But though Christian etiquette in

During the last part of the sermon
you should not he signing and turning

you should not meanly steal that time

Grand Master Hannahan, of the

attention to the fact that a New York
newspaper had criticised the presi,
dent because he had accepted an hon

of Locomotive Firemen.

does nothing worse than accept mem.

never merit the ill-Will nor deserve
the censure of any Of his fellow men.

replied, has proven to the organized

has an interest in their welfare by
accepting an honorary membership in
an organization of men whose faces
and begrimmed by smoke and dust,
and who daily and hourly face the
gravest dangers"

THE LENA INCIDENT.

iIOm near AOnllFaI GOOOFlCns
Washington, Sept 13.-Secretary
Morton today received a report from
Rear Admiral Goodrich, commander
tn-chief of the Pacific fleet, stating
that he had an inspection made yes
terday of the Russian ship Lena at
San Francisco and that she was gen
timely in need Of repairs. The re-
port shows further the nature of re-
pairs, said to be necessary, but the
officials of the navy department de-
cline to make this part of the tele-
gram public. The report has been
referred to the state department for
action.
Admiral Goodrich's report shows
that to make the temporary repairs
to the boilers and machinery of the
Lena, according to the naval experts
opinion, would require about six
weeks time The captain of the YES.
sci claims that it needs new boil.
ers, and if the request to be allowed
to put these in is granted, no less
than eight months time will be re-

conference this morning and the indi.
cations were that the temporary re-
pairs would be allowed.

China as Japan's Ally.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 13.-1:10 D. m.
The reports that Chinese troops are
concentrating in the valley of the Lao
river are causing considerable concern
here. The Bourse Gazette thinks it
is entirely probable that the Chinese
government will formally propose to
undertake to guard and administer the
territory actually occupied by the Jap
anese, adding:
"To this Japan doubtless will readi.
iy acquiesce, as it will relieve the
Japanese of guarding her lines Of com.
munication. In other words, regular
Chinese troops will become the
auxiliaries of the Japanese, and
and the Japanese army thus relieved
of the necessity of protecting its lines,
stores and land transports, will set
free all the strength of the troops to
operate against Russia. China, thus,
would become actually the ally of ia.
pan. If the reports are confirmed,
not only Russia, but other powers,
must intervene to show China what
the limits of strict neutrality means" !"

Charged With Murder of Sheriff. in
Rowan County.
Charlotte, N. c., Sept. 13.-The TAX.
ing of testimony in the case of Thorn.
ais and Charlie White, charged with
the murder of Russell Sherill, was
completed in the superior court at
Salisbury and argument begun.
The case, owing to the prominence
Of the parties concerned, and the
somewhat unusual circumstances In.
volved, has attracted considerable at
tention. The testimony developed was
to the effect that hearing that young
Sheriff. was responsible for the ruin
of their niece, whose father was dead,
the White brothers, who lived at Con.
cord, went to Sherill's house, in Ro-
wan county, shortly after daybreak,
and called him out on the front piaz.
"a. His mother was present, but
went inside, when they said they wan6
ed to see her son privately.
A short time afterward Sheri1l was
shot twice, each of the Whites dis
charging his pistol.
SheriIl was unarmed. The state
contends that Sherill denied the
charge and declined to keep an alleged
promise to marry the Whites niece,
and as a result, the men put him to
death.
The defense is that Sherill became
enraged and was advancing upon one
of the brothers in a threatening at.
titude, when both opened fire to save
his brother

Valdosta, Ca, Sept. 13-One Of the
coaches of the Georgia Southern and
Florida passenger train, coming from
Jacksonville to this city Monday night,
was the scene Of one of the bloodiest
chapters that has been written in the
history Of the Okef1nokee regions.
In a general melee a white man
named Jackson Duncan was stabbed
to death, two negroes were killed
and Marshal Duncan was stabbed In
several places, and either thrown from
the train running or fell off. The
men who did the killing, according to
the report, are Charles and Hillary
Altman, who reside near Baxter, Fla.
The killing was the result of a
row, preceded by a long period OF
bad feeling between the Duncans,
who are prominent naval stores men,
and the Altmans and other citizens OF
that place, who appear to have been
resentful of the development which
the still and the mill had brought to
that section of the country. The
Duncans have stated here a number
of times that they were always having
trouble with their neighbors, who
persisted in trespassing upon their
lands.
The tragedy caused great excite
ment in that section Of the state.

IN TENEMENT HOUSE
FIRE SIX LIVES LOST
Fire Occurred In Crowded Sec.

HEROIC WORK OF THE FIREMEN

More Than Twenty Families Were
Asleep In the Building, and 1t Ia
Remarkable that Loss of Life Was
Not Greater.
New York, Sept. 13.-Six persons
In one family were burned to death
and six others were injured seriously
in fire which partially destroyed
a tenement building at Nos. 6S-70 Sew,
enty-frst street, early today.
More than 20 families were asleep
in the building. and acts of bravery
accompanied their rescue, which was
accomplished by fremen and the po.
lice
1t was shortly after 2 o'clock when
the alarm was given. Owing to the
danger of the fire in such crowded
section, police reserves from three
precincts were hurried to the scene.
Within the few moments that had
elapsed the flames had gained great
headway from the first floor and the
ror. Women and children were be.
ing dropped from the windows of the
lower floors and dozens of persons
were fighting in the Railways to reach
the open air. 1
A policeman climbed to the roof OF
an adjoining building, and by cling. !
ing to the cornice, reached down toI
the windows of the fifth floor andb
rescued seven children who were hand.l
ed out by their parents. Another Off
ficer, winding his coat around his head,s
entered the building from below and
rolled down the stairs the body of al
half-suffocated man. Three times theH
officer came back carrying two perl

Meantime leaders had been run toV

who were about to jump. Men sought
to reach the fremen first, but were3
thrust back, while the women and
children were taken out. One fre-I
man, although already badly burned

MAINE REPUBLICANS
WIN STATE ELECTION
William 7. Cobb of Rockland Is
Chosen For Governor.
BY A PLURALITY OF 10000

Returns Indicate that Democrats viii
Have Several State Senators, Where.
as They Now Have Only One-Gain
Also In House of Representatives.
Portland. Me, Sept. 13.-The Re-
publicans of Maine were successful
in the state election yesterday, their
candidate for governor, William It.
Cobb, Of Rockland, being elected by
a plurality which probably will be
as high as 10000. This probable
plurality is $500 smaller than that
by which the Republican ticket was
successful in Maine four years ago.
The Democratic leaders are claiming
that the vote indicates an increase in
party strength in the state. On the
other hand the Republican leaders had
declared that they expected only from
$4,000 to $4,000.
The complete returns indicate that
the Democrats will have several state
senators whereas they now have only
one, and that they will make a slight
gain over their present membership in
the state house of representatives
