and Silas when they sang praises to
God and the prisoners heard them.
The Scotch Covenanters. bounded by
the dogs of persecution, sang the
psalms Of David with more spirit than
they have ever since been rendered.
The captlves in the text had music
loft In them, and | declare that if they
could find amid all their trials two
hundred and forty and five singing
men and singing women then III thlS
day of gospel sunlight and free from
all persecution there ought to be
great multitude of men and women
willing to sing the praises Of God. All
our churches need arousal on this sub
icct. Those who can sing must throw
their souls into the exercise. and those
who cannot sing must learn how, ana

Recently monk, Brother Flnmidieu,
was accused of the murder Of little
boy who had been his pupil. The evil
dence against the accused WAS of the
flimsest character. but it was so mis-
represented by the officials that the
populace was made to believe the monk
monster incarnate. The result was
that n mob gathered outside the walls
Of the insecure prison In which he was
confined and howled for his blood. The
officials began their system Of eXtort-

he should be obliged to hear the

While the tumult was loudest gen.

hustled into cab and driven slowly
through the crowd which surged
about the vehicle and struck at the
prisoner through the open windows.
The monk did not know that he was
being taken to hospital where fresh
mental torture awaited him.

prisoner was led from the cab,

Suddenly there was blaze Of light,
and the unhappy monk found himself
standing beside bier, upon which lay

every ghastly wound gaping. Before
he could gather his wits more hor-

turned its head, and the eyes opened
to stare fiXedly ut the man accused Of

skilled men had worked for hours to
devise an apparatus which, by working
upon the muscles of the body. should

knights of Labor Decide to Abando,
the Policy of Neutrality.

hu1&ntS Oh LABOR Decide To Abandon
the Policy of Neutrality.
Washington, Nov. 20. - John w
Hayes, general secretary of the
knights of Labor, who has returned to
this city from Boston, said that the
knights will abandon the time-honored
custom of taking no part in politics.
The course Of public events" he
said, has forced the order to change
its views and to abandon it's old policy
of political lethargy. 1t has been re-
solved to take an active part in the
politics of the country and to formu-
late plan whereby political questions
will be discussed and decided upon
The discussions will be non-partisan
entirely and the influence and strength
of the order will be given to that party
which comedies with and espouses the
same view of matters as the order.
The organization resolved, further
more, to establish at the headquarters
of the order school of civics and So
cial and political science, history, ora
tory and composition. in order that
young men may qualify themselves at
nominal cost to intelligently and ably
promulgate and defend knights of La
or principles and study the problems
of the present and the future with the
aid of all that history and science can
bring to their assistance.
The school is to be established in
Washington. All the work of the stu
dents will be carried on at home and
will be directed by correspondence"

Georgia Legislature Refuses to Dis

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 2s.-The Georgia
house of representatives refused 10 dis
franchise the negroes of this state by a
vote of 1877 to 3. Only one member
spoke for the bill, its author, I. w.
Hardwick.
The measure provided that no person
unable to read, write and understand
any paragraph of the state constitution
could vote, with the exception of those
who had the right of franchise Janu-
AIRY i, 1867, and previous thereto, and
their lineal descendants.
1t was this discrimination clause
which undoubtedly killed the bill. The
author disclaimed any intention to act
from prejudice, but said he simply
wanted to disfranchise what he con-
sidered the ignorant and immoral vote
of the state.
Members speaking against the bill
declared there was no immediate dam
ger of negro political domination. They
denounced the bill as unconstitutional
and said it would cause strife, and de-
