A Biographical Sketch OF
II. NJ. Sharp.

Horace Mann Sharp, the son of
Robert Milford and Sarah A.
Sharp, and grandson of the late
Rev. C. M. Sharp, was born Sep
tember 26, 1867, near North
Star, Darke county, Ohio. His
parents moved from there to
Sharpeye, Ohio, where he lived
until 1870. The parents then
moved to Benton county, Mo.
where he received common
school education, after which he
attended an academy for a year.
In 1884 he went with his pa
rents to Gainesville, Texas, and
after being there a short time he
spent four or five years in Kan
sas and Colorado. He then came
back to Gainesville, Texas, where
he read law and was admitted to
the bar. He plead law for about
two years, during which time he
studied the Spanish language.
Becoming a member of the Cum
berland Presbyterian church, he
studied Theology-about two
years-and became an active
church worker, was very enthu-
siastic in the Christian Endeavor
and Sunday school work. While
quite young he developed, in a
great degree, conversational
powers of the first order. Wher-
ever he was his company was al
ways sought, on account of his
agreeable manner and the pleas
ant talks he would have with
them.
He was married October 20,
1898, to Miss Clara Hughes, a
highly educated lady of Gaines
vile, Texas. She was a graduate
of the School of Music in Chica-
go, where she taught for some
time. This union proved to be a
happy one; to them were born
two children; the first, a son, dy-
ing in infancy.
Immediately after his marriage
he was sent to Agnes Calientes,
Mexico, as a missionary, where
he labored for five years. After
completing his work as mission
ary he superintended the con-
struction of three hundred miles
of railroad, after which he was
employed as cashier in a bank
for two years, and after that he
entered the real estate business
at Tampico, Mexico, which he
followed until his death. His
wife and daughter Adelaide ther
removed to Los Angeles, Cal

FizZled Insanity.
BY LEO.

so on ad intinitum, and all IN
vented to defeat justice to Grim
inals. DR.. Clark in Virginia, the
alienist, who testified in behalf
of the two brothers, who shot
and killed their sisters husband
because he was trying to run a.
way from his bride, swore that
in his opinion the two brothers
were impulsively insane, and un-
der the stress of that impulse to
kill they shot their brother-in-
law; and the jury acquitted them
on the ground of "impulsive in
sanity" Strange, is it not? Well,
now, if an impulse to kill, a great
stress to do murder is justifica-
ton of the murderous deed, very
few murderers can ever be pun
ished. For the impulse is most
always present.
In the Thaw case the plea is
temporary insanity; but in view
of the late testimony of Smith
and others the name must be
changed to fizzled insanity. The
thing flashed, fiared and fizzled
under scrutiny, so really there
was no reality to it. 1t was all
the invention of lawyers and al
ienists to save the degenerate
life of a wealthy man.
Within half an hour of the kill
ing Thaw held a long converse
tion with Smith, in which he dis
cussed various subjects, such as
Wall Street speculation, the play
on hand, and other matters; and
all ina perfectly calm and ra-
tional mood. There was no symp-
tom of storm in Thaw's brain
that evening. He appeared to
have no stress to kill any one.
And yet in a short time he step
ped up to his victim, took good
aim, and fired, killing his man
instantly. Surely, this was a
premeditated, deliberate murder.
Mr.. Jerome put five alienists
on the stand, and each testified
under oath that Thaw knew well
what he was doing and that he
was doing a wrong. One of the
alienists testified that the brain
storm Of DR.. Evans was not
known in science. Of course not,
the alienist Evans was not using
terms scientific but practical.
There was more poetry than truth
in his very picturesque testimony.
There it is, three experts are
of the opinion that Thaw was
temporarily insane at the time OF
the killing and did not know
what he was about, nor that kill
ing White was wrong; and five
alienists give it as their opinion
that Thaw was sane, knowing
well what he was doing at the
time.
The readers of the trial reports
will generally agree with the five
alienists, for everything goes to
show that Thaw was in his right
mind at the time. We therefore
call his insanity fizzled. There
is no foundation for the plea.
It is almost certain now that
the pathetic story of Mrs. Eve
lyn Thaw was fabricated to serve
a purpose. It is in evidence that
she was forcedeto tell the story
by her degenerate husband after
making a written affidavit that
there was no truth in it.
Here is a pretty mess! What
will the jury do? Perhaps SEN
timent in favor of a handsome
young woman will cloud theil
better Judgment, and move then

lie. Near Cne close OF his life
some of us had the privilege of
partaking, with him, of a spirit
ual blessing. We know beyond
a doubt of his longing for a rich
er, fuller life in Christ. We all
know that the Strength of wish
es transforms the very substance
of our existence and moulds it to
the form of our hearts inmost
desire and hope". We have the
highest authority for saying,
HE that hath this hope in him
purifeth himself" This deep
desire of his was certainly not
in vain. God, the hearer of pray
er, answered his prayer. A SER
les of cottage prayer meetings
had been started a few weeks
previous to Mr.. Sharp's death
by Mr.. Wolford. This man
claimed nothing in himself, but
he surely was Gods messenger
and a faithful deliverer of His
message. Through this means
we were all led to more serious
thoughts of right and holy liv-
ing. Mr.. Sharp himself was very
much interested. He said to us,
Il took the old man out to see
some land, but we didn't look at
land. We sat on a log and he
talked to me all the time about
the riches and joy of a fuller life
in Christ" After Mr.. Wolford
left we looked to Mr.. Sharp as
the leader of the prayer meeting.
This was a hard step for him to
take, but once made he seemed
happier for it. His humility and
sincerity, as well as the Script
ure lesson he gave on Tuesday
night of last week, made a great
impression on all present. He
made clear that this is the age
of the Holy SpirfS and it is our
duty and privilege to get all out
of it that there is to get. Gods
promise is to give it now to all
who ask it. A personal, heartfelt
message from God to our fellow
man, and not something read
from book and told in a cold
way is the lesson he left us. Our
friend would wish that this work
be carried forward, he would
wish no greater honor or memoir
ial than this. May this be done
and each one of us be so pre-
pared that when the Son of Man
cometh He will find us also ready
and watching. Watch there
fore, for We know not what hour
your Lord doth come. Therefore
be We also ready, for in such an
hour as We think not, the Son of
Man cometh." AS some one said,
Mr.. Sharp seemed to be looking
through glass to the end. He
was not satisfied. Surely his is
the blessing of those who ''hun-
ger and thirst" ''They shall be
filled" "'I shall be satisfied when
l awake with Thy likeness. D
Psalm 17:15. Satisfied! Salts
fed!! We are fully persuaded
1T is well" with him. We shall
miss him in our prayer meeting,
the loved ones will miss him in
the home, but we will all catch
the message, "Bey We also ready. "
Il will come again." We extend
our loving and tender sympathies
to his bereaved widow and little
daughter. We sorrow with them
because of his absence from us,
but we rejoice that this sorrow
is not without hope" f" for he is
now enjoying the King, in His
full beauty and holiness. The
| funeral services were conducted
at the home by Mr.. Beutelspac-
her. These services were opened
by singing "Jesus lover of my
SOUL" This was followed by
prayer and the reading of the
S9th Psalm and 1st Corinthians
15:4O-58. Appropriate remarks
