A plausible tale OF a man Who bought
a loaf of bread and took away more
property than he paid for Is told by the
Pawtucket correspondent OF the Prov
idence Telegram. The man was in n
hurry TO catch car.
His Impotence made the clerk nerv-
GUS. She forgot TO snap the string
which bound the paper about the loaf,
and away sped the man with the loaf,
while the string reeled off behind him.
He caught the car all right, and, al
though the conductor and some of the
passengers noticed as he sat down
close to the door that the Irvine paid
Itself out as the car rolled along, the
man did not discover the tangle until
he alighted. In the meantime the con-
ductor was having a good time. AS
passengers stepped on the platform he
cautioned them not TO walk on that
string. and they did not.
1t might have looked mysterious TO
the people who saw the string moving
along the street, for the unraveling
continued until the bakery Irvine bob
bin had been nearly emptied by the
connected loaf a mile away. The man
with the bread felt tug at his loaf as
he stepped down from the car. Then
he followed up the cord, winding as he
went.
He was one Of those strictly honest
men who want nothing that does not
belong to them, and the best part Of
thp story IL that no followed the Strin0
back, winding as he walked, and in
due time entered the bakery and re-
stored the ball of Irvine.

Cromwell Was Ruthless victor.

We must remember always that I'M
der Cromwell there was no burning at
the stake, no dreadful torture in cold
blood, and therefore ut his worst he
rises in degree above Philip and Alva.
But in kind his deeds i'm Ireland were
the same as theirs in the Netherlands,
and, though the Puritan soldiers were
guiltleSs of the hideous Righteousness
Shown by the Spaniards or by the
armies of Tilly and Wallenstein. yet
the merciless butchery of the entire
garrisons and of all the priests-ac-
companied by the slaughter of other
noncombatants in at least some cases--
leave Drogheda and Wexford as black
and terrible stains on Cromwelrs char
acter.
Cromwell and his lieutenants put
down the instruction and established
order because they gained such sweep
ing victories, not because Cromwell
made merciless use Of his first victo-
ries. 1t was the fighting of the Puri-
tans in the battle itself which won
and not their ferocity after the battle,
and it was Cromwell who not merely
gave free rein to this ferocity, but in
spired it. Seemingly quarter would have
been freely given had it not been for
his commands. Neither in morals nor
in policy were these slaughters justi-
fable. Moreover, it must be remem-
bered that the men slaughtered were
entirely guiltless of the original mas
sacres in Ulster.-Theodore Roosevelt
in Scribner's.

THREE MURDERERS
 SUFFERED DEATH Two Negroes Expatiate Their
 Crime at EutaW. CURRY DIES AT TAllADEGA The Crimes Were Committed at Clinton and Talladega, and Are Among
 the Most Brutal in the
 Annals of the State
CURRY DIES AT TAlLADEGA

Eutaw, May -(SpeciaD-Beauty In- gram and Walter Gordon, two negroes, were hanged here today for the murder of Thomas Burton, at Clinton, March 31.
 The town was crowded with people who had come in from the surrounding country to witness the execution, great curiosity being manifested to see the two men who had committed the brutal murder. The condemned men were led to the scaf- fold by the sheriff at exactly 12 o'clock. Neither of the prisoners would make a statement, and prayer was offered by Reys. McCalla and Chuman, two negro preachers.
 The drop fell at 12:N. Beauty was pro- nounced dead at 12:17 and Walter Gordon at 121S.
 The crime for which the men paid the penalty of death was committed at Cln- ton in March and was one of the most henious ever perpetrated in the state. MT. at that place, and some time during the night the negroes entered the store, and, after striking him on the head with blunt instrument of some kind, cut his throat and then dragged him out into the middle of the floor and left him. The body discovered the next morning and it was also found that the store had been robbed The two murderers were arrested within forty-eight hours and made full confession. Court was in session at the time and quick trial followed. Ingram was only IS years old.

THE DISCIPLINE
 REMAINS RIGID
Methodist Church Will Not
 Change Its Position
TOWARD W0RLD LDlY PLEASURE
If the Committees Report is Accepted and the Church Will Strongly De clare Against Card Playing,
 Dancing and Like Sports

Chicago, May 1S.-The Methodist church will not, if the report of the commmittee
 is accepted, altar it's position toward
 playing cards, dancing and certain other amusements.. The amusement question is settled far as the committee on the
 state of the church is concerned. That
 committee today decided to recommend
 that the section on prohibited amusements be taken out and that a new section be
 inserted The paragraph to De inserted is as follows:
 "Our church has from the beginning of
 its history insisted that dancing, playing | all games of chance, attending theatres, horse races, circuses, dancing parties and
 other amusements, which cannot be used
 in the name of the Lord Jesus, are peril
 ous to the spiritual life and influence of the
 members of our church. and enervatng to
 the spiritual power of the church in the great work of saving souls. The tendency in social circles toward dangerous amuse- ments was never stronger than now, and
 we deem it wise to reaffirm our historic at
 titude upon this subject. This advice must
 not be interpreted as the waiving of the churchs right to call to account any mem
 Der who continues to indulge in those di- versions, which cannot be used in the name of the Lord Jesus.'
 Acting under the advice of the board of bishops the committee on episcopacy at it's meeting today decided to recommend to the general conference that an additional bishop be elected to take charge of the
 work in east China. This makes three mis- sionary bishops which the conference will be called upon to elect at the present ses- sion.
 Bishop McCabe, who occasioned consider able surprise several days ago by prepar- | ing and giving out for publication set of satirical resolutions referring to the outside work performed by the bishops may be | censured by the conference for his action. Today Chairman Buckley. declared that the committee on episcopacy would investigate | Bishop McCabe's action and report to the l general conference.
