Mfr. James B. Green is prominent club
man and lawyer. At his home, the Regent,
yesterday, he said:
The coming of Easter suggests to one
how few people are capable OF viewing the
resurrection of Christ from a legal stand
point. Around this point all Christian
truths center If this falls. all others
fall In weighing testimony five things
should be considered: Firstly, honesty
of the witness. Secondly, ability Of the
witness. Thirdly, conformity and num-
ber of witnesses. FoUrthIy, conformity
with personal experience; and, nfthIy,
conformity with cola teral facts OF the
witnesses, Matthe ", Mark, Luke and John.

vance such a doctrine and they were
liable to prosecution for doing So III
they were not honest they would not have
subjected themselves 70 such persecution
Under the second head ability Of the wit
ness-Luke was a physician, and should
have been accustomed to investigation and
study Matthew was tax collector, and
the other two were fishermen. In their
testimony they all give close attention to
details

witnesses: There were four witnesses
to a fact, and numerous others, which, in
any court of law. would be sufficient TO
prove a fact unless controyerted The
slight variation in the testimony only tends
to show that there was no colluson.
''Fourthly Conformity with personal ex-
perience: Our experience excludes miracles
Atheists say that miracles cannot occur,
because they are against the laws OF
nature. They say the Creator was sub
JeCt to these laws. The fallacy of this is
that if He were the Creator, He could not
make d law that He would be. subject 70.
It would imply u limita ton Of his power,
which is at variance with omnipotence

We all know that death was the penalty
for sleeping on post in those days They
would not make such a statement unless
they had promise Of remuneration

not punished. We hear in several in
stances Of their appearing before tribunals,
testifying against the probability or truth

Counterfeit Mileage Tickets.

Recently there appeared in Pittsburg, a
man giving the name of R. C. Lucas, ac-
companied by a woman calling herself Nay
Anderson, who attempted to dispose Of
counterfeit B. & o. Mileage Books. They
did succeed in selling some to the brokers,
and then dep parted for Cleveland, where
they registered at the American House asR
c. Lucas and wife.
In their efforts to dispose of the spurious
tickets, they aroused suspicious, which were
at once communicated to the B. & O.Agent,
who Immediately took such action as led
to the arrest and conviction of the woman,
who was found guilty of selling counterfeit
tickets, and sentenced to six months in the
work house, and to pay fine of $500 and
costs.
The man succeeded in making his escape,
but as he is known to the railroad people
and the police, his arrest is only question
of time.
The B. & O. officials have taken every
precaution to prevent the sale or use Of
these spurious tickets, and have expressed
q determination to prosecute to the fullest
extent Of law anyone caught attempting to
use counterfeit mileage or other bogus
forms Of transportation, and will be espec-
tally vigorous against brokers found offer
ing them for sale.

KENT COUNTY.

John G. Blizzard met with quite los
last Saturday evening when one of his
trotters, Helen r, cut her foot so badly that
she will be no more use as far as speed is
concerned. The horse was pasturing in a
lot back of the hotel. A dog came along
and commenced to bark at the young mare
This was kept up for few minutes until
the horse kicked at the dog: In doing SO
the horses hoof struck broken bottle and
the tendons were served. The horse was
brought up to the stable and the cuts exam
inedby Dr.Lambdin, but he could not guar.
antee that she would ever be able to tEpt
again. Mr.. Blizzard gave the horse to W.
81. Collins, who took her home and began
to doctor the injured animal. Helen r:
was three years old and has trotted in 2.20.
She was one of the most prominent young
sters in this vicinity and no doubt would
made something fast. Mr.. Blizzard refused
$400 for the horse few days ago.-Clayton
