Briefly, her mother had died sudden

widow several years, and always
earned a good income, but never ac-
cumulated any money. She had given
her daughter an education, and now
Hecuba had taken her mothers place

earn it.

GOVERNOR BECKHAM
Urged to Recall Order Removing
DIR. E. B. Mccormick.

An audience Of $50 or 200 repre-
tive citizens assembled at the Court
House Monday night to take action
upon the condition of affairs at the
asylum. DR.. w. G: Wheeler was
elected Chairman Of the meeting
and a committee composed of every
physician in the audience was APP
pointed to draft resolutions express
sive of the sentiment of the house
The resolutions are as follows:
Whereas, DR., E. B. Mccormick
has been removed from the Super
intendency of the Western Asylum
for the Insane on account of serious
charges against his character and
in the face of unanimous protest
from the Commissioners of said in
stitution and without fair andA foil
opportunity to vindicate himself.
Resolved, That we, as citizens of
Christian county, express our sym
patty for and confidence in DR.. e.
b. Mccormick, and deplore the
hasty action without having given
the gentleman accused the fullest
opportunity and the strictest legal
surroundings to meet his accussxs
and disprove said charges and wv
dictate his good name. We believS
that his removal, without full,
free and fair trial, is a grieyous
outrage on personal rights and
official responsibility.
Resolved, further, that we, as
citizens of Hopkinsville, KY, most
earnestly request the Governor of
this Commonwealth to set aside the
order of removal, and give to DR.. e.
B. Mccormick a full, fair and legal
investigation, assuring him id add
vance that the result will meet the
approval of all good people every
where.

1t was a typical winter afternoon,
snowy and cold. Judith DAILY sighed
a little dsconsolately as she came
down from the office where she was
employed, and started across City Hall
park to take the Broadway ear. She
was tired of being poor and working
for her living, but as she came in

who stood on the corner her conscience

Third Day OF the Convention of the Inter

San francisco, July 21.-The spirit
OF animation and enthusiasm marked
the work of the third day of the In
ternatlonal Epworth league conven-
tion. The delegates had been ad-
monlshed at the close of Friday's
meeting by Rev. Dr. Berry, general

had been too much sightseeing and that
all should get to work and pump sal

shine and cool, invigorating breeze

ors sought the places of meeting ear
ly. Every one had become rested and
there was an entire absence of any,
thing resembling weariness En-
thusiasm and a manifest determina-
ton to make this the big day of the
convention was everywhere evident
Everything went with vim that had
been lacking at some of the previous
sessions. Again did the sunrise PRAYER
meetings, with which the day opened,
draw crowded houses at every one of
the four principal Methodist places of
worship. From that early hour on
throughout the morning every path
seemed to lead crowds to the Pavil-
ion. the Alhambra theater. the Metro
politan temple, Central and Howard
street churches. The nine o'clock
opening song service at each of these
assembling places saw greater au-
diences than had before joined in the
first hymn of the day. A long pro-
gramme of speeches was gone through
with commendable promptness.

READING STRIKERS QUIET.
The Sixty Imported Mechanics Have Not
Been Put to Work and Are Stin Quar-

Reading, Pa, July 21.-A calm has
developed to-day in the troubles at the
Philadelphia & Reading railway shops
here. due to the fact that the 60 inn
ported mechanics were not put to
work. The men who walked out yes
terday because of the presence of the
strangers are still away and the en-
ployes who remained are awaiting the
action of the company as to the dis
position of the strangers. The latter
remain quartered on the third floor
of the locomotive shops. The strikers
were directed not to go on company
property at any time and at all times
refrain from acts of violence. They
were also cautioned to stay away from
the saloons. The prevailing impress
sion here Saturday was that Superin-
tendent Prince. of the Reading shops,

The ColoneI's Answer.

Lieut.. Col. Hugh l.. Scott, of the
United States volunteers, formerly
captain of the Seventh cavalry, is
known in the army as an officer who
probably knows more about Indian
sign language than any other living
man. At one time Col. Scott made a
standing offer of 81 to any redsl1in
who could show him sign used by
any tribe which he did not know.
The colonel is also peculiarly absent
minded, fact which was emphasized
at his marriage few years ago. As
he stood at the altar with his bride,
the officiating clergyman asked him
the usual question as to taking the
woman beside him to be his wife.
The colonel placed two fingers upon
his left eyebrow. After an embar-
rassing pause the clergyman repeat
ed the question, and again the two
fingers went solemnly to the left.
