A Prayer.

By Robert Louis Stevenson.
written in Samoa on Dec. 2, 1894,
the night before he died.)
We beseech thee, O Lord, to be-
hold us with favor. Folk of many
families and nations are gathered to-
gether in the peace of this roof;
weak men and women subsisting
under the cover of thy patience. Be
patient still Suffer us yet while
longer, with our broken purposes of
good, with our idle endeavors against
evil-suffer us a while longer to en-
dure and, if it may be, help us to do
better.
Bless to us our extra mercies, and
if the day come when these must be
taken, have us play the man under
affection Be with our friends. Be
with ourselves. Go with each of us
to rest; and if any awake, temper to
them the dark hours of watching, and,
when the day returns to us our sun
and comforter, call us with morning
faces and morning hearts, eager to
labor, eager to be happy, if happiness
shall be our portion, and, if the day
be marked to sorrow, strong to en-
dure it.
We thank thee and praise thee, and
in the words of Him to whom this
day is sacred, close our oblation.

SAVING" DINNER INVITA-
TIONS.
Bailey Willard Tells How Fellow
Can Accept Several at Once.

Bailey Willard is a humorist. The
other day a neighbor said to him:
Il am invited out to dinner to-
morrow" which happened to be
Sunday.
Did you accept" was asked
ooh, yes, of course. And | had
two other invitations for the same
time"
well, why didn't you save the
other two?' asked the sage of Amer
lean avenue.
Save what"
"Why, the invitations"
81 don't quite catch on"
''You don't? Why, it is easy. A
man never wants to decline any in
vitation. If he gets three invitations
for the same day, he should accept
one for the day named, and the other
two for other days" answered the
author-humorist
81 don't exactly get your meaning"
suggested his friend
Easiest thing in the world" came
the quick answer when man gets
an invitation from three people
promptly accept the one he wants,
then call up the other two by phone
and thank the parties for being so
kind. He should say, | am greatly
obliged to you. | cannot come Sun
day for dinner emphasizing the word
Sunday Of course the host will say
at once, Well, what day can you
come And you can say Monday or
Tuesday or Wednesday-any day
only pick out a convenient one. Do
the same with the third friend, and
there you have the system. 1t is bad
form TO throw away invitations to
dine out. On the other hand, if your
wife is away, and you get two invi-
tations to dinner, you should accept
one, then say to the second one, I
can't come to dinner" and you will
be invited to tea, thus killing two
birds with one stone"

CAPT. KENDALL GETS REWARD
Scotland Yard Gives Him $1,25O For Discovering Dr. Crippen
 and Ethel Leneve

London. Oct 6.-The reward of $1,25O. offered by Scotland Yard for the apprehension of Dr. Harvey H. Crippen has been paid to Captain Kendall of the steamer Montrose.
 Inspector Dew said today that the captains claim that he had. discover ed the doctor and Ethel Leneve on board and had ordered Llewelyn Jones, the Marconi operator to noti- fy Scotland Yard by wireless, had been fully substantiated A claim for the reward made by the steward of. the Montrose was 6isallowed.
 Kendans attention was directed to John Robinson under which name 1Crippen had booked his passage for Montreal, when he happened to note shat one of his unusually large eye brows had slipped out of place, show ing that it was false. The next day the captain saw Robinson and his -ttson'' ho4ding hands in a secluded corner of the vessel and on close scrutiny he discovered that the son. had "his'' trousers held up by safe ty pin. Certain that he had Crippen and the Leneve woman on board he sent word to Scotland Yard with the result that Inspector Dew was able to beat the pair across the ocean and arrest them as soon as the steam CT arrived at Father Point in the St. Lawrence river.

ROTTEN CONTENTIOUS
(Hartford Times.)

There is clearly evident ft strong desire and intent to keep from the general public the knowledge of the extraordinary stories that are afloat concern ing the use of money in the pur- chase of delegates in a number of Republican conventions, by. means of which men who were either more scrupulouss or less bountifully supplied with cash than their competitors have been prevented from obtaining nom1- nations for office But the buy z ing seems to have been too open and brazen for conceaIment. We publish today an account of the meeting at New Haven last night at which it was declared by one very resoIute Republican that 'sWe've got to clean up the Re ublican party, even if we do elect a Democratic governor and rep resentatives.' q am standing for none of these rotten conventions we've seen in this state this year." added the speaker, an ac- tive and efficient worker on the Republican side in past years.
 The charge made at this New Haven meeting was that the nomination of MT. Butterworth for congress in the district was cited from MT ButterWorth's friends on the floor of the con vention, and that MT. Butter worth's nomination was beaten by the foulest means I've seen in Connecticut for sixteen years" The man who said this was MT. Butterworth's personal represen- ta.tive and manager, and he add ed: 'ENo man can tell me that I am going to vote for every man on a ticket that is marked Re ubIican."
 It is scarcely necessary to say that these statements caused a profound sensation in the meet ing. They will cause a sensation all over the state when they are properly circulated
 When are we going to have an account by some good RepubIi- can brother of what actually took place at the state conven- ton in Hartford? It ought to come soon.

KING MANUEL'S ESCAPE FROM PALACE CAREFULLY PLANNED AND
 NEAT COUP OF REVOLUTIONISTS
Graphic Account of the Fighting and Bombardment That Pre- Ceded the Boy Rulers Escape in the GaTb
 of a Police Officer

however, is that the King, disguised in the uniform of a police officer and accompanied by a small detail of fleet officers, left the palace by back passage under the street, communicat- ing with a building op the opposite side. It is thought that he boarded the Brazilian Dreadnaugf1t Sac Paulo and was later transferred to another vessel, either private yacht or Brit ish ship.
 Estimates tonight of the number of dead are admittedly inaccurate but from the most reliable information ob- tainab1e your correspondent estimates that the number of killed will not be less than fifty and will not exceed seventy-five. Most of the dead were among the defenders of the palace. The number of wounded will mount into the hundreds, probably running as high as five or six hundred.
 At the time of the filing of this dis patch the revolutionists absolutely dominate the situation here with the hill top Notifications, the batt1eship fleet and the city barracks in their pos session. A surprising degree of or der obtains, notwithstanding the tre- mendous excitement Of the past 48 hours and the new government has made a splendid start in it's efforts to win popular favor.
 The revolutionists still control all telegraph lines and any dispatches which might not be acceptable to their censorship will have to be filed via Carcave1Ios or Bedajoz.

VANISHING POLYNESIANS.
A Strong and Handsome People Who
Are Literally Rottinq Away.

OF all the inhabitants of the south
seas, the Marquesans were adjudged
the strongest and the most beautiful.
And now all this strength and beauty
has departed, and the valley of Typee
is the abode of some dozen wretched
creatures, afflicted by leprosy, ele-
phantiasis and tuberculosis. Mel
vile estimated the population at two
thousand, not taking into considera-
ton the small adjoining valley of Ho-
o-u-mi. Life has rotted away in this
wonderful garden spot, where the
as any to be found in the world Not
alone were the Typeans physically
magnificent; they were pure. Their
air did not contain the badfli and

We of the white race are the surviv-

died. Only those of us survived who
could withstand them. We who are
alive are the immune, the ft-the
ones best constituted to live in a
world of hostile micro-organisms. The
poor Marquesans had undergone no
such selection. They were not i'm
