local magistrate and the case was
commented freely on by the press.
The publicity thus given to the affair
happened to arrest the notice of a

been appointed trustees of some prop

a distant relative 20 years before. They
had failed to trace the heir, but when

A MODEST PHILOSOPHER

John Stuart Mill was an unassuming
philosopher. He strove to give his
wife the credit of his works, and he
was never pretentious in claiming pre-
cedence among men. Miss Cobbe, in
her Life" relates this anecdote of MIR.
Mills modesty:
She was reading to him one day
about the difficulty of doing mental
work when disturbed by the music OF
street bands, and instanced the case of
a gentleman who was thrown into a.
frenzy by their noise.
at does not interfere with my work, -
said Mr.. Mill
Miss Cobbe remarked that Herbert
Spencer was much annoyed by such
disturbance.
"Ah. yes. of counsel" rejoined the
modest man. Writing Spencers
works one must have quieti"
He was so unconscious of the free
dom from disturbance required to
write his own System of Logic and
Political Economy" that he would
allow, while writing. his cat to lie on
his table or on his neck. His gen
tleness and his absorption in his theme
protected him.

WEsLEY's VIEWS ON FREEDOM OF
CONSCIENCE.

Old John Wesley never claimed to be
a liberal, but he once wrote these
words. which can be recommended.
even to the most liberal thinkers, as
being not without force to them:
Condemn no man for not thinking
as you think. Let every one enjoy the
full and free liberty Of thinking for
himself. Let every man use his own
judgment, since every man must give
an account of himself to God. Abhor
every approach, in any kind or degree,
to the spirit of persecution. If. you
cannot reason or persuade a man into
the truth, never attempt to force a, man
into it. If love will not compel him to
come, leave him to God, the Judge of
oil

A second murder only a day after the
brutal assassination Of Captain Fred
erick and his wife, wealthy old
couple at Gardenvtlle, Baltimore county,
Maryland, has caused great excite
ment. Zachariah Jolly. a yonug fisher
man who lived at Middle River, twelve
miles from here, had betrayed Mary
Messenger, the 2O-year-old daughter of
John Henry Messenger, well-to-G5
farmer of the same locality. MesSen-

latter left the Middle River polling
place on Tuesday night, Messenger, it
is supposed, followed him to a lonely
spot near a railroad, and stabbed him
in the back. Messenger, when he
learned that he was suspected, fed

ANOTHER BODY.

i'm the Kansas Medical College.
TOPEKA, Kan. Dec. 14.-In a secret
closet in the Kansas Medical college the
police today found another body that has
not been accounted for by the college Off
Gals. The cadaver is that of a. man. So
far the remains have not been identified.
The body has evidently been in the col
lege some time. Though the people here
are still very indignant over the recent
revelations, there is no longer any danger
of a demonstration against the college.
The members of the faculty and janitor
are under arrest charged with receiving
stolen bodies, still persist in their asser-
tfons that they know nothing as to where
the bodies came from or know how they
were taken into the college.

MORAL STATUS OF THE NEGRO.

The views which are held in the
north as to the present status Of the
negro in the south are rudely disturb
ed by the recent utteranceS of Rev. DR..
Steel, a distinguished minister of the
Methodist Episcopal church, south, and
editor of the Epworth Era. Here is
his frank, unvarnished statement:
1.-THE south received the negro from
Africa as a barbarian of the lowest
type, and by its mild and humane sys-
tenn of bondage, almost misnamed
slavery, it converted him in a genera
ton into an Industrious, useful, con-
tented and happy race. devoted to his
attachment and faithful in their SER
vices to the white people they called
their masters. The north set them free,
enfranchised them with the ballot,
preached the doctrines of equality to
them, and in a single generation has
succeeded pretty nearly in undoing all
that had been done for them. a few
schools, here and there, are educating
a. few hundred, but the level OF the
race is slowly sinking. The negro is
today far below what he was in 1860
in all that constitutes moral character
We are dealing now with
the new negro the product of free
dom. and he is about as worthless,
good-for-nothing a. specimen or the
genus homo as can be found in crea-
ton
Under such conditions the objection
of the whites of South Carolina to be
outvoted and governed by the negro is
perfectly natural.
