The dead President was only seventeen
years old when he enlisted as private in
an Ohio regiment, of which Rutherford b.
Hayes, afterwards President, was major
and later colonel. In a public address,
delivered in 1891, Mr.. Hayes said:
Young as he was, we soon found that in
business, in executive ability, young Nc
Kinley was a man of rare capacity, of I'M
usual and unsurpassed capacity, especially
for boy of his age. When battles were
fought or service was to be performed in
warlike things he always took his place.
The night was never too dark; the weather
was never too cold; there was no sleet, or
storm, or hail, or snow, or rain that was
in the way of his prompt and efficient per-
Torrance of every duty.
The boy was father to the man. Prompt
and efficient performance of every duty

Some rather severe criticisms are being
passed upon the new American revision
of the Bible, the chief objection being that
the revisers, with the purpose of making
meanings clear, have substituted modern
words for those used in the King James
version where there was really no obscur-
ity of meaning; that, in short, sweeping
changes in language have been made
where there was no reason for it and
familiar passages made strange TO the ear
IL this is the case faithful Bible readers
will simply reject the revised version as
they did the New Testament version OF
some twenty years ago, which changed the
familiar form. Wherever scholars find that
a translation has been incorrect and sub
stitute the right one they are doing COM
mendable work, but when they take liber-
ties with scriptural texts merely to make it
modern they are wasting their labor. The
old forms are seldom obscure so far as the
words used are concerned, and to many
they carry with them associations that are
sacred. The trouble seems to be that the
revisers did not give the public credit for
intelligence and common sense.

Now that the President is dead, the peo-
pie Of the United States expect that the
proper officials in Erie county. New York,
will bring the assassin Czolgocz to imme-
date trial, that the trial shall not last over
two days and that execution shall follow
conviction as promptly the laws Of New
York will permit. Above all things, the
country wants no pettifogging lawyer to
drag out the trial upon technicalities The
people will be indignant if the court admits
expert testimony to show that the assassin
was insane when he committed the deed.
Whatever lawyers may think, intelligent
people who are not lawyers are disguised
with the pleas of insanity which are so fire.
quently resorted to to save life-takers. The
sensible theory is that a person who has
sufficient sanity to use a deadly weapon
should be visited with the penalties Of the
law. 1t is murder in the heart which leads
those afflicted with any sort Of madness to
commit murder, and, having committed
murder, they should be got rid of on the
same ground that a mad dog is not toll
Grated. Punishment of the wretch who
took the Presidents life an individual
has nothing to do with the demand for his
speedy trial and execution, but the desire
to teach others who may be inclined to
murder in like form that the death penalty
is sure and swift, and to assure the public
that no INSCRIPTIONS lawyer, as in the case
Of Garfeld's murderer. shall prolong the
trial through weeks on mere technicalities.

nead to Her Family.

A Young Hindeo girl, a convert 10
Methodism, has been on visit 10 DOS
ton during the past few weeks. Iier
name is Sooboonagam Animal, which
is shortened to Sooboo for purposes OF
friendly conversation.
Sooboo is particularly Interesting
from the fact that she belongs 10 a
high-caste family-a caste deemed SUI
perior in India to ordinary mortal asso-
citation. The girl heard the mission
preachers at first with contempt, but
she ended by running away from her
arlstocratic home to the mission ana
said she had become a Christian. IN
leaving her gods behind her she left
also her jewels.
First the angry and desperate father
came to the mission and threatened TO
put Sooboo's new friends in jail for
kidnapping. The girl was produced
and elected to stay where she was.
The father went away uttering the
final word, "Outcast!' which Is sent
ence of death
But soon the broken-hearted mother,
who never goes forth and whose visit
to the mission was contamination,
came and pleaded with Sooboo to re-
turn to the home of those who had
reared her and loved her. The girl de-
clared her love for her mother, but re-
fused to go back. Then came funeral
services. as of on dead. The mother,
called "accursed" because of her visit
to the mission, could not be present,
but walked 1000 miles to the River
Ganges and held mourning service
there. Then she came home and walled
I'D the door of Sooboo's room.

aboard the little craft Their quarters
will be pretty close, but they feel GER
tain that they will not be too close for
comfort. Whenever the possibility has
been discussed of navigating a subma-
rine for long distance 1t has always
been asserted that it would be impossi-

The voyage to Lisbon is expected to

Like the Holland, No. Is cigar
shaped The dimensions and form of
the new boat are considerably greater,
however, than those Of her predecessor
recently turned over to the United
States government. The Holland is "a
feet 4 inches long, with diameter of
10 feet inches. Her displacement on
the surface Is sixty-five tons, sub
merged seventy-five tons. Her engine
has only forty-fve horse power, as
against 160 horse power on the new
boat. The length of No. Z is SO feet
4 inches, diameter II feet 0 inches, and
her interior arrangements are such that
there is about twice as much room for
her crew as there Is for the men in
the Holland. Her displacement when
on the surface Is 1903 tons and sub
merged 12O tons.
The six boats building for the gov
eminent are patterned exactly on the
lines of mo. T." Four are to be con-
strueted at Nixon's ship yards and two
at the Union Iron Works In San Fran
cisco. They are to cost $4,000 each.
The Holland Company has subcontract-
ed for their construction, and it Is one
of the peculiarities of the transaction
that at this time no one knows exactly
what their building is going to cost.
The profits of Mr.. Holland and his as
Eoclates in the deal cannot be measured
until at least two of the craft are fin
ished. 1t may be $4,000 that they
make on each boat or 1t may be only
$4,000, or even less. The experience
of building the other boat furnishes no
guide In the matter, as heretofore there
has been much experimental work. II
is only now that the experiments NAV
be said to have been completed.

Short skirt. and Box Coats.

Why will stout women insist upon
wearing short skirts and box coats
Nothing exaggerates their size to such
an extent as do these two articles. Short
skirts and box coats are really not APP
propriate together but they are not SO
bad when worn by a woman with a
slim, pretty figure. Stout women need
not necessarily give up the luxury OF
short skirts. but they should select the
medium length instead of the extreme
ly short one. The box coat is merely a
fad and the stout woman, If she be a
sensible one, will choose tight-fitting
jacket In preference to 1t as 1t will
greatly modify her size. The hang of a
short skirt should be looked after even
more carefully than that of long one,
as 1t is more conspicuous, and as the
skirts were formerly cut, with few
cores, they were sure to sag sooner or
later, but the average short skirt now
has six cores, and it retains its shape
much longer.

be esteemed a great architectural I'M
dertaking. 1t is 154 feet long, 81 feet
wide and 80 feet from the floor TO the
ridge of the roof, with seating capacity
for 1000 persons. To support this six
granite piers have been built. These are
twenty-eight feet long by twelve feet
wide and twenty feet high, set on solid
beds of concrete averaging twenty feet
in depth. On these rests the floor of
the choir, which is about thirty feet
above the level of Morningside drive.
Eight mammoth monolithic pillars,
next to the largest stones ever quar-
ried, are to surround three sides of the
altar The stones have been taken
from the quarry at Vinalhavel. Each
stone Is "a feet inches long, with an
average diameter of six feet and a
weight of more than 100 tons. The to-
tai cost of the eight when finally in po-
sition will be over 100000.
