But the desire for more means with
which to do good entered the soul OF
the preacher. and he concluded TO fit
out another trading expedition. From
this his wife in vain endeavored to dis
suade him.
"Why, Mrs. Dyson, do you object TO
your husbands making money! said
her neighbors. I'VE all rejoice in the
success Of such a good man, and he is
sure to be liberal with us according TO
his success"

PRESBYTERIANS REFUSED
ROEBLING'S ESTATE

AsHEVILLE, N. c.. Jan. 9-The
Presbyterians have declined to accent
Beauxchenes, the country estate of
John A. Roebling. son Of Col. WASH
ington Roebling of Brooklyn Bridge
fame, who offered his property TO the
Home Mission Board Of the Presbyter-
ian Church because Asheville went
dry.
The board did not see how il could
consistently accept Mr.. Roebling's gift
when he was prompted by his stand
against prohibition.
Mr.. Roebling has always been a
stanch Presbyterian. When his own
church refused his estate he offered it
to the Episcopal Church, his wife's
church, and it has been accepted on
behalf OF the Episcopal board by
Bishop Horner of North Carolina and
other prominent clergymen.
Mr. Roebling's estate is one of the
finest private estates in Asheville and
adjoins the famous Bntmore estate OF
George w Vanderbilt.
The Episcopalians will establish a
girls school on the property.

BY THE JOURNALS Special wire.


NEW York. Jan. 9-The close of the
morning session Of the trial again
found the jury box with twelve oc-
cupants, the third time since the open
ing on Monday.
Both sides were extremely anxious
to make good progress to-day and the
examination of talesmen was pushed
vacant chairs in the box being taken
from 2S examined. Only one peremp-
tory challenge, that of Harry c.
Adams, who knew White through busi-
ness associations was required of the
defense.
Both sides are very anxious to COM
plete the jury by tomorrow night, I'm
order that a Saturday session may be
avoided. They want the time between
Saturday and Monday to prepare their
case and examine witnesses.
Attorney O'Reilly stated at noon
that he had not yet made up his mind
whether he will cite Edna Goodrich
before Justice Bowling for contempt in
the tearing up of subpoena as she
emerged from the theatre last night.
Miss Goodrich has denied the accu-
sation that she introduced White 20
Evelyn Nesbit, and the defense be-
lieves she would prove a good witness
for the defense and intend to force her
TO testify.

salary was paid regularly by Mrs. Dy-
son was holding up to the congrega-
ton the example Of their beloved alb
sent pastor, expatiating on his virtues,
lauding especially the freedom with
which he gave of the proceeds Of his
hard earned ventures on the stormy
sea. AS he was pronouncing the words
'thls noble servant Of the Lord" his
eyes, through an open window, caught
sight Of a United States man-of-war
coming into the harbor. The arrival
of a ship at any time was exciting to
the population Of the little town, and
the clergyman had the good sense to
bring the services TO q speedy close.
The congregation poured down to the
beach and watched a boat pulling for
the shore from the cruiser, which had
dropped her anchor.
When the boat struck the sand a
man sitting in the stern was directed
by the officer In command TO arise and
go ashore. There was a white, lean,
hungry look on the mans face and
great furrows in his cheeks. No one
remembered having ever seen him be
fore, and no one wished 10 remember
having seen him since he was in irons.
Suddenly some one in the crowd as the
prisoner was stepping on TO the beach
exclaimed:
"Great heavenl It's Dysonr'
This was the story told Of Dyson's
fall: In those days Of the buccaneers
men-of-war In order to inveigle pirates
would mask their guns and assume a
traders appearance. The cruiser one
morning when thus disguised saw a
schooner coming for her, which when
within range raised the skull and cross
bones and at the same time opened
her ports, displaying n broadside Of
half dozen ugly looking bulldogs"
She had come TO take the merchant
man. At the same time the masks
fell from the cruisers guns. The pi-
rate flag was pulled down and crew
sent aboard her from the cruiser. Ev-
cry man on deck was hanged. The
captain was missing. and the jnckies,
hunting below, found him In the hold
covered with gunny bags. They brought
him on deck, and he was Dyson.
The man was well beloved by his
people, and buccaneering was at the
time regarded by them as simply a
questionable kind OF merchandising.
With one accord they pleaded for Dy-
sons life, which was granted under
promise that he would in future stick
to his preaching and let piracy alone.

The scene OF the following remarka-

mahogany and other fancy woods.
There's profit both ways"
But you are doing so much good in
the Lords work. 1t would be a pity to
spoil good preacher to make an indif-

The man bent over his plate and said
nothing. Two months later he had the
woman's money that she had been saw
ing for years and had converted It into
a ship 1t was remarked that the
cargo was very light, but Dyson-that
was the name Of the preacher-mer-
chant-said that the principal profit
was in what he would bring back. The
day he sailed away his hacker, Nancy
Jenico, promised that when he return
ed and sold out, with 200 or 300 per
cent profit, she would marry him and
they would together set up a first class
tavern. At his departure the beach
was covered by the people whom he
had led TO a pure. virtuous life and
who now prayed that the good man
might be spared from the treacherous
deep to come back TO them to continue
his pious ministrations.

Nome industrial worker., 1908-03-20

The directors of the Commercial bank of Meadpille had two great dis turbing matters to consider at the special meeting. One of the serious things before them was the robbery of the bank of Sl5, ,00O during the noon hour by some bold and clever thief. 1t seems that the cashiers habit was to close the bank at 12 o'clock and to turn the combination of the time lock but slightly. In this way at the close of his nasty lunch he could return to the bank and open, the vault without waiting for the hour of one. Evi dently this habit had been noticed by some busybody who had passed the word along until it reached the rob- Der. The news quickly circulated through the city. There was danger of run on the bank in the morning. Besides this unfortunate event the other source of worry was the fact that cash was at low ebb every where. so that the problem of replac- ing the stolen funds was serious one. There were plenty of well se- cured notes and bonds III the vaults of the bank to insure the solvency of the institution, and while sthe rob- bery would have been severely felt in times of easy money, it would have been easily remediable by using coi laterals to raise cash, but now con ditions were such that it looked like the finishing stroke.

The Robbery of
 Meadville Bank

Wilmot, had some business connec tions with Amos Wilmerdon of New York and he wired Amos for help, stating explicitly the predicament of the bank. The enigmatical reply was now being considered by the directors. It read as follows:
 'New York, Nov. l, 1907.
 "Have sent Lawrence Rawlins to take charge. AMOS WILMERDON. ;
 They looked up this name in their directories, but could find nothing except in one of the commercial re porters the Lawrence Rawlins Detec tive agency was rated at s, 1000, O0O They rather concluded from this that they were to be favored with a visi from the head of the detective trus himself. Wllmot exclaimed:
 cts all very we'll for him to send ; defective, but what we want now i cash. If he couldn't send us tha there was no use of going to tn trouble and expense of saddling on t. our backs d sleuth who will force u to throw good money after bad. have no expectation whatever of cap turing the robber. He did too smoot job.'
 So they waited in gloom the arrive of the late train, which was to brin in Lawrence Rawlins. At II 80 p. 1T a hack drew up in front of the sid entrance of the bank and tall ma in Scotch cap stepped out. Il hung his long checked ulster over h
