and when that bill came before the
senate yesterday, it was passed with
an amendment providing Ior the ad-
ditional fourth circuit judge. With
the concurrence of the house and
the approval of the president, this
bill may become a law in short time,
whereas the Chiffon bill, now slum-
.bering in the house committee
might not be acted on for an indef-
mite period.
1t is stated on apparently good au-
thority that if the additional fourth
circuit judgeship is created the pres1-
dent may withdraw Justice Woods's
name, and nominate Mr.. Davis to
succeed Judge Goff, and Immediately
name Justice Woods for the new
place, because it will have been Gre
ated by congress of which Davis IS
a member; hence, the reported con-
templated shifting of nominations.
The two judgehips will be OF the
same rank.

The Jews will return to Jerusalem

tendeut of the Wesleyan Methodist
society, who is delivering course OF
lectures in the First Wesleyan church,

Coming of Christ" Mr.. Clements de-
clares that the New Testament has
foretold these events, and that by
careful study of the Scriptures and
by comparing the prophecies with
happenings of the past, specific time
can be set for these great events.
"The sign of the times plainly show
that the fulfllment of all prophecy is
now at hand. st. Paul declared that
the falling Off from the Christian faith
would be the forerunner Of the final
destruction of the world. People now
adays are not going to church. This is
a lite~-l fulfllment of the prophecy.

lowing out the instructions, he main
tained an impenetrable dignity, lis
tened meditatively to the organ obll-
cato which started the exercises, bow
ed his head modestly while the presi-
dent of the university uttered gaudy
encomiums on the art and artistry OF
the celebrated guest of the afternoon
and arose amid torrent of applause
to deliver his speech.
"And it was some speech! Carefully
tossing back a stray lock from his
gray wig, he shouted, LADIES' and
Geptelmen!' in way that gave me me
cold shivers, and then, quickly re-
gaining himself, sailed into "The Art
of Acting precisely as Dewey sailed
into Manila Bay. He was a revelation
and a riot. A dozen times applause
interrupted his flow of George Henry
Leve's diction. Once, when he let
himself out bit, he had to hold up his
hand to stop the cheering; and when
he had finished, the audience rocked
with wild-eyed enthusiasm and press
ed forward to grasp the great mans
fist.
None of my company was present
at the affair, and so the star was not
tipped off as to what had happened
until he alighted from the train Mon
day afternoon and was handed bum
die containing copies of his speech in
all the papers and box-of1ce state
ment showing that his house was sold
out for that night and most of the re-
mainder of the week. Attached to the
statement was my resignation to take
effect Immediately. I went to the cir
Gus that night. After the show the
circus press-agent, the pieler, and I
had blowout in the palm-room OF the

REsOURCEFUL PRESS AGENT.
A Circus "Spieler's" Speech at Uni
Versity.

In the June American Magazine ap-
pears the Autobiography of Theatri-
cal Press Agent" in which the story
is told of a famous Shakespearean
actor, now one of the foremost and
richest men on our stage, who in his
early days was scheduled by his
press agent to make an address at
university in a city where he and his
company we're to appear. The ar
rangement was made without the
actors knowledge or consent and
when the day came. for him to appear
before the university, he sent word
to his press agent few hours before
the gathering that he would not be
able to appear. The press agent was
angry at his employer, the actor, and
decided to resign, but before he
resigned, he resolved to "get
even," so he went to a
"spieler" for Barnum's Circus and
hired him to go before the university
audience and impersonate the actor.
The press agent and the "spieler"
hastily got hold of a second hand copy
of George Henry Levels art of Act
ing" and copied extracts from it,
which the "spieler" nemorized for
delivery as his speech. The story
goes on:
cat 2.30 that afternoon in big mo-
tor-car, the spieler, the circus press
agent, the dean of the university ia
Guilty, and myself drove to the campus
where we found the biggest auditorium
packed with the Intellectual flower OF
the State, and most Of the counties ad-
joining. I had previously given out
copies of the oration to the local news
papers, and had sent others to the
leading journals in surrounding cities.
The spieler turned nary hair. He
was an old hand at almost any game
but when it came to "wind-jamming'
he took OF his high hat to nobody. Fol-

Messrs. o'Neal, Dunbar and Oswald,

Messrs. O'Neal, Dunbar and Oswald,
of the searching party, on Tuesday
morning surrounded a house in which
the negro was supposed to be. The
brave Morris, risking his life in so
doing. over the protest of his posse,
battered down the door of the house
and searched it thoroughly. This oc-
cured at about s a. m. Tracks hav-
ing been found leading to the Savan-
nah river swamp, the searchers fol-
lowed, but the trail was found to be
obliterated. Weary and almost ex-
haus ed the searchers then broke
ranks and quietly returned to their
homes, all hope of the apprehension of
Austin having vanished.
Messrs. Morris and Stivenger went
to the home of Mr.. FARRELL and were
in the front yard when Austin ap-
preached the kitchen door and asked
for food, stating that he was cold and
wet and very hungry. Miss farrell
communicated the fact Of Austln's
presence to Sheriff Morris, who went
to the back door of the kitchen and
looked out. He then slipped out OF one
of the side doors and approached the
man, who was back Of the garden
fence. Both Austin and Mr.. Morris
raised their guns to fire, but the sheriff
fred first, bringing down his man with
a load of buckshot.
Fugitive's Last Stlnd.
Austin recovering from the shock
raised up to fire at Mr.. Stivenger, who
was approaching at this time, but
stivenger stopped him by shooting a
a Winchester through the left arm
and breaking it. Austin was pounced
upon by Sheriff Norris and Mr.. stiVen-
gre and overpowered. He was then
placed upon an improvised cot and
was found to have two guns and four
shells. He had changed the load in
the several shells so as to have some
buckshot in each shell.
The ladies of Newington praised
Sheriff Morris very highly, tuning out
in force to compliment him. The Barn
well dogs we're literally covered with
ribbons and decorations.
On going into Savannah people flock
ed to the train in such numbers that
the train had to be backed out OF the
Brinson depot, and held until an ambu-
lance arrived.

Nav Make New Place for Judge Wood

May Make New Place for Judge Woods
Washington, May 23.--It is be-
lieved likely that the nomination of
Justice Charles A. Woods, of the
South Carolina supreme court, to be
United States Judge may be with
drawn in a few days, and that he
will be Immediately nominated to the
additional judgeship that is likely to
be created by act of congress.
Senator Chiffon of West Virginia,
who strongly urged the appointment
of Representative Davis of that State
to the place for which Justice Woods
was named, has secured the passage
by the senate Of a bill providing for
an additional Judge in the fourth cir
cult. The house has not acted upon
that bill. Representative Mitchell
Palmer, of Pennsylvania, however,
had passed through the house bill
providing for an additional judge for
the eastern district Of Pennsylvania,
