Famous Trials
rHE H!AYpEN TRIAL


 Remarkable in mary ways was the trial of the Rev. H. H. Hayden for the murder of a domestic named Mary Stannard in the fall of 1879. The trial took place at Hartford, Conn. The defendant had been, until a short time before the accusation, pastor of the Methodist Church in Madison, Conn, but at the time of the trial he had changed his religious occupation to that of a farmer.
 Miss Stannard, the murdered girl, had been with the family for some time more as a friend than as domestic until just before her death, when she went to live with another family. On Sept. 3, 1887, she was found dead at a point called Big Rock, near a de- serted highway. From her condition t was supposed that a knife and stone had been used to dispatch her, and also in the body were found 90 grains of arsenic, of which had remained in a solid, mass in her stomack. Suspicion pointed to MT. Hayden as the authar of the crime, the presumable motive being to prevent the threatened eXpos- ure of previous relations What made that suspicion even stronger was the revelation that the unfortunate girl had told friend when she set out for her 1 last journey that she was to meet MT Hayden. It appeared also that the day of the murder, Mir Hayden had pur- l chased an ounce of arsenic>/at a drug ] store in Middletown 'to kill rats in a barn When he was arrested, a blood ] stained pocket knife was found in his 1 clothes. The paper containing some ar senic was also found in the barn. The defense was that the arsenic 1 had been placed in the body after death to direct suspicion against MT l Hayden, and to determine whether o1 not this was true Prof. Dana of Yale College presented his services The pro. lessor worked for nearly two years, ga | thering data, and information as tr the relation of arsenic crystaliZed ol l otherwise, before and after being intro. l duced into the stomach It was on Nov 4, 1879 that the first phase of the cast was heard.
 From that date, the case moved slowly The medical authorities wer, 1 unable to agree on almost any poin On Nov Il the States experts testi
 fled that marks had been found on tn
 face of the dead girl which resemble, those of the nails of the shoes tha
 Hayden had worn and that while tn
 girl was either dying or dead, the pris
 oner kicked her on the head and fac

 The counsel for the defense wa equally emphatic in their statement that the marks found on Mary Stan 1 nard's cheeks were nothing like sho

 marks common in cases of putrefac ton and resembled those caused b smallpox pr White was also present cd on the stand on the 11th, his ei

 Thus while coal mining is being car- ried on under improved methods and with concerted efforts for greater safe ty by government, operators and miners it is revealed that the time has not ar rived when such endeavors can in any way be decreased. As a matter of fact there exists today, regardless of the commendable progress that has been made, plenty of need for keeping re- lentlessly at the work of preventing fa- talitIes.

ASKING AND GETTING MUCH.

When China gets all that it seeps likely to get from the armament con ference and it is put into effect it will have difficulty in recognizing itself. Changes of a marked character, the like of which it has not undergone for years promise to take place, That China de- serves them iii order to be in charge of it's own affairs cannot be doubted but the question arises nevertheless as to whether under it's present condition 1t will be able to administer them, when it seems at the present time to be having so much trouble in agreeing upon it's own government.
 In view of the fact that the commit tee on the far eastern questions has agreed in behalf of the countries it rep resents to remove foreign postal agen. cies from China by a year from next January, there are good indications tc believe that 1t will be able to handle the responsibilities involved in satis factory manner It is one of the way. in which China will be given a chance tt show whether the demand for rec. ognition of it's administrative integrity was justified.

Special Xmas services were held in
all churches of England. Large con-
gregatiOnS assembled on Xmas morn

Paups Cathedral; for Xmas ranks
among the greatest of ecclesiastical
festivals and many who may have
become lax in attendance at public
worship in general do not fail to be
present on that day. At Westminster.
the Dean, following a long unbroken
custom, preached, and as for many
years past, the offertory was given
to the Westminster Refuge for Ne
cessitous Women. The anthem BE

The same anthems and carols were
rendered, at the afternoon service at
St. Paul's.
With an abundance of holly berries.
the decorations of the churches were
effective. To the young
people, the adornment of the holly
appeals strongly and emphasizes the
exceptional significance of the day
in the ecclesiastical calendar. And OF
the antiquity of the practice, the rec
ordS OF the city churches contribute
many notable proofs going back to
the sixteenth century, as in the pence
at St. Mary-at-Hill at this
period for several years for 'Holme

THE WORKING MAN.
BY Monroe A. Majors.

goes
If he did, what's the use he IS poor.
But he's alright, and his spirit shows
= That he is a man to the core.
He counts quite a deal in the great
worlds work.
The whistle you hear every morn
That calls Us out Of our beds where we
Turk
Is from steam Of his mighty horn.
So little we think Of the good of such
men,
Who bury themselves from the crowd;
So little we think how much they are
kin
To the fellow that's richly endowed.
And so the world goes, never stopping
to heed,
Or to give to such men what's their
due,
So warped by their wealth, and its
infamous greed,
Fail to see all that IS good and that's
true.
Some day he'll look better If clothes is
the thing
That can give a man looks that are
fine;
Some day you will meet him, and think
Him a king,
Or a prince, man, the way he viii

And why should it matter since he up

What he wears just to cover his
hidei
What color he is if his hearts true

And he has the great God on his

Although the school term just com
pleted passed into history with the
graduating exercises held on the 9th

on. On Jan. Dc. after pleasing in
teryiew with Miss Mcdonnell, prin-
cipal at Keith School. 34th and Dear
born streets, the visitor was directed
to confer with Mrs. Joslin, head as
sistant, and this visit could not have
been more opportune had 1t been
timed. Rehearsal of commencement
numbers was in progress which, in
their final rendition, amply rewarded
the untiring work OF this teacher who
has stood four square in efforts to
boost the efficiency rating at this
school and has not failed.
The graduating class numbered
iwenty-three pupils, and it is a pleas
ure to announce that Theodore
Kelley led his class in general schol-
arship. The work OF the class as a
whole was highly commendable and
it is hoped that the achievements OF
these boys and girls will be. an in
spiration to the children following
along.
An added attraction presented at
commencement was Keith School Or
chestra which, though less than a
year old, acquitted themselves ad-
mirabIy on this occasion. When we
pause to consider that music is innate
with us, of this feature we briefly say
that in matters musical, Keith has
struck her stride.
On the side OF intellectual advance
ment we hope that in some future
time, when our boys and girls are
in the balance of efficiency |
plus, they will measure up to the |
standard portrayed in the splendid ad-
dress delivered to them by the Hon.
H. Wright.

LEAVES FROM MEMORIES cAsKT
DR.. NJ. A. Majors.

Often in the stin hours Of night sit
thinking Of other days gone by. Think
ing of joyful moments when childhood
knew naught but goodness and had not
a care, when the gladdening things
could thrill the tender fibres of my
soul, and 1 could see sweet innocence
through eyes not opened to the gro
tesque and ugly things. 1t was Junes
time of warm sunshine, and its fragrant
hour Of sweet perfume that came rich
from the bloom of seasons variegated
shrub and foliage every where to be
seen in abundance.
Often the child dreams of those dead
days crowd before me, and richly laden
with pictures Of youths spring time
soothe and sustain me for older days
when cares might eofrOde my older
dropping spirit, cropping heavy with the
weight of years bearing me down.
In silent contemplation Of the past
so splendidly rich with the gorgeous,
and gaudy gloss of fortunes bequest
70 ehildhoods purity, and virture,
grand procession marshals its forces
before me and 1 almost seem to hear
the happy shouts Of children, their
merry laughter, and a glorious turbu-
lenee of chatter impossible to deter
mine.
A veritable sunburst to light up the !
dark spaces of later yesrsl A shooting
star of brillianey to lift the blight
from disappointment and a detected
heart. A mellow warmth of human
love, and life to coax the remnant Of
our hope to live again. This is why we
sit alone and think at night when all
is still.
When all its still and the world is
dressed up in the dark shrowd Of night,
twilight has pulled her curtain down
and pinned it with a star. The voice
of eloquent nature supplies rhapsody to
the dropping heart, weighted with gross
orders. The purple dawn of youth
comes and with it the first grim mo
ment to sadden the heart, and rear in
stead Of innocence, a eoneeit unified
for the abiding place of purity. Then

CHRISTMAS OR YULETIDE IN
LONDON, ENGLAND.
By Beatrice E. Lee, Ph.B.

A Yuletide comparable TO the bes
that the Riviera or Monte Carlo 9TH,
Palm Beach of Europe) could offei
in ideal weather conditions detracteC
nothing from the zest with which
London celebrated this Old English
festival. Alike in the hospitals, no
tells of the West-end, theatres, and
churches. the spirit of Christmas was
everywhere apparent.
The decoration of warships with
holly and mistletoe on Xmas Day in
Sheerness Harbor was not on such
an extensive scale as in pre-war times;
but most of the battleships, cruisers
and destroyers in commission had
festoons of evergreen hoisted at their
mastheads and on fagstaffs.
In hospitals the medical and nurs-
ing stats willingly gave their time to
entertaining the many sufferers who
at the London Hospital visited each
OF 900 beds, walking in single file with
lanterns while singing carols, Father
Xmas" visited the wards and distrib-
uted useful and amusing gifts to the
inmates and filed the children's stock
ings. Punch and Judy, conjurors and
professional entertainers visited the
institutions during the afternoon. On
Boxing Day, the day following Xmas,
concerts and other entertainments
were given in various hospitals.
The restaurant and grill rooms of
the best hotels, catering especially to
and Continental visitors,
were beautifully decorated with fes-
toons of real flowers, baskets of mis-
tletoe and holly and Xmas trees for
the children, Xmas trees the world !
over are indispensable to the joys of
and no nation would deny
the youngsters their cherished share
Of their own special season.
Theatres always plan special enter
-ainment for children during Xmas
week. The Specific holiday fare this
rear was various and abundant and
showed a full appreciation of the
modern demands of childhood al
Smastime. Children's theatre-going
n force comes but once a year, and
he plays announced were tempting.
