DISTURBING THE PREACHERS.
4 Female EvnuEelist Makes Trouble
in West Virginia.

BARBOURVILLE, W. Va. Nov. 20.-Re-
iigious circles in the southern portion o.
this county are excited over the efforts OF
female member of a sect known as the
Holy Church TO preach and teach her
doctrine 10 other congregations despite
their objections. She appears al every ser
vice and before the minister can say a
word proceeds TO the pulpit and begins q
sermon. She is Miss Parthena Bum, a
good looking young lady, who was last fall
converted to the faith she now wishes
others TO follow.
No church in the whole community has
been left off her visiting list She has been
threatened with arrest for disturbing re-
ligious worship. but this has not stopped
her In many instances the people leave
the church when she makes her appear
ance and ministers have refused to nil
their appointments upon finding her pres
ent.
AT Bloomingdale Church she had her say
last Sunday while the regular preacher
stood by but with silent tongue. Many
worshipers left the edifice. When she had
concluded her sermon she walked to a
Campbellite church, two miles away, where
Rev. Mr. Bostie was delivering a sermon.
She walked 10 the pulpit and began to in
terrupt the reverend gentleman. and he
had to request that she be removed, which
WAS done

Acquitted OF MURDER.
t. Hall Davis Not Guilty of killing
Jettie JOhusOu.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Nov 20.-In the
Elizabeth City county court Saturday an
interesting murder trial was brought to a
close by the jury rendering verdict OF not
guilty in the case of T. Hall Davis. jr..
charged with killing Jettie Johnson, col
ored. on October g.. According to the evil
dence in the case, the row in which the
negro was killed occurred in Davis bar
room, and was the outcome of the refusal
of Davis to give the negroes a pack of
cards. In the melee johnson was struck
on the head with hammer and died from
the effects of the blow in few minutes.
without regaining consciousness. The plea
OF the defence was that someone else
struck the blow instead Of Davis. and
counsel assailed the testimony of the ne
groes who claimed to have seen the blow
struck to such good purpose that the jury
brought in a verdict of not guilty.
Young Davis has stoutly maintained his
innocence all along. After the unfortunate
occurrence he sold his barroom and says
he will now go into some other business.
The negroes OF Hampton were very much
wrought up over the matter. and when the
case went to the Jury on Friday night the
courtroom was packed with them. The
foreman of the jury told the judge ver-
dict wonld be reached in twenty minutes,
but Judge Lee adjourned court until Satur
day. probably as a precautionary meas
ure.

FOOTBALL ARMOR.
Gridiron Warriors ToEgery Like
That of Ancient knights.

tFrom the New York Herald.)
The full armored football player of today
bears a striking resemblance to the knight
of the Middle Ages in battle array, minus
his spear and his sword. With the top of
his head protected from hostile blows by
heavy leather cap, with pads about his
ears made of lambs wool to Withstand the
shock of the attack, with his nose and
mouth shielded by hard pieces of rubber
nodded into convenient shape with his
arms and shoulders padded. his chest pro-
tected by strips OF leather so as to ward
off chance blows. his legs encased In
breeches two inches thick with pads. his
shins protected by guards with spikes in
his shoes, and every joint Of his body en-
cased in and REINFORCED by elastics. the
football hero of today, charging over the
gridiron field is not at all unlike an un-
horsed knight of the Middle Ages in a tilt
ing tournament.
The development of the armor of the
gridiron has been coincident with the de-
velopment of football. A dozen years ago
the game of football was only beginning
to be developed in this country. Americans
got their ideas of the Rugby game as il
is now played in this country from Eng
land. There the game was then and still is
played in tennis shirts and flannel knicker-
bockers, with bare knees and arms bare
to the elbow. The English game is very
much like the American game of polo. with
the use of the hands to drive the ball in
stead OF polo sticks. The American game
of Rugby football has been made infinitely
more scientific.

NEW YORK. Nov. 20.-Lucinda Murphy

pital yesterday suffering from a peculiar
fern OF aphasia. The woman has COM

derstands all that is said to her. She an

ards. the examining physician. why, this
woman has motor aphasia," he at last ex-
claimed.

orrhage had paralyzed the power Of the
motor nerves.
When DR.. Richards asked whether she
was suffering pain, Mrs. Murphy nodded,
and touched her temple and her jaws. The
history clerk learned her age by counting
unit, he reached the number thirty nine,
when she nodded her head. In similar
way the woman gave all the necessary in
formation concerning herself.
This case is a most peculiar form OF the
disease" said Dr. Richards. II think how
ever, that the patient will soon recover
from it. We have another woman patient
In the hospital who suffered from a form
of aphasia, but she has recovered the pow
er of speech"
Mr.. Murphy and his family came here
from North Carolina about one month ago.
Mrs. Murphy has not been in good health
for week or two. She was preparing din
ner at noon yesterday, when her husband,
Louis, went ont for walk. Shortly after
he left Mrs. Murphy was seen to reel by
her children. She staggered to chair. but
suddenly fell to the floor. The woman's
sister was summoned, but Mrs. Murphy,
who remained conscious, was unable to re-
ply to any OF the questions addressed to
her.
As friends did not know what to make
OF her strange ailment. they summoned an
ambulance from Bellevue. Before she was
taken from her home. Mrs. Murphy made
a sign with her hand. indicating a desire
TO write something.
Her sister handed her paper and a PEN
ell, and the woman wrote no.e TO her
husband, telling him to be careful to lock
all the doors Of the fat whenever he went
out Sac also gave directions for the care
Of their children.

ChiIdren,s Day Exercises.

The Wildwood Baptist church kept
Children's day last Sunday evening.
The Baptist church at Anglesea and
the Presbyterian church at Holly Beach
very kindly adjourned their services for
the evening, that their people might
have the opportunity 70 attend If they
should wish to do SO. The heavy thun-
der shower and threatening rain kept
some of the smaller children of the
school at home, but those who came
did their best and gave the audience a
very enjoyable entertainment. Miss
Eva Washburn was organist for the
occasion. She deserves great credit for
her adaptation of the music to suit the
variety of pieces rendered by the school
and shows great talent for so young a
player. The Ocean Wave band led the
marches and played "There is a Foun-
tain filled with bloodp with fine effect.
They kept their record good. After
prayer by the pastor, Rev. j. NJ. Gran
er, there was a prayer song by the in
FAINT class, and Pauline NanHorn, Tine
and Bertha Bradley sang a sweet hymn
about Gods are. Lena Washburn,
Sadie Taylor and Robert POindexter
gave good Rotations. Little Miss
Hazel b.. Rich sang a solo, entitled
"Sweet Bunch of Daisies" with fine
voice and exquisite rendering of the
sentiment. Her perfect composure and
fascinating n during its rendition
charmed the audience and expressions
of praise of her talent were heard on
all sides. The principal feature of the
evening was a Flower drill by sixteen
girls. This was planned and drilled by
Miss Lizzie Washburn, who gave a
o.oot 1ooI 81 five I'D +ha1nhf ta fho
arrangement and carrying out of its
details. The opening poem was com
posed by her and sung in sweet fashion
by her little sister Rosalie. The plat
form was decorated to represent a gar
den with fence, gate and arch, over
which the Virginia creeper trailed, or
namented with the crimson punches of
wild asclepias and yellow cactus.
Through the arch a large bud IA Wis
IDLE against a back ground of cattails,
daisies and grass. From this bud Ro-
sale Washburn, violet gowned and
violet crowned, rose slowly, singing as
she bloomed, a song of welcome to the
daisies. The daisies then appeared in
their white dresses and marching to
the platform formed in an open circle
around the violet singing
"Just a little violet,
Velvety and blue,
On each tiny blossom
God is looking, too;
So He knows His children,
Calling each by name,
And His loving kindness
Every II may claim"
They then formed in line of march
again, a continuous chain of daisies
reaching from shoulder to shoulder.
They wound in and out holding high
their chains for their companions to
pass under. After this they separated
and two by two made arches to pass
through. The girls deserve a great
deal of credit for the beautiful manner
in which they carried out their leaders,

cially the duet by Misses Mary and
