General John A. Bingham was a
member Of the military tribunal that
tried Mrs. Surratt and the Lincoln as
sassination conspirators.
After the trial In the subsequent de-
bates in the house General B. b. But
Ter frequently charged that the com
mission had arrived at an unjust YER

woman. In a memorable debate he
boldly proclaimed that IL the contents
Of a diary which had been found on
the dead body Of j. Wilkes Booth were
ever made public it would disclose the
fact that 1t contained the proof OF
Mrs. Surratt's innocence, which proof
had been UNANIMOUSLY suppressed by the
commission. When General Bingham
made movement as though he would
repel such an accusation, Butler ORA.

MONSTER WHALES.


One, THAT Swallowed Whole Shark
Fifteen Feet Long.
Frank Z. Bullen. the noted writer Of
sea tales, In one OF his lectures said
that In New Zealand he once saw a
whale opened and there were found
81 its stomach number Of flsh which
must simply have swum down its
hroat, and among them was a shark
fteen feet long and nine feet round
Ehe huge Greenland whale was de-
scribed. Mr.. .Bullen asked his au-
diehce to imagine a monster of $50
tons and told how such one was
taken Aon a voyage in which he took
part enough whalebone being taken
out Of his head to pay good dividend
on the voyage. For six months In the
year this particular kind of whale.
which was the most helpless Of all.
led life OF alarums and excursions.
for he was always being chased.
A third kind Of whale, the, hump
backed whale. was shown in picture
jumping from the water, and Mr.. Bull
len explained that this was no indi-
cation Of Joy In life. They were, in
fact, If not driven out Of their minds.
certainly driven out Of the water by
parasites adhering to their bodies.
This particular whale was greatly de-
voted to its young, and II a man hap
pened to kill calf he needed all his
ingenuity to escape from the mother.
On one occasion fifty-two boats went
after whales In the bay Of California
and by accident calf was killed. In
one hour the parent destroyed fifty Of
the fifty-two boats, killing a number
Of men. and then sailed out to-. sea
without scratch.

Evening Schools.

Evening schools owe their existence
to the Rev. Thomas Charles, who about
1871 set up one at Bala, Wales, which
proved to be quite successful In 1889
or 1910 the English Bishop Kinds
strongly recommended such schools for
poor adults. who, on account Of en-
forced labor. had no chance to secure
an education. The idea was taken in
hand BY the British privy council in
1861. and from that date evening
schools began to be considered serious,

S. S. COURSE TO Be
GIVEN BY Y, N, c, A,
PROF. Ebert Russell Agreed
to Instruct Teachers
and Substitutes.

In order that more interest will be
taken by the Sunday school teachers
OF the city In their work the Young
Mems Christian association has ar
ranged with Prof. Ebert Russell, Earl
ham college, who IL recognized as one
Of the leading authorities ON religious
matters In the United States to con-
duct weekly classes at the association
building. The meetings will be held
on Friday evenings of each week,
commencing on Friday. October s.
The subjects Of the studies will be
the international Sunday school les
son which will be given on the Sunday
following the class meeting.
The body, which will include teach
ers and substitute teachers will be
strictly admission class, 81 being
charged for the course including twen-
'ty.six lectures and q nominal fee for
single admissions. The purpose in
charging a small amount Is two-fold,
but chiefly that more interest will be
taken In the work. Those promoting
the affair believe that more interest
will be taken In the work and closer
application paid to 1t when the teach
er's money .is invested, rather than II
the lectures were free. Not only will
the teachers be more apt to give the
work closer study, but their regular
attendance Ia assured.
All Sunday school officers and the
ministers OF the city strongly endorse
the school and believe that as q re-
suit of better preparation on the part
of the teachers, the Sunday schools
vii do much better work.
