tended to secure the license there. When they found they could not they took train and boat for Cleveland, O., where they failed again. Finally they went to Youngstown, famed as 8 Gretna Green, and there they expect to find the article desired.
 That true love will find way was demonstrated when Newton Perry and Miss Julia Farris appeared in the office of Louisville justice of the peace and asked him to unite them. They lievd on adjoining farms eight miles from the city. Perry is g years old and Miss Farris is IS. They told the justice they had not walked to the city for the TO- nance in the journey, but because they wanted to be married and because that was the only way they could reach the official.
 After the ceremony was performed they started on their long walk home, tired but happy. The justice asked them if their parents objected to the match, and they said they did not, explaining their walk by the statement that they had been unable to hire conveyance.
 An irate brother endeavored to rouse. two other dreamers. He was not suc- cessful, as they have been married and are expected to live happily ever after. Miss Melinda Etta Stout, of Higgins port, O., was the young woman, and Robert Kelly, of Cincinnati, was the other dreamer. The girl, barely 2l years old, went to Cincinnati last week to meet her fance. They were married by a justice of the peace. A brother of the young woman appeared at mid night, and, learning that license had been issued, visited magistrates and ministers. When he learned that his sister had been married by a justice there was trouble, but the girl was firm in her determination not to leave her husband The brother returned to dig- ginsport to report to his parents that he had arrived too late to awaken the dreamers.
 Two girls, have agreed not to marry during the lifetime of B. s. Simmons, a retired Hartford business man, 70 years old. They are Martha Evelyn Bardwell, a Hatfield schoolgirl, and her intimate friend, Miss Susan Loomis, of East Hampton. In COnS1QeraC1On OI Ln1S agreement Mir Simmons has adopted the young women, with the approval of the parents, and has made them his heirs. Miss Bardwell first met MT. Sim mons while visiting an aunt. The elderly man manifested fatherly in- terest in her the first day, and soon afterward confided to her his liking for the companionship of young people. Since the death of his wife, he said, he had been depressed by loneliness and had contemplated disposing of his home. MT. Simmons proposed later to adopt the young woman, and offered at the same time to adopt any other young woman she might select as her compan- ion. The result is the agreement en- tered into by the three.

CRIME AND LYNcHINo.

Negro President of Convention De- i plOres Disgrace to the Race. PHILADELPHIA. Sept 17.-Nearly 2,000 delegates were present at the opening session of the annual national negro Baptist convention, every state and territory in the country being rep resented The convention, which will continue for six days, is being held in the National Export exposition audito- rum. Much of the business of the con vention will be the discussion of mis- sionary and educational work.
 Rev. B. O. Morris of Helena, Ark, presided and in his annual address re- ferred at considerable length to prevail ing crime and lynching. In the course of his address he said:
 'Let us consider that most of the blood curdling outrages committed against the pure womanhood of the country are charged to members of our race; and, no matter if the persons against whom those charges are made do come from the lowest element of the race there is room to consider whether or not we have made sufficient effort to restrain that element that is bringing such disgrace to the race and shame upon the country. am sure there is no sympathy in the breast of any true man for the wretch who has fallen so low as to commit an outrage against any woman. It should be the verdict of all true men that every woman shall be safe in her person from the attack of any brute, white or black, no matter D. sy~y I~n NAz town or city or walking along a coun- try road. Every man everywhere should be made to know that to commit an as- sault upon the innocent womanhood of the country means that the strong arm of the law is to be exercised upon him without reserve. say law, for am unalterably opposed to mob violence and consider mobs more dangerous to good, potent government than any oth- CT form of lawlessness.
 "As the representatives of the largest church organization among our people we cannot ignare the responsibility which the Lord has put upon us to lift up our people to a standard of Chris tianity which when attained will make impossible the heinous crimes with which so many hitherto have been charged"
 Upon conclusion of Dr. Morris ad- dress the convention suspended the rules by unanimous vote and elected him president for the tenth year.
 Rev. T. C.. Jordan of Louisville, for eign mission secretary, delivered his an nual report, in which he discussed the work being done by the negro Baptists in foreign fields.

THE VAN WORM FRS.
UniQue Case I'm the Criminal History
 of New York State.

Unique Case In the Criminal History
 of New York State.
 ALBANY, N. Y., Sept. 17.-Thrice unique in the criminal history of this state was the hearing before Governor Odell on the application for commuta- ton of the death sentence in case of the three brothers Van Wormer, await ing execution for murdering, in his own doorway, their uncle, Peter A. Hallen- beck, at GTeendale. Columbia county, on Christmas eve, 1901.
 The unique features of the case are that three brothers, all under thirty and one barely twenty-one, stand together in the peril of the electric chair, that five jurors, representing eleven of the jury which convicted the Van Worm CTS, appeared in opposition to the ap- peal and that a Christian minister ar gued for the infiction of the death pen alty. Further, petition signed by 263 residents of the vicinity Of the crime urged that the governor show no elem ency.
 Former Judge J. Ryder Cady of Hud- son, who was originally detailed to de- fend the boys, argued for the appeal, pleading, among other things, the lack of childhood care due to their mothers early death.
 District Attorney Chase of Columbia county opposed tue application, as also did Rev. o. B. Corwin of Greendale. The latter cited many tales of the al- legged misdoings of the Van Wormers
 Governor Odell said he would render a decision by Monday.

attached to the balloons. The toys went flying away and the fair balloonists awaited results, which came when five gallants returned the letters for the pleasure of meeting the writers.
 The acquaintance thus begun is to end at the altar. As soon as the young men found the missives they searched for and found the writers. Now no one could wish that this dream be disturbed. When Cupid gets ten souls in his keep Sng at once he should be careful.
 It-isn't everybody that has as hard luck as two other young people. They have travelled more than 1000 miles in search for a marriage license, and every well-minded person will agree that a tenth of that distance should be suff1- cient. For more than a week Frank Felton and Miss Margaret Hafer, of Pittsburg, have been hunting for the documents which will enable them to marry. They left with party of friends going to Canada week ago. They in-
