He Admits the Uurdei of Kiss Avis Liu a el I to Ease' Conscience Boston Mass.,.. Jin; 6. The Rav. Clarence V. T.- Richeson. has oonfessed that he kilted Miss Avis Linnell, the Ayannis fehoir singer, for whose murder hejuasto have been placedrcntrial here on Jan nary 15, His confession was first made public today, -bbt the con fession itielf waa made by Riche son to William A. Motie, one of his attorneys, on January 8 in the Ctll whioh the former pastor oc cupied in the Charles Street jail. Uichison admits his full guilt of the oharge made against him in the indictment, that he v killed Avis Linnell by givin&ber cyan ide of Potassium. Tha confession follows: 1 "Deeply penitent for, my sins and honestly desiring. , as far Sinn and honestly desiring as far atonement, 1 hereby confess that I am guilty of the offense of which I stand indicted. I am - moved t ; to this course by no inducement of self-benefit of leniecy. Hein ous as is my crime, God - has not wholly atandened me and my conscience and manhood, however depraved and benighted, will not amit of my still furtheriwronging by a public trial her whose purt young life I have destroyed.: Un der the lashings of remorso'I have suffered the tortures of 3ho dam ned. In this I Snd a measure of comfort. In my mental anguish I reoognize there is still in the meroy of the Master sme rem nant of the divine spark; of good ness still lingering with me. I could wish to live only because within seme prison wall I might in some small measure redeem my sinful past, help some mother d it- pairing soul and at last and favor with my God." . v The confession, which is ad dressed to his counsel, conclodts with instructions for its deliver ance to the district k attorney or the judge of tha court. Tte confession of th brilliant young Virginia cierg yman was a great surprise to i the dis trict attorney who has consistent ly stated that he expected Ric he son to go to trial January 15. The confession of Uicheson can not save him from a sentence of death. If he pleads guilty of murder in the first degree Mon- day tne law gives tne lastioe no alternative than to sentence the former pastor to death in the electrio chair. - The defen e will then rely on Govenor Fobs aud his executive council for clemen cy- Bfr- Pat Your Money In i Bank. It is good advice which a Col leton Ccunty, b. 0., exohang gives in urging farmers to start bank accounts this fall, no mat ter how small the amount left over-after tne year 's debts- are paid. We quote: "If one keeps money in his pocket, it is likely to go and he will never know now it goes, so though yrfu have only ten dollars in your pocket, go to one of on banks and start a bank account To have money in a ' bank wil give one a feeling ot independence nothing else can give. Do not think that because you have only five or ten dollars to start an ao- count the cashier will not want your deposit. Any cashier wil gladly welcome you as a depositor if you have but one dollar." We hope thousands of our read era will follow tnis excelieut counsel. Having a bank account (1) encourages the saving habit (2) dignifies the farmer by making him more oi a "business. man, (6) provides a better syst9m o paying out money toan speoie payments, (4) helps the common ity in which one lives, and (6 makes it easier for the depositor to borrcw in case borrowing in stead of depositing sometimes be comes advisable. .

It is usually easy to tell a case of late or advanced con sumption, but at this--stage the disease ip rarely curable. What we want, is to be able to detect, if possible, the early or very early stages of the disease as it is then that consumption is most curable. A case of very early con sumption may generally be cured after two or three months of rest, fresh air and suitable feeding, while an ordinary eariy case will re quire perhaps six months. About 80 per cent., of the early and very early leases are readily curable with proper treatment. As a case develops however, the chance of a cure decrease, until in the more advanced cases only 25 per pent, of the cases can be cured. It is difficult to discover early consumption. The cases that have fever, night sweats, persistent coughing and spitting are late cases an are easily detected. During the first stages of consumption the t atient may not notice that he has any very serious physical dis order. The best indications of consumption are: ' 1. The actual finding of the germ in the spit or the matter coughed up This may be done by means of the microscope. But since it is seldom possible to find these germs in the early stages even if the disease does exist; a failure to find the germs is not a positive proof that con sumption does not exist. 2.- This positive reaction of tuberculin. This test, however, should be used only as a last resort and then only uponthe advice of-a -ctompe tent "physician. 3. Physical changes in the Lungs as indicated by a painstaking examination of the chest. While these methods can only be applied by a physi cian, the average man should become suspicious after one or more of the following symptoms or conditions are noticed. 1. Loss of weight without apparent cause. 2. Lack or loss of general vigor, especially a depressed feeling before eight in the mornintr and after three in the evening, 3. A temperature of less than 98 in the forenoon or more tnan 99 in tne evening should be regarded with suspicion. 4. uatcning one cola on top of, or immediately fol lowing anomer. 5. Coughing for two weeks or longer without apparent cause. 6. Close association with a cougher, or careless con 8umptive within six months or a year. Any one having one of these symptoms or conditions should regard himself with suspicion. He should also consult a reputable physician for an examination at once. A few weeks later may be too late.

Rot Out cf Potitiesr Raleigh, Jan. 6.Witu numerous outbursts of ap plause William; Jenninors Bryan delivered an able a K dreds here tonight -before an audience that taxed thrt capacity of the great nw auditorium. Mr. Bryan de clared trat he realized no iv that there are men in the party who can poll more votes f or-Democracy than he and that he will apply him self to more earnest work for them than he ever did when burdened with - personal candidacy; that he has aban doned the expectation of office, but is bjr no means out of politics. Mr. Bryan's theme was "Progress of the World in Intelligence, Morals and Application of tjie Science of Representative Government." His was an eloquent re view of educational progress the world over. He regreted lack of progress in hi&'t de clared reform for election of United States Senators by the people and declared that both parties must stop sham battles on this subject and go in patriotically for, df iv ing corporations and special interests from control of the United States Senate, and pass the bill for the people to elect Senators and lets its adoption be optional witji the State. An eloqnent feature of Mr. Bryan's address wan .his, review of the prosecutious i of representatives of "special interests" and trusts1 aud in' vestigatioas into icommerciai conspiracies against the inter ests of the people andi ex pressed the; hope that -the use tneir present maioruy t m j . control for pushing these -in vestigations into many need ed avenues.
