Geyer, of Philadelphia, made the discov.
cry, and all doubts as to their fate have
been set at rest. 1t is now q matter al-
most beyond doubt that H. II. Holmes,
when he was here last October, 6eliber-
ately murdered the pair and thus rid
himself of two troublesome young beings
after he had murdered their father in
Philadelphia. The inquiries begun by the
police led to tho knowledge that Holmes
and the children lived at the house in

two officers.

Taken to Identity Her Fathers Body.
Holmes secured possession of Alice,
aged IL, first taking her to Philadelphia
to identify her fathers body. Then he
went to St. Louis and told the mother
that he would put Howard and Nellie in
q good school in indianapolis. This was
on Sept. %. 1891. Mrs. Pitzel received
two letters from Holmes in indianapolis
and acting on his advice she went to her
parents home in Illinois. Becoming
worried about the children she went to
Chicago, whero she received word from
Holmes to go to Detroit. She mot him

but was induced to go with him to Toronto
and then to Burlington, VT. So far as

Probable Method of the Murder.
There were no traces of violence on the
bodies and it is thought Holmes decoyed
the children into trunk under some
pretext and took them to the house. Then
gas was inserted by means of a tube
through a small hole. The trunk with a
hole in it, neatly covered over with n strap
tackled down, was found i'll one of Holmes
rooms. No trace of the boy Howard, a lad
of 8, has been found, but he is thought to
be dead.

BYRON AND coLERIDaE.

A generous mind will naturally
seek to make reparation for wrongs
done to another. Mean souls never
acknowledge their faults and seldom
forgive those who point them out.
In letter to Coleridge written in
1915, Lord Byron evinces that true
magnanimhy which ever character
lied the better feelings of the noble
poet. He says, "You mention my
Satire lampoon, or whatever you
or others please to call it. | can
only say that it was written when l
was very young and very angry and
has been thorn in my side ever
since; more particularly as almost
al the persons animadverted upon
became subsequently my friends,
which is heaping Goals of fire upon
an enemy's head, and forgiving me
too readily to permit me to forgive
myself. The part applied to you is
pert and petulant, and shallow
enough. But, although l have done
everything in my power to suppress
the circulation of the whole thing. /
shall always regret the wantonness
or generality of many Of its attempt
ed attacks"
The lines referred to by Byron are
familiar to the readers Of English
Bards and Scotch Reviewers.

| To turgid ode and tumid stanza dear?

Yet still obscurity's a welcome guest.

Is 1t to Love Or TO Be Loved I

Who cares for love if one may lover
In that the rapture lies.
What wrecks a heart that it be done
II it may win the prize?
There is no heart which stays at home.
Contented to be sought,
But, ever restless, seeks to win
The heart where love is fought.
Yet hearts are not all conquerors.
Sometimes doubling one
Is overcome, and as a slave
Its Intercourse is run.
The heart thus conquered may submit
And seldom will rebel,
But dreams CT triumph come to it
Contentment to dispel.
How OF in story and in song
We read OF those who die
For those they love. They take no though
Of other reason why.
But is there in the crown of love,
Great sacrifice, this gem
Of martyrdom-that any die
For those who most love them?

lntemperanoe Among Women.

There is much said about the
growing habit Of intemperance
among women perhaps more than
the facts would warrant. II this
habit exists it is owing to tue fact
that women are often forced to per-
form domestic or social duties under
great physical suffering, and by par
taking of liquors for temporary re-
lief or little protraction ofstrength
the habit becomes a necessity. If
all ladies who suffer with the COM
plants peculiar to their sex, would
take DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton they would find natures restor-
alive, and the evil results Of per-
nicious drugs end liquors would be
avoided. For all cases OF nervous
and general debility, sleeplessncss,

sions and Irregularities, it is the only
medicine sold by druggists that can
be implicitly relied upon. No medi.
cine for women sells so largely.
