Seventh Day Adventists on race lines
is utterly without foundation and we
are permitted by Mr.. Sheafe and
greatly pleased TO publish herewith a
set of resolutions adopted by the
Washington Church of that faith and
embOdying their sentiments on this
question. 1t will be observed they
bear a date antecedent by at least
two months to the publications above
alluded to. We ask for their careful

brilliant advocate of any cause create
more than a passing ripple on the sur

not seem to be the fate of our learned

s+rations there is still a most CRATE
full essence in their hearts and their
love has never yet faltered for this
man of God and his most estimable
helpmeet The next scene of Mr..
Sheafe's activity was the city of
Youngstown, Ohio. Here he found
most unattractive and unpretensious
house of worship, situated on a little
back street with a membership of
about fifty-tive, and in less than nine
months with his usual genius for or
ganiZatiOn and for creating enthusi-
asm. he succeeded in building and
dedicating a cOmmodiOuS structure
with a seating capacity of 500. on
Mahoney Ave, one of the principal
streets of the city and which has given
its name to the church. He served in
Youngstown for two years, during
which the membership of this church
was increased from fifty-five to nearly
three hundred, and the entire debt for
the new structure and its handsome ap-
pOintments was nQuidated except
about fifteen hundred dollars. Here
Mr.. Sheafe also took active interest in
the work of the Christian Endeavor
and was thus brought into personal
contract with many influential church
men of all denominations
Leaving Youngstown after two years
in harmony with a now well digeSted
intention never to remain with one
charge long enough to inspire in its
membership the faIntest wish for his
departure, he then came to Urbana. o.,
where his untiring work and cOnSci-
entious endeavOrs met with the same
phenomenal success as at his previous
charges. In this city there occurred
the greatest and most eventful change
in his spiritual life After deep
thought and a careful weighing of
every consideration, he formally gave
up his connection with the Baptist
faith and refusing many flattering of
fers to remain with the Urbana church
and to fill other pulpits. he publicly
and fearlessly announced his change of
view and his belief in the tenets of the
Seventh Day AdventistS to his congre-
CATION and to the people at large.
When his change of belief was brought
to the attention of the leaders of the
Seventh Day Adventists in Urbana
(an white people of course), they at
once solicited his powerful and elo-
quent aid in the propagation of their
faith in that city.
His work as in all previous endeav-
ors evoked the keenest interest and
was promptly successful and he has
continued therein from that time
(1S96) TO the present. contributing

Verdict in Courtmartial Disapproved

San Francisco, Aug. 13.-Corporal
Thornton, who kept accounts for Sec
ond Lieutenant John S. Davis, quarter
master of Mckinley camp, Hawaiian
islands, was recently courtmartialed
and tried on the charge of classifying
reports. The court which heard the
case decided that Thornton was not
guilty of crime. But it adjudged him
guilty of conduct unbecoming his posi-
ton and prejudicial to discipline He
was ordered to de discharged from the
army; to forfeit all pay or fees due
him and to be confined at hard labor
for two years.
The counsel for the defense declared
that the testimony in the case showed
a condition of affairs that permitted of
lax and careless if not dishonest
methods.
Major General Hughes, to whom the
courtmartial's final report and recon-
mendation were forwarded for approx
al, has reversed their decision. He de-
clarss that a condition Of affairs which
permits such criticism as the counsel
for the defense made, to pass unchal-
lenged, deserves grave reproof. He
also orders Thornton's sentence re-
voked and the corporal to be re-enlist-
ed in the service

JUSTICE GRAY RESIGNS.

the Supreme Bench.

the Supreme Bench.
Washington, Aug. 13.-Associate
Justice Horace Gray has resigned his
seat on the bench of the United States
supreme court and President Roose-
welt has announced the nomination of
Judge. Oliver Wendell Holmes of Mas
sachusetts to the place made vacant
by Justice Gray'sNresignation.
When Judge Holmes takes his seat
next fall he will be known as the funny
man of the court. The fun that gilt
tiers in DR.. Holmes "Autocrat of the
Breakfast Table" is descended to the
son of DR.. Holmes and shines in his
profound legal decisions even as the
fun of the illustrious DR.. Holmes shone
through his lectures on physiology and
medicine at Harvard university long
before he became famous as an author.
AS justice of-the supreme court of
Massachusetts, Judge Holmes has
handed down some decisions that were
screamingly funny, and that shocked
beyond measure the staid dignity of
the bar of Massachusetts,, but the
soundness of his law, his logic, and
his philosophy has never been at
tackled, and upon appeal to the SUI
preme court of the United States he
has never been reversed.

AFTER LLLv..l
EXTRA SESSION OF THE SENAT :
TO BE CALLED EARLY IN
NOVEMBER.
CUBAN TREATY COMPLETED

President Believes Reciprocity Con.
vention Stands More Chance Of Rat.
ification After the Congressional
Contests Are Settled and Expects to
Have the Question Finally Disposed
Of Before the Regular Session.
Washington, Aug. 13.-Advices re-
ceived here indicate that President
Roosevelt will call the senate IN ex'
traordinary session early in Novem'
Der.
Ever since It became evident that
nothing would be accomplished as to
reciprocity with Cuba at the recent
session Of congress rumors of more
or less definite nature have been in cir
culation tAat the president would call
an extra session, either of the entire
congress to enact Cuban reciprocity
legislation, or of the senate to ratlfy
if possible a reciprocal treaty with
Cuba.
During the past week it has been
stated that it was the purpose of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to call special ses-
sion of the senate early in September.
1t can be stated by authority that he
has no such intention. His time and
that of many members Of both political
parties will be occupied during Sep
TENDER and October. It Is under
stood to be the belief of the president
that a session of the senate held for
the purpose of ratifying a reciprocity
treaty with Cuba would be much more
likely to be fruitful Of results if helo
after the November elections than If
held before. It is assured that the
question of the relations OF the United
States with Cuba will enter largely
into the approaching campaign and 1t
is stated that the president feels the
Democrats will be less likely to offer
serious oppositionf to reciprocity
treaty after the election than they
would before that time.
"A treaty with Cuba practically has
been prepared. It requires only the
finishing touches. and the signatures
of Minister Quesada and Secretary of
State Hay to make it ready for pres
entation to the senate.
No definite date, it is understood,
has been fixed upon for the meeting in
but that it will be soon
after the election is reasonably GER
tain. The president, it is said, hopes
to have the reciprocity question
cleared away entirely before the reg-s
ular session of congress.

KILLING OF SCHOOL TEACHERS.
Cebu ConstabuIary investigates the
Affair.

Manila, Aug. 13.-An investigation
made by the constabulary to clear up
the facts in the killing of Cebu coach
ing party of four school teachers,
shows that the party was ambushed
twelve miles from Cebu. Two teach
ers were shot and killed at the first
volley; third, who ran, was shot in
the back, and fourth, who was cap
tured, was shot in the chest while he
was praying for mercy. It is suspect
ed that the fourth man was buried
alive, as his wound was slight and
probably would not have caused death.
Dogs dug up two of the bodies and de-
voured the flesh. 1t is believed that
sufficient evidence has been secured to
convict all the participants in the
crime.
