 MT. Pulitzer got a place as coach- man. Through part of the cholera epi- demic in the sixties he was a grave digger. After becoming a reporter in 1870 he developed a keen interest in politics and in a few months entered the lists as a candidate He was elect ed toNt the Missouri legislature.

 None of you can ever forget, should you live to witness the coming of the millennium, the time you first came to know Jesus. The thrill of that moment Gbides with you always and Is ever re- curing to your momery with the advent of each new experience that lightens your path with the strength to live out the vows and pledges taken at that time.

R|CHESON CASE
 RESUMED TODAY

Boston, October o9.-Again today the Sunday worship at the 1mmanuel Bap- tist church, Cambridge. was directed by supply minister while the pastor the Rev Clarence VT. Richeson was confined in jail accused of the mur- der of his one time sweetheart, AVIS Linnell. There was no word or allu- sion during the service to the situa- tion of the pastor. MT. Richeson re- ceived no visitors at the jail. Consid- eration of evidence against the clergy man will be resumed tomorrow by the special grand jury. District Attorney Pelletier will have waiting to testify several witnesses from whom he hopes 10 develop testimony which will clear up the uncertainty as to whether Mir Richeson and Miss Linnell were to- gether the afternoon of her death.
 In this connection some importance is attached to the visits to the jail of three young women believed to be waitresses employed in restaurant where Miss Linnell is said to have told a friend she had been with the min ster. The result of the young wom- >n's attempted Identification was not disclosed
 It is understood the Boston police are working on the report that Mir. Riche- son in returning to Mrs Frank Car ter, his landlady, bowl which he had borrowed from her to mix a paste of flour and water to use for book binding, said: Be sure to wash the bowl out N ell, because there has been poison in It."

FRED MOORE CITES
 AN IMPOSITION
The Electric Light Company Makes Charge for Equipment to
 New Residences

Fred G. Moore. prominent attorney of this city, will perhaps appeal to the commissioners to take up with the Birmingham Railway, flight and Power company the matter of charges made by that company for new line co1- struction for completed residences.
 MT. Moore says: When new house Is erected in this city and light serv- ice is wanted the company requires the owner to pay for poles, wire and all necessary equipment to get that serv- ice to his house If the property Is certain distance from the company line.
 T can see where that would be proper provided the company would refund to the original owner the price of that construction when the property Is built up and the same poles, wires and service are used to supply adjacent property. I have known the original property owner to pay as high as $50 for such service In few months otk- CT houses are built next to him. the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company uses the line for its service and makes a huge return thereupon. In my opinion the retention of the or ignal money is manifestly unfair when the result is as l have indicated"

CRAZY CONDUCTOR
 COMMITS BE CRIME
Kills Himself and Father-in- Law, Wounds Wife and
 MOther-in-Law

Parkersburg, w. Va, October 29.-1ar- rol L. James, d railroad conductor of this city, shot and killed his father-in-law, William Pritchard, probably fatally wounded his mother-in-law; slightly in- jured his wife, and then committed sui eide today at Pennsboro, W. Va, Ritchie county.
 James broke into the Pritchard homs and caught his victims while they slept He made no effort to harm his four-year- old daughter, who occupied the bed with her mother and grandmother.
 The tragedy followed a series of sen- sational occurrences here about six weeks ago when James shot Seymour Kuhn of Fairmount, W. Va, fellow railroad man, whom he alleged he had found with his wife at the James home.
 Kuhn's injury was slight. James brought suit for divorce and Mrs. James brought counter suit
 During the taking dispositions in she suits last Monday Mrs. James gave evil dence which resulted in the arrest two days later of her husband and George Mitter of Grafton, w. Va, an express messenger, on the charge of conspiracy to the defraud the United States Express company.
 James was to have received a prelimi- nary hearing next Tuesday on the con- spiracy charge. It is said that he wor- ried greatly over the matter and was much embittered against his wife and her family. It is alleged that he threatened that he would kill the whole Pritchard family and the shooting was an apparenr effort to fulfill his threat.
 James quietly forced his way ipto the Pritchard home at Pennsboro at oclocR this morning. Going to the second floor he entered the room occupied by his wife, young daughter and mother-in-law. With out words ensuing he began firing. The Pritchard in the arm and one hit Mrs. James in the hip. He went into the next room and found his father-in-liaw rising. He fired directly into MT. Pritchard' s face, killing him instantly. Returning to the other room James shot his mother-in- law twice more, the bullets lodging in her left foot and right arm. James then went in pursuit of his wife. An open rear door indicated the direction she had taken and he came upon her a short distance from the house. He had two revolvers and pulled the triggers of each in an attempt to kill her. The cylin- ders were empty. Placing the revolvers in his pocket he choked her. AS the woman sank to the ground her young child holding on to her skirts and crying, James beat and kicked her artl fled then, only at the approach of q reighbor who heard the child's screams. James ran back to the Pritchard home reloaded one of the revolvers and killed himself

WAR AEROPLANES
 VERY VALUABLE

Rome, October 29-Reports from Tripoli describe the great value of the aeroplane in the war. By their reconnaissance it has been possible to learn several hours Tn advance the movements, the strength and some times the efficiency of the enemy. In this way the Italian commander has been able to distribute his troops In such a manner as to make almost cer- tain the repulse of an attack from any direction whatever.
 Military critics here are of the opin- ion that when a signalling system from the aeroplane has been perfected the real direction of engagements will de- volve upon officers in these machines
 According to further official reports the Turks have resorted to all meth ods- of opposing the invaders, includ- ing the poisoning of wells. This has failed of its object, however, as in com pliance with the orders of General Ca nevo nobody is allowed to touch water without it first having been scientifi- cully examined.

that eventually he would appoint not one but several American cardinals
 The Rome, the organ of English speaking Catholics, commenting on tho consistory, says: "The United States will have greater reasons than other
 countries for gladness as it assumes finally in the senate of the universal church that important place to which it is entitled by the reason of the won-
 derful expansion of the Catholic church
 within it's limits"
 In speaking of the coming appoint
 ments, Vincino vannulelli, cardinal said that he would have desired the appointment of even greater num- Der of American cardinals than thrca in order to give representation to the
 west But" he concluded, this will
 be for another time" The Tribuna, commenting on the an nouncement, points out the preponder-
 ance of American cardinals as com pared with Canada, which is still with out red hat and with Latin America with only one cardinal, Caval Can't of
 Brazl.
 Fro add solemnity to the honor con-
 fcrred upon America the Pope instead of having the new cardinals come hero
 for the consistory in November will
 send them the red biretta by special delegations. each composed of mon- signor among the papal and private chamberlains, accompanied by noble guard. -s.u
 The new cardinals later will come to
 Rome to receive the red hat from the hands of the Pope in a consistory to be held early in 1912.
 The appointment O. Monsignor ITal- conio will render the apostolic dele
 ga tion at Washington vacant and this already has resulted in much discur-
 sion regarding Monsignor Falconio's successor. Those mentioned as most likely to receive the important appoint
 inent include Monsgnor Stagni, apos tolic delegate to Canada. who is well acquainted with the United States where he resided for time; Monsignor Aguis, papal delegate of the Philip plnes, where he proved his sympathy for the United States in cooperation
 with the American officials, and Mon signor Aversa, envoy extraordinary to Cuba, who through long residence in Cuba and Porto Rico. has come into l frequent contact with America al d American people.
