confessed to participation in the muir
der Of the late Governor Goebel, OF

bank, which subsequently fails, lose
more or less of their money-seldom all

who have no faith in banks but hide
only oil
Their wealth, but their lives as we'll.

had learned in some way that the per-
sons had money in their homes, and
who knew that they were defenceless,

cash. 1t is better to trust the banks"

Says an Atlanta dispatch of Mon

very demonstrative audience, as has
been proven on many occasions, but
many think the climax was reached
last night when the noted divine prais-
ed Judge John S. Gambler, judge of the
Stone Mountain circuit, and wound up
by saying with great earnestness and
emphasis: "Hurrah for Judge Cand-
ler." The audience spontaneously ap-
plauded. The doctor was in the midst
of one of his characteristic sermons,
and in telling of the wonderful work
of the great preacher. Talmage, espe-
cially in his work in ferreting out and
depicting the vice in New York CITY,
DIR. Broughton referred to Judge Cand-
ler's work in corralling two gamblers
who, he said, had been prominent in
the politics of this city. One of these
had referred to DR.. Broughton as the
long-haired preacher. That man, said
DR.. Broughton, is a fugitive from JUS
tice because of gambling. 1t was then
he said "Hurrah for Judge Candler,"
and the climax followed.
