UDDERzoOK's CONFESSION New
York Herald publishes the confession of VIM.
Z. Undertook, who was hanged in West
Chester, Pa, in November, 1874, for the muir
der of his brother-in law, W. s. Goss. Goss
had his life insured for S25 900, and conspired
with Undertook to burn building which
they occupied as shop, and make it appear
that Goss had persisted in the flames. The
building was burned and some chaned re-
mains found in it were said to be those of
Goss. The latter meanwhile was concealed
in Delaware county, Pa. The insurance
companies suspected something wrong and
put detectives on the case Undertook, be-
coming alarmed murdered Goss, hiding his
body in the woods near Penningtonville,
Chester county Some buzzards lowering
over the spot attracted the attention of
neighboring farmer and the body was found.
1t was identified, and Undertook was arrested
and hanged. His confession was entrusted
to his counsel, with instructions that it was
not to be published until the expiration of
five years after his death.

Fair Play Is q Jewel.

Our readers are, doubtless, familiar
with the anecdote which tells of the
heroic self-denial of Sir Philip Sidney,
as he lay bleeding on the field of Tut
phen. His attendants had procured a
bottle OF wine. just as the bleeding
knight was tasting it, he saw wounded
soldier carried by who cast a longing
ook on the wine. "My poor fellow |!
lehy necessity is greater than mine, said
Sidney, as he ordered the bottle to be
given him.
Brave men have not infreouently ex-
hibited similar self-denving spirit.
The late Admiral Farragut records in
his journal one such display. It oc-
CURED in one of the naval battles of the
war OF 1912, when the Essex was at
tackled by two British ships of war.
Lieut.. Cowell, of the Essex. being
badly wounded in the leg, was carried
into the cockpit, where the surgeons had
their hands full. Seeing him, one of the
doctors dropped another patient and pro-
posed to amputate the leg forthwith.
No, doctor, none of that" answered
the gallant officer; " fair play is a Jewel.
One mans lief is as dear as another. I
won't cheat any poor fellow out of his
turn.
When his turn came, an hour or two
after, it was too late. The amputation
was performed, but the patient was too
weak to survive it.

labors, extracted, he says, from 1,733
authors, II, 600 folio pages, in this strik-

the history of the world. Not only does
all harmonize with the mission of Christ,
all is subordinated to it" "When I
saw this he adds, "it was to me as
wonderful and surprising as the light
which Paul saw on his way to Damascus,
the fulfllment of all hopes, the compile

and moral here is life and immortality.
