to Michigan People.
Detroit, Aug. Is. = The village Of
Dearborn, ten miles from here, Is at
present wrestling with the most
mysterious murder in its history.
Frank Greenwald was driving a COW
through his orchard when suddenly the
animal refused to go further. On in
vestigation Greenwald found under a
tree short distance from the road the
body of Mary Mahil, a domestic who
had been employed in the village. On
closer investigation he found the girls
throat was cut, the bloody razor with
which the deed was done lying but a
few feet away. For a distance of sey-
eral yards the tall grass showed evil
dence OF terrible struggle. An, ex-
animation showed that the girl had not
been assaulted, and as she had no mon
ey the motive for the terrible deed can
not be imagined.
Officers discovered the tracks of a
man leading to the railroad track from
the scene Of the crime, and found blood
on a barbed-wire fence where he had
crossed the track. The girl had told
several friends she was to be married
soon to her foster brother, Albert Par
ish. Parish, however, denies this. Aft
er working on the case the officers late
yesterday afternoon arrested Parish
on suspicion, but soon after released
him. Two little girls who had been
visiting at the house where Miss Mahil
was employed told of carrying notes
between Parish and Miss Mahil several
times, which partly led up to the ar
rest Parish claims to be able to prove
an alibi, and stoutly maintains his in
nocence. He is a young man of good
reputation and is employed as flagman
by the Michigan Central railroad.

Just closed at Paris, this state, was
marked by very sensational scenes. The

ed army in the manner that his con-
science demanded that he should keep
them. So with much promptness and
originality he decided that he would
ship them back to Spain.
That this was a unique proceeding
did not prevent him from speedily TAX
ing steps to carry it out, so within
few days after the surrender of Santi-
ago the contract had been let and prep
arations for transporting the conquered
army were well under way. This is GO
ing to cost him something like $780,
900, but it will only add another item
to the formidable indemnity account
which Spain must settle DIS soon as she
concludes to quit fighting.
The specifications of the invitation
for the bids called for the transportation
Of 1000 officers and $4,000 enlisted
men, to be transported from Santiago
dc Cuba to Cadiz, Spain, or any other
Spanish port that might be designated.
Cabin accommodations were to be fur
nished for the officers, and third class
passage or steerage for the enlisted
men. The men were to be provided with
suitable galley accommodations and
the United States requirements as to
space per man and ventilation to be
strictly conformed to. The United States
was to deliver the troops on board the
vessels at Santiago.
The government requires that the
subsistence supplies furnished shall be
equal to garrison rations.
One of the humors Of the situation is
that it was Spanish steamship CON-
pany to which the contract was award
ed. The Compania Trasatlantica Es-
pamela, whose bid was accepted, will
receive for every officer taken back to
Spain $50 and for every private $50.
Aside from the economy of the
scheme, Uncle Sam figures that the dis
tributing of some a5, 900 conquered SOL
diers throughout Spain will have a
salutary moral effect on the country Of

woman, Right appropriate TO
her life are many of the words
found in the 3lst chapter of
Proverbs: "A virtuous woman.
The heart CT her husband safely
trusted in her. She was to him
truly a helpmeet in life. She
worked with willing hands"
The hours would be many if
reckoned mp which she spent, at
night, at the spindle and the
distaff. She considered the field,
and her labor was largely the
price of the land. She remem
bered the poor, and stretched out
her hands to the needy.
Although quite limited in lit
arery attainments, she understood
the value of time and opportunity
both as to temporal and spiritual
interests. Many a time she gave
me sound and wholesome talks
frequently quoting from some
saying of an old-time preacher.
She would say "Iou will see!,
enjoyment in this, that or the
other worldly pleasures, to pass
your time, but take care, young
man, time Will Kill you" One
passage she often repeated is
found in Luke, 10 chap. 41-42.
She was especially fond Of the
following hymns Must Jesus

was "Oh They tell nae OF q Homo
