Correcting the Prayer Book.

fees God is we'll pleased" and left out
comma after grace" in the sentence

ward and spiritual grace given unto
u.s. in the Catechism.
The home secretary explained yes
terday that In leaving out the word
well the printers of the Universities
of Oxford and Cambridge, corrected an
error In earlier editions OF the prayer
book.
The printers agreed that the comma
should be, omitted. so that the inter-
probation Of the sentence should not be
preJudlced in any direction. II being
clear that the system Of punctuation
used in the books OF the seventeenth
century Is not such as TO Justify the
baaing of an argument on the presence
or absence OF this comma.

of the young mother, that We are pleased

Underwood fairly raed when in

child was made away viii, and had laid
the blame on him.
"sshe knows that lisa lie,' he said.
"Why don't she tell te truth, and be
done with it. She wand me to get rid
of the baby, and 1 refu'd to do it. She
said she didn't want ~ babies, and 1
told her that it was muse for us to live

South Bend, June IS, Especial to Aber-
deem HERALD Paul Underwood's cap
ture was accomplished at $3.50 a. M,
Saturday, after a pulling, battling and
laborious search, extending over ten
DAYS. From the time he disappeared
from Tokeland, Thursday, June ., until
Saturday morning not trace OF him was
seen except remains of camp fires. He
lighted fires every evening but carefully
extinguished them before dark every
night. His trail through the woods he
concealed as carefully as an Indian
might. In passing through swamp he
would carefully move skunk cabbage
leaves before stepping, then carefully lay
them over his tracks. His first night
was spent under an old boat on the beach.
The rest of the time was in the woods
and in all the time he was out he made
only about five miles in a straight line.
Said he started for South Bend and sup
posed he was about opposite that place
when captured. Started at Georgetown
and was about one and one-half miles
from Tokeland when caught. Says pur-
suers frequently passed within ten feet
of him. and one man within reach OF him.
More than once heard pursuers talking
of him. Wallace Stewart, of Tokeland,
was first to see him on low ridge about
$50 yards away going down to swamp.
Sheriff Cudihee was already down there
when Underwood stepped out OF the
brush and was nabbeds Took his cap
ture philosophically and appeared not to
realize his position. On his first arrival
at Tokeland he registered a. l.. Moore
Blair. Mich. On arrival saturday ros'e-
tered as Paul Underwood, of Underwood
Park. He was taken to South Bend on
the mail steamer and will be taken to
Seattle, Monday. Sheriffs Cudihee and
Roney, Deputy Sheriff Markham, Mar
shall Graham, VIM. Kindred, G. l..
Houk, Chas. Peterson, G. H. Webster
and Wallace Stewart were the capturing
party. Underwood talks freely OF the
baby's death, and says baby was dead
when dropped in the water. Died from
result of dysentery. Speaks we'll OF his
wife.

WASHINGTON
STREET BRIDGE

| Although President Merritt N.
Willltts, of the Levy Conrt, has
been unable to find anything in
the county records to show that
the Water Commissioner paid its
subscription of $4,000 toward
the cost OF Washington street
bridge, officials of the Water Dec
partmcnt declare that the amount
Was paid to the county. Regis
trar John S. Grohe, of the Water
Department said that the sub
scription was paid in May, 1895.
John L. Dickey, who was county
treasurer during that period, says
the $4,000 was paid, and duly,
entered, and his report shows that
to be so.
Notwithstanding this, the Levy
Courtmen are unable to find any
record of the payment by the
Water Department in the minutes
OF the court. The only payments
recorded are: $1,000 by the
Wilmington Coal Gas Company,
and $25 by Charles W. Pusey.
The North Side Improvement
Company according to Samuel H.
BaynarI, the president, has paid
81 of its subscription of ST.
$50. The remainder was not paid
