HEAVEN AND HE'LL.

Various Theories as to tho Location OF
Paradise md Hndcs.
He'll and heaven beliefs had their
origin about the year 100 %. O., and
since that time there have been thou
sands of attempts t' locate these places,
the one of future punishment and tho
other of everlasting happiness. The old
medieval idea of hell is tho ono which
gives us to understand that the devil
and his imps have their furnaces and
their cnldrons and other articles Of .in-
fernal utility constantly working some-
where within the bowels Of the earth.
On the other hand, we are told and be-
lieve that heaven is an abode Of light,
beauty and joy located far above the
earth. One writer believes that heaven
will be on planet which will be pre-
pared for the saints in the last day, and
another believes that this earth, burned
over and purified by FIRE, will be the final
resting place CT those who escape tho
horrors Of perpetual punishment in the
he'll that has been prepared "for those
who love sim DR., Wbiston, tho friend
of Sir Isaac Newton and the first Of the
great race of speculative astronomers, !"
believes that hell is located OH comet.
But the most curious theory we have
ever investigated WAS that advanced By
DR.. Mortimer, author of "The Spirit Of
God as Fire. One of the several sub
stitutes Of this remarkable beck was one
which gave tho reader to understand
that the author believed that heaven ia
located on the inner plobo Of the sun.
This substitute was "The Globe Within
the Sun Our Heaven" According to
Mortinicr's theory, our sun is surround
Cd by an envelope or photosphcre of
flame 100, 900 miles itself. Taken NIL
together, this idea OF tLo photosphcrc lie
vast nonlumiDous void. Farther OH is
tho great Clobc of tho sun itself.
Taken all together, this idea Of the
sun may be aptly compared to peach
or u plum. The envelope of flame occu-
pies the place Of the skin, the "vnst
nonluminous void" the place Of the
meat of the fruit and the central globe
(true SUM the place CT tho seed. On this
sun globe. inside the great fiery envel-
ope, DIR. Mortimer believed heaven to
be situated. The philosophers or envei-

of future punishment for the wicked.

John II. McLcan'S
Great Newspaper.

Without single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer
or a more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John r. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour
mails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation of the public
for its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
Of the campaign year was offered a,
SO cents year, and its circulation
increased by the addition of over
200, 900 new subscribers; tic most
substantial and coveted testimonial
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret Of such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers: ::
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, it simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. Gy
maintaining the price of the paper,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class of business
interests catered to, which a cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
it incumbent upon the management
to serve it faithfully with zeal and en-
terprise in minor matters as well as
those Of greater magnitude.

prTEcr1oNs OF MURDER.
They Are sometimes discovered In n Host
Pecuiinr Manner.


Pecuiinr Manner.
Murderers are sometimes discovered
In a most peculiar manner, and the FOL
lowing cases, illustrative OF this, r.ay
be quoted from the many on record.
A workman in a brewery quarrelled
with one OF his fellows, and struck him
stlrh blow that he died Immediately.
AS they were alone he picked up the
body and threw II under boiling vat,
where Il was soon consumed. On th2
man being missed the following day
the murderer coolly observed that he
had seen his fellow workman in n state
of intoxication and that he had prob
nbly fallen from bridge on mis- way
home and been drowned.
Tho crime remained undiscovered for
n period of seven years, but at the end
OF that time the true facts of the catc
wre brought to light in rather re-
morkable manner. The murderer wac
talking one night in his sleep, aid a
workman with whom he slept over
heard him say. 1T is now full seven
years ago."
His curiosity being aroused he ask
ed What was It you did seven years
ago" and the unfortunate man replied,
II put him under the boiling vat"
This confession was associated with
the tragedy, which was not quite for
| gotten, and the workman was arrested
IN consequence. AT first he assorted
his innocence but subsequently ac-
knOw;.ISed his guilt, and suffered in
due course.
Another nfurdcr, committed at
Frankfort early in the present century,
was discovered under somewhat ludic-
rous circumstances. 1t appears that
woman. whose husband was a soldier,
imagined that he had been killed in
battle. and sought solace in the arms of
another.
Her first husband turned up, how
ever. to claim his wife. and she receiv-
ed him with every mark Of affection,
and kept him In ignorance respecting
tho second alliance. On the errant one
retiring to rest the services Of husband
number two w-re occurred by the wo-
man. and between them they strahgled
th unfortunate soldier.
Tsen they put the body in sack
and carried X to the river Oder, but the
sock burst during the journey and one
CT tho mans legs protruded through
the opening. The woman stitched mp
the rent. but In doing so also sewed
in the skirts Of her accomplice's coat,
so that when he let the body fall into
tho river he was dragged in with 1t.
The result was that when the wo-
mans cries for help brought some
peasants to the spot. they rescued the
drowning man. and discovered the dead
body hasgins to his coat. In conse-
Quence the man and woman were
charged with marier. and. on making
n full confession. were handed over to
the officers OF justice.

THE WORLDS FAIR WRANOLE.

1t looks as il the Worlds Fair exhibitors
would never get through with their
troubles. A large amount of French ex-
hibits that had not been sent home were
damaged in fire that destroyed several
buildings In Jackson Park on the eighth
day of January, 1894. The French mer-
chants who had exhibited these goods set
fabulously high prices on them, so the
Worlds Fair people say, aud the damages
appear SO great in the minds of the latter
that they preferred litigation to paying
what the exhibitors asked.
How this interminable tangle will be
Strengthened out no man knows. The
matter has been submitted to a Chicago
Judge, who Is hearing arguments. Dana
ges are asked In the sum of $S7,S56 1t
seems pity that an affair 80 stupendous
and exhalted as the Columbian exposition
80 productive of advancement and the
furtherance of good fellowship between
the countries Of the globe, should be mar
red by an unpleasant international episode
like this. It would be better to compro-
mise the matter and let both parties suffer
some than to let the dispute 60 to the
length of creating lasting i'll will between
the two countries. Much of the good
work accomplished by the fair would thus
be destroyed.

fire; they gaze upon all these things, we
say, and then asked themselves: Shall
Rhode Island always go unrepresented9
Nay, nay.
Our advice to the Office hunters is to
make 1t hot for the President until he
surrenders. There are yet missions in
Dahomey and Zululand that pay fair
living. There are clerkships yet remain
ing that some wary suitor might devour.
There are stray twigs on every bush, so
why should not Rhode Island be prohted
thereby? We feel sure that the illustrious
sons OF the State will be requited for their
determination in the end. There is balm
somewhere in Gilead, there are officers
somewhere in the world. Let us have
them.

The steamship world sustained a great
loss in the death of Isaac Odell, general
freight agent of the Providence and Ston-
ington Steamship Company. Mr.. Odell
died on Sunday at the ripe age of eighty
two years. A record Of his life shows a
conscientious devotion to duty marked by
great ability, and covering a period OF
nearly half century. He was a man OF
the highest principles. His sociable man
ner made him a general favorite and he
always proved loyal friend. The deceased
was widely known. He was honored in
death as he was esteemed and beloved in
life

LET US HAVE OFFICES.

Rhode Island is feeling 80 bad about the
spare way in which the patronage is being
doled out to her at Washington that she
Is taking active measures to secure por-
tion OF 1t. Her representatives at the
capitol got together In q body yesterday
and decided to call upon President Nc
Kinley and see what he means to do about
1t anyway. Plums have fallen with the
scarcity OF snowdrops in summer, upon
the parched bosom of these plantations
and souls that have been athirst for the
soothing descent of offices are gaspingly
athirst still. True, John Hay goes to dis
port himself at the Court of st. James,
but John Is no Rhode Islander. His an
-cestors lived hereabouts and John learned
Greek and mathematics at Brown, but
Pike County got him away from here, 10,
these many years aback. President James
B. Angel Of Ann Arbor has received the
Turkish mission, but Angel cannot be
counted Rhode Islander, either, although h
bs, too, obtained an education at Brown.
II is not TO be wondered at, therefore
that the famished Office seekers of Rhode
Island are 90 hot on the trail Of Presiden,
Mckinley. They see the good thing
.vpping out of their eager grasp like eel
ssrough the fingers Of q Narraganset
fisherman. They gaze with loving eye
upon the post Offices at Providence, Paw
tucket, woonsocket and Pitchfork Cor
ners; they look upon the fat port posts O
