Clarke County Convict Went Among His Fellows Many Years Un- til Indictment Found in 1879
 Resulted in Conviction.

A recommendation to Governor Jelks yesterday by the State Board of Pardons that a parole be granted to George s. Johnson, a white convict of Clarke Coun- ty, disclosed story of peculiar human interest and revealed a chain of extraor- dinary circumstances.
 Until the fall term last year. of the Cir cult Court of Clarke County. George s. Johnson was a prosperous and well-to-do citizen of Monroe County. At this term of the court Johnson was arraigned on a charge of murder committed twenty-two years before and upon plea of guilty tc manslaughter in the first degree The vas sentenced to two years at hard la bor for the county. e@
 The indictment charging Johnson with the murder of John Hunter Smith in Clarke County had ben returned by a grand Jury in 1872 Throughout these years George Johnson had gone in and out among the people of Clarke and Mon- roe Counties. He had removed his family from Clsske County across the line into Monroe County where he was universally respected Remorse for having taken the life of his neighbor no doubt gnawed at his heart. but he went quietly along his way with no thought of being called to don the garb of convict.
 u sage reached George Johnson. He was wanted by the Sheriff of Clarke County to answer an indictment which charged him with killing John Hunter Smith twen- ty-two years ago. Johnson did not com plain. He went with the officer to the lit- tle jail at Grove Hill the county seat of Clarke County. There he saw the Solici- tor of the county and there he told the prosecuting officer of the State that it was fact that he had killed John Hunter Smith in tho years of his young manhood. He was indiscreet. young and jmpulsive He had not tried to escape but had lived among the people who knew of the con- troversy. He told the Solicitor he was willing to pay the penalty of his crime and begged in the name of his devoted wife and the six children who had been born to him that he receive the lightest possible punishment.
 By the consent of the Solicitor George Johnson stood up in the court room, sur rounded by his friends and neighbors,

APPEAL FOR

Continued from Page One.

NOOnLluuGQ GdKG tual event their fears proved baseless as regards Hawaii and their apprehensions as to the damage to any industry of our own because of the proposed measure of reciprocity with Cuba seem to me equally baseess.
 Tn my judgment. no American industry will be hurt and many American indus tries will be benefited by the proposed ac- tion It is to our advantage as nation that the growing Cuban market should be controlled by our own producers.
 The events following the war with Spain and the prospective building of the isthmian canal, render 1t certain that we must take in the future far greater in- terest than hitherto in what happens throughout the West Indies, Central America and the adjacent coasts and wa ters. We expect Cuba to treat us on an exceptional footing politically, and We should put her in the same exceptional position economically. The proposed ac- ton is in line with the course we have pursued as regards all the islands with which we have been brought into relations of varying intimacy by the Spanish war. Porto Rico and Hawaii have been includ- cd within our tariff lines. to their great benefit as we'll as ours, and without any of the feared detriment to our own indus tries.

Upon the very soil where Christ taught the fgnor- ant, and healed the sick. and cured the blind. preached the Gospel of brotherly love and charity and compassion; in the very towns where he went about doing good wiping the tears from the eyes of sorrowful women and blessing little chif- dren that were brought to His knee. the treacherous and brutal Crusaders that carried His cross and proclaimed His name never allowed the sword to leave their hands but slaughtered their pris- oners and swept down the unoffending population with murder, fire, rapine and robbery.
 Seen across the shadow of their great failure, the Crusaders are admirable only as the heroes of chivalry and romance. and for the infinite vourage and endurancs that they displayed.

OLD-TIME MONDAY MEAL.
What Was Served and How It wn.
Prepared i'm the Days of
of Long Ago.

At least three days in the week a
boiled dinner" greeted the men when
they came in for the noondav meal.
Let us SEA exactly how it was prepared.
IF it was to be boiled dinner grand
mother and one of the girls would set
about 1T as soon as breakfast was out
of the way. First they made sure that
The fire was good and steady. Then
the great dinner pot was hung on the
crane and filled half full of cold wa

Republican. Into this was pumped
big piece of corned beef and another
OF fat pork. At nine o'clock grand
mother would liftlthe cover and if the
kettle was boiling would place the
pudding pot beside the beef and pork.
At the same time Polly would bring
he beets and go back to the work of
scraping, peeling and washing the
other vegetables. At half-past ten
the cabbage went in. at II the carrots
and turnips, at half-past IL parsnips
and potatoes. Then quarters of SQUASH
were laid on the top and the dinner
was under way. The great square ia
bic was next pulled out, covered with
plain homespun cloth, and the pew
ter plates and mugs, the steel knives
and two-tined forks laid for ten peo-
pie.
At the corners were placed huge
plates of rye and ingen' bread, pats
OF butter, also picked cucumbers, cab
oage or mangols and pitchers filed
with cider and beer" In Deerfield the
conch shell and the dinner horn were
unnecessary, for as the sun reached
high noon the old sexton rang a een-
sral invitation to stop work and 90
home to dinner. At this signal the
general pewter platter would be placed
IN the center of the table. The beef

LATE DISCOVERIES IN EGYPT.
Beautiful Work In Precious Metals
Wrought Six Thousand Five
Hundred Years Ago.

We are now able, writes Prof. Film
ders Petrie in the London Times, to
trace out the regular development of
the civilization during some 400 years
from the time when writing was but
rarely used, and then only in a rude
and pictorial stage, down to the COM
mon use of delicately figured hero
glyphs. indistinguishable from those
used for thousands of years after.
We have now in our hands the beau
tifully wrought jewelry and golasRork,
the minutely engraved worries, the
toilet objects of Menes, the founder
of the monarchy, and his successor,
fashioned more than $500 years ago.
Of Menes and his predecessors there
ire about 80 inscriptions and labels in
stone and ivory. From these we learn
certainly the names of three kings
Mariner, Ka and a name written with
fish sign. Perhaps also bet and Sam
are two other names, but they are
more probably sign words.
Among these works of Menes are
parts of four ebony tablets, with fig
ures and inscriptions, one apparently
showing human sacrifice. The stran-
gest object is a massive strip of gold of
unknown use, with the name of Menes
(Aha) upon it.
OF Ter, the successor of Menes, the
astonishing find is the forearm of his
queen, still in its wrappings, with four
splendid bracelets intact. One is a Sc
rles of figures of the royal hawk
perched on the tomb, 10 figures in cast
and chased gold alternating with IA
carved in turquoise.
The second bracelet is of spiral
beads of gold and lazuli in three
groups The third bracelet Is of four
groups of hour-glass beads, amethyst
between gold, with connections of gold
and turquoise. The fourth has CEN
terpiece of gold copied from the ro-
settle seed of plant, with amethyst
turquoise beads and bands of braided
gold wire.
This brilliant and exquisitely fin
ished group of jewelry shows what
high level was already attained at the
beginning of the first dynasty. 1t is
1000 years older than the jewelry of
Dashur, the oldest yet known, and it
has the great advantage of being care
fully examined as found and restrung
in its exact arrangement.
The arm of the queen had been
broken off by the first plunderers and
laid in hole in the wall of the tomb.
There it had remained neglected by
the four parties in ancient and modern
times who had successfully cleared out
the tomb.

capital of the nation, whose prestige
should be such as to authorize it to cal

The present first association was or.

John b. Wolff as president, myself as

1889, Mr.. VOLTS spirit departed from
his visible body, and 1 became presi-

1898. Brother Wolff and often ia liked
about the need of a national organiza-

work.

.st9PIRITUALISM is recognized
~ religion, incorporated accord
- ing to law" says Capt. Milan C..
Edison, one of the orga nizer&o of the Ma
tional association. s
The acts of congress covering re-
igious societies have been observed
and our incorporation, in 1898, sets
forth that The object of said associa-
ton is not for worldly profit, but for
the purpose of religion, to promote re-
hgion and morality, to provide for the
erection of temples and lecture halls,
or other suitable places of worship
where the religion of spiritualism may
be taught, and p provide for the edu-
cation and licensing of proper persons
as authorized lecturers and preachers
of the religion of spiritualism.'
at is not generally understood
throughout the land that we are a
recognized legal body of religious wor-
shippers. But, ever since the incorpora-
ton of the National association, our
status has been the same as that of
other churches, and our preachers re-
ceive all the railroad and other cour-
tesies extended to the older esta blishe ed
churches
There are two church organizations
in this city, and there are from 5000 to
5000 believers in the creed of spiritual
ism. Like very many of their predeces-
sors in the field of religion there has
been split or schism; one class believ-
ing that Jesus was divine, and the other
class believing that He was wonderful
medium for the dissemina ton of truth
Both bodies of believers recognize the
National association, and will continue
to doso. 1t is claimed that in this coun-
try there are now more members of the
Spiritualist ereed.than of the Unitarian
or Universalist; consequently in num-
bers they are entitled to consideration
as considerable body of citizens.
Capt. Edison says: "When came to
Washington, in 1871, found that large
and successful spiritual meetings had
been conducted here from about 1861.
During the civil war large meetings
were held in Union League hall, Ninth
and E streets. George A. Bacon con-
Quoted the meetings. He is now clerk
In the civil service commission. Later
equally large meetings were held
in Harmonial hail. on tho south
side of Pennsylvania avenue, near
Sixth street. Upward of 1900 peo-
pie used to attend those meetings,
which were conducted by DR.. John
Mayhem and Col. J. C. Smith. In 1879
that hall was torn down and the society
moved to Lyceum hall, Thirteenth and
E streets. From 1875 to 1855 there was
no society here and the meetings were
kept up by myself as an individual. 1
took the responsibility of hiring speak
ers, halls, and making collections for
the maintenance of the meetings. Dur
ing all this period felt the necessity
