a quarrel in the school room with
Eddie Armines. and when on their
way home the quarrel was renewed.
\ third boy, taking the part of Creel-
man, threw a piece of brick which
struck Armines on the head. At that
moment Creelman ran up to him, and
was stabbed. He soon fell, and in Is
minutes was dead.
The Armines boy walked rapidly
away, carrying the pocket knife in his
hand He went to the fire engine
house, where his uncle is captain, and
threw the knife into an Clubhouse, but
said nothing about the murder until
the news of the lads death His uncle
then surrendered him to the police,
to whom the boy told his story of the
crime:
"Creelman missed his reading les
son and was sent to the foot of the
class. The teacher made him sit at
the blackboard and / laughed at him.
When school was out he cursed me.

"Out with it, said 1. Dead men

The half jest went nearer to the
loving heart of him than l meant it

Drop that, old man." he said, with
a hand on my shoulder. "It hurts
me, and it doesn't do you any good.
You must believe that this clean air
and the outdoor life are going to

Not in a hundred years, Angus,
my boy; I've put it off too long. But
tell me the story-the other story.
What has the school-ma am to do
with it?''
Macpherson is Scotch only in name.
His manner of attacking a thing is
more like that of an English trooper
charging masked battery with the
odds against him.

Eaazcd by Cadets.

Hartman, Tenn, Dec. 5.-Four
members of the senior class at the
American Temperance university on
Tuesday night bound and gagged
Cadet Lester, carried him to the
woods near by, tied him to tree
and whipped him. Then they placed
him under a hydrant near the dormi-
tory, turned on the water and left
him in a semi-conscious condition.
The officer of the guard reported that
he found four cadets besides Lester
out of their rooms. Lester is said
to have reported many little misde-
meanors. Lester will proceed against
his assailants in the courts,

SURPLUS is WIPED OUT.
Bank Teller FItcham's Steal Extended
over "a Period of 70 Years.

Ballston, Y. Y, Dec. 5.-Bank Ex-
aminer Graham was busy yesterday
examining deposit certificates pre-
sented to the First ma &)nal bank by
holders for verification. There are
400 Understanding certificates out
standing, and it will be several days
before all can be brought in and veri-
fed, and the actual defalcation in
that line fully ascertained. Next will
be examined the depositors' books
subject to sight checks. In the lat
ter line no discrepancies are yet ap-
parent.
Several new developments increas-
ing the default in interest-bearing
certificates have been found. Several
certificates were presented yestrday
that are marked on Teller Fitcham's
books as paid and the account closed.
The bank officials assert that the
bank cannot reopen next week on a
sound basis, admitting that their
$4,000 surplus is wiped out by Fitch
ans embezzlements.
Fitcham's peculations are now
known to have extended back 20
years. His individual deposit ledger
balanced to a cent when he closed it
Saturday.
Fitcham remains at home under
strong guard and was too i'll to be
arraigned yesterday. He said the
estimates of the banks loss were eX-
aggerated that that he had not taken
more than half the sum mentioned.
He said he was not a stock gambler,
but that his trouble was due to fam
lily extravaganza.

ty often along at the frst?' | VEN
tured.

say, and taught her how to ride ~

that. You made yourself agreeable

all that. But when the angel, pure

He threw up his hands. "Let up on
that, old man." he said, with little
laugh of embarrassment. I'm no
woman's man-wasn't in the old high
flying college days, if you happen to
remember. I've been no more than
decently civil to Nancy Setter; and
as for Miss Sanborn-"
The interruption was a scurrying
dust cloud whirling up from the
portal of Six-Mile canyon; a cloud
which presently resolved itself into
a horseman, riding as if for life.

WIT WEIGHED WITH WISDOM.
Some bright Stories of the Late Bish-
Op Stubbs, of Oxford Uni
yersity.

Among the clergy generally, says
a writer in the London Spectator,
the late Bishop Stubbs, of Oxford,
was perhaps best known for his wit,
which was brilliant without being i'll
natured, and of heartening quality.
| When some gloomy soul came
burdened with parochial troubles the
/ bishop invariably sent him home with
smile on his face and a lighter
heart. Bishop Stubbs even grumbled
wittily. He was not willing to be
moved from Chester to Oxford, and
he said, as he left the chapter house:
translations."
In his new diocese a well-meaning
but rather tactless archdeacon con-
tinually informed him of what, un-
der similar circumstances, his prede-
cessor, Bishop Samuel Wilberforce,
would have done. At last he said:
"Archdeacon, you remind me of
the Witch of Endor, for you are not
contented unless you raise the ghost
of Samuel"
At prize-giving which he attend
ed at school in Oxforl, after his
fame as n historian was assured, the
head master expressed his great
sense of Indebtedness. He only
hoped that the fulfilment of such en-
gagements did not so intrude on the
bishops leisure as to diminish the
prospect of his publishing another
great book.
The bishop. in acknowledging the
kindly tribute, said that, far from
writing books, he scarcely had time
to open a book. "When / say that"
he added, "there is one book which
as a bishop l must study. I need
hardly say that the book to which I
refer" (here stiffness fell on the
audience) ''is-Bradshaw."
There was a ripple of laughter at
his mentioning the Railway Guide;
everybody had expected him to say
the Bible.
Bishop Stubbs was firm friend,
and knew very well how to defend
his friends stanchly and wittily.
Some one said to him:
There's that bishop of Manches-
ter. If there is n stone wall he runs
his head against it,"
$50 much the worse for the stone
WALL" retorted Bishop Stubbs, and
that closed the conversation.

Europeans habitually forget that
every Mussulman is more or less a
missionary-that is, he intensely de-
sires to secure converts from nom
Mussulman people. Such converts not
only increase his own chance of
heaven, but they will swell his own
faction, his own army, his own means
of conquering, governing and taxing
the remainder of mankind. All the
emotions which impel a Christian to
proselyte are in Mussulman
strengthened by all the motives which
impel a political leader and all the
motives which sway a recruiting SER
geant, until proselytism has become
passion, which, wherever success
seems practicable, and especially sue
cess on a large scale, develops in the
quietest Mussulman a fury of ardor
which induces him to break down
every obstacle, his own strongest
prejudices included, rather than stand
for an instant in a neophyte's way.
He welcomes him as a son, and what
ever his own lineage, whether the con-
vert be negro or Chinaman, or In

own child in marriage, and admit him
fully, frankly and finally into the
most exclusive society in the world

HILO, November 8.-The japanese
colony did honor to the Emperor of
Japan on Saturday, Sunday and Mon
day in celebrating the anniversary of
his birth. Some of the plantations gave
two days holiday and others allowed
only Saturday. In Hilo the stores in
the colony were decorated and business
generally suspended. Saturday night
there was a circus performance, which
lasted until midnight. At Keaau there
was big time. Besides the usual ath-
letic games and a circus there was
speech making, etc, and the Japanese
flag and hundreds of banners were fly
ing. At Mountain View there was
circus performance Saturday afternoon
and everything passed off pleasantly
with the exception of one little rumpus
over a fifty-cent piece which had been
thrown to a wrestler and picked up by
bystander who had a bad case of
mumps. A fight followed, in which the
man with the humps got a Jolt" on
the jaw that sent him away bowling
with pain.
LAHAINA, November 9.-The Jap
anese holiday was celebrated with no
little enthusiasm in Lahaina. The dec
OratiOns and feasting were very at
tractive, and there was brilliant dis
play of fireworks in the evening. All
Japanese stores were closed.
