CAPITOL GRAFT
Foundation Laid by Pr0seCu.
tiel in Pennsylvania
Scandal

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 3S.-The ap-
pearance of Stanford B. Lewis, the
active assistant of Architect James
NJ. Houston during the construction
and furnishing of the capitol, as
a witness for the commonwealth at
the trial of the capitol prosecutions
in the Dauphin county court today,
tends to confirm the rumor that Illus
ton has an understanding with the
commonwealth and will be ONE of its
witnesses. Lewis was called to iden-
fifty plans and specifications prepared
by Huston for furnishings of the cap
itol and also to explain the quaint
ty plan" upon which ordetrs were
given at various times Off furnish
ings. He was cross examined by P.
F. Rothermel of counsel for Sander
son, and was on the stand when
court adjourned for the day. Lewis
is under indictment on two charges
of conspiracy in connection with the
alleged capitol frauds.
Today's sessions of court were de-
voted by the commonwealth to lay
ing the foundation of it's case.
James Scarlet. in his address to the
jury, said the commonwealth expect
ed to prove that the defendants,
Contractor John H. Sanderson, for
mer Auditor General William P.
Snyder, former State Treasurer Will
liam L. Matues and James M. Shu-
maker, former superintendent of
grounds asd buildings, conspired to
cheat and defraud the state in the
payment of bills for capitol furnish
ings.
John E. Stott, former secretary of
the board of public grounds and
buildings, who was on the stand for
an hour under examination by. the
commonwealth, seemed reluctant to
identify certain plans and specifica-
lions prepared by Huston. He could
not recognize them as having been
seen by him before. These plans
were in possession of the board and
it appeared to the prosecution that
Stott, as its secretary, should have
had access to and been familiar with
them

Produced Results.
When John Hickey left rattle at a
house in West Caldwell, N. j., ON
christmas morning and started for his
thome lin Little Falls he carried slung
over his shoulder three turkeys and
flour geese which had fallen to his
fortune, says a West Caldwell special
dispatch to the New York Times. The
Others lat the rattle had asked him to
leave at least two of the fowls to be
sent to the homes of poor families, as
they had done, but Hickey grinned and
said his wife had good appetite.
Just before he departed the others
Jlapsed into ghost stories. So as he
walked down the overshadowed road
near the carpet mill his nerves were
mot so very steady. AS he reached the
.ueld mill, dam; and heard the drop. drop
of the water Hickey felt he was not
alone. He turned about quickly. AZ
he did so he felt: a touch on his arm
A white object stood close to him.
'"Give ito the lpoory' said a hollow
voice.
The object vanished. Hickey began
Ito run, but the white thing kept close
behind him-so close that it was able
to touch him several times.
"tGive to the lpoor?' repeated the
voice.

tumble tof fowls at the shape. 1t van.

Still the thing followed. Wheneyei
Hickey stopped the ghost would touch
him and then vanish, although Hickey
could mot have seen even white oh
ject very far off, the road lying be
meath trees that meet overhead. After
numberless efforts to shake off his pur.
suer Hickey stood.
'.5iVe to the poor" said the ghost
FOR I'll drive you to your grave"
Hickey threw all of the turkeys and
geese in the ghosts direction.
"Here. take the things" he said and
ran back to West caldwell, where his
adventures excited .mirth among those
still at the rattle.
When it was daylight Hickey went
home without discovering any solu-
ton. After he had been in his home
for some hours Mrs. Hickey found two
turkeys and three geese lying on the
rear veranda. Hickey explained to his
wife, who hadn't heard of the ghost.

THE DEATH ANGEL
AUGUSTUS q. FRIEDERITcE
4. FALLS HIS VICTIM

On the 2lst day of July 1908
there passed from Arcadia, Fla. to
the upper and better world the re-
markable man whose name heads
this article.
Mr.. Friederitce was born seventy
years ago (183S) in Germany.
Was educated and served an APP
premiership as jeweller in
Gottengen University seven years.
Most thoroughly did he under
stand his trade, which rose with
him to the dignity of a profession.
His proficiency in that work made
him living rebuke to all who try
to do anything without being pre-
pared for IT,
Coming from Germany to
New York he finally made his
home in Carol county, Mississippi
in 1883 and commenced his work as
a jeweller without means. But his
integrity started him well. He
had left the "Fatherland" because
he could not consent to the dull
and to him the meaningless idea Of
being a conscript in the German
army. This showed neither lack
|oi courage OF patriotism, for he
volunteered IN the 6fst company
zeieea ia Carol com1ty,
cUts>el and afterwards Genefa
George, afterwards a distinguished
senator from Mississippi, in the
United States. Mr.. Friederitce's
courage and accuracy as marks
man placed him in the responsible
place of sharp shooter, was
captured at Fl Donaldson and re-
ceived Mimic ball near his heart
in Franklin, Tennessee, which he
carried to his grave. There he
again became a prisoner. No
soldier had a better name for cour-
age and faithfulness.
After the war was over our hero
returned to his adopted home in
Carol county, in Shongalo, Miss.
with only fifty cents in worldly
goods, 1865, to set up again as
jeweler.
In May 1866 he won the hand
and heart of Miss S. Ellen Young.
Tho like himself, penniless, she
was a fortune within herself The
young pair innlsdiekelysSnoyed to
Meridian. Miss re there followed
his trade closely There they had
no stinted living but by she
economy Of his wife they &C
cumulated about $4,000.
Mr.. Friederitce was raised
Roman Catholic, but his peculiar
independence of thought made
that church not a congcnial
spiritual home for him, conse-
quently he became charter
member of the Presbyterian church
inlS66; He punctually paid his
subscription to his pastor and met
his part in church dues and
SECRETLY paid double his sub
scription to his pastor.
He came to Florida in 1888 and
invested most Of his little fortune

THE BIBLE WINES

GOOD AND BAD

Why should there not be good
wine and an evil wine. Most
things prominent have their CON
trasts-their good and evil. God
is the expression Of all goodness.
Infinitely perfect in his attributes.
AS contrast we have Satan, the
head of all evil, 1.-THE god of this
world its full embodiment of
evil-not infinite, else evil would
be indestructible. We have the
good spirit and the evil spirit.
The good angel and the evil angel.
A child Of God and one who is of
his father the DEVIL We have
the wife of whoredoms" Hosea liz
And the prudent wife from the
Lord. We have a home that is
heaven and one that is hell.
These contrasts could be greatly
extended. Then why not have a
good wine and an evil wine The

other a wine thai l,a moeler, =

How can we know that an in

wine stands condemned as not of

beverage alcohol is deleterious to
the race in all its being and inter
