with the arrival Of the king and the
royal party at the Palace of Westmins-
ter special landing place had been
most carefully prepared, the steps be-
ing covered with carpets in order to
prevent the king receiving any discom-
Tort. The barge, however, missed it's
land1ng-place and made for the stairs
connected with the back yard of the
palace, most inconvenient spot for
landing, and then stuck fast in the mud
pefore 1t finally reached the cause
way. This was taken to be an evil
and ominOus presage."
Another curious incident which has
come down to us was connected with
the proclamation of the king at the
very outset Of his reign; when the
herald, instead of using the time hon
ored phrase, .Indubitable heir to the
throne" employed most unfortunately
the epithet "dubitable"
we must pass on, however, to the
HanoVerian monarclls of the following
century. George III, although his ac-
cess1on was hailed With universal re-
Jolclngs, was nevertheless the victim
OF a most ill-omened event. While he
was moving with the crown upon his
mead, the great diamond it contained
suddenly fell to the ground, and was
only recovered with much difficulty.
Some alarm was thereupon aroused in
different quarters, and even at the
present day it is curious to remember
how less than thirty years later Eng
land experienced one of the greatest
and most humiliating losses it has
ever known in the severance of the
united StateS-an event largely due to
the obstinacy of this venx king.

MINISTER A MURDERER
REV. w. e. HINSHAW SERVING A
LIFE SENTENCE FOR CRIME
Strange Tale of Terrible Struggle Did
Not Save Him-Many Peculiar Cir
cumstances Surrounding the Tragedy
People Divided as to the Guilt Of
the Clergyman.

Special Correspondence.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. Rev.
William E. Hinshaw is now undergoing
a life sentence in the Michigan City
prison for the murder of his wife, Mrs
ThurZa Hinshaw. He was a minister
in high standing in the Methodist
church and was located in Belleville,
Hendricks, county, Ind. About mid
night of Jan. 10, 1895, his wife was
murdered. A few moments later the
town was aroused by cries of "Mur-
der!" and a fusillade of pistol shots.
Within few moments witnesses gath
cred at the scene of the tragedy. The
preacher was the only one noted except
his dying wife. He stated that he had
been shot, cut and wounded by two or
more burglars and that his wife had
been murdered. The prosecution
claimed that not a burglar was to be
found anywhere near the premises. Be-
ing asked for a more detailed state
ment, he described quite lengthy and
terrific struggle that he had had with
the marauders. He said he was first
awakened by sounds of pistol shots and
expressions of fright and terror from
his wife. She exclaimed:
ooh, WIFI I am shot!"
He saw two men-one heavy set,
with cap; the other tall and slim. He
jumped out Of bed and as he did SO

minister Of the gospel, with no appar-
ent cause for dependency or lack of
ambition in his chosen vocation. His
wife was as devoted to church work as
himself, and was characterized as a
helpmeet in very truth. The relations
Of the two were affectionate beyond
the average. This was testified to by
his family, by her family and by ali
who were most closely associated with
them and who knew them best.
Woman In the Case.
The only thought suggested that might
have caused any trouble between them
was the alleged attentions of Hinshaw
to Miss Allie Ferree. Some evidence

Recently Mr. Hinshaw has expressed
the. opinion that he thought that the
real murderer was "sick unto death"

he felt a strange and burning main IN
ms side; that he Immediately grappled
with one OF the men and struggled
through the rooms with him; that, his
Wlfe got out of bed and grappled with
the other; that at one time during thn
struggle in the house his wife put her
hand upon him and said. "Wiu is this
your" that he threw off her hand as
ne was engaged, as he thought. in
lie struggle with the burglar; that
they fought through the rooms. down
the stairway, out of the door and
across the street. AS they struggled
across the street the thought came to
him that If he could get his antagon-
ISL across the street to q fence that
was opposite his property he might
break his back by forcing him across
the fence.
Terrible Struggle Described.
At this point he was shot for the
second time and fell unconscious.
When he revived in the cold January
morning air he began crying for help
until he sank once more to the ground.
During the struggle he was cut several
times by the burglar with a razor The
wife In the meantime had struggled
with the other burglar down the stair
way and out to the front porch, where
ne finally disposed of her by shooting
her to death.
The theory of the prosecution was
that Hinshaw, having become enam-
ored with another woman of his
church, deliberately planned his wifes
murder and then on the night of JAN
10 carried out his plan, shot her as she
slept in his bed and with her dead body
beside him shot himself, cut himself
with knife or razor, and, having car
ried her dead body down the stairway,
threw 1t out upon the porch, where it
was found afterward.
During the trial there was a notable
conflict Of testimony on several points.
AS to the two known actors in the
tragedy, 1T was shown by a number Of
witnesses and conceded by the prose-
cution that up to the time OF the trag-
edy Hinshaw's reputation was excel
lent. He was quiet and orderly, ear

event TOOK place on this occasion Of the
most extraordinary and remarkable de-
scrlpt1on. At that tirr the king of
england happened also to be Duke
of Normandy, and it was customary to
signify this fact by replacing a spear
in his hand. The king, however. in
spite of the solemn surroundings. was
bursting with laughter from head to
1oot. Inc result was that he made
no real attempt to grasp the spear, and
It fell out of his quiyering hand.

years later, John was ignominiously

Which the venerable walls of West

an extraordinary number Of truly ter.

other things, when the grand ceremony
OF the Recognition was being perform

reason, the spectators made absolute
ly no attempt whatsoever to make their
reply to the words uttered by the Of
floating prelate. An almost death
like silence thereupon ensued, and it
seemed for a moment as though the
progress of the ceremony had reached
a complete standstll. At last, in sheer
desperation, the Earl Marshal came
forward and told the speA tators that

who was the first to be crowned within
those hoary walls.
Even the place where the pious Con-
lessor was crowned is a matter of
doubt. Whilst Hardicanute was en-
Joy1ng power in England, Edward was
refugee at the Norman court.
At the death of the latter Godwine
and other Saxon earls brought Edward
across to England and he was enthron-
ed in Christ church, Canterbury, in
the year 1912.
From there he went to Winchester,
where it was the custom for the king
to wear the crown and hold a large
assembly every Easter. King Edward
was Solemnly crowned by AeIric. of
York, and other bishops. It was at
Winchester too that Edward received
ambassadors from King Henry, of
Germany, and made the first Anglo
German alliance.
The coronation Of William the Con-
queror ended in massacre, due to the
antipathy Of the Saxons for their new
conquerors and rulers.
The grim events Of that miserable
day have been aptly summed UP for us
by Prof. Freeman. "The wrong deeds"
he says, "of that mid winter day were
not forgotten. Men saw in them an
omen of what the rule of the Norman
would be. There can be no doubt that
lney uld mucn 10 set the minds of
Englishmen against the king and his
government. And in truth the deeds
of wrong of that day were in every
way a passage of what the reign of
William was to be-"

times an ash tray also. But if you say
to the shopman:
'Oh. but ne doesn't smoke" the shop
man will probably answer:

For your men. as for all the other re-
cipients OF your gifts. consider the in
dividual tastes of each. This is an ex-
cellent guide. Perhaps the middle aged
man is fond of reading quietly at home.

is that such cases are hard to discover.
However, We can be on the lookout for

to take your own children TO the homes

each child to make its little Christmas

Concerning
christmas
Shopping

~ ONE early and avoid the
crush" 1t is the best possible
advice. Suppose you are
wife, mother. sister or grand
mother, or all four at once for
the matter of that. as the lively and
alert new woman often is. and suppose
you have considerable number of
Christmas gifts to buy. You will make
your purchases to far better advantage
by going early, not only in the month,
but also in the day. In the morning
the shop attendants are fresh for their
work, their temper is good, their heads
are clear Chief of all. they have time
to match shades and to give their judg
ment on goods. The help of the shop
people is important in making up ones
mind what to buy. A shrewd buyer
can easily detect whether a sales person
is merely trying to hypnotic her into
taking a thing she does not want or
really trying TO give her points as to
purchases. The saleswoman or sales
man whose business is to sell goods re-
CARELESS of consequences is one to be
avoided.
It is settled, then, that the Christmas
shopper should go early in the season
ana carry III the Qdy W pui-
chases. Let her first make tour OF
the stores. looking at the goods dis
played. She need not trouble with
questions any attendant who is busy.
Let her simply walk through the de-
partments, keeping her eyes and ears
open. This will annoy nobody. If she
wants to know the prices or 10 obtain
other information in regard to an 2rti-
Gle any attendant worthy the name who
is not engaged at the moment will give
It to her cheerfuily. Thus will she find
out without too much trouble what
things are new and desirable. She will
get many fresh and valuable ideas to
aid her in real shopping expeditions.
Next, let her consider to whom she
must give presents. In this matter it
is we'll to set herself like iron against
all those greedy hangers on who always
expect something of them ex-
cept the children, that is. Children
have right to expect something and
to be made happy as the day is long at
Christmas. But for that other brood
those who merely exchange Christmas
presents and expect gifts to be re-
turned with businesslike promptness
and fidelity and of greater value than
