STOCKTON, Dec. 6.-Albert Mercy
nolds, who, with mis- brother Wesley
and his sister Ada. have been in jail at
Sonora, charged with killing George
Morris, the express agent at Chinese
Camp on the night of November Sth,
committed suicide early this morning
by cutting his throat with a pocket
knife
The brothers were arrested Sunday
night on confession of their sister. who
charged both with having killed Morris.
After the arrest Ada McReynolds de-
MED everything that she had previously
confessed,
Yesterday she was brought before the
Tuolumne County Grand Jury. and
after close examination. during which
she denied that her brothers killed
Morris, she was discharged from Gus
tody. Albert and Wesley McReynolds
were held in jail to await the examin-
alton of the Grand Jury to-day They
had not been charged with the murder
OF the express agent.
Since their arrest both brothers have
been moroSe and uncOmmunicative
They were placed in separate cells 50
that they could not speak to each other
privately. This morning when Sheriff
Yancey made the rounds of the cells at
O'Clock to feed the prisoners, he found
Albert on the floor of his cell with his
throat cut from ear to ear A pocket
knife clasped in his right hand showed
how the deed was done. He left no
confession.
The evidence taken thus far is not
sufficient to hold the brothers. Wesley
McReynolds shows no emotion on ac-
count of the suicide of Albert, but their
sister Ada is Frustrated with grief, as
she is the cause of the death of her
brother.
The girl Ada McReynolds was arrest
ed again to-day and taken to Jail. At
present she is only held as a witness
against her brother

WHERE WAS PARADIsE2
Biologists Contend That the Garden of
Eden Was in the Arctic Regions.

Eden Was in the Arctic Regions.
In an interesting and highly instruct
i've article. Edward 5. Martin. in the
Ladies Home Journal, reviews the nu-
mcrous theories advanced by scientists
i'm the endeavor to solve the perpleXing
problem as to the exact location OF the
site of the Garden of Eden After
sitting the theories the writer con-
cludeS that the question is no nearer
answered than it was 2,OOO years ago,
and that there are no present 1ndlca-
tions that the matter Will ever be def-
nitely settled by any man. To one or
the latest and most ingenious theories,
Mr. Martin thus refers: '"The North
Pole will seem at first thought to the
az erage investigator the most unlikely
place on earth for Paradise to have oc-
cuped. Nevertheless several sober,
thoughtful books and pamphlets have
been written in support OF the North
Poles pretensions. The North Pole
nowadays is bitter cold, but it has not
been always so. Biologists tell US that
the earth was excessively hot when IL
first began it's course-much too hot to
admit of the presence of any living
creatures, except, perhaps, Salaman-
der AS it grew cooler vegetation be-
gan on it, and then it began to be peo-
pied, first with fishes, and then with
birds and beasts; finally with man.
The first spot on earth to get cool
enough was the North Pole. In the
process of time it got too cold, but
there must have been a long period
when the polar region was the most
comfortable part of the world. During
this period, many eminent geologists
believe there existed around the North
Pole a continent now submerged, and
that on that continent our progenitors
were comfortable in their first home.
1t is known with entire certainty that
the polar region was once warm enough
for tropical vegetation to grow there.
There was light enough, also, for such
egetation-abundant light, indeed for
all uses, and plenty for primeval man.
Geology tells US that man might have
lived at the North Pole

An Amended Enitanh.

A friend of Bishop Wilmer of Ala
bama lost a dearly beloved wife, and, in
his sorrow, caused these words to be
inscribed on her tombstone: The
light of mine eyes mas gone out" The
bereaved married within a year.
Shortly afterward the Bishop was
walking through the graveyard with
another gentleman When they ar
rived at the tomb the latter asked the
Bishop what he would say of the pres
ent state OF affairs, in view of the words
on the tombstone. II think" said the
Bishop, ..the words But / have struck
another match should be added"

MisQuoted.

Among the popular quotations which
are falsely attributed to the Bible are
the following:
God tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb. From Sterne's Sentimental
Journey to Italy"
In the midst of life we are in death"
From the burial service, and this was
originally from Luther.
The mereiful man is merciful 10 ms
beast The scripture form is: "A
righteous man regardeth the life OF his
beast
Money is the root of evil" Paul's
version is: "The love of money is the
root of all evil
Cleanliness akin to godliness." Not
in the Bible First used by Mr.. Whit
