Creation of a Knight.

The ceremonies at the creation of a
knight have been various; the principal
were box on the ear and stroke with
sword on the shoulder. John of Sails

was in use among the ancient Normans;
by this it was that William the Conqueror
conferred the honor of knighthood on
his son Henry. 1t was afterward changed
into blow with the fiat of the sword on
The shoulder of the knight London

Brady, his wife, and then committed
suicide in the Church of Immaculate
Conception, Oakland, Cal. Brady
and his wife had been separated about
two years.
Mrs. Brady went Go mass, arriving
after the services. She entered the
church and lnelt down to pray near
the altar. Brady entered and took a
seat behind her. No others were in
the church. Suddenly Brady drew a
pistol and placing the weapon at the
back of his wife's head pulled the trig-
ger. The woman was killed instantly.
Then Brady pointed the pistol toward
his own body, firing, the ball going
through his right lung, and second
into his brain.
