MURDER
Body of the Victim was
Placed Upon a Railroad
Track.

Washington c. H.. June 1.-THE
mangled body of Charles Robinson,
'aged 29, of this city was brought here
today from Chillicothe. The body
was found on the c., II. & d. rail-
road track near that city by a
tramp, who happened to be passing at
midnight.
Robinson's throat evidently was
'cut with a knife or razor and his
skull crushed as If with a club. His
brother, William Robinson of this
city, who accompanied the remains
here, as well as the trainmen, is of
the opinion that Robinson was mur-
dered and his body placed on the
track. Robinson had In his pocket
a short time before he was killed
$50 and when discovered only 81. 90
was found.
In cornfeld near where the body
was found are hour pools of blood,
and the trampled condition of the
grund indicates that terrific strug-
gle took place.

OF the hospital authorities that the

before. Friends of Knapp were un-

The Elks' dancing club gave the
fifth and final informal dance of the
season at Marion park pavilion last
evening. The occasion proved one
of the most delightful in the long list
of social festivities enjoyed by the
Blks this season.
The Ellks and their ladies assem-
bled at the park at o'clock and en-
joyed what was known as a moon
light picnic. After engaging in var
ious outdoor amusements until dark
ness spread over the grove, the party
assembled at the pavilion where
FIVE piece orchestra under the drec-
ton of Harvey Martin, rendered an
excellent program or dance music.
The dance music was enjoyed by
about thirty-seven couples, the pa
vilion being occupied almost to It's
|olpacity. The party returned to the
city on a special II o'clock interur-
ban car.
The success of the affair was due
largely to the efforts of the dance
vconlmittee, which is composed OF
Messrs Albert Howe, Charles w.
Mason and Frank v. Stoll.
The members OF the Empire club
laid the busy cares of city life aside
Tuesday afternoon and hied them
selves to the country, where they
were the guests of Mrs. Fred Vorhies
|of two miles south OF the city. The
afternoon hours were spent pleasantly
Iat croquet, tennis and various other
outdoor amusements An elegant
lunchen, served by the hostess at
O'Clock was a notable feature. The
party turned to Marion on the six
O'Clock interurban car.
The clubs guests upon the occasion
were Miss Dorne, OF Gallon, and Miss
Josephine Johnson, bf Marion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Smith, who
were recently married, were given a

Wear Yonr Troubles Inside.

Many a man gets into the habit OF
carrying his troubles in his face. The
eyes tell it, the droop of the lip
speaks it, the bowed head declares it,
the very grip of the hand reveals it,
and the football is full of it. He has
run up the flag at half-mast, and he
carries it everywhere, so that his
whole little world is compelled to
know his sorrow.
Is this natural?. Possibly. Is it
wise? Probably not. Is it fair2
Surely not. Is it a sign of weakness?
Undoubtedly it is.
Is there a better way? Surely
there is. First, a man must make
up his mind to expect his share of
trouble, and perhaps a little more.
Then he should make up his mind to
bear his trouble manfully, i. E., with
patience, with courage and with hope.
The world has enough trouble of its
own; let us not add to its burdenl 1t
should be the aim of every Christian
man and uni to become strong,
and when strength is Won to S that
strength in bearing the burdens of
others. Every sorrow mastered, ey-
cry burden borne inside instead of
outside, makes us stronger, and leaves
the world brighter.
Learn to smile, get the habit of it;
learn to sing, make it salso a habit;
and you will be surprised how much
brighter it makes the world, not only
to others, but to yourself. The smile
and the song lesson the burden and
light the way.zChristian Guardian.

Only a Broken Knife-Point.

Once a ship was wrecked on the
Irish coast. The captain was a care
full one. Nor had the weather been
of so severe a kind as to explain the
wide distance TO which the vessel had
sweryed from her proper course The
ship went down, but so much of in
terest attached to the disaster that a
diving-bell was sunk. Among other
portions of the vessel which were ex-
amined was the compass, which was
swung on deck; and inside the COM
pass box was detected a bit of steel.
which appeared to be the small point
of a pocket knife blade.
1t appeared that the day before the
wreck a sailor had been sent to clean
the compass, had used his knife in
the process, and had unconsciously
broken off the point, and left it re-
naming in the box. That bit of
knife-blade exerted its influence on
the compass, and to a degree which
DETECTED the needle from its proper
bent, and vitiated it as an index of
the ships direction. That bit OF
knife-blade wrecked the vessel.
Even one trifing sin, as small as a
broken knife-point, as it were, is able
to rob a soul of peace and happiness.

Life Not a Holiday.

Sooner or later we find out that
life is not a holiday, but a discipline.
Earlier or later we will discover that
the world is not a playground. 1t is
quite clear that God means it for a
school. The moment we forget that,
the puzzle of life begins. We try to
play in school. The Master does not
mind that so much for its own sake.
for He likes to see His children
happy; but in our playing We neglect
our lessons. We do not see how
much there is to learn, and We do not
care.
But our Master cares. He has a
perfectly overwhelming and inexpli-
cable solicitude for our education;
and because He loves US He comes
into the school sometimes and speaks
to us. He may speak very softly and
gently or very loudly.
But one thing we may be sure of:
The task He sets US to is never meas
ured by our delinquency. 1t Is "a
ured by Gods solicitude for our pro-
gress; measured solely by Gods love;
measured solely that the scholar may
be better educated when he arrives at
his Fathers home.-Henry Drum

Fire. Death and Panic.

John Mahoney, a silk worker, was
burned to death in a tenement house
at No. IL Passaic street, Plainfield,
and a score of Italian women and
children were rescued by firemen.
Mahoney, a mysterious character, &C.
cupied rooms In the basement for two
months. He was alone when he re-
tired, and it is presumed that the fire
was caused by the s~mouldering ashes
of a pipe or cigar. The building was
afame when the alarm was given.
The firemen found a struggling mass
of panic stricken women and children
in the tenement. All were taken out
uninjured. When Fireman Harrison
entered the basement rooms he found
the charred body of Mahoney on the
ruins of the bed.
