Eve ry effort is made to have them live in normal conditions and Dr. Keniston said he regretted that states do not realize ths value of this. It is also es- sentiaI hat the patients must have reg ular houTs-for meals, exercise. sleep, diet, etc. Work is a blessing, providing 1t has an object. The percentage of cures at the State hospital, Dr. Kenis- ton said, is about twenty per cent, and of these about ten per cent, are liable to relapses.
 Dr. Keniston in closing gave some in- teresting and amusing words and ex- pressioxns coined by patients and told of some of their peculiar fancies, not the least being among the religious de- lusions.-Hartford Courant.

Urges Honesty and Integrity in College Work,

rs-.= 52 WOrk.
 The preacher at Battel1 chapel yes- terday morning was Rev. MT. Peabody, of the Groton school Groton, Mass. Taking as his text Except a man be born again, he cannot enter the kingA dom of God,' he made plea for purity and honesty in life. As an example he took Jacob Riis, of New. York, who, he said, by his work for the poor has seen the kingdom of God. Another way of seeing the kingdom was, he said, to be honest in the college work. He assert ed that the man who refuses to bring into the class, as his own, work done by another, and who was honest in exam nations, even where to be so meant failure, could see the kingdom of God This honesty and doing for others he called the being born again from above. Rev. MT. Peabody also addressed the general religious meeting in Dwight hall after the service.

MAY ESCAPE TRIAL
FOR SECOND MURDER
Ernest MerkeI, Sentenced to Life Im-
prisonment for Staying Wife,
in Peculiar PLIGHT

Ernest l.. C. Merkel, who was SEN
fenced recently to life Imprisonment
for the murder of his young wife, and
who is also charged with the murder
of Mrs. frankie Fox, may yet succeed
in escaping death on the gallows.
At the conclusion of the trial in
which Merkel was found guilty of the
murder of his wife, the attorneys who
prosecuted the case expressed dissatis-
faction with the verdict, and it was
proposed to prosecute the murderer
on the charge which involved the death
of Mrs. Fox, his second victim, but
for some reason no action has been
taken. The prosecuting attorneys are
now awaiting instructions from Dis
trict Attorney Fredericks, who is en-
gagged in taking dispositions in the east.
Until word has been received from
the east, Merkel may take a little COM
fort to himself. as the indications are
that hen will go tos San Quintin for the
remainder of his natural life.

his heirs will prosecute the suit.

be held at the Williams home at 2S42
