This clause exempts New York city and Saratoga

This is the main point in Mr.. Havnor's appeal.

SUNDAY law which amended by Chapter IS

IAN labor on Sunday is prohibited. excepting the
works OF necessity charity. In works Ct neccs-
sliy or charity Is included whatever Is needful dur

SUIT OVER COAL LAND.
A. u Russell and Others Are the
Defendants.

A. d Russell and Others Are the
Defendants.
On Saturday the ejectment case of Fl.
c. Comegys and others against A. b.
Russell and others was called for trial
in common pleas court. Attorneys
Comegys, Willard and Shurtleff repre-
sented the plaintiffs, and Attorneys II.
NJ. Hannah and S. B. Price represented
the defendant. Dr. Comegys took the
stand and testified to having obtained
two leases from Mr.. Davenport dated
July l, 1891. He had also lease dated
in 1890. In December, 1891, the work of
boring for the coal was commenced and
elevent feet of coal were found.
The defendant endeavored to show
on cross-examination that the plaintiffs
had only an option on the coal land and
would not make lease till after the
test of the coal. When the coal was
found they were desirous of making a
lease, but their option had expired. and
the purpose of the plaintiffs was to
abandon their option If no coal was
found and thus take little risks of liza
bility. The plaintiff holds that the
work was done with the full knowl-
edge of Mr.. Russell and without his
protest, and further that the option had
not expired, as it had been extended
piration.
Early In the afternoon court ad-
journed until this morning.

Him were all things created. 1t was
not for such a life that Christ came on
earth. but to prepare the way to live a
life which would match our destiny.
Man had, the power OF knowledge to
serve God. power of love and OF af-
fection. The reverend gentleman IL
lustrated In detail the difference be-
tween the love OF human beings and
that of animals. The love of man far
surpassed that of the beast Man had
a free will and knew right from wrong,
and should live In high achievements.
Some men lived as though there was
no God, and sought wholly the things
of the EARTH so much that when they
would do good evil was present with
them. Their faith, love and power, to
do good are gone and If they remain 80
1t means eternal death; such men
have continual war internally. the
lust, jealousy and all ungodliness In
which they are living are at war, and
consequently that man Is rendered mis-
cradle.
Christ on that joyful Easter morning
made His own triumph over death, and
happy was the time when He again APP
peared to Mary and His disciples after
His resurrection. Christ's greatest
command was to preach the Gospel to
