that they want To take notice of that

CRlPPEN ON MONTROSE.
Scotland Yard Thinks London Murder
er Has Been CAUGHT.

That DR.. Hawley Crippen and his
former StcnOGraphcr, Ethel Clara Ie-
neve are aboard the Canadian Pacific
steamer MOntrOSe. now on the high
seas bound for Montreal, is the firm
belief held by Scotland Yard, says a
London cable of yesterday. The cable
continues:
Since Crippen and his companion
disappeared more than two weeks ago
from the Hill Drop Crescent residence,
where a mutilatcd Eudy, supposed I"
he that of Crippen's wife, was found
under the cellar floor. search has been
made in many countries, special atten-
tion having been given To France and
of the many clues followed To their
ending, that which led the police to the
docks at Antwerp and To pursuit across
the ocean seems To- hold out the best
prospects for the capture of the miss
ing doctor and the Lcnevc woman.
''InSpectur Dew is now aboard the
steamer Laurcntic, which left Liver
pool on Saturday last and is due to ar
rive at Montreal July 80. That is the
date also of the arrival of the Mont
rose. but the Scotland Yard officials are
hopeful that the inspector will reach
RimOuSki in time to arrest the iugl-
tiveS. Inspector Dew knows both Grip
pen and the Leneve women personally
and can he depended upon Ia Identity
the couple. no matter under what dis
Guisc they are travelling. According
to one dispatch received here from
Montreal the Canadian Pacific officials
were in receipt of a wireless message
from the MOntrOSe, stating that the
Lcnevc woman had been found and had
confessed Another dispatch from
Montreal stated that the company had
been unable To- establish communiCI-
tinn with the steamer.
The London Express publishes a
cirCumStantal story of their arrest on
board the MontruSe. ON Friday the
couple were overheard discussing their
escape. according To the paper, and the
captain uf the steamer then commune

THE story of the farming operations

to watch the development Of the Nari-
ous crops and their effect, the one on

farm every day. We do not think there
is any doubt, about the fact that Mr..

THAT is ugly testimony that Rev. j.
Walter Daniels is bearing against the
city of Columbia; but the most start
ling thing about ii is that man of the
standing of Rev. Mr.. Daniels should
feel constrained to tell the truth about
the matter. We are prepared to Ee-
lievc all that Mr.. Daniels says, except
we think he may be mistaken, perhaps
i'm picturing Columbia as being so much
worse than other places. Columbia is
bad enough: but we think that if Mr..
Daniels knew as much about other cit
les as he knows about this city, h.
would probably not he so emphatic
about placing Columbia in a class by
herself AS to whether Rev. Mr.. Dan
iels undertook To give all the reasons for
this state of affairs, does not appear
from the Lexington dispatch To the Co
lumbia State, published elsewhere: hut
in our opinion much of the trouble is
traceable to a rotten social system.
The influence of Christianity is un-
doubtedly the greatest known power
in conserving morality and right, and
the laws of the land come next; but in
old towns especially, the dominant So
cial organization is a power great I
than either of these. 1t frequently
happens that when influential men,
bers of such organizations go wrong,
they have the power not only to dodge
law; but to escape unquestionable eN-
posure This naturally operates not
only to the injury of the inner circle.
but to society as whole, and weak
ems the power OF both church and state.
But it is a warm subject that Rev.
Mr.. Daniels has opened up. and if he
pursues it to legitimate conclusions,
he will soon find himself in a place
that will test his faith, his courage and
his sincerity to the uttermOSt.
