C., was Jailed yesterday after noon as tho result of an anonymous letter to a young lady in which lie requested her acquaintance with a view to matriinony. und described himself as an "English gentleman, romantically inclined." Miss May linker, of 110 Plum street, was the recipient of the let ter, and tho arrest of the preacher was duo to her. Wearing a little how of white ribbon, which the romantic, preacher had chosen as a means of identification, she went to tho post office about 12."0 o'clock, followed by Detective Hollingsworth, and Fer rell was arrested when in her com pany. The story was told in court yester day afternoon. "Some time ago 1 advertised in the newspapers for a position as book keeper, and signed my name as 'Anx ious,' " said .Miss Baker, who seemed to enter into the humor of the situa tion. "When 1 went home Tuesday night I found a letter there for me. When I read it 1 decided to turn it over to he police department, and the arrest, followed, as Detectives Newell and Hollingsworth have told you The letter was written on tablet paper and covered nearly two pages. Hear Madam," was tho rather frigid salutation, and the tone of tho epis tle did not wann up for several lines. "I have seen your ad in the paper," was the substance of the note, "and you must not he shocked, and if you don't agree to what I say you must keep it a secret. I am an English gentleman. romantically inclined, and l want to commit matrimony, l want to meet you with a view to com mitting matrimony. Meet me at the post otllce and wear a little how of white ribbon on your left side or shoulder, if we don't like each other (hen there is no harm done. I will treat you with the utmost respect.

The man isa preacher, and bi4 bas a license "Marris go license?" asked the judge, while a general laugh rippled over the court room. "Still I don't seo where lie has broken any law. Ile ls not married, and it seems to me he ls just one of those romantic galoots. I dismiss the case." "Judge, caa I have m.\ letter re turned back to me?" was the hasty and anxious Inquiry ol' tho defendant. "lt's the property of the lady. I have nothing to do with lt." "And I," said Miss Baker, with (ir ni ness and a twinkle as she looked at thc romantic ICllgllsh gentleman, "nm going to keep it for a souvenir of tho occasion." Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is hy constitutional remedios. Deafness ls caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is Inflamed you have i rumbling sound or I m pe rofe! hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deaf ness is the result, and unless the In flammation can bc taken out and Ibis tube restored lo its normal condition hearing will he destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an In flamed condition of the mucous sur faces.

Boston, Mass., Nov. 2-The indict ment presented by the grand Jury against Kev. C. V. T. Hicheson is in part as follows: "The jurors on their oath present that Clarence V. T. Uicheson, on the l i til day ol' October, in and upon ono Avis Linnell, feloniously, wil fully and of his malice aforethought, did make an assault and give in some way and manner, to tho jurors un known, a large quantity of a certain deadly poison, called cyanide of po tassium, well-knowing tl - lo be a deadly poison, with the tent that said Linnell should ti and swallow down tho same im her body, and that the said lr. ii Ul take and swallow doAMi into her body tho cyanide of POtasui i so given, the said Linnell no ]!.%' n% the same to be a deadly r.

The fourth count takes up another phase of the matter, going on to say that Richeson gave Miss Linnell the poison, pretending to her that lt was ii medical preparation which would overcome her pregnant condition, "said Hicheson well knowhjfc the same not to he such a medtcJHrepa ration, hut well knowing it tor be a deadly poison."

CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP. A + - H? 4? (By Mattie May Morgan.) ?J? .|? ?J? ?J? ?|? ?J? ?J? oj" ?J* *J? ?J? ?J? ?J? (Paper read before tho missionary meeting recently held in the Wal halla Methodist Church.) Martin Luther said, "If any one would knock on the door of my breast and Bay, 'Who lives hero?' I would not say 'Martin Luther,' but 'the Lord Jesus Christ.' " Paul must have felt In a Blngulai way when ho declared, 'I am cruci fied with Christ; nevertheless I live yet not I, but Christ liveth In me;' and Paul believed that every disci plo should recognise the divine own ershlp of his lifo when he said, "Y( are not your own, for ye are bough' with a price; therefore glorify Go( In your body, and in your spirit,' and "I beseech you therefore, breth eron, by the mercies of God, that y< present your bodies a living sacri flee, holy, acceptable unto God, whlcl is your reasonable service." This lordship of Jesus Christ au plies not only to our lives, hut to al our power and to all our possessions "for the earth Is the Lord's, and th fullness thereof, the world and the that dwell therein.Phe silver I mine, and the gold is mine, saith th Lord of Hosts, and the cattle upon thousand hills." And when th spirit came in great power upon th early church, it is written of HUM that "not one of them said th; ought of the things he possessed wa his own." There is no doubt In that Jesus Christ regards himself i the owner ol' our lives. llave w recognized his Lordship? If. then. God is the owner of or lives, we are stewards, not owner "Thou shalt remember the Lon for it is He that giveth thee pow? to get wealth." Therefore, our ll lng should ho upon a stewardshl basis, embracing all we keep as wc as what we give, all of our metho( of gain, the use of our time, of 01 strength, and of our talents. We r member the parable of the hons holder who let out his vineyard husbandmen, and when he desiri some of the fruits of his own lani he sent his servants for them, h they were beaten, and when he se others, they were slain. Finally 1 said, "I will send my son; sure they will reverence him," b"i (ti '.n' was hi ?ed Then the land \y Lakoh [ron (be unjust steward Ti reminds. u; that when the Jev?!S fa nd in the terina, ol sfewai.)-.nj carefully outlined in tithes and off< ings, tho land,was taken from the and they were scattered abroad. There are some few general pr: ciplos that should control our ghi to-day : 1. Cod should have first pla not last. How many of US obsoi this in our daily life, and when, the beginning of a season, we ino out a long list of tilings we want a must have, stop first and plan wi we shall give to Hod? This does! mean we shall deprive ourselves everything. Dr. Josiah Strong sa "All the money which will yield larger return of usefulness in world, by being spent on on rsc 1 or families, is used for thc glrtry God, and is better spent than gi to missions; but whatever moue spent on self that would have yi< ed larger returns of usefulness otl wise, is misspent, and, If it ls d intelligently, is a case of embez ment." "The first of the first fri of the land thou shalt bring unto house of the Lord thy God." 2. Giving should be intolligi not thoughtless. This means should study the needs of our bri ers and sisters at home and aim When we know, we aro concern but so often we do not know, and do not want to know, the sn ff erl Of others. If a tragedy happen! our own little town, we would | anything in our power to help lleve the sorrow of those we 1 Do we think of tho horrible hap] lugs in tho slums of our great cit Do we know about the tiny chip dying there for a breath of fr pure air, while we have Hine money for summer recreation? wo ever think of the worse-thnn erable women in tho heat lien lat No. we are too Indolent to thinl might cause us much worry and some sleepless nights if we rc knew. And if tho I rue fads bu themselves in on our brains hearts wo would give? different! our lime and talents and rcsoun diving ought to bo systeii and proportionate. Some one said, "Not to give regularly is n treat God fairly; not to give prc tlonntoly ls not to treat God ho ly." TO thosc> who would give portionately tithing setting ? one-tenth of all one's Income ommends itself. If wo study Scriptures wo find that tithing always recognition of God's o\ ship of tho whole "And all tithes of the land, whether ol seed Of the land, or of the frit the land, ls the Lord's; it ls unto the Lord."

GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO SI PRICES WHEN YOU GO TO SE THEY APPRECIA' those who failed in this Important duty: "Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Dring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may me meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of Hosts. If I will not open you the win dows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, and there shall not be room enough to receive it." There may be faithful stewardship, but no one has found a better business way of administering one's substance, and tithing would largely solve the finan cial problems ol' the church ?ind mis sions. Dr. Rauschenbusch says the giv ing of one-tenth is not equal propor tion for ?ill. According to what is known as Engel's "Law of Consump tion" in political economy, a man witl) a big Income does not give the same proportion, when he gives a tenth, as Hie man with the small In come, because the proportion spent for food and necessities of life is larger for (lie poor man. If the .low ish law required one-tenth ?is a duty, what should be Hie privilege of the rich? 4. Giving must be Hie measure of our love. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begot ten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not pcirsh, but have everlasting life." r?. La; 'v. ibero cit un Ot b??

There must be a complete shifting of the prevailing idea of the rela tion between expenditure and giv ing. Let us look for a few moments at the comparison. Suppose we frankly ask ourselves a few ques tions. What tloes the United States spend yearly for foreign missions? About twelve millions ol' dol?ais. And yon know for chewing .mini about eleven millions is spent,and for millinery about eighty millions. Do you know that about one-fourth of the wealth of the United Slates is iii (he hands ol' the Protestants, and that we give about one-fourth of a tithe Of a t it li?* of a tithe?. Have you been told that eighty billions of dol lars will evangelize the world in this generation, and Hint for each Prot estant that would be one-fourth ol' a cent a day? After pondering over these quest ions, let us not ice for a few moments what other Christians who have just beard ibis old-new Gospel arii doing: Tlic Moravians give two dollars per member to foreign missions. Do you know that many converted hea then give one-tenth ol' their income to the Lord's work? In the Korean churches it is customary to make offerings ol' time as well ?is money, each member staling how many days lie will devote to evangelistic work. Some Koreans have mortgaged their houses so that mortgages may ho removed from Hod's house, ir wo could only reach Hie point where each one ol' us cared enough for thc redemption of Hu?
