cism." He referred to the recent woman 8.
suffrage convention in that city, and, in
his comments on it, said that when women
are given too much liberty they branch
of into skepticism and Immortality. He
instanced George Eliot, Madame Roland,
Harriet Martineau, and Victoria Woodruff
as examples Of the truth Of his assertion.
But Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth
Cady Stanton were in the audience watch
ing him; and, when he got through his
sermon, they mounted the platform and
went for Brother Patten with the fine
fury of female wildcats. They tore him
to pieces Susan said that, if his mother
were living, she would take him across her
knee and spank him; and Susan looked as
if she would like to spank him for his
mother. After the two ladies had torn
Brother P. to bleeding shreds and tossed
his CORY fragments into the air, without
waiting for his reply, or explanation, or
apology, they rushed out of the church
and went home with war in their hearts
against all mankind.

A Story OF Dean Buckland.

He was the father of Mr. Frank
Buckland. the well-known naturalist.
and shared his sons tastes for all kinds
of strange beasts, alive and dead, and
the deanery was crowded with eagles.
serpents, and monkeys-a veritable
menagerie. One of my earliest recol-
lections of Westminster is connected
with story my grandfather used to
delight in telling us as small children.
He went to dine at the deanery with
Dean Buckland, and in the course of
dinner a dish of some quite unknown
meat was set before him. There was
evidently mystery or joke about this
dish; but my grandfather and the 9TH
er guests ate it bravely, though feeling
all the while certain that an expert
ment was being tried on them. When
dinner was over the dean confessed.
He had for long time wished to know
how "fox" tasted, and friend having
sent him nice young fox the dean
thought it fine opportunity to share
the dainty with his guests-a privilege
they did not at all enjoy.-Rose Kings

and pathetic form Of eloquence:

1t is uncomfortable for over-patriotic
American travellers in England just at this
time. An American on train last Sum-
day from London to Liverpool got into q
discussi on with some British passengers
over Americas responsibility for the dyna-
mite explosions in London. The British
gentlemen were severe on U. 8. for
hsrboring such men as ODonovan Rossa.
The American defended U. s., but we
don't know on what ground. The crowd
of passengers attacked him, when he
whipped out revolver and kept them at
bay. 1t appears that travelling English
men do not carry guns in their clothes
They stood from the Americans shooter

Even our British lions tailtwister in

Later: Robinson has been misrepre-
sented. He comes out square in favor Of
blowing up everything British, even if it
has to be done with dynamite and murder
of innocent women and children. Is he a

Lnvsn 1r-- SCHEME "A Jealous Husband Blows His Wife's
 Head Off With A Shotgun.

CHICAGO. Nov. 22.-As cold blooded a murder as has ever been committed in Chica- go was perpstrated last evening at No. 3f5 West Monroe street, an apartment house in which Samuel Smith and his wife have been living About o'clock Smith shot his wife with double barreled shotgun, the charge blowing the top of her head off and killing her instantly When Mr.. Delong, the pro- prietor, knocked at the door and asked the of the explosion, Smith replied that he had accidently exploded she'll About half an hour later Smith was heard to leave the house and as yet there is not the slight est clue to his whereabouts. To-day MT. DeLong, receiving no reply to his repeated
 rappin $ at the door of the Smiths, forced it
 and found the body of Mrs. Smith stretched
 on the floor. She had been instantly killed,
 a charge of the gun having entered her head
 just back of the right and tearing its
 way through the brain. An explanation of
 the trouble may be found in two letters
 written by J. H. L. Beckford, former lover
 of Mrs. Smith, which were discovered among the papers in Smiths room.
 Mrs Smith, whose maiden name was
 Emma Taylor, came from New Orleans. In
 Cleveland she met Beckford, fell in love with
 him and became engaged. Before the mar riage was consummated Smith came upon the scene and induced Miss Taylor to elope with him to Buffalo. Thence they came to Chica-
 go. It would appear from Beckford's letters that he followed the couple here and has haunted Mrs. Smith more or less since his arrival in this city. The testimony of the people with whom the couple have lived tends to strengthen the belief that Mrs. Smith was very frivolous and thafher husband was de cidedly jealous. Mrs. Smith was visited ire quently by man supposed to be Beckford and it is probable that she and her husband uuarrelled, during which he killed her.
