An Anti-CIimax.

DR. WOODROW WILSON, New Jersey :
- governor elect, said in a brilliant
speech in Paterson:
Political speakers of today are given
more polite hearing than formerly. az
course, even now We have to submit 10
spirited attacks from our opponents, but
personal insults, roared at us from the
audience, are very rare. We are not,
however, altogether free from such in

cusation. He said he did not know eX-
actiy what his opponents meant. bat If a
man who had made his own way by hard
work was an upstart, then he certainly
was one.
For you see before you, gentlemen,
he exclaimed, "a self-made man"
THE audience cheered.
But this splendid effect concluded

by a knocking voice that shouted from

of the wonderful jewels, the gifts of plous
pilgrims to- the famous Virgin of Cen
StockoWa.'
Millions of pious pilgrims journey year
" from all parts of eastern Europe to
Czenstockowa where the monks were the
guardians of the oldest and richest sacred
picture i'll the world. This picture was
taken from Byzantine church in the
fourteenth century and is, the legend
says, the work of st. Luke. 1t is painted
ON cypress wood, which has become black
with age. The face is married by scars
which were made by the Tartars in an
invasion of Poland Besides the many
gems which were stolen, the picture stilb
possesses three dresses, one worked in
diamonds. one in pearls and the other i'll
rubies. They are kept in the treasury of
the monastery. which was inaccessible to
the younger monks.
This holy place has been the scene of
two terrible crimeS-Sacrilege and muir
der-both committed by members of the
community of Pauline monks that has
possessed the monastery for centuries.
One crime was committed u year ago,
when jewels worth S3O00.HD were stolen
from the picture. Tie mystery of the
murder just has been cleared up, though
il took place last July. and only now did
the police discover what had become of
the jewels from the picture. The whole
story reads more like some sensational
detective novel than a page from real
life.
Last July two public carriages were
standing outside the monastery waiting
for fares. At about o'clock, when by
the rules all lights should be out and
each monk in his cell a servant emerged
from the monastery and told the cabmen
to drive up to the inner gateway. Thence

came three men carrying a large sofa
wrapped up in mating and bound with
ropes, which they placed in one cab A
monk. whose white habit could easily be
seen under his black cape and the serv
ant who had hired the cabs got into the
second and gave orders to drive into the
country. After going some miles the
driver of the second cab. who said his
horse was too tired to go any farther
got d liberal fare and turned back. The
monk and his servant then got into the
cab with the sofa and drove on. After
a long drive they came to a river. The
monk told the cabman to stop and held
throw the sofa into the river. and when
the cabman asked what all this meant
he received the reply. DO as you are
told by servant of God.
When the sofa was in the river the
monk took the crucifiX which hung by
a rope at his side and made the cabman
swear on it that he never would divulge
what he had seen and added. what you
have witnessed tonight has been done for
the benefit of Christianity" Three days
later some peasants fished out the sofa,
opened it and saw that il contained the

Father Damatius was arrested just as
he had crossed the frontier to Austrian
territory, and Mrs. Macoch. who was to
have joined him. was also locked up.
The monk confessed his guilt almost I'M
mediately, and told the story Of the
crime in calm, collected words. Other
witnesses prove that his account is true
in the main points.
AS the son of a peasant he received a
scanty education, hut succeeded in be-

to be admitted as a monk. "rhe prior

body of a man whose throat had been
cut The police failed to identify the
corpse and although the cabman heard
the story he kept his word and said
nothing. Nobody suspected that the sofa
had anything TO do with Czenstockowa.
For nearly four months the police vain
~ searched for a clue. AT last they found
out the wrappings on the sofa had come
from CzenstockOwa. and the man TO
whom they were traced said he had sold
them to a monk. Then another clue was
found. The cabman got drunk In the
presence of a detective and dropped hints
that he knew more about the wrappings
than most people. but could not tell it.
He was arrested and. according 20 Rus

The case made out against her and
Father Damatius by the police is this:
Little by little he robbed the picture of
its almost priceless gems, replacing
them by false stones. some of which
were found In his cell He sold the
real ones with the help OF his cousin,

near the Austrian frontier, easily dis

on. Then Father Damatius. VacIav

story of the theft OF the gems which
electrified Europe year ago. The

BAR AND BENCH
Pay Tribute To The Memory OF The
Late Reuben Haines


cult Court for Cecil county, held
on Thursday evening, September
FL, the following resolutions in
memory o; the late Reuben Haines
Esq, were read by William S.
Evans, Esq, Chairman of the Me-
mortal Committee of the Cecil
Bar.
WHEREAS, Our brother and
fellow-counsellor, Reuben Haines,
after having passed the allotted
three score and ten years, has
been called from this Earthly Fo-
rum to that bourne from which
no traveller returns
THEREFORE, BE IT RE-
SOLVED, That we place on the
records OF this Court tribute to
his memory. His mind was stored
with usefu, information on var
iety of subjects. He was a good
conversationalist, and his GENIAL
and cordial manner to those who
enjoyed his confidence and friend
ship made him an interesting and
delightful companion.
He was a member OF this Bar
for nearly half centeury, and we
have reason to believe that, if he
had not been stricken with serious
sickness, he would have had a
very successful business career,
because he had acquired large
cllentage anl lucrative practice in
the beginning. which was constant
ly increasing up to the time he
was overtaken by i'll health, where
by he was incapacitated from
work.
He was endowed with great or
tltude and was never heard to
complain or refer to the misfor-
tune which so early in his life rem
dered abortive his cherished am
bition to succeed in his profession.
Nor was he ignorant of the
principles Of law, for even after
his sickness and up to the time of
his death he managed all business
with a fidelity and honesty that
commended our respect and con-
idcnce.
His death furnishes another ex-
ample OF the uncertainty OF lie and
is a warning TO each OF us that the
time is not far distant when we,
too, Sholl be called to pass over
the hills OF Time and lie down to
rest in the shades of Eternity.
RESOL\ED, That upon the ad-
option o: these resolutions a copy
thereof be sent to the family OF
our deceased brother and to the
public press, and that this Court
be adjourned in his memory.

DEAD AND MISSING 80.
Property Loss by Dynamite Explosion
Approximates $1,OOO,0OO.

New York, Feb. 2.-Three separate
Investigations were started this morn
ing to fix the responsibility of the
dynamite explosion in New York har-
Dor yesterday. One will be conducted
by a coroners jury under James NJ.
Houghton of Jersey City, another by
INSPECTOR of Combustibles James M.
Connolly of Jersey City, and a third
bv Public Prosecutor Pierre P. Garven
of Hudson county, n. J.
The Jersey City police and the fed
eral authorities will assist in all the
three Investigations
Definite estimates of the number Of
dead are still impossible. The total OF
dead and missing are 80. The list of
dead in the hands of the coroner's jury
is seven and it is that officials belief
that most of the % men whom he
classes as "missing'' were blown to
atoms.
The property loss, according to vari-
Gus estimates, will be between $5O,O0O
and S, ,OOO, 900. The heaviest sufferer in
this respect is the Central Railroad Of
New Jersey at whose docks the dis
aster occurred. Vice President Besler
sets the railroads loss at about $780,
600. The United States government Is
also a heavy loser with $4,000 damages
at Ellis island.
The blast was probably the largest
explosion of dynamite that has ever
occurred anywhere Intentionally or by
accident Fifty thousand pounds went
up in the single detonation.
