The State Board of Pardons OF
Pennsylvania has just disposed of the
case of Mrs. Kate Edwards, the Berks
county woman under sentence OF
death for the murder of her husband,
by refusing to grant her a commute
ton. There is no appeal from the de-
cision of the board, which has twice
before refused to commute the wo-
mans sentence, and Governor Penny
packer will fix the date for her exc
cution later. How would board or
pardon go i'm Vermont?-Montpel
Journal.
We want no pardons issued, except in
rare eases of established innocence.
Every effort should be made to have
both sides given a full and fair hear
ing, in all criminal cases, and the
careful decision finally reached should
be respected. Pardons, except where
innocence is established. in which case
they are not literally pardons, are de-
moralizing to discipline.

OF course the president is "indig-

be delighted over the possibility oil
discourtesy from United States officials
to high class Chinese visiting this

ground of feeling. however, would be
better place from which to view
these complaints considering the sto-

Is Boston vermont's Largest City?

htIIIItDtC, -MV JVuIIIif'I
IT surprises most Maine people 10
learn that Names largest city is To-
Gated in Massachusetts. and yet this
condition of things is figured out by
the promoters of the new State OF
Maine club. which is making such
prosperous beginning in Boston. They
say that in what is known as Greater
Boston there are now living over So
600 natives of Maine, while according
to the last census, Portland. which
most of us have regarded as the larg-
est Maine city, has only $4,000 natives
of Maine. OF course, figures cannot
lie. and still it will not come easy to
us to speak of Boston as the largest
Maine city.

the young. He is a young and energetic
man, full of good thoughts and principles
for work in the church and Sunday school.
At the close Of the evening service the
c. E. society held an informal reception
for the ministers and delegates to which
all were invited to remain. Refresh
ments were served and very enjoyable
time was had by all.
In the Business World by Rev. VIM S.
Writ he thought if there was more of the
spirit of the text carried into the business
world there would be less Of crime and if
there was mas more of the spirit of love
and less Of the spirit Of competition shown
between business men, the world would
be better.
On Tuesday evening tie service was
the installing of their pastor, Rev N. j.
Meyers.
The sermon by Rev. Warren was the
same one he gave the last time he was
here. The text was Sent and Went.
Charge to the minister by Rev. J. P.
Sanderson was very impressive. He, in
his earnest and sincere manner, made
such a touching appeal to the minister to
be true and faithful to bis trust and to
his God.
The charge to the people by Rev. Cur
It's was very unique. He went through
with marriage ceremony between pas
tor and people, Then he asked the peo-
pie to stand by the man they had chosen,
not the first time he preached a sermon
that did not fit them or their ideas to fly
into a fit Of noompatibility and perhaps
90 to some other church for perhaps the
next Sunday the sermon they were look
log for would come, but for pastor and
people to stand by each other as any true
husband and wife stand by each other,

The installation prayer by Rev. Otis
was an earnest prayer to God to watch
over them and that they would be faith
full one to the other and to God.

all who were present. The general theme
through the whole Association was for
ward to Christ and Chrst's new Com
mandment in modern life as carried out,
first in the pulpit in the Sunday School, in
the Christian Endeavor in the home life,
in the social world and in the business
world Christ's new commandment in
modern life, In tile Pulpit, by Rev. J. A.

ministers from which all present could
draw many good and helpful thoughts in
Christian work. He urged active evan

Christ's new commandment in modern
life as carried into the Sunday School by
Rev. Ewing You have all heard Mr..
Ewing so many times and all know how
earnest he is in Sunday school work, it is
only waste Of words to say anything
about his talk on that subject
Mrs. Schall's paper on Christs new
commandment in the Christian Endeavor
was very good. She thinks if we would
be as faithful and thorough in teaching
our children the principals of our faith and
our church, as the Catholics are, we
would have more young people interested
in our work than we do now
Tuesday afternoon devotional service
conducted by Mr.. Cummings. He is an
energetic young man, not an ordained
minister, but having charge Of small
country church, hoping to be ordained
soon.
Chrst's New Commandments in the
Home Life by Mr.. Brown. while he gave
some very good thoughts, one could hard
ly follow it in connection with the general
theme as he went so far from the sub
jet given him.
In the Social World by Rev. c. W..
Long, was fine. Mr.. Long is the one
who has taken Mr.. Bowers.place at STAN

FORMER DELAWARE Man KILLED

The following was taken from the
columns Of a newspaper published in
Medicine Lodge. Kansas. The de-
ceased formerly lived near Glendale.
Edward Price. a young man en-
gagged in farming with William Ken
ney, south of town, was kicked in the
stomach by a horse about 1 o'clock
Monday afternoon, receiving injuries
that resulted in his death about z
O'Clock Tuesday evening, July %.
HE was driving a lister when the
accident occurred and it is supposed
that in trying to fix something about
the lister he got within range of the
heels. He lay in the field for
some time and then attempted to
crawl to the house. Before reaching
the house he was noticed and assist
ance sent him. Medical aid was call
ed but his injuries We're beyond the
skill of surgeons.
Funeral service was conducted at
the Christian Church in this city at 8
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon by Rev.
NJ. b. Ingle and interment made in
Highland cemetery.
"Mr. Price has no known relatives
surviving him. He was born in Della
ware thirty-one years ago and was
raised by a cousin of William and r.
NJ. Smith of Elwood township. He
came to Barber county several years
ago and for a time made home with

He Praises the Movement TO

ALL LAWS MUST Be ENFORCED
Special to rhe Evening Journal.

Special to The Evening Journal.
Dover. Aug. 7.-Preaching upon the text:
"wilt thou lay down thy life for MY
sake?" the Rev. DR.. l.. f. Barrett, before
a congregation composed of all denomina-
tions, at Wesley NJ. e. Church yesterday
lauded the reform movement in Philadel-
phia and declared that its good effects
were being felt in Delaware and that an
indignant public sentiment had begun war
on Sabbath desecration and lawiessness at
the bayside resorts.
Il am glad" said the minister. that at
last people are being aroused 20 sustain
the law in Delaware. 1t is also exceedingly
gratifying that at least one newspaper
has demanded in no uncertain tones that
the movement to stop Sabbath dissertation
at these bayside resorts should proceed
until the dignity Of the law is upheld and
the lesson is taught to the rising genera
tion that obedience to the law at all times
and all places is demanded by the State.
Some newspapers say it is enforcement
Of blue laws. Now what difference is
there whether the laws are blue black
Of green, if they are there on the statute
books, and we have paid officials, sworn TO
enforce htem? Have not we. who try to
obey all the laws, the right TO demand
their strict enforcement?
"And why, ask for my own enllghten-
ment, should a law be enforced TO the let
ter in the town Of Dover and be openly
and dehantly violated just a little fur
ther east, on the bay shore7 And why.
pray tell me, should we allow a steam
boat TO tie up at one Of our wharves and
sell Intoxicating liquors. when we take
away the license Of a hotel keeper who
dares TO do III
why the people have a right to de-
mand that this thing be stopped and an
official who adopts a do-nothing policy
and either refuses TO enforce the law or
does not care to, should resign. Is he not
sworn and paid to enforce the laws as
they are on the statute books?
II the Law Is unpopular, that is all the
more reason why it should be enforced,
for President Grant once said: If there
is any way to have unpopular laws re-
pealed, the quickest way is 20 enforce
them. And has not Governor Folk pro-
gressed on what was called an impossible
task OF closing up brothels and gambling
dens and places for the violation Of the
law throughout Missouri by his brave de-
termination to enforce a law as It is writ.
ten Or bring about its repeal?
This is a decidedly important matter
to the Christian church. no matter how
lightly some newspapers or the authorities
may weigh IT, And once you have destroy.
ed or broken down the dignity Of tn,
Christian Sabbath, and then you hav,
delivered a death-blow to your Republican
institutions"
