by a clergyman, and then put upon
Miss Stafford's finger a ring to seal the
solemn compact, on the inside of which
is inscribed "R. H. B. to r. e. S."
They lived together afterward with
Mrs. Stafford, the brides mother, and
he attended regularly to his work in
the chapel.
1t is painful, indeed, to record the
downfall Of a man of such brilliant
promise. He was looked upon by the
~dignitaries of the church as being of
the material of which great church
leaders are made. 1t is hard to con-
ceive how this supposed holy man
could greet his wife and six little chill
dren, ranging from l to 10 years of
age, so lovingly and pleasantly at the
steamship pier on her return from
Europe six months after he had gone
through the ceremony with Miss Stat
ford. Mr.. Crittenton had heard of some
of the ~extravagant ways of Rev. Mr..
Baldwin and he cut down the family
allowance to such an extent that it
became necessary for Mr.. Baldwin to
find something to do to obtain a larger
salary. About this time he received
in Saginaw, Mich, and promptly ac-
cepted it. This was one year ago and
he carried a glowing recommendation
to his new field from Bishop Potter.
After he was settled in Saginaw Rev.
Mr.. Baldwin sent for Mrs. Baldwin and
the children. Shortly afterward he
sent for Miss Stafford, or Mrs. Bald
win No. 2, and rented an apartment
for her in Paul's flats, at Adams avenue
and Beautreu street, Detroit. He told
Mrs. Baldwin No. 2 that Mrs. Baldwin
No. l in Saginaw was his sister-in-law,
whose husband was worthless, and he
had to take care of her. This situation
continued for several months, and then
Mrs. Baldwin No. 2 learned that Mr..
Baldwin was spending much of his time
with a woman who had been known as
Charlotte Ella Keyes, but whose name
had been changed to Harolde Baldwin.
She said that she was the wife of Rev.
Mr.. Baldwin and is recorded as wife
No. 3. Mrs. Baldwin No. 2, believing
that the infatuation of Mr.. Baldwin
for his third wife could be broken, went
to see the woman she had believed
was his sister-in-law in Saginaw and
found that she was Mr.. Baldwin's wife.
This was a terrible shock to both wom-
en-. Mrs. Baldwin No. 1 could not be-
lieve thai her husband had done wrong.
She went with Mrs. Baldwin No. 2 to
the house of Mrs. Baldwin No. 8 and
there learned that her husband had
lived there as the husband o. another
woman. Mrs. Baldwin No. 1 found her
husband in Saginaw. She was ready
to forgive him for the sake of their
children, but he would not desert his
third wife.

Mission of the Merfno.

The following is a portion of an adj
dress delivered by John s. Beecher,
president of the Standard American
Merino Association, at it's last meeting:

1t is set forth in a bulletin on the
sheep industry of the country, recent
ly issued by the National Live Stock
association, that while the industry,
as a whole, was never in a more pros
porous condition, the lamb crop does
not show as large a percentage as
usual, due mainly to the universal
cold rains during the lambing season.
All sections report forage to be the
finest in ten years, and the lambs are
larger and fatter than usual at this
time OF the year the only exception
being in n or two limited sections
along the Pacific coast, where drouth
has prevailed. According to informa-
ton received direct from owners, It
appears that less sheep will be market
ed this year than last. The high price
of western wool, IA to IS cents per
pound, and the fancy prices paid for
western alfalfa-fed lambs on the east
ern markets, make it much more
profitable for breeders to grow wool
and lambs than mutton. 1t is too early
yet to correctly estimate the wool
crop, but it is believed that an in
crease of 10 per cent is a conservative
figure.

said that, Mr.. Baldwin's knowledge of
Hebrew and Greek is not exceeded by
any scholar in the world. After this
work had been finished Mr.. Baldwin
settled down to the routine of college
life.
Bishop Potter visited Europe three
years ago and met Mr.. Baldwin at Ok
ford. He took a great liking to the
scholarly young man, impressed upon
him that his duty was in the direction
of active church work, and influenced
him to give up his relations with Ok
ford university and accompany him.
Mr.. Baldwin was a guest of Bishop
Potter for several weeks and was then
ordained as the chaplain of the chapel
in Lafayette place. The bishop ofici-
ated at the services. Mrs. Baldwin did
not accompany her husband to this
country. She remained in her home at
Oxford and sent a very liberal monthly
allowance to her husband. He lived in
the chapel house and spent money
freely. He gave costly banquets to his
friends, at which the popping of corks
was said to have been a prominent
feature. In the summer of 1896, while
attending to his pastoral calls, Mr..
Baldwin became acquainted with Miss

Unusual Method of Securing Material
for a Book.
Count Rocco Dianovitch has made
the getting into prison the chief bust
ness of his life for thirty-four of the
forty-seven years he has lived, for the
purpose of gathering information for
a book he is anxious to write on the
subject. At 10 he left his home and
went into Prussia, where he was ar
rested for trespassing and sent to
prison for three months, working at
chair making. From that time to this
he has never been free from the desire
to continue his prison explorations.
From 13 till he was 20 he was in and
out of more than twenty prisons in
Belgium, Prussia, Poland and Russia.
His first experience of Jail life in Eng
land was in Liverpool, which was one
of the worst he was ever in, filled with
drunken sailors from all over the
world. He stayed there six days, when
he paid his fine and got out, the first
time he failed to serve his sentence.
Then he went to Ireland, France,
Spain, Italy, Greece and Turkey, then
to Egypt, where the jails are the worst
in the world except Australia; next to
India and Japan, and hen to America,
where he remained for more than a
year, spending most of his time in jails
and penitentiaries.

but, oddly enough, the very individual

Temperature of Water and Evapora-
tion.-The temperature of the water af-
fects the evaporation much more than
e~vaporates faster than a deep one, be-
it's temperature is higher. Like
wise the evaporation from the shallow
parts of a lake is greater than from
the deep portions. From lakes during
the summer months the evaporation
has been found to be as much as twice
that from the tanks, an increase OF
temperature of ten degrees, or enough
to change the temperature from 10 to
so degrees, may be sufficient to double
the amount. Evaporation proceeds
from ice, but at a diminished rate.
Protein in Milk.-In the agricultural
states of the corn belt, protein is al
together the most expensive and most
deficient nutrient in farm feeding
stuffs. For want of protein many ra-
lions are unbalanced and fail to give
economical results. Skim milk at 25
cents per hundred furnishes protein
more economically than oats at %
cents per bushel, and besides the feat
ure of economy, no feed furnishes nu-
trients in a more available, palatable
and digestible form than skim milk,
when properly handled. Modern agri-
cultural conditions will not long per-

GAMBLING.

The Judge of the police court i'm
the men who were interested in the
gambling outfit that was captured on
Tuesday night. These dens are set
up to trap the foolish and almost the
irresponsible. There is nothing even
of honest gambling about them, if
one can use the word honest in refer
ence to gambling. But any man of
the world understands what is meant
by the distinction. These men, who
ever they may be, came here with the
distinct purpose of practically robbing
those who might be unfortunate
enough to fall into their clutches.
Their purpose was as distinct as
would be that of any highwayman
who might call on the road, "Stand
and deliver
Without at all desiring to be phar-
asaical there is no doubt that such
places as these men have pleaded gull
ty of conducting are a curse to any
community. The victim is so easily
led step by step to his ruin. They are
cold blooded deadfalls and will strip
either young or old, of every cent they
earn, or borrow, and mayhap steal.
That is what gambling has over and
over again been the cause of and ruin
ed some of the brightest careers.
When such a thing is in the bud it
can be scotched easily, if it cannot be
killed. But let it once be understood
that the law is lax and it will rise to
such proportions that it cannot be
dealt with, it has grown too strong. If
the rough members of a mining camp
| can rise in their wrath and drive out
the professional gamblers from their
midst, the civilized and high strung
community can certainly do likewise.

right thinking men in the city for not
proving lenient in so important a case.

The busy look of the stores and the
number of people carrying parcels all
show that the Christmas season is at
hand. 1t is a kindly season and gives
opportunity for many little atten-
ton which could not well be done at
any other time of the year. In Homo
lulu generosity at this period is carri-
ed almost to an extreme. But Homo
lulu has ever been of an extremely
generous disposition and especially so
to the stranger within its gates. 1t
looks very much as if the present
Christmas was going to be as bright
and joyful as any that has been be-
fore it.
