with it killed Balushin. The bandit
then ran upstairs. where he barricad-

three hours, meanwhile haranguing
from the windows a crowd Of thou
sands of persons, many of whom were

firemen stormed the stairs. One OF
the storming party was killed and
nine wounded before the bandit, who

smith, boasted of membership in the
Baltic revolutionary committee, and
said the robbery of the Russian State
/ bank was committed to swell the revo'

Mrs. Drinkwater. wife Of the genial
colonel, spent some weeks last sum-
mer in northern Maine, at the comfort
able farmhouse Of an honest widow,
Mrs. Brand, who adds to her income
by keeping summer boarders, says a
writer in the Boston Herald.
Recently Mrs. Brand made her nrst
visit to Boston, and while there met
Mrs Drinkwater, who took her to see
Julia Marlowe In Romeo and Juliet"
Mrs. Brand had never before been to
theater Camp meetin'' had been
her widest dissipation.
Mrs. Drinkwater's interest was
equally divided between her compan-
ion and the stage. When they left
the theater Mrs. Brand was silent.
Her usual volubility had quite desert
ed her. Mrs. Drinkwater respected
her silence, and said nothing until
they were well on their homeward
way. At last she ventured to ask:
How did you like 1t. Mrs. Brandt"
Mrs. Brand turned toward her, and
the tears started to her eyes as she
said: ooh. Mrs. Drinkwater, couldn't
help thinkin' how different that play
might have ended If the nuss had been
a different kind of woman, and
pointed Juliet to Jesus"

London Youth Copied Crimes OF Here
Of Stage.

Are modern melodramas harmful to
uneducated minds? Some of the old
time pantomimes in London proved to
be. In the eighteenth century one
of the most popular productions at
the Drury Lane theater Of those days
was pantomime called Harlequin
Jack Sheppard" which was simply a
reproduction of the crimes of this
popular young criminal, who was only
20 when he was hanged. His chief
appeal to the popular imagination was
his brilliant escape from Newgate
prison with the letters on his hands,
and when he was made the subject OF
a Christmas entertainment hundreds
fiocked to see it. 1t was even proved
that numbers of boy pickpockets who
filed the prisons about that time had
got their first inspiration to thieve
from this melodramatic entertainment,
aid one boy confessed that he stole
in order to get to the pantomime and
hoped some day to be as clever as
Jack Sheppard.

so years of age, and carpenter by
trade, was shot and instantly killed
by his son, Francis H. Checketts. boy
about IS years of age, at the Checketts
home in this city, early Wednesday
morning.
Crazed with debauch on alcohol,
Checketts was strangling his wife to
death when the boy seized 3S cali
bre revolver and shot his father in
the temple. killing him instantly.
The circumstances leading up to
the killing of Joseph Checketts indi-
cate that the boy was engaged in an
heroic defense of his mother Public
opinion is that the killing was entire
ly justified, horrible as 1t and its re-
suits may be. On Tuesday night
Checketts went home in a stupor of
alcohol and began to abuse his wife, a
regular practice for years, according
to the statements of neighbors. In
his frenzy he grabbed butcher knife
and stabbed his wife in the side of the
head, infiicting dangerous wound.
HIS children were terrorized, but final
/ ly retired, except the two elder girls,
who stayed up to watch and protect
their mother.
Checketts was provided with plenty
of alcohol and sat up and imbibed it.
The fiend again got good start and
shortly after 3 O'Clock Wednesday
morning he again began a vicious as
sault on his wife. His son, Francis
H. Checketts, who is wiper in the
Southern Pacific roundhouse, had
come home.
Checketts, man weighing 18l
pounds, fastened his hands on the
throat of his frail little wife, threw
her across the bed and was strang
ling her slowly to death. The boy ap
peared with a revolver and, 1t is re
lated, gave his father one warning.

dispatch follows:
Provincial elections satisfactory.
Not a single instance of disorder, al

elect in numerous instances. Have
