 The Growing Indifference to Religion.
 NEW YORK, May 1.-The Rev. Monsignor Capel delivered a lecture at St. Agnes (R. O. church this evening to an audience composed exclusively of men. EsThe reverend gentleman selected for his subject t'The growing in- difference to religion" and prefaoed his re- marks by saying that the lecture would be followed by a sermon next Sunday morning. Monsignor Capel in the course of the lecture said there were three evils which made men indifferent to religion. Thesfrst was the desire for wealth, the second was intellectual aspirations, and the third the desire for po- itlcal success, and in all these things men in nearly every instance lose sight of the final end, and instead of being primary these as- pirations and desires should be secondary. But, said the lecturer, the greatest evil they had to contend with was the curse of infideli- ty. The reverend gentleman was listened to with marked attention by an audience of different breeds filling the church to it's doors.

A Fair BOrG1a-The Crime That Found
 Out & BeautIfaI Woman.
 BERLIN, May 11.-Elberfeld, in Rhenish Prussia, near Dusseldorf, has been relieved of it's local excitement over the poisoning case of Mrs. Anna Stutt by her conviction to-day on charges of having rid herself of two obnoxious husbands by administering poison to them in their food. The first hus- band became tiresome to her when she fell in love with Stutt, and Stutt it is said aided her in her first Borgian attempt. She soon wssried of him too. and, becoming enamour- ed of third lover, managed to have Stutt fall seriously ill and die before he could make any disclosures. In her second effort to be- come widow, Mrs Stutt acted alone, not daring to take her lover into her confidence. He became alarmed at Stutt's sudden demise and broke off his relations with the woman. This attracted suspicion and led to the in vsstigation which resulted in the woman's trial and conviction. The prisoner is rather prepossessing in appearance. She was sen fenced to fifteen years penal servitude.
