his right arm outstretched over the
counterpart above the still slumber-
ing child At the sound of Solomon's
entrance, however, Mr.. Lorraine awoke
at once, rubbed his eyes, and looked
in dazed way around him; then his
eyes fell upon the infant, and his
face grew bright as sunshine.
"Bless me, meenister! Haze been
watching here a nicht?"
81 fell to Sleep" was the reply, "and
I was dreaming, Solomon, such bonny
dreams. I thought that I was up yon-
der among the angels, and that one
of them came to me with a face | we'll
remember-ah, SO bright!-and put a
little bairn-this bairn-into my arms
and then, as 1 held the pretty one, a
thousand voices sang an old Scotch
song, the Land o. the Leal' Dear me!
and it is nearly daybreak, sup
poser"
Solomon did not reply IN words, but,
pulling up the blind, showed the outer
world still dark, but trembling to the
first dim rays of wintry dawn, while
snow was thickly falling, and the gar
den was covered with a sheet of virgin
white. The minister rose shivering,
for the air was bitter cold; his limbs,
too were stiff and chilly.
'FWhats to be done now?" asked
Solomon, gloomily. II maun AVA an
flemish the grave, but Mysie will be
here at six"
II will watch until Mysie comes, !"
answered Mr.. Lorraine; then, bending
over the bed, he continued: "See, Solo
mon, my man, how soundly she sleeps,
and how pretty she looks"
Soloman grunted and moved toward
the door.
''Will / put on the parritch myseP?"
he demanded. Eye maun be wanting
something after sic night"
Nothing, nothing. Go on to the
kirkyard''
An hour later, when the old woman
appeared, having let herself in by a
key at the back door, she was at once
apprised of the situation. Having
learned by old habit to keep her
thoughts to herself, and being of kind
ly disposition, and the mother of a
large grownup family, she at once,
without questioning, entered upon her
duties as nurse. The child having
Weakened, crying, she took it up in her
arms and hushed it upon her bosom,
where it soon became still; then, pass
ing to the kitchen. she warmed some
new milk, and fed it with spoon.
By this time day had broken, ana
when he had seen the child comfort
ably cared for, the minister put on his
cloak and walked forth to make in
quiries.

Church.

City Solicitor Conrad In Grace Church
last evening talked on the subject Voices
of the Past" which was intensely interest.
ing. Chief Justice Lore presided at the
meeting.
MIR. Conrad said that 1t has been 800
years since the first white man set foot Oh
the soil of Wilmington. OF all the people
who camo to this country from across the
Atlantic there were no more industrious
and religious people than the Swedes.
They built fort, set up church aud wor.
shippcd God. 1t was sixty years after that
when the next church WINS erected, and It
will be 200 years next summer since Old
Swedes Church WAS dedicated The motto
of the Swedes, formed in letters of Iron on
the church, was: III God be with us, who
can be against us" Following that and
putting their trust in God, they began
their work for salvation without fear or
trembling.
In l74O, the next church, Presbyterian
edifice, at Tenth and Market streets. was
erected; forty five years later the Baptist
church Oh King street back of the Court
House. was built. and four years later In
1889, the first Methodist Episcopal Church
was established aud built. Methndism
came to America in 1865 and in 1863 the
first Methodist missionary appeared in
Delaware. He was Thomas Webb, cap
tub DElblsH lAo was u UoIu
evangelist, who attracted the attention of
multitudos and q few years after there
came Francis Asbury, a young man aged
60
Late in the fall OF l77l he came to Amer
lea, ana the rest Of his life was spent In
this country. He preached in this city in
loss than month nster he landed In Phila-
delphia. Wilmington then was not con.
sidercd good field for Methodsm . Fran.
ces Asbury made Delaware his home.
Mr. Conrad spoke Of Asbury's work in
revolutionary times, when no was sheltered
by Judge Henry White In Kent county.
He was prosecuted nearly as the old dis.
ciples were, but he remained here. and it
was not until 1915, whea he died in Viz
g;nia He was u great preacher. and or.
ganizer, and represented moro than Webb
did. He was chosen bishop.
Mr.. Conrad said he was glad that when
the first Methodist church was built in
Wilmington, IL wis called Asbury Church
TWAS built in 1880, twenty years after
Captain Webb made his first exhortation.
When Francis Asbury laid the corner
stone of Asbury Church he said: Thus

ter Union Church, then Mt Salem, Scott

The World Q Best News.

Washington, Oct 3l.-Two cons! ructlons
are nut upon the rccent order OF Genoraa
Blanco that the Spanish troops In Cuba
shall not be discharged, but shall first 70
to spain and receive their pay:
This cancels tho previous order or OctS-
her 4, saying that such Spaniards as doAir-
cd could remain in Cuba Should tbs
troops choose to return under this lator or
dor to Spain, it would give the Spanlards
nretext for asking longer time for eyaou-
ntion, which may DO their desire.
On the other hand 1t is urged by high
Wor Depart,nent official that the cause Of
this order lis in the inability Of Blanco
Ia nav them and In the hope, therefore,
that they would desert and thereby relieve
lhe Spanish Government Of further obli-
cations.

MRS. B0TKIN !,
NOT GUILTY.
Delaware Authorities Will
Not Act Until After
She is Tried.

San Francisco, October 30.-Mrs. Corde.
liza Botkin was formally arraigned in Jus.
tice Carroll Cooks Court yesterday upon
tho indictment found by the Grand Jury
charging her with the murder Of Mrs.
John P. Dunning Of Dover, Del. Objeo-
ton was made to the document. Mrs,
Boskin pleaded not guilty, and by consent
her ease went over until Saturday next
The Attorney General Of Delaware has
instructed Detective McVey to employ an
q, torney to get tho Botkin case into the
Uaitcd States Supreme Court, and writ
Of habeas corpus will be applied for by
McVey In the Distsict or Circuit Court.
Should tho application be denied, an mp.
peal will be taken to the United States
Supreme Court.
There Is only one possible obstacle to
such course. The District Court or Cir.
cult Court which denied application, may
also refuse to allow an appeal. Such re-
fusal Is very rare, and was held by Judge
Sawyer, to be beyond tho power of the low
or Court in habeas coapus, but District
aud Circuit Courts lately refused to per.
init Durrantto appeal. They took the
ground that the request for leave to APP
peal was friviou-, and made with intent
to hinder and delay the course OF justice.
Tho Delaware nuthoritieswill do nothing
more with the case until the coming trial
Is finished, except to aid the California
authorities all they can by sending wit
nesses or any other information they have
In their possession. 1t is not likely that
either Attorney General White or his depu.
ty, Mr.. Cooper, will 60 to San Francisco
to assist In the prosecution, as they both
believe that the case could not be In more
able hands than those of District Attorney
Hosmer of that city.
II the case comes to trial some witnesses
from this state will have to go, but they
will hardly be sent for until 1t Is known
what will become OF the Indictment, II
Mrs. Butkin's attorneys move to Quash it
or file II demurrer to 1t, those motions will
probably be argued some date prior to the
time sat for the trial. If the indictment
is quashod 1t will be unnecessary to have
the w!tnesse, 60 from here and the State
of Delaware will then take the case to the
Supreme Court.
Should Mrs. Botkin's trial take place In
California three, If not more, witnesses
will have to 60 from this State to testify.
Tho three will probably be ex-Congress-

Whether or not any others will bs rsquir-
ed cannot DO stated at present 1t is
thought by SONS that State Chemist
Wolfe might have to go to testify to what
he found In the candy, but as the candy
has been examined in San Francisco and
found to contain arsenic. the expert In that
city will be the only one required 10
testify to what the candy contained. Its
also expected that John p. Dunning, the
husband Of one OF the victims, will also
have to go to testify to his relations with
Mrs. Botkin and also supply the motive
for murder.
