turcly over q large portion OF the
western half of the State, but there
is no pcrccptible change in the coil

interruption in the east, where some
open cotton was damaged by rain

PARENTS READ THIS

In view of the efforts now being
made to clean up and repair the
cemetery and to keep it in good con-
dition, parents should teach their
children to respect this effort and to
feel the same spirit toward the proper
care of the same.
At the last meeting OF the Woman's
Relief Corps, s12 was presented to the
Cemetery Association, to provide for
the care of twelve neglected graves.
further, one woman in Grand Rapids,
who prefers not to give her name in
connection, made handsome con.
tribution toward providing some oil
boiled flags bearing the letters,
SO. A. R." to be placed on the graves
of old soldiers.
Efforts are being made on all sides
to entirely repair and beautify the
cemetery, and since children are most
liable to commit depredationS. parents
would do we'll to see that a proper
respect for the city Of the dead is
inculcated within the minds of theil
children.

THE STAIN OF CRIME
Terrible Devastation of Mental
and PHYSICAL Power.

A strong piece of evidence of the
terrible wear on physical and mental
power of man, produced by crime, is
shown in the person of Abraham
Karatsky, held at the County Jail on
a charge of murder. At least some
time before the murder last fall,
Karatsky appeared to be in sound
mind. His appearance at times, now.
impresSeS one aSlthat of one bereft
of all sense, and before whom there
stands at all times, a spectre Of the
victim of his madness, and fresh signs
of his heniOuS crime.
When first seen by a visitor to his
cell, KaratSky is almost invariably
pacing about The iron cage in which
he is confined. He almost continually
holds his hands to his head, with a
finger in each ear, as though to shut
out the sound. The sound of any
thing falling seems to strike him like
a blow, and Tor some time after the
sound he cries and sobs to himself. At
times he stands still, and Stares at his
hands, and pOurS water on them, and
appears to be trying to wash some
thing from them. When his cell was
being washed, he laughed with great
glee, and stood pointing at imaginary
objects being taken from the room.
Hour after hour is spent in this
manner, till the physical body is worn
out and he is compelled to rest.
Pale, thin, and with worn out air,
pacing about the narrow confines of
his prison, apparently at all times
haunted by the memory of his crime,
he presents piteouS spectacle. Men
will endure Klondike: they will engage
in the fiercest battles; even suffer for
months in Internal Africa, but will
come forth sound, at least in mind.
What, then, can be the terrible
thoughts capable of such results, of
him on whose hands are the stains of
the awful crime of murder. The only
trace Of what was once a strong mind
is the Shrewdness which is shown.
At times, KaratSky appears rational.
The question of his sanity is to be
decided in court, in answer to plea
made by his attorney, d. d. Conway.
If all his insanity is assumed, he is a
good actor; his appearance now,
pitiful, and at the same time horrible,
10 full Of the signs of great mental
deterioration, the unmistakeable
stains of crime.
