John the Baptist, New York, is reputed
to have worked marvellous cures, and
equally marvellous cures are expected
from the exposure of this relic of st.
Anthony.
The relic is a splinter from the thigh
bone of St. Anthony. The fragment of
bone is scarcely larger than a good sized
pea. 1t is set in jewels arranged in the
form of the emblem of the Oapuohin
order. 1t has a blood red stone for a
background and is mounted on a silver
stand covered with glass. The genuine
ness of the relic is certified in Latin.
The relic is in charge of the Capuchin
friars who conduct the church and was
sent to them by the very reverend IA

A judicial investigation, according to the
French manner, in which the magistrate

charges, however, were brought against
him and he was warned that he must be

and that any attempt to escape will be re-
garded as suspicious.
This procedure naturally has very dis

effect upon DR.. Laforest who was more
than sensitive and whose mind was I'M
doubtedly unbalanced. After spending all
Sunday searching for q magistrate who
would examine him, or police officer
who would arrest him, DR.. Laforest re-
turned with his wife late at night to their
home at Choisy-]e-Roi.
On Monday morning the husband and
wife had long and terrible discussion.
The doctor worn out by his various or
deals, then made a full confession of
the truth of the charges which had been
brought against him. He was utterly
overwhelmed. with shame, His wife de-
cided that there could be no possible
excuse or future rehabilitation for him.
She coldly told him that the only thing
he could do was to take his life accord
ing to the custom of his country.
1.-THE very least you can do to remove
one iota Of the fearful disgrace you have
brought on me and your children" she
said, ''is to end your life, which you
have now made worthless"
The wife was a strong minded woman,
and the doctor, as one may judge from
the reports of his conduct, had not a
vestige of character left. He agreed en-
tirely with her that suicide was his only
resort. She helped him to prepare his

might commit suicide there. They closed
