Committee,

After the adoption of the resolutions
Prof J. E. Ray, principal of the Insti-
tuition for the Deaf. and Dumb and of
the Blind Of North Carolina, rendered in
the sign language, that beautiful and
Impressive hymn, "Nearer My God to
Thee" while the vast audience sang the
words amid tears and sadness and of
joy-sadness at the terrible accident a
Dove referred to, and of joy that we can
worship God in sign language also, for
~Day unto day uttereth speech and night
anto night showeth knowledge for there
is no speech nor language where his
voice is not heard"
At 1890 Mr.. e. e. Hilliard, of Scot
land Neck, talked on "The Honor and
Opportunity of the Superintendent He
said that the superintendent was an inn
portant person in the Sunday School,
and in the community. The honor of
the superintendent was not meaningless
one, but meant much, and ought to be
given because the church and Sunday
School believe that in him are the quail
fications for the work given to him, and
is one Of peculiar significance in his wor-
ship of God. 1t is givenbecause of con-
fdence in him, in his purity of life, in
his leadership, and in conservation to
God. 1t is not given simply as COM
pliment, but because Of the faith in those
behind them that their leadership win
be good. 1t is not given as a place of
rest, or of the retired. He is honored
in the esteem of his fellow-workers, and
honored by Him who counted John
on Patmos worthy to receive honor and
power and dominion forever. 1t bears
specific trust, as sacred as the ministry
itself, and it behooves him to guard it
with his sacred honor and life. The
superintendent opportunity is co-equal
with God, and goes hand in hand with
honor. Opportunity, alone never has,
never will, never can accomplish any
thing alone, but must be met with a
strong right arm of sonsecration to God.
For 80 or 40 minutes this eloquent son
of Eastern North Carolina held the vast
audience of 1000 people spell bound as
they listened to his eloquent and burn
ing words as he exalted the office, made
a reality the opportunity, and enobled the
honor of the superintendent.

HAMMoND's TREATMENT
Was Not More Brutal Than he
Deserved

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-The military court
of inquiry. which has been investigating
the alleged brutal treatment of Pri-
vate Hammond at Fort. Sheridan on
October 9Th, concluded the taking of tes-
timony this evening. Today's testi-
mony is yet to be tabulated. The court
will then write an opinion on the case,
which will be sent to General Brooke,
commandant of the Department Of the
Missouri. General Brooke will forward
the report to the war department at
Washington, and its contents may pos
sibly never become public. The testi
mony today corroborated reports of
methods used in enforcing the presence
of the obstreperous prisoner before the
summary court of October t5h. Ham
mond's injuries were, however, belittled
by the officers who testified. Major
Lppincott, post surgeon, swore that the
wounds were of no mportance-mere
abrasions.
Colonel Hail. post comma ndant, testi-
fed that he was told Of the proceedings
in detail, and he approved of the meth
DDS adopted. The prisoner, he said
was a mutnous deserter and it was
necessary for military discipline that he
should be compelled to appear before the
court. Captain Lowering, an officer OF
high standing and good judgment, saw
that he must not acknowledge himself
ruled by private.

WHEEL TALK
President Potter Still Strongly op-
poses Sunday Racing


NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The Herald
says: President Potter OF the L. A. w.
has declared himself upon one Of the
most momentous questions that have
confronted that organization and upon
which up to the present time he has
maintained a sphinx-like silence.
The declarations were called forth by
question asked him concerning the
secession movement and Sunday racing
on the Pacific. Coast. Mr.. Potter put
| himself on record, s.s strongly disap-
proving of bicycle racing on Sunday
either throughout the Union or in any
particular State. Personally, he said
he might not object to racing being held
on Sunday in California, but the senti-
ment of wheelmen and wheelwomen in
the league must be respected, and that
sentiment he knew to be overwhelming
ly against Sunday racing. He had con-
sidered suggestions and proposals to
grant local option in the matter, but
was convinced that such plan was not
feasible. The only way out of the diff
ficulty, to his mind, IS for wheelmen in
all States to fight for the Saturday half
holiday, in order that all important cy
cling events can be run off on that day.
When asked whether the recognition
Of the Coast associated clubs by the
Canadian Wlieelmen's Association
would cause strained relations between
the latter body and the l.. A. W., he re-
piled that he could not see that is would.
The league, he says, has no fight against
the G. A. c. c., all the fighting being or
the part of the Coast organization He
intimated that it is better for the c. A.
G. c. to promote Sunday racing to sat
isfy the discontented element in Califor-
MIA than for the California division of the
L. A. w. to be in continual squabble
with all the elements composing it, but
he was unequivocally opposed to the
league taking any kind of part in sane
tioning Sunday racing.

I've killed my baby" She was seized
