Soon after the opening of ths p

did not make this disclosure, but said
Ci
that he had sent several telegrams after
the witness and would like a little ^
time to ascertain the result of these ^
messages. Without disposing of the ^
question, the court took a recess until
afternoon. u
A large crowd was in attendance ia \
the court room when the case was called.

Comment was made on the fact that s
Mr. Durette, the chief witness, should si
have gone to Ronceverte, where thi r(

weeks ago and from which city lthey
returned. The afternoon session S

Resigns Missionary Presidency.
Des Moines, Iowa. Special.?Rev.
Washington Gladden, of Columbus, 0., ^
resigned the presidency of the American
Mission Society, perhaps the great- t]
est home missionary organization In ^
the country. The new duties of moder- (]

Prof. W. E. DuBois, of Atlanta Universitv,
(colored), created a sensation f
by a statement in his address that the &
rise and education of the ambitious ^
young negro student is a menace to the tJ
security and class superiority of the b
rich, the well-born and white. He said
c<
the negro problem is only a phase of .
the greater problem of class distinction.
The greatest crime of the United States ri
he said, is stealing, which is manifest- ti
ed in the arrogation of special privi- d
leges by the well-to-do and the whits
over the poor and the black man. 11

from the Russian front says the <

Rival Portraits of Parker and
Roosevelt. .. Respectively?Peculiar
Qualifications of Each for the Presidency
Urged ? Parker's Guiding
Trait His Constant and Unswerving
Devotion to Duty*?Roosevelt's Vip?
tues Innumerable.
New York, Special.?Former Presiient
Grover Cleveland in McClure's for
November gives his personal estimate
jt Judge Parker as a candidate for
President. He says of him in part:
"We sometimes find features of char^
icter so prominently visible in a man's
mental organization that, like the features
of hi3 countenance, they need no
proof of their existence. This is preeminently
true of Judge Parker's intent
deliberation in reaching conclusions
and his inherent judicial conservatism.
These qualities of his mind
are so distincly apparently that they *
are at onj?e seen and known by all who
gain the slightest knowledge of the
man. This should make it thoroughly
understood that those who love presidential
pyrotechnics must look elsewhere.
"I have known Alton B. Parker for
more than twenty years. He impressed
jjic oil uur nisi atiiuaxuvouw ?u a e*Mcere,
honest and able man, and this impression
has, with, time and observation,
grown to clear and undoubtlng
conviction. I am sure that I venture
nothing in making the positive assertion
that the guiding trait of his character
is his constant and unyielding devotion
to duty.
"Judge Parker's experience in judicial
investigation, added to his natural
aptitude in the same direction,
cught to satisfy the most cautious and
exacting of his abundant ability to discover
in the light of constitutional requirements,
and in the atmosphere of
enlightened but conservative . Americanism,
the manner in which a President
should best serve his. countrymen.
"I am persuaded that the American
people will make no mistake if they
place implicit reliance in Alton B.
Parker's devotion to duty, in his clear
perception of the path of duty, in his
steadfast persistency against all temptation
to leave the way where duty
leads, and in his safe and conservative
conceptions of presidential responslhllties."
In McClure's for November, Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge gives a
glimpse of President Roosevelt as h?^
soes him. He says of him:
"No man has lived the life of his
time so amply as he; no one has
shown humanity in so many phases,
no one has wider sympathies or so
many interests. It would be worse
than idle for anyone, no matter how
intimate his knowledge, to fancy that
he could depict a character so manysided,
so tried and tested in such
?? '???m within thrt
muiuiurm cApcucuvw,
space allowed me here. His daily
life does not differ in any respect
from that of any other very busy man
of great energy, who finds rest and
relief not only in active out-of-door
life, but in a wide and constant reading
of books?a habit, by the way,
quite as characteristic as an yother,
but of which the newspaper critics
and humorists tell us little.
"Theodore Roosevelt apprehends
very quickly. When he has thought a
subject out thoroughly and knows
what he means to do, he acts promptly.
