made an impression on the people. He
has shown them that he is sincere, cour-

Albany Herald: The Herald rejoices in
the defeat of Secretary Smith and the
cause he represented, but candor compels
us to say that he made a gallant fight. We
like a hard fighter who meets his adver-
sary in the open and cannot be driven to
the point Of doing an unfair or unmanly
thing. Mr.. Smith came into the state as
the champion of President Cleveland ana
his financial policy, and he came in the
attitude of a man who was conscious of
the righteousness of his cause. He was
open TO all corners, and met the ablest
champions of free coinage in joint debate
In only one instance, we believe, did ne
decline to meeeC an advocate of free coin
age in joint debate, and that was when an
effort was made to put a mud-slinging
demagogue on him. While we differ with
Mr.. Smith on the great political issue of
the day, and are gratified at the result
of the campaign In this state, we can do
him the justice to say that he has made
a strong fight and shown himself TO be
one of the ablest men in the country.
The Herald can admire such a man, even
though he be a political adversary.

Saturday night County Clerk Curry, his
deputy, Harry Piper, Frank Corbett of
the San Francisco Undertaking Company,
Harry Corbett and several others were in
Coghlin's saloon. They talked politics
and other things and played shuttle board.
About IL clock johnnie Kinney and a
friend, ]. M. Ferris, silver platter who
lives out in the Potrero, left the saloon to
go home. Kinney drank little periodi-
cally, and was somewhat under the infu-
ence of liquor when Ferris left him at
Third and Howard streets, about 11:30
o'clock. Ferris says the last he saw of
Kinney was when the latter walked across
the street toward the Roster lodging

roomed.

down Mission or Howard streets from
Third to the wharf.
On the other hand Michael w. Kinney,
the dead mans brother, says he carried
from SIS to $50 in purse. When the body
was recovered only 2 cents were in the
pockets anu the purse was missing.
Jack Marshall, hack driver, throws a
little more mystery into the case by max
Ing the staten ent that he saw Kinney
around the ferries at o'clock yesterday
morning. But if that is 80 how did the
watch get filled with water at 1907 in the
morning, his friends would like to
know.
There also appears to be woman in the
case. She is OF known to have been with
Kinney Saturday night. She is blonde
and iair. Friday morning she went to
the ferries to meet some friends. They
failed to appear, and Kinney took her
home in his carriage and made her ac-
quaintance.
He told several OF his friends among the
hack-drivers that he had an engagement
with the woman Saturday night and that
she seemed to be lady. 1t is not known
whether he kept this engagement or not.
Kinney was always well dressed and was
rather good-looking fellow. He was
about AZ wears of age and was born in Wis.,
consin. He roomed with his brother. The
circumstances so far as known were re-
ported to Captain Lees and he put Detec-

Saturday night, about two hours earlier
than usual.
1t was also learned by CALL reporter
that Kinney had drink about 7 O'clock
with STRANGER at Ackerson's saloon at
Third and Howard. The bartender was
not able to give description of this man.
The autopsy on the body, performed by
DR.. Charles L. Morgan, demonstrated the
fact that the lungs were full of water and
that the immediat cause of death was

DIVINE REMEDY FOR SIN
Text of the Sermon by the Rev. DR.
Spaulding.

Text of the Sermon by the Rev. Dr.
Spaulding.
The Rev. DR.. Spaulding's sermon in st.
Johns Episcopal Church yesterday was
upon 'Sin, Its Consequences and the Di-
vine Remedy" The healing OF the man
with palsy suggested the subject. The
rector called attention to the fact that the
Lords answer to the palsied man, "Thy
sins be forgiven thee,' would be meaning
less unless sin was the cause of the disease,
and then dwelt upon the physical and
m oral results of sin. He said that there is
the slow suicide of bad habits and OF evil
pa ssions as well as the sudden ending OF
life by pistol or poison. The moral re-
suits, he said, are still more dreadful in a
lowered tone OF living in the conscious
ness of being apart from God. which
means gwretched rest.essness. Forgive
mess of sins of which the Master left the
privilege in his church to speak for him
is the only cure for this wretcheo restless
ness.
