DETROIT, January l5.-Unusual COM
plications growing out of the tragic fate
Of Frank Knoch. his wife and their two
children, who. couple of weeks ago.
were murdered aud the bodies burned in
the ruins Of their home. were developed
here to-day. A short time after the
tragedy The relatives of the murdered
family began to dispute over the little
property that had been left. Last week
Gus and Herman Knsch filed petitions
for the administration Of the estate,
which is valued at $4,000. To-day a
counter petition was filed by the attor-
nsy. asking for the administration Of the
estate of Frank Knocks children. This
petition is on behalf OF the grand
mother, two uncles and three aunts of
the deceased children, the theory being
that Frank Knoch was murdered first,
the two children thus becoming bis
heirs, and their heirs being two grand
mothers. paternal grandmother having
since died, and left her children heirs.
The whole case turns on the question as
to who of the family were first killed

Lord carnarvon,. ne.isnation


NEW YORK. January l5.-A Herald's
cable says: The resignation Of Lord
Carnarvou was the principle topic this
afternoon among the members OF Parlia-
ment. and especially among the Irish
members, few of whom believe that the
Office Of Lord Lieutenant Is to be
abolished forthwith. A majority accept
the announcement as true. but are di-
vided in opinion whether to regard it as
blessing or rs something to deplore,
and constituting another Irish grievance.
Several Irish members deeply regretted
the change, on the ground that the resig-
nation Of Lord Carnarvon left affairs for
the time in ireland to be administered
by three gentlemen, two of whom were
known TO be fervid apti-National
Leaguers. 1t meant that Lord Carnar-
von's mild rule was to be superseded by
the iron hands Of Prince Edward OF
SAKE d. WeilAr, Commander in Chief;
Vice Chancellor Chatterton. and the
Right Hon. j. T. Bell, ex-Lord Chancel-
lor Of Ireland. One of the trio is an Or
angeman. 1t is asserted that Mr.. Bell
will be the executive official.

NEW YoRK, January ia London
cable special says: Two gentlemen
wrote to Mrs. Weldon on behalf of M =.
Gounod, suggesting that she relax in
her pursuit Of the composer and allow
him to come to England in order
to conduct the performance Of his
"Mors ct Vita, in Albert Hall. which
is to be given at the Queens request.
Mrs. Weldon has replied that she is
astonished at the impudence of this re-
quest. She has just returned from
Paris and is setting the law in motion,
by every means in her power, with a
view OF obtaining damages for the libel
with which she charges Gounod. She
declares that if he sets foot in England
he will have him arrested at once.
Gounod. when interviewed ON the sub
ject, was silent as to the law suit and its
cause. but complained Of Mrs. Weldon's
incessant persecution for twelve years.

Gil of State existed only in name. 1t

apart from the three Prime Ministers.
As consequence the heads Of the ex-
ecutive departments were not personally
responsible for the administration Of
trusts in their charges. The new re-
form consists in the abolition of the
Council OF State, the Offices of the three
Prime Ministers, the formation Of re-
sponsible Cabinet, consisting of tho
chiefs Of departments, with one Of their
number as President of the Cabinet.
Several other changes have been made,

side world. but they form only the
smallest part OF its female population.
As far as wit, beauty and culture are
concerned the working-women OF
Washington are equal to those who
pose as leaders of Washington society.
The Government clerks, for instance,
come as rule from good families, and
form the best society of the towns or
cities from whence they come. They
are often the daughters of old families,
now reduced in wealth, but high in
education and social culture; they are
often, in fact, ladies to the manner
born, whereas your Congressman's
wife gets her social standing through
her husbands position, and her career
has often been that of Hannah Jane"
without the nobility of Hannah
James" nature. Still there are many
bright women in Washington society,
and there are many women OF cosmo-
pOlitan tastes and culture. 1t is curl
Gus society in that the old woman fig
ures in it as much as the young one.
and that the mother is cOurted and
adored while the daughter often stands
in the background. Life in Washing
ton, whether in work or in pleasure,
has a tendency to broaden the woman
more than that of other cities. The
people met are SO various in their tastes
and localities that the general topics
rather than personal gossip has to form
large part of the general converse
ton. The fate of friends and of the
women themselves depends so much
upon the political situation. upon the
bearing of public questions. and the
character of prominent men that these
largely take the place of talk about the
neighbors and the troubles of house
keeping. There is stimulant for
reading. and the meeting of so MANY
strangers is an education in itself. The
result is that the average Washington
woman has all her faculties sharpened
and her nature broadened by her life.
She is the best product of the advanced
American civilization of to-day

1t is sometimes said that converse
ton is one of the lost arts. Instead Of
discussing great themes and great
common interests when we meet we
only repeat stereotyped remarks about
the weather, or canvass the latest local
scandal or newspaper report. We
toss the old topics to and fro with
HOMOGENEOUS iteration, as players pitch
and catch the same ball. hour after
hour. There is too much truth in this
criticism. And it is emphatically true
of Christian conversation. We have
cranks and bummers in many of our
congregations, and floating about from
church to church, who give us any
amount of pious talk, Christian cant,
ano the froth of shallow religious
sentimentalism. But of men and
women who can talk about Christ
modestly, earnestly and lovingly. SO as
to interest and edify. alas, how few
there are! If such only are to be made
up as jewels in that day, small indeed
| will be the diadcm representing this
generation!
Our religion shall reveal itself in our
conversation both negatively and posi-
lively. First of all Christian will
avoid all irreverence. He will not
make sacred things common. He will
not repeat those silly jests in which
Scripture words and phrases are
travestied. Then, he will avoid all in.
sincerity. He will speak, always,
truth with his neighbor. He will moi
tell what are called "white lies" in
business or in social life. And above
all he will speak 1.-The truth in love-
He will be charitable. He will have
not only an honest but benevolent
motive in all that he says. If he talks
with a neighbor or a stranger it viii
be, not as mere pastime, but with the
desire and prayer that he may be abl'
to say something that will do hin
good.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-08-18

His marriage brought him in contact
with men and omen who led blame.
less lives, who did good work in IT,.
world, and who yet lived as If they
were in the presence of Judge, u
Father and Friend. His young wife
brought him face to face with new
power, and discovered to him new
motive Of life-pcrsonal loyalty to u
personal God. From the day of his
marriage he seems 20 have been swayed
BY motive power that had hitherto
been wanting in his life-to do his duty
before the living God.
Four years after his marriage he
wrote his wife, from the scenes of his
former dissipation and folly:
"a can not understand how a man
who reflects upon himself, and who
neither knows God nor desires to know
Him-1 can not understand how such
Il man can endure a life so burdened
with cnnui and self-contempt. | can
not tell how used to bear it; if were
again obliged to live as l once did,
without God, without you and the chill
dren. really do not see why should
not cast this life aside like a dirty
shirt"
Twenry-three years after. he wrote
her, in the excitement of the French
war:
'If were not Christian, I would
not serve the King another hour. If
did not obey my God and put my trust
in Him, my respect for earthly rulers
would be but small. If l did not be-
lieve in a Divine Government of the
world which had pre-destined the Ger.
man nation to something good and
great, would abandon the diplomacy
at once. l do not know whence my
sense of duty should come except from
God. Titles and decorations have nc
charm for me. Take away from me
my belief in my personal relations to
God, and am the man to pack up my
things tomorrow, to escape to Varzir
(his country-seaD, and look after my
crops"
Doubtless, like all who try to live by
faith in God, Bismarck. being man
has fallen short of his ideal. In the
opinion of many good and wise men
he has again and again made serious
mistakes. But admitting these errors
and shortcomings, this significant fac
appears:
One of the greatest statesmen OF thu
age confesses that he has been swaye(
in his craftsmanship by his belief tina
he was carrying out Divine purpose
The most successful statesman of tn,
age says that thoughts of God and i'm
mortality have lifted him up above tn
praises of men and the selfish gratiti
cation of his pride and all mere per
sonal ambition.
Gladstone, like Bismarck, acknOwl
edges his reliance in the unseen ant
directing hand. Faith is the strengt
of truly great minds, the motive powe
of unseltish action, and all truly grea
and fruitful endeavor.
Trust in the God that made thee
and follow the sea that is SILENT"
