enough for them to say before then,
when the world was thought to be the
most important body in the universe,
that Jupiter and Buddha and God could
come to earth and walk about among

disappeared at that time. The whole
theory Of Christianity went to pieces at
once. and so the true Christianity was
born again and came to stay forever
The religion that says God is spirit and
men must worship in spirit. Every
man is a son of God and God is in

Gen. Hughes recommends Coils. Rice

successful action against the insur-
gents. Lieut.. Col. Joseph T. Dickman,
of the Twenty-sixth, who recently led

Harry Stevens recently claimed that
he was working for a New York prod

which to wine and to dine friends. About
a year ago young Stevens married Miss
NJ. Estelle Liberty, a daughter of Louis
L. Liberty of this city. The bride was
employed as stenographer in the Globe
Corset company's office, but soon after
the wedding the young couple had un-
happiness instead of the calm life OF
domestic bliss. The couple separated,
and Mrs. Stevens remained in New
York, where she supports herself,work-
ing as stenographer in a business
house.
Harry is well known among members
of the cliques of young men in this
city, whose sole aim is Bohemian life

FOR MAYOR,
RUFUS B, DODGE, JR.
FOE ALDERMEN.

Hon. Rufus B. Dodge, Jr., was unan-
clamatioa in the republican municipal
convention yesterday morning. There
was not dissenting voice. No other
mans name was presented to the con-
vention and George Bouchard, who
headed the ward four delegation, the
only one pledged to Hon. A. S. Roe in
the caucuses, seconded the nomination
of Mr.. Dodge,
Fred >. Johnson, who was slated as
the aldermanic nominee from ward sew
en-, was turned down by the convention.
This means that the seventh ward will
be without representation in the upper
board this year. 1t had been predicted
that something of a contest would re-
suit between the friends of Johnson,
Harrington and Bousquet. Some
claimed the contest would be between
Bousquet and Johnson, others that
Harrington and Bousquet were the men
to fight it out. The result was
SOMETHING OF. A SURPRISE
to some of the delegates from the fact
that it was whispered before the con-
vention that delegates from wards three
and seven had been working together
for their respective candidates.
Charles A. Vaughan, Sanford c. Ken
dali, W. Levi Bousquet, John r. Back,
and Louis j. Kendall were nominated
on the first ballot H. Augustus Har-
rington and Fred L. johnson being tied
tor the sixth place. Another ballot re-
suited in the nominatio of Mr. Har-
rington by a margin of two votes
Mr. Johnson said after the convention
that he should stand by the decision Of
the delegates. He did not feel badly
over the matter, although of course he
would have liked the nomination. He

Meanwhile, half a hundred neighbors
attracted by the cries of Mrs Prong.
Emma Pate and children, surrounded
the wounded man, who lay in a pool of
blood, with a wound in his left side
near the abdomen. Mrs Prong was
hysteriCal and wept over her husband.
while neighbors assisted in preparing
for the removal of the wounded man
into the house.
The Wards, father and son, went to
their home and sat in the kitchen.
Officer Wallbridge had been told of the
shooting by Joseph Jones, a young col
ored man, who was in the vicinity
when the fracas occurred. He sent for
the ambulance and went to the scene
of the shooting. The elder Ward
seemed calm, yet he gave expression
to bitter words concerning the quarrel
which provoked the shooting. Mrs.
Ward had prepared a supper for her
husband and son, and the family circle
inclosed the small kitchen table The
shooting was discussed, and father and
son agreed that it was merely self
defense.
During the progress of the supper
the elder Ward grew morose. He re-
GREETED that revolver had been used,
but behind it all he claimed self-de-
Tense, and he bolstered his hopes upon
this claim. The clang of the ambulance
gong punetured- the silence which per

and the elder Ward was the first to
comment upon the arrival of the am
bulance which was to take the body of
the man who had been wounded from
a bullet aimed by him, to the hospital
Guess I'll see what's goin' on" said
Ward, as he arose from the table, and
directed his speech toward his wife
and son. Taking his hat from the en-
try he walked out the back door into
the yard. Young Ward soon followed,
but his father had disappeared. Off
Ger Wallbridge visited the house later,
but no trace of the assailant could be
found.
Ambulance Surgeon Shaw attended
the injured man on the trip to city
hospital. Prong was suffering great
pain but from loss of blood he dropped

Prong had been operated
upon, but a search for the bullet was
not made, as he was too weak. The
wound in his abdomen is a jagged one.
Early this morning no replies had
been received from messages sent to
the police departments of cities and
towns in this vicinity. William Ward
is AZ years old, and has been employed
in white washing, janitor's work, and
small JOBS, but has seldom had a per-
manent position. Prong has been a
jack of-all- trades, and has been able to
comfortably support a wife and child.

let Into Frong's Abdomen---As-
sailant Escapes Friends Claim
He Acted in Self. Defence.

In the dooryard of his home at 6S
John street, David Prong, % years old,
was shot in the abdomen after a wran-
gle with William and James Ward,
father and son, who live at No Sc in the
same street.
Claiming self-defense, after Prong
had hit him, William Ward fired the
shot from a 32-calibre revolver, and la
ter walked to his home, where he de-
clared that the shooting was justifia-
Bile, because of Prong's assault upon
him. The son, James Ward, 10 years
old, made the complaint to his father,
which resulted in quarrel between
the Wards and Prong. The assailant
escaped.
Early in the evening Prong and Jas
Ward met in Exchange street. Prong
resented statements made by Ward
concerning Emma Pate who, with an
infant child, boards at Frong's house.
According to young Ward, the child had
created a disturbance during a recent
church service, and a criticism of this
display of infantile frivolity resulted in

Thoroughly angered, young Ward.
went to his home and told his father of
the assault upon him by Prong. The
elder Ward shared the wrath of his son,
and sought revenge Father and son
went to Frongs house and in the yard
met the object of their anger An ex-
PLANTATION was demanded. but Prong
claimed that young Ward insulted him
and his friends and that the slap in the
face might do worlds of good. Accord
ing to young Wards story, his father
continued to demand an explanation
but without accomplishing anything
which would tend to smooth over the
breach.
Prong rapidly grew incensed at the
TRADE of questions, and wanted to fight.
Young Ward held his father back until
Prong landed a powerful blow in the
elder Wards face. Then his wrath,
which had been wearing away in small
instruments, poured forth and the two
clinched. Blows were exchanged, and
Prong was like an enraged beast.
Suddenly the elder Ward drew away
from the tangle and pulling a revolver
from his hip pocket fired at Prong who
stood about ten feet away. As the pis-
tol report sounded, Mrs. Prong, who
had watched the battle of fistcuffs and
words from the doorway of her home,
swooned. Young Ward tugged at his
fathers arm and begged him to leave
the scene of the shooting.

today you can come into the hearts of
the people by your strength, faith and
purpose The people will not expect
you to say striking things, but rather
those things that are true. l congra-
tulate you on the gospel you are sent
to preach. To be a Christian is to be
Christlike; to speak of the things that
are true, is your mission. 1t means
that conscience is to rule.
There is here no antiquated creed
TO apologize for or to patch or mend;
no ritual to recite, but Christianity a
life to be lived
You can appeal to your people not
by argument or self reproach, but by
a gospel Of self-respect You are to live
mere as man among men. Faith is a
part Of manhood. And it is your
mighty privilege to help your people
out Of the by-ways up on the highway,
out of the provinces headed for the
capital. Let your humility rejoice that
GOD has set high ideal toward which
you can reach out, working your own
salvation, because God worketh in YOU.
