SAID MOSES
 HAD BLUES
One of Many Sayings of Presby- terian Minister on Trial For Heresy
SAYS EVE WASN'T TEMPTED
Also Declares Ananias Died of Heart Failure, and Not By Act
 of God

Atlantic City, N. J., May 23.-At the Presbyterian assembly here Rev. Francis Irwin of Louisville, Ky, made a speech in support of reso- lution to raise $6.000,000 fund so that every superannuated minister can re- ceive $500 a year and every widow at least $500. The resolution calling for the raising of the $6,00O,0OO fund was passed by acclamation.'
 The permanent judicial commission took up at one of the hotels the heresy case against Dr. William D. evidence was taken in a closed ses- sion but it was announced that there was little likelihood of a decision be- ing reached for a day or two.
 There is much interest in the here sy trial. Some of the remarkable low:
 Moses had the blues when he wrote some of his poems"
 There is not a personal Devil"
 Five found sin in her own heart and was not tempted by Satan"
 Christ was crucif1ed in @ perfectly natural manner by mob of fanatic Jews and did not plan his own cruci- f1Xion."
 Such remarks as these are against every basic doctrine of the church and indicate, say his prosecutors, that DI. uOcS IloL UcllcNt III tIc Dl- vine inspiration of the Scriptures.
 These statements alleged to have been made by Dr. Grant in sermons and writings are contained in the testimony against him. This testi- mony fills a book of more than 300 pages. Among other startling theories said to have been advanced by the accused clergyman is a positive de- nial that there ever was such a man as Jonah and that neither Christ nor any one else acts as mediator be- tween God and man.
 In the hearing of Dr. Grants case cross examination of a witness that the accused minister said that he be- lieved Ananias and Sapphira died from heart failure and not from the act of God.
 ''Did he say that the Lord had nothing to do with the death of these two liars" the witness was asked.
 "He said their death was due to natural causes and that the Lord had nothing whatever to do with it."
 What else did he say about mira cles?''
 ''He said all miracles were due to natural causes"
 Did he admit that any were due to the Lord? ?''
 "I think said the witness, "that he wanted the Lord left out of it.''
 This naive reply drew a laugh even from the most bitter opponents of pr. Grant.

Tries Suicide
 At Age Of 70
Peter Van Alstyne, Civil War Veteran, Cuts Throat With Razor After Quarrel With Wife

New Haven, May 23.-Supposedly because of a family disagreement, Peter Van Alstyne, an elderly negro, who has weathered several summ CTS and can point with pride to an hon. orable career with the federal troops in the Civil War, tried to commit suicide at the home of his brother at 25 Eaton street yesterday afternoon. The old negro came from his former home in West Kent, New York where he has lived for years, about ten days ago, after quarrel with his wife. Since he came here he has shown signs of homesickness and de- spondency and his effort at suicide is believed to be result of this.
 Van Alstyne is a true old southern darky who came north shortly before the great rebellion to throw his lot with the northern soldiers in the fight to gain liberty for his race Accord ing to his relatives his life has been an exceptionally even one and that for this reason the small disagree ment with his family in New York state was more likely to affect him. In West Kent he has a wife and three grown children.
 He was found in the bath room of the house on Eaton street yesterday afternoon about a quarter to five o'clock with bad gash in his neck, which had quite evidently been 1n- flicted by the razor that lay at his side on the floor. At the direction avenue police sta ation, who was call ed he was sent at once to the Grace hospital. It was reported there last night that he would probably recov- CT. The gash is a deep one, however. and Van Alstyne lost much blood.

MACDONALD RESOLVED. Commissioner Not Responsible For Road Conditions in Greenwich.

Greenwich, May 23-At a meeting of the local Board of Trade last night at which it was expected that charges of incompetency against Highway Commissioner Macdonald would be drawn up to be presented to the Gov ernor, failed in it's intention. The board listened to a report by an en- gineer on the post road between this place and Stamford and to the con- tractor having the work on the road in charge. These reports seemed to show that the commissioner was not responsible for the poor conditions of things but that the town and the troll ley company were the ones causing the delay in work. The matter was placed in the hands of a committee for fur ther investigation.

Whitewash.

At this season, when so much white
washing is done, the following rule for
preparing the wash, which is used by
a large factory out west, may be
found useful. Have ready one barrel
of unslaked lime, and add, while slak-
ing it, three pounds of glue and three
pounds of suet, talIow, lard or ba-
con cut in small pieces. The heat of
the shaking will dissolve the fat, which
acts, like an oil. Add also a pound of
alum and six pounds of salt Half a
pound Of bOrax can be added later.
Bluing may be added when the white
wash is used, allowing about one ia
blespoonful to a pailfuI. The white
wash should be prepared three or four
weeks before using, as it improves
with age, unlike most mixtures of the
kind Stir it every day up to the time
of using tt has been used on outbuiId-
fngs ana wears well.

HOW TO PUT AWAY LEMONS
Simple Instructions by Which the
Housekeeper Can Economic
This Summer

Lemons are an item that every
housewife can economic on this sum:
mer if they follow these instructions.
Dip each one in melted parafine and
wrap in waxed paper. Lay away in a
large glass jar or crock. The large,
thin-skinned ones are to be preferred.
as these can now be purchased for
about one cent each. and. as you know.
in the middle of the summer you are
required to pay three times as much
for not as good quality; an hours
time, ten cents worth of parafine and
five cents worth of waxed paper will
be considered money well spent if you
now put away enough to last you
through the hot spell
When you wish to use them, all that
will be necessary will be to dip them
in fairly hot water and not only will
the parafine entirely come off, but the
hot dip will also improve the lemon
by making the extracting of the Juice
much easier and more complete.

FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE

Our boy was born in Toronto on
Oct. Ii, 1908, and when three months
old a slight rash appeared on his
cheek. What appeared to be a wa
ter blister would form When it
broke, matter would run out, starting
new bIisters until his entire face,
head and shoulders were a mass Of
scabs and you could not see a par
ticle of clear skin. Other parts of
his body were affected, but not to
such an extent We tried about every
advertised remedy without avail, in
deed some of them only added to his
suffering and one in particular, the
- Remedy, almost put the infant
into commissions. The family doctor
prescribed for him and told US to
battle the baby in buttermilk. This
did not do any good, so we took him
to a hospital. He was treated as an
Out-patient twice a week and he got
worse, If anything. We then called
IN another doctor and inside of a
week the boy was, to all appearances,
cured and the doctor said his work
was done. But the very next day it
broke out as bad as ever
I'VE decided that it could not be
cured and must run its course and so
we just kept his arms bandaged to
his side to prevent his tearing his
flesh. We left Toronto and shortly
after our arrival in Duluth, the Cutf-
cura Remedies were recommended.
We started using them in May, 1909,
and soon the cure was complete. You
would not think he was the same
child for Cuticura made his skin per-
fectly clear and he is entirely free
from the skin disease. There has
been no return this time We still
use only Cuticura Soap for baby's
bath. Robert Mann. Proctor, Mimi,
