Lawyer and llio Meyer, Jury.
Atlanta, Aug. 29.—Tho Meyers mur¬
der trial is, it seems, destined to bring
about more criminal proceedings than
those directly connected with it, and
two Atlanta lawyers will, unless a truce
is had, have to auswer in court upon
charges of perjury.
The charges grew out of tho affidavits
made by Attorneys J. J. Rowe and L.
N. Mercier, accusing Attorney W. C.
Glenn, of counsel for the proseoutiou,
with tamnering with the jury, which
Colonel Glenn promptly denied aud
prosecuted the attorneys who made the
affidavits for perjury.
Judgo Hart, in the hearing of the
motion for a new trial, which was re¬
fused, stated that ho saw tho meeting
between Colonel Glouu and the jury,
and that there was nothing to warrant
tho charge of tampering.
Tiie proseoutiou of Attorneys Rowe

Washington, Aug. 27.— The morn¬
ing's White House mail bore the com¬
mission of Matt W. Ransom to be
United States minister to Mexico. The
commission was dated Aug. 21. This
ends a legal complication by which
Minister Ransom, after several months
service at his post at the City of Mex¬
ico, was declared ineligible to fill the
office to which he had been appointod
prior United to the expiration o 1 his term as
States senator.
It Was he! 1 by the treasury account¬
ing officers that he fell within a consti¬
tutional inhibition against the appoint¬
ment of congressmen to offices created,
or whose emoluments had been incroas
ed daring their service in congress. It
has been generally understood that Mr.
Ransom would be promptly reappoint¬
ed, and the slight delay which lias oo
curred, presumably, has been for tho
purpose of definitely ascertaining that
there was no more legal or other obsta¬
cles in the way of renaming Mr. Ran
som to the Mexican mission.
Tiie minister was in Washington a
few days ago, but is now in North Car¬
olina recuperatiug from an attack of
illness due in part to the climate of the
City of Mexico.
CAUSED CONSTERNATION.
Settlor* Ordered to Vacate L«rg« Posses*
stems by Government OfliolaU*
Fort Townsend, Wash., Aug. 27 —
Consternation has been caused iu this
aud adjoiuing counties by the appear¬
ance of an army lieutenant and a squad
of men with instructions to all settlors
on government reserves to vacate the
same before Sept. )5 or bo removed by
tho troops. This move is the outcome
of a recent order of the war department
and it is conservatively estimated that
1,500 settlers will lose thefr homes.
In early days when the settlement of
Washington was beginning the gov
ernmeht took occasion to set aside
much valuable laud which it was in •
tended to use in establishing the Indi¬
ans. These reservations on the part of
the government exceeded the needs of
occasio ned as It never made an
by intelligent cultivation Wave beeu do
v0 i O ped into the finest farmiug lands in
the state.
It is feared here that trouble will en¬
sue should the government attempt to
forcibly take from the settlers the
homes which they have built by many
years of toil.
It was claimed by some that this ao
tion of tho department is simply pre
liminary to the extensive and much i
needed fortification of Paget Sound.

bued our hearts with more earnestness
for this noble work. Her presence was an
inspiration to us.
At 11 a. ni. Sunday llev. W. B. Burke

The Millions of Souls rs
What nre wo doing, dear • woin**re ; to
send the precious light of the gospel to
the millions who grope in darkness with¬
out it? There is Chinn,for instance, llow
many people live then’? i wonder if you
fully realize their number. Why, there
nre so many that i! you wore to stand at
a point where you could see them pass
you steadily one by one, it would take
you thirty years to count lhemall,couiit
ing without ceasing twelve hours a day.
You know how large a book the Bible
is. Now I do not ask you to think of how
many chapters there are in the Bible, nor
even of how many words, but of how
many letters. Think, then, of how many
letters there must be in nil tho words in
all the chapters in the Bible. Well, it
would take eighty Billies to represent all
the people in China if every letter iu those
eighty Bibles stood for u person.
O, workers, how great is our responsi¬
bility with reference to sending thegospei
to China.
Hew The Christians Give.
The number of Christians in the world
is said to be thirty-one millions: yet from
those thirty-one millions of Christians
(iod gets but $11,000,000 a year, about
the third of a dollar from each one. i
have seen it stated that thecontributions
to missions from the Protestantclmrches
of America do not average more than
twenty-three cents per member yearly.
TUe Greatest Missionary Church.
The greatest missionary church on the
faceof the earth is tho Moravian Church.
That church excels not only in giving,
but in consecration. It sends one of ev¬
ory sixty of its members to the foreign
field, ai d gives oil ail average of $12 per
member every year to the cause of Afis
sious.
Child-Marriage Among Indians.
Miss Ileleu Brewster, lias thin to soy of
the terrible custom of child-marriage
amoug the Indians:
“On6 oi the Indian customs that dis¬
tresses me more than any* other is that
they i r gir ls away to be married
when they aie little things, sometimes
not lupre than seven years phi. Last
winter there was sneli a sweet little girl
came to our school one morning. 1 went
right over to her sister Nonna- who was
present, and asked tirat she might come
to school to me. Norma laughed and
said: “O no, she is married." Thus they
are taken away from their mothers and
brothers and sisters and all the sweet
ploy of childhood, and made tobewomen
when they are only little children. Their
faces liuvea sad, uneliildlike look that is
most pitiful to see. In the home to which
they are taken there is frequently one or
more grown wives, and so Hie little child
wife is made a sort’ ol drudge lor them
all. Tims ail the sweet brightness of her
childhood goes out forever.
It does one good to sre that the light
ol the gospel is fast dispelling iliis bad
custom; for one of our Indian Christians.
Echoed]y, is leaving his little girl wife
with her mother till she get* grown.

GLENN ON TOP.
The Judge Saw the Meeting Between the
Lawrer nnd (he Moyers Jury.
Atlanta, Aug. 28.—The Moyers mur¬
der trial is, it seems, destined to bring
about more criminal proceedings than
those diroctly connected with it, and
two Atlanta lawyers will, unless a truce
is charges had, have to answer In court upon
of perjury.
The chargos grew out of the affidavit*
made by Attorneys J. J. Rowe and L.
N. Mercier, accusing Attorney W. C.
Glenn, of counsel for the prosecution,
with tampering with the jury, which
Colonel Glenn promptly denied and
prosecuted the attorneys who made the
affidavits for perjury.
Judge Hart, iu tha hearing of the
motion for a new trial, which was re¬
fused, stated that he saw tho meeting
between Colonel Glenn and the jury,
aud that there was nothing to warrant
the charge of tampering.
Tiie proseoutiou of Attorneys Rowe
aud Mercier will be pre ssed.
