WANTS A BABY'5 LIFE.-A mad
clergyman believes that God demaoCs
that he should kill one OF his children,
says Portland, Me-, telegram.
The residents of the town Of Brown
field are greatly excited over the case
of Rev. Sidney Sinscott, of West Brown
field, well-known minister Of the
Seventh Day Adventist Church, who
became insane from overwork.
Yesterday he said;
II shall take my two little ones to
the top OF high hill, stand at one end
of a line drawn in the ground and let
God decide which one must be sacri
feed"
He is strong in the belief that he
must offer up one of his children.
William Kennard was engaged to
watch him yesterday, and had sensa-
tional experience. He was sitting IL a
chair, leaning back with his eyes half
closed. Sinscott supposed that he was
asleep, and stole softly from the sofa
where he was lying and crossed the
room to the cabinet in which he had
kept his razor.
''Lord do you wish me to cut his
throat ?" said the preacher.
Then he added, as ifrepeating an an
swer: The Lord says no."
Lord do you wish me to jump upon
him and crush him ?o
Again to his disordered mind he re-
ceived an answer in the negative.
He then asked if he should run away
and was in the act of leaving when
Kennard stopped him.
He is apparently brooding all the
time on the sacrifice that he believcs he
has been called upon to perform, and
has been placed under stricter restraint.

What Il. Reed.. PoIicrr

The impression has got abroad that
Speaker Reeds policy is one OF mastery
inactivity. This impression is gained from
remarks Of his before congress met, and
from the little speech he made when he
was nominated for speaker.
The Washington Post undertakes 10
show that this impression IS an erroneous
one. That paper says that the proper in
depreciation to be given of his remarks is
that he favors a conservative course. 1t
contends that he has said nothing that
justifies the conclusion that he will an
tagonize or disspprove legislation to sup
ply the needs of the treasury. and to
strengthen commercial confidence and
promote industrial activity.
The Post may be right 1t is to be
hoped it is. but we are inclined TO think
that the impression to which we have
called attention is correct. 1t is certain
that the leading Washington correspon-
dents think it is. They are saying that
Mr.. Reed is making a mistake, that the
country does not think of him as a do
nothing statesman, but as a fighter, an
aggressive legislator. If therefore he dis
courages doing anything and encourages
a waiting policy. especially as the whole
country is anxious that something shall
be done TO relieve the uneasiness caused
by the export of gold. his reputation as
a statesman is likely to suffer. The peo-
pie will draw a comparison between him
and the President, and it will not be to
his advantage. They will point to the
bold and fearless attitude of the Presi-
dent, to his strong and earnest appeal to
congress to take hold of the currency
question and endeavor to settle it. and
then they will call attention to the nom
committal attitude of Mr.. Reed in his
speech before the caucus of the republi-
can members of the House, and they will
be led to the conclusion that if Mr.. Reed
represents the republican party there is
no reason for expecting that that party
will do anything in the near future to
relieve the government from its financial
difficulties

A Remarkable Case.

The Langerman-Aub case, in New
York city, that is still before the record
er, is said by old New York lawyers to
the history of criminal Jurisprudence in
this country. The chief facts of the
story have been told in our dispatches.
Walter L. s. Langerman is a clerk in a
lawyers office and Barbara Aub is
book agent. Miss Aub called on Lang
erman at his apartments to get him to
subscribe for a book for which she was
agent. Some days after her visit she had
him arrested on a charge of felonious as
sault. Langerman declared there had
been no assault, that the purpose of the
girl was to blackmai him. The trial be-
fore Recorder Gon-Goff is the man who
made a reputation in connection with the
Lexow committee investigation-was in

hours cross-examination wonderfully
WELL so wen, in fact, that it was admit

recorder was strongly against LANCER
man. and the jury quickly convicted him.
In New York the punishment for the
crime of which he was convicted is TWEEN
ty years in the penitentiary.
Recorder Golf evidently felt that his
charge had gone long way toward con-
victing Langerman. and his conscience
wasn't easy. He had doubts of the truth
of Miss Aub's story. and he set himself
TO work to get confession from her. He
succeeded She admitted she had sworn
falsely, and that Langerman was not
guilty. The recorder Kept the fact of the
confession secret until Langerman was
brought before him to be sentenced. That
was on Monday last. When Langermar
appeared the recorder charged him with
being an all around bad man, and accused
him of having committed other offenses
of a like character. of which, however
as far as the world knows, the recorder
had no positive evidence. Having ex-
