QUARTER
CENTURY
After Is Years Bones
Of Some Unknown
Victim are Found

CHICAGO. May 23.--what may have
been murder committed n quarter OF
a century ago, was revealed yesterday
by finding number OF disjointed
bones OF a human sksleton buried two
feet under ground In the basement Of
an old rickety frame tenement house
in North Curtis street. Tho bones
were discovered by workmen engaged
In reducing the house. Although dill.
gent search was made no trace Of
skull was found. At first some OF
the neighbors advanced the theory
that the bones were those of victim
of Mrs. Belle Guinness, the La Porte
murderess, who formerly lived within
three blocks OF the house under which
the bones were found. This Is ex-
uemely improbable, however, as the
bones have the appearance OF having
been buried any where from twenty
five to thirty years. according to ply
sicians who examined them.

BEECHER'S APPLE
TREE PANEGYRIC

One day Henry Ward Beecher stroll

love with blossoming apple tree 1t
was just about this time OF year, says
the New York Press. In the pulpit
the following morning he said:
"An apple tree in full bloom Is like
a message sent from earth to heaven
of purity and beauty We walk around
It reverently and admirlngly. Home
ly as 1t ordinarily is, yet now It speaks
of the munificence of God better than
any other tree. The oak proclaims
strength and rugged simplicity The
pine is a solitary stately fellow. Even
in forests each tree seems alone, and
has a sad, Castilian-like pride. The
elm is prince: grace and glory are on
It's head But none OF these speaks
such thoughts OF abundance. such
prodigal and munificent richness. such
lavish, unsparing generosity. as this
same plain and homely apple tree.
The very glory of God seems resting
upon II! 1t is Il little inverted bemi-
sphere, like that above II; and 1t daily
mimlcs with bud and bloom the stars
that nightly blossom out in the dark
ness above II. Though its hour of
glory Is short, into it is concentrated a
magniicenee which puts all the more
stately trees into the background If
men Will not admire. insects and birds
