Pelted by Invisible Hands.

This city, says a Forsyth (Ga.) dis
pGtch, is much excited over mysteriors
developments in house three miles
ou., occupied by Mrs. Sandifer and
Ms. McAfee, two widowed sisters.
TIE house is continually pelted with
stones, which seem 10 come rom. no.

A visit % the house found tie ladies
at home surrounded by number of
friends, who were vainly ende:voriDg
to fathom the mystery. The trouble
started several days ago, when a stone
fell violently upon The oof of the house.
Mrs. McAfee THOUGHT it was a negro
boy on the premises who had been
guilty of the decd, ard repro, ed him
for it, but he clearly showed his inno-
cence. In short time another fell,
and then apooIeI, and as stones kept
falling, some striking the roof, some

was made OF the premises without

it had come out of a branch about 100
yards distant. Some people think the
stones come from the sky, but wher-

many people to praying, and when
taken in connection with the number of
electrical girls who are coming to the
front some folks assert that the end of
the world is at hand.

DR.. "Graveyard" Walker.

DR.. George Alfred Walker, known as
''Gravcyard' Walker, who died last
week at his residence, Ynsyfaig, Bar
mouth, North Wales, after brief ill
ness, was born at Nottingham in 1907.
He became licentiate of the Society
of Apothecaries in 1929, and a member
of the Royal College of Surgeons in
1881. He studied for a heightened pc
Rod at the Aldersgate-street school,
and at St. Bartholomew hospital,
completing his professional education
in Paris. Early in life he was deeply
engrossed by the terrible upturnings of
human remains in graveyards, which
he had seen in various. parts of the
country. For many years he resolute-
ly waged crusade against intramural
interments, which ultimately brought
about the passing of the law forbid
ding burials in church vaults, and
which led to the construction of public
cemeteries. In 1S47 he gained posses
ion OF the notorious EnOn chapel. in
London, from which he eXhumed sew
eral thousand bodies in various stages
of decay, and had them entombed in a
monster grave in Norwood Cemetery.
he was the author of several works on
sanitary reform and the graveyard
question, and wrote a number of treat
les on the skin, ulcers, govt, rheuma-
tism, sciatica and indigestion, which
laid the foundation of new era in the
treatment of disease.

TRAILING ARBCTUS.

In spring when branches of woodbine
Hung leafiess over the rocks,
And feecy snow In the hollows
Lay In unsupported focks,
BY the road where dead leaves rustled,
Or damply mated the ground,
While over me gurgled TIE robin
His honey'd passion of sound.

Blooming in modes.y sweet,
And gathered sto .e of its riches
Offered and spread at my feet.
1t grew under leaves, as IL seeking
No hint of itself to disclose,
And out of its pink-whire petals
A delicate perfume arose.
AS faint as the fond remembrance
OF Joy that was only dreamed,
And like q divine suggestion
The scent of the flower seemed.

For love unselfish and pure,
And had found Ii In good deeds blooming
Tho often in hands obscure.
Often in leaves bv the wayside,
But touched wa a heavenly glow,
And with self-sac .ifice ftagraut,
The flowers of great love grow.

AS year unto year succeeds,
Be thou the LAUREL and emo EN-

A Tooth Betrays a Murderer.

TORONTO (Can) NAL,
Guibal, the assassin, has Just been
convicted at Perpignan of the murder
OF a girl named Marie Cerbere. The
evidence Which proved him to be her
murderer was very curious. Guibal
bad been suspected of having killed
the girl, as she had never been seen
since one day when she was known to
have been in his company But he
sirenuously denied all knowledge of
her, and the case was about to be aban-
doned for want of proof, when a girl
came forward who had been Marie's in
innate friend. ''.Search among the pos
sessions of the accused" she said, land
see if you can find among them a gold
ring set with woman's tooth instead
of a stone. The tooth is mine-here is
the space from which it was taken
and had it set and gave it to Marie
Cerbere as token of friendship The
ring was found among the hoard of
trinkets belonging to Guibal, and on
hearing of its discovery he confessed.

Continued depression in the lumber
business of Canada is having
depressing effect on other industries
there.
An organization Of Ohio Republi-
cans sent letter addressed to.
Senator Lot Nj. Morrill,. of Maine, to
ask him to 60 to that State and
vindicate the character of Mr..
Blaine, which was being sorely as
sailed. The letter was opened by the
Senator's. widow, he having been
dead eighteen months at the time of
its receipt. She turned the sheet
over and wrote on the back of it an
indignant reply, saying she was
shocked at receiving such letter,
as she thought every citizen of the
country knew her husband was AT
rest. % ! am in mourning for him,
she wrote, nut as much as mourn
his death, thank my Father in
heaven that He called him home be-
fore the party he loved so well, and
did so much for, had so disgraced
itself as to nominate so wicked and
corrupt man for the highest office

ACTIONS OR WORDS ?

The G0zette's article of yesterday
has, as was to be expected, met with
the approval of the party supporting
the present state of affairs. A policy
Of aimless recrimination against the
present Ministry, with no definite
scheme of improvement and no re-
spOnsible opponents of principles,
will just suit that section Of the
community. While every intelligent
and honest man will admit that some
of the Ministerial measures and
works have been in the interest of
the country, no one can show that
the general course of the Ministry
has been businesslike and statesman
like. The deranged finances of the
Kingdom, the impoverished treasury
and credit, and the trail of dictator
ship from within and without-all
are results of bad government, and
all react with damage to even
the approvable operations of the
Ministry. We wish, as strongly
as our neighb0r, to educate public
opinion up to the duties of the time.
But we want to know for what and
for whom we are paving the way in
our efforts to overturn n policy that
has, on the whole, resulted disas.
trously, and have unfaithful stewards
of the state dismissed. Organiza-
tion is needed to make the best of
the correct public opinion that now
permeates the body polite, and to
prevent its being made of none effect
by improper or unlawful means.
Unless there is enough of the right
sort of public opinion extant to save
the country on the first opportunity,
then the demands frequently made
by popular organs for the Ministry
to resign, are vain as the noise of
sounding brass and tinkling cymbals.

this august body ever assembled
outside of the British Islands, and
the event was therefore great COM
plimcnt TO the Canadian commercial
metropolis. which its citizens fully
justified by most hospitable and
princely welcome to their dstin-
guished visitors. The formal open
ing was made by grand reception
rendered by the Corporation and
citizens, assisted by Lord Lans-
downc, Governor-G General, aud Sir
John Macdonald. Premier of the
Dominion, and local notables. Sir
William Thompson made brief and
happy speech in reply to the felici-
tous words of welcome delivered
by the C,overnor-General. Lord
Lansdowne seems to rival his
ilustrous predecessor. Lord Duff
ferin, in the gift Of the CAB and the
aroma of the blarney stone. Lord
Rayleigh. Professor Of Experimental
Physics in the University Of Cam
bridge. the new President Of the
Association, delivered n mastery
opening address, i'm which he broadly
reviewed recent achievements in
science. In feeling reference TO
the late Sir W. Siemens, that
practical scientist TO whom the
world owes many incalculable
mechanical advantages, he i'm
parted the lesson that, in nine
cases out of ten, success in inven-
ton depends as much upon good
judgment and perseverance as upon
fertility of imagination. In the
field of electricity. the dynamo
machine is founded upon discoveries
Of Faraday now more than half a
century old, but it has required the
protracted labors of many inventors
to bring it to its present high degree
Of efficiency. He looked forward
to the early success of the electric
light for general use, as it had
triumphed in the lighting of large
assembly places and ocean pas
senger ships. When the necessary
power can be obtained from the fall
of water, instead of from the COM
/ bustion of coal, he said. the condi-
tions of the problem of electric
lighting are far more favorable.
This is useful hint for Honolulu,
and taken in connection with ano-
ther probability stated by Lord Ray
leigh, is of the utmost Importance
alike to our people and to the COM
pany chartered to furnish them with
gas-light. In the opinion of good
judges, he said, the steam-engine
will before long have to give way to
its younger rival, the gas-engine.
The natural falls in the vicinity of
this city, as well as the evident
practcability of getting : sufficient
head from the rain collected on the
mountains, would make the electric
lighting of our city comparatively
easy. There would be no occasion
for the sacrifice of the gas-plant in
that event, if gas was generally
adopted for cooking purposes, and
more especially if the gas-engine
reached an acceptable degree of per-
fection. In future issues we shall
give our readers further notes upon
the meeting of the Association.

reasons for dismissing Marshal
