In October of the same year another meeting was held in Indianapolis, when the organization was perfected. . Its pur poses were fully defined and it was incorporated under the State law as the "Westert Association of WTriters.w The association met with the adverse criticisms of certain literary critics who think nothing good in literature can come from the rowdy West," but it has grown and prospered from the first, and the organization has developed into a strong,. healthy body, whoso influence is felt, not only on the literature of the West, but throughout the country, and its membership now includes many of the best writers in this and adjoining States.

Young Carlson Unhesitatingly Points 111m Out as Frank Williams. Winnipeg, Man., July 9. In the Burke ex tradition case John M. Broderick, a detective of Chicago, said there had been no reward offered for Burke's capture. Charles J. Carlson, whose evidence was required to complete tho story of Burke's alleged connection with Dr. . Cronin's murder, and who arrived from Chicago by the noon train, was next called to testify. After he had been sworn Mr. Howell asked: "Do you know the prisoncrl"4 -. Yes " "Where is he!" "There." said Carlson, pointing his hand directly at the prisoner, who was sitting alongside of Mr. Perdue. "W hat is his name?' ' asked Mr. nowcll. "To ma Jiia name is Frank Williams " i said Carlson. . That was the point the prosecution de sired to establish namely, "that Frank Williams and Martin Burke were one and the same man. When Carlson entered the witness-box, Burke hung his head, aud . when the witness pointed him out and nt- ' tered the name Frank Williams; a deep blush suffuse Burke's face. ' ! '.. W ltness then proceeded to tell the story of the renting 01 the Carlson cottage bv the Drisoner. Being cross-eTumined hv .Mr.. Purdue, the witness said he had been taken out into the court-house yard by oflicer Collins before coming into court to see if he could recognize any body coming out of the jail, and he had recognized the prisoner. He also had recoguized tne prisoner from a group photographed in Chicago. By the timo Mr. Purdue got through with the witness it was C o'clock, and Mr. How ell expressed tho supposition to his lordship that he would not take any more evidence until to-morrow. The Judge replied that if the prosecution had any more evidence to put in they had better do so at once, as he was disposed to go on. After a brief consultation Mr. Howell said: "That's our case, your Lordship." This announcement was received with satisfaction, and even Burke entered a sigh of relief. Judge Bain asked Mr. Campbell if he desired to put in any evidence in behalf of Burke, and Campbell stated that he did not.

The National German Teachers Association began its nineteenth annual convention this evening at the North-side Turners' HalL Tho association is composed of the teachers of German in the pnblio and private schools of the country, and includes very many prominent educators. Between two and three hundred persons were present to-night, a very large majority of whom were ladies. The convention was opened by the chairman of the Chicago Citizens' committee on arrangements, Justice Max Eberhart llis address, which was a scholarly production, discussed the objects of the organization, which were not to make Germany out of America, but to preserve and conserve to tho Americans of German blood aud to all Americans the rich fruits of German thought and German culture, both in literature and the arts. They could be none the less Americans while re taining and cultivating an appreciation of their ncn heritage as oermans. Mayor Cregier made an address of welcome, eulogizing the vocation of teachers.

They Interpret the Bible to Suit Their Peculiar Belief, and Disregard Sunday. Columbia, S. C, July 9. A correspondent of the Southern Christian Advocate gives the following particulars of a new religious community developing in the eastern part of South Carolina: Some years ago a man named Boyle, who had been a Methodist, and who resided near Lynchburg, in Sumter county, conceived the idea of founding a new sect. His followers were at first called "True-light Baptists," but they are commonly known as MBoylites." They have spread upon both sides of Lynch's river, through Sumter, Darlington, Kershaw and Chesterfield connties and perhaps further, taking hold of the lowest and most ignorant classes. It is not a large denomination, and can never be so, but its followers are very stubborn in their belief, so that -it is almost impossible to reclaim one of them, fheir most prominent and popular doctrine is that it is an unpardonable sin for a preacher to receive pay for his work, and this closes their ears to the eftorts of the regular ministry. They have no regular ministers, but claim that every member of thcir church is inspired of God to interpret the Scriptures, thus making every one of both sexes ministers of the gospel. It is not uucommon for women to preach among them. Another favorite dogma is that they constitute the only true followers of God. and that all other denominations are heading straight for the devil. They believe in immersion, of course, but with this distinction, that it must be administered by one of thcircommnnion to be of any avail. They reject tho Old Testament entirelv. and receive only such portions of the New Testament as suit their purpose, rejecting any passages that are opposed to their peculiar beliefs as uninspired. They claim that the observance of the Sabbath was abrogated along with the Levitical law, and hence reject Sunday as a day to be observed in the worship of God. They perform ordinary work on Sunday, or engage in any sports they desire, and have been seen fiddling ami dancing on that day. They believe in tho damnation of the infants of unbelievingthat is, non-Boylite parents, who dio in infancy. They "believe in the social equality of the races. Just what elso they believe the correspondent is unable to say. They flourish around Marshall Church in the East Kershaw circuit, and have churches of their own in soinn portions of Kershaw county. As a rule, dense ignorance prevails where they flourish. I heard a man say not long since that he onco taught a school in a neighborhood whero they now claim the majority of the people as their adherents, and that only two of tho sixty pupils in his school knew their letters wheu they first came to him. Generally, they will not permit a minister of the gospel to read the Scriptures or engage in prayer in their houses, and if they concede that much to . him, they laugh and talk while he prays, and pay no attention whatever to him.

Clearing rats out of several larire build ings by the use of ferrets recently started . 4 it t A r At seme queer stories oi tne relations oi tne ferret and the rat, which have excited the derision of a retired rat-catcheror, rather. rat exterminator. lie is a man who has prosecuted his calling in all the largo cities of the country, and once had the honor of being employed by the government to clean out the United States Treasury building at Washington. T see." lie 6aid. m telling his version of ferret vs. rat, 'th at someone has discovered that a rat won't hght a ferret, and that the moment the ferret gets close to him the rat gives up. Ihat'saqueer yarn lor a truthteller. Come along and Fll let you see for yourself. I'm out of the business, but I nave a couple of ferrets, and I've an accommodating friend who'll lend me a couple of rats.'7 The two went to the ex-rat-catcher 3 resi dence where he brought from the cellar a cage similar to those in which rat exter minators carry their ferrets. Looking thronch the holes in the ton of it all that could be seen were two pairs of email eyes, a brilliant, baleful green. They belonged to two brown ferrets of English stock, and said by their owner to be fit. a superior breed. Wrapping the box in a mec of paper, for appearance sake, and punching some holts in it for the animals1 sake, the ex-professor set out with the reporter for tne residence ot tne lriena wno naa rats in stock. On the way to the theater of experiment the man learned in ferrets and rats descanted on the minutiae of his calling. "You know a rat doesn t have to be taught that a ferret is his natural enemy, and he haa a mortal terror of the little beast. If there is a ferret within a rod of a swarm of rats thev'll all clear out and keen going for a mile to get to other quarters. body looks big his head is the biggest part, of him. and wherever his head can go the rest can follow easily. "A ferret doesn't often catch a rat in a run, lor tne rat is last ana tne lerret very; slow, bometimes they do catch one, and then it's hard work to get that ferret back. ' He'll load tip on the rat s blood and go loafing around instead of attending to business; stay in there, perhaps, to io 6ome hunting on his own account, Fve lost ferrets in sta bles, where the v have wandered on mtosido runs, caught a rat or two, and laid- out a future for them on the premises. Sometimes a ferret will come to his owner's whistle, but generally we have to keep a sham lookout and nick them up as thev follow the rats ont of the holes. Well, here wo are." The two men entered a snort intr resort: it was in the Kensington district. The ratter remarked: 13illy, 1 want to show this gentleman an experiment; let's have the little room." The little room was an apartment eight feet long and six feet wide, and utterly without furniture. The window 6i lis were high and broad, ana these were used for seats. The proprietor of the establishment ab sented himself a minute or two, and returned with a large rat in his leathergloved hand, and when the door was closed dropped it squeaking on the floor. From the box on his lap the ratter, also with his right hand in a leather glove, drew a ferret and dropped it on the door. The three watchers of the impending tragedy wero sittinc with their feet swin urine: a foot and a half from the bare, unencumbered floor. hen the rat had first been released it had scampered around the wainscoting looking for escape, but when the lerret was dropped, it stopped a moment as if in consternation, and then made for the corner furthest from the enemy. As the ferret ad vanced, stealthily, his neck stretched and his nose portruding, the rat made a break and got further away. Ihe leiret had some dilhculty in following the rapid motions of the rat on account of the room being light, but he kept the trailing process up until within four or live minutes from the 6 tart the rat was in a corner, and whichever way he turned the ferret turned, too. to head him olL This process was kept np until not more than a foot separated them, and then the rat deliberately raised on his haunches and prepared to tight. The ferret drew nearer until they were six inches apart, and, rearing up as the other had. there was an actual sparring-match. The ferret made a plunge for the rat's jugular, but the latter dodged and bit back viciously. In an instant the two fought ferociously. the rat making no attempt at escape, but fighting for dear life. They separated, and again on their haunches had Another sparring bout. The rat left an opening, and quick as an expert boxer, the ferret took advantage of it, made a rattlesnake sort of dart with his head, and seized the rat just behind the car. There was a lively wrestling match, but the rat could not loose his antagonist s hold. He tried to bite, but the hold was such that he couldn't, and very soon it was all over with his ratship. lo exhibit the tenacity of the ferret's hold the rat man picked the rat up by the hind leg, and rat aud ferret hung dangling in the air. The ferret was nicked np in like manner, but he would not break his hold. A second rat was let loose with the second ferret and the performance was repeated to a nicetv. with the exception that this rat was a trifle more pugnacious and fought harder for his life.
