 From the summit can be easily seen the Grand Canyon of Arizona, seventy miles away, and with a good field glass on a clear day, the view can be extended into Old Mexico, Nevada, California, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico.

OF the case. Counsel We're just as
much at loss as anyone else, and
they found equal difficulty with other
persons in assigning any reasonable
explanation to account for the absence
of their clients, other than that gem
orally accepted-that they have de-
camped.
The lawyers were reduced to the
necessity of jokes partially to conceal
their disappointment and chagrin. AS
possible explanation of the matter
one of them suggested that as Col.
Gaynor passed through North Caro-
lima il had suddenly occurred to him
that he had never been married in that
state and he had stopped over for the
purpose of supplying the omission,
while Capt. Greene had remained as
best man at the wedding, and to see
his friend and business associate safe
ly embarked on his most recent matri-
monial venture. There were other ex-
plantations of the like character sug-
gested.
Surmises as to the probable desti-
nation of Capt. Greene and Col. Gay
nor, accepting the theory that they
have decamped were as numerous as
most of them are wild. There are
number of countries with which the
United States have no treaties of ex-
tradition, but it is regarded as doubt
full If even in these countries, unless
they are able to conceal their pres
ence and identity, the defendants will
be able to find safe haven of refuge.
May Have Followed Tom Hunter.
In this connection the case of Thorn
as Hunter, the defaulting ticket agent
at the Union depot in Atlanta, is re-
membered. Hunter got away from
this country with large sums of money
and went to Algiers, following the ad-
vice of a celebrated London barrister
who is regarded as an authority on
the subject of extradition. There is no
extradition treaty between Algiers and
this country. and Hunter doubtless felt
he was perfectly safe.
He found himself mistaken. A secret
service agent located him within a
week of his arrival and all that was
necessary to secure his return was
request from the President upon the
Sultan. Hunter was promptly de-
livered to the officer sent from this
country to effect his arrest and bring
him back to stand trial. The impress
sion is that if a defendant charged
with stealing a few thousand dollars
can be brought back from Algiers, one

IAN OLD MANS PRAYER"
The Subject of an Address in Tenn
pie MickVa Israel.


Rev. DR.. 1. P. Mendes at the Tenn
pie Mickva Israel, took as the sub
ject of his address yesterday evening,
"An Old Mans Prayer" In his intro
duction he said that kindness is a
language that the dumb can speak
ard that even the deaf can hear; that
it is refreshing and invigorating to
human beings to be placed in a posi-
ton where they can gain inspiration
and encoura cement from the pages of
history; and that to their everlasting
credit be it said that they grasp every
opportunity that presents itself, and
thereby tend to their advancement
and happiness.
The lecture itself, the speaker based
upon a story of which Jerusalem is
the scene, and the time centuries ago.
In that place and at that time, he said
there lived man whose life had been
so pure and pious that it was thought
that his prayers had the potency of
those of Elijah.
About that time also there arose a
dissention among the people of Jeru-
salem, the people being of one fac
ton and tie priests of the other. Be-
cause of the supposed power of the
old mans prayers he was dragged
from his home by one of these parties
and ordered to pray for the success
of the faction of mis- captors and the
discontinue of their enemies.
The captive. disregarding the orders
of his eaptors, lifted up his voice and
prayed: 20 God, sovereign of the uni
verse, since upon one side are thy
people and upon the other side thy
priests, 1 beseech Thee hear not the
prayer of either to the injury of the
other"
The prayer so angered the people
that the old man was beaten to death
with sticks and stones. II wonder"
said the speaker, "if you are able to
trace the lesson that this story sug-
gests to me-" Dr. Mendes then pic
tured as a parallel to this story, at
least in the lesson taught, the daily
and continued struggle of every per-
son for the qualification of his desires
and ambitions without any, or if any,
little thought that others, too, are
struggling for the same benefits and
have the same right to them.
This application of the lesson taught
by the story was elaborated at length
In ones daily life, the speaker said,
this prayer of the old mans should
help all on the path of right by teach
ing a wise ambition. to receive as
many successes as possible and yet
remain true to those principles of kind
ness to all which have been inculcated
