The career Of the late Rev. DR..
Houghton OF New York abounded in
examples Of the truest sort of Chris
tian love and charity. He was known
the world over as the rector OF "The
Little Church Around the Corner" yet
his becoming SO known was merely
the result OF one incident OF his kindly
ministration to all who came to him.
A good story Is told as characteristic
OF the man. One OF the foremost men
in his church was arrested for forgery.
DR.. Houghton hastened to his side and
received confession OF guilt. He ad-
vised him to plead guilty. and within
three days the man was In Sing Sing
prison. During these days the rector
was with him almost constantly. When
the man was released DR.. Houghton
was the irst to show his belief In the
genuineness OF his repentance. and

friendship the former convict was en-

The brother Of the khedive of Egypt
who gives up his chance for cheap
little throne in order to marry an
American woman is not entitled to
large praise. As the khedive he would
have very limited authority under the

between the Office and the lady there

head with a revolver until insensible.
His skull is fractured and he may die.
