Judges Charge TO Jury.

Judge Thomas g. Jones, ofthe United
States court, organized the grand jury
for the October term at Huntsville,
Ala, Tuesday and delivered a sensa-
tional charge directing an Investigation
Of the lynching of Horace Naples, on
September. The Judge reviewed the
lynching and said thatif inftbe opinion
of the grand jury the mob lynched
Naples because he wa a negro, and
would not have lynchsd a white man
under similar circumstances, the ofense
was a violation of the 18th amendment
to the constitution Of the United States,
and the offenders must be indicted. He
said if the mob was actuated by race
prejudice the lynching constituted
crime against the United States. He
also directed the grand jury to indict
the members OF the mob for firing thejail,
in which United States prisoners were
confined. He said that the mob evinced
general malevolence toward mankind
and violated the laws OF God and man.
In conclusion, Judge Jones begged the
grand jurymen on their return home to
fight mobs as they would band of free
hooters invading their homes. "Can
you imagine Robert f. Lee and John
3. Gordon assaulting Jail to lynch
prisoner for any crime" he asked.
No. he replied, "they were type of
courage, and held the law in venera-
iiou." He said the public has too hong
depended on the newspapers to condemn
the mob spirit, and only gave the editors
unspoken approval, leaving them to
bear the burden alone.

SEVERAL happenings combined yes
terday to raise high the hopes of the
democratic national campaign managers.
One was the report received at head
quarters in New York of the opening
speech made in Indiana by w. j.
Bryan, who has started on his compre-
hensive tour of the State. Another was
a meeting of county chairmen with the
New York State committee, at which
encouraging reports were submitted, and
the third was statement from Mayor
Carter Harrison, OF Chicago, TO the ef
feet that the factions of Cook county
were now united in an aggressive fight
against the common eneIAy. The tide
Is running strong in favor of Judge
Parker's election and bids fair to engul
his adyersaries.

PROFESSOR BYRNEs, a school teacher
of Bainbrdge, Ca, reproved five OF thu
older girls for neglecting studies anc
flirting with boys. In revenge the girls
yesterday procured croton oil aud poured
il on Byrnes's lunch. The professor did
not eat a. noon, however, and carried
the lunch To his boarding place. de
ate some, and gave the remainder to the
children of his landlady, Mrs. Barber.
All became violently i'll. 1t is feared
Byrnes and two Of the children will die.
Some States have laws prescribing penal
ties where practical jokers indulge in acts
similar to that described above Many
thoughtless people have no idea OF the
danger incurred in perpetrating such
cruel jokes, and should either of the vic
TINS of the Georgia school girls die the
latter will have skeletons in their closets
as long as they live.

Lack of Courtesy.

The st. James Gazette yesterday even
ing expressed deep regret at the neglect
of the British to extend hospitality to
their American cousins aboard the Olym-
pia, and the accompanying vessels of the
American navy, which have been anchor
ed on the Thames for several weeks. 1t
says: at has been left for the Pilgrims
a private society, to undertake the enter
tainment of our guests which should
have been received as precious Oppor-
tunity by the municipal authorities.
The utter provincialism thus displayed
by the worlds greatest city and port is
not very creditable- An occasion has
come, and we in London have signally
failed to rise to it. We appreciate the
American navy, respect its fighting power
sympathize in its triumphs with generous
recognition, and we like to feel that if
ever the shock of general warfare should
dye the high seas, the red and white en-
sign aud the Stars and Stripes would
cover in close alliance the fighting ships
of Anglo Saxondom. Ard yet when we
have an opportunity to make our friend
ship and our knowledge more intimate
we allow it to slip without making an
effort to make good use Of it,.

The EpIscopal Convention.

Boston, Oct. 13.-After an hour (
wrangling over the assertion that one
man had seat belonging to another in
the House of Deputies of the General
Convention of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, the House went in committee oil
the whole, and Rev. Parks announced
that be desired to withdraw the minority
report of the dissenting members OF the
canons, regarding marriage and divorce.
The question being put to a vote the mi
nority report was withdrawn unani-
mously.
Discussion of the majority report in
the same manner being resumed, Mr..
Francis A. Lewis, ofPennsylvania, said /:
eve are entitled, beyond reasonable
doubt, 10 know that one party is inno-
cent before soiemnizing re-marriage. |
am entirely opposed to these re-mar-
riages. / believe that in ninety-nine out
of hundred divorces granted for adultery,
there is no innocent party. | want to
go back to my home and say that the
Protestant Episcopal Church is out of
the re-marryiDg business forever"
Rev. Geo. @. Hall, of Delaware, said
that tor 500 years adultery was unknown
in ancient Rome, but when she allowed
the putting away of husband or wife,
she committed one of the greatest errors
ever made ia the worlds history. She
allowed some OF her people to commit
spiritual prostitution, and those people
were never separated. They had no de-
sire to be divorced F; they both could do
az they pleased" He cited the case of
a woman in high life, who hearing over
the telephone that her divorce had been
granted, drove as rapidly as she could
to the town hall with the bridegroom
elect for a marriage license, and in one
hour aud twenty minutes was married
in the presence Of eleven witnesses by the
Judge who signed the divorce decree.
Rev. q. f. Grammer, of Virginia,
argued in favor Of re-marriage to the inno-
cent party, saying that no matter if the
Church did refuse to re-marry
divorced persons, it would not keep them
from having the ceremony performed.
he felt it decided injustice for the
church to refuse the ceremony to,innocent /:
parties. You make your church laws |
slricter than the scripture" he said.
