His logic falling he would turn to
merciless invective and ribald threats,
his penetrating voice making the
whole hut hideous as he prophesied

world and the next Then, overcome
once more by the intensity of his un-
satisfied desire for the drug that had
long been his master, he would moan
and plead and weep for morphine.
At times decisions would seize his
brain. By the hour he would rave OF
beautiful cities and wonderfully fair
women and pleasant pastimes. Ma
jestic lines of poetry would flow from
his fevered lips, to end in shrek of
agony as his quivering, knotted mus
cles all but tore his nerves apart.
Again the weird morphine fantasies
would take hold of him and a rush of
horrible grotesque ribaldries would
foul the air.

that capital punishment could not re-

the rigorous way he had kept up the
torture, seemed to have strong SYM

MORE ATLANTIC

SHIPS ON ACCOUNT OF CANA.
DIAN IMMIGRATION.

It is reported that eight new Trans
Atlantic liners are under construction
for the exclusive use Of the Canadian
Trade. These are being built by the
White Star, Canadian Pacific and
Cunard Companies.
The liners to be built for the White
Star are to be of the same type as the
Laurentic and Majestic, and will re-
place the Canada and Teutonic. The
Cunard Lines new steamer, Ascania,
has already completed successfully
her maiden voyage from England to
Montreal, and her sister ship will be
launched early next year.
1t is predicted that the Canadian
Noryhern will not be slow in following
the example of the other big concerns,
as it is matter of common belief that
Canada, more than any other in the
world, will be the country Of the flu
'ture, and the best field for investment
by shipping interests.
An official Of one Of the companies
already building steamers for this
trade told the American yesterday
that the ideal steamer for this service
is the two-cabin boat, having accom-.
mediation for second-class and steer.

cabin de luxe class will travel be-

that is to be obtained there will be
immensely lucrative, and for the next

Immediate future. Panama will de-

to come, but at the present we are
most concerned with the tremendous
tide of immigration that is being di-
verted from the United States to the
Dominion.
"The farm land of the vast North
West is the attraction, and while this
flood of immigration is at it's height,
the Canadian Government exercises a
strict censorship over the class of i'm

are drawing their future citizens from

1 am writing to you in pursuance of
my duty as executor of the late Edwin
Green, who died here recently, leaving
his entire estate, amounting to some
$3.50, 900, in my hands for What he was
pleased to term a "Defaulters' Fund"
1 can best explain its purpose by briefly
summarizing the founders life. In his
early youth Mr. Green was employed for
a short time in a bank in a small city In
another state. Becoming involved in
speculation he used several hundred dol
lars of the banks funds. He had no rela-
tives but sister, to whom he knew it
was useless to apply, for aid. AS dis
covery seemed inevitable he was con-
templating suicide. seeing nothing but
prison and disgrace ahead of him. But
an old friend of his father. who entirely
by accident learned of his plight, adj
vanced him the money he needed to make
good his defalcation, exacting from him
promise that he would help others in
similar plight whenever he had oppc1
tunity.
His subsequent life was of the highest
recititude. Though he amassed a fortune
he never found opportunity to aid any
one in a plight similar to the one in
which he once found himself. 1t became
almost a mania with him and resulted in
his leaving his entire fortune to aid first
offenders in turning back into the right
path.
1 know of no way of reaching the per-
sons he intended to aid I am sending
out this letter to persons employed in
banks and positions of trust. hoping that
you or others who receive it may know
of some man, young or old, who has
made the first misstep and is wrongfully
using funds belonging to others, but is

gladly make good his defalcation and en-
deavor to save him from exposure dis
grace and imprisonment, asking only his
word that he will not err again, for Mr.
Green, in the deed of trust, expressly
specifies that this is the only security tc
be exacted. l am. sir,
