found dead in his bed. An empty bottle,
which had contained morphine, indicated
the agent he had selected for his suicidal
purpose, an indication confirmed by the
autopsy held at the inquest. Williams was

SECRETARY EvARTs has written letter
to John Welsh, our Minister to England,
in which the question whether the Halifax
Award shall be paid is seriously copsid-
cred. There are some grievances that
must be considered before the money is
turned over. The proviso attached to
the appropriation leaves the matter of
payment discretionary with The President,
and dependent upon the results of the cor
respondence, which can hardly be COM
pleted by the time fixed for the payment,
on account of new complications which
have arisen, growing out of the attack
upon our fishermen off the coast of New.
foudland. 1t is held by many that formal
Endorsement of The acts done by the local
authorities in driving off our fishermen are
really equivalent to decision by Great
Britain that the local laws of her colonies
NAV control the terms upon which our
ships can fish, and that these may over
ride the terms of the treaty. It is held
that these local laws virtually prohibit
American fishermen from enjoying the
benefits for which we are about to pay, and,
therefore, it is deemed exceedingly doubt
full whether payment will be made until
more satisfactory conclusions are reached
than seem to be promised under the present
state of correspondence.

How Napoleon Escaped Assassination

During the campaign of 1909 Napoleon
arrived at Brun, in Moravia. He had
to pass the Old Gate. A steep ascent
leads to this gate, contiguous to which
are several houses; one of these was oc-
cupied by a mechanic as dwelling and
workshop. Among his journeymen was
native of Tyrol, an industrious and
worthy fellow, but, like all his country
men, furious enemy to Napoleon and
the French. On the morning when the
Emperor rode to the Speilburg the
Tyrolese was missing. His comrades
were just talking of him when the ap-
prentice entered the shop and mentioned
that he had seen the Tyrolese at the
window of the loft. This awakened
curiosity, and the master went up to
the loft to see what he was doing; he
found him kneeling at the window, with
a gun ready cooked lying before him,
and his eyes fixed on the road by which
Napoleon was to pass. AS the house
stood on the declivity of the hill, conse-
quently lower than the gate, the EN-
peror on horseback, at the moment when
he came up to the gate, would have been
ON line with the window where his
humble foe had posted himself; and the
distance would have been SO small that
scarcely any marksman, and least of all
a Tyrolese, could have missed his aim
A few minutes after the master had diS
armed his workman Napoleon passed
the gate and rode down the hill. Hi;
destiny was not yet accomplished.

The man who is scrupulously polite
and respectful to all women in public
but habitually saves coarse manners
and vulgar language for his own wife
and daughters, is no gentleman. He is
only an impostor. The young man who
oils his hair, puts sweet odors upon his
pocket handkerchief, and bows with
charming eloquence to Miss Arabella
Spriggins and her lady friends, and goes
home to sneer at his mother, and treat
her with familiar discourtesy, is a
pinch-back imitation only of gentle
man. Genuine good manners and
gentle breeding should begin at home.
As a rule the men in a community who
are the most trusted are the best men.
When a mar opens his front gate only to
see his wife's face at the door radiant
with pleasure, and hears the shout from
the eager children. Papa is comingl"
it is safe as a rule to lend that man
money. He is honest, and will repay il
if he can.

A Humorous Lecturers Experiences


Amusing incidents are apt to occur in
the rural districts. | remember on one
occasion, after the lecture was over,
that the audiel ce, which was made up.
for the most part, of farmers and their
families, seemed disincined to go, but
held their seats, looking up as if ex-
pecting some kind of an after piece
This was so unlike a city audience, who
rush for the door before the last words
are out of the speakers mouth-that l
couldn't help remarking the fact to the
minister who sat with me in the pulpit.
"Ah, yes" said he, "our people are
not accustomed to lectures, and they
are expecting the Doxologyp'
"Then, by all means let them have
it," l said. alt will do us all good"
"If you, SIR" said he, will stand at
the bottom of the steps, the people will
please, as they are going out"
Certainly" / said, with much
pleasure
The minister stood up and told the
audience that, after singing the
Doxology, any one who pleased might
have an opportunity of shaking hands
with the lecturer. Accordingly, took
my position near the door, and if
had been prize bulldog the people
couldn't have been more reluctant tC
pass me. All stood up crowding the
aisles and passage-ways, but no one
moved towards the door. To facilitate
matters [ seized one old fellow by the
hand and gave it shake, and passed
him along. Then came another; ano
him 1 also pump-handled. I held Out
my hand for the next, a rather furtive
looking youth, with red hair and very
speckled face. He approached me in {
jerk and deposited fifteen cents on my
extended palm. Before could get al
explanation, he was out of the door ano
off. In the meantime, the rest began tx
move little faster; and by and by
another fst-full of coppers was thrus
into my hand.
Good Heavens do they suppos'
Pm here to take up collection? They'r'
actually putting money in my hand!
| said to the minister, stepping bacl
upon the platform.
"Oh mol" said he laughing; =" these
are only boys who contrived to get il
without paying, so they think the,
must pay YOU
That was all the hand-shaking
wanted, so let the good people depar
in peace; and they did seem very mucf
relieved when | got up out of thei
way. 1t was money in a good man.

All Saints Day services took place in the
Catholic and Episcopal Churches. The
dec ration of tombs in the cemeteries was
general and elaborate, and visitors. were
more numerous than usual. OF the eighty
eases of fever reported to the Board
of Health to-day, only four are ciassed
as new cases. Physicians who have not
reported cases before are now reporting
them, some dating back several weeks.
The Board of Health had no quorum at
the special meeting called to adopt a res
olution that the epidemic was ended,
and to request the Governor to withdraw
the quarantine proclamation ISSUED in
August Three of the members are out of
town, one sick in bed, and of the remaining
five necessary to quorum, one was absent.
A meeting is called for tomorrow at noon,
when the above resolution will be passed.
DIR. Chopin, President of the Board of
Health, in conversation with the members
today, expressed the opinion that it was
not safe yet for persons to return.
From November 3, we have the following
There are only three or four patients re-
naming at the St. Louis quarantine, ali of
whom are eonyalescens and will be ready
to vacate in few days. Occasional re-
lapses of old eases, and few new cases of
returning refugees, is about all that is now
left in the South of the terrible yellow fever
pestilence.
