Rev. Bamford's Lecture.

About threeihundred friends and
members of his former congregation
assembled at SCentral M. E. church
Friday evening to hear Rev. M. Bam-
ford, now of Lawrence, Kansas, de-
liver lecture from the pulpit where
in he preached five years. 81. His sub
ject was being in Debt" and it
was handled in his inimitable way.
Mr.. Bamford did not consider that
the man who Is in debt is under any
bane, in fact, he is better off than
the man who cannot be in debt. AL
most the entire business of the world
is done on credit and it is we'll that
this is so, as the exchange of cash
would be burdensome and inadequate
to carry on the great enterprises.
The speaker also pointed out that
the poorest man is rich in servants,
as hundreds of people minister to
his wants, and thousands before him
have labored for the privileges and
comforts he now enjoys. The lecture
was thoroughly enjoyed by all and
his reception after the address was
very cordial.

MOB HANGS TWO MEN
Angry Citizens Attack the Jail at
Emporia, Va.

Richmond, Va, March GA mob
which for &c hours had surged around
the little Jail at Emporia, Greenesville
county, Va, about noon Saturday Sc
cured the opportunity for which it
thirsted, dragged two prisoners forth
and hanged them to the same limb,
filing the body of one with bullets as
he hung writhing and gasping in the
| air. The two men were Walter Cotton,
a negro, who on Thursday shot two
officers who were attempting to arrest
him for burglary, and a white man
who aided Cotton in the robbery, but
was not implicated in the murder.
AS soon as the two prisoners were
lodged in Jail mob began to gather
for the avowed purpose of lynching
Cotton, and it quickly assumed for
midable proportions. 1t was under the
leadership of ex-Judge r. P. Barham,
of Greenesville county. The sheriff and
judge, becoming alarmed, telegraphed
Gov. Tyler for troops. A company
was sent on special train, but the
murmurs of the people became so loud
that the sheriff ordered the soldiers
home and the governor approved his
order.
Mob Breaks Into Jail.
The troops had been gone but a
short time when the mob rushed on
the Jail. The deputy in charge made
formal resistance-that is, he en-
tered protest. The men were deter
mined, however, to lynch Cotton and
decided to execute him in broad day
light as a lesson to all who would
commit crime. There was consider
able delay in getting the prisoner I'M
chained. He was led out of the prison
with rope about his neck. The man
was so frightened that he could not
speak.
The negro was dragged through the
crowd to a tree between the court
house and the Bank of Greenesville. An
active youth climbed to the first limb,
the rope was thrown to him and he
placed the end over the branch and
dropped it to the crowd. "Now. every
body pull" said some one, and many
willing hands hoisted the murderer
IIolu JhS SIOuuu. several outlets were
fired into the Negroes body.
Negroes Demand White Mans Life.
A cry went up for the life of O'Grady,
the white man. A rush was made for
the jail. The negroes in the mob were
especially loud in demanding that
O'Grady be lynched. you have killed
the negro, now lynch the white man."
they demanded. Former Judge George
p. Barham, who had led the mob that
lynched Cotton, made speech to the
crowd. He said that Cotton was
confessed murderer while O'Grady
claimed TO be innocent. Lets give him
achance to prove that he is not guilty."
said the judge.
1--WE know he is guilty." replied
scores of voices. Col. Field, of Peters
burg, also begged the mob not to act
hastily. These pleadings were of no
avail and the mob again broke into the
Jail and brought O'Grady out with
rope about his neck. He was hanged
to the tree where Cotton had been
lynched. Most of those pulling the
rope were negroes. He soon expired
from strangulation.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con.
ditlon of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
1amed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by cat
arrh, which is nothing but an inhamed
coalition of the mucous surfaces.

Washington, d. c., March 26.-In
the senate Saturday afternoon Mr..
Allison called up and passed without
amendment Hull's bill to authorize
the establishment of military post
near Des Moines. There was no OBJ
lection on the part of any one and
consequently the bill now goes direct

How to Save Doctor Bills

We have save many doctor bills
since we began using Chamberlain IS
Cough Remedy in our home. We
keep a bottle open all the time and
whenever any of my family or myself
begin to catch cold we begin to use
the Cough Remedy and as a result
we never have to send away for a
doctor and incur large doctor bill,
for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
never fails to cure. 1t is certainly a
medicine of great merit and worth

Fatal,Corn Cutter.

Fairfield Journal: The corn cutter
which caused the recent death of
Frank Stever has fatal history. In
1894 it was spurchased by a man
named Nelson Glotfelty, who in op-
Grating it had his hand mashed and
died a week or ten days later with
lockjaw. James Speer then became
the owner of itIand the accident was
repeated. Mr.. Speer undergoing
three amputations on account of
blood poisoning. lie is now minus a
hand. 1t was afterward purchased
by the Stevers, and as our readers
all know, the accident was again re-
peated on the person of Frank Stever
who lost his life from lockjaw as a
result of the accident. That machine
ought to be cremated.

cades, but no flames could be perceived
from the outside.
Apprehensions were at first felt lest the
fire should spread to the magnificent
Sales Des Fetes, where the inauguration
took place, and the foreign electric sec
ton, in which the United States has an
important exhibit was also gravely
threatened. 1t was filled with smoke, and
beyond blackening the ceiling and walls
no damage was done.
The minister of commerce, M Mile
rand, the prefect of police, NJ. Lepine,
the commissioner general of the exposi-
ton, NJ. Picard and Gen. Dalstein,
reached the scene very quickly and aided
in the direction Of the police and fire bri-
gade. The workmen in the basement had
narrow escapes and three were nearly as
phyxiated when rescued.
The outbreak was confined to the
ground floor Of the chateau, where much
woodwork and decorative hangings were
destroyed.
AS NJ. Lepine feared the fire might have
impaired the foundations he caused the
galleries and halls underneath the cha
teau to be evacuated until the experts
declare there is no danger of collaps.

New Confession of Faith.

MANILA, APRIL 15.-The most sensa-
tional of the events Of the past week,
has been the beneral distribution by the
Jesuits Of pamphlet in which is set
forth the truths which Christians must
observe" Among the things most strong
ly condemned by the Jesuits in this
pamphlet are religious tolerance and rec
ognition of civil marriage. Consequently
this act of the Jesujts is considered by
many to be an attack upon the American
administration. The pamphlet in ques-
tion says:
l. The commands of the church must b
obeyed in the same manner as the law
of God.
2. You must subject your own judgment
to that Of the church and think exactly
as the church thinks for the church can
not be overcome.
8. You must reject and condemn the
Masonic sect, so frequently rejected and
condemned by the supreme pontiffs.
4. You must also reject and condemn
liberty Of worship, liberty of the press,
liberty of thought and the other liberties
of perdition condemned ana rejected by
the press.
5. You must also reject and condemn
liberalism and also modern progress and
civilization as being false progress nd
civilization.
G. You must utterly abominate civil
marriage and regard it as pure concubin-
age
7. You must also condemn and reject
the interference of the civil authorities in
any ecclesiastical affairs, so much in
vogue nowadays.
s. Finally, you must hold the belief that
hte church by its origin has a divine and
supernatural authority, and is, moreover,
superior to the civil authorities. And re-
ject and condemn the doctrine that the
church still submit to the state or that
the church is independent or to separate
itself from the church. Children must
be brought up in the above views, con-
demning whatever the church condemns.
And children must be educated solely in
Catholic schools by genuinely Catholic
teachers and not on any account in unsec-
tartan schools, which are strictly forbid
den by the church.
The foregoing commands are backed up

come to them and the party then took
carriages for the hotel Manhattan,
where the ENJOYS will lodge during
their stay in this city.
Productions all around and then ex-
Judge Van Housen recited an addreas
of welcome.
Mr.. Fischer responded saying:
81 thank you most heartily for this
welcome you have extended to us. Tie
warmth of welcome does not lie in the
length OF words used, but in deeds
We believe that the American people
viii lalso extend to us a hearty welcome
for uors is a cause that is dear to their
hearts. We are lighting for our country.
AS soon as they come to understand
our cause, they will, ! believe, voice the
welcome you have just given us"
Mayor Fagan Of Hoboken delivered
an address Of welcome and rendered
the visitors the freedom of the city
The ENJOYS were eager to hear the
latest news fro the war. When told
of the reverses of their arms and of
the advances made by Lord Roberts,
they merely shrugged their shoulders.
"Such news" said Mr.. Fischer, "does
not discOncert us in the least. We read
the dispatches between the lines, be-
sides what difference does one or a
dozen reverses mean to us? We never
propose to stop fighting until we have
gained what we are fighting for-iur
independence"
The delegates were reticent concern
ing their plans.

hinder our cause. We should like 10
have the government arbtrate with
England and undoubtedly we shall go
to Washington and try to have an auI-
ience with President Mckinley If we
cannot induce the government to 90
what we like, we shall try to arouse
the people so that they will compel the
government to recognize US in that
way"

The ancients believed that rheuma-
tism WAS the work of a demon within
man. Any one who has had an at
tack of sciatic or inflammatory rheu-
matism will agree that the affliction is
demoniac enough to warrant the be-
lief. 1t has never been claimed that
hamberlain's Pain Balm would cast
out demons, but it will cure rheuma-
tism, and hundreds bear testimony to
the truth of this statement. One ap-
plication relieves the pain, and this
quick relief which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. For sale
