Books were his dearest companions
and he left a nice library Of religious,
philosophical and historical volumes. 1t
had been revealed 70 him that he would
die a peaceful Death. Shortly before his
death he took the holy sacraments, stat
ed that he had no enmity toward any
body and confessed his belief in the uni
versal, omnipresent and everything Christ.
He was like one of the old prophets and
patriarchs who thought and ~prophesied
OF the better things to come.
Peace be unto his soul.

GREENvILLE.
Great Welcome to the New Methodist
 Minister.

Greenville, Jan. 2.-(Special. )-Miss Fine Pilley, elder daughter of Hon. H. B. Pilley, was married last night to Luther Taylor of Bryan, Texas, Rev. J. P. Hamilton oficiating. It was a very quiet home wedding, only a few relatives and close friends being pres ent. The ceremony took place about 9 o'clock and MT. and Mrs. Taylor left on the 10:40 train for their future home in the Lone Star State.
 The groom is a prosperous business man and a prominent citizen of Bryan. He came to Greenville Tuesday last, and remained until he could carry his bride back with him. Mrs. Taylor has been teaching since she graduated a few years ago, being connected with the public school of this place until last September, when she accepted a position at Georgiana. The marriage came as surprise to many of her friends here. very few knowing of 1t until this morning. She is an accomp- lished young woman, easy of manner, and will win friends in her new home.
 Rev. J. P. Hamilton preached yes terday morning to an appreciative au- dience at the Methodist Church, this being his first message to his new charge. He made fine impression on his hearers. and at the close of the ser vice a large number remained to meet him personally.
 Last night the church was crowded with members of all denominations, who gathered to welcome the new pas tor. Major T. W. Peagler presided. and after a fine selection by the choir introduced Rev. W. A. Taliaferro, who in behalf of the Baptist Church, and other denominations, welcomed MT. Hamilton in our midst. MT. Taliaferro was very happy in his remarks and cordial to the new minister. He was followed by Hon. H. B. Pilley, who represented the Board of Stewards and the church as whole. MT. Pilley's ad- dress was timely and interesting, and heard with much pleasure by the audi ence. MT. Hamilton replied in an earn est manner, thanking all who had well comed him. and for the kind reception accorded him since the moment of his arrival. The service was enjoyed by the large audience.
 All the colored churches watched the old year go out and welcomed the new year by the ringing of bells. The whistle of the cotton oil mill and the Catholic bell chimed in, making the welkin ring.
 MT. and Mrs. Edward Bruner lief. at noon for their home at Rayne, La., Af- ter a visit to Mrs. Minnie Stewart and family.
 J. A Black returned to Luverne this morning after short visit to rela- lives.
 The entertainment by the tribe of Red Men from Fort Deposit, Saturday night, was quite a success, and was much enjoyed. The door receipts were excellent, considering the short notice given of the coming of the troupe. Quite a large number of citizens from Fort Deposit came with the tribe, the Ge- neva train being well filled as 1t pulled into the station here.

 World.
 The senate of the fty-eighth Con- gress will go down in history as having witnessed an unprecedented number of It's members accused of crime. Three Senators have been indicted for the use of influence to control government al action. for which they are accused Of having accepted compensation. These are Charles H. Dietrich of Ne braska, Joseph B. Burton of Kansas and John H. Mitchell of Oregon.
 From the day of his indictment to the present time Mir Burton has ab- sented himself from the Senate cham Der and has not attended any meetings or committees of which he is a mem- Der. He was given a quiet intimation that this was the best course. as his conviction, if sustained by the court or last resort, would act automatically in removing him from the Senate, and If he persisted in performing his du- ties it might be so offensive to other senators as to result in action being taken looking to his expulsion, the Sem ate being the sole judge of the quali- hcations of its own members.
 Mr. Mitchell is now en route to this clty to attend the sessions of the Sem ate. which will be resumed Wednesday It Is considered certain that he will be given an intimation similar to that which MT. Burton received, that it will De best for him to remain away! from the senate chamber until a final dis position of his case is reached.

Our Daily Short Story

came Into London, a stranger, a hope- I full one. with somewhat more nerve than common sense. It is failure we have, my lady, up in Northumber- land. l count the Hotspur as a kins- man. And being strange. fell in with two youngsters of the court. Your cousin Ellis of Hexham was one. Hab- beton was the other." My Lord Habbetonv A sudden un- derstanding flashed in her eyes. "He told your?
 He told me the loyeliest, proudest woman in London town was the Lady , Beatrix Cheyne." Hastings bowed his head with merry grace. He told me the Lady Beatrix boasted that no man had ever kissed her lips, and the mat ter was a standing wager in the town, and at court, that the man who should bear proof that he had kissed the Lady Beatrix's lips-her lips, 1t was express ly designated-" He paused, with a half apologetic glance. She flushed, but did not speak. That mans for tune was assured. He would be &C., claimed the bravest man in London and the luckfest, swore that before break of day I would bring back proof. FL lis gave me directions. the route of the coach and what to bring. The proof was to be the medallion of yourself
 
 Her hand sought the medallion half consciously as it lay among the laces of her bodice.
 Tt was a brave boast" He caught the sting of scorn in her tone.
 "Braver than seeking purses, my lady" he laughed. 'The only thing the youngsters did not tell me was that the Lady Beatrix travels armed" She lifted her lashes proudly and looked at him.
 My Lord Habbeton is somewhat bit ter over his own failure at winning the wager. He has taken a poor re- venge." Slowly her fingers unpinn ed the medallion from her breast, and held 1t out to him. 'T am minded to be revenged on him. Yo umay take that back to town with you, and tell him you have won the wager"
 T would rather hang at noon to- morrow"
 You cannot hang unless I bear wit ness against you that you are a high wayman. and stole from me-"
 T stole the kiss"
 Then will I swear 1t was not stolen" Her glance fell before his for the first time. She took up the lantern and hesitated. When one has shot A man for so slight a thing, and the man happens to fall at ones very feet, and one takes him in ones own car riage that he may receive help at once, and has time to think upon his death, 1t is most pitiful. My father waits for me. Will you come free. Sir High wayman?"
 She opened the door. and held the lantern up for him to see his way. When he reached her eide. he stopped T am not penitent, and deserve no pardon. If 1t were to do again. I should do it."
 She laughed softly. and drew the hood of her cloak up over her brown hair.
 Then is the medallion twice won. am unarmed."
 And he took the lantern from her hand and kissed her upon the lips. as has been expressly designated in the wager at the Sign of the Dancing Bear. and she laid the medallion in his hand.

Moro Defences. Ma zfpa


 For savages, the Moros are remark able builders of Qualifications. On JoIo the works have been simple enough af- fairs. consisting usually of a trench and wall. But the cottas in Mindanao are different proposition. Most of them consist of three lines of defen- ces. They are surrounded by wet meats from ten to thirty-five feet in depth and from eight to forty feet wide. On the inner side of the moat is a wall of earth from ten to twenty feet high, pierced by loopholes. It is impenetra- ble by rifle fire or shrapnel. The meth cd of entrance is by a single hole, cut so low that a man must enter bent ov- CT almost on his hands and knees. The only means of crossing the moat is by means of a loose bamboo pole thrown from bank to bank with a light hand rail alongside. These can be destroyed or drawn in at a moments notice by the garrison.
 Inside the door, screening the en- trance, is a traverse so that on enter ing you are obliged to turn to the right or left. Some cottas have in addition on one side a trap, where, in a hidden mudhole, man sinks to his shoulders

searched for him, the passenger lists of all steamers leaving Philadelphia and New York since october 2S have been scrutinized. and the police of Philadelphia have worked in vain to find him.
 His brother -in-law, Francis Mulgrew, who Is in business at Seventieth Street and Columbus Avenue, has taken an active part in the hunt as he and NKel- ly were intimate and for years Kelly had made 1t a practice, a habit, in fact, to keep his brother-in-law always posted as to his whereabouts.
 MT. Mulgrew said to-day that he could only feel that Kelly had met with foul play.
 'T feel" he added, "that when he turns up 1t will be as a dead man. There Is some amazing reason for this silence. Some organization is, think, at the bottom of 1t all. and if Kelly had any enemies, they were in the Clan -na- Gael.
 He was a member of both that or ganization and the Ancient Order of Hibernians. and when he led a lot of Clan-na-Gael men over to Redmond and away from the Fenian element, he antagonized a great number of persons. That's why I think there must be an organization back of his disappear ance."
 When the case of Dr. Cronin was re- called to MT. Mulgrew. he shook his head. and after a silence. he said:
 T hope 1t won't be as bad as that"
 MT. Mulgrew said also that nothing adequately explained the case, as Mir. Kelly's financial and family affairs are in the best of condition. He has a large cotton mill. known as the Well come Mill. at Adams and Amber Street, which Is being managed by his part ner, Daniel Wade; and a grocery store at Girard Avenue and Franklin Street, which is being conducted by the Con- tinental Trust Company.
 The Clan-ra-Gael fight in .Philadel- phia was extremely bitter. and followed by long litigation, in which MT. Kelly was prominent.

Our Police and Lopdon.s.

Consul General Evans prints in the Consular Reports some astonishing facts about the London police force in 1903
 The metropolitan district extends ov- CT radius of fifteen miles from Char. ing Cross (exclusive of the old city of London, which is about one mile square), and embraces 6SS.S1 square miles. The number of police available was 25 superintendents, 474 inspectors, 1,SS6 sergeants and 12,225 constables (patrolmen); total. 14,620. The pay of the force amounts to $7,110,63S.
 That Is an average of only $4S7 per year per man of all grades. Proba- tioners get $3s4 per week. patrolmen $5,S4 per week. rising to $7.7s.
 But these ill-paid men "get results"
 The number of persons arrested in 1908 was 124,554. of whom 3,322 were convicted by the law courts and 9S,- 5SS by magistrates. There were 6S4 cases of acquittal, bills ignored by ses- sions etc. and 21.ss7 were discharged by magistrates. Only one arrested prisoner in five escaped unpunished.
 Most remarkable of all is the murder

and can be cut up at leisure by the de- lenders. The second line consists of another embankment, and within this are several smaller keeps, each ditched and walled and loopholed for fire and spear thrusts. The entire interior Is thickly planted with bamboo, which affords a cover impenetrable to the sharpest eye. The cottas are always well supplied with grain for sustaining a prolonged seize. Crooked passages only large enough for child to squeeze through tunnel under the walls to the moat for water.

 The way London policemen handle traffic is a wonder. Yet they cannot even arrest a disobedient driver. Says MT. Evans: When 1t Is necessary to discipline any one of the thousands of licensed omnibus drivers or conduc- tors. hanson or hackney drivers, or oth- CTS, they are notified to appear at court. They appear. otherwise the H. cense may be withdrawn, and if once withdrawn 1t Is hard to get another. It is to the interest of the London po- licemen to do his duty, his whole du- .ty, courteously.f kindly. but firmly. In this the courts sustain the force The result Is a splendid street discipline, with far-reaching effects in the way of respect for the law"
