1896. Mr.. Maxwell came to Lees

yearago otorecuperate his health. Last

He at one came and remained to the
last. His disease was consumption.
Mr.. Maxwell was man of no ordi-
nary ability. A strict disciplitarian
to the church, Presbyterian by
faith. There being no church of his
faith here, he at once identified him
self with all The churches here being
leader in the choir, the Sunday
school and faithful worker for the
church. Well informed in scrip
ture it was one Of the pleasures OF
his life to give information to the in

such truth; for in many cases the
struggling governments were appar-
emily saved by the lberality and
sacrifices of rich men united with
heroic endurance of their soldiers.
The revolutions which today shake
the world can be traced TO these
same causes either directly or indi-
rectly, and is the same continued
struggle for spiritual law in the in
tellectual world; it is fight for
spiritual liberation and mental su.
premacy; it is conflict for iDspira.
ton over human reason and philosc
ply. Revolutions never 60 back
ward and how can they with this
power behind ''the throne"
No rejecting mind who believes in
revelation can but be oveljoyed at
the reflection that Notwithstanding
the folly and contentious and selfish
natures of men there is an oyerrul-
ing Providence whose handwriting is
clearly seen in the governments of
men.
The upheaval in South Carolina is
a result of the people against the
negative policy of the Democratic
party; it is a rebellion against the
lethargy and non aggressive spirit of
our political system. Whatever We
may conjecture or whatever reason
We may give to this departure this I
believe is the keynote to the situa-
ton. The political anxiety and un-
rest of today is significant feature
and if I at all understand or know
anything of the philosophy of this
agitation and unrest, many who claim
to be leaders Of the people now have
most fatally interpreted the hand
writing on the wall.
Nor is there any reason to believe
that the free coinage of silver or any
other medium of value can supply
the damand for an investigation into
the cause of our depression and the
failure of all ordinary means to reach
the seat of our trouble. It is use
less for US to fight against destiny
or fortify against eternal doom. Des-
tiny and doom have forced on US a
condition that should call forth our
real, earnest reflection, and is The
monetary trouble, the disturbing
agency OF only one of the necessary
result of such condition as now
exists should be the anxious inquiry
of every citizen! Is the pol;t'cll
condition of Our land today the
cause of the trouble, or does the real
cause bring about such state of
things as now exists among us?
In my next will discuss the Jew,
his history and mission, and then /
will say something of the Anglo
Saxon, his history and mission.
Yours for truth. D. J. KNOTS.

II we could trace dyspepsia to its

cooked, foods are partially digested;
if poorly cooked, they are less diges-

are victim Of faulty cooking; that
is, if you suffer from dyspepsia, the
rational cure must be looked for in
an artiicially digested food, and a
food which will at the same time aid
the digestion Of other foods. Such a

digestive organs, thereby restoring
them to their natural strength.

Length Upon the Educational Depart-
ments-Address by President Harper.
Asbury Park, N. j., May 25,-The at

ings are joint affairs in which the mis-
sionary union, the publication society
and the home mission society all take

great favor and is making steady prog
ress. The Baptists are the first of the
great religious organizations separat-
ed by the war to come together for unit

ly four millions, and their practical
union is hailed as the harbinger of
great things for the future.

NEUTRALITY LAWs TIOLATED.
Decision of the Supreme Court in the
Horsa Case.

Decision of the Supreme Court in the
Horsa Case.
Washington, May 25.-Chief Justice
Fuller to-day delivered the opinion of
the supreme court in the case of the
United States VS.. j. H. S. Wiborg, cap
tain of the steamer Horsa, and others.
The case is the one which was recently
advanced by the court at the instance
of the attorney general for the purpose
of securing a decision of the court as
to the construction of our neutrality
laws, and their effect in preventing fill
clustering expeditions against friendly
powers. Wiborg was the captain of
the Horsa and with his associates was
accused of attempting to land arms
surreptitiously in Cuba. They were
found guilty under the neutrality laws
of the United States court at Phila-
delphia.
To-day's opinion held that the decis-
ion OF the Pennsylvania court was cor
rect on the point that the expedition
was a violation of the neutrality laws.
The Judgment of this court was affirm
ed as to Wiborg, but reversed as to the
mates Johansen and Petersen, on the
ground that they We're ignorant of the
purpose OF the expedition.
Judge Harlan concurred in the rever-
sal of the judgment as to Petersen and
Johansen, but dissented from the judg-
ment affirming the sentence against
Wiborg.

Il YOUNG GIRL DYING.
The Victim of Malpractice In Critical
Condition at the Springside Home.

The Victim of Malpractice In Critical
Condition at the Springside Home.
Florence Campbell, young woman
about twenty-four years old, is at the
Springside home suffering, 1t is alleged,
from an abortion. She was taken to
the home from a house on Meadow
street on Saturday. At that time she
was ill and has grown rapidly worse
until yesterday morning her condition
became such as to make it advisable to
have the girls antemortem statement,
and Coroner Mix was notified.
The girl, who had been told that her
condition was critical. said that Thorn
as Farrell, a motorman, was RESPONSE
bic for her ruin. She had applied to
two physicians for treatment, when she
became cognizant of her true condition,
and that she received medicine from
each of them She positively stated
that no operation had been performed
upon her. The names of the physicians
who prescribed for the girl are with
held from the public.
The authorities at Springside home
said last evening that there was no
hope of the young womans ultimate
recovery, and that 1t was probable that
she would not live until this morning.
The girl says that she came from
Chelsea, Mass, to this city. Her par
ents reside there and she has a sister
living here.
The young woman, whose real name
is Pearl LIE Court, was resting COM
fortably at 1:30 this morning, but there
is little possibility of permanent i'm
provement. Her father came to this
city last evening from Chelsea and he
watched by her bedside all night.

SUMTER RESORTS NOT opEs,
The Weather Has a Bad Effect ON th
Watering Places.

Stamford May 25.-The summer re-
sorts along the Long Island shore from
Greenwich to Westport were deserted
yesterday as result of the cold wave
of Saturday and Sunday, and many
families who had anticipated moving
! to their summer cottages to-day have
| postponed the event until next week,
hoping that the weather will grow
warmer in the meantime. From Green
wich comes the report that the beach
was deserted all day, only few of the
permanent residents being out. Most Of
the cottages still remain closed.
Glenbrook reports that but few sum-
mer boarders were to be seen Sunday,
while a week ago there were scores of
| them out. The same was true at Ship
| pan Point. there being no one at that
popular resort and not yacht to be
sen on the sound. The sky was lower
| ing all day, and the thermometer was
| ten degrees lower than for two weeks
preceding.
| At Noroton the streets were not so
| deserted. while the beaches near by
| were not totally bare of humanity. Oc-
\ casionally wanderers were seen, though
4 there We're few ladies out.
| Darien also adds to the tales of woe
4 of the restaurant proprietors and hotel
\ keepers, there being no one but cot
4 tagers down. and they all remained
within doors all day.
| Westport was under the bane of the
cold all day, and only for an hour in the
4 afternoon, when the sun shone for a
| time, were any of the cottagers to be
seen. Warmer weather is hoped for
\ by the hotel keepers, and most of the
\ cottages are expected to be populared in
4 two weeks. Already many small yachts,
| principally cat boats, have been en-
gagged for the summer at all these
\ places, and a gay season is anticipated
as soon as warm weather really settles

The Recommendations Adopted,

Saratoga, N. Y. May 25.-The general
assembly resumed its business sessions
to-day with the usual half hours de-
votional exercises. Moderator Withrow
appealed to the commissioners in the
assembly to strive during the coming
week to be harmonious. He based this
appeal upon the great number of tele-
grams which had come to him, urging
peace and harmony in the deliberations
of the assembly. He said that thirty
or forty such kilograms had been re-
ceived by him this morning and he de-
clared that if the week should pass
without a clash of opposing parties in
the assembly the church would be more
pleased thereat than with anything
else that could be done. The board of
freedmens report was considered and
recommendations in regard to it's work
adopted.
