TRAIN BANDIT PLEADS GUILTY.
Poor Physical Condition May Get
Him Leniency from Court.

New Orleans, Oct. 29.-Howard
E. Edwards, the train bandit, who
held up and robbed the New York
Limited train on the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad, near New Or
leans, on the night of September a.,
pleaded guilty in the federal court
to-day to charges Of robbing the
mails and assaulting mail clerks.
Judge Foster deferred sentence.
Under the law Edwards may re-
ceive a maximum sentence of 70
years at hard labor in federal pris-
on, but on account of his poor phys
ical condition it is probable that he
will get a lighter sentence.
Edwards held up the train single
handed, relieved passengers in i've
coaches of their values and rlt1ed
the mail car. He then got on the
engine with the intention of leav-
ing the train near Bay, st. Louis,
Miss, but Engineer Baer struck him
on the head with brass torch and
effected his capture. Edwards is a
native of Illinois, but his family is
at Jupiter, Fla.

Ends Life With Bullet.

Columbia, Oct. 28.-Worn and

after the doctor arrived. He made
no statement after he shot himself.
The body was removed to local un-

that an inquest will be held.
Aiken had lived in Columbia about
three years, coming here from Fair

Negroes to Die i'm Chair.

Daniel Bird and Jake Moore, two
negroes from Fairfield conuty, will
die in the electric chair at the State
penitentiary here on Thursday, Oc-
tober 81. The sheriff of Fairfield
county brought the prisoners here
Saturday and they were lodged in
cells at the death house where they
will remain until the hour of execu-
ton.
The two negroes were convicted at
the September term of court of gen.
eral sessions on the charge of muir
der. They killed another negro man.
The penitentiary officials expect to
receive the commitment papers to-
day.
Since Sam Hyde, of Anderson
county, was executed about month
ago no prisoners have been confined
in the death house awaiting execu-
ton. Three were brought to the
penitentiary Saturday; the two Fair
field county negroes, and T. o.
Vaughn, of Greenville, erstwhile su-
perintendent of the Odd Fellows Or
phan home, who Saturday confessed
to criminally assaulting little girls
under his charge. His execution is
set for December 20.
The execution of Daniel Bird and

KILLED HIS FATHER.
Robert Lawson Shot His Father in
Back of Head in Clinton.

Clinton, S. c., Oct. 2S.-W. F.
Lawson, a farmer living near this
place, was killed here this afternoon
by his son, Robert Lawson, on one
of the principal streets. The young
man who killed his father is about
% years of age and fired five shots
into the back of his fathers head. A
number of people witnessed the trag-
edy and young Lawson surrendered
almost Immediately after the killing.
The father died almost instantly.
Young Lawson, now in prison, says
that he and his father had not been
on good terms for more than two
years and that his father had made
repeated threats to take his life.
He and his father came into Clin-
ton this morning from their farms
with a bale of cotton to sell. Both
were armed and doubtless trouble
had been anticipated. The cotton is
supposed to have been the property
of the younger Lawson and shortly
after their arrival in the city young
Lawson was seen to be driving the
wagon across the square with the
bale of cotton in it. He was ap-
preached by his father, who demand
ed the bale in payment for rent. The
son denied that he owed any money
and the father then demanded that
the son get down from the wagon.
When the latter refused to do so, the
father, according to the young man $
statement, drew his pistol and pre-
pared to shoot. The boy then
brought his weapon to bear and fired
five shots rapidly, all five taking ef-
feet in the back of the older mans
head.
Despite the fact that the man was
shot from the rear, the boy puts in a
plea of self-defense and says that If
he had not fired, his father would
have killed him. The father did not
fire shot.
The young man maintains what
may be said to be a defiant attitude
He does not express any regret or re-
morse for his deed, but contends that
he but saved his life when he fired.

with headquarters in Paterson, N.
J., selected Angelo Bresci to slay the
king, who had already, three years
before, been exposed to anarchlstlc
bullets. The king went to Monza to
present the prizes at a gymnastlc
competition. No special, danger was
feared, and no particular precautions
were taken; but as he was leaving
the hall and stepping into his car
riage, Bresci fired three times, one
of his shots finding lodgment in the
kings heart.
King Carlos of Portugal, and the
Crown Prince Luis fell victims to a
revolutionary conspiracy o1 Febru-
ary /, 1908. The kingdom had been
in a ferment for some time with the
republican feeling which led a year
or two ago to the abolition of the
monarchy. The royal family had
been at Villa Vicosa, and it was
known that they were about to re-
turn to their palace in Lisbon. AS
they drove through the streets the
conspirators opened fire upon them
with carbines. The king and the
crown prince fell dead, but Queen
Amelia and prince, now ex-Klng
Manuel, escaped.
Of all the assassinations of crown
ed heads of recent years perhaps the
most dastardly was that Of the En-
press Elizabeth of Austria, at Geneva
on September 10, 1898. The en-
press had lived a blameless life, and
had known more than her full share
of sorrows. She was famed for her
charities, and her love of travelling
was regarded with respect and affec-
ton by those who came within her
influence. But as she was staying
at Geneva, and was walking quietly
to her hotel the French-Italian an
archist Luccheni attacked and kill
ed her.
Of attempts to assassinate crown
ed heads there has been very large
number. Even so beloved a SOW
ereign as Queen Victoria was exposed
three or four times to the shots of
would-be-murderer who were gen.
orally thought to have been insane.
King Edward was the victim of an
attack while travelling in Belgium.
But the most sensational assault on
ROYALTY was committed upon King
Alfonso of Spain, and his bride, the
Princess Victoria of England, as they
were driving home after their mar
riage ceremony. A bomb was thrown
at the royal procession, and the car
riage in which, the newly married
pair was driving was so badly shat
tered that they were forced to COM
plete their journey in another, but
neither the king nor queen was in
jured.

Q.-ln Genesis ii, 7, we read that
imam became living seul;" and in Job
xiv, %, we read "hs soul within him."
Is the soul a part of man, or is the
whole Of a man living soul? (E.)
Answer.-For Ages, one of the most
momentous questions, and one most
frequently propounded, has been
What is the souI?' The Bible an
swers the question so directly and
simply that students Of the Scriptures
are now marveling that this question
should ever have perplexed any in the
past. The Hfegiving quality. the en-
ergiZing principle, in union with the
organism. or body, forms the living
intelligent being. This being, whether
sheep. elephant, horse, man, angel, Or
devil is the soul For proof of this in
the Scriptures, carefully note the fol-
lowing citations the first two in the
marginal readings of the Authorized
Version. Genesis i, 20, 80; ii, - The
wcrd soul III this connection is from
the Hebrew nephesh, which means lit
orally q breathing creature" Man
does net possess a soul but ne is a
soul. The entire being is the soul.
Jobs expression must be understood
in the poetic sense, and signifies that
man would suffer and mourn from his
inmest being, from the bottom of his
SOUL as is sometimes said in the YER
