Rev. Hobson Wins His Case.

VANCOUVER, B. c.. March 3L-[Special.]
Rev. H. P. Hobson writes that he is re-
turning as rector Of Christ church, having
been restored by the Canadian court of
bishops, who held that Bishop Sillitoe
being only what is styled missionary
bishop had no right to depose rector.
This is decided victory for Hobson and
the approaching vestry meeting of Christ
church will, therefore. probably be an in
teresting one.

would make the affidavit and ''big
money" if she had to 60 to Nashville to

A Startling Crime.

The attempt at the indiscriminate
murder of large number of the mem
bers of the French assembly by throw
ing missile charged with a deadly
explosive from the gallery is one Of the
most startling incidents of that kind
that have yet occurred. It will attract
more attention than the similar crime
recently perpetrated in the theater at
Barcelona by reason Of the official
character Of the intended victims. The
premature explosion of the missile de-
feated the purpose of the fiend in
human shape who launched it, and it is
remarkable that where so many were
wounded, some of them severely, none
were actually killed.
The invention Of such powerful ex
plosives as nitro-glycerine and its
compounds, making it possible to
convey the means of widespread
destruction in so small compass that
they eau be concealed about ones
person, has revealed depths of atrocitv
in human nature hitherto unsuspected.
Men have been found in all past times
ready to murder their fellows for re-
venge or for plunder, but the impulse
which moves the bomb-thrower to
indiscriminate murder, without seeking
to crafty anv individual feeling of
hatred or any purpose of individual
gain, is a new crime peculiar to the age
| IN which we live. These wretches are
simply the enemies of mankind in
general, and should be treated as such
The recurrence of such crimes calls
for the most stringent regulations by
law of the sale of explosives, and for
the punishment of persons who may be
found in the possession of them or of
the materials for their manufacture, un-
| less obtained in some legitimate manner
as provided for bv statute.-Sentinel

SHOT A CHILD.
Johnny Schroeder Accidentally Killed
near MarshfieId.

A Marshield correspondent to the
Milwaukee Sentinel reported the death
of boy on Monday Dec. II as follows:
can accidental shooting occurred
eight miles east of here in which
Johnny Schroeder, aged 10 years, was
instantly killed. The little fellow on
that day went over to a neighbor's
by the name of Seidl to play with other
boys of his age. They were in a room
playing, and Mr.. Seidl was in an
adjoining room repairing an old-style
cap gun on which he had difficulty in
making the caps stay on. Being
somewhat deaf he did not hear the
door open and Schroeder enter. By
some means the gun discharged, the
whole charge entering the child's body,
killing him instantly"
