INDIANAPOLIS , Ind., Sept 8.—After early seven hours' continuous session

I* yesterday the twenty-seventh national encampment of the grand army cd-journed a t 4 o'clock p. m. The report of the pension committee was the fea- ! t u r e of the day. I t was unanimously i adopted and is as follows:

"Llnooln declared it the duly of the nation to •care for those that hid borne the batUe and for their wives and orphans. After his death a -grateful nation met and received the veterans «nd showered upon them the plaudits and hon- . « r s they had so well and hardly earned. With profound sorrow and regret wo . t u r e to report that all provision for the veterans has been changed. Thousands o l penslous have been stopped with-« u t notice and thousands of pensioners dropptd from the rolls. It has been claimed that an ad-Judication of a pension settled nolhlnf, that the secretary of the Interior and commissioner <of pensions were Invested by law with abso-lute power over the pension roll, and that It Is within their legal authority to reopen and re-Tlse pensions allowed by their predecessors under regulations adopted by \hem, whenever tbey see fit to change the rules of evidence and tti: sea!" «>f railngs, and this In a country of law, where from the Infancy of the government the United States by Its organic law Is In terms denied the right to deprive any person of prop-K t y wlthoat due process of law.

"Wo deny that the secretary of the Interior •nd the commissioner of pensions have any such power therefore the Grand Army of tbe Hepablla in national encampment assembled, vpcaklng forr the grand army of beloved com-rades, many ot tMsm too poor, too unused, too broken to understand the strong arm of the government when administered with an unfriendly hand.

" W e demand tha t there shall be no backward step In pension legislation or administration, «nd tha t the sacred trust of those that bore the burden of the battle shall bo sacredly observed and sacredly administered."

The report concluded with a series of resolu-Hobs 'tetlarlruc that the grand army- looked with solicitude and alarm upon the action of the administration In arbitrarily depriving the veterans of an opportunity to be heard in defense of the rights solemnly adjudged and oonflnnod to them, that It declared against the presumption of fraud until charges had heen proven and until each pensioner had toll notice and full and complete opportunity to t x heard.

NEW YORK, 3ept 11.—R. G. Dun & to. ' s weekly review of trade says:

"Improvement has extended from the banks to the mills. The condition of great Industries has dlsUOtly mended, though still seriously de-PresseJ. More Important by far than any rise In stocko Is the fact that more works have tesumed during the last week than hav« Itoppcd operation, so that the producing force of the country after months of conatcat dccllne has begun to increase. Disputctes mention twenty-eight textile and thirty metal works which have resusumed, some only with p a n force, while twenty-live textile and nine Iron works have stopped. It Is expected that Boat of the f a l l River mills will start soon, the hands aeaentlng to reduced wages. The Boncy market la more healthy, the premium on currency has almost vanished, the embar-rassments in domestic exchanges have well-nigh disappeared, and while little money la yet available for commercial or Industrial loans there Is some relief In that respect also

COULDN'T MKKT PAYMKKTB.

GRAND RAPIDS, Sept. 0,—Heavy losses ! in collapsed world's fair hotels and in-! ability to secure payments from others | not col lapsed forced Nelson, Matter A j Co,, one of the oldest furniture houses in | Grand Rapids, to give chattel mortgages , aggregating $170,382.74. Real estate j mortgages to the same parties and for • a like amount were also filed. Those I papers were executed to secure local j creditors and Michigan banks. The ' amount of unsecured indebtedness will

foot up about $200,000, making the company's total liabilities about $400.-000. The assets will probably exceed that sum.

The heavfest bank creditors are the Grand Rapids national bank, $45,500:

I Old national bank. $29,400; People's ' savings bank, $15,700; Fourth national i bank, $4,100: Fifth national bank, $3,-0 0; Grand Rapids savings, $7,500, and Michigan state bank, $5,000, all of Grand Rapids: First state and savings bank of Howell, $3,600; Big Rapids na-tional bank. $14,000.

Ever since the world's fair hotels fur-nished by this company began tum-bling right nnd left it has been in a crit-ical condition financially. It was hoped that the worst was <wer and that it would manage to pull through. A few days ago a sample line of goods carried by the company in New .York was attached, and this precipitated a raid by worried eastern creditors,

" here is talk of granting, the'com-pany an extension of time on its over-d v paper. In any event the business will be continued by the trustee for the benefit of the creditors. The mort-gages cover everything including real estate, plant, stock and manufactured

_ material. • The world's fair hotels in which the

i company sustained the heaviest losses j were the Windermere. Lacota. Impe-

rial and one other. They decline to give figures, bnt it is said in one case the total exceeded $t0,0W). In addition the company has large sums tied up in , other Chicago hotels which are doing busincs but have not been able to liquidate their indebtedness.

Mbbl i tnn ('rup Report for S e p t e m b e r .

I The drouth now prevailing in southern ' ! Michigan is without a parallel. There

r i has been no general rain since about the j 22d of June. Light showers have afford I ed only temporary and local relrof. The , 'average total rainfall m June was below j 1 the normal, and there weA a futher dc-1 | ficiency in July, Complete returns, for August have not yet been received, but the weekly bulletins of the State weath-er service indicate that the average rain-fall for August was abuu: one-half the

j normal. At Lansing an .-.ccurate record of

rainfall has been kept at the olHce of the State board of health since and includ-ing 1879 This record shows a total rainfall in July of this year of 0.98 of an

j inch, ano in August of 0.78 of an inch .a ! total for the two months of only 1,71 | inches. The least amount recorded for j the same two months in any former 1 year was 2 61 inches in 1^7. The aver-| age for the two months in the fourteen ( years previous to 1893 is 5.91 inches, j Compared with this average the defici-ency in 1893 is 4.30inche«,

! At the State Agricultural College in 11864 the rainfall in July and August emounted to 165 inches, Tbe least amount recorded for the two months in any year since 1864. previous to 1893, is 2.39 inches in 1887,

The severity of the dronth has been greatiy increased by bright sunshine There was very little cloudy weather during July and August. Tbe precent-age of sunshine is uniformly reported m excess of the normal.

Of course it follows that crops of all kinds have been seriously injured. Corn is being cut to save tbe fodder, Tbe potato crop will be light. Meadows and pastures are dned up, and in many cases are believed to be ruined. Clover sow-ed this year, except in the most favor-ably located fielders entirely killed out. Ploughing for fall wheat, except on the' lighter soils, is practically impossible. It now seems probable that tbe wheat area of this state will be greatly reduced on account of drouth as well as low price

Threshers' returns of about 65,000 acres of wheat threshed, secured by correspondents, show that tbe average yield per acre in the southern counties is 15.77 bushels, in the central 14 bush-els, and in the northern 11 bushels, in-dicating a total yield in the State of more than 24.000,000 bushels, or 15.83 bushels per acre.

The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed by farmers since the August report was published is 1,248,809, Of this amount 519,709 bushels were marketed in July bat not reported until late in August, and 729,100 bushels were marketed in August, Adding the amount now reported marketed in July, to"the amount previously reported for tbe twelve months ending with July, gives a total of 14,822.056 bushels mar-keted in the wheat year, 1892-8.

Mr, Stafford G. Cook, a well known citi/.eu of York county, who r.«idessome thr miles below Yorktown, had a sin-gular nad unique ma'.ru'.ionial ex;, ri-ence in his family last evening and this morning.

Miss Nannie L, Cook was married this morning at haifqmt 8 o'clock to Mr, Simon Cnrtis at Ltlxiuon chureh, Wsy--wick county, by the Rev, W. C, Wade. Invitations were issued t . this marriage, and the father of the lady and all the friends of the contracting parties were present.

Immediately after the above ceremony Miss Mahah-yCook, the eldest daughter, after witnessing the marriage of her sister drove to Williamsburg with Mr. Copeland Shcild, to whom she was mar-ried in the parlor of the Spencer hotel at 12;80 today. Those who witnessed the marriage w< re Mr. and Mrs. Spencer, Mr, A, E, Smith, Mr, C. H, Sheild and Mr, J, M. Cobb, who came up with the parties from York, The ceremony was perfonned by the Rev. T. C, Page, rector of Brutou Episcopal church, of this place, Mr, aud Mrs. Sheild left this evening for tbe groom's home near York-town, This marriage was without the consent of the lady's father.

It is understood that this marriage was also without tho knowledge of the parents and family of the groom,—Cor. Rich-mond Dispatch.

What becomes of disabled and agec ministers and their families; A good many of them depend on friends for support, some on public charity, some suffer in extreme poverty. Tbe average salary of ministers allows no margin to be laid aside. The minister himself is likely to cease to be in demand at an age when men in other professions are most prosperous. Our denomination is far behind others in providing for wem-out ministers and ministers' widows.

A foundation has been laid for a f u n ' sufficient to provide for the most press ing needs. The trustees of the national conndl. having charge ofjfthis work, have in hand about $25,000. The Rev N. H. Whittlesey, of Evanston, Ills,, has consented to present this matter to the churches for three years, in the hope that by that time the needed amount will be raised,—Boston Congregation-al is t

A T T H E ANNUAL meeting of the

First Baptist dhurch, Monday even-

ing, Pastor Shanks accepted the call

to serve with them another year.

Pastor Shanks has given excellent

satisfaction ths past year and has

aroused much enthusiasm among the

younger members of his church, be-

sides making many additions to its

membership.

T H E REPOBT of Prof. Vaughn on

the water from the new wells, pub-

lished in another column, is certain-

ly a good one. Lowell and the

Water & Light Co. arc both to be

congratulated on the purity of the

water from the new wells. Prof.

Vaughn is authority second to none in the world and with his certifica-

tion as to purity we can drink with-

out fear.

Tnfe RETURN of Rev. A. F- Moors

to this charge is very gratifying to

the members of his church. It will

be remembered that the official

board unanimously requested his re-

turn, but until the appointments

were made the church was fearful

that he would be assigned elsewhere.

The M. E. church or Lowell is to be

congratulated that they will again

have such an efikicient and worthy

pastor another year.

H O N . M O R E A U S . CROSBY is dead.

The news comes like a thunder clap

t rom a clt ar sky. It has been known

for some time that he was in poor

health and some time ago quit active

work and sought health in the east.

He was Lieutenant Governor from

1881 to 1885 and was an upright,

consciencious man, a prominent Y. M. C. A. worker of openhanded gen-

erosity and public spirit. Grand

Rapids and Michigan have lost a

valued and honored citizen.

TAKE NOTICE, the ordinance regula-ting the use of water for spnnkling pur-poses will,after this date.be rigidly en-forced.

Attention has been called to this mat-ter before. Many consumers allow tho water to run after hours, many of them remove the nozzle and allow a stream to run all night, that the fire protection is seriously crippled. This matter is of as much consequence to you as to us and it seem* that threats of prosecution would not lie necessary to cause you to cease this waste.

T O M W I N S T O N ' S V O W .

"Whatever misery or disappointment overtakes you always be sure that my wishes have brought them. If a curse hangs over your house know that It is mine," Tom Winston said to Theo Thorpe the day the latter brought home his young wife, Lucy Lane.

Theo only answered: "Pd be sorry to believe that, Tom, and

some day youll be thankful to remem-ber that 'the curse causeless shall not come.'"

And then he went quickly Into his mill

The miller's cottage stood In a verdant hollow beside the millpond, where ap-ples, plums, peach and cherry trees ran down the sunny slope In front and hon-eysuckle clambered up the walls to deck them with russet perfume, while np on the windy hill across the pond stood Tom Winston's house, with never a tree to shelter it from the winter storms nor a flower to drape its bare walls, nor a woman's face to warm its cold hearth-stone and chase away the black shadows from about Tom's heart

None bnt little baby Mayaie, the two-year-old child of sister Bessie, whom folks said he had loved with no common love. His gloomy face softened to none but Maysie, and perhaps he would have forgiven Lucy easier had It not been that Bessie's baby wanted a mother p badly.

"IU get the better of him yet," vowed Tom, shaking his fist at the blue smoke curling up from the hollow, on the even-ing of that homecoming. "My curse, bitter and everlasting, on bed and hearth, and every stick and stone belonging to Thoo Thorpe I"

When the young wife heard that her old lover was going abont vowing ven-geance, she laughed in gay defiance, and declared that twenty Tom Winstons would not frighten her.

At the same time she looked with quite a new interest from under her lushes at Tom when sometimes she en-countered him on the road, as If she would have said:

"Is the hurt so very bad. Tomr But Tom seemed to be stone blind as

he passed on his side of the way Lucy was very pretty and foolhardy, and s o -well, being a woman, she set herself to conquer him.

One day she came home with her bas-ket full of wild berries, and her black hair was full of corn flowers, and bnrst-ing open the old mill door, she stood in the stream of snnshine, with her hazel eyes full of triumph and her merry, care-less face full of lanRhing dimples.

"What do yon think?" cried she. danc-ing on her little feet "I met Tom Win-ston and that baby up the wood, and I made Tom speak to me. and I just up and told him what a mean, envious fel-low he was, and how for all his ugly threats I knew it wasn't in him to harm a bone of my body."

"Yon told him that?" exclaimed Theo. "Yes; aud he looked hard at me. and

said that was true; and then we shook hands on it. and I took the baby."

"Now, I don't know anything that could please me so much as that." said Theo earnestly. "To hear of Tom com-ing ronnd, and by yonr means, dear! But nobody oonld withstand you."

This was a beginning of a truce be-tween the house on the hill and the house in the hollow. Tom did not thaw very perceptibly toward Theo, but he did become quite cordial with Lucy Indeed, to Theo's heartfelt satisfaction, he would sometimes hear from Lucy that Tom and the child had been at the house those evenings that h6 happened to bo in town with his loads of flour.

And soon Lnoy used to go up to Tom's house and take Maysie down to spend the day with her. and never did she look more winsome in her young husband's eyes than when sitting under the apple trees with the child on her lap

Tbe first year passed. A tiny, name-less grave was in the churchyard, and a little face, never seen in life, was cher ished in Theo's loving heart

"Ah, no, Tom's curse conldnt hurt ns," Theo had answered In humble faith, while his Lucy In her illness and sorrow had muttered with fevered reiteration:

"If it hadn't been for him—If it hadn't been for him,"

Lucy was in the cornfields again pluck-ing the scarlet poppies sad the blue com flowers, aud she clung to little Maysie more than ever.

"What a comfort she Is," Theo would say, as he watched his wife's nad face glow into brightness at the sound of Maysie's prattls. "and how I thank Tom for lending her so often to us,"

Words like these often made poor

Lucy weep aa she carried the child alone —still alone—to the house on the hilL

It was the anniversary of their wed-ding day, and Theo was hastening home from his day's business in town earlier than usual to honor the day by present-ing his wife with a pretty gift and then take her over to spend the eveuing at his father's

No Lucy standing in the rose girdled porch to welcome him. So much the better. Ho fonld turn the horse into the pasture and write her name in the pres-ent before she would dream he had come home and hasten back from her ramble with Maysie.

Going into the kitchen Theo un-wrapped his present—a pretty little Bible, in scarlet Russian leather, with mother-of-pearl back—and wrote care-fully on the fly leaf:

"To my dear wife, from Theo. 'Her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace,'"

Then he went into the little bedroom to place it open on Lucy's pillow.

Everything neat and folded always. But what Is this? A note on the dress-ing table.

"She's been before me, bless herl" cried Theo, seizing i t "It's a love letter worth twenty presents." .

Then he sat down to gloat over i t From red to white: from white to

awful yellow; from yellow to dull, thun-derous black, aud then the miller cast the evil thing upon the ground and tram-pled upon It with his heel.

Only these blasting words: "1 cannot longer deceive myself n

yon. 1 should have never married yon —it should have been Tom. I know now, to your disgrace and mv own ruin, which I love. Oh, don't be cruel, Theo. for 1 am going to my ruin, though he baa my heart. Forgive, if you can, the most miserable creature upon earth."

An hour afterward Theo crept out of his dishonored home into the holy calm of sunset The mighty storm which bad swept over him had left him broken, hag-gard and- well nigh crushed. And that storm was not yet over. There was a giant of murderous vengeance wrestling in his meek heart for leave to wreck its will on the vile thief who had stolen his love, his honor, his home.

He stood on the bank of the pond, with his hands clinched hard, and his blood suffused eyes glaring up at the house on the hill, where the smoke curled merrily and oh! how the wish tore at him to go up and cover that guilty hearth with coward blood!

Harkl a tiny voice calling out: "Oh," ho! Missar Tho'pel I see 'ool"

Little Maysie running down the slope and across the plank which spans the narrows In heedless haate to reach one who had ever been kind to her. A mis-step, a scream, a splash In the water, the flutter of a checked frock, the upraising of two little hands for help.

Tom Winston's baby slowly whirling down to death at the flume.

Tom Winston's baby! Talk of ven-geance—what more keen than this?

Theo stood transfixed, the veins knotted on his brow, Satan mighty at his heart to make him evermore a Cain—heaven battling for this wavering sonl with throes of pity and stings of conscience.

Death or life—which? A smothered cry as the terrified little

one swept past him, her eyes starting with affright, her baby face stricken and pale, her innocent little hands thrown np to him for life!

Theo's self came bock; with one bold plunge he was at the throat of the heavy waterfall before her. holding on fiercely by the slippery log. and as she eddied around before the death descent of twenty feet to the flume he canght her, with superhuman strength wrenched her from the current and tossed her upon the bank.

Then battling for dear life for full five minntea, he got away at last, and clam-bered. bruised and beaten, np the bank to the child.

She was senseless; perhaps, after all, dead, aud taking her to his desolate home, he laid her on his own bed and rubbed her cold limbs. Pulling off her

j dripping clothes he wrapped her in Lucy's warm shawl, and at last the bine eyes opened and Maysie smiled.

Then Theo fell on his knees and thanked heaven for its great mercy In saving her life and his soul

"How could I think to do I t baby?" he gasped, clutching her close to his heart and gazing down into her wonder-ing eyes.

While he was drying the little one's clothes and his own around the stove, and with her on his knee was feeding her with warm milk and bread, awk-wardly enough, but very lovingly, tbe

door opened and hasty feet crossed the threshold

What was this? 'Theo!" sobbed Lucy, dropping at his

feet, seizing his baud, kissing it, weep-ing over it, clutching it hungrily to her bosom: "take me back. I've come— come back to you! 1 couldn't leave you after that!"

She pointed to the child with a pas-sion of tears.

"Lucy," faltered Theo, very pale, but mild, "have you repented of the evil you would doT

"Yes. yes, yes—a thousand times yes. I know my heart now. It was my mis-erable vimity, but never love. Oh, my own husband, forgive, forgive, and let me be the meanest thing in your house."

"Tom?" asked Theo, trembling so much that he had to hold Maysie with both hands

"He is in the porch," whispered the frail wife, hiding her shamed face, "full of remorse and waiting to ask yonr for-giveness.*'

"What!" ejaculated the miller. This was far too wonderful to be un-

derstood al once. He looked at his wife, humbled, repentant, well nigh crushed; at the child, radiant with Godgiven life, which he had preserved: at the dusky figure in the porch, so very like his enemy; at his own heart, once so dark aud full of sin, and in a rush came his great deliverance over him.

"Tom!" he shouted And his enemy obeyed the voice, with

bent head and the red tint of shame on his dark face. Speak he could not, but he took Theo's proffered hand and wrung it hard

"Oh. man!" cried the miller, with a gulp of thankfulness: "what we've es-caped this day! Tom, here's the child Heaven be thanked, 1 didn't let her go in my auger!"

Toui Winston grasped his baby in both arms, and while his face fell on her neck something like a prayer—the first but not the last—came from his remorseful heart

And Theo, with tears raining down his cheeks, raised up the erring wife and kissing her whispered';

j marked a physician. "1 do not believe the stories you often see in the news-papers abont snakes and other animals existing for months in the stomachs of men. If you swallow a small reptile while drinking water from a spring, in due course of time 1 will wager that the creature will become part and parcel of yon thruugh digestion and assimilation. 1 have experimented .with a dog in a rather cruel way. but it proves my as-sertion.

Occasionally public speakers will focus their attentions on one individual in the

j audience on whom, for illustration's | sake, their remarks seem to be wholly , and specially addressed. It is safe to say that the good man who figured as speaker to a western audience in the present instance was very much sur-prised at tho literal application of his text

"Yon must remember," he said at the conclusion of his sermon, "that the Good Book commands you to love yonr neighbor as yourself,"

i At that moment a big lout jumped np ! in a back seat, and twirling his hat in ] his hand shouted:

"I do, mister; I love her a heap better j than myself, but she's gone an built b nine foot fence betwixt our lots, an she

have comfortable clothes?" It was a truism of course, but put in that form and with the "two-thirds" printed boldly as a fraction it was peculiarly striking,

the existence of a coincidence without parallel in the history of crime.

"Inference second: The murder was committed' by a man who has some knowledge of anatomy and some surgi cal skill, as is argued by the precision with .which these arteries were found and cut.

"A young man, whose attention is at-tracted to tho possibility of wrongdoing in the Bleecker street house, forces his way into the room occupied as a cos-turner's place, and finds in the fingers of the murdered girl a torn scrap of paper, and on tho floor near by another torn scrap, both covered by writing in the same hand, the scraps suggesting that they were torn from letters wrested from the hands of the girl. The police discovered that the dress of Mrs. Parish is violently torn in the breast, with all tho appearance of something having been dragged from it. Valuables and money on the person are not taken.

"Inference: The murderer desired to possess himself of certain documents or papere hold by tho murdered woman; hence the motive nf the crime.

"This young man also discovers the portrait and ring of Reuben Dorison in tho room, and determines the writing on the torn scraps of paper to be in tho hand of Reuben Dorison. '"Inference: In some way Reuben

Dorison, dead eight years, was connect-ed with the woman Parish and her daughter. Query, how? Not at present clear or ascertainable.

"Inquiry elicits these facts: The two women live quiet, regular and proper lives; are constant in attendance upon church and their duties; they have no intimate friends, few callers and no so-cial relations; at stated intervals a young man, tall, slim," with brown hair, whose visits leave the mother sad and the daughter in tears, calls upon them; by her own admission the mother in her younger days had passed through a pe-riod of great sorrow, sorrow so great as to influence her after fife; on two occa-rions she is knowu to be in great distress —once eight years ago, when she refused to explain the cause, but immediately dresses in mourning, and the daughter withdraws from all association 'with young, people; the other throe years ago.

her other troubles, alone. Reuben Dori-son died eight years ago. coincidental with the appearance of Mrs. Parish in monriiing. Inquiry also eljcits that When the minister's wife is, in the pres-ence of Mrs. Parish, condemning a wom-an for irregularity of life, Mrs. Fajrish cries out in protest, saying that the con-demhation of the woman rings in her ears as a condemnation of herself.

"Inference: There was something—-a fault, a misfortune c-r a crime in the life of tho mother, with which the-caller at stilted intervals, and presumably Reuben Dorison, is connected.

"Inquiry also elicits the fact that the daughter, who has no association with young people, is seen nn three different occasion walking in Union square, evi-dently gTeatly troubled, with a young man, tall and slim, of fast appearance, dressed in extreme fashion.

"Inference: The caller at stated inter-vals and the walker in Union square are one and the same,

"Near the body of the mother was found a man's glove, tho form of which shows it was worn by a man with a large hand, prominent knuckles and joints, whose thumb was disproportionately long. This glove was cut and made to fit only the hand that wore it, an indica-tion that tho wearer was a man exceed-ingly particular as to his personal ap-pearance and nice as to his apparel.

"Inference: First, as the walker in Union square was noticeable because of liis Hue dress, and as the wearer of the glove was. us it indicates, careful as ty his appearance, the wearer of the glove, tho walker in Union square aud the caller at stated intervals were one and the same. Second, as the glove was found close to tho body of the mother after her death, and as one caller on the family was the incident of a month, this wearer of the glove was the murderer of the mother. Third, if of the mother, then of the daughter.

"One more point: Inasmuch as after the two women engaged in the costum-ing bus'nesa it was the habit of the mother to return home before the daughter, and the daughter to return at sis. and as the servant left Mrs. Parish alone at eight, there is reason to believe that the daughter was murdered first and ihe mother after,

"Now, as to a theory. Mrs. Parish had been connected with some event, the secret of which she jealously guarded, in her early life, which was criminal. She had documents relating to this event, possession of which she shared with her daughter. These documents either im-plicated a young man who called upon her at stated intervals, or. which, being in his hands, would prove of such value that to possess them he could bring him-self to commit murder. With these events Reuben Dorison is associated, since the only glimpse of any part of them we have obtained shows his hand-writing. The young man for years per-secuted the two woman to obtain the papers, being always refused and pla-cjited with gifts of money to such an ex-tent that in time tho rndependence of Mrs. Parish was so impaired that she was compelled to resume a business she had many years before been engaged in.* He had become desperate in finding that he could neither obtain the documents nor any more money, the latter fact be-ing made clear to him when he learns that Mrs. Parish has gone into business. Believing these documents to be in the possession of the young woman, he visit-ed the Bleecker street apartment, and. finding no other way to obtain them, murders her and seizes them. He finds, however, that he has not all. and he goes to the Sixteenth street house to see the mother. He demands and is refused them. He takes them by force, and he now knows that Mrs. Parish will uner-ringly attribute the murder of the daugh-ter to him. and as a matter of self pres-ervation he kills the mother.

"We have the motive for the deed. The criminal ic a tail, slim man, with bn»wn hair, who dresses in extreme fash-ion, who is dissipated, aud who can be recognized by a large hand, with promi-1

nent, joints and knuckles, and whose thnnb is so disproportionately large and long as to be almost a deformity. He is a surgeon or has studied surgery. To find that man is to find the murderer, and, in my judgment, is to find the secret of that unfinished letter of your father's."

The old detective looked into the face of Dorison for the first time since he had begun to reason. Upon it was expressed excitement and admiration. Dorison'n eyes burned brightly, his lips were parted, high color was in his cheeks and he breathed heavily. Something of the fever of the chase was upon him.

"It Is wonderful I It is wonderfull" he breathed out, rather than articulated. "It is profound, subtle reasoning, and all from such meager and insufficient facts. It is reasoned out to a conclu-sion."

"No," said the old detective, "it is only the first theory, and may bo utterly overturned by the first real, substantial fact hit upon."

'I cannot believe it," protested Dori-son. "Your conclusions are too strong."

"But my premises may be weak," per-sisted Cathcart. "Don't lean too heavily upon a theory. Tho value of one is oni j-that it gives yon a basis from which to work. The danger of a theory is that you cling to it, refusing in its interest to recognize the plain facts under your nose. The difference between a shrewd detective and a dull one is this: The lat-ter becomes a slave to his theory and it controls him; the former treats it with

CHAPTER VH. SETTING CP A MAN OP FASHION.

Cathcart took it, and. moving the gUm. handed U to Dotiton.

Within a week after this conversation Dorison was in occupation of a comfort-able suite of apartments in Twenty-ninth street.

Through tne agency of old Mr. Nettle-man he had gathered a stock of such fashionable clothing as he had not had since the days prior to his father's death. He was in enjoyment of an income over and above his salary of two hundred dollars a month with which to support his pretensions, supplied by Mr. Nettlo-man. Also he was connected nominally with a mercantile house in tho lower part of tho city, and this also through Mr. Nettleman, who had taken a friend into his confidence, and given Dorison thereby a standing other than that of a mere idler of the town. And in addition he had brought the young man into pleasant relations with several young men, sons of his friends.

All this was in pursuance of the sug-gestions of Cathcart, and though he did not inform Dorison as to his reasons, he did his cousin. The reasons were not eo much that Dorison could aid in the cap-ture of the murderer as that he saw that any explanation of Reuben Dovisou's strange letter was to be obtained In the circle in which he had moved. And he

hoped to edge the younger Dorison into it without his identity being known.

Cathcart had a theory as to Reuben Dorison's connection with the Parishes which he kept closely to himself. In what direction it tended may be im-agined from this brief exchange with his Cousin Nettleman one evening when tbey were together.

"What was Reuben Dorison's private life. Cousin Nettleman?" he asked sud-denly. "Was he given to intrigues with women?"

Mr. Nettleman was.indignant and in arms at once.

"No, sir," he replied emphatically. "No purer man in his jK-ivate lif^ ever lived. Of that I am certain. His home life was perfectly happy."

"Are you saying that because you think you must bo loyal to the memory of your dead friend, or because you be-lieve it?"

"I say it because it is true. Prom the moment he married his wife he was a devoted husband and a pure man."

"His wife died how many years ago?" "She died tho first year he moved into

Twenty-third street—in eighteen hun-dred and fifty-one."

"Ah, twenty-eight years ago." Whatever he thought, he was exceed-

ingly busy in these days, leaving Dori-son much to himself. About two weeks after the young man had entered upon his second career as a man of fashion, as Cathcart called it, the old detective made his appearance at Dorison's rooms. It

at the foot of the steps of the police headquarters.

"One moment before we enter." said Cathcart. "Answer no leading question except by evasion. I want yon here to the murder up until 1 know something, make a study of that glove. If you have | Yon cannot divide yourself on two such the slightest aptitnde for this business, important cases and succeed in either, fruru a close examination of the glove; if you want reports from me every you can gain an intelligent knowledge morning 1 will give 3'ou something you of the character of the hand yon are to can show as Indicating your progress, seek.

"I thought you had something to say to me," he said,

"Yes." replied Carthcurt. "Excuse me, Mr. Dudley,"

Taking this as an intimation to remove himself as far as possible, Dorison took a seat near the door. Cathcart and the captain talked in whispfb.

"What is it?" asked the captain. "What did you bring him here for?'

'*A bare chance," replied Cathcart; "he talked to mo of a man with a long thumb, and I brought him here to see if he could recognize it. thB meaning of his visit."

The captain closely examined the face of Cathcart as he was thus glibly lying, but it was inscrutable.

"Now what have yoc to tell me?" asked the captain.

"Only as to what I have been at work on. Nothing ae to what I have found, for it is nothing. From her minister I have found there was some strange or wrong event in Mrs. Parish's life, but what I cannot even guess a t I have fcund out who deeded the house to her only to find him dead.

Adelaide had said "Good nffeht" to Mr Saunders at her gate and, entering the house, ashed of Mary, who opened the door: "Dld-you have trouble wiMi Alma? Was she very cross because I left her?"

"Oh, no. she went right to bed and to sleep, for I spoke to her soon afterward and she did not hear me at all."

Mary hod indted colled to i>Ima from the foot of the Htaus jnst before going •out with her friend, Kitty Malone; but of course,received no answer,and fancy-ing the child asleep, she locked the door and started for a walk,

Adelaide was quite tired, so, after see-ing that the doors were secured, she went directly to her own room, never once thinking that her wee sister was nof safe in her bed.

"Of all things! Miss Alma, where have you iH-en?" cried the girl in aston-ishment.

"I didn't been, I just stayed up there 'cause nobody waked me. And I guesa I've got roomtism like grandpa," she added as she came up stiffly to the door.

questions in our diflicult. to doeidi deeided only on general principles, Tho same goneral principles must bo applied in our imUationot the example of ancient saints and even of Jesus Ilimsclf., To do the Kime thing they did. but under different circumstances, may be a violation of the very princi-ples on which tbey acted. For us to at-tempt to Walk on the sea because Jesus did, or to pray all night on a •'•.vitintain in a winter storm, becauso Jesus did .-oin a summer uijfht, or to wear tho very same fashion of clothes that He wore, might easily be the very opposite of following His example. Tho applkiation of ;-ivat divine prin-ciple, to cur daily lives in varying cir-cumstanco*. is a large part of the . dis-ci p ice by which we £row in grace and develop a .strong and holy character.

Early Christian Problems. First* The duties of the Jewish t ' the Gentile disciples. Tho Jewish dir-ciples wanted the Gentile to be saved, but felt that it was necessary tha t in.,doir •• HO they should adopt the Jewish ritual. They know that their religion was divine. For fifteen hundred years they had boon the chosen people of God. The very God and Fath -r of the Lord Jesus had in ti luted their religion. And now, to ignore Lois, to rt->:i;ive men in-to the kingdom in another way than commanded self, ain.l practisetl for ages, wa this an insult to God, to religion, to the Bible, to all their past history? Wa.i I.I.t Mo.sos inspirMI? Was Uie sacred Pentateuch to bo rcduced to a dead let. n-'?' Were all the curses of Ebal to be braredv Again, there was a great social und religious barrier Iw tween Jews and Ge- .tiles, which made i t exceedingly difficult for them to live and work together us brethren in the same churches,

J-fWcond. The duties of Gentile dis-ciples to the Jew;.-.h. Why should not the Ger.-ik'S baeonso Jews? Aud yet to do so lai I a heavy, unnecessary , burden on the Gentiles a yoke which neither the Jews nor their fathers were able to bear. It destroyed the glorious liberty of the sons of God, • which allowed the Gospel spirit to work out into forms nnd methods nat-ural to the person who was filled with ' that spirit. The ceremonial law was 1

burdensome on account of the multi-plicity and minuteness of its injunc-tions—neco.s--ary as they were in tho j divine training of the Jewish nation. 1 The traditions of the elders were still more so. Again, it placcd an unneces- ' sary hindrance in the way of the con-
