The list of pupils who are neither

acquired and its value in after life is
almost inestimable The only induce

PREACHER IS FREED.
REV. w. {. HINSHAW Is PAROLED
IN INDIANA.
Last Official Act of Governor Durbin Is
to Release Man of Whose Guilt Many
Had Doubts Politician Shot Through
Window.

The last official act of retiring Gov.
Winfield T. Durbin of Indiana was the
unconditional parole of William r. Hin
shaw a minister, convicted of the muir
der of his wife, Thurza Hinshaw, at
BeIleville, Ind, ten years ago. Since his
conviction the Rev. Hinshaw has been
confined in the Michigan City prison. In
issuing the unconditional parole Gov.
Durbin took the position that the State
in the prosecution of the case had failed
utterly to establish q motive for the
crime. The case to-day, the Governor
said, is as full of mystery as it was ten
years ago. and all the intervening years
have failed to throw new light on the
tragedy. According to the Governor, the
history of the case is sufficient reason
for the release of the prisoner. Inc
murder occurred at Belleville about q.
M. Jan. 10, 1895. Hinshaw's story was
that burglars got into the house and that
he and his wife had a desperate night
with them. Mrs. Hinshaw was slashed
eighteen times with n razor and shot
twice The trial occupied five weeks IN
the Hendricks Circuit Court, the theory
of the prosecution being that HlnshaW
and his wife Quarreled over another
woman; that Mrs. Hinshaw threw her
self down on the bed and was shot by
her husband who inflicted the wounds
on himself to carry out the burglar story;
that he carried her to the place where
she was found and then gave the alarm

Public Benefactors Falling Off.

There was a marked falling off in do
nations and requests by the wealthy per-
sons of the United States during the year
of 1904. The amount of money given
for philanthropic purposes i'll the past
twelve months totaled $46,296,9S0. In
1903 the figures were $76,0O0,O00, and in
1901 the record-holding year, the amount
was $123,OOO,OOO. Mr.. Carnegie has not
given SO much to public libraries and
many multi-millionaires have decreased
the amounts of their benefactions. New
ertheless, Mr.. Carnegie has given SILL
$4,000, the big gifts being $5,000,000 for
the Hero Fund and another $5,O00,00O
for the Pittsburg Carnegie Institute. Mr..
Rockefeller's benefactions total 81 ,461,-

HATFlELDs ON THE wARPATH.
Noted Mountaineers Have Begun An
other Feud.

The notorious Hatfield band of West
Virginia, whose members have partici-
pated in many feuds, has broken forth
again and another reign of terror is
promised. This time the Hatfelds are
at war with family named Duty, living
ON Pigeon creek, in Mingo county. AL
ready two lives, one from each side, have
been sacrificed, and it is expected that
much more blood will be shed before the
feud is ended.
Harvey Duty, head of the Duty fam
lily, has nine grown sons who are agi-
tating the feud with the Hatfields. The
Dutys once were the staunchest friends
of the Hatfield gang and aided them in
their feud against the McCoys by CIV
ing them shelter, food and clothing.
The trouble originated with George
Hensley, who married Mary Hatfield,
daughter of Devil Anse. Hensley lived
with Devil Anse on Island creek. Be
cause he had become one of the Hatfield
gang he sought to terrorize the Duty
boys. On election day he announced that
he would kill Morgan and Jake Duty.
But they got the drop on him and he
himself was killed. That set Devil"
Anse and Cap Hatfield going, and
since then Marion Duty has been killed.
His nine brothers have declared that
they will die or avenge his death. The
Dutys, while they own a large farm and
are prosperous, are considered the most
daring band in West Virginia.
The Hatfields have led rather an I'M
eventful life since 1897, when Aaron
Hatfield married Mary Mccoy and
brought comparative peace. The mem
bers of the band did not let their rifles
rust, however, for in July, 1899, Elias
Hatfield shot and killed III. e. Ellis, a
wealthy lumberman, who had assisted
in the capture of Johnson Hatfield the
previous year. One year later Wayne
Hatfield, son of the jailer in Hatfield
county, kept in practice by shooting and
killing his cousin, Will Hatfield, during
a quarrel.

been in dollhouse condition for twenty
years. We have analysed the Bible and
dogmatized the Bible, and have had
heresy trials that were more dangerous
than Chicago fires, and we have asked
questions and answered them. We have
passed from the old thought that the
world was created in six days to the new
thought that God is making a new world
every moment. At length we understand
that God is not far off, that He is not to
interrupt our laws with miracles, but
that He is close to man and is living
with him all the time. All this is the
result of science. We are at the begin
ming of one of the greatest church going

before the Civil War he had famtly trou-

1872 was elected to the United States
Senate, making him in point of priority
of service one of the veterans OF the
Senate He was defeated for re-elec-
ton in 1879 and in 1885 was again elect

defeated, but four years later was again
chosen, his term to expire in 1907.
Binger Hermann was long a member
of Congress before he was made land
commissioner by President Mckinley.
He was again elected to Congress few
years ago after retiring from the land
office. He has been prominent i'll Oregon

The territory is declared by some au-
