Glory EVERYWHERE,

A Methodist minister was much an
noyed by one of his hearers frequently
shouting out during the preaching
"Glory!' praise the Lord!' and the
like. Though often reproved, the hap
py member persisted in expressing
himself.
One day the minister invited him
to tea and, to- take his mind from
thoughts of praise. handed him sci
entific book, full Of dry facts and fig
ures, to pass the time before tea.
Presently the minister was startled
by a sudden outburst Of GLORY!
"Halleluiahw and "Praise the Lordv'
"What is the matter. MANI" asked
the minister.
"Why, this book says the sea is five
miles deep?'
"Well, what Of that?"
"Why the Bible says my sins have
been cast into the depths of the sea
and if it is that deep I need not be
afraid Of their ever coming up again
Glory"
The minister gave up hopes of re-
forming him.

FAIR TRIAL NOT LIKELY.
France Refuses to Surrender Haytian
Refugees.

Paris, Feb. 2 France has decided
not to turn over the Haytian revolu-
tionists who have sought refuge in
the French consulates- in Gonaives
and st. Marc, in Hayti, to the Haytian
authorities, for the reason that it does
not believe that the government of
General Nord Alexis will grant them
a fair trial. Consequently all the
refugees, to the number of about 100,
including General Firmin and other
leaders of the recent unsuccessful
movement, will be escorted to the
coast and embarked on steamships,
provided that they give written prom
ises not to return to Hayti during the
time that the government of General
Nord Alexis is in power. The French
foreign Office points out that in taking
this stand it is only following out the
traditional French policy in Hayti
and it explains that General Nord
Alexis himself, when he was a revolu-
zionist, once sought and obtained from
France the same protection that
France is now giving the men who
sought to usurp his position and
power

A Darinu Escape.

The annals of Sing Sing are full Of
daring escapes. A typical case was
that Of Pallister and Rohlf, two con-
v1cted murderers. By frequent appeals
they had headed off the day Of their
execution, and at length decided on
escape at any cost-even that of life
itself. Late one night Pallister called
for drink of milk, and as the official
on duty opened the cell door to give
it him he was SEIZED dragged in and
overpowered. The desperate then
locked the officer in the cell and, after
securing his keys, released his COM
rade Rohlf, when they in turn over
came and disarmed the second night
Waterman. This done, they offered re-
lease to three more prisoners with
whom they had made friends. These
declined the doubtful benefit, however,
whereupon the two ,nurderers climbed
the skylight, reached the boundary
wall and dropped to liberty by the
broad Hudson, which they crossed in
a small boat.-New York Tribune.

The Masters Title.

Professor Key when head master Of
a large London school was one Of the
most genial gentlemen that ever filed
that position. He was fond Of encour-
aging fun in his boys and was not I'M
willing to recount occasionally during
class time when anything prompted it
the manners and customs Of countries
he had visited. On one occasion he
was telling his class about Spain and
said:
"Do you know, boys, that when a
man attains to eminence there he is
not called SIR but is given the title
Of 'don?'"
One of the boys here called out:
"Then, I suppose, sir, they would
call you Don Key?"
The gravity of the class was COM
pletely upset for the remainder of the
afternoon.-Strand Magazine.

THAW CLOSELY WATCHED
Asylum Officials Studying Condition
Of Noted Inmate.

Albany, n. Y, Feb q DIR. Ferris,
president Of the state commission Of
lunacy, said that Harry K. Thaw, &C.
quilted of the murder of Stanford
White on the ground Of insanity, was
being closely watched by Superintend
ent Lamb of the state hospital for the
insane at Matteawan. DR.. Ferris said
that the procedure in such cases as
Thaw's is to observe the patient for
the first sixty days of his confne
ment and at the end of that period, if
he is regarded by the superintendent
as sane, report to that effect will be
made to the court. If Thaw is be
lieved by the superint after
he has made his examinations and
observations, to be insane it is TN
likely that report will be made to
the court unless required by Thaw's
counsel.
