THORN CONFESSED.

The mysterious New York
murder and the full story of how
and when William Guldensuppe,
the rubber" in the NIurry Hill
baths, was murdered is now dis
closed in all it's horrible details.
According to Chief OF Detec>
tives O'Brien, Martin Thorn,
who was arrested last week, has
confessed that he and Mrs. Mack
murdered Guldensuppe. Thorn
told how (1uldensuppe was lured
into the lonely house, No. SAC,
Second street, Woodsidc, and
how he (Thorn) was concealed
in the house and shot Gulden>
suppe in the head as he entered
the room. Then when Gulden-
suppe was not quite dead, he was
dragged to the bath tub, where
Thorn finished the foul job by
cutting Guldensuppe's throat.
He sawed the head off and dis
membered the body with a razor
and a saw. Then the head was
packed in two pounds of plaster
of paris and cast into the river.
Later he found the watch and
chain Guldensuppe wore
The murder IS more incredi-
bly, inhuman than was ever sup
posed Nothing so utterly
atrocious has ever figured in the
police annals of New York. The
whole affair. with the most un
heard of fendish detail, was all
planned before hand by Mrs.
Mack and her accomplice, and
was carried out to the letter.

Senator Harris Dead.

The country, without regard to
party, sustains a loss in the death
of Senator Isham G.. Harris,
which occurred in Washington
OH Thursday last, which it can
i'll afford. Senator Harris had
been a prominent figure i'll the
upper house of Congress for near
ly twenty years and stood high
in the esteem of the members
of that bOdv, as indeed, he did
the whole country. His native
State three times in succession
elected him its Governor, AID
in his death Tennessee loses a
staunch friend. The Senate re-
peatedly bestowed upon him
the best honors within it's gift
and because Of his manly bear
ing and honesty, and generous
qualities of heart, all admired
and liked him. He was a friend
of the South. We have none too
many men like Senator Harris
and when such a man dies, it is
a positive loss to the country

THE POWER OF SONG.
Song can Cheer the Hopeless as
Nothing on Earth Can.

created the angels at some re
mote period in the past and the,
gave them the power of song. @
who of us would not be glad t
slip aside the curtains Of glor'
and hear the angels sing. as the,
step upon the rostrum of thu
skies by the throne of God anc
from their music making lips
roll the sweet strains of that sub.
lime chorus, "Worthy is the
lamb that was slain"
But we cannot hear the angels
yet. Still God has bestowed up
on men the same gift of music.
Nearly every one has either the
power of making it or appreciat-
ing it. So we must be content
on earth with making and re-
ceiving the power of song, the
music made by the melodious
chords of the human voice.
There is power in song. A song
when sweetly and richly sung
by a cultivated voice can gener-
ally move men from the lowest
to the highest emotions that
swell in the human heart
Song can save the lost by lead
ing them to Jesus. A little girl
was singing sweetly:
Pass me not, o, gentle Savior.
Hear my humble cry,
While on others thou art smiling,
Do not pass me by"
A wicked old man was passing
by and on his ears did. fall the
mellow music of the singing girl.
His heart was touched, his soul
was stirred 10 penitencc and he
cried from his quiverins lips,
Pass me not, O, gentle Savior,
Hear my humble cry And thus
many a soul has heard the..voice
of Jesus whispering to him III
the sweet notes of some gospel
song.
Song can soothe the weary. How
often when we are out upon the
desert OF consuming toll, do we
hear the voice of some sweet
song of consolation which floods
our soul with blissful waves of
rest and peace! Such songs as
'There is rest for the Weary"
Jesus, l love thy charming
Name," "From Every Stormy
Wind that Blows" have been the
wings of God to carry many
trembling soul into the
placid haven of rest and trust.
Song can cheer the hopeless.
Nothing else OH earth has so
much of the divine power in
Irving away the clouds of des-
Dondence and bringing out the
stars of hope, as a hope,
'ul, cheerful, gospel song. Such
songs as 90 Think Iof the Home
Over There" "There's Land
hat is fairer than Day." have
been the stars of hope to many
thousands of. sad and lonely
hearts.
Not until the secrets of time
md we ourselves shall join the
lngcls i'll their thrilling songs
If glory, shall we know the lost
hat were saved, the sad that
we're gladdened, the weary that
we're soothed, the hopeless who
we're cheered and the wanderers
ecla:med by the power of song.
Sing on, happy Christian, and
lever cease to sing men to Jesus;
hen when our songs shall fade
way upon the breezes of time,
hey will leave their gentle echo
II the hearts of men, and when
ouched byss the tuning fork of
ternity shall float upon the ?
air Of Heaven, till they
wrap the cycles of the ages in

WHAT IT HAS COST us.

The war in Cuba has been going on
about two years, and during that time
1t has cost the people Of the United
States. in trade, something like S+S, 1885,
600. Our export trade to Cuba the year
before the outbreak OF the war amount
ed to 100000, 900, and our imports amount
ed TO S75,670,00O. Last year we exported
to the island only $500. 600 and imported
about 40,015,000, showing a loss Of more
than one half Of the business formerly
done. But this is not all. It is believed
that should the war continue another
year or two. 1t will cause the entire ces-
sation OF business between the two coun-
tries.
