The popular idea expressed in the
phrase, vthe art OF self-defense," shows
the opinion that the chief enemies man
mas to defend himself from are visible
and external. But the real danger of
every man is from minute and often in
visible foes. In the air we breathe aud
the water we drink are countless minute
organisms leagued against the health Of
the body.
The one defense against these enemies
is to keep the blood pure. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery thoroughly
purifies the blood, removing poisonous
substances and accretions. When the
blood is pure there is no harborage for
the germs of disease which find a lodg-
ing only when the blood is impure and
corrupt.

one of the best medicines the face of the

.sENsELESs AND SILLY"

Christian Science Is So Characterised By
Reverend Vance.
A sensation marked the first session
the Christian Endeavors' convention
in Atlants. Ca, Thursday night. Rev.
James I. Vance. of Nashville, in the
course of an able sermon, attacked the
Christian Scientists creed vigorously
and condemned it as senseless and
silly.
DIR. Vance made an allusion in his
remarks which is believed to be at
least partial endorsement of Dr.. Hill
lis and DR.. Parkhurst's attack on the
Westminster confession of faith. He
said:
81 want to say that I do not delieve
we should be held back from truth by
a dead hand. The modern conception
of God is truer, believe, than it has
ever been before. If I am clinging
to any faith that can be torn down by
the light of truth, the sooner find it
out the better it will be for me" Z"
Referring to Christian Scientists, he
said:
Glow do you explain that so many
senseless and silly isms get so many
foilowers2, Any creed can get fol.
lowing these days. If q man should
say that dropping off this house and
falling on the hard flag stones below
is the only way to salvation some peo-
pie would drop off the house to be
saved. Take, for example, Christian
Science. Can you explain how it is
that sensible people can bring them
selves to believe in such creed as
that? believe it is because they
have never been able to establish them
selves in Gods doctrine"
The preacher took for his text the
tenth verse of the fifth chapter of first
Peter, and founded on it his subject:
"Ged's Altar Stairs to Perfection.
he referred to the admirable faith OF
the Beers in the South African war.
"Whatever side We are in sympathy
witb," he said, eve cannot help but
admire the Beers for their sublime
faith in their God"

COLSON LIBERATED.
Jury Declared Slayer of Scott and
Demaree Not Guilty--Ova-
tion In Court Room.

Ex-Congressman David j. Colson.
who was tried at Frankfort, KY, for
the murder of Lieutenant Ethelbert
Scott and Luther w. Demaree, was
acquitted at 6:35 o'clock Saturday
evening. The trial lasted four days.
The jury was out only eighteen min
utes. There was silence as the jury
filed into the court, and the court
clerk, Ford, read the verdict.
As the last words were read, the
crowd arose and sent up q wild cheer.
Colonel Colson, the defendant, was
standing near the witness chair. The
crowd took no notice OF the court off,
GERS, vine pounded vigorously for or
der, but piled over the ratings sur
rounding Colson and insisted on
shaking hands with him. They gave
an ovation to the jury and Colonel
James Andrews, Colson's chief coun-
sci. The cheering was kept up till
Colonel Colson left the court room,
aud as he did so, it was taken up by
the Byckham soldiers in front of the
court house, to which the colonel very
very gracefully returned the salute.
Colson received messages from all
over the state congratulating him on
his acquittal. The tragedy which re-
suited in Colson's trial was duel
with Lieutenant Ethelbert F. Scott in
the lobby of the Capital hotel in
Frankfort, in which Colson killed his
antagonist, Scott, and Luther w. De-
maree and Charles Julian, bystanders,
and wounded Captain B. B. Golden.
Both Scott and Colson emptied their
pistols, fifteen or twenty shots being
fred in all. Scott had seven bullets in
his body; Colson was wounded in the
arm. He received the wound early In
the fight and it was shown that Scott
fred first.
Colonel Colson was tried on an In
dictment charging him with the muir
der of Scott. He is also indicted for
killing Demaree, but this will now be
dismissed.

BOLTED CONVENTION.
Tennessee Republicans Will Send
Two Sets of Delegates to
Philadelphia.

A Nashville special says: The e1-
pected split in the Tennessee State Re-
publican Convention came Friday with
the result that not only were two dele
cations sent to the Philadelphia con-
vention, but two full state tickets
were nominated, two platforms adopt
ed and two state committees named.
The Evans men were patient to the
supreme moment and exhausted their
resources for getting what they called
fair treatment before choosing the Oh
~ alternative Of boiling or submitting.
The convention sat for two hours
awaiting the report of the committee
on credentials, which had worked all
night Thursday. This committee
finally reported at noon Friday, recon-
mending the seating of the Brownlow
delegation in twenty-three counties,
the Evans delegation ia one county,
and that both delegations be seated
and the vote divided into twelve coun-
ties.
A minority report, favoring the seat
ing of the Evans delegations in nine;
teen counties was presented, aud q
motion to substitute the minority for
the majority report was voted on
without debate, the vote being ayes,
163; noes, 800.
As soon as this result was announced
Colonel w. 8. Upton hurried to the
rear of the hall, and after a moments
consultation with Newell Sanders.
Evans manager, returned and called
upon all of Evans friends and all the
delegates who were for the fair thing
to leave the hall. The majority of the
Evans delegates left and proceeded to
the lower floor of the capitol, where
Colonel Upton made a speech, telling
how Turneyism in Tennessee and Goe-
belisna in Kentucky had been outdone.
A band, which was on hand, then
struck up lively tune and the hun
dred or so delegates who had quit the
ball and the four hundred or more who
had been refused admission, marched
to the Amusement hall and organized
another convention.
