feeling of no one. 1t Is matter for us
to reflect upon, and 1t should incite us
to help our children to cultivate that
spirit OF kindliness which would just as

HOW M'BRIDE DIED.
The Jury in the La Rue Murder
Case Fail to Agree.

The argument in the La Rue murder case
commenced in Judge Skaters court the
first thing yesterday morning.
Assistant District Attorney Love said lie
did not intend to ask the jury to convict
La Rue of murder in the first degree, but
murder in the second degree. The crime,
he declared, contained all the elements of
murder in the second degree. The affair
which caused McBrde's death was prize
fight, pure aud simple. and prize-tight Is
a felony. In the preparation of a felony
man had been killed. 1t would be
no mitigation of the offense 10
show that the immediate cause of
McBride's death was his falling AMI
striking his head on an iron seat. 1t was
his antagonists blow that caused the fall.
Much Of MIR. Loves argument consisted
in iiberals denunciation of prize-fg hts as
they are conducted In athletic clubs. The
club scheme and all its gymnasium para
phernanla was nothing but subterfuge to
evade tile law.
that the fight had been proved mere farce.
The combatants met in the ring simply for
the Jun OF 1t, were good-natured through 1t
all, and the elements of murder were en-
tlrely wanting.
In his charge Judge Shafter instructed
the jury that they must decide whether
McBrldes death was from disease or the
result of blow. If from the former, ac-
quittai must follow; If not, conviction. Ii
these men assembled there Tor priZe-fght
they were guilty of an unlawful act Ii it
was an innocent affair. then each was re-
sponsible for the consequences, and if one
was killed the other was guilty of man.
slaughter. If the jury found that these
men mad participated in prize-fght, then
the defendant was guilty of murder in the
second degree. In weighing the case the
jury should remember that both men were
stripped to the waist and blood flowed
freely as the result of mutual pummeling.
The case was submitted to the jury about
2:30 o'clock in the afternoon. After hours
of consideration the jury failed to agree on
verdict and were discharged. La Rue will
probably have to stand new trial.
The jury stood seven for acquittal and
five for conviction of maIslaughter.

MILTON.
Colonel Homer Il. sprague Lectures on
The Great Poet.

Colonel Homer Il. sprague Lectures on
The Great Poet.
Milton" was the subject Of lecture by
Colonel Homer 3. Sprague last evening at
Irving Hall, on Post street. An admission
fee OF 90 cents was charged and the receipts
resulting from crowded house are to be
presented to the Charitable Fund Of st.
Luke's Church.
History, said the speaker, furnishes no
example of entire conservation to intel
lectual effort more illustrious than that OF
John Milton. The son of London scrlve-
ner, born in 1903, he seems from childhood
to have been conscious of superior powers,
and throughout long and brilliant career
circumst ances combined to develop his pc
cuIiar genius. By strict economy his father
had accumulated a small fortune, and though
Puritan, was lover OF art and literature.
He was thus able and willing to foster the
early indications of genius in his son, who,
from infancy, was destined to the study OF
polite literature.
At the age of II he was admitted to
Christ College, Cambridge! Here MS
poetical tastes manifested themselves, one
of his earliest effusions being the sublime
Hymn on the Nativity which was pro-
duced as a college exercise. After leaving
tie University he passed five years IN
studious pursuits, the chief productions 5. Of p
Wnlcn were OUDluS, II hIlC6lOs Ii
Penseroso and Lycidus."
LII 1888 he started on tour of continental
travel. On this trip he made the acquaint-
ance of many who were illustrious for
learning and genius. He visited Calico,
then a prisoner in the 1nquisitlon. lie
commenced his public career in 1649, when
he was appointed Latin Secretary to the
Council of State.
While holding the office and during the
troublesome times of Charles ii, he pre-
pared his famous "Defensio Populi Angli-
cani," an elaborate essay denying the
divine right of kings. For this and espous-
ing the cause OF the Puritans he was perse-
cIlted by the Royalists after the Restora-
ton. A proclamation was issued against
him and he was forced to conceal himself
from the vengeance of his enemies.
An act of indemnity sanctioned by
Charles III placed him in safety, but lie
never returned TO the world and passed his
last years in retirement composing Para
disc Lost" and Paradise Regained."
