FOR BEfflM
STRANGE WJLL MADE BY
ENGLISH NONCONFOE
MIST PREACHER.
Ordered Tliat His Body be Cre
mated and The Ashes be
Scattered Over tbe Vati
can in Order to Purify
--Son Carrying Out
This Request.
Paris, Nov. 26. Not long ago a
, well-known London nonconformist
preacher, now deceased, celebrated
during his lifetime for his violent
antipathy to the Church of Borne,
left injunctions by will that after
death his body was to be cremated
and the ashes sprinkled over the va
iican, with the object of "purifying"
it. He charged his son to carry out
this request.
The young man iaithfully obeyed.
The body was cremated, the ashes
were put into a box, and the long
journey from London to Borne be
gan.
At Milan, however, the box con
taining the precious ashes myster
iously disappeared. No trace of it
could be discovered, and there was
nothing to do but return to London.
The preacher's son is now in Paris,
aDd makes no secret of the fact that
he anticipates a far from pleasant re
ception by his relatives"whenever he
can make up his miud to cross the
channel.
Montague-Wells.
A quiet but beautiful home wed
ding was solemized in this citv this
afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the home

beautiful and accomplished vouno-
daughter of Mr. Mark Wells, Rev.
J . W. Gardner officiating.
Only the immediate family and a
tew invited guests were present to
witness the ceremony, which wa
solemn and impressive.
Xhe bridal presents were manv
and beautiful and attest the hitrh
esteem in which the happy young
coupie are held by their lesion of
'
irienas.
Immediately after the ceremonv
the happy young couple reparied to
the home of the groom over at
bcottsville, where a delightful re

Mount, where the groom holds a re
sponsible position in the A. C. L
Shops, and where they will make
their future home."

friends in wishing them long life and
happiness always. ,

POPULATION OF THE
WORLD-.
Dr. Supan estimates the popula
tion of the world at 1,503,290,000, or
in plain words, one and a half bil
lion. Asia is credited with 820 mil
lions, or more than half the earth's
total; Europe, with 392 million;
Africa, with 140 millions; North
America, with 105 millions; South
America with 38 millions; Australia
and Polynesia, with 6 millions. No
previous estimate had named so
large a total, but Dr. Supan main
tains that the latest reports confirm
to a certain extent his figures.
Accurate confirmation of world
figures is impossible, because no
actual counts are taken in the greater
parts of Asia, Africa and South
America. At the best a world's
census is but a guess, but it may
well be that the guess of Dr. Supan
is better than any other man's guess.
However, it is best to have some
population figures of the world, and
iu the absence of any better we may
have to accept those put out by Dr
Supan. A billion and a half is per
. haps as good a round estimate as we
can secure, and so we may well
mark up our figures to that great
total. The American Geographical
society at any rate endorses the pop
ulation figures of Dr. Supan by pub
lishing them in a bulletin.
Runaway Accident.
Mr. Ross Cox, who lives near the
Johnson county line, was painfully
ii not seriously hurt in a runaway
near xxr. iop Uoor's mill late yes
terday evening.
He was sitting on a load pi lumber
which he was hauling, when his
team became frightened at a run
away horse hitched to a buggy,
throwing him forward on thedoubie
tree. While in this position unable to
liberate himself or check the fright
ened animals, he was kicked and
bruised in a horrible manner.

he educational advancement
social refinement of the present age
is strongly confronted and combatted
by the criminal instinct which is
taking a most alarming hoid upon
the human race.
It cannot be easily understood
why, in all centers of large popula
tion, criminal spasmodic manifesta
tions continue to so freauentlv ap
pear. Au abnormal development of
crime just now appears in the old
world as well as in the new. Great
Britain is alarmed at statistics on
crime there presented and even the
little kingdom of Denmark, where
one-half the population is rural and
where education is universal and re
ligious convictions are profound, Js
suffering as she has never done be
fore. '
Murder and moral disorders are
afflicting Italy, Spain, France and
Belgium, to say nothing of the sav
age misdeeds daily perpetrated in
, Russia.
It can hardly be stated with truth
that the human race as a whole is
degenerating. The trouble seems to
be with individuals. The human
race is increasing in numbers and
rapidly covering the face of the
earth. Human activities have be
come intense and complex, and thus
more ways are open for crime. Mio-M.
and power are always dangerous,
even though they be necessary to
accomplish great ends.
The inventive genius of this o-Q
has much to do with deeds of viol
ence. There are more people with
greater opportunities to do things
they should not do, and vet therP i
more good in this world of ours than
there ever was before.
Disregard of property rights and
for human life must be checked by
the strong arm of the law, if moral
suasion loses it power.
Richmond, Va., Nov. 24. Vir
ginia 12; North Carolina 11..
These figures give, the net result of
one of the prettiest games ever
played in Richmond, and which
proved the most exciting of the
many annual meetings of the rival
universities.
At least fifteen thousand persons
saw the game twice as many, per
haps, as ever gathered on a similar
occasion, and they got their money's
worth. Not until the call of time at
the close of the second half was any
one sure v hat the result would be.
The win l was a great factor in the
game, and but for thetVpractice of
changing goals after each touchdown,
the side in whose favor it was blow
ing would have proven invincible.
The star of the game was Car ren
ter, North Carolina's great risrht half
back. He is t Virginia;" man and has
long been 'p&tuiueub id 'Tdotbttrcir
des. He was responsible for one
of North Carolina's touchdowns, and
his punting was magnificent. Car
penter was several times injured dur
ing the game, but pluckily stuck it
out to the end.
For Virginia the star work wa
done by Council, the team's captain 1

were made by him, and his work
was of the highest order.
The game was noticeably less
rough than in years gone by, al
though several men were slightly
hurt and gave place to substitutes.
In the Virginians' ranks, Randolph
at left half back was hurt, Dankford
took his place and Paul succeeded
Lankford at full back.
North Carolina had to put in two
substitutes. Wright succeeded Town-
send at left end and Roberson at
fullback gave place to Wiuborne.
The teams were so nearly even in
weight that no one was able to ac
complish much bucking. Bucking
the line, punting and round the end
plays were responsible for most of
the gains.
A few moments before the end of
the second half the score was 11 to
11 and, Warren for Virginia dropped
back to kick goal. The ball flew
through the air and would have
missed its object had not Carpenter,
of North Carolina, in attempting to
block it, forced it through the goal.
