Bull Durham, ex-Quaker and alleged
home run swatter, failed to show much
class Friday. Bull got nice clean
single. drew a base and died on two
easy chances. Durham just hates to
play here, he says, because the local
bugs will roast him for jumping to
Portland. Never mind, Bull, that has
been SO long ago that all of us have
nearly forgotten who you are.

touches in any way my fellow man.
Tell me that because / am a Chris
tian and a minister l am to remain
silent, never raising one single pro-
test or fighting one single fight for
the delivery of my fellows from the
bondage of certain political and
wretched conditions over which they
have no control, Nay my duty lies
along the humble path my Master
trod as He went blessing and COM
forting the common people. Your
work and mine, brethren, consists in
anything that pertains to the saliva
ton of men or the betterment of hui
man society"
Beginning with this definition of
our work, the preacher showed from
the Scriptures that the Spirit would
lead and direct US in it all if We
would only allow Him to do it. He
read scme verses from the 18th
chapter of the Acts, in which the
Spirit called for Barnabas and Saul
saying: Separate unto me Barnabas
and Saul for the work whereunto |
have called them" Here the Spirits
leadership is seen in three ways:
1. He led the church to see and
know that Barnabas and Saul were
the men for them to elect and sep
arate" for certain special work.
>. He led Barnabas and Saul to
see that it was His will for them to
undertake this special work
3. After they had followed His
direction and taken up the work to
which He had called them, He stood
by them and gave them success In
the midst of great difficulties.
Passing from this narrative, ne
turned back to the Sth chapter OF
the Acts. and took up another proof
text which dealt with the Spirits
work, both with Philip and the
Eunoch. He showed how that Philip
was preaching to great crowds and
VET how that when the Spirit called
tn him to leave the crowds and the
great opportunities that were there and
on down a road that led to desert,
that Philip did not hesitate for a
minute, but rose and went He was
conscious of the Spirits presence and
direction. And MT only did he lead

the line, directing the Eunoch also.
1t was clear ringing message, and
will be the means, we believe of lead
ing out some into the larger life.
At night, the subject was, Crowd
ing Out Jesus" 1t was a tender plea
for men and women not to shut their
hearts door in the face of the best
friend they ever had. The doctor
called attention to the fact that
Jesus was being crowded out of
many mems business because there
was no room for him. Other things
had the right of way. Not only this,
but He is crowded out of many
homes. No room and no time to give
to Jesus. Mothers can sit down and
instruct their daughters in the fash
ions of the day, but no time nor in
clination to talk of Jesus and His
love. Fathers find time to instruct
their boys in business, but no time to
instruct them in the Christian life
and how to live it. 'CrOwding him
out of our business, crowding him out
of our homes, crowding him out of
our hearts, and sometimes almost
crowding him out of our churches.
We sing songs in which he has been
crowded out. We chant and humble
prayers, in which he can hardly find
standing room. and sometimes men
actually pretend to preach sermons
in which there is next to nothing of
his love or spirit. God save us from
crowding out our best friends,
At the close of the service many
expressed a desire to live better lives
and five united with the church. The
meetings will continue through
Thursday night. Our city is becom-
ing aroused as never before, and the
business men are having more to say
on the subject of religion than at any
time in many years.
The singing of Miss GlOer is a
great feature of each service. No
one has yet sung in our city whose
modest retiring life seemed to give
such power to her gospel singing.
She sings with a tenderness rarely
heard in a female voice and every
body will be sorry when they are to
/ hear her no more.

MONDAY ANOTHER GREAT RELIGIOUS
DAY IN OUR CITY

Monday is most always an off day
in series of religious meetings, but
one could hardly note the difference
in the Broughton meetings, this city.
Dr. Broughton addressed a fine body
of men at the court house at $3.50
a. m, and then went to the church at
eleven o'clock. There was a splendid
audience present, and the doctor
gave another talk on The Spirit,
Life and What 1t Involves"
After beginning at the first and
hastily reviewing the personality and
work of the Spirit in life and exper-
fence, he took up another phase of
his mission, which was indeed in
teresting and helpful to many Chris
tians whose lives had not character
lied heretofore by the closest possible
relationship to God. He announced
as a heading for this special hour,
"The Holy Spirit Directing the Work
and the Worker" If ever a man
proved anything from the word OF
God, DIR. Broughton proved that the
Spirits business was to lead and
direct the individual Christian in
every walk and work of life, and that
the only reason why He did not al
ways exercise His power of leadership
and direction was that We would not
yield up ourselves to him.
In defining his subject, Dr. Brough-
ton took occasion to speak of the
scope of a Christians work In this
world. Said he, There are many
people-good people too, but mis-
guided and mistaken-who would
have you believe that all that can pos
sibly be meant by 1.-The work Is
found inside the organized work OF
the average congregation. In othei
words. the work of the individual

Orchard by slow steps through the

Bradley and his family in San Fran
cisco. In addition to series of par
ticular attacks of the credibility of
the witness and the general probable
ity of his stories and preparing the
way for their own testimony in re-
huttal, the defense sought to show
that Orchard had a mania for boast
ing of the commission of crimes, non-
existant, except in his own mind, and
that he is testifying under the con-
troll and suggestion of Detective Nc
Partland.

Defense's Plea.

The defense began today by MAX
ing it clear that as far as Orchard
knew, Haywood, Meyer and Pettibone
had nothing to do with the inspira-
ton, planning and execution of the
Vindieator explosion, and that Hay
wood and Meyer had nothing to do
with the planning of the murder of
Detective Gregory.
Passing on to the dynamiting Of
the Independence station, the first
crime with which the testimony of
Orchard directly connects Haywood,
Meyer and Pettibone, the defense
endeayored to show that Orchard III
springing the mine, had purposely
sought to spare the on-coming train
and the non-union men who were ex-
pected to entrain and that the plot was
engineered by agents of mine overs
and railway managers, who wanted
comparatively harmless outrage to in
jure the union miners who were on
strike.

END OF REMARKABLE STORY
Aged RecIuse Once Accused Of Murder
Dies Stunned by His
Neighbors.

| PORTLAND, March, 6.-Shunned
by society and pointed to with soon
by the very children on the streets be-
cause 40 years ago he was accused OF
a murder of which he was acquitted
by the confession of another on the
very day he was to hang, Luther Ver-
rill, a feeble recluse, 80 years of age,
once rich, died in the pOOrhOuse last
night. Verrills death is the climax
to one of the most remarkable stories
in Names criminal history.
1t was just 40 years ago-to be ex-
act, Jan. 10. 1867. That one wintry
morning, after a great storm that piled
the drifts high in the roads, in a lit
tie house that still stands on the west
Auburn road, the neighbors found the
mutilated body of Mrs. Susanah Kins
ley and Aunt Polly Caswell.
Arrest follow arrest. Two or three
men narrowly escaped being enmeshed
in circumstantial evidence. Finally
Clifton j. Harris, a negro and Luther
j. Verrll an Auburn man. and wealthy
shoe dealer. were arrested. Harris con-
fessed and implicated Verrill Harris
asserted that he met Verrill on the
road and Verrill told him they could
go and get money. He related the
awful details of the crime. They were
tried on June a. 1867, and the trial
lasted eight days. County Attorney F..
O. Bicknell and William P. Frye. then
attorney general, were the prosecuting
attorneys. The prisoner was declared
guilty of murder in the first degree.
Verrill was sentenced to be hanged.
The chaplain was in Verrilrs cell Civ
ing him the last words Of spiritual
comfort and the gallows was being
prepared when Harris, the negro,
overcome by remorse, confessed that
he alone murdered the two women.
Verrill, though a free man, never
recovered from the blow; he had lost
all his money, and no heart for bus
mess and made a poor living doing
odd Jobs He Stunned social inter-
course, and to his last day lived as
much like hermit as was possible
for a man who had to have some bust
ness relations with mis- fellow men.

They Hire Special Stenographer to
Report Their Side of the Case.
PENDLETON, March 6.-MOre than
100 Indians gathered in council at the
agency to lay in formal manner before
inspector Davis, the charges they have
to make against Agent Edwards. The
Indians We're slow in arriving, as usu-
al. and the council was not convened
until after dinner. Owing to the fact
that everything has to be carried on
by means of an interpreter, slow pro-
gress was made and it is probable
that the council will continue for sew
eral days.
Miss Edwards, sister of the agent, is
acting as official stenographer. while
c. ]. Ferguson, was taken out by the
Indians to act as their stenographer.
They have informed the inspector that
they would not talk unless they We're
permitted to have a reporter present
in whom they had confidence.
Ferguson returned to his home in
this city last evening. but when seen
by a reporter refused to say any
thing concerning what transpired at
the council yesterday afternoon and
as the Indians are uncommunicative,
nothing could be learned further than
that the long delay in the transfer of
the rental money from the renters to
the Indians, was the burden of their
complaint yesterday. 1t is understood
however, that they have many other
grievances to present and therefore
it is probable that several days will
be consumed by them.
Major Edwards was present at the
session yesterday afternoon and &C.
cupied a seat next to the inspector,
where he could confront each of his
accuSerS.

DISINFECT ORIENTAL RUGS
Dr.. RemIinger, Of Constntinoque, warn:
Against DANGERS.

PARIS, March 6.-Dr. Remlinger. the
director of the Pasteur Institute at
COnstantinOple. has just sent to the
Academy of Medicine a report showing
the danger that turks in tapestries and
carpets of Oriental origin bought by
cOllectioneers or amateurs.
According to the doctor, it is very
seldom that carpets especially are ever
sold new outside Persia and the region
of the Caucasus. AS a rule they have
been used for generations, as the faded
color of the texture is generally con-
sdered a proof of antiquity and of
course enhances the value of the carpet
in the European markets.
Besides. the doctor claims that the
process used in the Orient to make the
carpets fade, is anything but hygienic
and warns all European purchasers OF
Oriental goods of this description to
thoroughly disinfect their purchases
before using them in their homes.
