ASKED TO RESIGN FROM BENCH. Judge Dellenbaugh of Cleveland
 Guilty of cfUnprof.ssionaIC Conduct.

Cleveland, O.. April 16.-The Cleve- land Bar association adopted resolu- tions requesting Judge Frank F. Del lenbaugh to resign from the bench of the common pleas court. The resolu- tions refer to the recent sensational trial of Judge Dellenbaugh and State Senator Vernon Burke, on the charge of unprofessional conduct in the Man. ming divorce case and to the fact that Judge Dellenbaugh was found guilty by the circuit court and sentenced to dlsbarment. Judge Dellenbaugh said last night that he would not resign, but would follow the advice of his counsel. The association also adopted a resolution promising, with the view of taking the electing of judges out of practical politics, to select the candi- dates whom it will favor by asking the preferences of all members. The resolution pledges the members to support the candidates by the association and to oppose all others. A con- mittee will be appointed to carry out the plan.

TRIiL OF MRS. GEORGE.
A Missing Witness, it. is Said, Will
 Testify TO-day.

Canton, O., April 16.-It is now the expectation of the state that the direct testimony against Mrs. George will be concluded by the time court adjourns
 tomorrow evening. There is rumor afloat that Mrs. Althouse, the missing witness, wanted by both sides is in the city and will be a central figure in a sur prise party tomorrow but this cannot be substantiated. The defense will occu- py more than a week in submitting it's testimony. Attorneys for the defense say they will not until the state has closed, outline the full scope of the tes- timony they will introduce. The cross examination so far has suggested little more than a chain of grievances on the part of the accused against Saxton and the state claims this is not without ad- vantage to their side because it estab- fishes a motive. The attorneys for the defense say Mrs. George may go on the stand herself

THEE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING co

from voting We would have an anarchy and every man should realize that he contributes to this kind of a result when he refrains from voting. It is the duty of citizen, when he sees that man is corrupt, to lash him, vote him down. He is your enemy; he is an enemy of your country. Now that the American people are face to face with this problem of governing the people of the newly acquired territory, l want to see them take it up bravely, manfully and make it success. We have no use for pessimists who are al- ways seeing that everybody is dishon- est about politics and everything else. The people are not all selfish. It is a pretty good sort of a world"
 Senator Hawlev then spoke in high terms of the ideas expressed by Pro- lessor Woolsey in his recent lecture in Philadelphia. He referred to the Yan- kee "meetins" at which public ques- tions are disposed of and entrusted with that system the methods of Fili- pinos and other peoples who en- deavor to settle questions of pub- lie importance by instructions He prophesied that in future years the Filipincs would be educated to our ideas and suggested that at some fu- ture time they might be holding genu- inc Yankee 'meetlns. He closed his ad- dress by reading from the speech made by President Mckinley in Boston not long ago.

ANOTHER MTSTERYOUS FIRE. Stock of II. Kugel Destroyed
 YeHtertlnY.

Mysterious fires seem to be the rule of
 late, The one shortly before 1 o'clock
 yesterday comes in that category and
 it's origin will probably never be known
 As usual no one can be found who saw
 the start and there was no knowledge
 on the part of anyone as to the pres
 ence of anything that might have been
 the cause. An alarm from box IS, cor
 ner Broad and Oak street, called sev
 eral companies of the fire department to a building at 33 Oak street. owned by M.
 Pasheslinsky. The lower floor was oc-
 cupied by H. Kugel who conducted a furniture store. MT. Kugel and family lived on the second floor while J. Block and family occupied the third floor.
 When the firemen arrived they found the store a seething mass of flames with black smoke pouring out in great vol umes. Ten minutes work extinguished the flames, but this was not before the entire stock of furniture was a total loss and some of the articles of house. hold furniture on the second floor had been damaged. The progress of the flames was arrested before they had an opportunity to do much damage on the second floor and the injury was caused by the smoke.
 MT. Kugel and family were just about to partake of their monday meal when they saw smoke coming up past the front windows. It was soon found that the fire was in the store below and they fled in great excitement, so much so, that Mrs Kugei was badly prostrated. MT. Block and family also had some difficulty in getting out of the building, as their means of exit was by a stair way in the rear of the building. This stairway was out of doors and in con- sequence did not take fire. MT. Kugel stated that it was customary to have the store open on Sunday and they nev- CT thought of locking the door. There was not one in the store when the fire started and there had been no one in it for at least fifteen minutes before. There was no fire in the store and no lamp that might have exploded. A neighbor living across the street said that he saw the smoke and rushing over found the fire the worst in one corner where the were piled The stock is a total loss and the interior of the room will have to be wholly rebuilt. The building was of brick. Mr. Kugel car ried a stock estimated to be worth S2500 and had $500 insurance. The building was also insured for several thousand. It is comparatively new and replaced an old one that went by the name of "Hell's kitchen"
 At 6:43 last night still alarm called No. S's extinguisher to the residence of z. M. Humphrey, 147 Edward street, where defective f1ue had set fire to the roof The loss was trifling.

THE LIFE OF HENRY URUMMOND. An Address by Professor George Adam
 smith Yesterday.

Before an audience that filled the body, the boxes and the stage of the Grand opera house yesterday afternoon Professor George Adam Smith of Glas- gov, Scotland, the Lyman Beecher lee- turer at Yale, delivered an interesting talk on 'The Life of Henry Drum mond." Professor Smith spoke at the regular Sunday afternoon mems meet ing at 4 o'clock under the auspices of the local Y. M c. A. About a hundred invited guests occupied seats on the stage, and a number of prominent citi- zens and pastors of the various church. es of the city, as well as several Yale professors, were in the boxes. Rev. Dwight l.. Moody, the noted evangelist, presided. MT. Moody did not speak at length in either opening or closing the service. He simply introduced Profes- sor Smith, who spoke nearly an hour. Professor Smith was warm personal friend of Henry Drummond and his re- cent book on the life of Drummond fur nished the basis for his afternoons talk.
 
 addressing the members of his audience who were Scotchmen by birth. He spoke eloquently of their influence as 8 people, assuring them that it was q pleasure to see them represented in such large numbers He also paid MT. Moody high tribute. He began his talk by enumerating the qualities of Drum mond, relating many incidents in the life of the great writer and preacher. He spoke of Drummond's purity of pur- pose and life, and said that, like Christ, Drummond made prayer the real battle ground of life.
 Professor Smith said: T believe that more of our Christian life belongs to prayer than to anything else. Henry Drummond had thoroughly learned this lesson. Christ did not make prayer the parade ground, before the battle, nor the drill ground of life. With Christ prayer was the real battle-ground. It was because Christ made prayer the real battle-ground that in His daily life and in His walks with His fellow men He was enabled to gather the fruits of victory gained through prayer. If have made you see that there was one man in our generation who lived pure, unselfish and noble life, in my talk on Henry Drummond, I have &C., shed my desire in addressing you this afternoon. And I would say to you in closing that Christ is as near to you and me to-day as He was to Henry Drummond."
