NOT BRIBES, HE SAYS.
Former LIeut.-Gov. Lee of Missouri Ecx-
 pIains Gifts to Him.

St Louis. June 2S.-Former Lieuten-
 ant Governor John A. Lee makes the following statement: %"Injustice has
 been done me by the publication of the reports about my having received $1,OO0 from Havemeyer, of the Sugar Trust, and $750 from the American Tobacco company. It is also falsely stated that John H. Carroll offered me $25,000 to
 keep out of the country until after Folk had left the circuit attorneys office. l am trying to make an honest living and while these stories cannot make matters much worse it is neither right nor fair that they should be published.
 |. Tt has been stated that received a thousand dollars from the Sugar Trust
 in the middle of the last session. Look
 at this.
 MT. Lee then produced a statement from his banker showing that August 19, 1902. he had deoosted check re- ceived from the American Sugar Refin- ing company at New York. He also showed a small pamphlet made up of letters from grocers throughout the country relative to the proposition in congress to remove the tariff from raw sugar.
 Not only were the communications
 printed in both of my papers but l
 spent $24O in sending 12.000 cooies of them to the newspapers of the country. had no understanding with MT. Have meyer about the amount, which I was to receive, but he voluntarily sent me
 check for $1,000 on the date you see in this statement It was for services rendered and had absolutely nothing to
 do with any legislation, as has been as-
 serted.
 T was nominated for lieutenant
 governor June 5, 1900. I received a check for $750 from Attorney Fulton of
 Chicago, representing the American To-
 bacco company. This money was for
 campaign expenses and took it simply
 as an act of friendship from the dozen or so former St. Louis tobacco men who
 are now at work in New York. Another tobacco man gave MT. Wyckard, one of
 my managers, check for $250 for the same purpose. It was simply an act of friendship on their part and nothing
 more."

sPANIsH TRAIN-WRE FOX HORROR
Fourteen Bodies and Fifty Injured Persons Extricased.

Madrid, June 2S.-Fourteen bodies and fifty injured persons have been extri- cated from the wreck of the Bilbao train which overturned at Nejerilla riv- CT last night.
 s, According to official information, thir- ty persons were killed and sixty others seriously injured. Many of the latter will die. Of the three hundred passen- gers on the train 1t is stated that only six escaped unhurt. The train, which was composed of two engines and six teen coaches, was crossing the bridge, when the couplings between the engines broke. The second engine left the track and fell, followed by the entire train, into the bed of the river. Fortunately the water was low. The nearest medi- cal attendance was a mile and half distant, and those passengers who were least injured aided the others and did all possible until the arrival of relief trains bringing nurses, doctors and sol- diers from Bilbao.
 The train fell thirty feet from the bridge to the river bed, the coaches piling up in a mass of splintered wood and iron work. The scene is described as horrifying. Many corpses were car ried down the stream. which was ac- tually reddened with blood. It was found impossible to extricate, numbers of the injured who were pinned under the wreckage. A railway guard was arrested in the act of robbing the dead, and narrowly escaped lynching
 It is believed that the official figures underestimate the number of the killed, some accounts giving the number of dead as one hundred. The full extent of the catastrophe will only be known when the wreckage has been cleared away.

Shoots syveetheart's Sister and Doctor
 Whom They U ere Visiting.

Lowell, Mass, June 2S.-Joseph La- mont, aged thirty-two years, a clerk in the office of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, at Boston, to- night shot and dangerously wounded Georgiana Goddhu, aged twenty-two, of Winchester, and Dr. Adelarde Payette, aged thirty-five years, of this city, and is still at large.
 The shooting was the outcome of La monts infatuation with Miss Alexina Goddhu. aged nineteen. sister of the young woman whom he shot, and 1t oc- cured in front of the residence Of Dr. Payette, whom the Goddu sisters were visiting. 5
 Lamont held Georgiana Goddhu in conversation for over an hour and when Dr. Payette came out Of the house to prevail upon Lamont to go away the latter fired two shots. one of which lodged in Miss Goddhu's left breast while the other struck Dr. Payette in the groin.
 The victims were removed to St. Johns hospital and at a late hour it was stated that Miss Goddhu was in a critical condition and cannot live, while Dr. Fayette had recovered conscious ness and will recover.
 Miss Alexina Goddhu heard the shots while preparing to leave Dr. Payette's house and rushing out into the street she followed Lamont until she became exhausted.
 The Goddhu sisters are daughters of Mrs. J. B. Goddhu of Winchester and Lamont lived in East Cambridge.
 Miss Alexina Goddhu in statement to the police says she became acquaint- ed with Lamont about a. year ago. Three months ago they became estranged and after several stormy scenes at the Goddhu house Lamont wrote letters to her threatening her and her mother.

Jude on ''Lynching from Another Point of View
 Dr. Bartlett said among other things: T have seen so many sermons. editOri- als and resolutions denouncing lynch ing and mob law that one gets the im- pression that their sons who hang or burn the destroyer of life, home and all that is held sacred by womanhood are the race offenders rather than the mon- ster whom they destroy
 We seem to be so absorbed with the majesty of the vague term law that the notion appears to prevail that the real criminals are those who do not wait for legal processes, and the viola tor of womanhood is the abused party. We shudder at the torture of the criminal who is burned, but apparently forget to shudder for the innocent girl, whose mental and spiritual agony is ten-fold greater than that of the fire. This is not a race problem, except so far as one race are the offenders. The white man who commits the same crime is just as guilty.
 "The indignant uprising of the com munity and some of the best men in it to avenge wrong of such awful mag nitude may be technically lawless, but the spirit which causes the uprising is the reflection of a higher civilization.
 There are crimes so dreadful that the pure and the chivalrous and the strong find it well-nigh impossible to endure the thought that such a degen- crate should pollute the earth by his presence. It is easy to theoriZe about the anarchy of mob law, but the same hand which penned the calm editorial might be the first to grasp the torch if it was mother, wife or daughter who was the victim.
 T say that when you look at lynch ing from another viewpoint it is simply the bursting forth of an indignation and bathing that will not be checked. In the Old Testament days they made short work of such an offender. Lynch ing is cert ainly bad method and forms the habit of disorder and makes men bloodthirsty. But if 1t is to be avoided there is certainly called for more sure
 and speedy trial of these wretches, who often brazenly deny crime amid red tape of legal processes, but confess ab- jectly when confronted with determined men.
 'It is useless to bring to trial good men who rise up to protect their fire sides. The community will not bear it. If men object to being burned let them cease from crimes which make a nation sick'

CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS.
5000 Meet ut Annual Communion
 Services tn Boston.

Boston, June 2S.-The annual com- munion service of the Mother Church of the Christian Science Denomination, the First Church of Christ (ScientisD,
 was held in Mechanics hall to-day, the three congregations aggregating over 15, GOO persons. Each service was inl- pressive, especially in the silent com munion, when the entire congregation knelt. At each service the readers of the First church, the directors and oth- CT members of prominence had seats on the platform. Professor Herman s. Herring, formerly of Johns Hopkins uni versity, and who is a son of Dr. Con- stantine Herring, one of the founders of
 homeopathy in this country, officiated
 as first reader, and Mrs. Ella E. Will Hams was second reader. There was no departure from the order of service fol- lowed at previous annual communions lof the Mother Church, and 1t closely fol- lowed the service in the individual churches of the denomination.
 The sermon was a compilation of Bible readings, with correlative selec-
 tions from the Christian Science text IA. to an end Professor Herring read a letter
 from Mrs. Eddy in which she expressed
 her love for her church and invited
 communicants to visit her tomorrow at
 her home in Concord, N. H.
 Many thousands of the Scientists will
 make the pilgrimage, and already nu-
 merous special trains have been char
 tered. It is estimated that about 1S000
 members of the denomination have
 come here to attend the services, and
 the Mechanics building, which covers
 several acres, is entirely devoted in a
 business way to the accommodation of
 the visitors. Admission to the Mother
 Church, which is situated only short
 distance from Mechanics hall, was re-
 served to members to-day, and will be
 during the week. The communion ser-
 vices to-day, however, were of a public
 character.

QUIET DAY FOR PRESIDENT.
Attends Church with His Family a,
 Oyster isa

Oyster Ssa
 Oyster Bay, N. T., June 2S.-President Roosevelt passed quiet Sunday with his family at his Sagamore Hiil home. During the afternoon some relatives and personal friends called. The pres ilent and family attended divine service this morning at Christ church. At the conclusion of the service an opportunity was taken by the members of the par ish to pay their respects to the chief ex- ecutiVe.
 It is announced by Secretary Loeb that the president will receive few call- CTS at Sagamore Hill this summer, and those who hope to see him will be oblig- ed to make arrangements through MT. Loeb in advance of their arrival at Oyster Bay. The president will devote his mornings to the transaction of ex- ecutive business and his afternoons to recreation and rest. During the after moons, too, he will receive such callers as may have engagements with him, or those whom he may summon to Saga more Hill.
 The executive offices selected for Sec retaries Loeb and Barnes and the cleri- cal force this year are much more com- modious and convenient than those oc- cupied last year. They consist of six rooms in the second story of the Moore block, and are well arranged and ad- mirably adapted to the purposes of the executive staff. The desks and other furniture in the offices are chiefly those which were used in the executive offices of the old White House.
 President Roosevelt will spend no time in the offices, his work being done in his library at Sagamore Hild. The offices are in direct communication by telephone with Sagamore Hill.

BACCALAUREATE AT WESLEYAN
Dr. Raymond Says Employer and Em- pIoye Both Put Money Before Manhood

Dr. Raymond Says Employer and Ena- pIoye Both Put Money Before Manhood
 Middletown, Conn.,, June 2S.-Presi- dent Bradford Paul Raymond, D. D., IL. D., delivered the baccalaureate ser mon at the commencement exercises held at Wesleyan university this morn ing. President Raymond took for his text: Galatians i, 15, r: But when it pleased God to reveal His son to me, immediately conferred not with flesh and blood" He said in part:
 The age needs to be made sensitive of Paul's standard of value. The desire for gain has given us wealth and the machinery of wealth. But if our esti- mate of scientific knowledge compro- mises our ideals, it costs more than it is worth. What modification of the old theory is made necessary by the doc trines of evolution? There is a chasm which has not been bridged. This is a revelation which is yet to be made to our age.
 I know of no more difficult task in the evolution of the kingdom of God on earth than that of lifting this indus tflal age 10 the lever oI InlS new IeNSi= ation. And it is just so difficult a task for the e1nploye as the employer. Both put money first and manhood second. That gradation of values will have to be changed. That gradation does not conform to the revelation of God in man. Man is first and all else is Instrumental. My friends, it is a long road. Beware of the man who thinks the goal can be reached one week from to-day. But the task is upon us, the way of advance has been blazed. Confident as I am that Jesus Christ's programme stands for the ideal order underlying the ages, just so confident am that it works as so- cial force in the institution of our time, while the age goes on toward the day of the manifestation of Sons of God.

TWO FL4SKS DISPLAYED BY
 STAMFORD MINISTER.

Creates Sensation by Declaring That
 Both Were Obtained sunday Morning

 she Closing Hour Provided by Law.
 Stamford, June 2s.-Rev. W. J. Cady, pastor of the Methodist Protestant church, created a sensation tonight when he carried with him to his pulpit two fiasks of whiskey. MT.

He said that the. liquor had been procured by two mem bers of his congregation early this morning, after the closing hour provid- ed by law.
 MT. Cady said that for the past month it has been nIs custom to arise between 8 and o'clock on Sunday mornings and to wander through the city. His inves- tigations in this manner showed him that 80 per cent. of the saloonkeepers in town were doing business early Sun day mornings. In bringing his address to a close MT.

Ienuer-kettanct'S Fine Record.
 Newport, R. l.. June 2s.-For the first time since the rival cup yachts Reli- ance. Constitution and Columbia began the seasons racing they were all at their moorings in Newport harbor to- night, fully prepared for continuation of their interesting contests in the six races which have been arranged off this port on every day this week by the New York Yacht club.
 While the day winner in each will in all probability receive some emblem from the club, the races have been planned more as test of the yachts in the open sea and in the strong winds which usually prevail at this point on the coast. The contests will also have some bearing with the Americas cup committee n the selection of defender of the cup against Shamrock H., all though what are known as the official triad races will not take place until the last of next month.
 Up to the present time the three yachts have sailed eight finished races and in each one the latest aspirant for cup-defending honors-the Reliance has finished in the lead, although, ow- ing to secrecy regarding the actual measurements of the two boats, there is some question whether or not the Con- stitution did not win two of them be- cause of her smaller sail area, as in, each case she was scarcely two minutes behind the Reliance at the line.
 The races this week will all be under the direction of the regatta committee of the New York Yacht club, and as the members will be the guests of Colonel R. H. Thompson on board the steam yacht Reverie, that yacht will fly the committee flag for the week. The race win start off Brenton's Reef lightship at 11:30 a. m. and will! be the regular cup length, thirty miles, either fifteen miles to windward or leeward, or trian- gular, ten miles on a side. The indica- tions tonight are for light winds to- morrow and perhaps rain.
