very warnings Of the Tory press that In

repeating again the most disastrous mis-

helped TO convince him that he would have
to seek different allies. Every fresh heresy

At the general election Of 1909 Air Winston
Churchill had heen in Parliament only a

beforehand as many az six times what he

lat has described him as perhaps unequalled

II was not surprising then that his at d.

Manchester was one Of the most piquant
Incidents in the 1908 general election. Adroit
as Mr. Churchill is in escaping from an

the post Of war correspondent for a London
paper At the battle Of Omdurman he rode
unscathed through the famous charge of
his regiment In the account he wrote
afterward Of that exploit he gave a remark
able record Of his personal impressions.
In his account Of this expedition, under
the title Of The River War, Mr., Churchill
showed his Independence by sharply
criticising some OF Lord KitcheneRs ac-
tons, noticeably his description Of the
mahdi's tomb. After such a beginning
it was scarcely likely that he would be
willing TO stay at homo when the Trans
vaal war broke out He went to the front
at the earliest opportunity as correspon-
dent for his paper, the Morning Post He
was unlucky enough to be in an armored
train which was ambushed Hence his
confinement in the Pretoria Jail. A Boer
paper. the FoIksstem, noticed after his
eacapa that he had been reading Mills

due TO Mills inspiration or not, was carried
out in an ingenious yet simple fashion

stories of.Nihilist adventure.
A career such as that now described
is ANYTHING but a normal preparation for
seat in the House Of Commons. A record
of this kind however is not at all against
mans chances when he appeals to a
popular constituency. At the general
election of 1900 Mr. Churchill was returned

WILL RETURN TO EUROPE
DOMINICAN SISTERS OF PERPET-

Will Take Charge Of Convent in
Italy Secured by Benedictiones.
Complain of Climate.

The Dominican Sisters of the Perpetual
Rosary. who were eXiled from France
near Rouen, about five years ago, and
settled at 1rvington, Md, on the Frederick
road, where they purchased beautiful
country place, will soon leave for Italy
where a convent has been secured for
them in the neighborhood of Rome. The
place at Irvington is advertised for sale
but it is said the sisters will not wait
until a sale is effected. but will leave
about the 1st of October Their new
home in Italy is said to have been Sc
cured for them by Abbot Krug head OF
the Order of Benedictine Brothers.
At the convent several days ago Sister
Catherine said the reason for leaving their
home at Irv!ngton was due to the climate
here. She said that the sisters generally
seem not to be able to Withstand it; eX-
planning that it was too cold in winter
and too hot in summer. and that fire.
Quency of rainy and wet weather seemed
to create sickness. Sister Catherine said
that at Rouen. where their convent In
France was situated. the climate was
different; that the extremes of tempera-
ture were not as marked as in Maryland
Asked when the sisters expected to reach
Italy, Sister Catherine smiled and shook
her head, signifying that she was unable
to state.

DISCUSSES CHARITY
MARYLAND DIVINE SAYS IT
"THINKETH NO EVIL"

Charity Thinketh No Evil was the
subject OF a sermon preached last Sunday
by Rev. w. A. Crawford Frost at the
Protestant Episcopal Church of the Re
demption at Locust Point. Baltimore, in
which he strongly denounced the prevail
ing evil Of thinking a person guilty of
wrongdoing until there is a sufficient
proof
1T is commonly supposed that when an
innocent man is accused of wrongdoing
the consciousness of his innocence sup
ports him." said the rector. 1T Is a grea
comfort to him. SO much so that the iii
dignity offered honor and reputation can
not hurt his feelings, because ne is buoyed
up by his consciousness of rectitude.
DO not believe this. l cannot help think
ing that an innocent man accused of a
crime suffers far more keenly from the
imputation than a guilty man does. y
man who has really committed crime
and is arrested for it suffers fear OF pun
ishment but he has d feeling deep down
in his heart that he is getting what he
deserves, and. besides, man who will
commit a crime is generally more care
less OF what people think about him than
is the man whose whole life has been
scrupulous, conscientious. gentle and
harmless. who has always tried to do
right and TO avoid the slightest injury to
his neighbor i'm body or i'm mind When
a man of this kind Is suddenly held up TO
the public as a possible murdered. wher
his every action for weeks has been mis-
represented and utterly gratuitous false
hoods have been invented-when, l say
a man of this character is subjected TO
these acts of persecution. 1t Is nothing
short Of tragic. Injustice is always hard
