around certain well-deiined points.
The conspiracy, he now saw.extended

method of the plan were slowly COM
pretended, he asked himself: What is
the government doing? Can it be pos
sible that the world has not yet dis
covered the two exits 20 this strong
hold?-and then he tried TO forecast
the result when the exits were discov-
cred Hendricks cannot be oislodged,
he said, even by engineers, who would
have to tunnel a mountain. He can
only be sealed up and starved to death,
and in any such attempt what unknown
exits may he not have. He recalled
the mysterious magazine in the south
western wall of the rotunda with its
wooden doors and its sign of danger.
Was this magazine? Might not that
impression have been created to keep
secret an unknown exit until an emer-
gency occurred? He had heard La
port speak OF the ma gazine. He would
talk to the old man about ir.
His imagination pictured long
chasm leading to some unsupported
region of country with its exit hidden
in the mountains. He foresaw in
his fancy a besieging army enca,nping
over a mine or fallen upon by sudden
force that sprang UP IS if by magic in
it's rear-and then disappeared, and he
began to ask himself if this conspiracy
had not gathered into its ranks most
of the malign forces OF civilization
which under the names of nihilism and
anarchy seek mainly to destroy.
Intolerable as these reflections were
to a man compelled to see the progress
of oil this diabolism and prevented
from raising warning cry or lifting
finger, there were other considera-
tons that were even more poignant.

and Calicot had grown to have pro-
found sympathy for her. Lieut.. Stock

pulsive temperament developed still
stronger interest in her, and Stocking

pended on to assist him.

do what Calicot desired. She closed
her eyes a moment, gave way to little
trernor and then said: Eyes, there

that she could not repeat what she
heard. if, indeed, she heard anything
at all. whatever her special gifts
were they appeared to be confined to
vision. She could read the title and
the type of the paper in Jennings
hands and she saw his lips move. He
was undoubtedly reading to Mrs.
Hendricks, and she was summarizing
the intelligence in dispatches to
Hendricks. 1t was not difficult to
direct the girls mind to the news in
front of Fenning, and she read it off
with her body bent forward as If
straining to perceive an indistinct
object and speaking slowly like child

What was CaIicot's establishment to
hear her, in this manner, convey the
import of the matter before her strange
vision.
He learned that the success of the
authorities in tracking the source of
the widespread Junta conspiracy to
western Tennessee, had led to some
curious developments. The New York
police had succeeded in linking to-
gether several mysterious events which
pointed to the fact that the master
spirit of this new danger to social
order was no less a parsonage than
the audacious pirate who had robbed
the Atlantic steamship two years ago.
The United States government had

Here the girl stopped, and Calicot with
allowable Impotence ssked her to so on:

to be found In LevlticuS is no lndl-
cation that the latter is the subse
quert development of u more ritual
istic age. 1t is simply because there
was no need of repeating details that
had already been sufficiently enlarged
upon elsewhere. The Priest Code
was for the guidance of the priests in
conducting the ritual; Deuteronomy
for the people at large, to whom the
great lawgiver addressed his earnest
warnings and exhortations as he
was about to be taken from them.
The differences and discrepancies
alleged in these laws are for the most
part capable of being satisfactorily
harmonized. Ifa few puzzles re-
main insoluble by us, as DR.. Green
says, they are not any more than
might be expected in matters Of SO
ancient date, SO foreign from modern
ideas and usages, and concerning
which we have so little information.
They prove rather the greatness of
an author than a diversity and null
tiplicity Of authors.
Many other theories are there
against the Mosaic authorship of
which I can not now speak, all of
which can be successfully rebutted.
These theories are OF comparative
" recent origin and have absolutely

AMERICAN PHARMACISTS.
Steps That Should Be Taken as to
Colleges of Pharmacy.

AsheviIe, n. c., Sept. There
is a feeling among the druggists
in attendance at the forty second
annual convention of the Ameri-
can Pharmaceutical Association that
some steps should be taken to regulate
the colleges of pharmacy in the country.
1t is claimed that too many colleges
turn out graduates after ten
months courses, and thinking
druggists claim that this short term
of study Is absurd, and claim that at
least four years study in school and drug
store is necessary TO a thorough kuowl-
edge of pharmacy. This idea was intro
duced by c. 5. n. Hollsberg of Chicago.
The matter is still under discussion, but
a committee will probably be appointed
TO try to get the colleges to agree TO make
the changes. The pharmacists were
given an excursion to Hot Springs on a
special train to-day

The Populists Trying to Organize the
Blacks.


Oliver, Ca, Sept This town was
thrown into considerab BILE excitement last
night by the gathering Of a rabble of
blacks. When asked why they were
gathering so late at night, they responded
that Mr.. Stephen B. Lufburrow wanted
TO organize them into a club so as TO be
bettre able TO vote them and oppose the
democrats of Screyen county. After the
organization. MIR. Lufburrow addressed
them. He told them that if they did not
assist In defeating the democrats, there
would never be another Colored free
school in Georgia, and that it was the
purpose Of the democrats to enslave them
again. The better class of. intelligent
colored people Spurned the idea of attend
ing such meeting.
There are few white men, such as the
orator last night, that are working night
and day to incite the colored people of
Screyen against their true friends, but
they are meeting with poor success.
After Mr.. Lufburrow had exhausted
his third party vocabulary, there arose a
democratic colOred man, who made a talk
10 his colored brethren, showing them
that they were being deceived, and tnat
populism would not benefit them at all
but on the other hand would cause strife
and make their condition worse.
