There is needed ST.. So by mid
night of April 30th. Can it be done
in Richmond: 1t has been done IN
cities of smaller size and less wealth.
Will it be done? Sure.
If the citizens of Richmond could
have looked in on the young men at
their lunch Friday night in prepara-
ton for the house to house canvass.
and noted the enthusiasm and determi-
nation and the anxiety on this crowd
of splendid young men for the Young
Mems Christian association, the people
of the city no doubt would respond to
this lasI earnest appeal in hearty
and generous manner.
This house to house canvass is to be
run exclusively under the management
of the young mems committee and is
made necessary because of the fact
that a great many people have ex-
pressed a Willingness TO contribute to
this work who could not be seen 9th

work in this canvass. These young

eral court here today argument was
heard by Judge Anderson in the suit
in equity filed to test the constitution
ality of the 2-cent-fare law enacted by

Worn Litigation Will Come
To an End at an Early
Date.
TESTIMONY CONCLUDED
LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
There Is Direct Variance in the
Evidence, the County's Wit
nesseS Maintaining That
Lacey Has Mo Real Claim.

Testimony in the case of NJ. NJ.
Lacey against Wayne county was con-
cluded late Friday afternoon in the
Randolph circuit court at Winchester
The case had been in hearing since
Thursday morning. No decision in the
case mas yet been rendered by Judge
Macy. Attorneys J. f. Robbins and
I. J. STUDY for the county and Attor-
ney W. A. Bond for Major Lacey will
submit briefs and special findings to
the court, who Will hear oral argu
sire.
Lacey's Testimony.
Major Lacey on the witness stand
testified that he had entered into
contract with the county April II,
1897, TO search for omitted and con-
cealed property outside Wayne county
and to place the same on the tax du-
plicate. He stated that through friends
in Cincinnati and Chicago he learned
that the late James l.. Morrison held
$4,000 worth of stock in the Norris
son, Plummer Drug Company of Chi
cago. He stated that he prepared this
information and submitted it to Alon-
20 Marshall, then auditor of the
county. who refused to accept it, stat
ing that the matter would be investi-
gated by the board of review
Appealed to State Board.
Major Lacey stated that the board
of review and other county officers re-
fused to accept his information cor
corning the Morrison stock and that
the case was then appealed to the
state tax board who ordered the tax
placed on the duplicate. Judge Fox
annuled this order, according TO the
witness, and when suit was brought
by Samuel Dickinson to cancel Major
Lacey's contract with the county,
Judge Fox ruled that the contract was
forfeited. Major Lacey then stated
that he appealed Judge Fox's ruling 10
the supreme court and that it reversed
the ruling of Judge Fox
Substance of Defense.
Witnesses for the defense testified
that Major Lacey secured all his infor-
nation concerning the MORRISON case
in the Offices at the Wayne county
court house, notwithstanding the fact
that his contract specifically stated he
should secure all information outside
the county. The tax on the Morrison
stock was afterwards placed on the
tax duplicate and Major Lacey claims
that he is entitled to s4,2Ie96 as his
share for securing the information.

fling. followed by crash which ar
rested Toms steps. Spurs then jingled
out of the scullery by an outer door,
and In the inner one stood fine young
woman, with black hair disheveled,
and broken piece of crockery In ell
Their hand.
AN me to pay for ftp Tom had
heard her mutter, but In the doorway
she stood without q word, her steel
gray eyes upon him till he colored,
when she flung the broken pieces on
the dresser and clapped her hands.

and make frinds wild the cook. It's

me yours and all yer histh'ry, while

So he told her his name, but nothing
more, and she looked at him closely as
she laid the cloth. "Sure, It's special
he is! she murmured. "Poor man. /
might have seen 1t wild half an eye"
And she sighed and clicked her tongue
as she put meat and bread upon the
board; then looked at him wistfully and
long with her clear, bright eyes, for he
had rested his elbows on the table and
had hidden his face. touched to the
heart by the womanly kindness of her
voice. He had heard nothing like 1t
since that fatal night In April, now
eight long months ago, nor. when he
looked up, had he seen anything from
that night to this like the womanly
compassion in those Irish eyes.
She cut him some mutton and slice
of bread. She put the knife and fork
In his hands, but he made no use OF
them.
"Ah, now. pluck up!' she coaxed.
"Pluck up an ate"
He made an effort, but could not fin

as he pushed back his chair. TITS the

With that he rose to go, but she got

let Tom alone and to bide his own
time for revenge. for, besides being
privy to the sons Irregularities and
dangerously established In the fathers
favor, the new groom had indeed done
Mr.. Nat an injury of which he himself
was all unconscious. Days grew into
weeks meanwhile. the old year burnt
into the new, and one week day was
still much like another on this primi-
tive Australian farm. When the third
bell rang at sunrise, every hut dis
gorged its surcharge Of convicts, and
Ginger called them over like SO many
schoolboys in front Of the palisade.
Then the shepherds to the pastures,
the plowmen to the arabic land, the
bullock drivers to their teams, and
Tom to his stables. for, the livelong
!. day.. Such as gould come were sum-
moned to breakfast at 8 and to dinner
at by the great bell changing in its
eucalyptian belfry, and all hands were
recalled by it between 8 and 8 at night.
Sunday was nominal day Of rest
which included two long compulsory
services In the courtyard beneath a
savage sun. DR.. Sullivan read the
prayers with the voice of an execu-
toner, his bamboo cane on the desk
in front \of him for use as baton
or as an instrument Of correction for
the man who dared to smile or to
whisper within his reach. The terrible
old man would also take this weekly
opportunity Of animadverting on the
lost souls and abandoned character OF
his convicts In general, with particular
illusions to those whose enOrmities had
earned them the lash during the pre-
ceding week. He never failed to as
sure future offenders that they would
be punished without mercy In their
turn and would slash the desk with
his cane to emphasize his words. SO
religion and ferocity ran hand in hand
at Castle Sullivan, nor was hypocrisy
very far behind. Mr.. Nat led the
hymns In devout, sustained. stem
torian below, while maiden sister,
the only lady of the establishment,
whose voice the convicts never heard
and whose face they seldom saw but
on these occasions, supplied a per-
functory accompaniment on the plano
forte.

It's the old cove I was thinking or"
"What old cover
"Dr. Sullivan, this ones father"
He had father, then? Mr.. Nat had
never mentioned him. And the old
man was worse to do with than the
son?
Tom put these questions to himself
and then another to his friend the bar
man, after shortly telling the latter
about the behavior of the iron gang.
"Why was all that?" said Tom.
"Why? Because half them crawlers
have worked for the Sullivans in their
time. They get you fogged and hog
ged and logged till all the works Dog

months in the crawlers, and like as

Because the -eoves have got the
pluck. That's their secret They don't
know what fear is. So there's seventy
strong men up there and over a hun

boiling afraid of them two!"
Tom said no more; neither did he
have much to say to Mr.. Nat next day
In their saddles. Neither. did Mr.. Nat
have anything at all to say to him
before nightfall, so severe had been
his latest "touch of the sum- but to-

as the moon was rising in q velvet sky
lights also broke upon them through
some trees. Dogs innumerable began
to bark, and as young Sullivan stopped
to open gate he pointed across 1t to
the lights and said that there was
Castle Sullivan at last.
"And bark you here" he added saw
agely,- selling Toms bride on the

trait was now left behind upon the
neutral ground that they had trayersed
together, "hark you to this and recoi-

on the way, and you've the markings
of a decent groom, but you won't find
me as easy up here as I could afford

He glared at Erickson, then let the
bride go without finishing his threat,
and without another syllable they rode
through the trees toward the lights.

With this DR.. Sullivan shook his cane
In the-new groom's face and called his

to which Tom did not listen. He was
more interested In lighted door on

threshold of what he conceived to be

now father aud son went indoors arm

man with flaming whiskers, and Tom

: So he followed the fiery whiskers to

little distance beyond the house, and
here Tom was SO smart in unsaddling
and so quick to find chaff bin and oat
sack and saddle room that his surly
companion was moved to rude I'd
vances.

"Been a groom before?"
"Only since we left Sydney"
swell, you're in luck too. The groom
here has room to himself next the
saddle room. Come and I'll show 1t
you."
The room in question was very small
and squalid, with a fixed bunk and a
foul paillasse, but Tom thought 1t
would be delightful with nice clean
straw, and to be alone ut nights was
to compass an unexpected and I'M
speakable luxury. Ginger whiskers
pointed out the other convicts' quarters
on their way back to the house. They
were the slab huts opposite the pail

small. That was the overseer's hut

CHRIST, HIS
CHURCH---LABOR
The Reverend Charles Steltzle the
Union Labor Minister Writes
Entertainly on Subject.

Whether or not Christ would
join a labor union. were he on
earth today, has been very posi-
lively decided by others. Curious
ly enough, the argument some
times employed by those who say
that he would not do so, is one of
the best arguments as to why the
average workingman should be-
come Unidentified with the church
of today.
1t is said by these opponents of
trades unionism that Christ would
have nothing to do with it, be-
cause there is in organized labor
so much corruption and lawless-
ness. Taking for granted for the
sake of argument-that there is
much in organized labor that is de,
plorable, it is interesting to note
how Christ regarded the church
organization of his day with which
he was identified.
It was a time honored organi
