His ministry of more than forty
years was one of unusual diligence

man of pronounced convictions and
he was possessed of delicate sense

the New Commercial hotel is now To-
Gated, and a number OF our citizens
who are now middle-aged and Older
remember his ministry and words OF
counsel. He made many new ac-
quaintances during the recent meet
ing of the South Georgia Conference
in Dawson, and his death is generally
regretted here.

NEW YORK.-Supreme Court
Justice Hendrick upheld today the
decision of the jury which declared
Harry K. Thaw sane.
The state Immediately served no
tice of appeal, and Justice Hendrick
put Thaw under bail of $35 900 to
insure his presence at future proceed
ings. A surety company was prepared
to give the bond and Thaw was taken
from the court house to the judges
chambers so details might be ar
ranged.
Several hundred people lined the
streets around the court house and
cheered Thaw wildly when he ap-
peared on the court house steps.
In announcing his decision Justice
Hendrick took occasion to comment
unfavorably on the action of alienists
who had assisted the state in pre-
pairing the case and then appeared as
expert witnesses in court.

RECENT ERUPTION MOST
THRILLING EVER IN Japan
The Glorious Alpine Valley Is Covered J. Merle Davis
An American. Gives Impression Of the Outbreak

MATSUMOTO, Japan.-The recent
eruption of Yakegatake, or Mountain
of Fire, was one of the most thrill
ing and extraordinary in recent Jap
anese volcanic history. Several days
after the first outbreak tourists dis
covered that a lake mile in dame
ter had been formed at the base of
the mountain.
j. Merle Davis, formerly of Illinois,
honorary secretary of the Young
Mems Christian Association of Toxic,
was staying here during the eruption,
and has given his impressions to the
Associated Press as follows:
Sunday morning l was awakened
at by a series of earthquake shocks,
which grew in intensity until it
seemed as if the house would fall to
pieces before we could get out of it.
AS I reached the door half-dressed,
with an ear-rending conclusion the
big mountain, whose base is only two
miles from the hotel began to get
busy. From it's eastern slope, a mile
below the old craters at the summit,
it blew out a volume of rocks, mud,
steam. smoke and ashes in a vast coll
umn. The whole valley was filled
with a pendemonium of sound as the
granite cliffs hurled the echoes back
and forth.
"A heavy cloud of smoke rolling
in large puffs and waves spread over
the valley, turning bright sunshine
into twilight. Soon ashes began to
fall but must confess I did not wait
to measure them, for [ was already
making good time up the river path
toward Shima-Shima. At the bridge,
a mile above the hotel, l began to
get ashamed of myself, and as moth

happened and since breakfast was
waiting down the river, returned.

head badly cut in two places and his

But more remarkable still is the
fact that Hemphill got up, walked
more than a mile to the home of a

TOO TAME FOR YOUNGSTERS
Former British Golf Champion Says
Game Has Few Attractions for
the Average Youth.

Harold Hy Hilton, the former
British champion. in an editorial in
the golfing magazine of which he is
the editor. expresses the opinion that
golf is a game that possesses few az
fractions for the average boy.
Hilton believes that the boy who
plays golf receives much benefit
therefrom, but he thinks that most
boys prefer more active sports in
which their youthful enthusiasm can
ind a natural outlet.
In view of the boom which the
junior tournament idea is passing
through on this side OF the Atlantic
just now the great British golfers
idea is particularly interesting He
says in part:
Youth demands vigorous outlet
for the natural fund of animal spirits
which IS present in nearly every boy
of tender years, and it can hardly be
said that the game of golf supplies a
sufficient outlet for the vigorous en-
thusiasm of youth. 1t has few of the
characteristics which appeal to the
true, natural boy, and notwithstand-
ing the cutlery against the advisable
ity of allowing schoolboys to play the
game, we cannot believe that it win
ever become supremely popular with
the youth of the country unless some
subtle change is taking place in the
characteristics of the boyhood of
Great Britain
But notwithstanding the absence
of discipline. that it is an excellent
training foundation for the young, I'M
matured mind, we are thoroughly
convinced, as it teaches the boy to
act for himself, and it teaches him
control and self-discipline. and the
latter is the very soul and core of
all forms of discipline
