TERRIBLE WRONG RIGHTED.
An Old Montana Couple Pardoned
 From the Penitentiary.

HELENA, Mont, Dec. 1S.-This evening Governor Richards granted an unconditional pardon to Mr. and Mrs. Edward Clarke, who are serving a 17-year term each in the Deer Lodge penitentiary for the murder of John F. Stewart, who resided near MissOula, by poisoning. The couple have spent about year in the penitentiary, and would probably have served out their sentences unless death nitervened, had not a confession by another party caused Governor Richards to take the step he has.
 MT. Stewart was a wealthy man and the trial of the Clarkes attracted wide attention. Suspicion at first pointed to Mrs. Mary Stewart, wife of the dead man, and daughter of Mrs Clarke, as the murderer. She was arrested in Spokane, Wash, and brought to Mis- soula, where the trial was held. To save herself she committed perjury in the witness stand and caused the con- viction of her mother and step-fathe1 of the crime of murder in the second degree.
 The daughter testified against hel old mother, who was at this time un able to prove her innocence, and saw her sentenced to what would probably have been her living tomb, without apparently any feeling. Remorse a what she had done finally was tot much for her and she confessed to hay ing sworn falsely on the witness stand Sha confessed in tho nrnSnncn Of thi attorney for her parents, and after ward to ex-Governor P. K. Toole o this city. She agreed to sign state ment clearing her mother and step father, but before she did so commit ted suicide Governor Richards, b, his pardon, attempts to right ter rible wrong. He has reviewed care fully all the evidence in the matte and has come to the conclusion tha they should be free.

A MISSING BOOKKEEPER.
Harry L. Smith Left Aspen With
 Money of Other People.

ASPEN, Colo, Dec 18.-The busi- ness community was treated to a sen sation this morning when it was cur rently reported that Harry L. Smith, for several months bookkeeper for the Mollie Gibson and Argentum Mining companies, had left Aspen on Sunday night, taking with him something like S700 or $500 of other peoples money. The matter was placed in the hands of the authorities and telegrams sent in all directions Smith was traced as far as Glenwood Springs. There he purchased a sleeping car ticket for Denver, but later he cashed the ticket in and then dropped out of sight.
 While the officers of the mining company decline to state how much of their money Smith carried away with him, it is thought to be in the neighborhood of $350 or $4O0. In the safe in the Gibson office was $275 be- longing to the Aspen Dry Goods con- pany, which had been placed there on Saturday night. This money is also missing.
 Smith came here last July from Sol omonville, Arizona, where he was an under sheriff and at one time employed in the big merchandise store of Sol omon Bros Prior to his residence in Solomonville he was bookkeeper fol the Arizona Copper Mining company al Clifton, in that territory.

iHE GOSPEL TRUTH, D. A. Strong Will Bo
 Able to PreacR1s
HIS EXPERIENCE ONE OF
 UNUSUAL INTEREST.

For the good of humanity and tha praise of God, MT. D. A. Strong, of South Manchester, Conn, tells his re- markable experience. Ho Is native of Connecticut, and had been preach- ing the gospel and teaching through. out that State for thirty years, until about six years ago, when his health became so poor that he had to give up both. He was advised to try outdoor work, and went to live on little farm in South Manchester. He says: "A few weeks ago I had no faith in any medicine or in any doctor. My trouble was said to be epilepsy, but have always thought that indigestion, to- gether with constipation, were the causes of all my suffering, for in my family there has never been case of epilepsy or fits of any kind.
 "About five years ago, while eating breakfast, was suddenly taken with ldiutuces. M y hCao AOih buSht "Iiu was carried unconscious to my room and put to bed. This continued at intervals, until had about given up hope. I tried everything, at least everything that was recommended to me, and aside from tho kind dealings of a loving Heavenly Father, received no help. I even tried electricity, but in spite of it all I was not able to leave the house, and it seemed as though I must give up entirely.
 "One day, my wife, noticing the Puritana advertisement, called my attention to it. As it seemed to meet my case, I concluded to try it. I did so, and firmly believe that God sent me Puritana, for 1t has performed wonders.
 "To.day I am working in the field, and can eat and sleep as of old. I am convinced that in short time I shall be able once more to preach Gods word, which has been my de- sire ever since my afflictfon.
 q wish to add that there is no medicine in she world that I would take to-day outside of Puritana."

should be so, Who can preach to an intelligent set of people for ten years and not give them all his thought? They know about how the heads will arrange themselves when the text is announced Love and duty and poor memories avail something, but the keen, living interest felt in the early thought, in the fresh tones, in the un- familiar personality, no longer exists, and he breaches to the pillars and to persis and her fellow laborers. The people drift away to other churches, or stay at home, or by their indifference force the pillars to change the preach CT despite the tears of Persis. It is done very handsomely, with laudatory and justly deserved resolutions and golden tokens of respect on which might be read, A good preacher, but unable to hold the church.
 This is the process which is going on all the while in our churches-a process that Is full of heart break and humiliation on one side and sorrowing perplexity on the other side. The pill lars are not to blame: if the people will not come to hear the preacher they llluSt leL illill So. IAHlply peWS, uuli hearers, are harder to face than coun- cils for dismissal.
 "There is nothing like this in any other department of human society. The good teacher, the capable foreman, the tried and efficient superintendent, is everywhere retained unless his work deterlorates It is not so in the minis try. There is not one minister in a hundred who does not improve as pas tor and preacher every year until his head is gray, if not white, but statistics show that he is not wanted by the same church for a longer period than an average of five or six years.
 What is the reason?
 'The reason is that the whole con- duct and life of the church is made to turn on the sermon.
 "The church is treated as an institu- ton for preaching and hearing ser mons. The center of the church is a pulpit. The edifice itself is called a | church. It is an auditorium-seats to hold listeners, and pulpit to hold a | speaker Everything else is an ad- l junct, and is relatively unimportant Only small fraction of those forming the church have any other conception l of or any other relation to the church | than as provision for preaching and | hearing sermons,

The state convention of New York
Republicans was held in New York
City. The only incident to enlivcn
the convention was an attempt by a
minority of the nomination committee
to commit the delegates to the ma
tional convention to Mckinley if it
was found that Morton's chances were
knocked out on the first ballot. 1t
was "a Morton convention. however,
and the delegates selected were out
and-out Morton men. The delegates
at-largc: are Thos. c. Platt, of Tioga:
Warner Miller, of lIerlimer: Chauncey
NJ. Depew. of New York. and Edward
Lauterbach. The platform declares in
favor of protection and reciprocity.
In speaking of the money question, it
saws:
We recognize in the movement for the free
coinage of silver an attempt to degrade the
long established standard OF our monetary sys-
tenn and hence blow to public and private
credit. Cntll there Is u prospect of interna-
tiOnnl agreement as To silver coinage, and
while gold remains the standard OF the United
states and the civilized world. we declare in
favor OF the urn and honorable maintenance OF
that standard.
The platform concluded with az:
culogistic statement of Gov. Morton $
fitness for the presidential chair. and
pledges the New York delegation to
his interest.
