whether or not certain prohibited
beverages were kept in an Ice box In
the defendants place Of business. Jim
Jones, another colored brother. was
introduced as a witness for the de-
PENDANT, and swore positively that no
prohibited beverages were kept in the
box that day; that he was in tho
place all the morning. On cross ex-
animation, the city attorney asked II
h ice box was open when he entered
the place. or was opened In his pres
ence. Jim promptly replied In the
negative. lie was then asked II
he had been inside the box at any
time that particular day, and replied
that he had not. The city attorney
then asked the all-important question
OF how he knew there were no pro-
hibited liquors in the box at that
time" After considerable delibera
ton and a mute appeal to the do
PENDANTS attorney, which was very
marked, jim replied: "Fo' Cord, boss,

Th,atre Sunday Afternoon.

A free lecture has been specially
arranged for by the International

liyered Sunday afternoon in Proctor's
theatre. The topic to be discussed is:
THE Divine Plan" No one Of rea-
sonable mind will question for a
moment the vital interest which we
may all properly attach to the sub
tect. Though a great deal has been
said and written by teachers Of the
past, yet many are still dissatisfied
with the conclusions reached, and
are looking for a still further rolling
away Of the mists that becloud the
Great Beyond"
E. w. Brenneissen, the noted Bible
lecturer of New York, Is promised as
the speaker OF the occasion. He is a
mar of wide investigation, a deep
reasoner and gives evidence that he
Is IN every way master of whatever
theme he is discussing, and has lee
tured extensively on the above and
other Biblical topics. He has no
theory o speculation of his own to
advance, but reasons from the scrip
lures and from the facts of lift, and
offers a satisfactory foundation for
every view advanced.
The lectures delivered by Mr..
Brenneissen are entirely free, no
collections are taken, nor any admit
lance fee charged; all expenses being
met by the International Bible Stu
dents Association, who are now car
rYjng on g special evangelistic work
