When mortified and embarrassed by
humiliating disaster, to seek in the
wreck or ruin the elements Of future
conquest
To throw up good position with Q
good salary when ii is the only bust
ness you know and you have family
depending upon you, because it does
not have your unqualified approval
To refuse to buckle and bend the
knee to the wealthy, even though
poor.
To refuse to make living in oues-
tionable vocation.
To refuse to do thing which yot
think is wrong, because it is customary
and done in trade.
To be talked about and yet remain
silent when word would justify you
in the eyes of others, but you cannot
speak without injury to another
To face SANDER and lies and to car
ry yourself with cheerfulness. grace
and dignity for years before the lie car
be corrected.
To stand erect while Others are bow
ing and iawning for praise and power
to remain in honest poverty while
Others grow rich by questionable meth

and poverty, while others about yor
prosper through neglectine or violat-
ing sacred obligations.

judice.

SIX BESIDES LING IMPLICATED IN
 SIGEL GIRL MURDER
Special from United Press.)


 New York, June 3O.-That six China men besides Leon Ling were impli- cated in the murder of Elsie Sigel is the latest theory of the police who are shadowing two of the new suspects and may place them under arrest shortly.
 The police believe that four China men had an actual hand in the killing of the girl. A fifth, Chung Sin, ad- mits that he looked through the door and saw the murder while two others were certain accessories in that they had a guilty knowledge of the grue- some contents of Leon Lings trunk. Until the discoveries which led the police to adopt this theory the authOri- ties were sure that Elsie Sigel was killed by a jealous Chinaman, Leon Ling, because she preferred his rival, Gnu Gain. Now, however; that they believe seven men were implicated in the crime. they are looking for a deep CT motive than jealousy. It seems that the girl. through her associations with Leon Ling and Gnu Gain and other Chinamen while ostensibly performing missionary work in Chinatown, may have given the girl too much knowl- edge of the inner workings and the secrets of the Chinese secret society of which the Chinamen were members.
 The police refuse to reveal the source of thir information that the missionary was the victim of a gang but they de- clare they expect many important dis coveries and arrests soon.
 The police have found out that after the murder which they are sure was committed in the Eighth avenue house, the trunk which contained the body was taken to West T25th street where Yung Wah runs a laundry. Yung Wah is cousin of LeonS most intimate friend. In the cellar of Yung Wah's laundry where the body was first car ried, the police found that the boards in the floor had been torn up and an effort had been made to dig a grave. There is only a few inches of dirt how ever as the house is rocky foun- dation and the efforts to dig a grave sufficiently deep to cover the trunk proved fruitless. Then Yung Wah was given sufficient money to have a new floor laid in the cellar. Immediately after this Wah closed his laundry and disappeared.
 Finding that he could not dispose of the body in the 126th street place Leon had the trunk taken to Newark where he tried to- leave it. Unsuccessful there too. he brought it back to his rooms in Eighth avenue and left it there while he fled It is also believed that the telegram sent from Washington signed with the initials of the dead girl and telling her family she. was there and not to worry, was composed in Yung Wah's laundry and sent to Washington by a Chinaman who had it wired to the Sigel family. The po- lice found in the latter's laundry a rough draft Of the Don't Worry telegram with Elsie SigePs full name and address.
 The two Yung cousins were members of the same secret society as Leon his crime and escape, the police de clare.

WHY MGR. TAAFFE
 HAS FULL BEARD

New York, June 3O.-The congrega- ton of St. Patricks Church at Will oughby and Kent avenues. Brooklyn, numbering 12,000 adults and children are sorry that the Very Rev. Mgr, Thomas Ignatius Taaffe, rector of St. Patrick's and a member of Bishop Mc- Donnelrs board of consultors, has been so ill that he is going away, probably to Ireland.
 Of recent years, until this illness, Mgr Taaffe has been hale and hearty but years ago when travelling in Egypt he experienced trouble with his throat and on the advice of a physician he left Egypt for Rome to consult a spe- cial1St. The Rome specialist treated the Monsignor and commanded that the Brooklyn prelate should grow a beard. Mgr. Taaffe demurred, saying that it was not the custom of the reg ular priests of the Catholic clergy in America. and that before adorning his face with the patriarchal beard he would be obliged to obtain permission from his superior, the Bishop of Brook lyn.
 "Oh, very weH,' said the specialist and Mgr. Taaffe, believing the episode had come to a pause, dismissed the matter for the time being. Two days later the specialist visited MonSignor Taaffe upon his own invitation and he handed the Monsignor a document up- On which there were official seals. The gist of it was that the Cardinal NlCdT OI flOIIle, Deon dppedleu to by an eminent Roman specialist in diseases of the throat in behalf of Mgr. Taaffe, unhesitatingly concurred in the specialists opinion that Mgr. Taaffe should safeguard his health by growing a beard, and exercising his right as Cardiral-Vicar to aid a broth CT priest he decreed by special diSpen- Sation that Mgr. Taaffe might cultf- vate a beard forthwith. The MonSig- nor, who had had no knowledge of what the specialist was going to do, was greatly astonished when he read the document from the Cardinal, and he readily complied with the commands of the specialist.
 In due time Mgr. Taaffe wore a lux uriant beard and was so changed in appearance that but few of his congre- gation who chanced to meet him inn mediately upon his return from abroad recognized him. The Sunday follow ing his return the Monsignor entered the pulpit in his church at high mass of the day by saying that the wanderer had returned and that he felt it neces- sary to introduce himself to his own congregation. The familiar voice of their pastor was recognized instantly by the people, many of whom clustered around him at the close of the service curious to know why he had grown a beard. The Monsignor still continues to wear a, beard, which is now a sil- very white.
 A thoroughfare beginning at Flush ing avenue and ending at DeKalb avenue a distance of about two miles, is called Taaffe place and was so named in honor of the Monsignor.
