TO-DAY, FREDERICK BAILEY
DEFINING, swindler, bigamist,
and murderer, who, on four con-
tinents, has dipped his hands in
human blood, will be hanged at
Melbourne, Australia.
He is known to have butchered
six wives, and, at the time of his
apprehension, was engaged to be
married to hands ONE girl. His
fendishness has few parallels in
the annals of human slaughter.
Consider the sort of weather we're
having and you'll know the sort of
Clothing we're selling.
Spring Overcoats and Medium
Weight Suits have claimed first place
the past few days.
Everybody knows we sell more
Spring Overcoats, than probably the
rest of the Clothing stores combined.
Prices commence at Sc and follow
close together to $a5. There's still
good picking. Well speak about
Blue Flannel and Serge Suits when
the weather gets right.

Madame joys.

This celebrated Haytien speaker
charmed the large audience at the Cos
pei Mission Hall last evening, with the
eloquent address she gave, relating her
experience and conversion from sun
worshipper to the Christian faith. This
finely educated and talented woman is
endeavoring to perfect her arrangements
so she can leave for the missionary fields
of Africa in the fall. Her address this
evening upon Hayti and the Haytiens,
their customs, marriage rites, burial
modes, worship, etc., is one of her best
efforts

Miss Amelia Chandler, daughter OF
Mr.. Moses Chandler, formerly OF this

after brief illness. Tho remains will

Miss Amelia Chandler died yesterday
morning 3 o'clock, at the home OF her
mother Mrs. Mary g. Chandler, No.
2o2l Euclid avenue, after an illness OF
eleven days. Her sickness began with
what appeared to DO q case OF the pre-.
vailing influenza, and became critical
ABOUT four days ago, when II became
evident That tho lungs and other organs
were becoming steadily moro and more
affected. Death resulted ut lust IRON
sheer physical exhaustion. To those
WHO know Miss Chandler in life, the
sud news OF her death will bring
genuine grief and it will DO long time
before they can realize that her young
lie, SO full OF energy and kindness,
and tho promise Of Il noble and use
lul carcor, has been SO suddenly cut
oil, Perhaps it was ut tho art school OF
this city that Miss Chandler was best
known, outside OF her own family. She

years ut tho school, and her strong, ar

her boundloss enthusiasm Won tho 70.
gard and appreciation OF both teachers
and pupils. But tho friends OF Miss
Chandler will mourn most koenly for
tho loss OF true and sympathetic M.
ture. She was young lady who made
no prctenscs, yet was always doing good
to others. She was singularly direct
and frank in her speech and manner,
and was uniailingly kind and thought
fll OF tho feelings OF others. Wherever
sincerity and generosity aboundod,
wherever kindness and sympathy for
others was tho rule OF life, Amelia
Chandler found a home.

------ Mnrn for thn Ncnr 1RnI W.


mary for tho Year 1891.
Mr.. G. schnepf, the Opera House cor
ncr druggist, furnishes the following
interesting information about the
weather in 1891. 1t is tho result OF
careful observation and will be worth
while to prcserv. to make comparisons
in the future.
In December twelve days were fair,
I'VE clear, four cloudy, and it rained on
eight days and showed OH two, certainly
a rare record for December. The coolest
day was tho 18th. when the mercury got
down to 10 degrees, and on the oath it
got up to 81. Tho average monthly
temperature was 400 degrees. The
rainfall was 9.5l inches. No wonder
people suffered from tho grip.
The following is review OF the
weather for tho year in such form as to
be understood Mt a glance:

Muscular Christianity.

sit is strange how small a thing will
make clergyman immensely popular"
said a minister connected with Trinity
parish to New York Commercial Adj
vertiser reporter, but the manner in
which young clergyman sprang into
prominence was truly remarkable, and
now be is rector of one of the leading
Episcopal churches in Orange. AS
soon as he left college, he being an
active man and the champion athlete of
his college, he set right down to hard
work. He had for his first charge a
small East side mission, which was
like ray Of sunshine among the dark,
murky tenement houses. Some young
men who attended the mission belonged
to an athletic club. and. as their min
lister entered into all their social affairs
with vim. it was not long before he re-
ceived an invitation to attend a scrap
He went, and before he left he boxed
with some of the lads in the club and
beat them al. The clubs best boxer
was absent then, but the members ex-
tracted promise from the young min
lister that he would go around and spar
with their star man. The only stakes
was q promise that if the clergyman
lost he should become q member of
the club, which was offset by promise
that if he won all the members of the
organization would attend the church
for a month. The night Of the fight
came round. and there was large
crowd Of East side sports who went to
see the parson licked. Three rounds
were sufficient to prove that muscular
Christianity, represented by the minis
ter, was victorious. The. result was
that the men of the sporting club paid
their bets by going to church regularly.
Many of them go now, and the church
is Furnishing one
