English speaking people throughout
the world for five minutes for silent
PRAYER and contemplation Is sug-
gestion which Senator Root, or New

100 prominent New York men to have
charge of the celebration of the CEN

plans to commemorate the. anniver-
sary by the erection Of permanent

There are indications Of more
trouble on the Mexican border because
of an alleged attempt to start another
revolution against President Madero,
the new president. General Bernardo
Reyes, who was in command of the
Mexican army under General Diaz, Is
said to be the instigator Of the revolu-
ton and because 1t was claimed that
he was organizing his proposed expe-
dition on the American side Of the bor-
der. he was arrested a few days ago
on an indictment approved by United
States grand jury. Reyes denies that
he has taken any steps looking to rev.
olution or that he intends to do any
thing of the kind. He will have
hearing in the United States court.
Governor CoiQuitt Of Texas, has tele-
graphed the president full details OF
the situation and asked him to take
cognizance. Governor Colquitt told
the president that he would not stand
for the killing of any more citizens

dered the Third United States cavalry,
stationed at Fort Sam Houston, to go
to the border for patrol duty. A story
went out from Texas to the erect
that the interference Of the United
States Is at the instance Of the Mexi-
can government; but the president
says that there has been nothing OF
the kind. He states that the WASH
ington government endeavored to pro-
tect and ensure the neutrality of the
United States during the uprising
against Diaz and it will do the same
thing now.
Atlanta. Ga, November 20: w.
T.: Peeler, a bookkeeper OF Gaffney,
=. c., has made a written confession
that he recently came to Atlanta and
impersonated the Rev. w. A. Ferrall
Of Gaffney to clear the latter's skirts
OF a police court charge resulting
from a newspaper want ad wooing
episode. Several weeks ago a man
stating that he was Rev. W. A. Fer
rail- of Gaffney, S. c., was arraigned
before Judge Broyles in the city court
on the complaint of young woman
who charged that he had made love
to her through the want ad columns
There was nothing at the time to
show that the minister was not acting
la good faith, and he was released.
The report of his arraignment, how
ever. caused a sensation in Carney.
The affair was clothed in deeper mys-
terry when another man. who said he
was Rev. w. A. Ferrall of Gaffney, ).
g.. sought out Judge Broyles. This
man denounced the other Ferrall as
an impostor, and received a letter
from the judge declaring that he was
not the man arraigned. After pub
licity had been given to the judges
letter the matter remained in un-
certainty until photograph or the
real Rev. w. a. Ferrall was sent to
Atlanta and identified by Judge
Rroyles and others as the minister
who had been arrd;Sned. Peeler In
his confession states that he imper-
.sonated the minister at the latter's
request. came to Atlanta, saw Judge
Rroyies at his home. and secured the
letter generating Ferrall from the
affair.
- Proceedings of the trial of ten men
at Lincoln Centre, Kan, for tarrlng
and feathering young woman school
teacher. are being reported in the dis
patches. The full details have not
been published it appears that
there is no doubt about these facts.
The character of the school teacher is
unuuestioned. Some months ago the
young woman accepted an invitation
for a buggy ride with a young man.
The buggy was held up in a thick
wood, and when the young man ran
away, the young woman was seized
by a party of ten men, stripped, tar
red and feathered. The young man
then. reappeared and took the young
woman back to his home. 1t after
ward came out that the young man
was also a party to the conspiracy
and he was forced to give the names
Of the others, who were prominent in
the community. The only reason CIV
en- for the cowardly act is that the
young woman had been talking
about" other women in the. communi-
ty, and the other, women had instiga-
ted their husbands to do the deed. 1t
was believed at first that the young
woman would run away in her humili-
alton. and that would be the last of
1t, but she stood her ground and the
outlook is that the cowardly mob is to
see the last of it. The whole thing Is
little more than an ordinary Enching,
with little different coloring-that. is
all; but maybe under the peculiar cir
cumstances of this case the members
of the mob will come near getting
what should come to them.
