Tho Body OF nm Unknown Man, Hacked TO
Pieces. Found mt EIkhart, Ind.
ELKIARr, Ind, Oct. 9.--The body Of
man, covered with CHASTITY wounds,
is at the morgue in this city awaiting
Identification. A brutal murder was
committed in the outskirts Of this city
at late hour Monday evening.
After the assassins had stoned their
victim to death, and with ear coup
ling pin had inflicted dozen wounds,
any ore OF which would have been sufli-
cient TO produce death, the murderers
stripped the body, and after dragging
it distance OF forty feet to neighbor-
ing woods, buried the remains under a
mass ofrubbish and leaves, taking care
to remove from the pockets Of their
victim all valuables, and any evidence
that would lead TO his Identification.
The murdered man made a fight for
life, but his assailants, who are be-
lieved TO be five in number, overpow-
cred him. and in the unequal struggle
his head was beaten TO pulp, and with
sticks and stones and iron prods the
body was cut and mangled until his
identity will be difficult to establish.
The city Monday night is crazed with
excitement, and thousands Of people
have viewed the remains at the morgue.
Charles Kiel and Jacob Hicks, of Cleve-
land, are held at the police station as
witnesses, having been powerless to
render the murdered man assistance.
The murderers boarded Lake Shore
train and left the city for the west.
kilograms have been sent in all d.
rections, and If the murderers are cap
tured the authorities fear that they
can not answer for their safety. The
murdered man is about 40 years of age,
Of good appearance, and his clothes,
which were found. indicated that he
was in comfortable circumstances, and
with these facts at hand, the theory is
advanced that he was decoyed to his
death.
A telegram from South Bend says
that man whose clothes are blood
stained has been arrested on suspicion,
and that detail of officers are on the
trail of the supposed murderers who
have eluded capture.

Sir JOpseh Pease on the Condition of
Europe.

"There never was time, probably,
when there was so much preparation
for war, made by almost all the Pow
ers. I am one of those who have ad-
vocated from this platform the high
type of Christ an morality, as regards
war. But when we leave Christianity
alone, when we look at merely the
moral and the financial aspect of the
present state of things, it must strike
every man as absurd to think that
nations who are communicating daily
with each other, by steamer, telegraph
and railway, should be spending such
enormous sums of money, and train
ing so many men for the mere pur-
pese of destroying one another. The
thing almost seems horribly grotesque,
when you look at it, Then we
come to the puzzle which Government
feels with regard to ways and means
We have Chancellor of the Excheq-
uer puzzled at this very moment
Some of US, looking on, are not
very much annoyed that Govern
meut after Government, whether
Liberal or Tory, finds the difficulty in
raising money for appliances of war
comes heavier and heavier. If it comes
heavy on this country, which is the rich
est and most able to meet its liabilities,
it comes much harder upon those who
are endeavoring with less funds to in
crease their armaments. My hope has
always been in the union of the diff
ferent Churches. and in every section
of the Christian Church uniting in
one common cause and L often wish
that my friend, Mr.. Henry Richard.
was again with us, because he used to
tell US he was disappointed with the
manner in which the Christian Church
did not unite in this cause, Now be-
lieve we have sent out something like
ten thousand circulars 10 the different
Ministers of religion asking them to
deal with the subject in an annual SER
mon. The kindness of the response Is
remarkable, and the large number who
have responded is one Of those good
signs of the times in which l think
we may all rejoice.
1t is well, I think, just to look for a
moment at what the armies are, at the
present time. On a peace footing,
there are 8, TAI 900 men, on a war foot
ing 81, 900, 900. On peace footing, in
1869, there were 100000, in 1892, g.
O0O, 900. On a war footing in 1869, g.
100000, and in 1892, l2,5O0,O0O. The
cost in 1869, was s1l6, 900, 900 in 1895,
s19s, 100000. Therefore, in Europe
alone, we are spending e72,O0O, 900
more than we were,.as lately as 1869.
I believe there are comparatively few
people who look at this question, as a
question affecting work and wages, al
though money that is spent on unpro-
ductive industry is simply wasted
money. I have not the slightest doubt
that going back into the pocket of the
taxpayers it would be used in indus
trial pursuitsf in employing the indus
tries Of nations, and in preventing
that of which every nation is now
complaining"

Younp Mans "Wild Oats"

So far as young man sowing his
wild oats" is concerned, writes Edward
w. Box in some editorials for young
men in the Ladies' Home Journal, it
has always seemed pity to me that
the man who framed that sentence
didn't die before be constructed it.
From the way some people talk, one
would imagine that every man had in'
stilled into him at his birth certain
amount of deviltry which he must gel
rid of before he can become man OF
honor. Now, what is called "sowing
wild oats" is nothing more nor less
than self-degradation to any young
man. 1t doesn't make man one
particle more of am an because he pass
ed through siege of riOtous living
and indiscretion when he was 1870 ~
it makes him just as much less man
It dwarfs his views OF life lar more
than it broadens them. And he real
ICES this afterwards. And he doesn'i
know one iota more of "life," except q
certain phase of it, which, if 1t has
glitter for him in youth, becomes re
pelIent remembrance TO him when he
is matured. There is no such thing as
an investigating period in mans
life. At one period it is as important
to him TO be honorable and true to the
teachings of his mother as at another
No young man need seek the darker
side of life" The Lord knows that il
forces itself upon our attention soon
enough. It does not wait to be sought
A yonng man need not be afraid that
he will fail to see it. He will see plenty
of it, and without any seeking Oh his
part either. And even if he does fail,
he is the gamer. There are great
many things which we can accept by
inference az existing in this world. Ii
is not liberal education to see them.
Too many young men have burning
itch to see wickedness-not to indulge
in it, as they are quick to explain, but
simply to see it. But thousands 0l
men who have never seen it have
never felt themselves the losers. Ii
any thing, they are glad of it. 1t does
not raise mans ideals 20 come into
contact with certain types OF man
hood or womanhood, which are only
removed from the lowest types OF the
animal kingdom by virtue of the fact
that the Creator chose to have them
get through the world Oh two legs in
stead of four. The loftiest ideal of Wo'
manhood that young man can form
in his impressoDable days will prove
none too high for maturity. To be
true to the best that is within a man
means, above all, to be an earnest be-
lever in the best qualities OF woman

Don't Quarrel with God.

Without perhaps really intending
1t, yet it is true that not few people
are actually quarrelling with God. OF
course, God does not ever stoop to the
plane of quarreling with any one yet
human beings put themselves in the
attitude of quarreling with God. They
dispute him. They find fault with
him. They talk impudently to him.
They saucily dictate to him what he
ought to do. DR.. Cuyler tells this
anecdote: IAN intelligent woman,
who had been in sore distress for many
weeks, said to her pastor: 4 am done
9uarrelling with God. I have re-
solved to submit to him and serve him
and to do all the good I can while /
live, and then 60 to hell as I,deserve.'
Her pastor smiled and quietly replied !:
you will find it hard work to get to
hell in that way The honest hearted
woman soon found that her willing
submission of heart to God, and her
patient readiness to obey him and do
her duty, was bringing her calm,
abiding peace" This woman found,
to her sorrow, that quarrelling with
God was very poor business. She lost
ground every time that she engaged in
it. And 80 it is with all who try it.
Some Christians have foolishly done
this thing, and they have always got
badly worsted. To get the most out Of
God is to do the most you can to please
him. The more fully you obey him,
the more blessing you will receive from
him. The more heartily you submit
to his ways, the more prosperous and
plentiful will be your ways. Oh, don't
quarrel with God! You can't drive
him, but you can draw him.-C. II.

Very Strange.

There are some things that I cannot
understand. One is this, that people
can stand losing large sum, and can
not stand giving the same large sum.
| once asked a man for S25, 900 for a
college. He said it was utterly impos'
sible. Two weeks later he, by an &C.
cident, lost S25O,OOO, a round quarter OF
a million. When 1 met him and Of
fered him my sympathy, he said,
"Our house is q very strong one, ana IL
will not affect u.s." I asked another
for $4,000, and his wife said it would
beggar them. He told friend one
wear afterwards that he wished he had
>siyen it to me, for, as 1 talked, he
thought of the money it would take if
be did do it aud that he had put it
elsewhere, and lost it all and more
than an equal sum to get it out; but
he would not feel il much! A farmer
is shocked to be talked to about giving
500, but his best horse will die, and
nobody sees that it makes any differ
ence. l cannot understand this thing.
Will not those people please give US
their testimony whether ii makes any
difference in the bank whether money
is checked out to pay gifts or to pay
losses?-G. P. Hugo.

The Vice of Lying.

1t is a curious fact that all persons in
theory consider lying as an odious,
mean, and pernicious practice, and yet
it is the most common of vices. This
is because men are so ready to find ex-
cuses for deceiving one another, and
fail to observe the pernicious effect
upon character and reputation of even
small departures from truth long con-
tinued. Regulations, good OF bad, are
not made by single acts, but by the
general course of conduct. A man
whose reputation among friends and
acquaintance is thatsof a.truth-teller
whose word can be relied upon, gains
it by constantly telling the truth; so
also a man whose word is always
doubted, unless confirmed, does not
get such reputation unless his friends
and acquaintance have learned by OBJ
servation that he Is constantly lying.
He may not tell any malicious lies, or
doany great harm by his attempts to de-
ceive, except to himself, but long-con-
tlnued Misrepresentation of the truth
impair his credibility. and develop in
him habit of lying which is fatal to
his reputation. He is, moreover, ex-
posed to great temptations to commit
more grievous faults than those which
have been here considered. He lies
like politician" is a proverbial say
ing, for the professional politicians
and their hirelings have the reputa-
ton of taking advantage of any op-
portunity to place their adversaries in
a false position by misrepresenting
misquotiDg, or garbling their utter
ances, and sometimes by directly Sian.
dering them. A man who is habituat-
ed to truth-telling, who has never in
dulged in white lies, shrinks instinct
lively from deceiving others, either
maliciously or for his own advantage,
in matters of great moment. But he
who has practiced a disregard for
truth in small matters is ready, when
tempted, to lie for his own advantage
at any time. Young people cannot too
soon learn to have high regard for
truth, and to avoid intentional decep-
ton in any form, direct or indirect,
active or passive. Their future repu-
tations, and much of their peace OF
mind and success in life, may depend
upon the degree to which they resist
the temptation to indulge in this too
common vIce.-Baltimore Sun.
