sermon was in Welsh, and was closely
listened to. The speaker talked fami-
liarly to his hearers about "Llyfnwy"

standard that he occupied.
The speaker also referred to the fami-
ly of eight sons and one daughter, who
were all present at the funeral. All of

have attained distinction among their
fellow men in music and literature. 1t

and though the wife had been left a
widow, she had the consolat ton that she
would have faithful protectors in the
children. The deceased was was not
an old man, being only SO, but he had
done much greater work than most
men, even If they lived to hundred
years old. Always active and died in

sickle made of everlasting flowers,
sent by G. T. Mathews. of New York. a
close friend of the deceased. The pail

TO BURN THE MORTGAGE.
Interesting Exercises at the Penn Avenue
Baptist Church Tomorrow Might


Tomorrow will be memorable in the
history of the Penn Avenue Baptist
church, when special exercises will be
held for the purpose of burning the
mortgage deed of $1,000 which has now
been satisfied.
A few months ago, during the centen-
nial services of the Baptist churches
and the anniversary services of the
Penn Avenue church, Rev. Warren G.
Partridge, the pastor, made an eloquent
appeal to the members to clear the debt
which lay upon the church. The total
amount Of the mortgage was $1,000, but
a portion of this had been paid off by
the efforts of the Ladies' Aid society.
In response to the appeal pledges were
signed by the members generally. re-
deemable on New Years Day. The to-
tai amount has now been discharged
and a telegram sent to Philadelphia
asking that the deed be forwarded. The
document will arrive in the city today
and be formally committed to the
flames tomorrow right in the church.

A Chicago Drummer's story.

A few years ago was on fishing

fish were not biting very well. so 1

Out would dart his tongue, and he
would land q fly every time. BY and

q common water snake. He was look
ing for breakfast, and the frog,
though a large one, seemed just the
thing. The snake coiled himself, raised
his head, swayed 1t back and forth.
then slowly bringing it down, he
grasped the hind legs of the frog and
began to swallow the dainty morsel.
The frog turned half around. and. see
ing what was the matter. deliberately
took the snake by the tail. and began
TO swallow it. Well. this was interest

and head of each were LETT. and then

have nothing In common. For that he
poisoned her. And then he hurried
back to his first wife, and was again
married to her, 30 quickly that it
aroused suspicion, and bis arrest and
conviction followed. Taken all in all,
the men who prosecuted the case seem
justified in holding that, for cool, cal
culstinE, cunning and methodical exc
cution, the crime has hardly parallel
IN history.
DIR. Buchanan was born in Nova
Scotia October II, 1899, and came to
New York in 1886. There he began O
life that makes the tale of "Dr. Jekyll
and Mr.. Hyde" seem tame by compari-
son In one circle of acquaintance he
was . reputable, industrious physician,
and nothing else; In another, he was a
Jolly, registering fellow, free with his
money, good companion, but still a
gentleman in his bearing and manners;
in another, he was a reckless, diSsi-
patod and depraved scoundrel, whose
tastes were low and whose ruling pas
sion was avarice. He lived three lives,
as DR.. Jelsyn lived two, and his COM
panions in each one knew him only In
that, until his case came up in court
and he was there exposed
The first step toward his great crime
was taken in 1890. When he had come
to New York four years before, he had
brought his wife with him, and during
their residence there he had appeared
devoted to her. But in 1890 he applied
for and secured a divorce from her, to-
gether with the custody Of their six
year-old child. If he had not planned
the crime, at least in general way. al
that time appearances are very much
against him, for IN November of that
year he secretly married Anna b. Suth-
erland, . woman of ill-repute but con-
siderable wealth, who kept an assigna-
ton house in Newark. Z. J.
The story OF his dealings and asso-
citations with this woman as his friends
knew of them and the facts as ther
came out after his arrest were enough
to excite suspicion. November %, 1890.
he requested his friend, Richard w.
Macomber, of New York, 80 go with
him to Newark to he a witness to a

widow, had become infatuated with
him and wished to make a will in his
favor. The woman was Airs Suther-
