Weeks at once resumed his oross-examins-

quickly but that the address ON the poison

rapidly. In fact he said 1t had been writ

ssNow then Mr.. Kinsley want you to
take all the rules by which you compared
the barnet and Cornish letters and the

Mr.. Kinsley said In answer to quef-

The resolutions prepared BY Rev. DIR.

that the teachings of the book entitled
"a History OF Christianity In the

ANOTHER MEAN MAN.
Bachelor Who Gets Sewinr Ma
chino Agents to DO His Mending.

He's the meanest man that ever had

machine agent. II received a note from
him the other day saying that he desired
to view one of our matchless machines

to be satisfactory. In these piping days
Of competition II is a novelty for a sew
ing machine agent to be invited to call
and show goods. so when had recovered
from my surprise | promptly loaded a
machine in my cart and started for the
address the man had given.
"An old man met me ut the door and
invited me to bring the machine inside so
he could more closely examine it. l did
SO, setting the machine up in the sitting
room and calling his attention to its fine
points. He was an attentive listener,
and talked with the confidence of a man
who considered sale certain. Finally.
having exhausted all my arguments, he
asked to see a practical test OF the capa-
bilities of the machine. l agreed and
asked him to bring me something upon
which to work. He left the room. re-
turning a few moments later. his arms
illed with damaged linen.
II sat down at the machine and show
ed how easily rents and tears could be
mended. making the garment as good as
new and saving in a short time the price
of the machine. The man seemed very
much interested and kept handing me
garment after garment that needed at
tention. | worked for two solid hours
mending the old mans garments, and nj
last, having nothing else that needed at
tention, he commenced to find fault with
the machine. Finally he told me that he
guessed he wouldn't buy a machine RICH,
away.
II was so mad that i didn't dare trusi
myself to speak, and | was glad after
ward that l didn't, for when l learned
the whole truth | realized my total ina
bility to do the subject justice. That mis-
cradle old sinner, who happens to he a
bachelor. had brought me up there mere
ly to do his mending and had no idea of
buying a machine. He has worked the

MISCELLANEOUS
An Old Theory
Exploded
Food not Digested In the
Stomach.
This Organ only Prepares It for Assimi.
lation by the Intestines.

Until few months ago the medical
profession, as we'll as the public at large,
have always believed that food was
digested in the stomach; but thanks to
science, they are now enabled to follow
the whole process of digestion with their
own eyes from the moment food enters
the mouth until it is taken into the sys-
TEN, or carried off through the bowels.
Heretofore all remedies for the cure of
dyspepsia have been given with the idea
of assisting the stomach to digest food,
and the discovery that this organ does
not digest 1t at all explains the cause of
their failure to cure the disease, and its
constant increase in spite of the thou
sand and one remedies used. Another
and equally important discovery was
also made that there are three distinct
kinds of dyspepsia, two of which require
different remedies, and the remedy for
one must be exactly opposite to that
of the other in character. For in
stance, acid dyspepsia requires an aka
line treatment; indigestion an acid
treatment these combined and given
in one dose neutralize each other, con-
sequently, cannot be given together with
effect. The third and most dangerous

RANDOLPH MAY HAVE TO DIE.
Jury in Colombia Has Foud Him
Guilty of Murder.

Washington, March 25.-The following
cablegram was received at the state de-
partnent from Secretary of Legation Nc
Nally of the United States legation at
Bogota, Colombia
Randolph tried yesterday at Madelin.
The jury has returned a verdict of dellb-
crate homicide"
The cablegram is dated March q, and
in all probability is the end Of one of the
most prolonged efforts ever made TO save
the life of an American citizen
Francis C. Randolph is from one of the
best families in the South. He was
man of fine qualities, and obtained the po-
sition of judge in Alabama, but left there,
as the official reports state, "under a
cloud" He went to Colombia, and it was
in the little town of Cali, in that coun-
try, that he killed man, Sept. g. 1895.
The deceased was a reputable German
merchant. named simmonds, who was
held in high esteem in the community.
The killing grew out of dispute In Sim
monds' house over some property he had
sold to Randolph, who was living under
the assumed name of Charles Radford.
Randolph admitted the killing and was
thrown into prison.
His Alabama friends, notably ex-secre-
tary Herbert. interested thmeselves in his
behalf and induced the state department
to employ attorneys to defend him. RAN
dolph was transferred from Call to Made
lin on the ground that he could not OBJ
tain fair trial at the former place. He
was convicted and sentenced TO death and
then began protracted legal struggle dur
ing which United States Minister McKin-
ney, by direction of Secretary Olney, man
aged to appeal the case and secure a re-
trial.
Randolph's defense has been continued
actively by the present administration, at
the urgent solicitation of ex-Secretary
Herbert, but it is believed that this action
of the jury, reported by Secretary Nc
Nany, marks the end and that Randolph
must pay the penalty of his crime.
