secures the Pardon of the Man who Tried
to Murder Her and VIII Wed Him.
LOWELL. Mass, April s.-Henry p.
Entwistle, a young machinist, SEN
fenced in 1892 to fifteen years in
prison for shooting Maria Clegg with
intent to kill, has been pardoned
through the efforts of the girl and will
marry her. He and Maria had been
friends for several months and finally
became engaged. The father of the
girl broke the engagement because.
he thought that the young man
was not Industrious enough to support
q wife.
Entwistle was unwilling to give VI
the girl, and on the afternoon of Octo-
Der e, 1891, went into the Massachusetts,
mill, where she was employed as
a weaver ostensibly to see a friend.
When the bells rang at 5 o'clock he
Joined the hundreds of operatives who
were going from their work. He had
reached the street when he saw the
girl he loved in front of him. Drawing
a revolver, he shot at her four times,
the last shot taking effect in her
lungs. Later he surrendered himself,
and after a sensational trial was sem
fenced to fifteen years imprisonment.
The girl recovered after a long ILL
ness. During the past months the
girl that Entwistle tried to kill visited
him every two weeks. The efforts for
his pardon were made quietly. Chief
of Police Davis signed the petition at
the request of the girl. A marriage
license has been taken out. 1t is un-
derstOod that the young people are to
sail at once for England.

The Killing of the Wounded at Tien-

The Killing of the Wounded at Tien-
Chwang "A Chinese Calumny--Why the
Armistice was Violated.
LONDON, April S.--The Central News
correspondent in Toxic says that the
stories about the killing of the wounded
at the battle of Tien-Chwang, en-
anated exclusively from Chinese
sources. The Japanese maintain that
the wounded were treated by them
with the customary humanity.
A dispatch was sent from Hiroshima
TO Lieut.-Gen. NoGzu, commander of
the japanese troops in Manchuria,
briefly stating the accusations and
requesting an examination He tele-
graphed back that the stories were
base calumnies.
Letters written by three reporters
from headquarters of three divisions
in Manchuria support this denial in
every respect.
Lieut.-Gen. Nod:u reported from
Hal Cheng on April 4 that Gen. vi had
sent him a message to the effect that
the Chinese commanders knew nothing
of the conclusion of an armistice.
Moreover, the governor of Lao Yang
answered the notice of the armistice
with an insolent letter denying that
he had been informed of the arrange
meut.
When Ii Hung Chang was told of
the replies sent by vi and the gov
ernor he expressed deep regret 1t is
supposed hat telegraphic communities
ton with the Chinese forces has
been interrupted. Mounted couriers
could not have got from Pekin to
Gen. Yi's headquarters in less than
five days, and, although sent, they
probably had not arrived when the
Japanese messengers went into the
Chinese camp.
The Tartar soldiers, moreover, are
utterly ignorant of the civilized
customs of war and have no UNDER
standing for a truce.

correspondent in Shanghai states that
the conditions of peace proposed by
Japan, in addition to the independence
of Corea, the war indemnity and the
cession of Formosa and the Liao-Tung
province, including Port Arthur,
Japan requires, he says, that China
shall allow the unhampered importa-
tion of machinery into her territory,

of manufactures by foreigners. She
must pledge herself, moreover, to
open to the vessels of all nations
the Yang-Tse-Kiang river as far
as Chung King Foo; the Sieng Kiang
as far as Siang-Tin-Kien; the Cam
ton river as far as Ouchoo Foo,

o permanently the Wusung bar
and provide means to maintain and
prove constantly a depth of water
sufficient for large vessels, and the
cities of Chang King Foo, Oucho Foo,
500 Choo Foo, Hang Chu Foo and
others to be hereafter agreed upon
must be opened up to foreign COM
MERGE.
Japan emphasizes the fact that she,
does not desire for herself commercial
advantages that are not extended to
the other treaty powers.

fare of the Chinese people.

A sweet-Faced Little Woman.

Mrs. Ballington Booth, the Saliva
ton Army commander, accepted an in-
vitation to deliver an address before
the members of the exchange.
She is small, gracefully formed, has a sweet
face, and was led on the floor by the president
Of the exchange. Ms. Booth prefaced her re-
marks by saying that it was the first time in
her life that she had ever addressed an au-
dience like that which stood before her. and
she fully appreciated the necessity of being
brief. The great trouble with most women,
she said, Smilingly. was that they never knew
when to stop when they once got started.
She then gave a brief history Of the work and
object Of the Salvation Army, and referred
with great pleasure to the fact that the con-
tempt in which the army had been held was
now Il thing Of the past, and it received help
and aid on every hand. She related with great
feeling a number of pathetic stories OF her
visits to the slumS of various cities, and in con-
cluSion said she was proud to be known as q
salvation Army lass"
Il am very proud of this bonnet she said.
"Prouder of il than any women can be of one
OF those fashionable affairs covered with birds
and feathers. 1t is a protection 10 me when l
go into the SlumS among the outcaSt and fall
en-. II Is my badge, and 1 am proud to wearit."
Her remarks were listened to with respectful
attention by the members, a large number Of
whom remained after change hours. 1t was
the almost universal opinion that Mrs. Booth
made a better and more appropriate address
than sam Jones, who had appeared before the
members the week before.
