and produced as evidence his seer
tifcate" OF deacons orders signed by
Bishop J. c. Keener, at Mayfield, Ky"
Dec. 4th, 1892 Upon this representation
he secured from different parties 500.
At Columbia he represented himself
to Rev. y. L. Davis, pastor Of the First
Baptist Church, rs Baptist preacher
stating that his home was Adams
vile, West Tennessee, and that he sup
piled as pastor of the Baptist Church at
Forest City, Ark, for eight months dur
ing the year 1895, and that he had since
been engaged i'm evangelistic work.
That he was now on his way from
aiding pastor in Quinn meeting at
a country church in North Ala. to Nash
! vile, where he was to confer with Or. "A,
j. Holt about work during the summer.
He said he had not been ordained but

Said Stanley wanted to spend Sunday
in Columbia, and upon these papers and
representations, he was invited to oc-
cupy the pulpit at the Baptist Church
last Sunday night. But he tried TO

from varisous persons and it was
soon discovered that something was
wrong" He was asked to explain
himself to the committee, and being
pressed very hard for facts, he confessed
that he had lied about the whole mat
ter and acknow lodged that he had been
expelled both from the Memphis Con-
ference of the NJ. f. Church, South, and

Hotter, Hotter, Hotter, Grows the Sun
Hundreds Dying Daily.
This unprecedented hot spell is
furnishing the daily papers with one
of its largest items of news. In half
columns of startling head lines, and
from two to three columns daily,
they tell of the awful havoc of the
heat among men and beast. The
fatalities are almost equal to that
of plague in the great cities. Mon
day, New York reported 1888 deaths (;
Chicago, AZ; Baltimore, II; Phil
adelphia, II; st. Louis, IL. Tues
day, New York and Brooklyn re-
ported over200, and so in the various
large cities the death rate is
enormous. But even this does not
measure by great deal the suffer
ing of the people. Prostrations are
| innumerable and many are actually
driven insane by the extreme heat.
Tuesday morning at Chicago, TWEEN
7 ty-eight persons had been locked up
in the detention hospitals, all OF
whom had been driven crazy by the
heat.
Horses fall like leaves before an
autumnal frost. The Mayor OF
Chicago has issued an order guaran-
teeing $40 a head to all who will
