temple. Ocean Grove, declared that the
Hebrew version of the episode was un

Babylonian story, and that the recital
was used in the Bible merely as a
parable to convey greater truths. "Il's
only a story, used as a parable to con
vey a great truth." he said.

Scheme Included Seizing Royal
, Family on Imperial Yacht
and Reorganizing Country.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 13. Hun
dreds of secret police are at work to
day throughout the empire investigat
ing the scope of the most daring plot
ever aimed at the czar and the Russian
government. So far as the details have
been learned, the conspiracy not only
included plans for the seizure of Czar
Nicholas, the czarina and the royal
family, but a reorganization of the
government into a constitutional mon
archy.
Arrests of naval officers on board the
Russian battleship Ivan Zlatoust at
Odessa gave the public the first inti
mation of the cabal. Further arrests
in St. Petersburg, Yalta anad Sebasto
pol gave an idea of its widespread ram
ifications. Many army and navy offi
cers are involved. The whole empire is
stirred over the plot.
While the government is making rig
id efforts to keep the details of the
' conspiracy secret, nevertheless it was
learned today that the plotters con
spired to seize the czar and imperial
family'while they w ere en route front
Yalta. Crimea, to Sebastopol on board
the yacht Standart.
Fleet Planned
To Mutiny.
At the same time the Baltic fleet was
> to have mutinied and made simultane
, ous attacks upon Cronstadt and St.
Petersburg, the fleet being split up in
two squadrons.
M. Chtchegiovitoff, th" minister of
Justice, and Premier Kokovsoff, who are
personally directing the investigation,
have learned that the commanders of
nearly every important garrison In the
j empire were appi oached. The conspira
tors seemed to have an unlimited sup
ply of money and. in addition to offer
ing bribes, promised political prefer
ment after the government was "reor
ganized.”
One petty officer and sixteen seamen
on the Ivan Zlatoust have already been
, arrested, condemned and put to death
for their part in the conspiracy.

was being carried to the extreme. An ;
Immodest dress on a woman should be

CESEHTED
$40,000.00 Offer, Lightning
Courtship Won Heart of Sus
ceptible “Country Girl.”
FOOLED HER PARENTS AND
CAME HERE TO BE WED
After Brief Honeymoon, Letter
From Husband Opens the
Bride’s Eyes.
Lured by an advertisement offering
to share $-10,000 with the country girl
who would become his wife, wooed
and won and deserted after eloping,
pretty Mary McEachin, nineteen-vear
old daughter of J. P. McEachin, a re
tired farmer of Denton. Ga., appeared
at police station today and asked Chief
Beavers to begin a hunt for her dash
ing husband of a few days.
Mies McEachin told the chief a story
that had all the elements of romance in
it. Some weeks ago she read In a daily
newspaper an advertisement in which
the writer announced that he wanted a
country girl for a wife and had s4O,Oofr
to share with her. She answered and
was delighted to get a quick response.
A Dashing- Wooer
Was Hutcheson.
Her correspondent, who gave his
name as Conway Hutcheson, of Bat
tenberg, Va., proved a lightning wooer.
He announced that he’d run down to
Denton at once and before Miss Mc-
Eachin could draw a long breath he
was on his way.
He arrived July 31. Although Hutch
eson had said he was from Battenberg,
he had ail the dash country girls usual
ly associate with v the big cities, and
Miss McEachin lost her heart in less
time than it takes to shuck a corn.
When her parents got an inkling of the
romance they put In strenuous objec
tions and the pair pretended to be re
signed to their verdict.
The actual wooing, the parental ob
jection and the pretended resignation
all came in one day. Hutcheson said
he’d be on his way home, heartbroken
and discouraged. Miss McEachin said
she'd see him off, and went to the sta
tion with him. while her parents flat
tered themselves on her implicit obe
dience.
They Elope and
Are Married Here.
But instead of seeing her advertis
ing sweetheart off, she got on the train
with him and they came to Atlanta.
On August 1 they were married by Jus
tice of the Peace Orr, and spent the
first days of their honeymoon at a ho
tel in this city. Then they decided to
go back to Denton and brave the pa
rental wrath.
They got there Sunday morning, and
Hutcheson announced that he had a
pressing business engagement many
many miles away. He left S2O with his
bride, and a score of kisses, and de
parted.
On August S the young bride, dream
ing of the far away husband, got «
letter—a letter that sent her romanct
