With The Aid of a Leather Waist Belt and Roller Towsl He Hanged Himself--Was Appar- ently Bright and Cheerful. The pathway of the transgressor is not always paved with roses; more oi ten the thorns predominate, and some lind life's journey irksome and disap pointing. to those who have thus to ip more of life's bitterness than sweets, the termimation of the rough pathway is hailed with pleasurable anticipation as a means 'of shaking off the burden and trouble that beset each waking hour, Lawt week a farmer named Michael Rutten, residing near Verona, was charged belore Howard Reynolds, J. P., with an unnatural erime, the vie thn being his unmarried daughter, the mother of three children. Both father and daughter were said to be weak minded. The evidence against the fa- ther was sufficiently strong to 'war rant the justice of the peace commit ting him for trial, and Friday even ing he was brought to the county jail in this ¢ity. His demeanor in the Jail was sach that trouble was un- looked for and, beyond the customary surveillance, extra watch was not kept on his movements, Sunday morning he was around in the ward the same as usual, and par- took of Breakfast at the hour at which that meal is served, attended divine service, and at twelve o'clock até a hearty dinner, taking the dishes on which the meal was TOG KITCRH HE Was the to retura to the ward, but instead of doing wo he secured a large roller towel and ascended ot the gallery of the second row of cells. Here he took a leather belt from his waist, slipped it thrdugh the towel, fastened the belt around his neck and the towel to the upright rod, on the gallery and then jumped off the landing," thus hanging Himseli as neatly as the job could have been performed by a pro- fessional. At about one o'clock, turnkey Willi am Perry entered the ward and found the lifeless body. He gave the alarm and the body was promptly cut down, and though efforts were made to re store the heart to its action, these were in vain, Dr. Sands, jail surgeon, arrived promptly in response to a sitmmnons, but was unable to reader arty service towards reviving Ruttan. He thinks Rutten must have been hanging for at least twenty minutes before found. When discovered his feet wore almost wuching the ground floor. as the gallery on the second fat is not very high. It was a most deliberately ine and executed sui vide and no blame can be attached to any of the officials. Coroner Kilborn. was notified and after hearing the particulars decided to hold an inquest at four o'clock this. afternoon. Ruttan was a widow: er, but has a family of grown child ren. He was connected by family ties with some of the leading families in the county.

What promises to be a most help- ful and interesting series of discours- es was begun yesterday, by Rev. W. W. Morden, in Bethel Congregational church. To very many christians the aid testament is merely a historical narrative-- a record of events that have no bearing upon present day ex- periences and life, The purpose of Mr. orden's discourses, which will take the form of bible readings, is to show that in the light of new testament teachings these experiences of "the children of lerael were also typical of the experience of God's children in the dispensation in which we are now liv- ing. The bondage under which lerae- | tives groaned in Egyps wee typical of hondage in which by nature all men are to the great tpskmasteor sin, To- day mien are either the bond servants of right or of sin. The Israel ites were not redeemed without the giving up of innocent life, and the Blood of the spotless Passover lamb with which the dose-posts of their a. A FATHER'S TRIBUTE. ---- : On The Death of His Daughter, Miss Rachel Silver. A large assemblage of iriends gith- ered at the residence of Benjamin Silver, 85 Wellington street, yesterday, to attend wpon the funeral services of his oldest child, his daughter, Alice Rachel. There were no formal exer cises, but at the hour of twelve, the father, standing at the bead of the casket, in 4 very broken manner and with mach emotion, spoke as follows "Friends--We are assembied here to day to periorm the last sad offices for one who has ended life's rugged jour ney: a traveller who has reached the goal we are all approaching, who has lifted "the veil, and knows what is be- yond, Another life has ended, with is joys and its sorrows, its hopes and its regrets. We can but anticipate if there be a future life that it will bring to us more of joy and less of sorrow than does our present life. "By the immutable decree of nature, young and old alike are subject to death. From the wonderful tree of life, the buds and blossoms' fall with the ripened fruit. Yes, in the common bed of earth, the patriarch and the babe sleep side by side; and we scar cely know which?to call the more for- tunate--the infant dying in its mo- ther's. avms, ere its tender lips have learned to form a word, or he who travels "all the length of a life's un even road, paiofully taking his last slow, halting steps with aid of staff or erntch. Man, in mellow age, sinks in to the slumber of death as tranguilly an falls asleep the infant on its mo ther's breast. Tired of the dust and glare *ol day, he hoary with joy the rustling of the evening breeze that gently calls him home. In youth, with right visions of the-dutare-belors hit; he clings to life, just as the unripe fruit clings to the branch, and oft is troubled) at the thought of death. "We can not help bewailing our great loss, but let us cease to speak of the dead with sorrow. Rather let us think of them as beings at rest, and though gone in person from our sight, yet presents in our loving re membranee. We believe this my beloved, dear child has gone where all vanity and temptation, all struggle and anxiety, all 'pain and tribulations will be no more, We live in deeds, not years; fn thoughts, not breaths; he feelings, not in Singers on the) dial; din life is greatest who thinks most, ks trust, acts the best.' We are standing to-day on the brink of the boundless and fathomless Suture, waiving adieu to a fellow tra vellor who has embarked but a few davs it may be, before us! In death confront the deepest problem of life. We soe the bodies of those who sleep the sleep of eternity dissolve into the elements, and we ask, anxiously : Is this the end of all * From the blank chaos of the past we spring into: be ing like bubbles om the ocean, or flow- ers on the plain. "The spark of life burns. flickeringly on, now bright with hope and joyful smiles, now fevered with anxiety, now donded with despair; until at last it is extimguished by the cold touch of peace-giving death.

Why should we fear that which comes to all 7 Tt may be that this common lot of all mankind that we call death, wo Lily. d-------------------------- Woods of scilishness and hate, Surely, love where life "tis better to live and death is king, than have eternal where love is not.

COMPARISON BETWEEN MET- CALFE AND HARTY. Mr. Metcalfe"s Regime Were Nil To Kingston; Much To Metcalie--What Harty Secured For The City The electors of Kingston in selecting a member (0 represent them in Ottawa are not making donations, trying to secure a man who will take care of and promote their own inter ests and those of the city; any voter who casts a ballot in any other spirit is not fit to have one. Both Mr. Harty and Me. Metealie re cognize this, and each pull for support on this ground--his ability to advance the interests of Kingston. Now the electors are not foreed to make any experiment or choose in the dark, Both gentlemen have already had the op portunity of proving to the electors what they wére capable of aceomplish- ing. In the light of that has Mr. Metealfe the supreme audacity or un- bounded contempt for the intelligence of the rs to invite a comparison with Mr ry ? From 1879 to 1592 Mr. Metealie sat at Toronto as member for Kingston In all those years what did his services profit the city ? Absolutely nothing. He did not secure for the city as much as a hitching post. Weary with do- ing nothing he wishes to wry Ottawa, and in i892 was returned as member for Kingston in the house of commons. Here his friends were in power; and from 1892 to 1896 he did work hard, hut. only for higself, for the object of his ambition, the wardenship of the Kingston penitentiary. Advantage to the city--nothing. To James Henry Metcali--much. In 1892 Mr. Harty was elected nem ber for the city, and has sat u§ its representative at Toronto ever since With what vastly different result © to the city the following will show. Since Mr. Harty was returned in 1892 the Ontario government have undertaken and carrie the following works and expenditures, (1) They have. built an hospital for the insane at Rockwood at a cost of £35,000 (2) They have 'put in an entirely new sewerage system at a cost of 810, 000 } They have built the long asked for cast wing at a cost of $16,000. (1) They have arranged to build a western wing at a similar cost. (5) They have installed a new vlee trical plant, the work on which was done by Kingston workmen at a cost of $7,000, (6) Thev have established the school of mines here to the maintenance of which they make a yearly grant of 825.000, ' i7) Th have established a school of agriculture or "dairy school," a quired the property therefor, erected the buildings, and annwally contribute to its maintenance from five thousand to ten thousand dollars, the amount varying according to yearly attend ance, (3) They have granted for the erce tion of the building for the school of mines, which are now under construc jo A a secured by Kingston, largely through the exercise of the influence of Mr Harty, hé Kas from time to time aid ed in securing for the city the legisla tion it has required, and on such oc casions his assistance has been in valuable as the «city solicitor well knows.
