New Bern is at Goldsboro today. Maybe we will get one game out of the four. Nervous persons are apt to be dis turbed and spend restless moments if they step around much. If we could have had this rain yes. terday New Bern's percentage would not have been so small today. The shopmen of the Pennsylvania Railroad were ordered on at full time beginning with yesterday, July 1. Mr. Hearst lost out in the re-count. What will the lieutenants of Mr. Hearst claim was responsible for that? The blacker the night the more bril. llant and resplendent are the stars that come peeping through its shad ows. The things for which there Is "the devil to pay" are the only sort which most men consider really worth tha price. The coroner's jury In the case of Turner Smith rendered a verdict of justifiable homicide for the killing of Engineer Stultz. The value of education Is not often experienced in dollars and cents. Per haps it is so difficult to measure it with such an exact standard. The -recount In the New York may oralty contest Is doubtless gradually convincing Mr. Hearst that It is often the things we really don't get that makes us happy. .

McCLELLAX. v Once more Mr. W, R. Hearst leaves off where he started.' Ever since the mayoralty election of New York city In 1905, Mr. Hearst has contended that he was duly elected to the office over Mr. McClellan and more than that has done all in his power to bring about a recount of the vote cast In that elec tion. Having gained that point, and the recount made, he now finds him. self just where he started, except he Is out several thousand dollars as a result. Mr. Hearst now claims that . the registration was greater than the poll In every disputed district, and for a time we must hear and read of this kind of stuff. The recount left Mayor McClellan with a plurality of 2,935 whereupon Clarence J. Shearn representing Mr. Jackson, alleged that the bfllot boxes had been stuffed and req ested 4he court to throw out the entire vote of eleven districts, charg ing that the ballots found in the boxes exceeded the number of registered voters. ' This was based on an incor rect list of voters and when the cor. rect list was produced Mr. Shearn said that the registration was greater than the poll in every disputed dis trict. Justice Lambert promptly declined to throw out the contested districts, this broifitrrMr. Shearn forth with a charge that the Inspectors had regis tered an excess number of names but admitted that he could not prove that there was repeating. .Justice Lambert jpade his opinion clear In open court, before the jury declaring that the original count was quite as complete as the one made in court, and that the evidence showed no fraud as far as the election inspec tors were concerned. . He said that if legal voters could be disfranchised so readily as had been attempted in this case, this form of government would not endure long. "If the jury were to return a verdict against Mr McClellan," said Justice Lambert, "1 would not allow it to stand," and he promptly ordered a verdict in favor of the mayor, which was rendered. This should and no doubt will, end a long contention. Mr. Hearst cer tainly can see that the one-man power does" not work, and "things are not al ways what they seem." There were no doubt, thousands and thousands of people in New York, as well as throughout the country, who, if this recound had never have been made, would have died with the belief that Mr. McClellan was holding an office that rightly belonged to.Mr. Hearst This, we think should settle the mat ter, and we hope that the now con. tention that the "registration was greater than the poll," will drop out of sight and hearing. The great pity about the affairs, in New York, to'our mind, Is that there are many men of about the same call bre of Mr. Hearst In that state, and a great many in other states, it would seem. He has a following that is just large enough to encourage him and keep him bobbing up before the public eye every now and then. This lesson just taught by Mr. Hearst's persistence in always making charges against some one, should be studied well, and if it is considered we believe there are many who will hesitate be fore jumping in with him so strongly. Tomorrow, July 3, will bring a date in North Carolina's history, that will be pleasantly remembered by all who witness It, and. will be read with in terest by those who cannot attend. The event will be the presentation of a silver service to the armored cruiser North Carolina, named for this state, and the gift is from the people of this commonwealth." v There should be no dropping back by the people of. the Btate all who can possibly find time, should leave - their business for one day, and join the thousands that wiy be . there to attend this event The presentation will take place off Beau fort Harbor, between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock.

BROTHER CHAMPIONS HER CAUSE: Young Woman Stirred By Announce ment of Former Rector Declares Her Iutentloa of Defending Herself Beiterates Her Testimony. By Wire to The Sun. v ; Washington, D. C, July 2. One of the strangest happenings in the his tory of any city is promised at Ma sonic Hall, Ninth and F streets north west. After ten years of silence, a de posed priest of the Episcopal church, a scholarly man of 60 years, is to pro claim to a public audience of his own summoning, hlsinnocence rof an act which cast a shadow over, the life of a young girl, a communicant of his church. . He is to denounceas hideous false hoods the testimony which convicted him before a court of his clerical peers, and is to plead for the awakening of public sentiment strong enough to compel a reopening of his case, to the end that he may be declared guiltless and restored to position and honor in the priesthood that cast him out. That they will be present in the hall to guard her name and see fair play," is the promise of the. girl's brother and a young man who asserts the right to protect her after the manner of a sweetheart betrothed. Renting of Masonic Hall by the ex- Rev. Gilbert Fearing Williams, for nine years rector of Christ Episcopal church,! n this city, to make a public declaration of innocence, was told of in yesterday's Post. He reaffirmed yes- terday hisdeterminatio n to carry out the program announced. ' The girl upon whose testimony Mr.. Williams wes convicted and deposed from the ministry she is now a ma ture woman of 32 last night gave warning, in white anger "and In tears that if the man she accused dares to read In that hall tomorrow morning the record of his trial, or, so much as breathes her name as one who went astray she will within an hour swear to a warrant for his arrest, Records of the health office show that on January 24, 1897. a boy was born to a girl member of Chist Church. The girl was 20 years of old, communicant of Christ Church, a member of its Sunday school, its choir, its chancel chapter, and its Daughters of the King. An ecclesiastical court, composed of six clergymen of the Pro testant Episcopal Church, diocese of Washington, on March 15, 1898, by a verdict of 5 to 1, pronounced the Rev. Gilbert Fearing Williams' to be the father of this child, and 6n the .same day the bishop of the diocese the Rt. Rev. Henry Y. Satterlee, D. D., carried into effect the sentence of the court by deposing the defendant from the priest hood. " . . . Before, during, and after the trial Mr. Williams steadfastly protested his Innocence of the charge, branded as a composition of lies the testimony on which he was convicted, and ultimately denounced his trial as a proceeding manifestly unfair and prejudiced. He appealed to the civil courts and was s weeplngly sustained. :w i Bishop Satterlee then appealed this decision to the supreme court of the District of Columbia, and it was re versed. Mr. Williams and his friends among the clergy and the laity , used strong endeavors to have tie case re opened, pointing out glaring contradic tions and vital impossibilities in the testimony of wtnesses for the prose cution, and crying out on the verdict of the court as traduclve of common justice and destructive of the useful ness of the Episcopal discipline. Bishop Satterlee remained firm; He refused to reopen the case, and there for ten years it 'has- rested.- '. . ;- -:' i:v.

And Bitting last night in the humble parlor of the home where her family has dwelt for nearly 'sixty years, seeing in all pity -her-dlstre8s, watching as with Judicial eye her emotions, hearing the hot denunciation, of the man she says has embittered her lite, listening to her vows of truth, her solemn dec laration that death's approach could prompt her to change' no single word she "has spoken, noting her refusal to be warned to caution by the man who sat beside her as friend and protector by right hearing her reasons for first shielding, then denouncing the man she named as the father of her dead child, It was hard, Indeed, to think that in anything she said she uttered a He. It was a scene strange In its sad ness, vital in its tragedy, that dim, old fashioned, parlor last night where the one time choir girl told of the ruin of her life. "For my life Is' ruined," she cried, fiercely at first, 'foudly, as one for whom the bitterness of truth lies not In echoes. And the old, gray haired mother, bent, and wrinkled, and broken hearted, came softly to the door tapped timidly and murmured her mes sage of caution. - "Let them hear!" cried the girl; "they may hear to the end of the street, if they can. What I say is the truth, and I don't care wjio hears it! This man, why has he kept quiet these ten long years, if he is innocent? Why does he bring all this up again now when I thought it buried under a ten years' load of such suffering as I have borne because of him- "Put this in the paper! Write that I say that if he reads the record of his trial in the hall on Thursday morning if he so much as mentions my name to slander me 1 will swear out a warrant for his arrest, and no time will be lost Tell him that! Tell the public that, and let them judge If he is fit to be taken back Into the church!" "But say, too, .that I wish him no harm.- Say that If he could prove his Innocence, I would be glad. If he can get back to the priesthood i will put no obstacle in his way. But let him be careful how he deals with my name. I have suffered enough through him. I shielded him I! I swore to my father that he was not the man. You ask me why? To shield him! And he would repay me by trampling my name In the dust v "I did not tell my father who had wronged me until a month after the boy was born until I thought I was soon to die. Then, when I found that he was trying to fasten the guilt on other men, who had never harmed me in my life, I told. And what I told was God's truth. If I knew I was to die tomorrow. I wouldn't change one single word of It, for Its true." "And here's a word from me," said the tall, sunburned, toil hardened man of 30, who sat near her. "I'm going to stand by her through anything. Tell Mr. Williams that. -Tell him I'll be there In that hall Thursday morn ing to see fair play. Tell him to go as far as he likes but to be careful. He better not speak her name." The woman was crying when he fin ished. "I didn't tell on him -till he'd named three other men, who were In nocent," she said, choking back a little the tears. 'Two of them are dead. The other one is or was in China. When he spoke their names, and I thought my time had come to die, I told my father the truth." . v Hours before this, in the late after noon, the old mother had talked of her daughter's sorrow. ; And to her eyes, too, the, tears came, the patient voice nroke, as the terror of a fresh publicity was borne in upon.her. Why does he do it?" she pleaded. "Oh, I thought It was all over and past. But such things never, really are over, are they? As God Is my wit ness I dont know what the truth of it Is. Only those two know that, just those two. "'. . My daughter always, since that day she told my husband who the father of her child was, has stuck to hr story.
