Thaddeus stevens.
Representative Csssel who succeeded tIs
late Marriott Brosius in the House. is max
ing an effort to have Congress recognize
/ the distinguished services to his country
and the lofty patriotism OF Thaddeus
( Stevens. He has introduced bill TO ap-
propriate the sum OF s5000o for the erec-
tion of monument to the memory of Mr..
Stevens IN Lancaster. Pa. his old home
The city of Lancaster is willing to as
sist in the erection OF a suitable monu-
nent, but Mr. Cassel believes that. in
view OF the great service which Mr. Stew
ems rendered to the nation during the
great struggle preceding the civil war,
the Government ought TO make proper
recognition by voting to build a monu-
ment to his memoir.
Congress is slow to make appropriations
OF this kind. and it is not probable that
the measure Will secure attention by this
Congress at least. Those members who
are in favor of erecting monuments to dis
tinguished statesmen as a rule believe
that they should be located In Washing
ton, where the services of such men were
rendered. Mr.. Casse1 however, intends
to keep his bill before Congress as long
as he remains a member, until some day
the appropriation is made.

COAL UNLoADED YESTERDAY.
r. N. Blakeslee and His Army of Men
Were Kept Busy.

Was yesterday Sunday? The calen-
dar says SO, but people about town
who saw coal carts moving about by
the score thought they had made some
mistake and were not sure whether
they ought to go to church or not.
But it was the Sabbath just the same
and the real violator was none other
than II. n. Blakeslee, a man who bears
the reputation Of having as much re-
spect for the divine command to keep
the day holy as the good men who
preach the word. But this was case
of necessity and as everybody knows
where such conditions arise even the
most rigid observers of Scriptures look
on approvingly. To be sure things
We're not always SO in New England,
but it seems we have outlived the be-
lief that it is sinful to do anything
but pray on the Lords day. A hard
days work can be made a very ac-
ceptable prayer, and no doubt this is
the way Mr. Blakeslee and the men
who grappled with the cars Of coal at
the depot looked at it yesterday The
Ahase Rolling Co received cargo con-
gignment OF coal on condition that the
cars should be .unloaded within a given
time. The only way the contract
coulu De comp1ed with was by put
ting on a big force of men Sunday
and in this way forty cars were empti-
ed during tho day. Mr. Blakeslee SUI
perintended the work and made it a
point to see that the wants of the in
ner man We're not neglected. About
l5O men We're at work with 60 teams.
Mr. Blakeslee had something good in
q large can and passed it around to the
men with lavish hand The drink
was labeled coffee, but for all the pub
lie knows it might have been some
thing better. Anyway everybody
liked it and to make the laborers all
the happier cigars were passed around
now and then SO that really what some
folks might have regarded as a hard
ship turned out to be quite an enjoy
able affair and in the excitement few
stopped to think whether it was Sun
day or some other day.

The BLONDIN CASE
Man Who Eluded Officers So
Long Now on Trial.
TWO MURDER INDICTMENTS.

The Accused Has a Trio of Lawyers
Who Will Fight for His Life--The
Court Room Was Crowded to the
Doors and Many People Could Not
Get Lcok in.
Boston, Dec 1.--For the alleged mur-
der Of his wife, whose headless body
was found in brush heap in Chelms-
ford, Mass, in June, 1901, j. Wilfred
Blondin was placed on trial here to-
day. The case. which is one of the
most mysterious that ever came into
the hands of the Boston police, is bas-
ed upon the theory that Blondin, from
jealousy, killed his wife in a lodging
house on Green street, this city, cut
off the head, and in a trunk, bad the
parts taken to Chelmsford where he
disposed of the body under the brush
heap and threw the head into a brook
some distance away. The murder is
believed to have been committed in
April. The body was found on June
10 ard the head few days later. BY
the time that Identification had been
made Blondin had disappeared. After
chase which took the officers all over
New England, into the west and into
Canada, Blondin finally was found
and arrested in New York city last
February.
Two murder indictments stand
against him, one in Suffolk county on
which the trial was begun to-day and
one in Middlesex county, in which
Chelmsford is located. The theory
that the woman was killed in this city
rather than that the murder took place
in Chelmsford where the body was
found as the second Indictment
charges, being considered the better
supported by the evidence obtained, it
was decided to bring trial in the Suf-
folk court.
Judges Stevens and Braley were the
presiding judges to-day and for the
fourth time Attorney General Parker
appeared as prosecutor in murder
case. He was assisted by Assistant
District Attorney John, ID. Mclaughlin.
Rlondin had three lawyers, John III.
Morrison. and James f. Owens of Low
ell, and j. G. B. jacques of Salem.
The case was scheduled to be called
at $50. The corridors leading to the
superior criminal court room were
crowded some time before the doors
were opened. When the judges took
their places they saw a room packed
to the remotest corner and through the
glass panels Of the outer doors could
be seen q greater crowd, who had not
been able to get in.
Proceedings opened promptly. Blon-
din, clean shayen, dark clothed and ap-
parently unconcerned had been brought
in by Deputy Sheriff McDonough.
1t is understood that Blondin's de-
fense will be that Mrs Blondin had
left her husband and was living with
another man and that all Blondin's ac-
t1ons on the day Of the murder win be
accounted for in way to show he
could not have committed the crime.

little town Of Westvilie, six miles east
Of this city, Wesley Reynolds, watch
man Of the Westville State bank, was
shot and killed by burglars while de-
Tending the bank safe from their at

peradoes, who were attacked by citi.
zens who had been alarmed by the bat
tie, fought their way to liberty and are
still at large, though a posse Of infu-
rated men are after them, and final
escape seems impossible. The watch
NAN saved the bank at the. cost Of his
own life, for the burglars did not have
time to blow open the big safe after
killing him. It is thought he wounded

CHURCH DIGNITARIEs.
Assembled to Take Part in Advent
Missionary Meetings.

8
New York, Dee 1.--Church digni-
tarles, headed by six bishops, are as
selaDied here to take part i'll the week
OF advent missionary meetings, to be
held in the Protestant Episcopal
churches OF the city and at Carnegie
hall.
The meetings will continue afternoon
and evening throughout the week.
Twenty-Five million dollars are needed
annually, churchmen say, to defray the
expenses of sending white missionaries
to foreign lands, and the present meet
ings of the clergy are for the purpose
OF discussing means for raising the
churches share of funds for the work
and for making public ideas to the
people of New York city showing how
the work is carried on.
Among these attending the confer
ences are Right Rev Lord Bishop of
ThetforG, England; Bishop Partridge
of Kyote, Japan; Bishop Burgess of
Long Island, Bishop futile of Missouri,
Bishop Hall of Vermont, Bishop Gailor
Of Tennessee and Bishop Caller OF
South Carolina
The lord bishop of Thetford, in a
sermon at the church of the Incarna-
tlol, said: when the church ceases
to give she ceases to live. The dark
ages were ushered in at the time when
the church forgot her duty in giving,
forgot the work which the Master had
given her to do. There is no more
magnificent work fer man or woman
than to go out in the foreign fields in
Gods armies. ~
Some people say that we should not
give so much attention to the foreign
missions when we have so many
heathens at home. Whose fault is
this! The neglect of our duty at home
Is no excuse for not doing our work
abroad. Prayer on one hand and much
aims giving or the other is the bone
and sinew of the warfare which our
foreign missionaries are CARRYING oD
every day. How can we thank God
whom we have had no part in the bat
t7e?'
