C. Paul. The old man was too weak toSelimb into the wit ness box and begged to be allowed to take a seat at the foot Of the pedestal upon which stands the witness chair
 Already a aFrvous wreck, apparently kinsley lost complete control or him' self. He arose during the recital In his own behalf and staged before the jury to go on with his story the bet ter to illustrate how he was set upon first by his victim and afterwards how he reached for his own knife and killed the other man when he thought ne was going to be murdered himself.
 Although no one saw Paul strike Kingsley. two witnesses heard crash and afterwards a broken shaving mug was found on the floor. Dr. Baker tes- tiled that Kingsley had deep gash on the top of his head.
 Kingsley was a member of Dan Elm metts famous original Minstrel Com pany and he served in the Clvh War from 1861 to the surrender of Lee at Appomattox. The trial was continued until tomorrow.

 In the few faint-hearted Christians who sometimes fear that their religion is on the wane. this table will prove a comforting balm. It is gratifying to note that Christianity is increasing more rapidly now than at any time in its history. Tn the last two centuries Its numbers have doubled. By far the most encouraging fact in regard to the growth of Christianity from this time forward is that it's spread will mean greater freedom and liberty for the people of many nations of the world WnO are nOW Ine rule of tyrannical government. It IS said that Edison has often remarked to his friends that he was thankful for at least one thing in regard to his dis covery of electricity. and that was he was assured that wherever his discove- ry went there would follow in it's wake a beam of light. 'Tis happy thought and yet no truer than that which Clad stone expressed when he said that the worlds greatest and most precious treasure is the religion of Christ. spreading abroad free to hlgh and low, wherever it goes, the light of love, liberty and life"

Phenomenal indeed has been the growth of Christianity since the death of its founder upon Cavalry's Hill. Upon what the world commonly deems a dead Christ has been built the most marvellous system of religion the world has ever known. True to the pro- phesy of it's founder 1t has spread to the uttermost parts of the earth" The Presbyterian Year Book has published recently the following table. which is approximately correct. It shows strikingly the growth of Christianity by centuries:

RACE AGAINST TIME
To Catch Alleged Hotel
Beat.

Columbus, o., Sept. lie. P. Arm
strong, United States marshal Of Lo.
gan, Ohio, begun long race against
time today, when II. F. Ambrose, a
hotel proprietor of Logan, placed in
his hands requisition from Governor
Herrick, upon the governor of Wash
ington state for Charles Burton White,
an alleged hotel beat, and told him to
go to Vancouver, Washington, as fast
as steam could carry him.
The reason for the haste is that Mr.
Ambrose had received a telegram from
the police authorities of Vancouver,
warning him that they could hold
White four days and that the four
days would date from o'clock Satur-
day afternoon.
Ambrose is said to be only one of
scores of hotel men all over the coun-
try who have been swindled by White.
The National Association of Hotel
men is backing Ambrose.

ROOSEVELT
WILL BE URGED TO USE HIS
INFLUENCE
TO STOP WAR IN EAST
Inter Parliamentary Uns
ion Makes Request

st. Louis, Mo, Sept. 11.-Presiden
Roosevelt will be asked by the 1ntel
Parliamentary Union for the promo
tion of international arbitration, to use
his good offices to mediate between
Russia and Japan.
During the meeting of the executive
council of the union very lively dis
cussion arose over the question as tc
what action should be taken in refer
ence to the Russo-Japanese war. M
Cochery, one of the French deputies
and Marquis Di San Gueliano, the pres
made short speeches in which they
held that in view of hostilitles being
actually in progress, 1t would be bes'
if the union should make no refer
ence to the war. At this DR.. Gobat
the general secretary and a member
of the Swiss council, became much
aroused . In a fierce speech he de
clared that IL this conference of the
union should adjourn without taking
notice of the most bloody war OF
modern times" it would become the
laughing stock of the whole civilized
world. Several other members agreed
with this view with the result that a
resolution was finally adopted for
presentation to the congress next week
II was stated later that an amend
ment would be offered asking Presi
dent Roosevelt to tender his good of
fees as a mediator between the two
belligerents.
Anothed important question before
the council which developed much riv.
airy, was that of the choice of the
agreed to recommend to the confer.
ence a meeting at Brussels next year
London in 1906 and Copenhagen in
1907.
A resolution will be adopted by the
conference expressing qualification at
between France and Great Britain,
France and Italy, France and Spain
and the probability of others being
concluded in the near future.
The exact language of the resolu'
tion to be adopted providing for sec,
ond session of The Hague Peace Con,
ference and specifying the subjects to
be considered was the subject of an.
minated discussion. Congressman Bur.
ton, of Ohio: Mr.. Stanhope, of the
British House of Commons, and Bar.
on D'Huart, a Belgian deputy, were
appointed subcommittee to draft the
resolution.
The principal papers to be read be-
fore the conference will be one by
DR.. Gobat, of Switzerland. on what
has been accomplished so far by inter
national agreements and what is yet
to come; by Congressman Burton, Of
Ohio, on the necessity of a secons
session of The Hague Conference and
the desirability of admitting the Cen
trail and South American and Asiatic
countries to the union; by Count Ap-
ponii Of Hungary, on the revision of
the Geneva convention so that sub
marine mines and other analogous en-
gines Of war may be completely inter
dicted because Of their menace to
neutrals; and by Congressman Hep.
burn, Of Iowa, on the protection Of
private property at sea in times of
war.
