How contemplate is the miserable
man who. by smooth tongue and slick
ways, gets worthy people into his
clutches to be bunkoed, robbed or
murdered! Conspicuous in his class
Just now is Butler. the Australian null
ti-murderer, who was recently captured
in San Francisco on board the Swan
hilda. While on the vessel he was
known in sailor parlance as an "angel
sailor" He used no bad language and
objected to any coarse or profane ex-
pressions being used by his shipmates.
One day at mess, when sailor rudely
snatched piece of bread from the
hand Of another. Butler. who valued
human life as cheaply as that of gnat.
was SO outraged at this breach of table
etiquette that, after glaring angrily at
the offender, he remarked that he had
once killed negro in West Australia
for less offense than that. Alto
gether this man, who lured his victims
to the mountains and made them dig
their own graves. was much too nice
to associate with the herd of common
sailors he shipped with. Beware of con-
fidence men-men who have spells OF
being too good. They are usually after
either your money or your life.

Mystery Has Been Cleared Up by tn
N Spook.

Mystery Hns been Cleared Up by the
spook.
Dublin society has lately been start
led by very astonishing story of the
supernatural. but the mystery has
been cleared up. Recently DIR. Wynne,
the Protestant Episcopal bishop Of Kill
laloe. and his wife died suddenly on
the same day. says the New York Jour-
nal.
On the afternoon OF this day lady
walking in one Of the suburbs Of Dub
lin met a clergyman. whom she sup
posed to be the bishop, and inquired
for Mrs. Wynne. She" was the reply.
"is dead, and" after pause, 1.-The
bishop. too. is dead The lady was
quite overcome and on recovering her
self found that the clergyman, whom
she still believed to be the bishop, had
vanished. She Immediately went and
explained the mysterious occurrence
to well-known Irish Protestant digni-
tary, who is firm believer in super
natural appearances. He said there
corded an interview with the spirit OF
the departed bishop.
The story was extensively circulated
in Dublin society, and was told to a
clergyman when visiting the family of
a well-known judge. why" said the
astonished cleric, II am the bishops
ghost. A lady whom l did not know
came up to me and asked me how Mrs.
wynne was. said she was dead and
that the bishop was also dead. The
lady naturally seemed greatly dis
tressed and I passed on" There is
very striking likeness between the
dead bishop and the clergyman for
whom he was mistaken.
