A GOOD THING.

The American Academy of Political
and Social Science which meets an
nually i'm Philadelphia, is composed of
leading thinkers, writer's and agitators
on political and social subjects, has in
vited President Winston, CT the A. and
M. College. to address them on the race
question.
The restriction of the suffrage in the
Southern States, the growth of lynch
law against negroes in the Northern
States. the negro problems in Cuba,
Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines,
the failure of negro education along
present lines and other causes have set
the Yankees to thinking and possibly
opened their minds to conviction as to
the real state of the negro race and it's
real needs.
1t is good sign certainly when such
Southern men as President Winston are
invited to address Ma, thern people on
the negro question.
We are glad that president Winston
has accepted the invitation. for we are
sure that his address will do good.

BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Rev DR.. Torrey, the Chicago Evangelist, on
the Subject Yesterday Afternoon.

Rev. Dr. r. II. Torrey, the noted
evangelist from ChicaSo, spoke yester-
day in the morning, afternoon and night
to large congregations at the Baptist
Tabernacle
His afternoon address was on the Bap-
tism of the Holy Spirit. He read from
Acts Ia, 5 and 8, and showed that the
baptism of the Holy spirit was thing
so definite that one VIII know when ne
receives it; that it is separate and dis
tinct from regeneration, 1t sometimes
happens, however, that conversion and
baptism with the Holy Ghost take place
at the same time, ana such would be
the case in the normal state of the
church, but the church. is not in its nor
NAL state. What this baptism does, the
speaker said, is to import the power for
testimony and service. II is not pri-
marily to make us happy, and not pir-
marily to make us holy. The current
idea that it is the eradication of the
carnal nature is not true; it simply
helps us to continually combat the
world and the flesh. TO emphasize
what he meant by the power for tes-
timony and service DR.. Torrey told how
Mr. Phinney, the lawyer evangelist,
Holy Spirit, converted the entire Roch-
ester bar, lawyers, judges and all.
But, he explained, It will not give a
man power as an evangelist unless God
has called him to that work. 1t will
give power as teacher. as mother, as
a father, in whatever vocation one is
called. Touching the subject of moth
erhood, DIR. Torrey said that motherhood
is the most sacred Office in the Bible;
that the ideal woman IS the mother
Taking up the question of the abso-
lutte necessity of baptism by the Holy
Ghost, the speaker declared that man
is unqualified to preach unless he has
received that baptism, and that one is
unqualified for teaching, for mother
hood or fatherhood.
AS to the possibility he showed by
Acts ii, 80, that we can all have it. The
promise there mentioned is for all of us
The solemn fact your responsibility
was dwelt upon. If we are not willing
to pay the p"ice for this baptism, we
will be held responsible for every soul
lost that might have been saved through
our power derived from the Holy
Spirit will be taken up.

it shows that only the most stringent
regulations will keep the State adoption
in North Carolina from the suspicious ana
scandals that have attended school book
adoption in other States.

IN A PIT
Light on a Horrible Crime of
Long Ago.
Discovery of Skeleton Probably That of
Woman Murdered by Her Husband by
Slow Starvation.
(By the Associated Press. }

Poultney, VT, March 27.-Workmen re-
moving cellar wall under a dilapidated
building just north of the bridge that
crosses Fair Haven River a quarter of a
mile above Carvers Falls. have apparent
ly unearthed evidence which solves the
mystery of a murder which occurred
seventy years ago.
The discovery was made by accident,
the laborers having fallen into pit
while trying to lift some heavy stones.
The pit was about eight feet deep, with
a solid stone wall about twenty inches
thick surrounding it. In the centre of the
pit was set solid iron post, attached to
which was heavy iron chain and an old
fashioned pair of handouts Nearby was
heap of human bones Inquiry dis
closed the fact that in 1881 Perry Borden,
young Frenchman, brought his young
wife to Poultney to live in the house
which the workmen are tearing down.
She was witty and vivacious and at
tracted considerable attention In a
short time Borden became jealous of her
and forbade her visiting certain tavern
nearby. The wife would not submit to be
dictated to. One night in November, 1881
she was at the place when at about 10
o'clock Borden called for her. She left
the place with him. She never was seen
by her friends after that.
Mr. Borden said his wife had deserted
him and fed to Canada
After year Borden went away, and
was not heard of again until 1882, when
he suddenly re-appeared in town. He
said he had been at sea for the so years
he had been away. His mind seemed
shattered. He went to the little house
and remained two years, neighbors sup
plying him with provisions He finally
became sick and the town took charge Of
him. He died in 1897 and was buried in
the potters field.
The discoveries made by the workmen
have led everyone in this vicinity to be-
lieve that Borden chained his wife in the
underground cellar and left her to die
horrible death.

OWNS ITS LIGHTING PLANT.
Gale burg VIII BE Operating Municipal
Electric System Soon.


The city of Galesburg in very few
nights will be operating its electric
light plant. All that remains to COM
plete the system is the connecting of
steam pipes and the installation Of
the feed water heater, the pump for
which is already in place But few
western cities are lighted by their
own electricity. The new system is
operated in conjunction with the
waterworks plant, which is also
owned by the city. and which, from
financial point of view, has saved the
city large sum in hydrant rents.
Both plants are under the same roof.
and the electric lighting system re-
quires only little additional help,
the city electrician and the trimmer.
The estimates by the city council
have been that the new system will
furnish street lighting and more of it
at less expense than could be fur
nished by a private company, espe-
cially when run in connection with
the waterworks. The new plant,
with the new building, erected over
both departments. cost the tax payers
about $41. 900. The contract price
for the electric lighting system was
$33, 800, while the expense of the new
building was $1,000.

opinion is growing that t1e apportion-
ment bills will be fercely contested

recalcitrants into line. The senate
