MILITANTS BURN CH1RCH. r Applying: Torch to Beautiful Si Catherine's.?Vandals not Caught London, May 6.?While the members of the house of commons were entering parliament this afternoon to J! AV ~ U1SCUB5 iuc nuuiau sum age umo, V newsboys thrust "extras" at them, announcing what seems to be the most ft destructive work the militant suffra^-gettes have yet accomplished. St. Catherine's church at Hatcham, in the (Southeastern part of London, one of ; ie finest church edifices in the suburbs, caught fire soon after noon in a mysterious way and was destroyed. Tie interior of the church, which was Built in 1893, was like a seething furnace a few moments after the flames were discovered. The roof fell in ha^f an hour afterwards and the tumbling masonry seriously injured a fireman. rpv-~ rto T?ct- Hnward _T Trus i J-i^ vivai) vuv xw ? AAW .. V4 cott, ^when asked about the cause of ^.the fire, said: "I can not ascribe it to any other than those delightful ladies." The vicar visited the church at noon "when he noticed three women in the building. He supposed them to be praying. He now believes that theyi fc arranged the fire and thinks explosives J pf must have been used to aid in the destruction. An attempt to explode a bomb wasi made early this morning, outside th-e Grand hotel opposite Trafalgar square, "where suffrage disturbances took place on Sunday. The hotel was crowded with American tourists. A policeman saw a woman deposit a can with a lighted fuse in front of the door. He extinguished the'fuse and| uirsued the woman. He arrested aj ?^nroman whom he supposed to be the culprit, and who when brought up in court gave her name as Ada Ward. \ Investigation proved her to be a night prowler, who had often been brought up in the police court, sne aemeai planting the bomb, which disappeared V while the policeman was chasing her.

V^OlULLiUlct ACLUiu, i The first definite information con- j cerning the whereabout of the negro ^ desperado and triple murderer, Richard Henry Austin, was received late this afternoon from Savannah. The j headquarters of the Bronson railway at that city is in receipt of advices J that the negro has been located in a house near Kilson, Ga., and his cap- , ture will probably be consummated. , Kitson is near Sylvania, Ga., where many false clues have been run to ' ground. 1 One thing that makes the informa tion from K^.son, Ga., probable is the 1 fact that a wounded negro, giving his 1 name as Austin, visited the home of another negro near. Sylvania last ? ni^jht. Before the authorities could be 1 notified the negro made his escape. Austin has worked, hunted and fished in the territory around Sylvania for ; the past five or six years and knows every foot of the country. Also, his father lives near the town. * A report received from Clyo, Ga., says that the negro is surrounded in a swamp about 1* 6miles from Savan nah, Ga. The report from Clyo said that a posse and bloodhounds were closely on the track of the black, but 1 reinforcements ungently are neded to : effect his capture. This morning a posse of "16 determined men left Allendale for the Georgia side, where they will assist in the man-hunt Sheriff Morris, of Barnwell county, v^hc was communicated witih this morning in Allendale innrr distance telephone, said tuv ?0 that other tlan the message, from Civo, Os... which was seat by Rural Policeman Alfred Dunbar, he had heard nothing of Austin. It was reported yesterday that a heavily armed negro, supposed to be Austin, and answering lits description in every particular, was arrested at Florence. . Sheriff Morris immediately went to thic city, but found that the arrested man is not the much wanted negro. He returned to Allendale today to be near the center of the manhunt. * Was True of the Two. At a certain meeting in an out-ofthe-way town the only attendants were one little chairman and a citizen of large stature. The ch airman had some resolutions to pass which began by representing that they were presented to a "large and -expectable" gathering of voters. "Hold on," cried the other maL, "we can't pass that, for it 't true. It ain't a large and resp ctr'ile meeting. There's only two of us." "You keep still," com- anded the "v ' x - wily chairman: yit's aiI r -cnt ior yvu are large and I am respc- table-. Yon just keep still." So the resolutions wore , assed without further demur.?We 'dy Telegraph. The Uew Federal Judge. Richmond Times-Dispatcn. If every judical appointee of Pres ident Wilson snail Tiierji uv auuewuo of ability, interests* ; *?adth and capacity for the V ,reat desrrfe as does Charles / South Carolina, sel^ctt-u :-*e ot i the fourth circuit the feuer. l bench will increase greatly in the confidence of the people. In this case the president followed the course of President i Taft who, disregarding all pressure 1 t ? i and casting influence out of the scales, chose the ablest lawyer in South Carolina, if not in the entire district, Henry A. M. Smith, *or a vacancy on the same bench. Judge Woods is a man of many abilities, but he is in no sense a politician. r He was elected associate justice of the supreme court of South Carolina after a strenuous contest, but there ^?'*s Rot then, as there has not been since, the slightest taint on his judical ermine. He is a man of the highest character, a jurist of unsullied record, a man who ha6 lived and walked and wrouffht as be came a judge. The Times-Dispatch desired this appointment to go to a Virginian and exerted its energies to that end but now that those in authority fail to coincide in our view, we are free to j say that no better appointment could | have been made. Judge-Woods is one :>f the ablest leavers and the ablest judge that South Carolina has known in a decade. He was at the bar for 30 years, and for 10 years nas Deen an associate, justice of the highest tribunal of his State. In all that period tie has borne the reputation of being i man and a lawyer of the highest ideals, who observes strictly the loftiest standard of private and public sonduct. The: South Carolina bench 50 years ago was inferior to none in :h?e nation; ;he decisions of its judges ?!ow with fadeless lustre in American jurisprudence. The most notable equity decision of the first half of the last century came frofl! the quill of a splendid South Carolina judge, Davis Lewis Wardlaw. The times have i changed in South C-svrolina, and the )ench has changed with them. Tillmanism ripped the robes off the backs )f most of the able and distinguished judges so that their places might 511ed by "cornfield lawyers" and pea nut politicians. Tne supreme coun svas deliberately packed in order that political doctrines might 'become law. Despite the new order good men have ?one upon the bench there and Judge Woods is one of them. He was elected because of his sheer legal ability. With the spirit of progress guiding his hand, he has written dicisiohs that are milestones in the social, legal and sconomic progress of the State. 'Woods, A. J." at tie bottom of an opinion has been a symbol in South Carolina of the finality of right. Virginia will like her new federal lurtoro TT^. is a n#vrfirma.b1e man. a man o* real culture, the possessor of fine moral and intellectual power. He is a studenut and a friend of learning, a widely read man who keeps thoroughly in touch with the world outside the court room. He is a graduate of Wofford college, one of the fine old Methodist colleges' of the country, and has been one of its trustees. He is an excellent public speaker, especially upon educational themes. Not only because of his position, but also because of his splendid qualities as citizen and man, will he be welcome to "Richmond and to Virginia. Special Summer Trains. Columbia, S.

An undertaker was discussing queer sepultures, says the New York Trihnrifi. ^ "A queer sepulture indeed," he said,, "was that of a German playwright,. Gustave Von Moser. Von Moser kept in his house a costly and beautiful urn. He proposed to he cremated, an4* his ashes were to be put in the urn. afterward. "But the strangest thing about th-a urn was that it contained a little be4; of ashes during Von Moser's life. H? usee, you see, to get a good many laurel wreathes when his new plays we"fc put on, and he would take a spritfrom each wreath, burn it, and drop*. the ashes into the urn. " 'My own ashes,' he would say, 'wilf lie on top. Thus, after death, it may be truly said of me that X am resting jiy laurels.' "
