late Of this parish.
who departed this life
April 4, 1906.
Aged 81 years.
Praises on tombs are tribes vainly

A mans good name is his best monu-
ment.

There are three churches in London dedi-
Gated to st. Botolph. In one OF the others
may be seen, in a glass case, the embalmed
head Of the Duke of Suffolk, which he lost
because of his zeal in supporting the claims
of his daughter, Lady Jane Gray to the
throne of England. If you will give the
sexton shilling he will tip up the case SO
that you can see scar left by the first
stroke Of the ak, which did not sever the
head from the body.

The Motor Eve.
From the London Graphic.

From The London Graphic
The motor eye is the latest development
that the medical profession has to deal
with. 1t appears that those who are con-
tinually rushing through the country on
motor car cause the eye to take a too
rapid impression of the things 1t encoun-
tiers and that this affects the mechanism
or the eye. Nature did not prepare US for
the conditions of modern times, and while
1t Is adapting itself to them many unfore-
seen circumstances must occur.

After Him and Fears Re-
turn to ASYLUM,

Detroit, Mich.-Afraid of their lives,
fearful of leaving their homes, the
children in the vicinity of Mt. Elliott
and Monroe avenues have not played
in the streets for several nights
Older persons, too, remain on front
porches and do not wander far from
the open doorway, through which they
may flee at moments notice.
John King, a man with wrecked
mind, is the cause of the commotion
that exists in that vicinity, and al
though hunted by officers, he has elud-
ed them and complete reign of ter
ror exists around that corner of Mt.
Elliott cemetery.
King is a powerful young fellow
of about 25 years. After his mind
gave way he was taken to the Dear
born, retreat, but about a month ago
returned to his home in this city.
For several weeks there was no in
dication of anything wrong with the
young man. But, suddenly, he began
to develop fondness for the solitude
of the cemetery, especially at night,
and forsaking his bed at home, he
climbed the big trees among the head
stones and slept on the limbs after
the primitive fashion.
King had the idea that the GENE
terry contained great lake and that
on it's shores was the ideal camping
place. And at night, to avoid the
heat, he would steal away to his tree
bed.
Neighbors who knew of the occur
renee notified the police at the Elm
wood station. Several men were de-
tailed to effect the capture of the
young man, and nightly they have
patroled the vicinity, three or four of
them frequently being seen in that
portion where the demented man was
supposed to be.
Often King would leave the seclu-
sion of his haunts in the cemetery and
walk with quick, jerky stride along
the walks adjacent to the cemetery
One night, when an officer accosted
him, King it is said. wheeled and
struck the officer a violent blow, fell
ing him to the ground, and, turning,
ran north.
The demented man is also alleged
to have grabbed young man by the

FINEST RaEAKWATER IN WORLD.
English Harbor Formed by Mile of
Walls Costing 100000.

The harbor of Plymouth, England, is
protected by what is claimed to be
the greatest breakwater in the world.
The main part is 5000 feet long, with
two arms at angles extending 1000
feet, thus making it nearly a mile on
it's entire length. 1t stretches across
the entrance to the bay, two and a
half miles from the city, and receives
the force OF the gales that frequently
come up from the southwest.
In the center is a fortress of iron
and masonry, and at either extremity
a lighthouse IS feet high.
Nearly four and half million tons
of stone were thrown into the sea as
foundation for this breakwater dur
ing the Al years that it was building
from 1912 to 1852, and it cost $1,000

Emptied Numerous Graves.

The poorhouse graveyard was their
favorite hunting ground, and at the
inquest over the body of Kendall an
officer testified that he did not believe
there were dozen graves in the
cemetery containing bodies. But these
ghouls even visited neighboring vii
lagos and the aristocratic burying
ground at lakewood. So bold did they
become, and so powerless were the
police to check them, that many citi-
zens buried relatives and friends in
distant cities.
Kendall was suspected, but he
adopted hundred ruses to throw the
sleuths off his track. Time and time
again he was almost captured in the
act, but always made good his escape.
Cemeteries were guarded and patrols
placed about tombs, but still the med
ical school was supplied, and Kendall
remained at large.
His end was as tragic and mysteri-
GUS as his life had been. On May s,
1882, Thomas Powell, an attendant at
the county courthouse, looked from
one of the windows and saw through
the morning mist the body of man
lying in an adjacent field. There was
bullet hole between his eyes, aut he
was still conscious. He gave his
name, but refused to divulge the name
of the man who had done the deed.
He died few hours later, with his
lips still sealed.
Near him lay piece of carpet, two
shovels and satchel containing a
cant-hook, a rope, dark lantern, a
bit and stalk, screwdriver and a
burglars jimmy. Whether he was
shot in quarrel with a pal or by a
member of the vigilance committee
which had been organized against the
ghouls, no one knows. With his death,

schools a legal means of securing ca

Skilled in Use of Weapons.

walls were hung with foils and reg

His skill with the revolver was
noteworthy. AS an illustration OF
this, an acquaintance of his said:
