Minneapolis, Aug. 3-John Willis was
arrested here last evening while att
tempting to have money order cashed
at a postof1ce substation. Willis is
said to have escaped the custody Of
officers who were taking him to the
state prison at Jacksonville, Tenn, to
serve a fifteen-yeary term.
1t is said that, although manacled he
leaped from the window of train NOV
ing forty miles an hour. Willis Is
charged with the abduction Of a young
woman whose parents are wealthy and
who live at Evanston, Mo. He claims
he was engaged to the girl and that his
conviction was procured to prevent her
marrying him. The arrest is due to the
detective work Of the postmaster at
Evanston, who discovered that letter
directed to Willis had been deposited
at his Office and followed the letter to
Minneapolis in order to obtain the $500
reward offered for the young mans
capture. III

A Call For DecisMs Day.

To all Sunday School Workers: Sun,
day, January 20. has been designat, d
by the Ohio Sunday School Association
as "Decision Day" for 1902. Upon this
day each Sunday School teacher in
Ohio is requested to present Jusus
member OF his class. This request does
not grow out of a sordid desire to se-
cure some novel effect by concerted ac-
tion. 1t is rather a reminder TO teach
ers, "lest they forget" Nor is this par
ticular day intended to displace any
other day which may have been selected
by any church.or pastor or superintend-
ent. The date matters not. Some
schools observe Decision Day" every
quarter-others during the revival sea.
son, and Thousands 1--WE are sorry 10 say
not at all. The call to observe "Decis-
ion Day" is simply an effort TO make
sure that the great and primary object
of all Sunday School work at least once
year, has its needed emphasis.
Thousands OF youth should give their
hearts to God and seriously begin a
Christian life. 1t is the opportunity OF
the year. Let teachers make an appeal
to their scholars. The next few weeks
are golden. Let teachers everywhere
make the most of the day. Begin to
pray and plan for it. To your Bibles
for guidance! To your knees for power.
May God crown your efforts with many
souls saved.
Information relative to plans for ap.
preaching and observing the day will
be supplied without charge by addres.

lin, the wife of the managing owner
of the Columbia. the yacht that de-
feated Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock
in the races of 1899.
Mrs. Iselin Is not only one of the
most admired soeicty beauties o. New
York. but a most enthusiastic yachts
woman. She sailed on the winning
yacht in the races that last won the
cup. and her presence on the yacht
added greatly to the enthusiasm of
the crew. Dressed in a gown OF dark
blue with white trimmings, and with
a sailor hat, she sat in the compan-
ionway of the yacht. where she could
see everything. hear every order, and
watch the shifting fortunes Of each
race. and yet not be in the way of the
sailors or where the great swinging
boom could strike her.
She may not take a personal part in
the next races. but there will be no
10 keenly interested spectator. Her
home is on the shore of Long Island
sound, not far from New York city,
and from her windows she can see the
sail dotted waves OF that paradise OF
yachtsmen.
She watched every detail OF the con-
struction OF the Columbia from start
to finish; she knew how every plank
was laid and what were the exact use
and proper position OF every bit OF
canvas Then, when the yacht was
launched. 1t was she who c~hristened
It. She understands the practical sail
ing of a yacht. as well as its construc-
ton. She was married to Mr.. Iselin
in 1894. and before her marriage was
Miss Hope Goddard.
