How Man Terrorized Wales, Mass
 and Finally Was Killed.
 Frank Gregoire of Wales while resist ing arrest was accidentally killed early last Saturday morning by Officer Charles Thomas of Palmer. Gregoire had served five years in state prison at CharlestoWn, Mass, for breaking and entering business places al Wales and was considered a desperate character. Friday Mrs Isarah Hiscock while in her own home was attacked by man who threw her down, choked her and held one hand over her mouth, but she managed to break away from his grasp sufficiently to scream.
 MT. Hiscock heard his wife call, and ran to her assistance. The man jumped to his feet as MT. Hiscock entered the room. The latter told his wife to run for the gun. She ran out and called for help instead. The assailant ran up stairs, passed out of "a rear door and across an open lot about forty or fifty rods to a strip of woods, where he dis appeared. Neither MT. nor Mrs. Hiscock recognized him. He had a cap pulled low upon his head, his coat collar was turned up, and a. muffler wound about the lower part of his face prevented any of it except the eyes being seen The man was wearing a pair of new rubbers, leaving a very distinct mark in the snow.
 The tracks were followed through the woods back to the highway and along the road toward the postof1ice. Several employees of the Golden Rod mill saw Frank Gregoire pass up the road to- ward the postoffice just before the searching party appeared, and he was at once suspected. It was found that drawers in several rooms in the upper part of MT. Hiscock rooms in the upper part of MT. Hiscocks house had been searched, which indicated that the as sailant of Mrs Hiscock was looking for plunder.
 Gregoire remained about the post office most of the day. He was told that he was suspected and he spoke to several about it. He stated that no man could arrest him, and that the first man who crossed his door in the at tempt would>be a dead man. Mr. His cock declined to make 6 complaint against Gregoire. He said he was afraid of revenge The authorities thought the man ought to be arrested. however, and a warrant for assault with intent to rob was made out
 Deputy Sheriff Northrop of Palmer was sent for and asked to bring assist ance. He came to Wales with Deputy Sheriff Bills and Officer Charles Thomas. They were met by Constables c. c. Thompson and LeRoy Squier of | Wales, and went at once to the house of MT. and Mrs. Herbert Thomas, col l ored with whom Gregoire had been 1 living. The Thomases were found and ! arrested upon aW arrant for keeping a disorderly house, but Gregoire, whom they said had been there, was not in the |

WHERE MEN EAT TO LIVE.

"The Trappist monks consider eating
 to be necessary evil, and curtail it to such Q degree that one step further would be suicide. Dinner, to which
 scarcely fifteen minutes is devoted, con-
 sists of mess of vegetables boiled in water without butter or salt and served in a crude earthenware bowl, a slice or two of rye bread without butter, and a mug of milk or water as a beverage. Supper is the barest apology for meal, being nothing more than bread and wa ter. The guestmaster did not mention breakfast if there be such a meal it probably consists merely of a glass of water slight relaxation of this die tary is allowed to invalids, who may have two eggs q day, while on extraor dlnary occasions, such as a funeral Feast in honor of a departed friar, the monks revel in an egg apiece. They are strict vegetarians, and a Trappist must be in the very jaws of death before he VIII consent to eat meat, How these poor, untiring toilers can exist on such feeble food surpasses my comprehen- sion; and yet I saw individuals at Westmalle who had been undergoing the rigid regime for half a century. The majority of the veterans, however. were haggard, sad-faced and gaunt. and bore no resemblance to the prover- bially sleek, jolly, rotund monks of the cloister. What splendid testimony to their sincerity it is that there are no de- sertlons from the ranks. s.'i-John Bell Osborne in Lippincott's.

gate, and Mr. O. W. Morrison lay
delegate from the &emphis confer
ence, which is quite an honor to
Paduoah Methodism.
The general conference Of the
Methodist church meets every four
years, and is the most important
gathering Of the church, as it is the
wmaking body, and it also elects
the bishops, general officers, ETC., Of
the church.
II is probable that two OF more bish-
ops will be elected at Dallas this year.
DR.. E. f. Hess Of the Christian Advo-
cate in Nashville is probable
bishop timber" Various other mat
tiers will be considered, among them
the publishing house war claim
money, and the deacone s. movement,
but it is not likely there will be any
vital changes, and nothing sensational
is pending. The majority Of the
body are conservative men, and they
will be sufficient to hold in check
some erratic members who are en-
gagged in fighting the best interests Of
the church.

Superintendent q. NJ. Dugan of the
telegraph department CT the Illinois
Central system, is in Jackson, Miss.
making the preliminary arrangements
for 1.-THE new system of dispatching
trains by telephone, recently adopted
by the company.
Superintendent Dugan states that
about 900 miles of telephone wires
for the new service have already been
strung, and the line northward from
New Orleans reached Hammond yes.
terday. The force of linemen will
reach jackson by the 18th. 1t is ex-
pected to have the entire service in.
stalled and in practical working order
within the next sixty days. The esti.
mated cost Of putting in the new sys-
tenn isg $780, 900. II is not intended
to abandon the present dispatching

tion win be gradual, and for several
months at least, both telegraph and
