The Faith Cure Preacher,

Rev. V. P. WEIGH, of Chicago, who be-
gan Divine Healing Mission here
a week ago at Heuck's Hall, left last
night for Jackson, where his associate,
Rev. Mr.. Kelly, had preceded him.
Those who heard Mr.. Welch's exposi-
ton of the Scriptures all the way
through have no criticism of the man
and the least to say against his doc
trine, which, in brief, is that God is
never the author of disease and that
Christ, through faith of the believer
and the power of the Holy Spirit, is as
faithful and ready to heal all manner
of diseases today as He was during His
ministry on oarth and in the days of
the Apostles. Mr.. WEIGH left saying
he expected to return to Brookhaven
again in a year or so. Any community
which gives him a Christian welcome
and unprejudiced hearing will be the
better for it, whether they agree with
him on all points or not. He is bold,
faithful and earnest preacher of the
Truth, as he interprets it.

The Blind Tigers.

Hartwell and Clara Scott, colored,
husband and wife, were convicted in
Mayor Daughtry's court yesterday
evening of selling liquor in violation
of law. Scott was given $500 and
costs and 60 days on the streets, and
his wife fined $500 and costs.
The prosecution was vigorously and
ably represented by Thos. Brady, Esq,
while Messrs. Chrisman q Brennan
made the best possible of the defense.
The proof was too clear and the tracks
of the ''blind tiger too apparent for
His Honor to be misled by sophistry
or mere flmsy technicalities and con-
viction followed as above stated.
Other cases are still pending which
will come up on next Thursday and
Friday.
In the course of argument, counsel
for the defense paid the court the very
high compliment of declaring in the
most emphatic terms that there is not
a court in Mississippi, either of high or
low degree, where such little quarter
is shown blind tigers as is shown them
in the Mayors court of Brookhaven.
This may or may not be true. Be that
as it may, for some time past it has
looked as if the blind tigers were re-
solved to place the law, its ministers
and the law-abiding element of the
community on trial, and it affords THE
LEADER much pleasure and gratifica-
ton to say our Mayor and Marshal and
the commonwealth attorney are
meeting the issue thus presented
bravely and without fiinching or
Sinking.

The State chemist has assigned the
first place in point of superiority to
the Royal G. Brand of fertilizer of this
company, fact all who contemplate
using commercial fertilizers should
note. Messrs. Sherman & Davis and
A. q. Seavey, Brookhaven, can supply
all customers.
Mr.. H. T. Arnold, of Manchester. Ia.
who attended the Interstate Farmers
Institute at Vicksburg, and then Mar
di Gras in New Orleans, stopped off at
Brookhaven a few hours last Wednes-
day, while returning home. He bore a
pleasant greeting from DR.. N. s. Craig
to number of old friends here, who
were much pleased to hear from the
genial Doctor. The LEADERS editor
is indebted to Mr.. Arnold for a brief
call and found him to be such pol
ished and agreeable gentleman he
could not help wishing Brookhaven
might borrow him from Iowa lndefi-
nitely.
Carl Faelten and his big piano were
accorded the highest compliment ever
paid by so large a Brookhaven au-
dience-complete silence during the
entire performance. And no wonder,
for the angels must have drawn near
to listen at the echoes called forth
from heavenly hills by the magic
touch of this marvellous musician. An
immense audience filled Heuck's Opera
House, which President Chambers
made complete by the cordial welcome
and kindly sympathy toward old and
young, that one intuitively feels at the
approach of the genial president.
The LEADER extends congratulations
to him on the success he has scored
and bespeaks another such out pour
ing on April LIST, when the great char
acter impersonator, Edward P. Elliot
win appear.

LUMBERMENs' EXCURSION.

Big Day at Rogue Chitto and weiin,an.
On last Tuesday afternoon red let
ter day was recorded in the history OF
the Keystone Lumber Mills at Well
man, two and half miles from the
thriving village of Bogue Chitto. On
that day $50 excursionists OF the Re-
tail Lumber Dealers Association of
Illinois came up from New Orleans in
their elegant palace cars, were met by
citizens of Bogue Chitto and by Mr..
and Mrs. f. II. Hartman, w. II. AL
len, Capt. ]. A. Hoskins and j.
b. Nalty and The LEADER report
er from this place and in COM
pany with them we're soon rendered
the waiting hospitality of lumber"
flat car train. For fully an hour or
more the merry party was left to the
tender mercies of thus riding on rail,
while rumbling over hill and valley out
to Wellman and beyond, as far as the
branch road extended. Upon their re-
turn from the woods, where gigantic
pines were felled, sawed and loaded on
wagons and trains for the benefit of
the wondering Westerners a royal re-
ception was rendered the excursionists
and their elegant wives by the Key
stone Lumber Company, in the i'm
mense dry kiln of the mill. There
were five heavily laden tables, which
opened the eyes as we'll as the mouths
of the appreciative strangers. The af-
ter dinner speeches by various gifted
speakers met with hearty response, af-
ter which all repaired to the waiting
flats where an improvised darkey sing
ing club furnished amusing music and
''gifted colored orator" met with en-
thusiasm from "de white folks" from
Illinois.
This was probably most notable &C.
casion in the history of Wellman, and
too much cannot be said in praise of
the public spirit and enterprise as we'll
as the hospitality of the Keystone
Lumber Co., who planned and execu-
ted this brilliant entertainment. Sou
venirs of the occasion were literal card
boards from Moreton & Helms Lumber
Co., presented to each visitor.
The reporter feels greatly indebted
to Mr. and Mrs F. H. Hartman and the
accommodating Mr.. w. H. Allen of the
Hartman Lumber Co, for numerous
courtesies.

The UnaccountabIe Suicide of Thomas Farley
 at Montgomery Yesterday.
THE SALOON KEEPERS ARE EXERCISED
Because the Auditor Has Called on Them for Back Licenses-Judge Gaston Qualifes-The Supreme Court
 Hands Down Decisions.
Age-IIerald Bureau,
Montgomery, April


 MT. Thomas r.. Farley, a well-known and popular citizen of Montgomery, com mitted suicide at 3 o'clock this afternoon at his home on Jeff Davis avenue, by taking a large dose of morphine, estimat- ed to be between fifteen and twenty grains. MT Farley was seen on the streets by the Age Herald man only few hours before his suicide, and he seemed to be in good health and spirits, greeting his friends pleasantly as was his wont. It is stated that shortly after entering his home at his dinner time he took the morphine, procured from down town drug store and calmly informed his wife of what he had done. She gave the alarm and sent in hot haste for Drs. Wood and Wilkerson, who did everything possible to avert the deadly effects of the drug, but to no avail.
 The deceased was 27 years old, and leaves wife and two little boys.
 No reason can be assigned for the deed, and so far no letters or papers have turned up to throw any light on the con- dition of the mans affairs. The deceased was in the employ of the Montgomery Brewing company, occupying the posi- ton of city salesman.
 The hour for the burial has not yet been fixed,

case of the Countess of Russell.

London April 23.-The trial of the ac- tion of the Countess of Russell seeking restitution of her conjugal rights, of which she was deprived by the previous action for divorce against her husband, Earl Russell was resumed this morning. The tstimony in the case having been finished counsel for the countess began his address to the jury. He argued that the lady was entitled to ask for maili- tenance, as in her conduct in insisting that the charges against her husband should be cleared up she had been per fectly sincere and actuated by motives of good faith
 Sir Henry James, on behalf of Earl, Russell contended that the countess was personally answerable for the foul sug- gestions made against her husbands character, and, therefore, not entitled to immunity from the consequences of her acts upon the ground that she had been i'll advised

Archbishop Kain Knows of Nothing Upon Which Father PheIan Could Have
 Based His Attack.

St. Louis, April 23.-Archbishop Kain was asked last evening for an opinion concerning the article in the Western Watchman, denouncing protestant young peoples societies as schools of depravity.
 this time to give my opinion of the ar this time to give my opinion of the ar ticle or pass criticism upon it. In the first place, I do not read Father Phe- lan's paper; there has been little fric- tion between Father Phelan and myself, and as l am his superior I think what criticism have to make I should make it personally to him.
 Father Phelan may have heard of the things he states; I have not. I have al- ways considered that the two societies were bodies of young people banded to- gether for good. I have never impugned their intentions. If any one of them Is able to do good alone, as body they are able to accomplish more. l am a firm believer in organization. That is all I know of the bodies, and I know of no reason for criticising them. I think the public understand Father Phelan's char acteristics too well to believe that this statement was made with my sanction or to feel any great annoyance from it.
 Protestant ministers and laymen are severe in their denunciation of the ob- noxiOus article.
