believe contained some poisonous drug,

1T seems that Mr.. Th orpo hnd FOR some
time been drinking a connection called
cider. On Saturday night he was taken ak

tiled that death was due to hen,orrhase
caused by some powerful drug PROB ply

This is ~ subject which demands the
attention OF the people OF, Virginia. For
years preparations called cider and some
times called 'pure apple cider" have been
sold promlscuously, when In point Of
fact the miserable stuff never saw cider
mill, but was manufactured by processes
known to latter day chemists. Every
such preparation should be analysed by
the authorities, and, II found to contain
poisonous drugs. should of course, be
prohibited. Moreover, It should be made made
Il misdemcanor for any person to offer
for sale under an assumed name any
fake preparation masaueradng as apple
cider. Such preparations arc sold In
Richmond, and we put the authorities
on notice. I'll,
But the investigation should not be
confined to cider. Many drinks especially
alcoholic drinks. are sold under assumed
names III this community, and we have
no sort OF doubt that some OF them n

Grated to the teaching of a universal
brotherhood the brethren were not only
denied brotherhood but denied the right to
life which God had given them and had
only the right to take away.
On July 6, 1ll5, as the sun rose over the
land John Huss was taken to the OUT
skirts of the city, where he was chained
to a stake, and as the flames rose to lash
the life from his body there was heard not
a murmur, not a culver OF relentment came
from those lips or shone from those up
lifted eyes. Thus died the hero 10 religious
reform, died the defender OF truth. AS I
stood by the stone which marks this spot
where John Huss was burned 1 thought OF
the moment that l stood by the tomb OF
Napoleon; looking down beautiful sarco-
phagus thought OF the extreme difference
in the aims of the two. One strove to
conquer the world by arms, the other to
free the peoples of the world by teaching
freedom of thought-one with the aim OF
enslaving. the other with the aim Of liberat>
ing humanity.
Lesson of Great Life.
1 thought that l could indeed see the
great Huss as he stood on his funeral pyrO
with uplifted eye and silenced lip. stiil
knowing that he was right and unfalterin9
in his convictions as the flames bore him
beyond. Is there in all history an example
of such fidelity to a conviction and has any
other principle liberated the people more
than the teaching of Huss? He was indeed
inspired, as are all immortalised heroes.

can name the man they
wish to be put in charge

Forty-ive more distributing stations will

completes another refinery and increases
the capacity of the one at Cherryvale.
The refinery and oil lands and oil produc-
lions, owned and controlled by this com
pany, with its franchises, pipe lines and
machinery are worth, on a conservative
basis, today close to Six Hundred Thou
sand Dollars. In addition to the above
mentioned property back of this company
there are over one Hundred and Twenty
Five Thousand Dollars (S125.OOO) subscribed
on glt-edged installment contracts, which
will all be paid in during the next four
months, This money is for stock that is
already allotted and on which two and
three payments already have been re-
mitted by the purchasers. There is not a
shadow of a doubt but that all OF the
money will be paid promptly as 1t falls
due, at fro 1890 to Sl,6OO daily during
the next 100 days.

JEW BATTER RESUMES TALK

Agitation.

BERLIN, July 22.-(special Cablegram to
The Bee)-Count Puokler. the notorious
antI-semitic agitator. who had for some
time been deprived of his liberty of speech
on the ground that his utteranoes were
dangerous and provocative of a breach Of
the peace, has had this prohibition removed
and appeared recently before an enthusi-
astic crowd Of his admirers. Although the
police were present in the hall, Count
Pueckler was allowed to utter the most
revolving indictments against the Jews. He
gloated over the methods employed in
Russia, regretting that he could not i'm
port some Russian Jew-baiters into Berlin.
Let u.s." he said. "craek the heads of
the Jews as we would crack nuts. Then
only can Germany attain a supreme posi-
ton in the world"
Away with those princes" he cried In
conclusion, who permit Jews 10 visit them,
who decorate them with orders, and grant
them titles"
