HoI<e Smith Has Sent Out Man to

(Special b The HeraldO

Especial TO The Herald.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 29.-Con-
gresham MandelI. of Wyoming, is happy
because Secretary Smith has sent In
spector Mclaughlin out to Shoshone res
ervation, in his state. to see what terms
can be made with the Shoshone Indians
for the sale of tract of land known as
the Big Horn Hot Springs.
The springs are situated in the CEN
ter of a tract about ten miles square"
said Mr. Mandell, land their virtues are
known to everyone for hundreds of miles
around. They are $50 miles from the
railroad, but people travel this distance
with great discomfort in order to avail
themselves of the curative powers of
the waters. We hope to get the govern
ment to buy these springs and make
them another great resort like Hot
Springs, Arkansas. When this is done,
the Burlington and the Northwestern
road will both run tracks to the reser-
walton and thousands and thousands of
people will be benefited"

Sunday. May 10th, Hon. John Mitch

was seen in the western section. They
were often stopped and soon a large
crowd Of people would gather around
the hack to speak TO the woman and
congratulate Mr.. Mitchell on his sue

honor to the Richmond Daily Tines
and the PLANET, long may they live
and have thousands of good paying
subscribers. Let the people rally to
the support of these fearless Journals ;
but for their untiring efforts in behalf
of the innocent, there is no doubt that
they would now be into eternity. God
bless them and let all the people cry
amen.
Many of our young girls are allowed
too much privilege at night often see
them strolling the streets alone or two
or three together. They stop young
men and ask them for treats and to
escort them on a walk. This is wrong.
Parents should not permit their girls
to do such.
If a young man do not appreciate a
young lady enough to call at her par
ent's residence and take her out she
should stay at home at night and read
the scriptures or some other good book
to their parents, look after her lessons
or learn something that is useful that

exemplified in any trial recorded in
the annals of Virginia's Jurisprudence
than in the statement of Pokey Barnes,
who was put on the stand in her own
behalf by the defence this afternoon.
Her voice rang clear and distinct
through the room, and each ear was
strained to catch her every word, as in
mes sured tones, never faltering nor
tripping, she accounted for her every
movement on the 14th day of June
1895, from the rising of the sun until
the going down thereof.
If she were acting part the lumi-
nous lights of the stage would do well
to learn of her.
And her evidence had it's effect.
Many who believed her guilty now
proclaim that she is innocent. The
officers of the court declare that they
have never witnessed more impress
i've scene nor heard more convincing
testimony. The day all through has
been a good one for the prisoner, and
up to this point nothing conclusive has
been adduced as to her guilt.

Expressions of Sympathy

The expressions of sympathy for the
Publication Society that were received
from Baptists in all parts of the coun-
try after the calamitous fire of Febru-
ary End, have borne legitimate fruit III
substantial orders for Sunday School
supplies. The circulation of the Quar-
terly Helps for the second quarter in
creased one hundred and ninety two
thousand copies. There has also been
a great increase in the demand for IL
braries and other requisites.
If the schools will continue to re-
member their own Sunday School So
ciety, and take their own literature in
preference to undenominationa helps,
it will very materially aid the Society
to recover from it's serious loss The
best is none too good for Baptists, and
it's sunday School helps, as we'll as the
books it is publishing for the Sunday
School and the home, are universally
acknowledged to be the best publish.
