MONROE.

THE MYSTERY or CAPT WILLIAM SEE
 LETS DEATH SOLVED.
 Madame La Rose, of the Nicrobine Co. now here, in her mind reading seance of Tuesday evening of last week made some startling disclosures. She describ- ed one murder committed years ago, which had been forgotten entirely, as no one was ever convicted, and many other things of the past, but the great est sensation was the vivid description of the murder of Capt Seeley and which every one remembers, one of the grand jurors on the case being present. At the time 1t was called s'suicide'' but most people believed 1t . murder. She de- ecribed the murderer, who was hidden in the barn, the attack which she seem. ed to see, becoming greatly agita.ed a it proceeded) )said the man strangled Capt Seeley with rope, drawing it tighter1 ard tighter, the unavailipg cries for help, the death, the hanging of the body to make 1t appear suicide and the search ip the dead mans pockets for money. Then the man left and went to New York. "The murderer she said twas the hired man of: Walter Boards. ley." This was the very man suspected by most people and who disappeared on that same day leaving . trunk full of fine wearing apparel and his wages, amount ing to $50 or $6O, which as far as is known. py the public have never been called for. Madame La Roses descrip- tf0ns and disclosures are really aseOnish- ing and the audience gave almost breath less attention,

1t. But what is the great thing in the world, the greatest powerP What bin is the workman to his tool, friend to friend, mother to child? Is it mt love? And Glove is the bond of perfec: ness." God is wisdom but not "wisdom" in His name. God is omn'potent, but His name is not 'power." But whe is He? "God is love-" Gods love is the fire that wisely and with power burns through the eins Of the heart until in wave the love of man reeponds to the love of God. And the chulch of the living God is one in which love rules.
 No man, then, can count himself . member of this eternal church who does not love Christ and through Him love God. Let us explain; that this love is not mere sentimental feelfn9-but 1t is, first, gratitude for His loving sacrifice, forgiveness, cleansing, grace and suste- nance, with adoration of that sublime character; then it Is devotion and loyal. ty in strong, persistent endeavor, 20 far as possible, to respond to that love in the service which He has of bringing all men to Himself. Let me say. too, that this love may be very feeble at fiest but grows with faith and experience. But he that loveth not knoweth not God, is none of His. Chris: is the most lovable being ever known. He cannot be of God who does not respond in devotion and loyalty to the person and cause of Christ. Let this become our mind:
 "My Jesus love thee;
 know thou art mine.
 Of sin I resign.
 "My Gracious Redeemer
 My Saviour art thou;
 It ever loved thee
 My Jesus 'tts now"
The Newtown bee., 1900-11-09

But if love is high it Is also broad and if one truly loves God he will love the brethren also. The devotion to Christ is salve which opens the eye and heart to Christlikeness in all His followers. Hence cometh to pass the saying, "He that loveth n ot hls brother whom he hath seen, cannot love God whom he hath not seen." That is spurious devotion to the Master which finds no eagerness for men. A warm fellowship and harmony must then prevail in the church in which God delights. The obligation of the people is no more to the pastor than to one another.

date Of the Humes-Guie forces as tenn
Dorary chairman. although Senator
Frink's supporters claim that the total

are in the convention.
When the result was announced the
reading clerk stated that s. H. Piles,
the candidate OF the Frink forces. had
received 22sk votes. which the Frink

legal votes in the convention.
In the midst Of great excitement and
the fervent protest Of the FrInk man

majority Of 80 against the chairman's
decisions A long and excited debate
followed, and the convention. about $780,
adjourned until 3 o'clock tomorrow

NEW YORK, Aug. AIN compliance
with an urgent representation made by
Ambassador Fava, the Italian repre-
sentative in this country, Secretary
Hay has requested the governor of New
Jersey to take measures to obtain evil
dence preliminary to the prosecution of
any persons within his state who con-
spired to bring about the assassination
of King Humbert says the Washington
correspondent Of the Herald Within a
very short time, therefore the officers
expect to have officially determined
whether the crime was the result Of a
conspiracy hatched in the United
States. If evidence to support the as
sertion that such is the case can be
obtained, it will then be necessary to
decide whether the federal or state
laws permit prosecution of persons
charged with conspiring against the
ruler Of a foreign nation.
The communication received at the
state department from Baron Fava
shows clearly that he has placed de-
tectives at work TO put the responsible
ity for the crime upon the shoulders Of

No orders therefore looking to relax
