In several English and American papers
lately an attempt has been made to find
n concise accurate definition O: the word
"home.' In the great array OF answers
brought out. nearly all emphasize the
idea of its being the place where father,
mother and whole nest full of happy
children gather in mutual confidence and
love. But there are still homes. happy
homes without number. from whence the
children have flown or to which per-
which the dear father and mother have
long since been taken, and homes in
which the solitary have been set by
Providence.
While on this account the idea of home
varies in detail according to individual
circumstances, might not a broad general
characterization be the place where each
heart cries out TO be when misfortune
oVcrtakcs. or great happiness comes p?
The place where our loved ones still abide
or the place made through association
Inc place where our most cherished be-
!onenss are gathered; in brief, our
earthly fortress, refuse. shrine, treasure
house, hears ease. What woman could
wish for wider sphere of influence and
usefulness than to be the center of a
home, for though many make the

New Orleans, July IA shocking
story of murder for robbery was brought

BIattan from the island of Utilla, lying
off the HOnduran coast.
The schooner Olympia was about to
make trip to Rutan. Truxillo, and Be-
lie. She had about 2l00 sol on board
with which to buy cattle at Truxillo
and sell at Belize. Thirteen persons
were on board, including several pass
engers among whom were two women
and two children. Shortly after the
Olympia left Utilla, shot was heard
and everybody rushed on deck. A ne.
gro named Robert McGill, armed with
rifle, was shooting the men on board.
When he had killed all but one man,
he ordered him below to scuttle the ship
When the unfortunate returned he al.
so killed him. Then he put the two wo-
men and the children in dory and
steered for the main land. He changed
