DIR. GALEY'S LECTURE.
Fourth Lecture in Series Is Given
at Young Peoples Building
Last Night.


The fourth of DR.. Caley's lee
tures was held in the Young Peo-
ple's Building last veening, the SUD-
iect being "The Miracles and Teach
incs of Jesus Christ" The miracles
were a very important part OF HIS
work, for they were the means OF
gathering in all those who heard Him
speak. The four kinds of evidence
that He did perform miracles are:
Our Lord referred to them himself
as signs of His Messiahship.
His disciples believed that He per-
formed them and referred to them.
The enemies of Jesus did not deny
them, but permitted them to stand.
And the friends of our Lord re-
ferred to them.
The three distinctive features are
the miracles, the wonders and the
signs, each with a distinctive mean
ing; the wonders referring to the ef-
feet which was produced by the mir
acles wrought; and the signs lndl-
Gated there was a special meaning
in the character of the miracles
which our Lord himself performed.
The Purposes of the miracles were:
The manifestation of His power, a
means of blessing those for whom
they were wrought; illustrations OF

VERDICT FOB RAILROAD COM
PANY.

After a hearing lasting from We'd
nesday OF last week until yesterday
evening. the case OF Fred Mitchell
against the Great Falls and Old Do
nlinion Railroad Company for the re-
cnvery OF damages on account OF the
death OF Mr.. Kitchen in the accident
involving the collision OF Henry Nit
chell's machine at what is known as
Colonial crossing in Virginia on June
II, 1911, was submitted to jury
presided over by Judge Barley in the
Alexandria County Court and a YER
dict rendered in favor OF the defend
ant company. AS q result OF the ac'
cident, which involved the death oi
Mr.. Mitchell and Mr.. Kitchen and the
injury to two other occupants OF the
machine, several damage suits were
filed against the company aggregatlDs
in amount over 100000.
The first case tried was that OF Mr.
Kitchen, and was warmly contested en-
the ground that the motorman OF the
railroad company should have stopped
his car before the collision occurred
The defendant, on the contrary
claimed that without regarding the OBJ
legation to to look and listen as he. ap'
preached the railroad tracks, Mr.. Nit
chell ran his machine Immediately 10

lead and while some Of them look
with longing eyes on the horrors at
tached to the first place they have a
feeling that they had rather put in
the next twenty days getting sub
scriptions, and make their defence
impregnable for the closing hours.
Subscriptions Easier to Secure
The second period of the contest
which commenced last Wednesday
will be a hummer and will certainly
bring some surprises to all who have
been watching the race. The condi-
tions are all favorable for all candi-
dates. The contest has been so
thoroughly advertised all through this
section that every body knows about
It and candidate will not be 'requir-
ed to occupy much time in explaining
it to her friends upon whom she calls
for support. This should make the
work of securing subscriptions much
easier than at first, and it ought not
to take as long to amass big vote
as when the contest started and peo-
ple were unfamiliar with the condi-
tions of the offer of the Alexandria
Gazette.
This fact should cause those cam
didates who have not made much of
a showing thus far in the race to get
move on themselves and strive to
win the honors in their district.
Subscriptions Rolling In
Thus far during the contest the
subscriptions have been rolling IN;
hundreds of new subscriptions have
been added to the already large fami-
ly of readers of the Alexandria Ga
zette, and with them AN aggregate of
many thousand special ballots which
will help to determine the winners at
the close of the contest. These specl-
al ballots were so evenly distributed
among the ladies that it would take
a prophet to make even an intelligent
guess regarding the probable winners
The period Of highest votes was i'm
proved so we'll by so many of the rival
candidates in each of the districts that
the final result of the contest is as
much of an inigma as it was at the
start. The prizes are yet to be won.
The Alexandria Gazette has made the
offer, the young ladies all seem to ap-
preciate the value of those trips and
some hard work will be done during
the next five weeks before the honors
will be awarded.
Now is the time for the contestants
to Law out q new line of campaign,
align their efforts and make an on
slaught on the new subscriptions,
which during these five weeks will
determine who's who in the big con-
test.
