That was a terrible affair which oc-
CURED in Milford on the Fourth. when
Edward Windsor shot and fatally
wounded his own father. A tragedy OF
such nature is revolving in the last
degree; the father had been an in
dulgent parent, and the young man had
taken full advantage Of all his liberties.
Reared in the surroundings CT a coun-
try hotel, allowed full access to every
pasiime which accompanies such a life;
learning early to drink, gamble, to
drive fast horses and to become in the
fullest extent a sporting man, suddenly
a whim is thwarted, he has never been
taught the necessity Of self-restraint.
and, flying into passion, he commits a
deed from the consequences Of which
he can never escape Surely here is
a lesson for parents, as well as for
young men. Something cannct be got
ten from nothing and when a young
man has gotten the idea that his mis-
sion in life is to have his every whim
the result is sure to be dis
astrous.

Diplomacy Fine Art.

Diplomacy is a fine art, and in its
successful practice much depends upon
the observation of social conventions.
Some of the most successful diplomats
seem to spend most of their time at
dinners and parties, apparently doing
nothing but enjoying themselves, but
in reality serving well their countries.
In truth. the reputation of a country at
foreign court and ofttimes its well
fare in important issues depend very
largely upon the social abilities of it's
minister, for the man who is popular
socially is very likely to drive a better
international bargain than his unso-
clable brother. This is well understood
at Washington, and the selection of a
chief for one of our foreign embassies
depends in no small part upon his So
eial culture.-Edward Page CASTOR In
Woman's Home Companion.

may be wrong. Mr. Byrne intimates
that We are, and who shall judge his
ability TO imagine a preposterous and
intolerable situation and to elucidate
the necessities inextricably involved
in its solution. Ergo, Mr.. Byrne would
sacrifice himself by accepting an elec-
tion to the Senate as the colleague of
Addicls. There are persons unkind
enough to say that the State has suffer-
ed sufficiently already. but they do not
know how much the president values
his counsel-and his letters, and how
he would enjoy having Senator Byrnc

all means, let us elect the modest re-

the excessive use OF alcoholic stimulants

not 50. There a man must learn his
trade, and only those trained with ex-

that there must be a corresponding in

Cyclone vs.. lightning

There are lots OF skeptical peopIo
who smile in that don't believe a word
of your story style whenever those
who know, tell the story of how the
cyclone Of SS, dropped DR.. William r.

Dr. Bullock had hitched his horse to a
post near the generals home. between
this city and New Castle. and gone
INTO the house without a suspicion Of

made to get free from the carriage.
and then il being an awkward thing to

That was the story of 1888.

Interesting Lecture on Bible
Study Given at Assembly
Room BY Eminent
Educator.

Tuesday evening Professor Moulton,
of the University Of Chicago. delivered
a lecture in the assembly room Of the
city hall upon "a New Method in Bible
Study"
"The Bible" said he, in substance,
''can be examined according to three
principal methods; the theological, the
critical and the literary. This last is
essentially new method. 1t consists
in examining the literary structure Of
the text regardless of chapter and verse
divisions and adopts as the unit oi
estimation not the verse but the book
as a whole. 1t does away with the alb
surd and artificial notion held by the
English translators of the Bible which
regarded 1t as a series of texts for COM
ment. r
Imagine" said he, "a Shakespearian
drama, Milton poem, Bacon essay,
a Wordsworth lyric, all printed between
the same covers. Tear away all the
names that indicate the speaking parts
of the drama, ignore all its divisions

John Popp Is q brother OF Henry
Popp, who was hanged at the Ohio
penitentiary in 1890 for the crime of
killing Maurice Grether in saloon row
in Canton. The crime, trial and con-
viction of Popp was one of the most
sensational in the history of Canton.
On the night of April 2, Henry Popp
stabbed Grether in the neck,
SEvERING THE JyGULAR
vein. Popp ran away but was cap.
tured short time after the murder.
Popp had been cleaning the cellar of
Grether's saloon on East Tuscarawas
street and had absorbed, through a
hose, large quantity Of had whisky
from the barrels in the cellar. He
came up stairs, after finishing the
work in very ugly mood and started
to raise a row. Grether objected and
ordered him out. Popp went out, got
a knife. and after sharpening 1t came
back to the saloon with the intention
of getting back at Grether. Grether
attempted to put him out and just as
the two men got to door Popp stabbed
the saloonist in the neck. Grether
lived but a few minutes.
The trial brought up the question
as to whether the law could hold
man responsible for crime when he
was insane with whisky. Popp was
finally convicted and hung.
NO TRACE FOUND.
The officers have made vigorous
search for Popp since the shooting oc-
Cured but have been unsuccessful
