REV. MADISON C. PETERS, former
pastor of the Seventh Baptist Church,
Baltimore. has declared that he will
leave the church because he finds in it a
lack of brotherhood, charity, sympathy
aud kindness, and declares that tho
churches are run by few rs their private
club The reverend gentleman says:
have been % years in the ministry,
aud regret TO say il. but il ia my honest
conviction that there is more real brother
hood in the lodges than you find in the
churches, and that there is infinitely
moro charity, sympathy and kindness in
those outside of the church than you will
find in Mr.. Lordly and Milsdy and their
colerie who are running the churches as
nrlgate clubs. Because ! gsut to do
GOOD to all the people can, in all the
Tays / can, appreciating, as ! do, the
Sareeness of Christ's mission, ] have de.
,ermined, beginning with the first Sun
day in January, to take The Majestic
Yheater and DO the Lords work outside
OF the church, where can work not rs
an apostle TO the 'genteels, but az a
man for the interests of ali the people,
regardless Of race or creed, and where !
can preach Christ AMI him crucihed
rather than Dives and him sanctied.

Gillette Turning to Religion.

Herkimer, n. y, Nov. 90. Tortured
By visions of the death chair, Chester
Gillette, whose trial for the murder of
Grace Brown today nears its close, has
turned to religion.
Once a Sunday school teacher and
devout church member, Chester Gillette
forgot religion 10 his mad infatuations
which he encouraged in Cortland while
Grace Brown Was still writing him
pleading letters to come TO her. since
the visit of his pastor Gillette spends
much time in religious devotions. He
is not permitted to attend church SER
vices in the Herkimer Jail, but sits in
his cell reading the Bible
The night guard in the corridors say
he ia much on his knees in prayer Each
evening he reads Scriptures just before
the lights are extinguished at nine
o'clock.
Gillette il said to have borrowed the
tennis racket with which the prosecution
alleges he beat to death Grace Brown,
from new found sweetheart in Cort-
land. Gillette became enamored of this
young girl, whom Grace Brown regarded
as rival, and just before be started on
the Inflated Adirondack trip he Dor
rowed the tennis racket from his new
love, telling her that he wanted TO play
@ little tennis while away.
Should the jury find Gillette guilty he
may escape the electric chair on legal
technicality. When District Attorney
Ward presented his case to the jury he
said that Gillette thought no eye
saw, but there was an eye upon him,
and there was also one near him who
heard the death cry of Grace Brown re-
sounding over the waters.
Former District Attorney Steele said
today that since no eye witness had been
produced Mr.. Ward little lapse might
cost him the case if it wss appealed TO
the Court of Appeals.
DR.. A. o. Douglass, of Little Falls,
one of the physicians who performed an
autopsy on the dead girl, was the princi-
pal witness today DR.. Douglass said
the girls lips were swollen and there
were abrssions on them. An upper tooth
was loose There WAS q discoloration
under the left eye and an abrasion on
the scalp three inches over the left ear.
DR.. Douglass said the scalp WAS removed
and there were ruptured blood vessels
beneath the skin The blood vessels Of
the priosloum covering the skull were
also Tuplured. The nOsifils were filed
with blood. Il is therefore believed that
Grace Brown died from conclusion of
the brain AMI blows on the head before
immersion in the lake and If she died
after immersion the efforts at respiration
were so feeble that the symptoms OF
drowning we're completely lacking.

by vigorous applause when ex-President
Grover Cleveland administered a rebnke

Every thoughtful man who loves his

who follow party leadership after 1t mas

This is patriotic advice, and in fancy
carries Gpe back TO the days when "none
