two thousand in the past month,

The Yoke deals with one of the most
interesting and widely related portions of
sacred history. The plot Is well laid and
admirably sustained. 1t is highly imagin-
alive, full of movement as any writing must
be that has the element of romance in 1t,
and yet there is no perversion of the facts of
history. The book has religious value. and
imparts instruction while It entertains. Its
reading cannot fail to increase interest in the
Bible narrative Of Gods ancient people In
the time of the Pharaohs, and of His pur-
pose concerning them. heartily wish that
such reading could take the place of the
empty. pointless. trashy literature which fills
the minds and hampers the lives of many Of
our youth to-day.

Baltimore. May 31.-Mayor Robert
NJ McLane of this city shot and killed
himself at his home yesterday after
non. His bride of less than two weeks
was at the time of the tragedy asleep in
an adjoining room and was awakened
by the discharge of the revolver, which
Mr.. McLane evidently fired while
standing before the mirror of the
dressing case, the bullet going thru his
head.
Mrs. McLane and other members of
the household rushed to the mayors
assistance but he did not regain
consciousness and expired within an
hour.
No cause can be assigned for the act
by the members OF MIR. McLane's fam
lily: Since the first of last February he
has been kept assiduously at work adj
ministering the affairs of the city, be-
sides endeavoring to direct the reha-
Utilization and rebuilding of the burned
district This, together with criticisms
by his political opponents are thought
by many to have caused temporary
alteration of mind.

Mayor McLane was SO years old the

He was the son of James l.. McLane.
president of the First National bank,
and nephew of Robert NJ. McLane, for
mer governor of Maryland and United
States minister to France during Pres

Previous to his election as mayor he
had for four years filed the office or
states attorney in which he had dis
tinguished himself. During his brief
administration of the mayoralty ne
had brought upon himself the antago-
nism of the democratic organization by
the appointment of Independent MEM
bers of the party. Recently there has
been marked opposition to him among
democratic members of the city coun-
ell in matters relating to the rebuild
ing of Baltimore. and this is ascribed
by many as contributery cause of
suicide.
Mayor McLane was married two
weeks ago to Mrs. Mary Van Bibber

The dead mayor was very popular

The successor of Quay as manager

has the skill and tact to do the work.
he has been known heretofore as a

has all of Quay's brutality and des-
