+, way of contributing to my suffering,
was the despair of personal disap-
pointment. Apparently, 1 had been
deprived of that one satisfaction
without which nothing else besides
could be satisfying.
"A belief that has not been weak
ened by doubts in the fact of the di-
vine providence, and which has been
inclusive of the unquestioning con-
viction that what the Lord had done
was for the best and permanent in
terest of every one of us concerned,
has given a certain interior peace
and sense of security, even while the
external or natural affections were
being tortured and tempest torn.
Indeed, the suffering has been
tempered and greatly modified by
these counteracting influences from
within. 1t has seemed to me at
times, and / have permitted myself
to believe, that I was sensible of a
work being wrought by the Lord in
my ruling love, causing it to become
little more unselfish than it had
formerly been. Indeed, it is the res
direction of less selfish loves from
more selfish loves in such times as
this that verifies the revelations in

confirms the certainty of the resur-

walked to the Navy Yard.
On the ship the sailor guests soon
assembled and all were seated be-
tween decks on long white benches.
Everything was as white as soapstone
could make it, and except for the
shining guns and the steel walls one
would hardly have believed himself
on board battleship. The enter
tainment was begun by solo sung
by Miss Ada A. Borden, after which
Mr.. Carleton gave his talk and read

At the close all joined in singing
patriotic airs and the ship fairly rang

WATERFOWL, N. Y.-Leon La Sale
is now in custody at Cranberry Lake,
in the Adirondacks, after having tel
ephoned to Nylie Hyland, Sheriff of
st. Lawrence County, that he had
murdered Charley Jonchas, French
Canadian, who worked for him in a
lumber camp on the Grasse River, st.
Lawrence County.
Come to the woods and arrest
me; I have murdered man., was
the message La Sale called over the
telephone to the Sheriff's Office in
Canton, fifty miles away, and he gave
the message after having followed a
wild trail twelve miles from the lum-
Der camp to the nearest telephone
station, at Windfall Settlement, a
clearing few miles from Cranberry
Lake. La Sale committed the MUIR
der shortly after noon, and few
minutes later hit the long trail to the
telephone. Arriving at Windfall he
got into communication with the
Sheriff and the District Attorneys
Office, and telephoned the nearest
constable, Herbert Deane, who lives
at Cranberry Lake Settlement, ask
ing him to come and take him in
charge until the arrivalof the Sheriff.
Following this preliminary prepara-
ton he directed the hotel keeper in
Windfal1 to lock him up. Constable
Deane took La Sale to Cranberry
Lake Settlement late in the after
noon, and he is locked up in the Jail
there awaiting the arrival of Sheriff
Hyland
La Sale had charge of lumber
camp in the Grasse River below Gran
berry Lake. Upward of twenty
French Canadians were working for
him in the camp. Sunday was their
holiday, and some of them went out
to the clearing, got sack filled with
whisky bottles containing whisky,
and the orgy was on. La Sale at
tempted to control it, but was not
successful. Affairs reached a climax
at the dinner table next day, when
Jonchas failed to heed La Salle's
warning and overturned the long
board table, throwing all of its con-
tents of pork, beans, beef and black
bread into heap on the floor Words
ensued. Jonchas is said to have
threatened to strike La Sale, and La
Sale pulled his gun and fired the
shot which killed the Frenchmar.

Winthrop, Mass - Miss Alice c.
Loud, of Roxbury, who was drowned
here three weeks ago, was to have
been married to the Rev. Hiram Vroo-
man, of Providence. Instead of the
wedding invitations that would have
been sent Mr.. Vrooman has gathered
about him his philosophy and issued
something like sermon, his be-
reavement serving as the text.
The essence Of his reflections on
the tragic event is that the young
woman persisted, by divine will, in
order that he might be purified by
fire and proceed further upon the
road to regeneration by being given
perception of his own worldliness.
The statement, or sermon, reads:
