this Morning. Cor
oner Gone to
the Scene.

the Scene.
The news of a distressing homicide
at Faro, near the northeastern limit
of this county, reached the city at
noon Saturday by telephone, and the
coroner and sheriff soon left for the
scene, which is on the plantation of
Mr.. Ed. c.. EXum.
A white man named James Prit-
chett,a tenant on the plantation, took
his t~en-year-old daughter over to a
neighbours house, on the same plan
tation, this morning, and left her
there, and as soon as he was gone
the child broke out crying and said
she was afraid papa had killed
mamma. The news was quickly
communicated about the farm and
some of the hands went at once to
the Pr1tchett home, where from the
open door they could see the dead
body of Mrs. Pritchett lying on the
bed.
Search was at once made for Pritch-
EFT, andhe was taken in charge by the
plantation hands, while a telephone
message was sent to Mr.. Exum, who
had gone to Fremont. AS soon as
Nj. Exum received the news he
phoned from Fremont to this city
summoning the sheriff and coroner
Pritchett was found hiding in 9
canal on the farm, and had a bottle
of whiskcy with him. He had blood
on his hands, and the indicationsa are
that he shot his wife, probably il

ROOSEVELT AND RIIS.
Rev. DR.. odell Made Them the Cen
trail Figures Of His Discourse
Last Night.

"Men Worth Studying - Theodore
Roosevelt and Jacob Riis," was the
topic discussed last night by Rev. ]. II.
Odell, ID. D., pastor of the Second Pres
byterian church. His text was "Final-
ly, brethren, whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever are just. whatsoever are
lovely, whatsoever things are of good
report, If there be any virtue and IL
there be any praise, think on these
things" DIR, Odell breaches healthy.
wholesome religion, in diction strong
and forcible, yet polished. Epigram-
matte in style, he makes no effort at
fine climaXes or dramatic situations,
but he is intensely in earnest, and peo-
pie like that in this age of Indifference
and haste.
The speaker said that he need make
no apology for taking Theodore Roose-
welt and Jacob Iiiis as his subject. They
are types which should be much more
common in the land. There would be
no political intention in what he should
say. Riis calls himself free willing
Democrat" Roosevelt is a Republican.
There are indictments enough to be
drawn against either party and there
are commentators to be lavlshed on
both. The Republican party in Phlla-
delphia is as bad as the Democratic
party in New York, and you cannot
say anything worse than that.
There are three relations which a
man should sustain in this country:
First, as a Christian; second, as an
American citizen; third, as member
OF his party. These relations are to be
determined by two guides: His rela-
tions to God and, second. to his coun-
try. The speaker then said:

Zachaeus was little, he said, but lit
tie only In body. He then told of the
little men who are in the word--men
little intellectually. little morally and
little spiritually. The bulk of matter Is
not always the measure of the mind.

Mr.. Fuller became interested in the coal busi-
ness about twenty years ago. Successfully lie
controlled the Fuller, the Amity. the Old Forge,
the Newton, Girard, Seneca and Mount Pleasant
companies.
Two years ago he formulated the plan which
entirely changed the coal situation in the an
thracite fields. The mines were largely controlled
by individual operators who were oppressed by
the heavy transportation rates. Mr.. Fuller was
selected by the Individual Coal Operators asso.
citation to devise some means toward relieving
them. He saw that the operators must build a
road for themselves. Bitterly fighting every :tep
of the way, the Delaware Valley and Kingston
Railway was organized and pushed to such de-
termined climax that the great coal.carryins
companies offered such rates for property in the
vicinity Of Scranton as to enable the operators
to receive good prices for their mines, and these
latter passed into the control OF the power rep
resented by J. Pierpont Morgan.
In 1899 Mr.. Fuller saw the possibilities OF the
salt industry and soon became the head Of the
Rctsof Mining company. The developments were
enormous in short time, ami last year he organ.

Concerning the road he has acquired
Mr.. Fuller said:
I'VE have put our money in the
Western Maryland railroad and want to
make it earn something for us as soon
as possible. We will connect it with
the West Virginia Central and eNten-
lions to Cumberland, to Pittsburg and
to GAINESVILLE, Ohio. and combine them
under one company, with the general
offices in Baltimore. The charter of the

INSIDE THE GROCERY.
Some Facts Made Known.

1t is often thought that grocers really
have very little care regarding the
food value OF the articles they sell,
but the real facts are that keepers
of the right sort are extremely par
ticular as to what they recommend.
One of the fraternity relates tale.
"The highest priced coffee on the
market I introduced to my customers
and used myself. l began to have bill
Gus attacks and after little observa-
ton attributed them directly to cof-
fee. Every time l left off drinking 1t
I got better, but felt the need of Il
warm drink for breakfast.
Along in 90 wholesale grocer urged
me to put in some Postum Food Coffee
in my store, which did with consider
able miseiving, for, at that time, the
now famous Postum was not SO well
known.
He urged me to try it myself, which I
did and was disgusted with the fiat,
tasteless beverage, so was my wife.
remembered the wholesale grocer said
something about following directions
carefully, so ! took the package and
studied it. l at once discovered that
we had not boiled 1t long enough, only
three of four minutes, but 1t must be
boiled 10 minutes at least, so we tried
1t again, with the result that we got
a perfect cup OF coffee, delightful
and healthful beverage. ! have con-
tinued the use. of Postum in my home
ever since. We use it for breakfast,
dinner and supper.
My bilious attacks quickly left and l
am free from them altogether. be-
gan to explain to my customers

fee and now have very large trade on
it, Name given by Postum Co.. Bat

scold, two things follow--his duty Is
done or overdone, but when goodness
and purity and honesty become con-
crete, 1t is good to think and mediate
on these. Whenever ideals become con-
crete in personality-ideals are so fugi-
tive and intangible-it is we'll to watch
and question and try to understand
them"
a brief sketch OF Jacob Riis was
given: graphic picture of the immi-
grant boy. the tramp, poor friendless
and forelorn; often fainting with hum
ger, yet willing to do anything to make
an honest dollar and never discouraged
because of the memory of the one sweet
girl of his love in the far away home.
The speaker compared him with the
Jacob in the Old Testament, who, too,
served long and faithfully for his love.
but the modern Jacob, he said "never
resorted to dishonorable means. never
told an untruth nor took advantage Of
any person. When he became an
American citizen, he became an Ameri-
cana truly startling thing to do in
this day of hyphenated Americans,
Of German Americans, Irish Americans,
etc.
"RiiS was newspaper reporter, and
he says that when he had particular
ly hard case on at police court he
always prayed about it. Then he went
to writing what he saw in the tene-
ment life, which he knew SO we'll, and
no more enhancing tale has been writ
ten than the report of the tenement
commission. Because of the work for
these districts which Jacob Riis did.
Roosevelt called him the most useful
citizen in the United States We need
men who will study thus at first hand
and tell the results to the world. who
will dedicate themselves. as Lincoln
said in his speech at Gettysburg, to
| setting things right I am in favor Of
having people learn that speech. 1t
would be a good idea if it were made a
requisite for citizenship.
"Roosevelt's father was good man.
If people could choose their own fathers
the Rockfellers and Vanderbilts would
find themselves very popular while
many a good, pure, honest and worthy
man in the country would be passed
by. Roosevelt started out with a
physical weakness to overcome and
he won in that struggle. 1t is usually
the first overcoming that is the secret
of success. The habit of giving up is
often formed by losing the first battle"
DR.. Odell closed with unique
thought. He said that the difference
between a rich man and the labor
ing men is that the rich man is paid be-
fore he does his work and the poor man
afterward. Therefore much more is
expected OF the rich man than of the
other for the latter may choose not to
work if he likes, He has not been
paid. but the rich man is on his honor
If he refuses to work for his country
he is thief for it has protected him
and his property for generations. The
rich loafer is worse than the bar-room
loafer.

ed with blessing. the blessing OF sal
walton. salvation Is Christ and Christ
Is life." said he. The greatest blessing
was secured by Zacchaeus where 1t was
most needed-in the home. zacchaeus
helped the poor az Christianity always
has. Atheism. said the preacher, never
helped the poor and never will.
From the life of Iacchaeus can be
drawn the true lesson Of service and OF
real phllanthrophy, the speaker said.
His service was right because 1t was
immediate and his philanthropy was
real because he gave of his goods while
he was alive and did not wait until he
had passed away and had no further
use for them.
Both Rev. Mr.. Jones and Rev. Mr.
Morris will speak at another service to
be conducted in this church tonight at
1880 o'clock.

the greatest Of recent achievements III

city attended both the morning and
night services. Rev. Mr.. Morris spoke
in English in the morning and in
Welsh at night while Rev. Mr.. Jones
spoke in Welsh in the morning and in
English at night. Both are men poss-
essins in more than ordinary degree
those inherent qualities which mark the
great preacher. Rev. Mr.. Jones is less
dramatic than Rev. Mr. Morris who
throws wonderful fervor and enthus-
iasm into his preaching.
REV. JONES' SERMON.
Rev. Mr.. Jones in his English sermon
at the night service chose for his text
the first ten verses of the nineteenth
chapter Of the gospel according to st.
Luke, in which he told the story Of the
reception of Jesus at the house of Zac-
chaeus the publican. The sermon may
be said to have been based on the
eighth and ninth verses which read as
follows:
And Zacchacus stood. and said unto the Lord:
Behold, Lord, the half OF my goods l give to
the poor; and il have taken anything from
any man by false accusation l restore him four.

And Jesus said unto him: This day is saliva.
ton come to this house, for so much as he also
is Il son Of Abraham.
Rev. Mr.. Jones drew from the life Of
Zacchaeus the lesson that the greatest
purpose in life should be not the amass-
ing of gold or the enjoyment of
pleasure, but rather "the seeking of
