'He turned up and explained that
he bad been frightened on finding the
woman dead. But the police found
him on his craft at Southampton, and
he gave evidence. He said that Krill
when drunk and like Il demon, as Mrs.
Krill told you, had left the room sew
eral times. The last time he came
back, he and the skipper had a final
drink, and then Jessop retired to find
the body. 1t was supposed by the
police that Kriil had killed Lady Ra-

could not be discovered

had committed suicide. Mrs. Krill, as
l said, declared the deceased lady new

with herself. However, Krill'S flight
and the chance that, being drunk, he
might have strangled the lady for the
sake of the brooch while out of the
room, made many think he was the
culprit, especially as Jessop said that
Krill had noticed the brooch and COM

'He was a traveller in jewels once,

Afterward he vanished, as l say, and
became pawnbroker in Gwynne
street. Well, the jury at the inquest
could not agree. Some thought Lady
Rachel had committed suicide and
others that Krill had murdered her.
Then the family didn't want a scandal,

was hushed up. The jury brought in

Emergencies Produce Great Men.
Every man is stranger to his
greatest strength, his mightiest pow
err. until the test of great respon-
slbility, critical emergency or SUI
preme crisis in his life calls 1t out.
Work on a farm, hauling wood,
working in a tannery, storekeeping,
West Point, the Mexican war, doing
odd jobs about town, were not
enough to arouse the sleeping giant
I'm General Grant. There was no
probability that he would ever have
been heard from outside of his own
little community but for the emer"
gency of the civil war.
There was tremendous dynamic
force In the man, but It required the
conclusion of the great civil war to
ignite It. No ordinary occasion
touched his slumbering power, no Or
binary experience could ignite the
dynamic power in this giant. Under
common circumstances he would have
gone through life a stranger to his
own ability, just as most of the great
dynamite shells now in existence
will probably never be exploded be-
cause of the lack OF q war emergency
great enough to explode them.
Farming, wood-chopping, rail-split'
ding, surveying, storekeeping, the
state legislature, the practice of law
not even the United States congress,
furnished occasions great enough
resistance strong enough to ignite
the spark OF power, to explode
the dynamite force in Abraham Lin
coin. only the responsibility OF
nation in imminent peril furnished
sufficient concussion to ignite the
giant powder in perhaps the greatest
man that ever trod the American con
tinent.
There Is no probability that Lin
coin would have gone down In histor!
as a very great man but for the crisis
of the civil war. The nations perl
was the responsibility thrust upov
him which brought out the las
ounce OF his reserves, his latent pow
er OF achievement, the resources
which he never would have dreamed
he possessed but for this emergency

English aud American Lies Compared
Rev Or. Aked. pastor of the Fifth

treatment by the yellow press both
in America and England, He says
the yellow press of England is worse
than that of America. and adds;
"The lies in America are gross,
astounding and incredible, with a
touch of perverted humor. They are
only intended to be interesting. The
English lies are mean, sneaking and
yenomous. I am already enough OF
an American to feel a deeper con-
tempt for the lying of the British
press than that of New York.

 What a fall from grace Hartford is having for sure. To be shut out andsby New Haven must be an awful jar to the exalted ideas of city which once believed she was big enough for the National league.
 It is not often a batter that takes another's place makes good, but Bill Luby was the boy with the wallop yesterday in the Springfield-Holyoke game. His rap in the eighth tied up the score, although it was lost later.
 Lucia is earning his salary pretty we'll out on that first base coach line. He is never idle but there are many who would like to see him get into the game and given the German boy a breathing spell.
 It is doubtful if Altizer, the formS CT Pony star, will finish the season with the Washington Americans, and if he does he may not return there next season. Altizer has been re- peatedly roasted in the newspapers until it is reported that he has soured on the club and the city, and doesn't care how he plays now. ,

 A game worth seeing was yester- days.
 Bastian seemed lost out in right, but he was the king with the stick.
 If Bridges would tend more to his work and not try to talk back to the fans he would be as valuable a man as Norwich has.
 If Halligan was told by Sofiel in that ninth inning to let Lachance walk free. he made big mistake in not obeying the instructions of his chieftain.
 The tree that Manager Clarkin had in mind when the pennant bee got buzzing is still growing on the mountain side. No branches will be Topped of this season for no pole will be needed.
 Manager Clarkin made $250 one day last week. He had promised his men sI50 if they took two games from Holyoke and they won neither, and when he shook hands with Um- pIre Kelly he shook of a fine of sI00. There are people who would shake hands all day at $100 a shake. Poor politicians have to shake hands for one vote and they don't always get the vote.-Hartford Courant
 George Lachanee was nipped at first yesterday and so was Frank Fitzpatrick. The big fellow kicked on the decision but he was nailed all right and Umpire Kennedy was just in his decision.
 Snappy double plays were the order of the day on both sides of the house. and some strangers who were in the grand stand remarked that the game was just as fast as any played on any field in the country.
 We tackle Norwich for a double header to-day in Norwich. to-mor- row we go to the Whalers' town, Friday we tackle Springfield at home and Saturday we try another double header with New London. Make your bets.
 That catch of Svander's fin the left garden yesterday vas one of the best of the many good ones that this ball player has made. He modestly re- trained from coming In to take the applause of the fans but they gave 1t to him just the same when he came In the next inning.
