Robert \. Elwood, pastor of the OliYet
Presbyterian church, preached sensa-
tioral sermon Sunday on the probable
lynching of White. He took his text
from Corinthians V, 13: Therefore
put away from among ourselves tnat
wicked person" After referring to a
speedy trial for the negro, guaranteed
by the constitution, Rev. Elwood said
that the middle of September next was
not a speedy trial (that was the time
fixed by the COURT Then he said: "Oh,
h honorable judges, call the court, eStab-
lish a precedent, and the girls of this
state, the wives of the homes and
the mothers of our fireside, and n"r
beloved sisters, will not be sorry. and
neither will you.''
Invitation to the Mob,
After declaring that if the judges
did not make a precedent, call an eX-
ira session of the court and railroad
the criminal to his doom they would
be responsible for a lynching the
preacher said: should the murderer
of Miss Bishop be Iynched? Yes, but
only under one condition, and that is
this-if his trial shall be delayed until
September, and then, though he be
proven guilty, through some technical
ity of the law or any undue influence
upon either judges or jury he be not
given capital lpunishment-then the cit
iZens of the state should arise in their
might and execute the criminal, and
thus uphold the majesty of the law"

Wanted to Share in the Graft.

Andrew S. Wallace was until a
few days ago postmaster at Opp,
Ala. While serving as Uncle
Sans agent in that capacity Mr..
Wallace read in the papers of the
bribery that was going on in the
postoffice department at Washing
ton and he forthwith proceeded to
write to Postmaster General Payne
and offered him the sum af $50 if
Mr.. Payne would have him appoint
ed postmaster at Andalusia, Ala.
This is a better Office than the one
held by Mr.. Wallace and he thought
by tempting the postmaster gener-
al with the offer of $50 he would
have no trouble in receiving the ap-
pointment. He has been removed
from the office at Opp and placed
under arrest. A bond of $500 for
his appearance at the next term of
the United States court at Birming-
ham was required.

mo sign Of civic improvement Is seen in
st. Louis from one end to the other" said
D. w. Hazlett OF the Civic Improvement
League last night. in a lecture at the

The city. he said with its fine geographic
cal position, could be made one of the most
beautiful in the world il the residents and
municipal government would only cooper
ate in the matter.
Mr.. Hazlett showed views of improve
ments In other cities throughout the coun-
try. dipicting how houses and streets were
made beautiful by trees and flowers.
Pictures Of spots in every part of st.
Louis were than thrown on the screen,
showing the difference when contrasted with
other cities. view of Delmar avenue
showing piles Of dirt ready to be carted
away was presented. Here the work
stopped, said the lecturer, and the piles of
dirt are left to be again scattered over the
street.
Among the improvements contemplated
for cleaner St. Louis is the placing 81
refuse boxes on all downtown. corners. The
one now at Broadway and Locust street, the
lecturer said. would pay for itself In one
year from the sale Of waste paper. After
that period the city would receive an in
come from the boxes.
Beautifying the river front was also sug-
gested, and views of the wafer fronts Of
other cities were shown. The club has
started practical work in the Third Ward.
and by next summer. he said, decided Inn
