Itnproviuy the Bible.

Those who are best qualified TO Judge of
such matters agree in pronouncing tie King
James version of the Bible model Of style.
But the Rev. Rodolphus Dickinson thought
otherwise, and he therefore put forth a new
translation. Concerning the old version he
said in his preface: There is much incl
egance and inaccuracy N the selection of
words, the structure of sentences, and in
every compartment Of composition" Here
are few of his improvements:
When thou art benencent, let not thy left
hand be conscious of what thy right hand
performs"
Contemplate the lilies of the field, how
they advance"
BE not, therefore, anxious for tomorrow
since that viii claim correspondent atten-
ton
Then his disciples approaching said 20
him, Art thou conscious that the Pharisees
were offended when they heard this observa-
tiona But he, answering, said, Every planta-
ton which my heavenly Father has not cUl-
tivated shan be extrpated. And Peter re-
plying, said to him, Elucidato this parable

como vapid, how c&n il be TestoredF

with angry words spoken by John o. Grady

pealed to arrest the woman on the charge
of insanity. The officer granted the re-
quest. At the police station the woman
gave her name as Louise Gill and her
place of residence as St. Louis. She said
she bad become the wife Of Mr. O'Grady a
year ago in ST. Louis by common law
marriage in the presence of several wit
nesses. She came to Kansas City, she
said, two weeks ago TO prevail upon her al
!. legged husband to recognize her as his wife.
That was the purpose of her call upon him
this afternoon. They quarreled and he
put her out of the Office by force.
Investigation by the police surgeon

and she was released. She then swore out

A MONTREAL SENSATION.
The Case Of Mary AInlcahey and Ralph b.
Husson.

There Is sensation in Montreal which re-
minds one of the stage when the theatre is
darkened and something remarkable is hap
pening, though none OF the audience can tell
exactly what 1t is; when shaaowy forms are
crossing the boards, fitting hithsr and thither,
but whether they are villains or parties TO a
rescue Of prosecuted maiden or preparing
for grand appearance Of Harlequin and Co
lumbia it is impossible to determine.
Mary Mulcahey. of Montreal. was loved
and won by Ralph B. Husson, a young Eng
lishnan Of wealthy pareutaye. Before the
wedding Husson was recalled to England on
account of the illness Of sister. Hs was not
well himself, and grew worse abroad At
last, in a dying condition, he hurried back 10
marry his betrothed- He reached Montreal,
accompanied by his father and physician.
Mary was sent for, but the lover feared that
she might not come in time. He set out in a
sleigh for it was then winter to find her.
he met her as be was about leaving his hotel,
and they drove together towards the place
where the nuptial knot was TO be tied Hus-
son was dying He urged that they might
be made man and wife at once. The father
and the physician joined the dying lover in
his request. A priest was with the party,
and hurriedly performed marriage cere-
mony. A moment later and the groom was
a corpse.
Then follows a singular scene. The father
in-law urges his newly made daughter 10 go
with him to England. She declines.
He used harsh words, and the young widow
left the sleigh. All trace of the dead mans
body was lost, and a story got out the diff
ferent parts of which are very hard to fit
together.
One of the figures in this unilluminated
drama is Maxwell Huntley, who is supposed
to have proposed to Mrs. Husson within
moment Of her husbands death. She spurDed
him, and since then she claims that he has
been writing her threatening letters
A female character who plays a counter
part with Huntley Is Miss Tibbitts, young
woman very highly connected and a grad
uate Of the New Brunswick university, and
at the time Of graduation recipient of the
governor generals medal She is said 70 resem-
Bile Mrs. Husson, and both she and her coun-
terpart are very near the same age, or Is years
old. This Miss Tibbitts was also accused Of
sending the threatening letters, or some Of
them, and was arrested and locked up for
two hours, when, being brought before the
court, she proved an alibi and was discharg-

ed. Then she turned around and proposed
to make it hot for those who had procured
her arrest
The deep, dark plot which is at the bottom
of all this is supposed by the Mulcahey family
to be an attempt Of some one to come be-
tween the elder atr Husson and his daughter
in-law. Others suppose that young Husson
did not return to Montreal at ill, and that he
was personated in the marriage either by a
cold corpse or by practical joker. But the
certificate Of the priest who married the
twain is eytant, throwing doubt on this hy-
pothesis.
Doubtless in due time the footlights viii be
turned up and the actors will appear plainly
