New York. May 20. Adrian Braun
was put to death by electricity, in Sing
Sing Prison, today. for tho murder of
his wife. A current of 1,S00 volts was
turned on at BIT o'clock, and at 0. Is.
Braun was dead.
Braun was a German, SO years of
age, and cigarmaker Of New York.
He was the father of five children. He
was sentenced in August, 1897, to two
years for assault in the second degree,
he having beaten his wife. On the
day Of the murder, she went to the
prison with somo delicacies for her
husband, who was employed in the
mess room as a potato peelcr. The
couple appeared TO he very friendly. At
4 O'Clock, Detective jackson told Braun
it was time to return to his cell.
Braun pleaded for few extra minutes,
and his request was, granted. Sud.
denly, he arose, and Mr.. jackson saw a
long sharp pointed potato knife in his
hand. He brought il down, with fear
full force, against the left side Of his
wife's neck. With one cut, he severed
the jugular vein and the main artery
IN the neck. Before the detective
could reach him, he plunged the knife
several more times into the dead body
of Mrs. Braun. The detective seized
him, and keepers searched him. An.

lap pronounced the benediction. The
rector, Mr.. Henry, was also in the
chancel.
Mr.. Tomkins gave powerful
discourse on tho text 1.-THE Lord reign
eth" from Psalm LXXXXIIi, verse |.
He referred to Trinity Sunday as the one
day in the year which seems to sum
up all the rest of tho teaching; it is q
great praise time in the church. In
olden time the Jews were afraid even to
mention the name of God, but We are
not afraid TO call upon Him. So the
people of the old church rejoice and
praise God for what He has done. M
The preacher took up then the char
acteristics of God, His omnipresence,
He is everywhere because of the might
of His omnipresent individuality, no
matter what our sorrow, no matter
what Our JOY, God is with us; His
omniscience, He has all knowledge: His
omnipotence, lie is all-powerful; His
justice. there is no possibility of abso-
lutte Justice on earth, but God is abso-
lutely true; His love, without that all
else would be dead; every Joy, every
battle, every death, every flower, is in
terpreted by the word. You cannot
destroy love, because God is love. Even
In our most loveless moments we have
the greatest exhibition of the love OF
the Almighty.
These characteristics have essentially
surrounded this and other churches.
God was with the Swedes in their far
off land and was with them when they
came to establish worship here. GOO
through all the ages has made it that
in this country freedom of worship
should prevail and with it freedom tc
carry His word to others. Although
the beginning seemed small when the
church was started, yet God looked
forward and saw the good that woulc
be done.

Literary and Art Notes.

The permanency of a true work
of art has for lis an inspiration, ex-
pressed thus by The Outlook:
An artist pours his life into his
book, his statue, his building, his
painting, with the conviction that
he has laid up for himself that fame
which is the human synonym for
Immortality, and men guard and
cherish the perfect work because,
being perfect, they are persuaded
that it must endure. SO the mar
bles remain though the Greeks are
gone; the Madonna survives
though Raphael has departed; the
Fifth Symphony speaks though
Beethoven is silent; Westminster
abides though its builders have
persisted. In it's art the race sees
the visible emblems OF it's immor-
tality."
