Captain Phillips ideas of nsatness
are not confined to his own appearance,
but extend to his station at Tenth and

New Famous Fatality.
BY the strange death of the Rev.
Henry j. MePake, whose body was
found recently in the basement Of st.
Pauls academy, in Philadelphia, attsn-
sion has been drawn again to the re-
markable fatality which has pursued
those persons who were prominent in
the last act of the tragedy which ended
ON the sca1old in Moyamsnsing prison
when H. II. Holmes paid the penalty
for his many fiendish crimes.
Father MoPake was with Holmes on
the scaifold just before the many times
murderer was hanged. Like others who
were closely identified with the convic-
ton of Holmes, violent death has over
taken him. Mr.. Biles, the foreman OF
the jury, was killed by an electric wire,
and Superintendent Perkins Of the Moy-
amensing prison took his own life.
OF the others closely connected with
tho case many have suffered misfor-
tune. More than half the members OF
the jury have sustained heavy losses,
beth financial and domestic, while OF
this number more than one has met
practical ruin. One after another they
have met reverses which were insur-
meuntabls, under which they succumb-
cd. judges who took part in the case
were caught in the maelstrom Of mis-
fortune. Illness and financial losses
overlook them. Nor did the evil infiu-
snos stop there.
The district attorney in the case,
George 8. Graham, who was one Of the
leading men in politics in Psnnsylva-
MIA and whose Political star was in the
ascendant until he entered the case, met
serious rsvsrsss en- all sides. He wat

The much talked Of funeral sermon
of the Rev. Mr.. Ireland over the Rcv.

pew, surrounded by his family.
The service began by the singing OF
Jesus, Lover of Ny Soul, and Rock
Of Ages, which was followed by pray
or and the hymn "Oh, Want to Be
Like Jesus" Mr.. IrslAnd's text waa
Matthew vi, 2S, 20, and his sermon
proved one Of his ablsst efforts. The
service closed with prayer and the hynr
Jesus IL Mine"
After the bsnediction Mr.. Wissmar
and his family entered behind the ALTA
rail. where they began shouting ans
praising God, the audience in the mean
time passing around the church aae
shaking hands with the corpse. +" Mr.
Wisemsn was then admonished by TIT
Rev. Mr.. Doyle to live better life thar
ever before, ~ the wsrld would watsA
him closer than ever, and the consrsSa
ton dispersed. - Cincinnati CONNER
