of Valley View, died on May IL. This
was the first time this household had

the once cheerful home is wrapped in

whelming sorrow. May it be sanctified
to their souls good.

A Great Address

We understand that Rev. DIR. Haley's
Sunday morning sermon on the occs-
sion of the Commencement of Madison
Institute, was powerful discourse. We
were unable to gain admittance, the
church, as usual. being well filed.
DIR. Haley had only few hours notice,
the regular speaker being unable TO
come at the last moment, which rem
ders his effort the more remarkable.
In the evening. to a crowded audi
ence, Rev. John r.. Sampey, ID. d.. of
tie Baptist Theological Seminary, de-
livered a sermon that will dwell long
and pleasantly in the memories OF all.
1t created a sensation, inasmuch as at
its close, the audience surrounded DIR.
Sampey and assured him of the pro-
found impression he lad made upon
them. We have never witnessed such
a demonstration of approval, if num-
bers and iervency bespeak the feelings
of the heart. "Mary and Martha and
Lazarus whom Jesus loved. was his
theme. and beautifully and touchingly
he drew lessons from their lives, and
We heard numerous individuals thank
him for the comfort and courage they
derived from his powerful exposition
of the text. Dr. Sampey returned
home, doubtless fully assured that his
visit had resulted, as lie would most
desire, in truer conception of duty
in consOling the "Martha's" that Jesus
loved them also.

DIR. T. T. Eaton has succeeded in
ousting President William II. Whitsitt
from the Southern Baptist Theological
seminary. The war on DR.. Whitsitt
was on account of his statement OF
the historical fact that there was time
when the English Baptists did not prac-
tice immersion. Whatever the vote OF

prove, it does not prove that DR.. Whit

Knights Of PyIhias Celebrate.

Never before have the business

choice words fittingly turned over the

masterly address. Mr.. Bowman's own
life exemplifies the compatibility of
Pythianism and the Church, for he is
both soldier of the mystic Cross and a
faithful follower OF the Lamb. 1t would
be no exaggeratiOn to say that half his
audience was in tears during large
portion of his address, so pathetic were
the examples of knightly chivalry, and
so touching his appeal for the emula-
ton of the splendid examples Of self
abnegation and fraternal devotion
Rev Jasper X. Smith closed the exer-
cises with prayer.
AT night the Lodges of the District
met in grand conclave in the elegant
temple of the Masonic Fraternity, and
pave up the entire evening TO the
work in hand. At eleven they and
their lady friends and invited guests sat
down TO a royal thinner banquet. Mr..
Joseph Waters, of Stanford, was an
ideal toast master, again attested the
versatility of his genius, having as
sisted the afternoon performance by
cornet solos, with piano accompa-
ninent by Miss Lizzie Feeny. The
chief toast was delivered by Hon.
Letcher Owsley, of Lancaster, who
spoke with Characteristic ease and
power. 1t was a rare treat, indeed, to
listen to the young Lancasterian, whose
fame as an orator is justly deserved.
He sustained his reputation fully and
added fresh laurels to his crown.
The occasion was a notable one and
the visitors pronounced it a great sue
cess. Pythianism is better understood
by the public. Now let the local lodge
buckle down to work and exemplify in
daily life the noble precepts of its splen-
did Ritual, and the grand occasion,
with all its glory, will not have been in
vain.

The eyes OF the State are upon Rich
mond. at least those Of the Bicycle con-
tingent. The Louisville Times says:
"The annual meet of Kentucky divis-
ion L A. w. will be held at Richmond,
June IS and 20. For twelve years past
these meets have been events looked
forward to with much pleasure by all
the wheelmeD in the State. The Rich
mond Club promises royal entertain
ment to all who attend the meet this
year. A good=sized party will probably
tour through from Louisville, leaving here
Saturday morning and reaching Rich
mond Sunday night. The route will be
through Frankfort and Lexington. The
roads should be in good condition at
that time"
President Streng and Secretary Har-
ris and their committees are doing
everything possible to work up inter-
est in the big meeting, and we earnest
ly hope our citizens. and particularly
our merchants, will encourage the
gentlemen who have the matter in
hand. II will bring 500 men to our
city for two days, and that means some
thing to them.

Bronston Throws Another Bomb.

The remarkable speech which Hon.
Chas j Bronstol delivered in this CITY
some weeks ago willDbe long remem-
bered here, but it wa$not dreamed that
he would '-perpetrate" with apology to
the Regisier) as great surprise upon
another audience before which he was
invited to speak. Nevertheless, he did
so, and as a result the Insurance Com
panies have nos yet caught their breath.
1t happened in this way: The Under
writer's Association of Kentucky invit-
ed Mr.. BrOnston to their second an
nual meeting at Louisville last week
and doubles expected him to say
nothing b. what would please his
hosts. The trend of ali the speeches
entiJely to the liking Of the Insurance
Agents who claim that "Prejudice" is
at the basis OF the current opposition to
the sOcalled-insurance trusts, aud an
nolillce that they will not vote for
candidates inimical to their interests"
All goes smoothly until Mr.. Bronston's
fine to speak arrives. He then pro-
ceeds to tear up the whole fabric of
heir arguments, eviscerate the COM
panies, and kick them out of the win
dow. as it were. But the COurler-Jour-
nal tells IL mus.
Mr.. BrOnston said that short time
ago he received a letter from Mr.. AL
lisOn saying that the insurance men
wanted silver crank to tell them how
they appeared to Others. Mr.. BIonston
continued by saying that Mr.. Allison
had said he was the best qualified
crank to tell the insurance men how
they were seen by others.
Mr.. BrOnston made an eloquent
speech, but it was not to the taste of
the insurance men. He said that he
proposed to tell the insurance men ex-
actly how the people of Kentucky
looked upon them. II am but plain
man from the country" said MIR. Bron-
ston. Il am not a distinguished repre-
sentative of any political party or fac
ton. l will not follow the communist
whose motto is victory or ruin and
wreck, or the plutocrats who press
down the common people. Conse-
quently, do not stand as high in bime-
ialIic circles as possibly once did,"
Mr.. Bronston said that he drew the
first indictment brought against an in
surance company in Kentucky. He said
he did it, not because he opposed the
companies or their agents, but because
he realized that they were making a
mistake and that he wanted to make
them see that they were doing SO before
they had gone too far.
Mr.. Bronston said that the Insurance
companies had tried to pass and had
passed laws killing competition and
fixing rates, so that the people were
compelled 10 insure with this or that
company or not at all. Therefore, he
declared, the people looked upon them
as promoters of trusts and combines,
and had determined to cheek their
operations
Mr.. Bronston said if the concentra-
ton OF wealth continued in this country
it was only a matter of time until yiO-
lence would result. Mr.. Bronston was
thoroughly enthused and lie spoke in
such way that the insurance men
could not mistake his meaning.
