LYNOEING IN CUMBERLAND.

Warrants have been issued in Cumber-
land, Md, for the arrest of the riuglead-
ers of the mob which, after midnight Sat-
urdsy night, lynched William Burns, the
negro murderer of Pol cemau August
Baker.
Great indignation exists among law
abiding residents of Cumberland and of
the county because of the action of the
mob, which battered down the Jail door,
overpowered Deputy Sheriff Hedley snd
then broke the door OF the cell in which
Burns wss confined. He was half drag
ged and half carried TO the street, where
he was kicked and shot to death. Bull
lets instead of a rope served the purpose
OF the crowd.
The lawlessness of the mob is general
ly condemned. Several preachers In
Cumberland referred to it In their ser
mons yesterday, while among citizens
generally there is a feeling that the
good name of the city has suffered in
consequence of the lynching. Judge
Boyd is expected to refer to the outrage
in his charge to the grand jury today.

KING EDWARDS BIBLE.

Without ostentstion, and according 10
the ritual of The Episcopal Church, the
historic ceremony incident to the pre-
s,ntation of King Edward's Bible and
President Roosevelt's lectern to Bruton
Parish Church was held within that
historic old church at Williamsburg at
noon Saturday. As was stated in the
Gazette of that day. Bishop Satterlee,
Of Washington, presented the lectern,
which was received by Bishop Randolph,
OF Southern Virginia. The Lord Bishop
of London presented the Bible, which
was received by Bishop Tultle, OF Ms
souri,, the presiding bishop Of the Amer
lean church.
The Bishop of London deyiated from
the announced programme when he
sprung surprise on the assembled con-
gtegation by presenting to Bruton Church
beautiful prayer.book, the gift of Bru-
ton parish, in Somersetshire, England.
This gift, expressive of the close and
cordial relations binding the two Bruion
parishes, was not only complete and
delightful surprise, delivered at a happy
moment by the Bishop of London, bat
created universal ripple of pleasant
comment.
During the presentation of King Ed
wards Bible, Bishop Ingram said:
''In showing this mark Of loving in
terest in the welfare of the church, my
sovereign is only following out what
has been done by many of his predeces-
sors. Here aud there all over America,
certainly in those part settled previous
to 1900, are TO be found many COM
muniOns services, fonts, and lecterns
that were given by kings and queen of
my country.
"The act Of King Edward is not an
unusual one, aud l may add that it is
not an official one. am sure that King
Edward VII will never forget that at
the growing moment OF his life Bible,
such as this one, was presented to him
and he was told that il is the most vslu-
able gift that he can receive.
believe me, The king, my sovereign,
has the warmest desire for the welfare
Of the people Of America, and especially
tor the spiritual welfare of this and Of
all people. How appropriate is it that
gifts from the two great peacemakers Of
the world shoald here meet in this
hospitable place and remain here for
ever TO do their part toward the peace Of
the world.
"All England congratulates you of
America on the splendid act of Theodore
Roosevelt In taking the lead toward peace
between Russia and Japan, when they
were engaged in en- inhuman war. We
look upon King Edward ss a peace
maker. Could there be more appro-
PIRATE gifts from Tie two great peace
makers, who are at this moment at the
head Of the two great Euglish-speaking
nations"
Bishop Satterlee, in preventing the
lecleTn, said that President Roosevelt
sent his regrets at not being able to at
tend the ceremony in person. He said
that two things are dear to tho American |
heart the Bible and the Sabbath. Bis
bop Satterlee sketched the history Of the |
evolution Of the open Bible, touching on
the fist translati0ns and other interest
ing points.

As heretofore stated great stir was
caused in Winchester last week by the
appointment of special tax commits
sion to probe and investigate many re-
turns made under oath to the Commits
sioner of the Revenue OF that city by
wealthy residents. 1t is alleged that a
large number of rich men have made
false returns, and efforts are being made
to have a grand jury investigation. Toe
vice-president of the City Council de-
clares that the city tax rate could be
cut down 20 to 40 per cent if taxable
property was correctly turned in by the
taxpayers. The state of affairs that
exists in Winchester is similar to that
all over the State, country and world.
