Real Life.


The signs of the times seem to indi,
cate that religion is on the wane; but
this is not the truth. We are all Just
as religious as we ever were; some of
us more. We could not live without reli-
gion any more than we could live with
out love. We all have souls. or, to
speak the exact truth. we all are souls,
and the real life or religion cannot be
separated from the real life of the soul.
When the soul feels the result is reli-
gion: though all souls may not feel in
the same way. Some souls are feeling
after God; other souls are feeling after
the spirit of things, but in each case
the real object is the same. We are
all trying to find that interior oneness
with infinite life, which we know will
bring peace; and however we may pro-
ceeu, we must admit that it is strictly
a religious process. We must also adj
nit that the more religious we are in
this higher, more sublime sense, the
more beautiful is life. And after all has
been said and done, what is it that we
all want? Nothing less than life-Real
Life-the most beautiful and the most
masterful life that we can possibly find
Eternal Progress.

HOTEL IS BURNED
 WITH HEAVY LOSS

Placid, N. Y, July 2.-In a fire en- tailing a financial loss of nearly $200000. the Hotel Ruisseaumont, one of the lar gest summer hotels at this resort, was. totally destroyed early today, the guests, awakened from their slumbers, narrowly escaping with their lives. The fire is supposed to have started in the tower of the hotel Albert Clapsaddle of Ilion, N. Y., one of the hotel employees, who slept beneath the tower in which the fire started, y-as almost overcome by the flames andf , badly burned about the head and face that he may die.
 Miss A. c. Quinlan, who only reached the hotel from New York last night, oc- cupied a room on the second floor. When awakened she found escape cut off by flames and smoke. From window she called for help. A rope carried to the floor below thence thrown up to the girl was the means of her rescue. A moment after reaching the ground the wall on that side of the building fell in.
 The Ruisseaumont was owned by tho Lake Placid Improvement company, of which W. Z. Larned of New York is president. It was built in 1853.

London Double Murder
 PuZZIi11g All England

London, July 2.-The murder of Lieut. Col. Sir William Hut Curzon Wyllie and Dr. Cawas Lalcaca of Shanghf, by Madar Lelof Dhingari, an Indian student. Thurs day night at the Imperial institute, has stirred England in a manner unknown since the Phoenix park murders. It has been a subject of f-oongratulation by Englishmen that Great Britain was i'm mune from political crimes of this nature. Great sympathy Is felt for Viscount Nor ley. secretary of state for India, the diff culties of whose position will be greatly increased by the murder
 Another consequence of the tragedy dis tasteful to Englishmen is that henceforth it will be necessary to afford police pro- lection to public men. It is understood that Scotland Yard already has detailed detectives to follow Lord Morley and others connected with the administration when they appear in public Newspapers of all shades of opinion urge the gov ernment not to swerve in yielding the ex- ecutive, and above all never to allow the extremists to suppose that Great Britain can be frightened by such murders into granting political concessions.
 Premier Asquith. speaking at South port tonight, expressed his deep sympa- thies for the relatives of Colonel Wyllie,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-07-03

and the countrys abhorrence of the crime committed upon distinguished officer of blameless character and one universally beloved. He saw startling evidence of the character of a conspiracy which hap oily was confined to a small number of people, but was desperate and determined in it's methods.
 Two documents were found on Madar Lelof Dhingari. One was q confession Of a desire to take the life of a high of ficial because he was dissatisfied with the British rule in India, and the other a sort of political creed referring to Eng lishmen as tyrants and having a sugges- ton of reward in heaven for any one get ting rid of prominent Britishers.
 According to statements made by per sons acquainted with him, the assassn's g family is we'll known and highly respect ed at Amr1tsar. in the PunJab where his father is a prosperous person and munich pal leader.
 One of these acquaintances makes the statement in the Chronicle that the as- sassin was drunk with bhang, an Indian intoxicant. He contends that Madar must have visited some extremist club before going to the Imperial institute, had his mind poisoned by a gang of conspirators to the point of committing murder and then was drugged with bhang and weap- ons placed in his pocket. This informant of the Chronicle Is sure there was a de- liberate plot, and unless the police take measures to root out the conspirators there will be further outrages of this kind committed.

PITIFUL STORY OF IRISH
 GIRL IS TOLD IN COURT

Chicago, July 2.-Ella Gingles took the witness stand in her own defense in Judge Brentano's courtroom here today, telling a story that aroused the fresh sympathy of the many women prominent in church and philanthropic work, who crowded into the room to hear her.
 The girl was taken in her examination step by step from the time of her birth in North Ireland. Is years ago, to the day when she was charged with the theft of lace from Miss Agnes Barrette at the Wellington hotel She declared that this charge against her was manufact- ured and when she left the stand her at torneys promised that tomorrow she would be allowed to 80 into all the de- tails of the attack upon her in the hotel, and how she was almost forced into a life of shame by the women who pre- tended to be her friends. Men for whom these women were acting would be named, it was stated.
 The young lacemaker came to Montreal

alone two years ago, she said. After working a few months in Canada she came to Chicago and rented little room iy a boarding house. She worked as a chambermaid during the day and at nigh mI.de lace.

OUTLOOK FOR COTTON IS
 EXCEEDINGLY BULLlSH

provement in general trade is reported from various sections of the country, while in the textile industry itself there Is no dearth of indications that trade Is likely to keep on expanding throughout the season, and that heavy yield of cot ton will be needed. The contention of the bull is that the yield Is certain to fall below the consumption, and acting on this belief they have bought heavily and per- sistently. There has been a steady de- mand for print cloths, and it is expected that the price of clothes will be advanced after the holidays. Spot markets at the south have advanced. The stock of raw cotton here has decreased materially, and it is reported freight room has been en- gagged for some 40,000 bales for shipment out of the local supply. Further rains have fallen in the eastern belt, and the reports from Texas do not show that boil weevil damage is increasing. As the crop in that state is admittedly two weeks late. it Is expected that the damage from weevil will be more extensive than was the case last season. Bears have been routed and bulls, flushed with recent suc- cess, are predicting much higher prices ul- timately.

 Action on Pasterate BETTER FIELD FOR WORK Commission Appointed To Try To Per suade pr. PIunket To Remain in
 Augusta Causes Surprise
 By Change of Vote.
BETTER FIELD FOR WORK

Augusta, July 2.-fspecial)-Th pres bytery of the Augusta district of the Presbyterian church met this afternoon and dissolved pastoral relations between Dr. J. T. Plunket and the congregation of the First Presbyterian church.
 Dr. Plunket will leave in about 10 days foH Birmingham, where he will take q Ee> of the South Highlands Presby- { A O church. The prescbytery was pre- = O. over by Rev. c. NJ Howerton of = S fordville, Ga. q. E. Guile of the ; o-eh Street Presbyterian church was 'ted clerk. Those present as members Q the presbytery and of the commission rom the First Presbyterian church were Rev. J. A Thompson, Rev. D. w. Bran non of MilledgeviIle Dr. G. A Wilcox, Hon. W. H. Fleming, Col T. L Hickman, B. F. Brown. H. A. Flfsch, c. W. Gee of Crawfordville, S. c. Adams and Mai. G. P. Butler
 As soon as the meeting was called to order Dr. Plunket was accorded the floor and gave his reason for leaving Augusta. the same reason as he gave when he nrst announced to his congregation that he was going to leave. He said that he felt that his usefulness was not as great here as 1t was some time ago. and that in new field he would do better work, both for the church and himself. He stated that he felt that 1t was purely a matter of duty that he was called to another field, and he hoped the presbytery would so consider It.
 After Dr. Plunket's statement outlin- ing his reasons for asking for the dissolu- tion of his pastoral connection with the First Presbyterian church, the spe- cial commission appointed in which to op- pose the dissolution were heard from Those who spoke were B. F. Brown. H. A. F'lisch, T. I. Hickman, w. H. Elem ing and Dr. Wilcox.
 Instead of there being a fight against the transfer, the commission spoke in the very highest terms of the motive which had inspired the action of Dr. Plunket and stated that 1t was far from them to oppose his wishes. They declared that they wished something could be done, hoy oyer, that could change pr. PlunAet,s .1s4s us to his use- fitness to the First Presbyterian for they felt that his usefulness was at It's zenith at present.
 The motion to dissolve the pastoral re- lations was made by Rev. D. w. Bran non. He said that he made the motion purely out of respect for the wishes of Dr. Plunket. He said that if pr. Plunket felt that he was needed elsewhere that the presbytery ought to let him go. The motion was seconded by Dr. Guile, but pr. Guile asked to be relieved from voting on the motion. The motion was put and unanimously carried by the pres bytery. Dr. Plunket then thanked those present for their aqtion and stated that while he was leaving Augusta he would continue to hold warm spot in his heart for the city. He will preach here only twice more before leaving for his new charge.

New York July 2-That cotton should have continued to advance is not at all surprising The developments of the week have been almost uniformly bullish, and to cap the climax the bureau report today proved to be sensational. It's figures were followed by a violent rise of about $3 a bale. The condition of TAG as stated by the government, is per cent below the condition at this time last year and 6.2 per cent under the average at this time for the past 10 years. The advocates or still higher prices contend that this report makes it as clear as anything possibly can that all ideas of a crop in excess or 100000 bales must be abandoned, and they take the ground that unless ideal conditions prevail during July and Au- gust the outcome is likely to be under, rather than over, those figures Howecer that may be, today's report apparently puts the ouietus on all attempts In the neighborhood of 12,500,000 bales, to say nothing of higher guesses.

Washington, July 2.-Charged with us- ing the United States mails for lottery purposes, propretors of three Chinese shops were arrested tonight. In each of the places a large amount of gam bling paraphernalia was found.
 The raid on the places were made by Postoffice Inspectors Keene and Barclay, assisted by about a dozen members of the local detective and police force. What ordinarily would have been local cpl sode gains importance from the fact that the raid represented an effort of the post office department to reach the center Of a widely ramifying Chinese lottery sys- tenn and gains interest from the recent death of Elsie Sgel in New York, which has drawn the eyes of the world to the usually obscure doings of Chinese in the United States. It was expected to be simultaneous with the similar activities in other cities. It was planned with the utmost secrecy and followed many days of careful detective work on the part5of the postoffice inspectors.

Newport, Monmouthshire. England, July At Is estimated that 20 men perished today by the sudden collapse of the west wall of the new lock at the entrance to the Alexandria dock.
 The extension of the dock work had been in progress for some time and oo men were working in trench 60 feet deep preparing for the laying of concrete foundation.
 Without the slightest warning the heavy snoring timbers gave way In the middle and the entire structure collapsed ana carried down with 1t thousands of tone of earth. the railway lines on both sides of the trench. many railway cars ana four travelling cranes.
 The men at the bottom of the trench which was 100 yards long and 30 feet wide, had no chance to escape, but many of those working nearer the surface were injured.
