With two pint bottles of gin confront
ing him as evidence. Noah Green, a one
armed negro, who is a well-known char
acter about town, was hailed in police
court this morning, charged with the
unlawful distribution of liquor on Sun
day.
From the testimony of Officers Reid,
Campbell, and Beach, who made the ar
rest, 1t seems that it has been the
negro's custom to walk about the city
on Sunday, his pockets filled with bot
ties of liquor, a human speak-easy.
Although he strenuously denied the
charge, Justice Cation thought other
wise, and imposed fine OF 500
The injuries received by Coleman
joyce, the soldier stationed at Esdall' S
Station, who was so badly hurt in a
fight on North Lee street Saturday
night, would not permit of his appear

THE FIRE DOL"
STARTS SMALL PANIC

The fool who screams fire. in the
hotel or theatre, got 0usy in the lobby
Of the New Harper at l O'Clock this
morning and before he was through
he had aroused several of the
guests of the hosiery. and precipitat
ed a small sized panic. There had
been a little blaze in the rear OF the
hotel. caused by some burning paper
near the kitchen. The fire department
had been summoned and quickly sub
dued the blaze and without commotion,
when the alarmist who was passing
along the street heard about it. he
Immediately ran into the lobby yelling
fire, at the top of his voice, and
fearing that he was not doing his full
duty, ran into the elevator, seized the
lever and lifted the car TO the top floor
yelling at the top of mis- voice at each
intermediate floor.
There was no occasion for alarm
whatever.

BULL KILLS I'M REVENGE

Who Had Beaten 1t a Year Ago.

Leadville, Col, Sept. S.-A year
ago Antoine Anderson, a miner, an
gered at a usually docile bull, for
which his wife was in the habit of
caring, gave the animal a beating
with a club. Last night, while his
wife was busy with other duties, An
derson undertook to lead the bull to
water, and it gored him to death.
Neighbors demanded that the animal
be killed. Mrs. Anderson protested
and to prove that the bull was or
dinarily gentle, she walked up to the
man killer" and rubbed it's nose
and stroked it's head. The beast did
not try to modest her.

INSTITUTE WILL
CLOSE TOMORROW
Nearly all the Teachers in the
County Have Attended the
Daily Sessions.
ALL GREATLY Benefited
Professor Wilcox Discussed Teaching
OF History This Morning-Miss
Bragg Tells Stories.

Tomorrow win mark the close Of the
most successful county teachers in
stitute ever held at the high school IN
this city. The registration includes
practically all the teachers in the coun-
ty who have found it possible to at
tend the sessions, and all Of them have
been greatly benefited by the lectures
which Professor Wilcox and Miss
Bragg have given twice each day
This morning the professor gave his
hearers some practical suggestions to
aid them in the teaching Of history.
He advised that the teacher attempt
to develop in the pupils a liking for
the story features of history and to
have them study it with that end in
view rather than as a mere learning of
dry facts.
INDUSTRIAL PROBLEMS.
In his address yesterday afternoon
Prof. Wilcox took up the subject of
the various industrial problems of the
country and spoke of methods to solve
them. He divided the country into
four classes, the very rich, those who
live comfortably, those that support
themselves through their own efforts
and the very poor. He said that the
first and last classes were increasing,
a thing which makes conditions worse.
GOVERNMENTAL CONTROL.
The speaker than took up the vari-
Gus remedies which have been suggest
ed, and pointed out their faults. He
said. Some people believe that an
archy is the only means of remedyirg
these conditions, but of course We
know that this is a fallacy. Social
ism has been suggested but as a gen
eral rule the socialists are not very
highly intellectual Of course there
are exceptions but l speak of socialists
as a whole. l believe for my own part
that the real way to eliminate these
wrong conditions is to place the con-
troll of the corporations in the hands
of the government"
TALKS ABOUT STORIES.
Miss Bragg took as her theme the
use of the story in the grades as a
means of teaching literature and bet
ter oral language and this morning
spoke on the same subject working it
cut in detail. Following is a list of

The influence of this great meeting was so inspiring that hun dreds Of men marched the streets with banners bearing appropriate notices. Nearly every convention has a favor ite song. The fayorite song at this convention was, The Little Brown Church in the Vale" and it was sung With an enthusiasm that would make any one want to come to the church In the wildwood or anywhere else where a church might be located.
 The town of Bradford. Iowa. has to do with the history of the song. The homes in this little village. as easter ners would call it. are of the New Eng land type and shelter a class of people who stand for moral, intellectual and religious development.
 In 1859 or 1860-or thereabouts- the good people of Bradford resolved to build church where they might worship God and teach their children the importance of Christian living and Christian service The times were close and the people were poor; but, being masters of circumstances and not their abiect slaves" they con- quered the hard times and their pov- srty by donations of stone. lumber. hardware, paint. and labor The Con gregational Church Building Society came forward with a generous dona- tion of money, and the little brown church was ready for dedication with out debt

HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN

About two months ago my hands started to crack open and bleed, the skin would scale off, and the good flesh would burn and itch dreadfully When my hands first started to get sore, there were small bIisters like wa ter blisters which formed. They itched dreadfully, it just seemed as though 1 could tear the skin ali off. l would scratch them and the skin would peel of, and the flesh would be all Ted and crack open and bleed It wor- ried me very much, as l had never had anything the matter wi,h ny skin. was so afraid would have to give up my employment.
 My doctor said he didn't think it would amount to anything. But it kept getting worse. One day l saw a piece in one of the papers about lady who had the same trouble with her hands. She had used Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment and was cured. 1 decided to try them, and my hands were all healed before I had used one cake of Cuti- cura Ointment. I am truly thankful for the good results from the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, for thanks to them l vas cured, and did not have to lose day from work. I have had no re- turn of the skin trouble" (Signed) Mrs. Mary E. Breig. 2522 Brown Street, Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 12, 1911.
