Pay The Preacher.

Within the next few weeks,
the annual conference will meet
at Monroe. and Rev. Staples will
bid us adieu, and soon we will
start on another year. and Rev.
Shirley will do us likewise. Now
bear in mind that, although
they are Ministers Of the Gospel, :,
they are humans just as we are,
they have their families to sup.
port and their homes to main.
tain and, even at the best, a
preacher ia very poorly paid for
the services he renders and ad.
ministers.
The good book says: ga SER
want is worthy of its hire, and
lam sure that both of these good
men have been worthy servants
a. the public Of Delhi. So, when
Rev. Staples meets with the con-
ference, let him not carry up a
report to the conference tha.
Delhi was delinquent and fell far
short of the amount due him.
lie will be compelled to make a
truthful report, and, bear in mind
ifan unfavorable report is rem.
dered from this point. we will
not have a good, able man to
serve US next year, but we will
be served with the poorest and
cheapest man, as We will bear
the reputation Of not paying oul
preachers, and hence it will be
hard for US to fill our pulpits
And Rev. Shirley. like Rev
Staples, will not feel like serving
US another year il we do moi
maintain him as a minister should
be maintained.
Now, there is no reaeon why
Delhi should not provide residen
preachers, to have our minister,
live in our midst, so that we cal
come in daily contact with them
which brings the greatest mora
influence TO bear that can b,
brought from any source that on,
could think of. So now church
member. business man, chris
tian and fellow citizen, pay tn,
preacher; help build up the mora
influence Of your town; look t.
it as much as you do TO the up
building OF your commercial ant
civic interests and enterprises.

GOES MAD AS HE SEES
DEATH CHAIR; SHOCK
ENDS NEGRO'S RAVING

AUBURN, \. Y, Sept 16.-The most
grewsome spectacle ever presented at
an electrocution was seen at Auburn
prison today, when James Williams, a
negro. was executed. Fear of death
had driven the negro insane and he
struggled and talked necessarily from
the time he was taken out of the death
cell until the electric current ended his
life.
Nevertheless, the execution was one
of the most rapid on record, requiring
only one minute and forty seconds. One
contact of 1850 volts ended Williams
life.
Williams was accompanied to the
chair by priest. Despite the priests
soothing words, Williams struggled to
the last against his captors and insist
ed upon making a wild speech. He eli
tered the death chamber in a working
suit and golf cap, but was angry when
the cap was taken off. He struggled
to rise, but the straps held and he de-
liVered his rambling argument, saying
Don't kill me, gentlemen l want to
warn you about women. Keep away
from women. That's what got me hera
That's my last voice. Lord Jesus.
was the first one. Hello, I'm the one
but gentlemen, don't kill me-"

MISS FARRAR NOT.
ILL, SAYS FRIEND
Has Been in SanitarIum. But
Has Recovered and Will
Sing in Opera Soon.
BY cHARLEs HENRY MELrzER.


LONDON. Sept 16.-What are the facts
concerning Geraldine Farrar? For some
weeks past wild stories have been cur
rent. In Paris and Milan the popular
prma donna was reported to be so i'll
that there was little or no hope Of saving
her. The announcement that she had
been under treatment is a Munich SANTA
rum seemed to give substance to this tale.
When it became known that she had can
celled all engagements for her projected
concert tour her friends. of course. sup
posed her case was desperate.
- have learned. however. from an i'm
portant employe Of the Metropolitan that
Miss Farrar had recovered.
Il saw Miss Farrar only few days ago
in Munich said my informant. She
was then living at the Hotel De Russie
and looked bright and well. 1t is a fact
that she was lately in a santarium. and
at her doctors advice. some weeks ago,
she cancelled her concert enga gements,
but she assured me she was now in per-
feet health and there appears to be no
doubt that she will be able to appear on
the second night of the approaching opera
season. not in New York, but possibly in
New Haven
In confirmation of his optimistic state
ments. my informant pointed out that
Miss Farrar's mother had arrived in
Paris
rs it likely" he concluded, that she
would leave her daughters side if the
reports you mention were justified
on the other hand, about a week ago
an artist who till lately would have been
generally accepted as an authority gave
quite alarming news about Miss Farar
to one of the most influential persons con-
nected with grand opera in America. The
truth may lie between the two extremes.
