HER ATTRACTIONS.

She has no dazzling charms, no classic grace,
Nothing you think, to win mems hearts about
her;
Yet looking at her sweet and gentle face
wonder what our lives would be without her
We tell our griefs into her patient ear;
She whispers, "Hope!" when days are dark and
dreary
The little children like to have her near,
And run into her open arms when weary.
Her step falls lightly by the sufferers bed;
Where poverty and abound she fingers
AND many weary heart and aching head
Finds gifts of healing in her tender fingers.
She holds helping hand to those who fall,
Which gently guides him back to paths OF
duty;
Her kindly eyes, with kindly looks for all,
See in com monest souls some hidden beauty.
Her charity would ever need embrace;
The shy and timid fear not to address her;
With loving tact she rightly fills her place,
While all who know her pray that heaven may
bless her.-Selected.

At home or at school when you have
done wrong, and have been brave
enough to confess it to the one you have
wruug+d, can you remember the peace
and " ,at came with the sense Of
being forgiven?
THE returning to our homes, getting
them in order, after our summer outing
and preparations for school days for the
little ORES are The next things in order.
Xxx
GETTING the home in order is no small
undertaking either and must be carried
much in one day. 1t is better to take
things slow and not be worked complete
ly sick and thus undo all that the
summers rest has done for you. Take
80 much each day, and then stop.
Be resting quietly and composedly
when your husband returns from his
days l..bors, just as though nothing un-
usual was going on. You can't conceive
of the comfort it gives him to find you
thus.
Xxx
THEN after week of such managing
all work will be smooth and easy going
and you will be feeling 80 well and i'm
bued with such new supply of energy
that the work OF the household will al
most accomplish itself.

The First Pair of Spectac1es.

Doyou know that had your dear grand
ma lived eight hundred years ago, she
would never have lost her spectacles.
Oh! you need not look so amazed, little
one. Do you know the reason why2
Put the question to your grandma as q
conundrum and see if she can answer.
1t is because spectacles have been in
vented only seven hundred years. Before
that time, people with weak eyes used to
look through beryl stone, which CO ld
not have been a great deal of help. Tell
grandmamma to look through red
tumbler if she wants to know what she
would have had to see through if she had
lived eight hundred years ago.
The inventor OF spectacles Was an
Italian. Over his grave at Florence
there is this line:
Here lies SalvinO degli Armati, in
ventor OF spectacles. May God pardon
his sins.''

A New Brunswick village Burned.
THE LAST SENSATION EXPLODED.
Joseph w. Carpenters Connection with
the Borden Murder Case.

FALL RIVER, July 10.-Joseph W. Car
penter, Jr., formerly worked for the Bor-
den & Amy firm of furniture dealers.
Andrew j, Borden was the senior MEM
Der. Recently note was found in Rome,
N. Y, addressed to Carpenter and signed
by his wife. The note said Carpenter
could return in peace to Fall River, as
all talk concerning the Borden murder
had been ended.
1t was alleged against Carpenter at
one time that he falsified the furniture
FIRMS books. Suit followed, but the
proceedings were quashed. Andrew
Borden was most severe with Carpenter.
Carpenter left the city shortly afterward,
and became commercial traveller, and
generally makes his headquarters in Al
bany. He married a daughter of Cap
tain Barney of this city, and was last
here in May, 1892.
When the Borden murders took place,
every man who might have had reason
for enmity toward Mr.. Borden was hunt
ed down. Among the suspects was Car
penter. He proved an alibi by hotel
clerks and registers. One fact caused
Miss Borden's lawyers to be persistent in
their search for him. 1t was positively
| stated by Peter Driscoll that he had
shaved Carpenter at the Wilbur House a
day or two before the murders were
committed. This story, the police say,
was wholly unfounded.
Mrs. Joseph W. Carpenter was found
| at the home of her father-in-law tonight.
| where she was visiting with her daugh-
ter. She said she wrote letter to her
| husband some weeks ago, in which she
| begged him to come home as soon as he
| could. She said that nobody could
| cause him any more annoyance here on
account of the murders, inasmuch as
| Miss Lizzie was acquitted and the feeling
in the matter had quieted down. She
| wrote in this strain because her husband
| had been diffident about coming to Fall
| River on account of his name having
been once mixed up in the affair. She
said that her husband had not been here
since Decoration Day, 1892, and that his
whereabouts after that date had been
| fully explained to the satisfaction of the
police. She cannot explain how her let
| ter was lost

FORTY ARE DEAD.

one of the unfortunates who had jumped
from the balcony, carried it to the edge
OF the roof and dropped it to the ground,
saving it from cremation. AS yet the
body is not identified, as the face is
burned black. Many of the firemen
who lost their lives might have been
saved had the department been supplied
with nets. They could have jumped
from the tower to the roof and been
saved by the nets.
Seeing it was hopeless to attempt to save
the building, and as all who had escaped
alive had left the roof, the firemen di-
rected their efforts to keep the fire from
spreading The Worlds Fair stables
south of the warehouse were burning,
and the fire had spread to the roofs of
several hotels across Stony island avenue.
With a good deal of effort the hotels
were saved but the stables were burned
to the ground. In less than two. hours
from the time the fire started the big cold
storage warehouse was levelled to the
ground, a smoking ruin. 1t is doubtful
If any of the bodies will ever be recover

men are gone until after the roll call to-

BRocKToN STRENGTHENED.
New Men Secured To Help Along in the
Race for the Pennant.
New England League Star

BRocKToN, Mass, July 10. - The
Brockton club has received shaking I'D
and from now out proposes to play pen
nant ball. Manager Doe has signed sew
eral new men, all of whom will join the
team before the game at Fall River
Thursday. Among the players signed
are McKillop, pitcher, who has played
with strong professional clubs in this
state; Andy Dunning, National League
twirler; George N. Ulton of Cincinnati,
an infielder; Jack Corbett of Louisville,
second baseman; and Pennell, of Boston
College. Manager Doe has suspended
Kiley for jumping the team at Portland,
and released Kelley. There are to be
other changes in the nine. With the new
men the club will be strengthened in
many respects. In regard to the stabili-
ty of the New England League, there is
said to be no doubt. The only team
which is weak is Manchester, and Mama
ger McGunnigle has some new men in
view. 1t is likely club will represent
either Taunton or Pawtucket, if arrange
ments can be made in either city. The
managers complain of the present corps
of umpires, and a shake-up is expected
in this department..

WAR ON THE LEPERs.
An Unwise Movement which May Over
throw Hawaii's New Governments,

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.-From Vic
toria, B. c., comes news from Honolulu
that may have serious consequences for
the Hawaiian provisional government.
This is nothing less than great popular
excitement among all the natives against
the new government because it is deter
mined to enforce the law requiring the
few .lepers in Kalalau Valley on the
island of Kauai to be removed to the
1cper settlement on Molokai. The white
sheriff who recently went to the island to
make arrangements for deporting the
poor wretches was shot dead. Then
President Dole swore on an oath
that he would remove these
lepers or kill them all. He has sent
eighty men and a Krupp gun, and fight
ing is expected. Should the lepers be
killed, as now seems probable, the result
would be disastrous to the new Govern
ment, as the Hawaiian natives have al
the lepers on Molokai. They hold that
leprosy is not contagious, and that the
victims should be allowed to spend their
last years among their kindred. With
very good reason they say that the at
tempt to remove the twenty eight lepers
from Kauai, is a bit Of missionary intol-
erance, since these poor people are nearly
as secluded as they would be on Molokai.
Kalalau valley is little fertile spot
scooped out by the waves in the face of a
giant cliff that forms the whole northern
wall of the Isle of Kauai. This cliff
rises 5000 feet sheer from the water, and
no one can climb it from the fertile
southern side of the island except in
very dry summer In this valley, hem
med in by inaccessible cliffs and APP
proachable only at sea in calm weather,
this handful of lepers has lived for 20
| years with few relatives who share
their isolation. They do not disturb the
planters on the south side of the island,
and no one visits them with
the exception of the authorities. To
| remove them to Molokai is cruelty, and
should they be shot while resisting this
fate, there will be wild excitement
| throughout the island, which may
| have more political effect than the depo-
sition of the Queen. The natives here
tofore have remained neutral, but should
| they join hands with the Royalists they
could easily overthrow the Provisional
Government Considering the critical
situation on the islands it was the height
| of follow for President Dole and his as
| sociates to select this time for enforcing
| the hated Leper segregation law.

WHILE DR.. POTTER PREACHED
A Deputy Sheriff Sat in the Church and
Watched Tagged Property.

NEW YORK, July 10.-While praise SER
vices were being held yesterday in the
Baptist Tabernacle in Second Avenue, a
man in the gallery kept careful watch on
the big stereopticons which the Rev. DIR.
D. c. Potter, pastor of the church, has
often used in his illustrated lectures on
religious subjects.
The stereopticons bore a little tag.
The tag was not conspicuous, and few of
those in the gallery noticed it. It bore
an inscription to the effect that the stere-
opticons had been seized by the sheriff.
In the Rev. DR.. Potter's fiat in the
church house adjoining the church were
other articles bearing little tags. They
and the stereopticons had been seized by
Deputy Sheriff Hamilton on behalf of the
creditors of DR.. Potter, who are making
another effort to get their pay.
1t was Deputy Sheriff Hamilton's as
sistant who kept watch on the stereopti-
cons in the church. The property had
been seized on Saturday.
Over all these things the deputy sheriff
| is keeping watch and ward. He has vari-
Gus judgments for amounts alleged to be
owing by DIR. Potter One is Judgment
of 1884, obtained by III. Y. Garfield, for
| milk. The bill OF Mi. Cantleld covers a
years supply. Another is for coal furnish
| ed by Hanoke Hancken. Mrs. Maria ag-
ner wants rent due from the pastor for
the house at 225 East Eleventh street,
where is the home for friendless young
women. The judgments amount Ito
| $1,000.
| The Rev. James Putnam has uttered
insinuations as to the character of the
doctors home for young women. In
fact. he has embodied them into an
actual accusation against DR.. Potter,
which is one of the number now being
considered by the church committee,
chiefly composed of the pastors friends.
This committee will render its decision
as to the truth of the charges next Wed.
nesday night.
DR.. Potter said yesterday to reporter
that he expected to be then exonerated
from all the false charges spitefully made
against him. He admitted, however,
that this exoneration would not pay his
debts, but seemed anxious that the
sheriff should not proceed further until
the committee had rendered its decision.

MURDER WILL OUT.
A Jail Bird Suspected :of Having hilied
Two Men in 1868.

ELMIRA. N. Y, July 10-After search
of thirty years, Chief Little believes he
has located the murderer Of two guards
in the Union prison camp, located here
during the war. In 1868, young man
who had enlisted in New York was sta
toned in the camp. He gave his name
as Stewart.
For drunkenness he was confined in
the guard house One night he invited
his guards to drink liquor which he had
obtained. The liquor contained poison,
and both guards soon fell into g stupor.
from which they never recovered. Young
Stewart then endeaVored to escape, but
was detected. He was given trial by
court martial, found guilty of murder
and sentenced to die by hanging. He
was transferred TO the county Jail, and
held there to await the date OF his exc
cution.
In the meantime, great effort was
brought to bear to secure the young
mans pardon. His mother went to see
President Lincoln. She gave her name
as Shear. The young man on the night
before the day for his hanging, escaped
from the Jail and was never captured.
In July, 1892, Leroy Charming Shear
passed 4 forged check for 500 on Dey
Brothers, dry goods merchants of this
city, but got away before the forgery was
discovered. He finally turned up in the
Albany penitentiary, where he is serving
term of two years for grand larceny,
having been sentenced from Albany I'M
der the name of Mallory.
Chief Little began an Investigation of
the criminal record. He is now con-
vinced that Shear, the forger, and young
Stewart, the soldier murderer of 1853,
are one and the same person. This be-
lief is strengthened by Shears horror of
coming to Elmira. He will be released
from Albany prison August 10, and will
then be brought here on the charge of
forgery, when his past record will be
diligently searched

THE PoRTLANDs WERE BEATEN u
Until They Found the Ball and Calamity
Turned Defeat INTO Victory.

Yesterday, the Portlands were like the
man in the hearse, dead in it. 1 he home
team batted out victory after it had ap-
parently gone beyond recall by the Togus
Home like playing of some of the Port
lands. They went all to pieces and then
gathered the shattered fragments togeth-
er and thumped out great victory. 1t
was worth going miles to see.
Too much praise cannot be given
young Burrill, recent find of Vice
President Gage, who discovered this
clever young twirler in Corinna IN this
state. Mr.. Gage wanted to get him here
last year, but the idea was frowned up
on. Mr.. Gage is to be congratulated up
on securing Burrill, who showed him
self to be a great hitter, a speedy runner
ard cool-haaded pitcher, with plenty
of speed and lots of curves.

who play ''snappier'' game than the

\ There were many fine, as we'll as stu
pid plays in the game. Burns made
fine running catch, as did Donahue, who
took a foul fly off the lattice work.
O'Connell played fine fielding game, as
did Burke, Flanagan and Hanivan.
Burke participated in two fine double
plays, but he couldn't have hit balloon.
Burns batted terrifically, as did Mains,
Rogers, Clymer and Burrill.
At the beginning of the seventh inning
the Dovers had the lead, 10 to 8, and no.
body dreamed that the home team would
pull out. Rogers started this inning
with base on balls, and stole second.
Burke put up a pop fly, and was out;
Mains hit for two bases, and Rogers
scored; Clymer singled, and Mains came
in like Salvador at the wire; Mahoney
sacrificed Clymer to second, and Platt
brought down the stands as he hit for
two bases. Burrill was retired, and the
score stood Dover 10, Portland 6.
The Portlands then made Garrison
fnish and such cheering has not been
heard on the grounds for many day.
The boys had evidently made up their
minds to do penance for their loose work
in the first part Of the game.
Smith led off with a hit, and Oliver
