SAYS HE TOUCHED BODY

Roommate Of Leon Ling, Suspected

Riuntness as He Smokes Ciqaret
After cigaret to Quiet His Nerves.
New York, June 23.-Baited and in
Inundated by detectives, threatened
with prosecution and confused with
rapid-fre questions, Chung Sin. one
time roommate OF Leon Ling, told of
Elsie Sigel's murder. Under the ter.

the little Chinaman admitted that he
had seen the body in Leon Ling's
room, that he had touched Il while
It was still warm. that he had smelled
drugs and had watched Leon Ling's
Preparations for placing the body In
the trunk where II was found, horri-
bly, decomposed, last Friday night.
Chung Sin is 80 years old and a
native OF Canton. He was arrested
nj West Galway, N. Y, and later was
brought to New York. Immediately
after his arrest and during the trip
by train to this city, he was piled
with questions, bullied. persuaded
and entangled in a mass of signifi.
cant questions. II was not until
hours later, however, that bis spirit
was sufficiently broken or sufficient
inducements were offered. as the
case may be. for him to cast aside
his air of stolidness and tell of the
death of the young missionary. Then,
smoking cigaret after cIgaret, to
quiet his nerves. the Chinaman told
brokenly. but with brutal bluntness,
of the girls death. He was surround.
ed at the time in the office of Assist
ant District Attorney Ward by detec-
tives from police headquarters, who
previously had put him through a
grilling. Mr.. Ward and District At.
torney Jerome also were present, and
from what can be learned II was ar
Jerome himself who finally drew the
story from Chung Sins lips. he was
told that Leon Ling had bsAn cap
tured and had laid the bShe upon
his tChunR-. SssrsS ~shopLers. This,
tosether with the persistent hammer
ing at the prisoner, brought the con-
fession. 1t was made partly in En-
glish and partly in Chinese. for there
was an interpreter present, and was
taken down hv atenopranhprz
Under the pressure of the third |

room Of Leon Ling:

bed" said the Chiiiaman, while his
hearers drew in closer In horrified
suspense, "and Leon, he was bending

blood on II. She was fighting with
him, but he only pressed the hand.
kerchief harder into her mouth.
Finally she struggled no more and
lay still, and Leon stood up and
looked down at her."
In one version of the Chinaman's
confession It is said he admitted
nePing Leon Ling tie the trunk, al
though denying that he aided him In
placing the body in II. He also ad.
nitted giving most of the money
which he borrowed from Chu Gain to
Leon Ling to aid the latter in his

A MARYLAND COLONIAL PARISH.
St. Johns Parish, Baltimore and Hartford
Counties.
BY J. woERALL LARMoUR, RECTOR.

This is said to be the oldest parish
in Baltimore county, Nd. The claim
has been disputed, but there is one
fact in its history which seems to
place it beyond dispute. That fact
is this /: In the year 1914 Jeremiah
Eaton devised certain tract of land
for the maintenance of the first Prot
estant minister who should reside in
Baltimore county and to his success
ors forever" This bequest was con-
firmed to the rector or minister of St.
Johns parish, Baltimore county," by
Act of the Colonial Assembly in the
year I7I9.
Nothing is known of Mr.. Eaton, or
of his descendants, nor is it known
where he is buried. More than a
hundred years after his death another
benefactor of the parish, the late Ed
ward Day, Of Baltimore county, had
prepared at his own expense tribute
to Mr.. Eaton's memory, which for
many years hung upon the walls of
st. Johns Church at Kingsville, a
building which Mr.. Day had erected
at his own cost, and which, with
three acres of land, he donated to the
vestry in 1875. Unfortunately this
memorial was not craven upon mar
Bile, but was printed upon paper, and
consequently it has become almost
illegible by the ravages of time. I
have tried to decipher it as best 1
could, and this, verbatim ct litera-
tim, is the result of my labor:

Sherwood, who before the order of
deaconess was revived in the church
gave herself to that work in connec-
tion with St. Paul S parish. Her life
was full of good works which she
did," and she gave herself wholly to
those works of mercy and kindness
which made her presence benedic-
tion to the sorrowfui and the suffer
ing wherever she went
The Rev. James A. Buck, for As
years rector of Rock Creek parish, in
the Diocese of Washington, grew to
manhood in this parish and attended
Sunday school at St, Johns.
The Rev. John w. Mott, one of
the retired clergymen of Maryland,
was teacher in Mr.. Keech's school,
and was ordained deacon in St. Johns
Church.
The Rev. Joseph P. Gibson, of the
Diocese of Pittsburg, spent his boy
hood here, and was confirmed in St.
Johns Church.
Christ Church, Rock Spring En-
manuel Church, Belair; The Prince
of Peace, Fallston, and St. Mary's
Church, Emmorton, are all within the
bounds of St. Johns parish.
During the rectorship of the Rev.
Hugh Deans, 1742 to 1777, St. James
Church, "My Lady's Manor" was
erected as a chapel of ease, with the
understanding that it should become
an independent parish at Mr.. Deans
death.
Trinity Church, Long Green, is also
within the bounds of St. Johns par
ish, and was served by the clergy of
St. Johns or St. James, until about
fifteen years ago, when it entered
upon an independent existence.
The benefactors of the parish have
been: Jeremiah Eaton, died 1915,
leaving $40 acres of land; Edward
Day, who built the old church at his
own cost, gave it with three acres of
land to the vestry, and when he died,
in 1912, gave it legacy of four hun
dred dollars; Mrs. Mary Sterett Bry-
arly, died 1894, legacy Of $1,000;
Joseph Cox, died 1896, legacy of
81 900; Mrs Elizabeth E. Bose, died
1899, a legacy of $5, 900.
While there has been no marked
growth, the parish has been able to
hold its own. The old people die,
and the young people go elsewhere
to better their condition, so that there
is not much chance for growth still
we hope that it has future. For it
is in one of the most attractive and
healthy sections of the State, it is
near the city, and it will in time be-
come place of suburban residences.
May God speed the day. May Here
vive His work, so that this old parish
may prove blessing to coming gener-
ations. He will do His part may
He enable us by His grace to do ours ;
for with His blessing our labor can
not be in vain.-Ha,fo,d Democrat.

BALKED AT PET PULLET.

1T doesn't pay to raise chickens
in small way" said a suburbanite,
"for the reason that you can only eat
the eggs, never the chickens them
selves"
"But why can't you eat the chick
ems ?" inquired the mans partner.
Gould you eat your canary or
your dog' No. And for much the
same reason" says the Philadelphia
Bulletin, "you can't eat your chick
ems. For they are pets, as dogs or
canaries are. You have raised them !;
they have learned to know you they
have names that they answer to they
follow you about the yard-in word,
they like you and you like them"
He shuddered.
81 remember when we killed and
stewed Mary Jane. She had stopped
laying; she was long past that stage !;
so we murdered her and tried to eat
her. But we failed. We felt like
cannibals, like ghouls, when Mary
James mangled remains were set
smoking before us. Eat? Why the
very memory half sickens me row."

the late Edward Day, of Baltimore
county, erected at Kingsville, at his
expense, a stone church, which with
three acres of land he decided to the
vestry ''to be used for all time as a
place for the worship of Almighty
God according to the rites of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, and no
other" Nor was this his only bene-
faction, for at his death, in 1912, he
bequeathed to the vestry ten shares
of the stock of the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank of Baltimore, the in-
come of which was to be used for the
support of the rector of St. Johns
Parish.
The church was consecrated by the
RI. Rev. James Kemp, Bishop of
Maryland, on the I7th day of July,
1877. In the year 1852 the church
was enlarged, and a vestry room and
chancel were added.
At meeting of the vestry, held on
the 9TH day of July, 1888, it was de-
cided "to raise by subscription the
sum of five thousand dollars for the
erection of new church. Unless the
entire amount was raised by the 1st
day of July, 1889, all subscriptions
were to be void" The amount was
all secured by the time specified, and
building committee was appointed,
but unforeseen obstacles were en-
countered, and no steps were taken
towards the erection of building
until July, 1894, when ground was
broken for the foundation.
The corner stone was laid on the
I'd day of August, 1894, and on the
eleventh Sunday after Trinity, Au-
gust 10th, 1896, the first service was

THE EYES.

The blessing of good eyes is uni
versally conceded in the abstract, but
in the concrete it is inadequately ap-
preciated if one may judge from the
lack of care taken to preserve it.
The eye is wonderful organ, but
singularly untitled to cope with the
tremendous strain which the present
reading and writing age puts upon it.
1t may seem to be an extreme state
ment, yet it is safe to say that not one
educated reading person in ten has a
pair of eyes which can be called per-
feet.
The most common defect is astigma-
tism, that is to say, an irregularity in
the refractiug part of the eye which
interferes with correct focusing of
what is looked at. What ought to be
seen as a point is registered on the
retina as short line. The result of
this is that the myriads of points of
which every object is composed are
seen as lines, and there is therefore
a greater or lesser blurring.
Custom prevents the recognition of
this imperfect vision, when the defect
is slight, but the fault is seen at once
when one looks through glass so
ground as to compensate for the ir-
regularity in the eye, for then the
image is perceived with distinctness
and sharpness of outline that is
revelation.
This astigmatism is often the cause
of headaches, dizziness and other
troubles which are unexpected and
uncured until the oculist corrects the
defect by properly fitted glasses.
1t would be we'll if every child who
is backward in school, who shows a
dislike of reading, or who complains
of frequent headache, were taken to
the oculist for an examination. 1t
would be shown that many dull"
child has a good brain, aud that his
disinclination to study is natures eff
fort to save his eyes from overstrain.
The eyes, like all other organs,
suffer when the body is exhausted,
and when one is fatigued the eyes
should not be used for close work.
Reading on a car or railroad-train is
bad, for the constant oscillation puts
great strain on the eye which regu-
late accommodation.
When reading or writing by arti-
fetal light, shade over the eyes is
to be recommended. In the daytime
the light should fall on book or pa
per from behind and a little to the
left, to prevent shadows. One should
never read or write for long time
continuously, but should look up oc-
casionally, across the room or out of
the window, to relax the strain on the
eye muscles.
Symptoms of eye strain are an un-
comfortable feeling, leading to re-
peated winking or rubbing of the
eyes, secretion of tears, redness and
itching of the lids, sites, falling of the
lashes, bloodshot condition and even
headache.
Bathing with cold water containing
a pinch of salt will often give reiiefto
"tired eyes," but if the tiredness is
persistent, it is sign that glasses are
needed. Youths Companion.

For "THE UNION"
NATURES WONDERLAND.
BY GEORGE e. TACK.

o wondrous and grand are the mountains fair
That range away In the distant air,
And touched with the suns own cOlOrs rare
In the skyfields of eve and morn.
And Alp-like, some their SUBMITS raise,
Their pinnacles and crowns ablaze,
With glory beams and purest rays,
AS on temples old and grand.
And others. hill-like range afar,
By golden seas, whose ripping bar,
Reflects, perhaps, the morning star,
That CLEANS so pure and mild.
And here and there the mountains through
Are placid lakes of deepest blue,
And opaline, and crystal, too,
That waveless, tideless, CLEAN.
Then over all there softly grows
A crimson Lighter chance of rose,
That flushes mount, and lake, and glows,
Through all the cloudland fair.
And oft through wonderland away,
/ go, at eve, or break of day,
Where nature holds her wOndrous sway
And charms my very soul.
Thus God doth grant me here at home,
By mountain, sea- and lake to roam,
Till to Mount Zion's sea l come,
And view His wonders there.
