Philadelphia
mint, has been a trusted official of the
government for forty-three years. He
is believed to be insane. The gold bars
and coin recovered reduce the shortage
to $4,000, which can be recovered
from the property of Cochran and his
bond.

SAVED HIS NECK.
All Sue Pleads Guilty to the Murder o
All Man.

All sue BleauS Guilty 10 lHe huruSF Oh
All Man.
1t having been determined by jury
on Tuesday that All Sue, the slayer OF
All Man, was not insane, his friends per-
suaded him that it would be advisable for
him to plead guilty to murder and trust
to the leniency of the court, rather than
to stand trial and run the risk of being
sentenced to death.
He therefore appeared before Judge
Johnson yesterday prepared to acknowI-
edge that he killed All Man, although not
Intentionally. Lincoln White, the pris-
oner's counsel, informed the court that
his client would plead guilty to the charge
of murder, provided the court would
promise not to intiict the death penalty.
OF course Judge Johnson declined to
commit himself beforehand as to what
penalty he should intiict, but still counsel
pleaded for some such assurance.
District Attorney Ryan said he would
not insist on the infiction of the death
penalty, under tho circumstances, al
though he regarded the crime as a willful
one. Still, a doubt existed as to the pris-
oner's mental soundness, and he would
consent to a sentence of life imprison-
ment.
The prisoner then made statement to
the effect that he killed All Man through
mistake but would plead guilty.
Judge johnson said that he would be
governed, in determining the degree of
murder applying to the case, by the evil
dence taken in the examination as to the
prisoners sanity, and would announce
the sentence on Saturday.
