ostentatious; humble, trustful, hODeful, he
lay peacefully down TO rest. and TO reap
his rich reward. IL was a lesson not to be
forgotten TO see the room In the stately
mansion where John Drumgoole lived aud
died. Through his hands passed millions,
but Il all went to the poor and the neeiv,

II is customary to rear monuments to
men who have distinguished themselves
among their fellows; but so long as one
brick remains above another In the House
OF the lmmacula Conception, and so long
as poor homeless waits are gathered into
its sheltering care. Father John Drumgoole
will need no nobler monument.

A shocking climax to double life cul-

wife's brother. In Brooklyn lived gentle
man and his sister by the name Of Green,
both persons of comfortable fortune. From
the time of their mothers death the sister
KEEP house for her brother, and as their
means were ample their lives were peace
ful and happy. Near by was neighbor by
the name of Goldenkirch, a handsome

was frequent visitor at the Green mansion,

but this made no difference to Gollenkirch
or the sister. He came just as before. Last

mansion, and was met at the door by Mr..
Green, who forbade hlm to enter. Golden
kirch pushed him on one side, and Green
shot him dead on the spot. II then APP
peared that Miss Green and Mr. Golden
kirch had been married for FIVE years. He
had concealed the fact of his marriage
from his faml and she had never men
toned it to her brother, though in daily in

of her marriage life. The fatal secret has
been dearly paid for, especially as there
appears to haye been particular reason Why
the marriage should not have been made
public. The murdered man was upright.
honest and industrious. and the lady of

murderer is now in Jail awaiting trial, and
the STRICKEN wife now hoyers between life
and death.

a funny case was that of ellison Rhine
