The Marietta Daily Leader.
BRONCO EVANGELIST.
Novel Methods Used by William
Mullen to Spread the Gospel.
Breaks and Trains Vicious Horses
on city Lots and Then breaches
to the Assembled and In
terested Crowds.

William Mullen, the bronco evangel-
list, who obtained a warrant from May
or Harrison. of Chicago, to break
horses as an incident TO a sermon, at
tracted big crowd to the city lot near
the Art Institute the other afternoon.
Mullen subdued two vicious broncos,
and between the two he caught big
crowd that listened to his talks on the
Christian life.
Rev. X. A. Torrey of the Moody in
stitute, asked Mayor Harrison to allow
Mr.. Mullen to break horses in connec-
tion with his preaching of the Gospel.
Mr.. Torrey adhered strictly to the
truth, and told the mayor he had never
seen Mr.. Mullen break horse or SUBJ
due bucking bronco, but that he knew
he was a good Christian. The mayor
gave the permit to Mr.. Mullen, who Sc
lected the lot on the lake front al
most opposite the Chicago Athletic
club.
AT first Mr. Mullen thought he was
not to have a good crowd to preach to.
But the first bronco proved such a
tough proposition for the evangelist
that a crowd quickly gathered Mr..
Mullen is horse hypnotist, but he as
sists his hypnotsm with a sort of rig
ging. The rigging controls the move
ments of the broncos limbs. The first
bronco finally obeyed the horse break
er. Then Mr.. Mullen preached a SER
mon to the crowd. The next horse was
fighting mad when the rigging was
placed on it. While it was getting over
its temper another sermon was
preached to a crowd of 500. By the
time the horse was thoroughly tanned
the crowd had grown until the lot was
covered. The evangelist preached an
other sermon.

common branches, the children are
taught vocal, and some instrumental,
music. They have an organ in the
school room. The organ is usually
played by girl of fifteen years of age.
This little Miss has been an inmate Of
the Home for several years and will
be retained at the Home as long as she
wishes to stay. When any one asks
for a child from the Home, a most
careful investigation is made as to the
character and disposition of those by
whom the child is wanted. If there is
any doubt as to the treatment that the
child will receive, the child will not be
given out. There are often applica-
tions from persons for children, who
want them only for the service that
can be obtained from them When
people who have no children ask for a
child from the Home, it can usually be
depended upon that the child will get
a good home and pleasant treatment.

MAN AND WIFE NEVER SPOKE,
Missouri Couples Quarrel Results in
a Silence for Twelve
Years.

An eccentric couple was recently
parted by the death of James A. Fauhn
at Campbell, Dunklin county, Mo.
Twelve years ago he and his wife
agreed to part on account of some
trivial misunderstanding, each max
ing their home with one of their chill
dren. Eight months after their sep
aration their children brought about a
reunion between them, which, while it
did not adjust the old differences that
existed between them, yet brought
them together again under the same
roof, where they lived until the hus-
bands death last week
They lived peculiar life after the
reunion, however. Both being of n
stubborn disposition, they refused to
speak to each other. They occupied
chairs at the same table, but never
word passed between them. All at
tempts of their offspring to hiring about
a reconciliation were of no avail. Mr..
Fauhn was "A years old at his death
and his wife is 72.

MR.. TIM. MURPHY IN GA. BACHE-
J.OR,S ROMANCE

LOR'S ROMANCE"
Considerable interest has been
aroused among local theatre-goers by
the announcement of the engagement
of Tim Murphy in Bachelors Ro-
nance at the Auditorium shortly. Mr..
Murphy's tour is directed by Fred G.
Berger, who is also the manager for
SOL S. Russell. The latter, on the ad-
vice of his physicians, has decided to
rest for another season and Mr.. Berger
is personally directing the present
tour of Mr.. Murphy.
In stepping into the shoes of Mr..
Russell, Mr.. Murphy has assumed a
task which is sure to attract attention.
In cities where he has appeared this
season, he has been regarded as a
capable successor of Mr.. Russell.
Frederick Edward MacKay, in the
New York Mail and Express comments
as follows:
"Mr. Murphy is one of the best act
ors to day in evidence. He combines
the quaint, homespun pathos of Sol.
Smith Russell with the sterling com
edy of Nat Goodwin. He has struck
into a vein of intense, stirring, soul
full playing that makes him easily
worthy to star straight along in our
best theatres. This actor gives evil
dence of the fact that his non-admis-
sion heretofore has been New York s
loss, for he is distinct, original, force
full in himself, and far above the appre-
citation of anything but an audience of
culture and discrimination"

The peripatetic musicians who push
the piano organs through the streets
must have a very poor opinion of hu-
man nature, says the Boston Tran
script. They cannot love those who re.
Iuse TO contribute, and they must have
supreme contempt for the people who
are willing to pay for the kind of music
that is dealt out by them.

INDIANS CHANGE TACTICS
They Will Make an Attempt to Seize
 Guayamas.

Austin, Tex, February 19.-Information reaching here today from Ortiz, state of Sonora, Mexico, is to the effect that courier has been dispatched after General Torris and the Mexican forces who are now supposed to be some fifty miles or more in the immediate center of the Yaqui Indian country engaging rowing bands of Indians almost daily.
 The cause of this special messager is that information has been received from sup posedly reliable source that the main body of the Yaquis, some 1000 strong, are march, ing to Guayamas. Mexico, with view of capturing that town with all its supplies, stores and inhabitants. Tho Mexican gov- ernment has some 300 soldiers there in charge of the garrison and the regimental supplies, and while the town is strongly fortified 1t is feared that the large force of Indians will prove too much for the sol- diers The change from bush-whacking tactics hitherto employed by the Indians, to an open siege of town is supposed to be due to the fact that the Indians want the supplies stored at Guayamas.

SHARKEY PUTS
 JEFFORDS OUT The Big California Aspirant Lost His Fond Ambition in the
 Second Round.

Detroit, Mich, February 19[rom Shar- key tonight knocked out Jim Jeffords, the California aspirant for heavyweight hon. ors, in the second round of what was to nave been.a ten-round bout The men had second round when the knockout was delivered. They were breaking from a clinch when Sharkey whipped his right over the Cadifornian's head and Jeffords went down. Referee Hogan counted him out, and 1t was several minutes before he recovered sufficiently to talk. Then he claimed foul, saying Sharkey hit him in the break-away, although they had agreed to break clean. The referee, however, re- fused to entertain this 'kick'' and awarded the fight to Sharkey.
 There was no preliminary Adding when the gong started the first round. The men met in the center of the ring and mixed 1t from the start. As tiheycame to clinch both slipped and fell to the floor. Sharkey kept rushing Jeffords and just before the end of the round sent him to the floor. When they came up for the second round the Californian seemed in good shape. Shar- key went right after him. He cut Jeffords' left eye open and kept it bleeding with his right hand The men were in Jeffords' cor ner when the knockout occurred. Sharkey broke from the clinch and sent his right over the tall mans head who lurched for ward, went to his knees and then turned over on hds breast. At the count of ten Referee Hogan declared Sharkey the win ner amid the cries of 'sfouI' from the spec tators, who thought the sailor had hit Jeff ords f,, oIip STbia " ac the men had both arms free when the blow was delivered. About $500 people witness ed the bout which was pulled off in the Light Guard armory under the auspices of the Cadillac Athletic club.
 After the men had gone to their dress ing rooms Referee Hogan expressed the opinion that Jeffords "laid down." Some of the sporting men at the ringside shared this opinion

DEBATE ON PORTO
 RICAN TARIFF BILL Involves the Question of Governing Our
 New Possessions. ~ s-s;s-s A BITTER BATTLE BEGINS
Democrats Have Some Strong Republi-
 can Help.
TO CONSUME WEEK
Interesting Features Were Lacking Yes terday, But it is Evidently the Calm Preceding Storm-Speeches
 Given Close Attention

Washington, February 19.-The debate up- on the Porto Rican tariff bffl, which is to continue throughout the week, and possibly longer, opened in the house to-day. On all hands it is agreed that this bill. al- though it applies to Porto R1ao, involving as it does, the question of the power to gov ern our new possessions outside the nmita- tions of the constitutions, ts the most in- portant measure which will come before this congress. Interest in the bill is intense among the members on beth sides, and there is urgent demand for time. The dem- ocrats are solidly arrayed against the meas ure, and they will have powerful support from the republican side in MT. Mccall of Massachusetts, and Mir Littlefield of Maine, both able and forceful debeters.
 How far the republican disaffection will extend or whether it will endapger the bill it is impossible to say at this time.
 Mir. Payne, the floor leader of the major ity, refused to agree that a vote should be taken upon a substitute to be offered by the minority. This substitute, which has not yet been framed, will be in substance the bill originally introduced by MT. Payne, providing for free trade with Porto Rico by tho extension of the customs and revenue laws of the United States over the island. The debate to-day lacked exciting features. It was in the nature of a losg-range bom- bardment before the clash of the contendfng forces in battle. MT. Payne opened with general argument in support of the bill, going largely into the cnaterial side of the situation, which the bill is designed to re- lieve, MT. Richardson, the democratic lead CT joined issue upon the power of congress to enalcit the proposed legis.ation, and Mir. Dalzen of Pennsylvania backed up MT. Payne with a constitutional and legal arr gument. All three were listened to with , ,..o~., ft.
 Talbert locked Night Session
 Nothing was accomplished at the night session of the house, which was to have been devoted to pension legislation. MT. Tal- bert of South Carolina made the point of no quorum and blocked proceedings. The house remained in session until 10 o'clock in the hope of getting quorum, and then adjourned.
