Baptist Bible School Rally.

Three weeks ago Superintendent Haw-
ley of the Baptist Bible school issued his
annual letter and invitation to every
member to be present at the annual rally
which was to take place on Sunday, Sept.
g. the first Sunday after the return of
Pastor Marble from his vacation. Dur
Ing the summer the chapel has undergone
very thorough renovation and as the
repairs were not completed the rally was
postponed for a week. Sunday, the 18th.
was a day of gloom and the rally was
postponed until the 22d.
Last Sunday was an ideal day and q
large audience greeted DR.. Marble at the
morning service. A strong sermon en-
phasizing the value and great need of
Bible study was most fitting to the &C.
casion. The session of the Bible school
was entirely given up to general eXer-
cises, including special singing by the
male quartet and by a large chorus
trained for the occasion, a solo by
Maude Young. recitations by Ellen Sher-
man, "Our Rally Day." and by Gladys
Evans. "a Time for Rally Day." song
by Lyman Smith, etc. There was also a
brief congratulatory address by the SUI
perintendent, and afterward DR.. Marble
spoke briefly on what next?" After
referring to the improvements in their
surroundings and felicitathg all upon
their beautiful Bible school room, he
made two suggestions for the future, viz,
list: more scholars, so that every class
room might be crowded every Sunday as
well as Rally day. I'd: better and more
thorough study on the part of the schol-
ars. An earnst prayer of re-dedica-
ton by the pastor closed the service
Because of repeated postponements the
attendance only aggregated ABS. The
chapel has been painted, the walls re-
tinted, and the floor covered with we'll
chosen carpet of terra Gotta shade. New
windows of white ondoyant glass have
been placed. A perfect harmony of col
oring and effect, which is restful and
pleasing to the eye in an unusual degree
has been maintained throughout, and the
chapel is now a model of convenience
and good taste.

Col. HoIbrook squeIched Herr Most

The New York Press of Saturday told
the following story of the experiences of
Herr Most, the anarchist leader, when he
appeared in the court in New York city
over which Col. William c. Holbrook is
the presiding Judge:
Sharp rebuke, too, was administered
to Johann Most, the Anarchist, when he
appeared in the court of Special Sessions
yesterday to plead to the charge that fol-
lowed the printing of an editorial in his
paper, Die Freiheit, on the day President
Mckinley was shot. He was defiant
when his name was called.
"Have you a lawyer" asked Justice
Holbrook, who was presiding.
mo, 1 have not" angrily replied the
anarchist 81 don't need one, for 1 am
fully able to conduct my own case. 1
plead not guilty to the charge"
The manner Most assumed offended
the Court, and Justice Holbrook indig-
nantly retorted:
you are here to answer to a charge
of committing a crime, and I will not
have you giving any spectacular perform
ances in this court and l warn you not
to attempt any. l will put your case
over, and, mind you, when 1t is called, l
want you to appear with a lawyer"
Most tried to make a speech declaring
his rights, but a court officer grabbed him
and hustled him out of the room.

czOIsOsz Sentenced to Die Last of
October.

Leon r. Czolgosz, the assassin of Presi-
dent Mckinley, was sentenced to be put
to death by electricity in Auburn state
prison during the week beginning Oct.
IS. Before sentence was passed, the as
sassin evinced a desire to speak. but he
could not get his words above a whisper
and his words were repeated to the court
by his counsel. Judge Titus repeated as
follows: lowing to the prisoners feeble
voice, he says no one had anything to do
with the commission of his crime, but
himself; that his father and mother, and
no one else, had anything to do with, and
knew nothing about It," The prisoner
continues: II was not told anything
about that crime, and I never thought
anything about murder, until a couple
of days before I committed the crime"
Judge Titus again repeated as follows:
He never told any one about the crime,
and never intended to commit II until a
couple of days before its commission"
Then Justice White passed sentence, as
follows: I'm taking the life of our beloved
President, you committed crime which
shocked and outraged the moral sense Of
the civilized world. You have confessed
that guilt, and after learning all that at
this time can be learned from the facts
and circumstances of the case. II good
Jurors have pronounced you guilty, and
have found you guilty of murder in the
first degree. You have said, according to
the testimony of creditable witnesses and
yourself, that no other person aided or
abetted you in the commission of this
terrible act. God grant II may be So.
The penalty for the crime for which you
stand convicted is fixed by statute, and It
now becomes my duty to pronounce this
judgment against you. The sentence of
the court is that, in the week beginning
Oct. %, 1901, at the place. in the manner
and means prescribed by law. you suffer
the punishment of death. Remove the
prisoner" The prisoner was hurried
down stairs and through the tunnel back
to the jail, and the crowd dispersed.

25th or 2sth President?
[From the Barre TImes.l

1t has probably been noted by most of
the readers of the Times that some news
papers refer to Roosevelt as the 18th and
some as the 26th president of the United
States. 1t all depends on whether Cleve-
land is counted once or twice. In 1884
Cleveland was elected the 22d president
and in 1888 Harrison was chosen the 23d.
Then Cleveland was reelected and the
question at once arose whether he should
be counted both as the 22d and oath pres
ident or only as the 22nd. The weight of
opinion and the usage of the leading
papers seems to be in favor of counting
Cleveland twice, (which would make Nc
Kinley the 25th president and Roosevelt
the 26th. All the presidents who served
two terms. with the exception of Cleve-
land, held the Office continuously for the
full period without an administration in
between so the question never arose be-
fore,
