Whether it was the political excite

congrcgate about the hotels striving to pick up
stray bits ofncws from those who were the friends

so that not even the stately and doep.lunged Mary

A AMurder Mystery Unravsued.
 NEW YORK, May 18.-The district attor- ney's detectives succeeded in working up the clues furnished by Mrs. Finck to almost certain successful conclusion. Rev. Dr. Ma son says that on May he married man and woman. His description of the couple tallies with Mrs. Finck's story. The couple were traced to different parts of this city and finally to Scherer's Hotel, which they reached on Monday, May ?. They registered as MT. and Mrs. Kettler and said they were going to France by the Amerique May 4. They left the place about noon on Tuesday. Late that night the man returned alone and seemed un- easy. He said his wife had gone to her sis ter's house to spend the night. His trunks were sent to the steamer and there is no doubt but that he sailed on Wednesday, the 4th. He will be arrested on the other side, instructions having been given to that effect.

Review of the Revision,

LONDON, May 18.--The StGndard has an important editorial on the revised version of the New Testament This article is the first really striking opinion published. Following are the main points Whatever scholars may think of the labors of the revisers, the i'm precision produced upon the public mind is one of disappointment and dissatisfaction. It is deeply to be regretted that the revisers have apparently forgotten the conditions un- der which it was entrusted to them. It is ob- vious that great many of the alterations adopted have been approved for reasons of mere literary criticism which make us rather skeptical as to the infallible or even good taste of the revisers. One word has been substituted for another at the whim of the New Testament company. Even the Lords prayer, which every child learns to lisp at it's mothers knee, has not been spared. The revisers have handled it as bold commenta- tor might handle notoriously corrupt cho- rus in the Eumemdes or the Vaccine. St. PauIs praise of charity is mangled and made irrecognizable by the senseless substitution of the word tgoven for charity"
