Samuel McCue was arrested on the charge of wilfully and premeditatedly murdering his wife last Sunday night. The arrest was made while citizens generally were attending the public session of the coroner's jury. The warrant was sworn out by Special Police Justice A. D. Dabney and served by two policemen of the city.

Mr. McCue made no resistance and is now in the city jail. When McCue was arrested he submitted to being searched by the officers, and kissed his four children good-bye. He said to them: "By the grace of God I will come out of this trouble all right." Mr. McCue stated that he was assaulted and his wife murdered on last Sunday night.

His story immediately aroused suspicion. His testimony and that of others before the coroner's jury strengthened the suspicion against him and the arrest followed.

The remaining stages of 19 miles, the distance required to be made, was covered by 8:30, and we were gratified in seeing such 8 marked im provement in paving of streets and new side walks, in Frederickeburg.

Onward we sped, and meeting 8 pleasant companion time was shortened, and our friend, wearied with waiting in his carriage, met us with 8 cordial Quaker greeting, and the remaining even miles were made over good graded roads and at 11:30 we landed at Corinth Academy. One very short nap it seemed before we were summoned to breakfast, after which some time was spent in reviewing this school building, a recently completed structure, accommodate the increased number of students and faculry. Nearby is the church and a very neat residence for the pastor. Since these buildinge were commenced lands have increased from 25 to 50 per cent. in valuation in that vicinity.

A pleasant ride on the electric care of one hour, brought us to Richmond, where we were greeted by cordial cousins and dined. At four o'clock, whilet awaiting our train, Dr. Fielding Ashton greeted us cordially and we were pleased to see him interested in seeing a King George friend and desirous we should not go estray.

MARYE MAKES OTHER INTERESTING POINTS. Washington, D. September 7th, 1904. I have heard learned divines discourse, with unction and satiefaction, upon "God in History." I mean no disrespect, when I declare that all such efforte seem the very apotheosis of sophistry. Of coure, God is in history.

He rules the universe. But the main contributions to history -the deeds of men-He over This earth is soaked in blood; and scarred all over with the marks of carnage. God is in it all; and againet it all. Hisown Son is the Prince of Peace. Ever since He spoke his gentle worde to men, they have been burlesquing them by their deeds.

Why, when John, the Apostle of love, lost his temper, and, in the spirit of Elijab, wanted our Saviour to call down lightning upon the village in the Samaritan land, Jesus told him he utterly mistook the fundmental idea of His mission. (Dean Stanley says that Christ's rebuke was retrospective, as well, and touched the Carmel incident.) Analyze the Lord's prayer: "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven:" areimilation," at the cannon'e mouth! "National which aggresion, which means injustice! (Analyzing into travesty The United States is pursuing no novel course. She le treading the dreary, track of the nations toward conquest, grandizement, ultimate overthrow. "He eball judge the nations upon earth." There is no glory in war. (A war if defence is a cruel neceseity.) "War is hell." And a nation, whose supreme conrt has de fined it as a "Christian nation," is in a strange attitude in raising hell.

Mr. Samuel Howison used to say that war meant down in an old field, with the sun horse's blazing loot in in your your mouth. face, and And it with could a not have been more bappily defined. This country would find the highest wisdom in striving after the beatitude of the peace maker. God save us from that of a bully among nations! The dent derides the Quakers; but he cannot prove that, if Christendom had followed their tenets, the millenium would not bave sway, to-day; with the Son of Man living amonget us.

There is no line, outside of Shakespeare, more luminous with benignant philosophy than that of the great German writer: "Happy is the nation whose annals are tedious. I living in Little Rock, John Morrisey stopped there, upon his way to the Hot Spring. Soon his arrival was noised aboard, when every Irishman at once betook himself to a friendly "mill" with the first countryman he could waylay. Old Mike cabey, meeting Con Hoolihan, this colloqny ensued: "Now, Con, there's Bobby Lay (Lee); 8 fine old mon. Thirty years ago, he could have put on the gloves, and stood up before ye the whole day.

And there'e Shairman. Shairman's no oghtist; but he's great tacktishian. And, Con, there's that murtherin' Stonewall Jackson, as fine a lod as ye'd mate with in a day's march. And, Con, Gront's a stout lod for ye. Gront could put on the gloves, and stand up before ye a couple of hours.

But, Con, me bhye, what could aither of them do in the hands of John Said Con, as quick as a flash: jabbers, John would ate them."
