sents membership of 2 500,O 900, and a
ministry of II 900, from 140 annual confer
ences. It is the supreme law making and
judicial body of the church. The admis-

NOTES FROM THE oorvrsrrox.

NOTES FROM THE CONVENTION.
1t having been our privilege to attend the
New Castle County Convention of the w.
G. T. U. held in Wilmington, on the oath
ult we feel like bringing word of en-
engagement to our sisters of the Middle
town Union. who may feel some what dis
couraged in the work of the past year
While our Uuion had not SO favorable q
report as some others, represented in the
Convention. 1t should only be an incentive
to us to awaken out Of our lethargy, to a
sense of personal responsibility in the
work. For there is work for each one Of
us. We can all do something for the Mas
ter. Let us dear "White Ribbon women
put on the whole armor of God, and fight
harder for God and Home and Native
Land, in the year before us, than in any
Of the past years. Our membership is only
%. Let US each strive to increase the num-
Der. Let us deny ourselves needless lux
uries. and put what we can In the Lords
Treasury. Let US all attend the next meet
ing of the w. c. T. o. and make new plans
of work, and each one pay heavy fine If
she can find no work. Obi dear friends
the fine is very heavy now, in the shape of
aims houses, jails penitentiaries and insane
asylums..
We were much interested in the able di-
gest Of the Scientific Temperance Educa-
ton" in the schools of Wilmington, given
by Mrs. Milligan. They have Temperance
Jubilees, prizes are given for the best Tenn
perance Essays. $97 in gold we're used in
this way the past year. OF course the
children agitate the question in their homes
getting fathers and mothers and the whole
family connection thinking hard on the
temperance question. This is the line In
which parents and teachers can work In
unison and sympathy.

words Of Miss Mary Thompson, of Delaware

Celebrated Arson Case Buffeted Around
this Different Courts.
Abilene. Texas. March district court
convened here today. There was but
one criminal case on the docket. That
was the celebrated ease against DIR. j. w.
Hayes for arson, Some three years ago
Jones county, was destroyed by fire be-
lioved 20 have been tho work of incen-
diaries This was followed by the very
sensational arrest of DIR. Hayes. a prom
inent physician OF Jones county as one
of the principals in the crime. The story
of how his house was guarded all night
by a posse of armed men before the ar
rest will be remembered by many. The
case was transferred from Jones to Fisher
county and n number OF lawyers yolun-
teerod their services for the prosecution,
among them Ed j. Hammer now dis
u hung Jury. Afterward Judge Hummer
being disqualified TO sit In the case trans
ferred II to this county TO be tried before
Judge Connor When the case was called
today the defendants attorneys filed IA
motionf to dismiss on the ground that
Judge Hammer had no authority to send
tho case here on account of his disquali.
hcatlon.
Judge Connor sustained this motion in
far as to order the case sent back TO
Fisher county. Thus the matter is sus.
pended In mld-air so TO speak II Is
said that when tho case is called IN IN
Fisher county defendants attorneys will
move to strike from the docket on In
ground that Judge Common, never having
acquired iurIsiiction in the case. could
only dismiss II and not transfer IL back
TO Fisher county. II is one of the most
noted cases in this part OF the State.
ana though some time has elapsed since
1t was first instituted. there is still no lack
of interest.
