Interesting Talk on the Planes o Consciousness. - Yesterday morning Mrs. John Vance Cheney, who is advancing the cause of her “New Education and the Art of Liv- | ing,” delivered the third lecture of her course before an interested audience com- | posed for the main part of women. The subject of Mrs. Cheney's lecture was | “Planes of Consclousness.” The lady said | in part: | The new education has recelved a i | | ! | tremendous impetus through the ac- knowledged inner craving of every hu- man being for something better than he or she has known. Our work is to discover self, in order | to become entirely human,’ entirely | sweet and natural, to learn what it is to be real men and women in our life with others.

The Ex-Collector of Internal Revenue Is Thrice Declared Not Guilty. | In the trial of Osca M. Welburn, ex- Collector of Internal Revenue, the jury at 9 o'clock last night brought in a verdict of not guilty. After the jury had been polled Welburn thanked the jurors and shook each by the hand. One of the jurors announced that for a long time they had stood 9 to 3 In favor of ac- quittal. This was the third trial of O. M. Wel- burn for sending false vouchers to Wash- ington, the fury having acquitted him on | the first trial and disagreed on the next, a new indictment having been found | against him for practically the same acts. After his acquittal he went to Texas and | the officers were unable to find him. He was caught several months ago at the | Presidio at drill with his company in a | regiment of United States volunfeers en | route to the Philippines. He was tried in the United States District Court and was defended by Gavin McNab nnd Frank H. Gould, ‘who also defended him | in the present trial. | ADVERTISEMENTS. Free to the Ruptured 3 Dr. W. S.

He had served six years and nine months and would have "had but three months more to serve before obtain- ing his exemption certificate, when he took sides against the captain and voted for the other fellow. This coming to the knowledge of the captain he used his power and had the young man dismissed 'for the good of the service,” causing him to loge all the time he put into the service. The captain cannot be required to give a reason for his action and the young man has no appeal. It is proposed to ask the Legislature to amend the law so that when a discharge is asked for on the ground of “the good of the service,” the commanding officer shall give his reasons.
