hands whenever it suits his own con-
venience. In the same way the use OF
torture by the mob in certain cases Is
sure to spread until it is practiced more
or less Unfortunately In other cases.
The spirit Of lawlessness grows with what
it feeds on, and when mobs with I'M
punity lynch criminals for one cause they
are certain to begin to lynch real and
alleged criminals for other causes. In the
recent cases of lynching over three

torture In order to punish crimes OF an

practice usually portends. Surely all

Nation Must Suffer For Crime.
1.-THE nation, like the Individual, cannot
commit a crime with impunity. If we are
guilty Of lawlessness or brutal violence,
whether our guilt consists in active par
ticipation therein or in mere connivance
and encouragement, we shall assuredly
suffer later on because Of what We have
done. The cornerstone Of this republic
as Of all free government, is respect fol
| and obedience to the law. Where we per-
NIT the law to be defied or evaded
whether by rich man or by poor man, by
black or white, we are by just so much
weakening the bonds Of our civilization
and increasing the chances Of its over
throw and Of the substitution therefor Of
a system in which there shall be violent
alterations Of anarchy and tyranny

Theodore Roosevelt.

Constantinople, Aug. 10.-The murder
Of the Russian consul M Rostkovski, has
sole topic of conversation in the streets,
cafes and public resorts. The general be-
lief is that the incident is bound to con-
siderably aggravate the already serious
situation in Macedonia and it is felt that
it will undoubtedly encourage the Bull
garians to support the insurrectionary
movement which is spreading rapidly not
ably to the southwark Of Monastir.
According to mail advices from Monastir
dated Aug. 5, the insurgents who recently
occupied the little town of Krushevo, 20
miles north of Monastir, numbered 900.
They killed the garrison of fifty two SOL

RESIGNS AS PASTOR OF CHRIS
TIAN CHURCH AT SUM-
DAY SERVICE.
Resignation Not Yet Accepted, and
Congregation Do Not Want
to Give Him Up.

At the service Sunday at the Chris
tian church, Rev. Frank Thompson
rendered his resignation as pastor, but
the resignation has not yet been ac-
cepted, and the congregation is so
opposed to giving him up that his reslg-
nation will not be accepted if he can
be induced at all to withdraw it.
Rev. Thompson was called to the
pastorate of the church here about
three years ago, and he has so en-
deared himself to his congregation
that they would part with him now
with many regrets. He has also won
the high esteem of everybody, regard
less of church affiliation.
1t is said that Mr. Thompson has
70 special place in view to which he
would go from here We're his reslgna-
tion accepted, but has offered his res
ignation so that the congregation may
call new pastor, thinking perhaps
another could accomplish better re-
suits here than himself. and that per-
haps he could do more good elsewhere.

Boston, Aug. 3--In cotton manuAc-
turing circles in this city. it is expect
ed that more than 1000 900 spindles
will be idle throughout the north dur
ing the month of August, due mainly
to the high prices in the cotton mar
ket and the hesitancy of purchasers
Of goods to agree to any marked ad-
vance while any raw material, purchas-
ed before the rise remains in the store
houses. Attempts have been made TO
induce all cotton manufacturers to
enter general agreement TO shut
down for stated period or certain
days of each week, but owing to
large number Of unfinished contracts
an ronclad agreement was deemed in
expedient at this time.
The conditions in the cotton market
have caused much inconvenience in

America About one-third of the 80 900
