superscription was as follows His Holi-

Queen Jeanne of Provence the town of

What fiction it is! The real history
of the transaction is quite different. Her
Majesty, Jeanne-a mere girl of twenty

her accomplice in this murder, and
wished to marry him. To gain her ends
she visited Avingnon. Eight Cardinals
met her and escorted her under can

In due course the Pope absolved her
from her crime, and gave her the neces-

such ban. And in exchange Avignon

chatting and looking about them. They

always of the gayest colors.
They must be much attached to their
parasols, for you never see them-even
as late as 8 or o'clock at night-but
they have their parasols open, getting
shade from something. 1t cannot be the

1t Cured Him.

Benjamin Franklin was not unlike
other boys in his love for sophomore
phrases. 1t is related that one day he told
his father that he had swallowed some
dcephalus molluscus, which so alarmed
him that he shrieked for help. The
mother came in with warm water, and
forced half gallon down Benjamin's
throat with the garden pump, then held
him upside down. the father saying, "if
we don't get those things out of Ben
jamin he'll be poisoned sure" When
Benjamin was allowed to get his breath,
he explained that the articles referred
to were oysters. His father was so in
dignant that he whipped him for an hour
for frightening the family. Franklin
never afterward used a word of two syl-
tables when one would do Selected

''THE LEGEND OF THE TWO
SACKS"

An ancient legend describes an old mar
travelling from place TO place with sack
hanging behind his back and another in
front of him. In the one behind him he
tossed all the kind deeds of his friends
which we're soon quite hidden from view
and forgotten. In the one hanging
around his neck, under his chin, he
threw all the sins which his acquaint
ances committed; and these he was in
the habit Of turning over and looking at
as he walked along day by day, which
naturally hindered his course.
On day, to his surprise, he met man
coming slowly along, also wearing two
sacks.
What have you here?' asked the old
man.
Why, my good Deeds replied mum
Der two. Il keep these all before me, and
take them out frequently"
What is in the other big sack?' asked
the first traveller, "it seems weighty."
Merely my little mistakes. always
keep them in the sack hanging over my
back"
Presently the two travellers were
joined by third, who, strange to say,
also carried two sacks one under his
chin and one on his back G. .sz..
Let us see the contents of your
sacks exclaimed the two first travellers.

ger, "for | have goodly assortment, and
like to show them. This SACK" said
he, pointing to the one hanging in front
of him, lis full of the goods deeds of
Others"
your sack looks heavy; it must be
very full, ;" observed the old man.
There you are mistaken replied the
stranger; they are big, but not heavy.
The weight is only such as sails are to
ship. Far from being a burden, it helps
me onward"
"Well. your sack behind can be of lit
tie use to you,' said number two, "for it
appears to be empty. And I see it has
great hole in the bottom of it."
Il did that on purpose said the
stranger, 'for all the evil hear of people
| put in there and it falls through and
is lost. So, you see, have no weight to
drag me down backwards. "-Selected.

INTRODUCTION.
LUKE 10: 1887.

The charity of to-day is discovering
that its business is with the man himself;
and not with the contents of his stomach
or the covering of his back. To relieve
necessity has been recognized as Christ
like, ever since that gracious Presence
healed the sick and fed the hungry in Pal
estine. But to minister to soul in its
weakness and despair is far higher serv-
ice than to feed hungry stomach. To
give man character and purpose is nober
than to give him clothes or money. The
only charity which can be effectual,-in-
deed the only charity which is not posi-
lively mischievous,-is that which has for
its ultimate aim the betterment of life and
character. The true purpose of charity is
not to carry those who have fallen by the
wayside in the journey of life but to hold
out the helping hand that shall aid the
weary straggler to his feet again, and fill
his body with strength and his soul with
high purpose, SO that he shall go forward
once more for himself. When we consider
charity from this standpoint,-th stand
point of all modern scientific charity work
ers whatever their religious opinions we
see that its aim is identical with that of the
Christian Church. The aim of the Church
is the betterment of all human life and all
human relations, by the strengthening of
the inner springs of right action; the aim
of charity is the betterment of the life and
relations of particular class of men, by
the strengthening and developing of their
inner powers-From "TAe Church and
Secular Lits," by Req. Fredeyick WiIliam
Hamilton.

DURANT IRRITATED.
He is Becoming an Unreasonable and
Troublesome Prisoner.

San Francisco, April 27.-Theodore
Durant was taken from his cell in the
city prison today and formally charged
with the murder of Blanche Lamont. He
has been very surly for the past few days
and made no effort to conceal his irrita-
ton this morning.
How much are you going to charge
me with he growled to Detective Sey-
mOur. The prison officials are confident
that Durants visitors bring him drugs
which enable him to sleep 24 hours n
day. To the use of these opiates his
increasing irritation is ascribed. He is
fast becoming what is known as an un-
reasonable and troublesome prisoner.
Chief Crowley has ordered that no
notice shall be taken of anything the
prisoner says. minor officials having com
planned of Durant's rudeness. Durant
is treated with the greatest consideration.
He occupies the most comfortable cell
in the prison and is permitted to receive
visitors at all hours. The preliminary
examination in the Williams case will
probably be concluded on Tuesday and the
inquest in the Lamont case commenced
the following day. The plan of District
Attorney Barnes is to try Durant for the
Lamont murder first. Considered alone
the Williams case is considered weak
for the prosecution and with a double
case to be tried n jury verdict of guilty
would be doubtful. The evidence in the
Lamont crime is considered much more
conclusive.

[ could talk confdentially and got the in
preston that while there is a strong and
respectable sentiment throughout the
State in opposition it the opponents to
16 to / are without organization, apparent
ly without any ambition to succeed and
are singularly silent while silver men are
vigorous, active and aggressive.
1T seem to me utterly impossible for
opponents of 16 to 1 silver, who should
take part in the June convention, to
make any serious impression. The con-
vention will unquestionably declare in
favor of 16 to l without conference with
any nation. We who oppose that view,
although there are some differences OF
Opinions among us, will, as rule, take
no part in the convention, although in
some counties delegations will be sent
composed of leading men representing
both views, wholly irrespective OF the
sentiment in the particular locality.
"There has been a great deal OF unnec-
essary personal irritation and controversy
over this subject which is very deplorable
There will be a good deal OF talk about
reading men out of the party. The imme.
ate effect of the expected declaration will
he TO disorganize the Democratic party in
this State, if such thing is possible. The
ultimate effect, should the currency ques-
ton be the prominent one 1896, will be
the organization of both parties on new
lines. Those who, like myself, may be
called conservatives, have a faint hope
that we may be able to induce the June
convention to declare that it is ineXpedient
TO draw party lines upon the silver ques:
ton by State convention, but confess |
have no very great confidence that we will
be able to secure this. Unless the refusal
of the Democrats who agree with me to
take part in the convention shall lead the
party elsewhere to believe that Democrat
ic sentiment is not thoroughly represented
by the convention this will have 6 very
strong and powerful influence upon, the
parties in the Western and Southern
STATES, but will not, think, affect any
thing east of Ohio"

RARTLETT BRIEFS.

Bartlett, April 27.-(Special)-At last
the long drouth has been broken. More
rail fell in the last 4S hours than has fall
en- in 1S months before.
Farmers are jubilant, as most oats will
be saved and make light crop at least.
Hail has damaged corn in some neigh
borhoods, and good deal of cotton will
have to be planted over on account of
same. But take it all together prospects
are very flattering.
Mr.. Charles Gunzel was caught between
two cars while a spectator at a wreck,
and had his breast badly mashed and is
likely to die, though there are some hopes
of recovery.
Mr.. ]. Z. DOnahue, railroad agent here,
for four years, has taken a months layoff
and will visit his former home in Wiscon-
sin. Mrs. ID. and Master Frank will ac-
company him. Mr.. Mcclure, his assist
ant. will hold the Office down until he re-
turns.
Several fine residences are in prospect
for Bartlett this summer.
The Southwestern Telephone company
opened up business here this week and
have connection with nearly all cities in
the State, and will be a good assistance
to the business people of Bartlett.

all around the room afe smelred with
blood. The dingy carpet is saturated
with gore and the furniture was badly
broken in the fray. Browns Lody pre-
sented horrible appearance, being cover
ed with blood from head to foot. There
was no clothing on the body except q
pair of knit drawers and black pair OF
socks. The undershirt had been re-
moved and the wounds are plainly Wis
ible. There were three wounds in the
breast, one of them being over the region
of the heart; there were two wounds in
| the head, one being in the center of the
| forehead, and there was another in the
center of the stomach and another in
the right arm. Clotted blood oozed from
these wounds, presenting a sickening
sight. The features were distorted.
Mrs. Gordons body was found on the
cellar door, face downward, clothed only
stocking feet. Her hair was loose and
hanging about her head in tangled mass.
Her face was calm and gave no sign
of a struggle. Her bosom was covered
with blood and her skirt was bespattered
with the fluid. Her hands were tightly
clenched and her face was covered with
splotches.
Gordon is in Jail and no one is allowed
to see him. He is unhurt, but is suffering
from nervous prostratiOn.
Gordon states that he tried to Kill him
self after shooting Brown and his wife,
but the cartridge failed to explode and
his hand was so nervous. On his way to
Jail Gordon stated to the officer that he
had suspected the couple for some time
and about Il week ago his suspicious were
confirmed. Ever since he had kept a
watch on his wife and today, learning
that she and Brown were at the house on
Madison street, he went there and the
tragedy followed.
At O'clock tonight the coroner's jury
rendered a verdict of justifiable homicide.
Gordon's case will be tried tomorrow.
Governor Brown, accompanied by Sec
retary of State Hoadley, arrived in the
city from Frankfort at $3.50 o'clock and is
stopping at the Gait House. The COVER
nor is completely prostrated by the sad
affair.
When seen by reporter of the AssO-
ciated Press tonight lie stated that he did
not care to discuss the matter. Young
Browns body will be taken to Henderson
tomorrow for burial.
The remains of Mrs Gordon are at
Wyatt's undertaking establishment on
Seventh street and young Browns body
is at Kings undertaking establishment on
Jefferson street. Mrs. Gordon was Miss
Nellie Bush of this city, and her family
is one of the best known and most prOmi-
nent in this State. Her mother was once
State librarian at Frankfort and her
grandfather was Judge Zachariah
Wheat, chief justice of the court of ap-
peals of Kentucky, and one of the most
learned and distinguished of Kentucky
iurists. Gordon was at one time assis-
tant manager of the Palmer House in
Chicago.

Statements Made by Senator Palmer's
Son, a Prominent Sound Money"
Democrat-The Silver Sentiment
in Illinois is Very Strong.

Chicago, April 27.-The most sensa-
tional political development for many
day in Chicago, if not the entire West,
was published this afternoon. The II,
llnois State convention will, beyond all
doubt, declare for free silver without in
ternational agreement of any kind and
the movement is of such strength that
other Western and Southern States will
be prevented with great difficulty, if at all,
from following the lead of Illinois. Par
ty Democracy of Illinois is doomed to dis
organization.
The authority for these statements is
John NJ. Palmer, corporation counsel of
Chicago, and one of the best known Dem
Ocrats in the State. He is not free sill
yer man; on the contrary, he has Il repu-
tation with the more pronounced silver ele-
ment as decided gold bug" Mr..
Palmer is the son of United States Sena-
tor Palmer, who has been leading the
fight of the national administration in
Illinois. These statements were made
in an interview this afternoon and the
news has caused widespread comment
and speculation. Mr.. Palmer returned to
Chicago today from the State capital. He
said:
THE sentiment in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to l without international confer
ence or agreement seems to have taken
complete possession of the Democracy of
