The bat in the I< ace of tie fi eld and the Deuth. hospital are starred with the red badge of courage. But it is to be found also in the solitude of the New England farm house, or on the isolated western ranch, it is nourished by lofty Chris tian ideals, and thrives by the daily practice of homely virtues. On a Maine farm, relates the Youth's Com panion, a mile from neighbors, lived alone an old couple. The wife was a frail, slender woman, long incapaci tated for hard work, but helped in all her heavier tasks by her vigorous and devoted husband. In midwinter he •was stricken with pneumonia. When the disease was at its height a furious snowstorm came on. Koads were blocked, and even the faithful country doctor could not make his way to his patient. The old man knew himself to be dying. lie knew that two days might elapse before doctor, friend or undertaker could reach the house. "With the prevision of love, he saw his wife alone in her sore need. Slowly his fevered mind pictured the grim and grewsome details of death, and he re solved upon one final effort for her re lief from some of them. Painfully and with long intervals for rest and breath lie rose from his bed, and little by lit tle made a careful toilet, lie threw off the clothing of his illness, and donned, one garment at a time, his best Sunday knit. When the last touch was put to this manly preparation he stretched himself again upon the bed, folded his hands, and with a smile into the loving, trustful face of his old wife, he breathed his lart. So the neighbors found him the next morning. Could the world's battle fields show finer example of "unbounded courage and compassion joined?" It is interesting to note how the title that any member of an American Doubtful filory '«"nily may acquire she d s its luster of n Till". , , over tlie w hole family. They all bask in its borrowed radiance—assuming that a title sheds radiance and in spite of the fact that it only too often does not. A title's a title for a' that, seems to be the para phrase among some of Uncle Sam's citizens, says the New York Sun. The fact that a Philadelphia girl w ho mar- Tied the other day'had beauty, money and position seemed to be of small mo ment. Iler parents, even, were scarce ly mentioned in the newspaper reports of llie wedding. All other considera tions were eclipsed by the other fact that her sister had married a titled for eigner, and not a very big title at that. In every published account the bride was desciibed not as "daughter of Mr. and Mrs. but as the "sister of Countess ." The fact that the marriage of this same countess' sis -ler turned out most unhappily, and that, finding it impossible to live with her husband, she was some years ago obliged to get a legal separation, eounts for nothing. The title's the thing. Seldom has there been a more beau tiful ceremonial than was observed in a New England coast town last month in memory of the sailors who went out to sea during llie year, and did not come back. The congregation of the teamen's chapel walked down to the end of the pier, and after all had joined in a prayer said by a clergyman, tWS little children threw 09 bouquets into the ocean, one for each missing sailor. Then they all sang, "Jesus, lyover of My Soul," and returned to the chapel. This, in its simplicity and its signifi cance, reminds one of the celebration in ancient Greece more than of the practices of the unimaginative and ma terialistic twentieth century. Some woman has calculated that 20,- 000,000 milieu pies placed on top of one another will make a monument of indi gestion 315 miles high. What an ab surd thing to do with pie! If the mon ument were built it. would not be three minutes before the btw* would be un dermined by boys who would bring the fabric crashing to the earth, thus dis tributing stomach aches and plenty to 315 miles of the pie belt. Glorious dream! Useless calculation! THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST liepnl>lU'n iiN I'repnrlng for Cnrcful Work OuriiiK plno In tttirgent I.eaderM In Hotinde 1 tp. Manila, March 27.—Noriel, the only insurgent general with tlie exception of Malvar, still In the field, has been captured by Lieut. Frank E. Batn ford, of the Twenty-eighth infantry. A major, a captain, a lieutenant and five men who were acting as a body guard to Noriel were captured with him. They have been lieft.l as prison ers of war. There is reason to be lieve that one member of this body guard is Gen. Malvar in disguise. Lieut, baniford is certain that if this general is not one of the captured party, he is in the immediate neigh borhood of the scene of Noriel's cap ture. Noriel has been one of the recog nized leaders of the insurrection since 1599. He was captured on his way to the coast, while endeavoring to escape. He admits that the insurrec tion, as such, is over and says that the few remaining leaders are fleeing. A Holdup In a Hotel. Emporia, Kan., March 27.—Two masked men made a bold attempt early Wednesday to rob the safe of the Hotel Whitley. With leveled re volvers they compelled Paul Vickery, a clerk; Jesse Reeves, a porter, and W. F. Sullivan, a traveling man, to throw up their hands. Sullivan was ordered to throw his cash on the floor, and complied to the extent of SSO. He and the porter were then locked in a cloak room. Vickery was ordered to open the safe, but was unable to do so, and after being re lieved of his money, was locked in the closet, lhe roboers tried to open the safe, but failed and departed.

The Jury Wnn Out Three llourn—Not a itliiM'li) of tlie I , rl»oiier , » Face Moved a* the Foreman of the Jury Announced the Verdict. v New York, March 27. —Albert T. Patrick, lawyer, was last evening con victed of tne murder on September 23, 1900, of the nged millionaire re cluse, William Marsh Rice. The penalty under the statute is death in the electric chair. A scant three hours of deliberation at the close of a trial prolonged for nine weeks and replete with sensa tional interest sufficed to enable the jury to reach their verdict. The issue of the trial establishes the charge that Patrick conspired with Mr. Rice's valet, Charles F. Jones, to ob tain possession of the aged Texan's estate, estimated at $7,000,000, and that Jones killed his employer by the administration of chloroform at the direct instigation of Patrick. At the close of Recorder GofT's charge, which occupied the morning session of the court, the jury retired. This was at 1:50 p. m. At 5:55 p. m. they notified the officer in charge that they were ready to return to court, rather more than an hour of the intervening time having been de voted to luncheon. In anticipation of a scene of ex citement in the event of a verdict of guilty, the unusual step was taken of ordering all women to leave the court room. Among them were the prisoner's two sisters and Mrs. Fran cis, with whom he boarded. The members of the jury filed into their places, and some minutes of painful tension elapsed while messen gers were endeavoring to find the counsel, who had departed, not ex pecting a verdict for many hours. Calm as ever and with confidence seemingly unshaken, the prisoner was escorted into the court room, lie walk 1 rapidly and took his stand facii. ■ the jury with head erect and hands loosely clasped behind his back. At the word "guilty" pronounced by Foreman Machell in a tone low but distinct enough to be heard throughout the court, not the slight est change passed over Patrick's face and he remained standing in an almost listless attitude while the cus tomary poll of the jury was being taken. His aged father, (apt. Pat rick, sitting near him, and straining to catch the statement of the fore man, started for an instant as its im port reached him and then sat calmly awaiting the further proceedings. A smile of triumph lit up the face of Assistant District Attorney Os borne, who hastened from the court immediately after Recorder (loff had, at the request of the prisoner's counsel, fixed on a week from Mon day as the day on which to pronounce sentence. The verdict was known almost im mediately in the corridor where the women relatives arid friends of the prisoner were waiting, and a scene of excitement ensued. Patrick, after taking leave of his father, was led back to the Tombs. A motion will be made for a new trial when the prisoner is arraigned for sentence. The cases of David L. Short and Morris Meyers, the witnesses to Pat rick's will, who testified for him ar, the preliminary hearing before Jus tice Jerome and were indicted for perjury as a result of their testi mony, will probably be moved for trial in about ten days. What disposition will be made of Charles F. Jones, the former valet secretary of Millionaire Rice, who confessed on the stand tnat he placed a chloroformed sponge in a cone over his sleeping employer's face, no one connected with the district attorney s office would say. Jones is not under indictment for murder, and so far as is known is not under indictment for forgery or conspiracy. WAIT FOR RESULTS. No itlore In junction SuttM AgnlnM ICnllroadK I mil Judem Drcldo, Chicago, March 27. —Unless there shall be a change in the present plan of the government, 110 more suits for injunction will be tiled against the railroads until Judges Philips and Grosscup shall pass upon tne legiti ity of the restraining orders now in force. The joint hearing probably will take place here June 23. Attor ney VY. A. Day, special counsel for the government, left for Washington last night to confer with the depart ment of justice as to subsequent actions. If the head of the department shall take the same view as Attorney Day, no more expense will be incurred in bringing suits, unless the courts shall decide in favor of the injunction method. In the event of a favorable decision, bills will be filed as rapidly as they ean be prepared in St. Louis, St. Paul anil New York, and others will be tiled In Chicago. The decision to delay other cases surprised the attorneys for the rail roads and placed, in their judgment, a new phase upon the matter. Al though no assurances were given them that such would be the case, it, was generally understood that all the roads would he brought in as fast, as bills could be prepared.

Though the Grand Trunk Railway system carried over 30,000 tourists and sportsmen into one district of Canada's summer play grounds last year, the Company is starting out this year with a vigorous policy of ad vertising to still further increase the influx of pleasure-seekers who annually travel over this system. The company has now decided to give the populace of some of the larger cities in the statesof Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky and Pennsylvania an opportunity of seeing the series of photographic views it had on exhibition at the Pan-American exposition at iMiflalo. There will be over 100 pictures in the collection, each measuring 3 feet 6 inches by 4 feet 2 inches, in addition to one of the finest collections of mounted fish that has ever been shown. The fish include specimens of black bass from the "Highlands of Ontario," dorc and maskinonge from the St. Lawrence, land-locked salmon from their native waters, and other specimens of rare value. A representative of the Grand Trunk will accompany the exhibit and the art gal lery will be installed in the business portion of the cities visited. Thousands of copies of literature, describing the several regions to be advertised, will be distributed. The exhibit will open at Saginaw, Mich., March 10, and goes from there to Grand Rapids, thence south to several points in the other itates. The tour will occupy ten weeks, two day* beng allowed in each city. Another I'ijie Story, Museum Manager Where's the living ikeieton? It's his turn togo on. Mile.
