Mrs. Ashcrofts Remarkable Recovery After Taking Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound Tenne-se- e antievolution law. The great evolution trial which opened here on July 10 with the eyes of the world on it, thus came to a dramatic end. The extraordinary trial ended as It began with a prayer. The jury received the case at 11:20 a. m. and returned the verdict at 11:27 a. m. Judge Raulston summoned Scopes before the bar and imposed a fine of $100. Scopes, when asked if he Lad anything to say before judgment was imposed, said: Your honor, I feel that I have been opposing an unjust law. I will continue to support my ideals. Bail for Scopes was fixed at $500. pending appeal of the case to the supreme court of Tennessee at Knoxville. Dudley Field Malone anounced that the Baltimore Evening Sun had offered to go on the bond and the offer had been accepted. Malone thanked the people of Tennessee for their hospitality in permitting this great ease to be held here. For purposes of the record, Hays asked for more than thirty days to prepare the case. Hays said he hopes that no longer than ten days would be needed, but the defense wanted the time in case they needed it. Raulston said thirty days would be enough. If you are not ready then I may extend the time, he said. I want to get this case before the supreme court which meets in September, he added. Hays then moved that judgment be arrested. Dr. A. C. Broyles and Dr, W. F. Thomason stated that death was caused by a hemorrhage of the brain, causing apoplexy. Mrs. Bryan was seated on the porch looking through the screen door during the entire time Mr. Bryan was asleep. She said she thought the Commoner was sleeping longer than usual and did not want to disturb him. Mr. Bryan, who had come here three weeks ago to attend the scopes trial, had spent Saturday at Winchester and Chattanooga, coming here by automobile. At 11 oclock July 26th he attended services at the Methodist Episcopal church, South. He led in prayer and after the benediction went to the home of Mrs. Richard Rogers, where he and Mrs. Bryan have been making their home since coming to Dayton. The dinner hour was spent with Mrs. Bryan. There were no guests at dinner. Mr. Bryan ate with relish, then retired to his room to rest. The exact hour when death came is not known. - Mrs. Stevens, the nurse who-iconstantly with Mrs. Bryan, who for years has been an invalid, passed through Mr. Bryans room at four oclock. She noticed a strange pallor on the face. She bent over him. He was dead. Mrs. Bryan was when told that the end had come for her illustrious husband. A sob, a tear then she took charge of the situation. She addressed messages to their son and daughter, telling of their fathers death. The news spread over the village and countryside; the people of Day-toloved Bryan. He stood as the champion of their cause, for most of these people are Democrats and most of the men of the older generation had voted for Mr. Bryan in liis free silver campaign for the presidency. Mr. Bryan had gone to Chattanooga Saturday to have printed the address he had expected to make before the jury in the scopes trial. lie had not been able to make the address because of the sudden termination of the trial. The address was a defense of the fundamentalists. Saturday, before going to Chattanooga, Mr. Bryan had delivered an address at Winchester, Tenn. He spent the night of July 25th with A. W. Lesley, owner and manager of the Ross hotel, and they motored to Day-tonext morning. Mr. Bryan was cheerful and enthusiastic over the prospect of his latest lecture, which he was scheduled to deliver July 27th.

Canards John Sumner, head of New York's crusaders, was asked by a New York reporter the other day if it was true that he had been trying to get the Bible expurgated. "That story and Mr. Sumner is just about as laughed heartily true as the one they started last month. They said last month, you know, that I was behind a world movement to do away with vice presidents. Mr. Sumner gave another hearty laugh. Then he ended : I guess theyll be accusing me next of trying to pass a law to prohibit boats from hugging the shore. S. anti-vic- e Love is one of the diseases for which the onion is a sure cure.
