Will Try to “”111 Ballington Booth Back to the Selection Army. 15.——Among the pas- sengers on the St. Paul. which arrived at this port this morning. was Gen. William Booth, head of the Salvation Army: He has publicly declared his intention of seeking a reconciliation with his son. Ballington Booth. who se- ceded t‘iom the Salvation Army to form 11*: Ameiican Volunteers. Ballington Booth's friends say that thele is no possibility of the old gex'l- sral's being successful in his mission, as any attempt to 'win the younger Booth back to the ranks of the army. will only reopen the old quarrel be- tween the two men. "‘ New York. Ian. The trouble culminated in Balling- lfrl‘: Booth's leaving the Salvation Army broke out in 1895. One of the causes was said to be that the mem- bers of the army diSplayed more en- thusiasm over Ballington Booth than they did over his father when the lat- ter was in this country. The old general also disliked, it was said, the prominence given to the Unit- ed States flag at the army headquar- ters. Ballington was ordered to fare- well and to report at London, He re- fused, and finally seceded, establish- ing the rival organization. Gen. Booth will proceed to Canada, and, after inspecting the army there, he will start fora tour of the United States, extending to the Pacific coast. He is expected back to this city April 15, and will sail for England again on April 23. In honor of General Booth’s visit to America twelve new shelters for thel homeless poor and three new rescue homes for women will be simultaneous- ly opened at various points in the country. The General, now in his sixty-ninth made his first journeyto this country in 1885, holding 200 meetings within three months. Since his last visit in 1894 the army shows an in- crease of members, w ich is considered sufficient refutation of the charge. that Ballington Booth’s secession and the establishment of the Volunteers have weakened its standing. Two thousand four hundred and thir- ty-eight is the present ofl‘lcers’ roll, as against 1,862 in 1894. The colonization scheme, which is the pet projecr of this veteran of the sword of faith, will be pushed during his stay. PAID FOR THREE MURDERS. Before Being Hanged Lockley Made a Full Confession. Richmond, Va., Jan. 15.——-'Archey Lockley, colored, a. triple murderer, was hanged at King and Queen’s Court House yesterday. There was a large crowd at the Court House, and the sheriff and his deputies had to pro— duce pistols to prevent some of those present from forcing their way into the inclosure around the scaffold. Lockley showed great nerve to the last. The trap was sprung at 12.21 p. 111., and death was instantaneous. Lockley made a full confession. Lockley had been living for several years with Ellen Chapman. and on 0c: tober 12 last went to her house, and a quarrel ensued, which ended in a fight. When the woman’s nephew, George Lee, started for an officer, Lockley seized a gun and shot him, then shot at Charles Chapman, but missed him. He then shot Eddie Chapman, and when he saw the woman trying to make her escape shot her. Lockley made his escape and got as far as Philadelphia, thze e he “as ar- 1ested and brought back for tiial Anti-Cigarette Bill at Albany.

The way to do is to take a bottle or glass tumbler, and fill it with urine. If there is a. sediment—— a powderlike substance—at the bottom after standing :1 day and night, there is something wrong with the kidneys. Another sure sign of disease is a. desire to urinate often, and still another sign is pain in the back. If urine stains linen. there IS no doubt that the kid- neys are affected. .
