His other most startling preparations
are the murder of one of his numerous
wives and his five children, at RainhiiI
near Liverpool, where their bodies were
discovered under the fireplace; and the
murder of his last wife, at Windsor, near
Melbourne, Australia It is curious
that he made himself grave digger as
we'll.
Heis believed to be quite sane, al
though his brain will OF course be ex-
amined after death. He is about a.
years old, five feet six inches in height,
has great breadth of shoulders and O
slight stoop. His head is narrow in
front and bullying in the back and be-
hind the ears, his eyes, of washed out
blue, are sunk deeply between his over
hanging forehead bones; his nose is
long ard bent to one side; his mouth is
thin Tipped and cruel, and his face that
of criminal, low and cunning.
The autobiography which he is now
writing will be dedicated to Miss Kate
RounsVell, who would probably have
been another victim had not the law at
last closed his awful career.

LONDON. May l4.-Eforis to-day to sound
Mr.. Goschen as to the basis Of the bimetal-
lie conference elected that he would not
speak on the subject at present, as the solu-
ton of the problem might be compromised
Information were given out now. This
language. with the tenor Of his ex-
pressions TO the chamber of COM
merce Populations, is accepted as lndi-
eating Mr.. Goschen's belief that the
conference will not prove the tulility the
monomctallists predict. While the leading
London papers are against the conference,
the provincial journals are discussing the
ratio between silver and gold in the event
OF an International agreement being reached.
Letters from Experts Fl. r. Grenfell and
Samuel Montagu concur liz expressing the
opinion that the fixing Of an exact ratio is
not the essence OF the question, and that
any ratio approximately accurate could be
maintained under an international agree

HE WENT TO THE SMOKER.
A Washer Who Did Not Care to Wait
for an Introduction.

A masher boarded the train at Ba-
tavia, says the Rochester Democrat.
He had all the appearance of profrs.
slonal lady-killer, including red neck.
tie and an India-rubber smile. He
stared at all the ladies in the car as
he walked down the aisle He was
picking out a victim and doing his
work with the air Of g man who knows
not defeat. 1t didn't take him long
to make a selection. He picked out a
young married woman who occupied
one OF the front seats of the car with
a little girl, and seated himself across
the aisle a short distance behind her.
The soon-to- be-mashed's little girl
was alternately playing in the aisle
and sitting by her mother. During
one of the child's frolics in the aisle
the gentleman from Batavia caught
her eye and beckoned to her. The
mother saw her child start to run
away, looked in the direction in which
she was going, saw the masher, and
smiled. This was all the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
the lady-killer wanted. He called
the little girl to his side, wrote some
thing on a card, and said to the child:
1dho CllS W uIctIl1l1ld, : Liz 1lGUlO
one obeyed, and this is what mamma
read: 81 should be delighted to make
your acquaintance" The Young
mothers face turned scarlet as she
read the note, but she wrote reply
to it and sent it by the little girl. Then
she turned her gaze on the masher.
The little girl delivered the message
and this is what the fellow read;
Perhaps you can get my husband,
who is sitting directly behind you to
introduce u.s." The masher looked up.
His intended victim was still staring
at him. Theninvoluntarily he turned
his eyes toward the person occupying
the seat behind him. Another pair OF
eyes was regarding him with fixed,
stony gaze. Suddenly the India-rub-
Der smile lost its elasticity, even the
red necktie seemed to grow dull in
color, and the lady-killer as suddenly
concluded that he wanted smoke
worse than ever before in his life.

Frederick b. DeemlnR.

Frederick Bayley Desming, the
murderer, will leave terrible record
behind him. He has succeeded for
some years in satisfying that awful
craving which he seems to possess for
killing women. It is probably that
many of his crimes have yet to be un.
earthed. Of all the early ones only one
has b: eli fully substantiated-the steal.
ing of 1926, 600 in gold from the Stand
ard bank of Cape Colony. While his
partner in guilt was serving three years
IN prison, Deeming, then known aa
Williams dug up The gold from the
sand hills in which tLey had concealed
it, and spent the money in Soueh Africa
and Australia. knowledge of his crimes
during this period, and before the theft
as well, are constantly coming to the
ears of the police.

MAKE GOOD LUCK.
There are young men who have failed

their father when he first began
business for himself. They started
with the idea that their wit would do
as we'll as capital. For while it did,
but when creditors sent their duns
and banks their protests, they found
that mere shrewdness was greatly
below par.
If young men would seize the advan-
tages of intelligence. it will he by great
economy OF time and the refusing OF
many forms OF qualification. Show
me a man, who, refusing many of the
frivolties OF gossiping youths, can see
more to attract his attention in the
pages of treatise or history, than in
the flesh of bright eyes, or the airy
step of those who find more skill in
their heels than their heads, and ]
will show you man who will yet

sceptre over his fellows. Especially is
it true that no growth in grace is pos
sible unless, like Daniel, we are willing
