Mr.. Knights Lecture.

Last night when Rev. J. H. Wood
in q few appropriate remarks, intro.
duced Rev. P. S. Knight, the speaker
was greeted with. hearty applause
from a large audience that had as
sembled to listen to that gifted gentle.
men, expecting to listen to many gems
of original thought, and their expecta-
| tions We're fully realized. As prelude
to his remarks, Mr.. Knight stated that
he was under the necessity of Offering
an apology in advance, owing to case
of mistaken identity that had occurred
in Portlund hotel, just prior to his
leaving that city. He had in his "grip"
a carefully prepared paper on the sub.
jact "The Practical Idealist," which
he had contemplated reading to his
audience here, but the hotel clerk had
failed to identify his ''grip" and had
given him another similar in appear
ance, but the mistake was not dis
covered until Mr.. Knight arrived here,
hence, with his prepared lecture a
hundred miles away, he was compelled
to handle his subject extemporane-
ously. This he did in an able and
pleasant manner.
Mr.. knights belief is that there is
more of the ideal than the real in this
world; in fact, that with the majority
life is idealistic; that things are not
what they seem, and that the real will
not be fully known until we have
passed to that higher life beyond where
we shall know as we are known"
where the idealistic veil will be re-
and we shall see all things as
they really are. In substant tiation of !
this belief the speaker depicted many |
stances of Imagination and de- |
ception that enter into the life of the .
idealists, that enable him to pass by I
the events Of the present and look far
into the realities of the future, where
be believes all truth will be known.
While Mr.. Knights theories are not
generally accepted, his manner of ex-
preston makes them seem plausible.

A Shaving Machine

Shaving a man in twenty-five Sec
onds is feat deserving OF praise by all
such as value their time. The feat has
been rendered easy of performance by
the construction of shaving machine
of wood, reported to have been made
by Melchoir Farkas, convict in the
penitentiary of the city of Szegedin,
in Hungary. Farkas was put to labor
in. The cabinet making shop of the pris-
on, and, taking to his work with a
will, he soon displayed great inventive
ingenuity. With his machine he is
said to have shaved all the inmates of
the prison, nearly $50 In number, with
in less than an hours time. The re-
port fails to state, however, to what
extent the shaving by machinery did
or did not succeed in giving comfort
to the sufferer in the chair.

City Marshal Blakeney is as happy
today as if he had met a long lost
friend, and in fact he has, not human

lost one day last August, and which he
had dgiven up as gone. J. NJ. Munson,

out the Vogt block. found the bill
among the debris this morning and
returned it to the owner. The bill,
though it had been exposed to the
elements over six months, was not
materially damaged. Mr.. Blakeney
lost it one windy day last August while
hurrying down the street to make an
arrest, and the wind had carried it
into the ruins where it had lain ever
since.

y LYNCHING PROBABLE.
n Maryland Negro Commits a Horrible
Crime in Prince George County.


Crime in Prince George County.
Washington, July ga coroner's
jury to- day found James Smith, the negro
waiter, guilty of the murder last night
of Marguerite Drown, ut Seat Pleasant,
large country boarding house, about
eight miles from Washington, in Prince
George county, and late developments in
the case have added-so much horror to
the crime that there are numerous
threats of another Maryland lynching as
soon as convenient opportunity occurs.
The negro made two confessions, partly
contradictory, but each admitting the
murder. In his first confession. he said
that he had cut Miss browns throat
with knife yesterday, because she re-
Jected advances he had made TO her
again. In his second confession he de-
MED that he had outraged as we'll as
murdered her yesterday, but also stated
that he had gone to her room for the pur-
pose of making advances to her, and had
been repulsed, and had choked her into
Inconsistencies, and then had procured
IL knife from the kitchen and killed her.
The doctor who performed the autopsy
said that the examination of the body
showed that the girl first had been
Knocked down and rendered unconscious
by a blow on the forehead, that she had
then been outraged and later killed by

lar VEIN
The jury promptly returned its verdict
in accordance with this evidence. The
negro servants about the place were held
IN custody on suspicion that they knew
more of the affair than disclosed in their
testimony.
