NEW YORK, April 0.-lSpcciall- In
spector Byrnes has at last fastened the
crime for the murder of the woman.
Carrie Brown. The murderer ia
"Frenchy No. J." who was arrested Fri
day night, less than 81 hours after COM
uniting the crime, and who has been
under lock and key ever since.
On the night the murder was COM
mitted Frenchy No. occupied room
80 in tho Fourth Ward Hotel with a
woman named Mary Ann Lopez This
room was across the hall from that oc-
cupied by tho woman Brown and her
unknown companion. From informal
t1on in possession Of the police, it ap-
pears that the murdered woman's com
panion had left her some timc before !
o'clock Friday morning.
Frenchy No. had been at one time n
lover of the old woman, but for some
reason had become insanely Jealous of
her. Ho heard her companion leave
the room, and shortly afterward he got
up, and leaving his roommate asleep,
crossed tho hall and deliberately stran-
gled and then Dissent owled his victim.
This Is the story of the police. 1t is
substantiated by the following facts:
When Frenchy No. had completed his
murderous work he re-crossed the hall
and entered room No. 33. In that room
he left evidences of his guilt. When
the police made their Investigation
traces of blood were to be found on every
side.
The only chair the room contained
was covered with blood smeared over it
from tho clothes the murderer wore.
he having sat down upon it when he
entered tho room.
The bed clothes were fonnd to be COW
cred with blood, the murderer sometime
during the night, having thrown himself
upon the bed His stockings, he having re-
moved his shoes to do his bloody work,
are covered with blood and his clothing
was also covered with blood. On tho
walls and ceiling of the little room MANY
small spots of blood were found, tho
man having evidently entered the room
with his hands rocking with blood and
In MS desire to remove 1t he had shaken
and snapped his hands and fingers thus
literally distributing it around the room.
When the fellow was arrested Iaspec-
tor byrnes examined his hands and
finger nails. The latter he carefully
scraped and found plain and distinct
traces Of human blood. To positively
establish the fact the scrapings ana
dirt found under tho nails wore sub
mitted to chemical analysis. From tho
time the man was arrested but little
could be learned from him. He has
made few statements, butall are so yery
contradictory that the police have been
able to make but little use of them.

CHURCH WATCH DOGS.

Unchrlstian Faculty of Some People in
Discovering Small Faults in Others and
kOverlooking Their Own Great Ones.
HtIme persons are very much alarmed
about the small faults of others, and
have no alarm about their own great
transgressions. There are in every
community and in every church watch
dogs ;Tho feel called upon to keep their
eyes on others and howl. They are full
Of suspicious They wonder if that man
is not dishonest, If that man is not I'M
clean, II there is not something wrong
about the other man. They are al.
ways the first to hear of any
thing wrong. Vultures are always the
first to smell carrion. They are
self-appointed detectives. l lay this
down as a rule without any exception,
that those people who have the most
faults themselves are most merciless
in their watching of others. From scalp
of head to sole of foot they are full Of
jealousies and hypercriticisms. They
spend their life in hunting for musk
rats and mud turtles instead Of hunting
for Rocky mountain eagles, always for
something mean instead of something
grand. They look at their neighbors'
imperfections through microscope,
and look at their own through a tele-
scope upside down. Twenty faults of
their own do not hurt them so much as
one fault of somebody else.-Talmage,

BLASTS FROM "RAM's HORN. 4"

The man who prays right will live
right.
No man can go right who does not
look right.
When God looks at man the first
thing He sees is his heart.
No man has any more religion than
he is willing to profess.
There is not a man on earth strong
enough to overcome himself without
help from God.
The world is full of people who tire
themselves and others nearly to death
in trying to rest.
The devil is always glad to see peo-
pie join church who have no intention
of making any change in their con-
duct.
There are too many people in the
church who are willing to be made
pure in heart, but vino want to put it
off as long as they can.
The well-to-do church member who
takes wormy dried apples and rusty ba-
con to the parsonage door in the name
of the Lord, has never learned the a, b,
c Of being religious.

THE ALL THINGS.

They Shall Surely BE Ours II We Taxa
the Single Things That Come to Us, for
God Is Faithful.
To the average man there is some
thing very faith-trying, indeed, almost
exasperating, in the sublime assertions
of the Bible. "There are no Ifs" in
them. No hint is given of any posi-
bility that the commands may prove
too much for human ability, or the
promises remain beyond the reach OF
human attainment. ''Be We holy"
keep my commandments" 'Tf ye
shall ask anything in my name, / will
do it," There is no BE as holy as We
can" keep my commandments as
well as you are able" II will do it if
l think best" Everything is present
and absolute, not future or conditional.
So with that wonderful argument, or
rather question-for an argument i'm;
plies promise, and who can Law down
a promise that shall include GOODWIN
which Paul commences that passage
closing the eighth chapter of Romans:
"He that spared not His own Son, but
delivered Him up for us all, how shall
He not with Him also freely give us all
things?" Then follows the enumeration
of the "all things" Not merely is the
justification assured, but the very
temptations, the tribulations, the peril,
the sword are conquered and put within
our grasp; and those once overcome,
there is no limit to the power of the
soul, to compass death, life, angels, prin'
cipalities, powers, or any other creature,
and make them subserve its advance in
growth into the image of God. 1t is
magnificent, and as we read, the very
words seem to lift our souls into purel
air, and we can appreciate the feelings
of the disciples on the Mount Of Trans
figuration; but pretty soon some very
mundane and material thing dissipates
our vision, and we are apt to feel con
quered rather than conquerors

About the Human House.

A teacher was giving lesson on the
human body to bright class of six
year olds. She began by asking about
the school-houses, then let them tell
something about the houses they lived
in. Then she told them that God had
made little house for each of us alone.
They quickly understood, and eyes were
shining and hands raised. ''Oh, Miss

ELSIE'S IDEA.
How She Found a Little Girl Who Could Be
Spared.

How She Found q Little Girl Who Could Be
Spared.
Elsie is a delightful little girl only
eight years old For some months
Elsie's mamma has not been well, and
she has felt the need of performing the
social duties of the home circle. In
carrying out this idea she recently
made call on neighbor who, before
she left, said: "Elsie, do you know
any dear little girl like yourself who
could come and live with me? l should
be delighted to have such little girl.
Do you think your mamma could spare
you?"
"Oh. am quite sure she couldn't"
was Elsie's quick response, land do
not know any little girl who could be
spared. My cousin Dorothy's mamma
couldn't spare her, and know my cou-
sin Mildred couldn't be spared. and |
really don't know any little girl who
could come and live with YOU"
SWELL" said the lady, "thinl1 about
it, and if you do happen to think of any
little girl, be sure and let me know"
The next morning Elsie was very
quiet at the breakfast table, but she
finally announced that she wished to
call that morning at the house of the
lady where she had called the after
noon before. Elsie lives in very wise
family, and no questions were asked as
to why she wished to repeat her call so
soon. She was merely advised to wait
for an hour or two after breakfast be-
fore she made her call; and this is what
Elsie said when her hostess appeared:
"Mrs. Brown, l have come to tell you
of little girl who I am sure could
come and live with you. She lives now
at the Home for Consumptives, and she
came from the Home of the Destitute;
but she is all well now. Her mother is
in prison, and her father is a drunlxard,
and think you would be doing very
kind act if you would take that little
girl into your home. know she could
come"
Elsie, you see, lived in family where
the little waits and the big waits in this
world, the homeless children and the
homeless men and women, were often
the subjects of conversation, and Elsie
had listened, and listened to purpose,
for just as soon as she heard of home
that needed a child, she remembered
there was child waiting for home.
