Tyser, deputy game warden at Brownsville, arrived here this morn ing to appear before the grand Jury against three men who killed s deer two miles from hrownsville about a week ago. The deer had been run out of the hills by dogs and was standing in s lake when the defendants found it. They fired a few shots st it, only wounding it. The deer went out at the othcr.side of the lake, but the men had no more ammunition. Thereup on, one of the party got his horse, lassooed the deer and dragged it across the lake by the horns and pro ceeded to kill il with a rock. It seems that, Mr. Tyser happened to lias these men as they were bringing the meat into town in their wagon, but lid not discover the deed until the culprits began to hoas-t of the trick some time afterward.

TRAVELS FROM THE ICE OF THE NORTH TO JAMAICA Mission of Character Build ing and Service, the Work of the Secretary. Coming all the way from Boston, he city of beans and culture, Karl .chman, international field secretary the Christian Endeavor Society, spoke several times in Albany yester- lay, last evening at a general meeting at the Christian church. Mr. Lehman had been at the state convention in Eugene. A good naturcd, full-faced German, : is a man who holds one's attention. instantly. Mr. Lehmman's salary and xpenses are all paid by one man, a Mr. Stuart, up in Canada, and his work covers a big field, all the way rom up into the frozen north, amidst he natives to the Gulf ot Mexico and down imo the islands beyond, as well s into Old Mexico. He therefore has had a wonderful opportunity for the real experiences of life, and in his pre lude last night he told of some of them. Probably nowhere did he ever ind such devoted Christian Endeav orer as in Jamaica, where crowds ame as far as nine miles, in otie case 35 people, through a rain, barefooted, with their shoes in their hands, to at- end a sunrise prayer meeting at 6 a. In some cases there would he a ndred or more on the outside not ible to get into the house. ,t pne lace in Alabama he found a church of 148 members, withont'a single per son, including the preacher, who could ead or write. About the best Christian he ever net was an old man in a penitentiary, whe remained when he might leave to work among the convicts, and it was said he was worth a dozen guards. In Christian Endeavor membership he M. E. church leads the world, be sides having a big Epworth League following. In his address Mr. Lehman said here is a twolfold purpose in the lives of the Christian Endeavorer: First to lead the Christian life, sec ond, to train for efficient service. The work of the Endeavorer is to build a strong type of character, one that shall stand the enticements of an amusement loving era. This charac ter, too, calls for a broad face, not long one. for sunshine in the life, ind joy in the service. In Japan the cnerry trees are an 'ilossom. without any cherries, very nuch like the lives of many people. Mr. Lehman spoke for the new in ternational building going up in Bos ton and a liberal collection was made for it. He said though that the most liberal contributions in the world for It. had come from the Fejee Islands, iboiit $2.60 a member. Before going into the work twelve years ago Mr. Lehman was an acto on the stage, and he continues to be a good actor, withal a man completely consecrated to his work. Previous to the address last evcrt g. a fine banquet was served in the basement of the Christian church with chicken pie as the central at traction of the menu. PICTURES WORTHY OF A CROWDED HOUSE The Democrat is pleased to com mend the wild animal life pictures of Salisbury, being given at the Rolfe. They are worthy of packed houses at nil the sessions.
