A Deed of Horror.

NEW DIRK, October 31.-NIrs Seguin, aged
thirty-six, the wife Lof Edward C. Seouin. a
noted specialist on diseases of the brain, shot
and killed her three young children this after
noon and then killed herself, at AZ west TWEEN
tieth street. = There is no other cause known
Tor the terrible tragedy than insanity in the
mother. The children were Edward D. aged
six years; John Van Duyn, aged five, and
Jeannette, aged four years. They were all
shot through the head and instantly killed
Inc mothers death was sudden, and probably
painless as theirs. The friehtful feature oc
the tragedy is the manner ofthe murder. Mrs
oeguln look the children to an empty spare
room at the top of the five-story house in the
absence of her husband, and when the ser
wants were engaged in the basement. and
locked herself in with them. The servants
believed that they had gone out for a walk
what happened in the room will never be
known, but when DR.. Amidon, Mrs. Seguin's
brother, called at o'clock and with his sus.
plclons aroused by the long absence of the
family made search of the house. mother
and children were found dead all shot tbrouoh
the head. :. The children's hands were tied be-
hind their backs with whipcord; thew were
blindfolded with hantkerchefs and from all
appearances they must have been shot while
playing blindman's buff with their DESTROYER
They had been dead for at least an hour and
half and were quite cold. Three pistols
were foun d in the room, all of large calibre
and all had been used
1t is in evidence that Mrs. Segun had been
respondent from physical causes for some
tlme' but she had shown no symptoms of in
sanity. She was small, slim woman of ner-
yous temperament. Her domestic life was
very happy and there was no family trouble

A young man in an Illinois town stepped
INTO church door moment one Sunday
while the services were going, and the smart
minister saw him and shouted, $50 out,
young man, she is not here" The young man
was embarrassed for moment, and then re-
membering several ministerial scandals that
were in the courts, he said loud enough for al
to hear him. Eyes, she is, you old duffer. You
have got her hid behind the organ, and you
want to go home with her yerself" The
minister blushed and said the services would
close by singing the doxology.

CONSOLATION.

In the bitter waves Of woe,
Beaten and tossed about
By thesullen winds that blow
From the desolate shores of doubt,
Where the anchors that faith has cast
Are dragging in the gale,
lam quietly holding fast
To the things that cannot fail.
know that right is right;
That 1t is not good to lie;
That love is better than spite,
And neighbor than spy;
know that passion needs
The leash of a sober mind;
know that generous deeds
Some sure reward will find. s.5 -r-i
That the rulers must obey;
That the givers shall increase;
That Duty lights the way
For the beautiful feet of Peace;
In the darkest night of the year,
When the stars have all gone out,
That courage is better than fear;
That faith is truer than doubt.
And fierce though the iends may fight,
And long though the angels hide,
know that truth and right
Have the universe on their side:
And that somewhere beyond the stars
Is a love that is better than fate
When the night unlocks her bars
q Ishall see him-I will wait.
