Gsorge Fred Williams Turned Down
by bay State Democrats.
BOSTON, Sept. 1S.-Acrimony was
not wanting for time in the Demo
ocratic state convention in fremont
temple, but in the end harmony was
restored, and the state ticket finally
named was enthusiastically greeted!
The ticket is as follows: For governor,
William A. CASTOR of Boston; licnten-
ant governor, John G. Crosby Of Pitts
ficlde secretary of state, Willmore B.
Stone of Springfield; treasurer, Thoni-
Rs G. Thacher Of Yarmouth; auditor, J.
L. Chalifoux of Lowell; attorney gen
eral, John J. Flaherty of Gloucester.
1t might be said that in naming Colo
mel Castor to head the ticket precedent
was shattered, inasmuch as he was
nominated and then given a platform
of his own dictation. Net unlike the
famous conventions Of 1896 and 1900,
the fight was over the national issues
in the platform. As man for man the
test Of strength was between Colonel
Castor on the one hand and Hon.
George r. Williams, once the stalwart
leader of the silver Democrats, on the
other. In this battle Mr.. Williams was
utterly routed, with the predicted re-
suit that he is shorn of all power of
leadership. The platform adopted Is Il
reputation of the Kansas City plat
form, for Mr. Castor refused to be the
nominee if in any way the declaration
of principles could be construed to in
dorse those things most prominently
advocated by the party in the last two
national CO mpaigns-

CHARGED WITH
BRUTALITY.
Blood spot on Husbands Shirt
Reused Mothers Suspicious
and Led TO ArTSSt

Philadelphia Sept. 1s.-Charget
by the police with attempting to xii
his baby stepdaughter by batteriue
her head against the floor, Jaeot
Hofius, 80 years old, Of 1884 Leith-
gov street. Ia under arrest in the
Front and Westmoreland streets
station awaiting hearing. Hotius
wife is also under arrest as wit
ness aud the police believe her evil
dence will prove sufficient to bind
him over to await rhe result Of the
child's injuries.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Hofius to the police, her husband was
playing with little Helen in tho
kitchen at about 9 o'clock yesterda y
morning. The child, just able to
walk. enjoyed the romp immens ely
and crowed her delight when her
father picked her up, and holding
her high above his head ran pstairs
to the family bedroom. Mrs HaEus
is slightly deaf and heard no un.
usual sounds from above, but when
Hotius came down stairs without
the baby she noticed great spot of
blood on his shirt.
She asked him how 1t cane there.
and he replied:
"oh. l just scratched my finger on
pin"
Without saying more he went
out, Mrs. RofiusI however, became
suspicious when the child did not
come down, and when she received
no answer upon calling, went up
stairs to investigate. She found the
baby lying face down in a pool Of
blood, which was slowly oozing from
her mouth. DR.. Appel, Of Fifth and
Cambria streets, was called in, but
he refused to have anything to do
with the case, as he said the child
was too near death. He advised
Mrs Hofius, instead, to take Helen
to st. Christopher's Hospital, and,
acting upon it, she ran all the way
to that institution with the uncon-
scious little one in her arms.
Dls bcN<.St, kuIGL lcoloGuI puyo
clan at the hospital, assumed i'm
mediate charge, but he cauld give
the mother little hope for her child's
life. Seen last night DR.. Decker
said that the baby girl had one
great bruise. extending more than
four inches over the top OF her he ad.
On the side OF her face Is another
confusion. and her tongue is almost
bitten III half. On her body and
arms and rows of smaller bruises,
all very close together, resembling
m arks lett by finger grips. The
PHYSICIANS also believed that the
child's skull is fractured, but OF
this point they were not sure last
night.
The childshas been unconsei Gus
ever since admission to the lnstitu-
tion, and but slight hopes are enter
tained for her recovery. Judging
from the nature and loc cation Of the
chlld's Injuries the doctors said
that it looked as though some one,
sitting in a chair and with the baby's
body clasped firmly in his hands,
had swung her head again and
again, like a club, against the
floor.

NEW HAMPSHIRE REPUBLICANS.
In State Convention They Favor
Changes In PrOhibitory Law.


Changes In PrOhibItory Law.
CONCORD, N. H.. Sept. 1S.-Follow-
ing the action Of the party in Vermont,
the Republicans of New Hampshire in
state convention warmly debated the
question of making changes in the pro.
Hibitory law. Those in favor Of a
change carried the day. The contest
for governor was won by Hon. Nahum
J. Batchelder Of Andover, who Is prom.
inently identified with the Patrons Of
Husbandry. General Shephen II. Gale
Of Exeter withdrew before the nomina.
tions were called for, and Mr.. Batchel-
der was chosen by acclamation. No
other candidates are nominated by
state conventions in New Hampshire.
The platform adopted indorses the
administration on all points and favors
the denomination of President RoOse-
welt. Illegal coNbines are condemned,
and one plank opposes the indiscrimi-
nate destruction of forests.
The plank on the liquor issue adopt
ed, which was opposed by the out and
out Prohibitionists, is as follows:
I'VE recognize the unsatisfactory
municipal conditions in many parts of
the state relating to the enforcement
of the prohibitory law. We believe that
the best interests of our citizens de-
mand essential changes in the law, but
the details of such changes should be
fully discussed and carefully consid-
cred by the representatives Of the peo-
pie to be elected next November, with
that end in view.
1--WE therefore recommend that at
= the next session Of the legislature in
January, 1903, all questions relating to
liquor legislation be re-exanined and
that such laws be enacted as will more
effectually promote temperance"

den, an insane veteran of the civil war,
shot and probably fatally wounded
two of the most prominent citizens of
the town and when the authorities
were about to capture him blew the
top of his head off with shotgun.
Hayden stopped Judge Coulter on the
street about o'clock in the afternoon
and asked if the judge had a grudge
against him. Coulter laughingly re-
piled No." whereupon Hayden drew
revolver and fired twice. One bullet en-
tered directly below the heart and an
other in the side. Coulter attempted to
disarm the man. and in the struggle
the revolver was discharged, and a
third bullet entered Coultel's hand. He
succeeded in ge9ing the revolver, how
ever, and Hayden fed.
First Selcctman Pratt witnessed part
of the affair and gave chase, but Hay
den gained on him rapidly and ran to
bis house, where he procured shot
gun and shot his pursuer just over the
heart as he attempted to enter the
yard Hayden then re-entered the house
and became involved in quarrel with
his sister Elizabe The latter became
frightened and ran into the street, call.
ing for assistance. A moment later the
report Of gun was heard in the rear
of the house, and when the crowd
which had collected ran into the back
yard they fourd Hayden on the ground
with the top of his head blown off. On
the ground beside him was the shot
gun with which he had wounded Pratt
and then ended his own life.
Pratt and Coulter were taken to the
Memorial hospital In New Lol>lon.
Hayden was dshonorably discharged
from the navy in 1861 and has tried
repeatedly to get q pension. He has al
ways been refused and blamed every
one who refused to take up his case.
This is the only reason that can be ad-
vanced for the shooting.

vatiQn through the atonement OF
Christ l Cor. l:30; 2:6; Eph. lis; Col.

Who, who must not confess that
be lacks wisdom 10 this high aud
lofty seise, aud who will not be
glad at the the thought that 1t is
possible to have the wisdom which
God gives for the asking (James
l:5).
The difference between wisdom
aud knowledge as used in the text
OF the morning is worthy OF atten-
ton. Wisdom is so ratioc in atlve;
knowledge intuitive. Wisdom as
used here means the knowledge of
God that is possible Of attainment
through the power of reasoning.
That which we may kno " by study
and thought. knowledge is the
KIN owledge that may be experienced
or intuited or felt. In Christ there
is this double treasure, treasures OF
wisdom and Of knowledge.
But these treasures are hid.
Not his IN the sense in which we
usually speak the word, but "cover-
ed up" in Christ, hid from un-
spiritual and unsc riptural men, but
not concealed hey oud human tind~
ing. Mystery in the present day
use Of the term means just the op-
posite to what it means 10 the Bible.
In modern phrase it means hidden
thing, something concealed, that
which 10 obscure. In the Word OF
God it always means that which
may be seeu a revelation rather
than mystery. Substitute in

elation for ''mystery' and this idea
will be at once apparent.
Treasures then are hid for us not
from us. They are stored up in
Christ and are the possession Of all
Christians wise enough in their day
to SEQ them and to appreciate them.
They are hid in Christ, and hav.
ing Christ we have all things for has
he not become unto us, wisdom and
righteousness and sanctiHcatiOn and
redemption. Read the testimony
Of those who were best able to ap-
preciato the riches in Christ and see
how they hint Of stored up treasure
for the Christian. Hear the testi-
mony of the Centurion, of Peter, of
the officers sent to arrest the Lord,
of the blind man, of the Gordene
demoniac, of John the Baptist, of
the Samaritan woman, and of Paul
and ce how their words agree as to
the character and divinity and
wealth that united in Christ, and
blended in one common stream of
blessing for the race.
Christ Jesus is my all in all,

My life below, and he shall be
My joy and crown above.
