Divorced Couple Make Up.

Baltimore, January 2o.-Af-
ter five years Of contest in the
divorce courts Thomas c. Chap
pell, a well-known lawyer, and
his wife have become recon.
cleo -a-d the husbands suit for
divorce was dismissed in the
Baltimore County Court to- day.
Mrs. Chappell is now in Bos
ton, where she has been for the
past few years, but will go to
New York within ne next few
days to rejoin her husband, who
has taken up his residence in
that city. The case has been an
extraordinary one. The bill for
divorce was filed in March, 1905
by Mr.. Chappell, asking for an
absolute separation and divorce.
The bill contained about thirty
absolute and distinct sections,
One of the main allegations be
ing that his wife was laboring
under mental difficulties, and
that this existed at the time of
their marriage. The case has
never beed tried upon it's merits
but has been to the Maryland
Court of Appeals at Annapolis
four times upon questions of ali
mony, counsel fees, and many
complex questions of law.
Accompanying the papers pa>
pers filed to-day was a written
assent Oh the part of Mrs. Chap
pell to the dismissal of the case.

Transferring Electricity.

The Norfolk Railway and
Light Company is having made
a special wire and cable to con-
duct voltage from its enlarged
plant, on Cove street, now being
erected, 20 Berkley for electric
lighting purposes. The cable
will be laid under the eastern
branch of Elizabeth river. and
the large wire conductor will be
protected from contact with the
water by a suitable encasement.
1t will carry at least 1000 volts
of electricity. The transferring
of electric power by cables un~
der water for lighting purposes,
ETC., is not a new thing, but at
the same time is by no means
common. The old receiving
ship Franklin, lying in the Eliz-
abeth river off the navy-yard,
is lighted by electricity trans
ferred from the yard by cable,
with the capacity of 100 volts.
The new bridge to connect
Berkeley and Norfolk will be the
means by which to run the
Berkley street car system will be
transferred over trolley wires-

Murder out Years Too Late.

Sioux Falls, S. D., January
20. 2o.-Information has reached
here that Mrs. Van Horn, who
recently died in the State OF
Washington, confessed on her
death bed that she murdered her
mother, Mrs. Thos. Egan, near
this city, Septem Der 18th, 1880.
For this crime Thomas Egar,
the Woman's husband, was hang
ed, protesting his innocence.
Mrs. Van Horn was his step
daughter. Mrs. Egan was chok~
ed to death with rope, and her
head was bruised with a wooden
picket. The clothes Egan wore
were found in the barn covered
with blood, aud this caused his
conviction. The execution was
bungled, and he was dropped
three times before death ensued
The first time the rope broke,
and the second time it slipped.
The physician at the hospital
where Mrs. Van Horn died took
down her confession and sent it
to Egan's relatives here.

The Paper Trust.

The robber Paper st,which
controls nearly all the output OF
the paper mills of this country,
has steadily advanced the price
of paper for the past three
months until we are now paying
about 40 per cent more for the
newspaper upon which the
Baptist is printed, than we did
September Ist. This trust has
as a chiet cause, tariff law
which lays a heavy import ups
on all paper material imported
from Canada into this country.
And we are the sufferers. This
unjust tariff aud it's robber off,
spring, the Paper Trust, is TAX
ing from the pockets of publish
ers all over America a tax which
has reached the point of heavy
burden. This tariff law is a tax
on intelligence. Papers and
books cost more than ever be-
fore. On every newspaper,
Bible, Hymn Book, tract and
almanac there is an extra cost.
The note paper and envelopes of
courtship, the invitation for the
wedding and the blackbordered
announcement of death all pay
tribute to this robber tariff,
which instead of enriching the
government only makes it poss>
lble for the paper magnates of
America to charge more for their
paper. How long will we suffer-
There are those who count
word against the trusts as a stone
cast against the innocent. Let
these defenders of iniquity feel
the heavy hand of corporate
greed and their tune will change.

The Man to Help.

So many of us forget that it

to help the follow whose path

by the unfortunate who really

himself-while we will throw
