"You can go." his master speaks.
Tlie servant retires.
' Something on that fellow's mind,"

"Perhaps his lady love has trans

Adrian.
"Perhaps." Silence for mime time.
Then the master of the house rie,

"Now enjoy yourself, doufor. You

"Is It all over, doctor?" he cries
eagerly.
Dr. Wilbur looks at him over his
glasses.
"All over," he says. Then h.iudiiiLr
him the book, "You see the page is
full."
The husband and father takes it
with trembling hands. He almost
dreads to loo!; upon It. What if that
JiPle black book should recoid the end
of all his hopes, strike a death-blow to
his happiness', lie reads. In the dim
light of tlie ohutulelior he sees the
doctor's lingular handwriting, tho

And he leaves him. Leaves him
grasping the old railing that skirts the

and father, staring with wild, wide,
open eyes, at the wall opposite.
For ut least ton lninut.s, the 'disap

For a long time ho stand. Sud

A vague feeling of dumb curiosity
creeps Into his brnin, relieved by tho
sight of a man harrying toward tlie

sees his master standing in the open

President Harrison would be present

Klovator Company vs. the Crane Hie

crowd to tho bosslon of thu Fnitcd
States circuit court of appeals to-day.
He was the first to address tho
court. He charged Attorney lluymond
and the Crane ICIcvator company With
taking tho Standard's model from the
old postoJllco biiildlng and leaving his
sldo handicapped. Hu recounted tho
declarations of tho cx-asslntaut cus
todian of the postofllco bi'ilding and
tho Janitor of the circuit court as to
the removal of thi models.
Mr. lluymond mucin emphatic tUnlal
that he or his ubsistaut wero responsi

nud bald that If they had been removed
by Crano employes It wjs through
error.
After eonsidotuble lurlherarguinotit

blue prints and eould proceed with

held responsible for any fault If, in
tho course of thu trial, it should be

set matters right and Judge Woods
said that the bench, being familiar
with models In general, could proceed
with the print.
The expected Investigation of tho

Ni.w Yuuk, Nov. ft - -The World
contains additional details of the
burning of ton heretics by the Judge
of the Moilcau town of Texaeap.i.
The dispatch says: As soon as tlio
news reached Mollange. the principal
town In the district, the municipal
president unit minor ollluials, with an
escort of over sKty men, armed with
rilles, went to Texaeapu, where they
found everybody In tho public square
executing grotesque dunces in honor
of tho vlrgju of (iiiadaloupu around
thu ruins of tho Jail, u smull
building solidly constructed, cIomi
to the parish chinch. In this
Jail pievious lo Satuidav had been
eoullued Nicholas lloi nnn"ttc, Martin
Santiago, .loso Manuel. Casper Hern
aiulez, Juan Tomas, Juan Tomiii: sec
ond, Muriu Jiinini, Muiia Magd.ilcna,
Maila loneepelouund an infant child.
They had been rudely hustled from
their homes ut dead of night on tho
cslianrdimiry eliargu preferred by Mm
auxllllary town judge that thetr'llves
were an evil in tho sight of (lod, and
thul they wore enemies of tho faith
t.nd heretics whom (Soil had oidered
through his holy taint to be eonsumed
by tire.
The anllliry Judge related this
with the utmost Mingfroid to the au
thorities. Ho added that (Sod had
wrought astonishing miracle to con
form what the sunt had told him in
tlie vision. Said tlie judge: "I obeyed
tlie divine command and ordered out
my ulgiiayclles (eonstnbles), and wo
took these sinners from their beds und
dragged them IntliodnrkncsHof night,
weeping and wailing, to tho jail.
When they were locked securely lit, I
en tlei cd the nlguayelles to set tho
building on lire."
Twentv-one at rusts wero made, al
though the fanatical mob threatened
death to the authorities. The prison
ers, securely bound around tho arms
and chained together, were marched
to Mollange, where a. judicial investi
gation will take place. Tho wliolo
population of Texaeap.i appears wono
mad. All believe tho auxiliary jiidgo
was commissioned by tho Ahnlghty
and thu saints to destroy evildoers.
They point to the pllo o'f bones on
which they profess to seo ininculouslr

on advising tho judge to burn herotlcs,
left their linages. Tho community Is

Holmes, the areh-e rlmlnal of tho pres
ent time, nccused of at least nix
murders und countless numbers of
other crimes, but never before put on
trial for his mlsdcoiU, was found
guilty of murder In tho first degree at
0 o'clock Saturday night. Ho tdolc
tho verdict calmly, nud left thu court
room as nnnchnleutly ns ho had en
tered It on any day of his trial, not
withstanding the fact that death
stares him in the face.
Judge Arnold's charge was against
tho prisoner on every point. In iu
latlou to the story of Holmes' wander
ings with Mrs. Plutzul, hu said: "It
presents tho most remiuknbltt picture
of tho inllucnca of mind over mind
that I ever saw. No novel overwrit
ten contains such a story as that of
tho way this man dragged that woman
about tlie country iu boareh of her
husband."

ings nt noon today, one under thu
auspices of the Murkeluien's Hepuhll

other In charge of the Uepubltcati
state committee at Musle hall. At the
former mooting Senator (lenrge F.
Hoar of Worcester divided honoia
with (lovernor (Sieenhulgo. As the
senator maue his uppoaraiico. mi the
platform for the llrst time In this cam
paign ho was accorded un enthusiastic
gieetlng.
0 The opening portion of Mr. Hoar's
address was devoted lo stato Issues,
tho salient paragraph being a declara
tion that tho Kepiillicitu parte of
Massachusetts maintained the rights
of American citizenship all over thu
country, without distinction of raeo,
birthplace or creed. Upon inls head
he said: "1 sco lhat.soineof our friends
on both sides nre disposed to thrust!.
Into this campaign somo matter which
does not seen to mo to belong to It, or
to be a prolltablo subject for party or
political discussions. One htdo takes'
as Its emblem the 'llttlo sohool house'
of our grandfather. Tho Dcmouratlu
candidate for (Jovcrnor, not to be be
hind hand, says he goiM for tho llttlu
school house, but ho wants a whlto
one. Now I think I can tugged, a
compromise which will satisfy both. I
propose to both hides totukuasnur
emblem, nud 1 will stand by them, the
llttlo red-cheeked selioolmarm. Let
her take her shingle iu her hand, nnd
where sho brings up tlio boys thero

Itorlally: "Turkish news Is of a grnvu

tilings Turkish, the appointment. of

appears to havo come too late. ,Tlio
porto seems to hope thnt tho summon

Tho editorial then proceeds'' to
nrguo that thu Armenians, by their
revolutionary tnctics, have forfeited
the sympathy of tho Htigllsli govern

astrous disagreement with tho Kit

to a prudent nation. Therefore, It
concludes, tho Kngllsh are disinclined
