many centuries.
Having the collins made, Mr.. Breuer
arranged with the undertaken for the
embalmlng and every detail of the
burial. even to the depositlng of the
deed for the burial lot, letting the con.
tract for the digging of the graves and
the building of n massive monument
which is now being hewn out of gram

for all this fully made, but the bill was
demanded and paid in full. Mr.. Breuer
took the receipts and locked them up
In a safety deposit box.
For several months the caskets were
allowed to remain IN the care OF the
undertaken. But some weeks ago Mr.
Breuer conceived the idea that 1t
would be better to have them at his
residence, and so he had them taken
to his palatial home in Clifton. Here

Murder on the High Seas.
Cabin Boy Tells Of Pirate Scheme That Cost the Lives Of American
SaHors-Mystery Of Wreck Found Off Gilbert Island
Cleared Up by His Confession.

On the gllstenlng coral of Apamana
lagoon, In the Gilbert islands, Cap
tain Malcolm and the engineer Of the
Sydney trading schooner Laurel found
the wreck of fine American built
schooner. Like that strange wreck
which the adventurers of Robert Louis
Stevenson's "Wreckers" found on the
beach of south sea island, this wreck
was a mysterious one. When the trad
ers solved 1t they learned a tale that
savored more of the eighteenth than
the twentieth century. From two men,
one of whom gave his name as j. Tay-
lor and said he hailed from Manches-
ter. England, and the other who gave
bis name as G.. Jackson and said Lon
don, England, was his home, the trad
ers learned that Joseph Mortimer, a
Belgian, forty years of age, had forced
the captain and mate Of the vessel
overheard and they had stolen the
schooner. They were afterward ar
rested for piracy and murder and taken
to Suva, FIJI Islands, for trial.
The X. NJ s. Mariana, now at Sgd
ney, N. s. W., brought the remark
able story Of the pirating of this
schooner from Callao Peru, and the
murder of the captain and mate, who
were forced overheard after a desper-
ate struggle for life when attacked
with a tomahawk.

ing schooner Laurel, sighted the

ing the death cry that followed the
fatal shot.
William E. Barber, nephew Of Tay-
lor, who lived with his uncle, was in
an adjoining room in the Ii street
house. He rushed into the hall after
the first shot Taylor heard him COM
ing, and before he could say word he
was commanded to return to the room.
Taylor told his nephew that If he en-
tered the room he would be shot.
After the sixth shot had been fred
Barber rushed into the room and found
his uncle lying on the floor, bullet
hole in his brain.
The mans deed is thought to have
resulted from jealousy. He had been

minor quarrels, none was of serious
nature.

man. His companion, Joseph Morti-
mer, who was about forty years of age,
was Belgian and was employed as
cook on the schooner Neuvre Tigre,
which left Callao with a cargo of coke
for one of the coastal ports. There
was crew of four all told including
the captain, mate, Mortimer and him
self, who was engaged as cabin boy.
Mortimer had previously planned to
pirate the schooner, for they had not
been at sea many hours before he made
a bloodthirsty attack on the mate.
The mate was attending TO some por-
tion of the rigging when the cook, who
had secured tomahawk, crept up be-
hind him and aimed blow at his
head. At that instant the mate moved,
and instead of killing him. as was in
tended, the blade struck his arm, caus.
ing severe wound. The mate then
grappled with his assailant and at
tempted TO wrench the tomahawk from
his grasp. Mortimer. however, was u
powerful man, and the mate was Sc.
verely handicapped with his injured
arm. After a desperate struggle last
ing some minutes, he found he was un-
able to overpower his antagonist and
made dash for the rigging. Morti-
mer was taken aback by this move,
and the fugitive reached the rigging
before he was aware of his intention.
Mortimer again rushed at him and

nothing for him to do except to have
his wife draw the cart. She waits pa

enters the houses on his route In search
Of old metals. bottles and old clothing.
Many women appealed TO the police to
stop the unusual spectacle, but the po-
lice said that as long as Mrs. Mulcaski
was willing to substitute for horse

HOTBEDS OF INFIDELITY.

There is not enough religion in the colleges and
universities Of the country to satisfy some OF the
representatives Of orthodoxy, and complaint is now
being made that many of them omit religious nstruc
ton from their constantly expanding curriculum.
But why do young and young women attend a
college university? What is the primary object?
is it to acquire a broader and higher education? Or
do they expect to imbibe the fairy tales Of fctOna
theology and emerge from these institutions vertabe
paragons in orthodox beliefs! If the latter const
tuted the sole or prompting, motive, then might every
educational institution in the country be wiped out OF
existence in the interest Of the common good
Prof. G.. b. Clark, of the chair Of philosophy and
education at the Alfred University, Illinois, makes
bitter protest through the columns Of Unity, reg
GUS organ Of this lack Of religious consideration in
that institution. He insists that the nation has gone
faster in freedom than it has in moral adjustment, and
such an admission brands his orthodox views
being most dismal failure, considering the influence
they are yet supposed to exercise upon all matters
affecting public policy 1t may be true that in the
old regime when orthodoxy held unquestiOned sway,

in the fullest Of the term. TO merely convert
man does not mean to educate him. Most converts
grow into groveling fanatics Realizing this the par
ents Of students enter decided objections against any
sort OF religious environment that tends to cripple
the opportunities Of their sons and daughters in OBJ
tanning that education.
The complaint made leads one to infer that Ameri-
can colleges exhibit delinquency in both moral and
religious tendencies. This inference is derived only
by confounding religion with morality. Accepting
morality in its highest and religion as commonly
understood and accepted in these days, and they are
both entirely separate and distinct Morality defined
being the highest possible happiness to the highest
possible numbers, and religion being merely formal
matter of faith, there be nothing in common be-
tween them, and the complainant thus gets switched
off to the wrong track to occupy any place of import
in discussion Of this character
Among other things coming from him we quote the
following utterance
owe read that one university president said that
he would not dare to call his three thousand students
together for compulsory religious exercises Of the
most general character since he feared the effect Of
such a upon the legislature and his appropra-
tiOns.'
The Of the institution the president

that boast three thousand students and the
fact that this president dare not insist upon compul
sorry religious services because he dreaded the action
Of the Legislature, is potent sign of the times and
furnishes strong proofs of the drift of the public
mind concerning any sort Of religious exercises being
given by educational institutions of public charac-
ter. State legislatures elected by the people, and
are looked upon representing the ma Ority Under
political system legislative assemblies just
what the people make them. Sometimes they go
astray, but rule they expressive Of the will OF
the majority. Admitting the truth of the statement
quoted above it only be accepted being ndica-
tive Of the will of the people in the state where that
university is located and will it not be foolish
dertaking for Prof Clark to either make complaint
attempt to bring about change.
