A Novel CONTRACT.
Extraordinary Challenge Issued and
Accepted.

Accepted.
Dallas. June 6-The Free Thinkers
hall was inadequate to conveniently
hold those who listened to John R.
Charlesworth's infidel lecture last
night, and it was the occasion of one of
the most unique challenges upon rec
ord. The lecture was entitled, 'Is
There a God?' The speaker claimed
that while there might be one, there
was no actual evidence to prove il. He
went over the ground from the early
histories and records to the present
day, and claimed that in the economy
of nature there was no necessity for a
God
At the conclusion of the lecture, Mrs.
Sweeney, president of the Dallas w. c.
T. u. arose and asked the lecturer if
he would give her his name that she
might pray for him, and if he felt his
heart touched he was to make as pub
lie an admission of the fact as he had
of his unbelief in a deity.
Paget, of the Free Thinkers society,
arose and asked Mrs. Sweeney if she
-xould accept his name; that he, like
the lecturer, doubted the existence of
Jehovah. All he stipulated for was a
time limit. He did not want to wait
until he was dead, as they might say
he made a deathbed recantation. The
time limit WIS set at three months. Mr..
Paget further stipulated that If at the
end of three months he and Mr..
Charlesworth, or either of them, had
not made public confession, Mrs.
Sweeney is to admit that there is no
efficacy in prayer, that God is failure
and does not exist To this Mrs. SWee-
ney agreed and the lecturer and secre-
tary signed this very extraordinary
challenge.

V. Debs is quietly waiting to be re,
committed 10 Jail. AS yet the Supreme
Court of the United States has not
issued the mandate Mr.. Debs thinks
it was issued yesterday and that he

Il do not mind serving out the SEN

work for the A. r. L. 1 will take my
desk and all things necessary to my
Office work with me. l have large
trunk packed with these already. 1t
will be necessary for me to have a
stenographer with me also. to handle
correspondence. AS far as l can figure
it, l can reduce my sentence to about
five and one-half months, which will
let me out about Nov. l, SO it is not
such an awful thing, after all. The
only objection l have to it is the in
convenience and the injustice of the
sentence"

GUAYAQUIL FALLS
Now in Possession of the Ecuador
RevOIutionists.


RevOIutionists.
New York, June 6.-A special dis
patch to local paper from Panama
says: The latest advices by cable con-
firm the report that Guayaquil mas
fallen into the possession of the Ecua-
dor revolutionists.
Ignacio Robes, pronounced Radl-
cal, has been appointed civil and mill
tary chief of the city. Great excitement
prevails, but peace and order will be
restored shortly. The newspaper men
of Ecuador who were expelled and live
in exile will leave here at once for
Guayaquil.
The cablegram is dated at Quay
aquil yesterday and reads as follows:
THE insurgents have possession Of
the city. Governor General Flores has
resigned. Ignacio Robels. Liberal, has
been proclaimed military and civil
general. Everything quiet at present.
Communication with Quito by tele-
graph IS interrupted"
The last statement explains why the
state department has heard nothing of
the progress of the revolution from
United States Minister Filman, who
should have arrived at his post at
Quito some time ago. Ecuador has been
in a turbulent state for some time
past and much dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed by the people generally at the
conduct of the government. This was
fomented by the transfer of the cele-
brated Chilian cruiser Esmeralda from
Chill to Japan under cover of the
Ecudorean flag early in the spring
and since that event there have been
several revolutionary outbreaks Gull
minating in this last successful at
tempt to overthrow the government
for il is believed now that Guayaquil
and other principal coast cities have
fallen into the hands of the revolu-
tionists, their complete success will be
only a matter of a few days.

MTwo Old Cronies.v

The new 1.-TWO Old Cronies" is a
farce comedy extravaganza, having
been elaborated upon to meet popular
demand. The old piece was a favorite
for years, and since Mr.. John B. Wills
began to revise it with up-to-date
ideas it has continued to grow in pop
ularity The newspapers of Minneapo-
lis, st. Paul and Duluth agree that the
new 1.-TWO Old Cronies" is far superior
in it's mirth-provoking powers to any
piece of the character that has been
presented in those cities this season.
Mr.. Wills assumes the character of
one of the 'SCronies," and his German
dialect is as amusing as are the drol-
