The game VIII begin promptly at O'CLOCK.
Not only are the Richmonds conceded to be
strong players, but it is admitted that they
are among the trickiest in the business.
One of their strong points is to arrange in
advance with their opposing team that when
a man is prevented from playing by brok-
en- skate time shall be called until it can
be fixed. In this manner when the Rich
monds find that there is danger Of their
opponents scoring a goal and are pressing
them hard it has been the custom, so it is
claimed, for one Of the Henley men to find
his skate suddenly broken and ask for a
suspension Of hostilities. This scheme will
not go tonight, as Manager Reick will in
sist at the start that when a player Is dis
abled from any cause a substitute must
be called in to take his place without inter-
rupting the game.

VIII Protect the Grandchildren.

Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, yester-
day heard evidence relating to the claim OF
Mary L. Schackel against the estate Of her
father, Anthony Schackel, for 81, 400. The
woman is seeking to recover this amount
for services in waiting on her father for
four years prior to his death. She is the
executrix of the estate. 1t developed yes
terday that Anthony Schackel left a will in
which he bequeathed his real estate-a for
ty-acre farm in Center township-to his
daughter. In his will he provided that the
amount Of a note held by a son-in-law
should be paid to three Of his grandchil-
dren. Judge Allen. on learning this, rea-
soned that If the daughter was allowed her
claim Of 81, 400 there would be little left to
pay these grandchildren. He told the
claimant that he would not decide the mat
ter until. these children had been notified of
the claim and were given an opportunity of
contesting it if they desired.

Two Grewsome Relics.

Two old pen knives recently
found in the Katy cut tell a story
that is only remembered by those
who were in this country when the
NJ, X. a. T. railway was construc-
ted. These knives are now in the
possession of Miss Ethel Conklin
of the United States clerks office,
and call to mind an incident that
occurred away back when the first
passenger train went down over
the line to Denison. Two young
men, brothers, of the name of Sell
win got off at McAiester and re-
mained atthe station couple of
days. They disappeared one Sum-
day morning and we're not heard
of until their bodies were found a
few days afterward at the identical
spot these knives were found last
week, and it is supposed that the
knives fell from their pockets
when they we're being exhumed.
tits stated that Douglass Sell
win ordered the search to be made
and that he came from Pennsyl-
vania and personally conducted
the search. This same Selwin, a
cousin of the two boys afterwards
came into possession of their prop
erty, be being the next of kin. To
this day people believe thai Doug
lass Selwin had hand in their
taking of, knew where to find the
bodies and thus beyond All doubt
eslahIished the fact Of their death.

TAKING THE OATH.



Kissing the Bibzs I'D othsr Forms OF
Lernl Swearing.
Once again has attention been
drawn to the danger cf kissing the
book. y The medical ofiicero health
to the Wareham rural district coun-
Gil attributes the death of a police
constable to acute liberation of the
throat, which was produced by the
insanitary state of the Testament he.
pressed to his lips before giving evil
dence at the petty sessions a few
days before he died. 1t is strange
that the people who complain Of the
danger of kissing the book should
be unaware that no witness is
obliged to incur it. The oats act,
1888, provides that ''if any person
to whom an oath is administered
desires to swear with the uplifted
hand, in the form and manner in
which an oath is usually admins
tered in Scotland, he shall be per-
mitted SO to do, and the oath shall
be administered TO him in such form
and lnanne1 without further ques-
ton"
There i5 nothing in the Scotch
formula which explains why this
provision should be practically
dead letter in the courts. The oath
that is supposed to be binding on the
other side of the Tweed is in these
words: II swear by Almighty God
and as / shall answer to God at the
great day of judgment that will
tell the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth. =" Not many
months ago county court judge
allowed witness to cover the Bible
with clean paper before he kissed it,
and the practice seemed to be spread
ing until it was suggested that it af-
forded complete justification of
the propensity of many witnesses to
kiss their thumbs.
kissing the book" did not be-
come part of the ceremony of oath
taking in England until the seven
teenth century. 1t is clear that the
practice did not prevail in Coke's
time, since in dealing with the ad-
ministration of the oath he makes
no reference to it. 1T is called a
corporal oath, I" he writes, because
the witness toucheth with his hand
some part of the Holy Scriptures. "
England is almost the only country
in which kissing the book" is
known. The witnesses at French
trial have a very simple ordeal to
pass through before they unfold
their tales. The judge, seated be-
meath crucifix, says, "You swear
to tell the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truthi'' and the
witness, lifting up his right hand,
answers, II swear it. :" The express
sion 1.-The truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth is used
in Italy and BELGIUM as well as in
England and France. The Austrian
witness is sworn before d crucifix
between two lighted candles, and,
with his right hand lifted, makes
this declaration: IT swear by God
the Almighty and All Wise that /
will speak the pure and full truth
and nothing but the truth in answer
to anything l may be asked by the
court" A witness in Spanish
court is required to kneel on his.
right knee and to place his band
on an open Bible "Will you swear
by God and by these holy gospels
to speak the truth to all you may
be asked2" inquiries the judge.
Eyes, Iswear, answers the witness.
"Then if thus you do, says the
Judge, "God will reward you, and, if
not, will require it of you. st
