TIIK BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN
DAY SER3ION.
6uIJpct: "Easter In Greenwood.'
Text : "And (he fsld nf Hrhron, which vat
In Mnchfxlnh, which was hefore Mamre, V.
fit-M, and the cave which wan therein, and al.
Vif, trees that were in the fielsl, that were in ali
the borders round about, were made sure unto
Abraham." Genesi9 xxiii., 17, 18.
IIto is the first cemetery evor laid out.
M&ohprjluh was its name. It was an nrlo
r BC-'rit lieauty, whfre the wound of death
was bandaKod with foliagp. Abraham, a
ricli man, not beitis able to brilje the king of
terrors, proposes here, as far as possible, to
cover up the ravages. He had no doubt
previously noticed this region, and now that
Sarah, his wifn, had ditj that remarkable
person who, at ninety ypars of age, had born
to her the Bon Isaac, and who now, after she
had reached 127 years, had expired Abra
ham is negotiating for a family plot for her
last slumber.
Ephron owned this real estate, and after,
in mock sympathy for Abraham, refusing to
take anything for it, now sticks on a big
price 400 shekels of silvor. The cemetery
lot is paid for, and the transfer made in the
prf'si'iieo of witnesses in a public place, for
tln-re were no deeds and no halls of record
in those early ti:ns. Tlin in a cavern of
limestone rock Al-raham put Sarah, and a
few years aft t himself followed, and then
Isaac and Kebekah, and then Jacob and
Iji'ah. EmbowiToil, picturesque and mem
orable Machpelah ! That "God's acre" dedi
cated by Abraham has been the mother of
innumerable mortuary observances. The
necropolis of every civilized land has vied
with its metropolis.
The most beautiful hills of Europe outside
.the great cities are covered with obelisk and
funeral yase and arched gateways and col
umns and parterres in honor of the inhum
uted. The Appian way of Rome was bor
dered by sepulchral commemorations. For
this purpose Pisa has its arcades of marble
S-'ulptured into excellent bas-reliefs and the
features of dear faces that have vanished.
Genoa has its terraces cut into tombs, and
Constantinople covers with cyprU3 the silent
habitat ions, tmd Paris lias its Pere la Chaise,
011 whose heights rest I.alz ic and Davtd and
Marshal Ney and Ouvier and La Place and
Moliero and a mighty group of warriors and
poets and painters and musicians. In all
foreign nations utmost genius ou all sides is
expended in the work of interment, mummi
fication and incineration.
Our own country consents to be second to
none in respect to the lifeless body. Every
city and town and neighborhood of an intel
ligence or virtue has not many miles away
its sacred inclosure, where affection has en
gaged sculptor's chisel and florist's spada
and artificer in metals. Our own city has
shown its religion as well as its art in the
manner which it holds the memory of thosa
who have passed forever away by its Cypress
Hills, and its Evergreens, and its Calvary
and Holy Cross and Friends' cemeteries.
All the world knows of our Greenwood,
with now about 270.000 inhabitants sleeping
among the hills that overlook the sea, and
by lakes e-m bosomed in an Eden of flowers,
our American Westminster abbey, an Acro
polis of mortuary architecture, at Pantheon
of mighty ones uscen led, elegies in stone,
Ili-i'is in marble, whole generations in peace
waiting for other generations to join them.
Notlormitory of breathless sleepers in all the
world has so many mighty dead.
Among the preachers of the Gospel, Be
thune and Thomas He Witt and Bishop Janes
and Tyng and Aboel, the missionary, and
I'.oecher and Uuddiugton, and MeClintock
mi l Inskip, and Baugs and Chapin, and
Noah Schenek and Samuel Hanson Cox.
Among musicians, the renowned Gottschalk
und the holy Thomas Hastings. Among
philanthropists, Peter Cooper and Isaac T.
Hopper, and Luoretia Mott and Isabella
Craliam, and Henry Bergh, the apostlo of
mercy to th brute creation. Among the
litterati, the Carys Alice and Phoebe
James K. Paulding .and John G. Saxo.
Among journalists, Bennett and Raymond
and Greeley. Among scientists, Ormsby,
Mitchell, warrior .as well as astronomer and
lovingly called by his soldiers "Old Stars ;"
Professor I'roctor and the Drapers
splendid men, as I well know, one of them
my teacher, the other my classmate.
Among iuventors Elias Howe, whothrough
the sewing machine did more to alleviate
the toils of womanhood than any man that
ever lived, an I Professor Morse, who gave
us magnetic telegraphy, the former doing
his work with the needle, the latter with the
thunderbolt. Among physicians and sur
peons Joseph C. Hutchinson and Marion
Sims and Dr. Valentino Mott, with the fol
lowing epitaph, which ho ordered cut in
honor of Christian religion: "My implicit
faith and hop'j is in a merciful Redeemer,
who is the resurrection and the life. Amen
nnd Amen." This is our American Machpe
lah, as sacred to us as the Machpelah in
Canaan, of which Jacob uttered that pastoral
poem in one verse: "There they buried
Abraham and Sarah, his wife ; there they
buried Isaac nnd Robekah, his wife, and
there I buried Leah."
At this Easter service I ask and answer
what may seem a novel epiestion, but it will
be found, before I g -t through, a practical
rii i useful and tremendous question, What
will resurrection day do for the cemeteries?
First, I remark, it will be their supernal
beautillcation. At certain seasons it is cus
tomary in ali lan. Is to strew flowers over tho
mounds of the departed. It may have been
suggested by the fact that Christ's tomb was
In a garden. And wlen I say garden I do
not mean a garden of these latitudes. The
late frosts or spring and the early frosts ot
autumn are so near each other that there
nre only a few months of flowers inthe field.
All tho flowers wo see to-day had to be
petted and coaxed and put under shelter, or
they would not havo bloomed at all. They
nre tho children of the conservatories. But
at this season and through tho most of tho
year tho Holy Land is all ablush with floral
opulence.
You find nil the royal family of flowers
there, some that you suppose indigenous to
tho far north and others indigenous to the
far south tho daisy and hyacinth, crocus
and anemone, tulip and water lily, geranium
nn l ranunculus, mignonette Rnd sweet mar
joram. In the college at Beirut you may see
Ir. Post's collection of about 1800 kinds of
Holy Land flowers, while among trees are
the oaks of frozen climes, and the tamarisk
of the tropics, walnut and willow, ivy and
hawthorn, ash and elder, pine and sycamore.
If such floral and botanical beauties are the
wihl growths of the field, think of what a
garden must be in Palestine ! And in such a
garden Jesus Christ slept after, on the
soldier's spears. His last drop of blood had
coagulated. And then see how appropriate
that all our cemeteries should be floralized
and tree shaded. In June Greenwood is
Brooklyn's garden.
"Well, then," you say, "how can you
make out that the resurrection day will
beautify the cemeteries? Will it not leave
them a plowed up ground? On that day
there will be an earthquake, and will not
this split the polished Aberdeen granite as
well as the plain slab that can afford but two
words 'Our Mary' or 'Our Charley? "
Well, I will tell you how resurrection day
will beautify all the cemeteries. It will b
by bringing up the faces that were to us
once, and in our memories are to us now,
more beautiful than any calla lily, and the
forms that are to us more graceful than any
willow by tho waters. Can you think of
anything more beautiful than the teappear
ance of those from whom we have been
parted? I do not care which way the tree
falls in tho blast of the judgment hurricane,
or if the plowshare that day shall turn under
the last rose leaf and the last china aster, if.
out of tho broken sod shall come the bodies1
of our loved ones not damaged, but irra
diated. The idea of the resurrection gets easier to,
understand as I hear the phonograph unroll
some voice that talked into it a year ago, jusfj
before our friend's decease. You touch the
lever, and then coma forth the very tones,
the very song of the person that breathed
into it once, but la now departed. II a man
can do that, cannot Almighty God, without
half trying, return the voloo of your depart
ed? And If he can return the voice, why
not the lips, and the tongue, and the throat
that fashioned the voice? And If the Hps,
anil the tongue, and the throat, why not the
brain that suggested the words? And if the
brain, why not the nerves, of which the brain
is the headquarters? And if he can return
the nerves, why not the muscles, wbioU aro
Iss Ingenious? And if the muscles, why not
the bones, that are less wonderful? And if
the voice, and the brain, and the muscles,
and the bones, why not the entire body? It
man can do the phonograph, God can do the
resurrection.
Will it be the 6ame body that in the last
day shall be reanimated? Yes, but infinitely
Improved. Oar bodies change every seven
years, and yet in one sense it is the stme
body. On my wrist and the second finger
of my right hand there is a scar. I made
that at twelve years of age, when, disgusted
at tho presence of two warts, I took a redhv..
iron and burned them off and burned them
out. Since then my boly lias changed at
least a half dozen times, but thuse scars
prove it is tho same body.
We never lose our identity. If God can
and does sometimes rebuild a man Ave, six,
ten times in this world, is it mysterious that
He can rebuild him once more and that in
the resurrection? If He can do it ten times,
I think He can do it eleven times. Then
look at tho seventeen year locusts. For
seventeen years gone, at tho end of seventeen
year3 they appear, and by rubbing the land
leg against the wing make that rattle at
which all tho husbandmen nnd vino dressers
tremble as tho insectile host takes up the
march of devastation. Resurrection every
seventeen years a wonderful fact !
Another consideration makes the idea ot
resurrection easier. God made Adam. He
was not fashioned after any model. There
had never been a human organism, and so
there was nothing to copy. At tho first at
tempt God made a perfect man. Ho made
him out of tho dust of tho earth. If out of
ordinary dust of the earth and without a
model God could make a pertect man, surely
out of the extraordinary dust of mortal body
nnd with millions of models God can make
each one of us a perfect being in the resur
rection. Surely the last undertaking would
not be greater than the first. See the gospel
algebra. Ordinary dust minus a model
equals a perfect man. Extraordinary dust
and plus a model equals a resurrection body.
Mysteries about it? Oh, yes. That is one
reason why I believe it. It would not be
much of a God who ';ould do things only as
far as I can understand. Mysteries? Oh,
yes. But no more about the resurrection of
your body than about its present existence.
I will explain to youthe last mystery of the
resurrection and make it as plain to you as
that two and two make four if you wilT tell
me how your mind, which is entirely 1 ide
pendent of your body, can act upon your
body so that at your will your eyes open, or
your foot walks, or your hand is extended.
So I find nothing in the Bible statement con
cerning the tesurrection that staggers me
for a moment. AH doubts clear from my
mind. I say that tho cemeteries, however
beautiful now, will be more beautiful when
the bodies of our loved ones come up in the
morning of the resurrection.
They will come in improved condition.
They will como up rested. The most of
them lay down at the ' ist very tired. How
often you have heard them say, "I am so
tired ''" Tho fact is, it is a tired world. If I
should go through this audience and go
round the world, I could not find a person in
any style of life ignorant of the sensation of
fatigue.
I do not believe thire are fifty persons in
this audience who ar3 not tired. Your head
is tired, or your back is tired, or your foot i3
tired, or your brain is tired, or your nerves
aro tired. Long journeying or business ap
plication or bereavement or sickness has put
on you heavy weights. So the vast majority
of those who went out of this world went
out fatigued. About the poorest place to rest
in is this world. Its atmosphere, its sur
roundings and even its hilarities are exhaust
ing. So God stops our earthly life and
mercifully closes the eyes, and more espe
cially gives quiescence to the lung and heart,
that have not had ten minutes' rest fcom the
first respiration and the first beat.
If a drummer boy were compellod in tho
army to beat his dru n for twenty-four hours
without stopping, his officer would bo court
martialed for cruelty. If the drummer boy
should be commanded to beat his drum for a
week without ceasing, day and night, ho
would die in attempting it. But under your
vestment is a poor heart that began its drum
beat for the march of life thirty or forty or
sixtv or eighty years ago, and it has had no
lurlough by day or night, and whether in
conscious or comatose state it went right on,
for if it had stopped seven seconds your life
would have closed. And your heart will
keen going until some time aftor your spirit
has 'flown, for tho auscultator says that after
tho last expiration of lung and the last throb
of pulse, and after the spirit is released, tho
heart keeps on beating for a time. What a
mercy, then, it is that the grave is tho piaco
where that wondrous machinery of ventricle
and artery can halt !
Under tho healthful chemistry of the soil
nil the wear and tear of nerve and musclo
and bono will bo subtracted, and that bath of
good fresh clean soil will wash oft the last
ache, and then some of the same style of
dust out ot which the boiiy of Adam was
constructed may bo infused into tho resur
rection body. How can the bodies of the hu
man race, which have had no replenishment
from the dust since the timo of Adam in par
adise, get any recuperation from the store
house from which lie was constructed with
out our going back into tho dust? That
original life giving material having been
added to tho body as it once was, and all tho
defects left behind, what a body will bo tho
resurrection body! And will not hundreds
of thousands of such appearing above tho
Gowanus heights make Greenwood more
beautiful than any June morning after a
shower? The dust of tho earth being tho
original material for tho fashioning- of tho
first human being, wo havo to go back to tho
same place to get a perfect body.
Factories are apt to be rough places, and
those who toil in them have their garments
trrimv and their hands smutched. But who
cares for that when they turn out for us
beautiful musical instruments or exquisite
upholstery? What though tho grave is a
rough plac j it is a resurrection body manu
factory, an 1 from it shall como tho radiaut
and resplendant forms of our friends on the
brightest morning the world ever saw. You
put into a factory cotton, and it comes out
apparel. You put into a factory lumber and
lead, and they come out pianos and organs.
And so in tho factory of the grave you put
in pneumonias and consumptions, and they
come out health. You put in groans, and
they como out halleluiahs. For us, on tho
final day, tho most attractive places will not
be the parks, or the gardens, or the palaces,
but the cemeteries.
Wo tire not told in what s ;ason that day
will come. If it should be wi.ater, those who
come up will be more lustrous than the snow
that covered them. If in the autumn, those
who come up will be more gorgeous than the
woods after the frosts had penciled them. If
in tho spring, the bloom on which they tread
will be dull compared with the rubicund of
their cheeks. Oh, the perfect resurrection
body ! Almost everybody has some defec
tive spot in his physical constitution a dull
ear. or a dim eye, or a rheumatlo foot, or a
neuralgic brow, or a twisted muscle, or a
weak side, or an inflamed tonsil, or some
point at which the east wind or a season of
overwork assaults him.
But tho resurrection body shall bo without
one weak spot, and all that the doctors and
nurses and apothecaries of earth will there
after havo to do will be to rest without in
terruption after tho broken nights of their
earthly existence. Not only will that day
be the beautillcation of well kept cemeteries,
but some of the graveyards that have been
neglected and been the pasture ground for
cattle and roosting place for swine wiil fcr
the first time havo attractiveness given
them.
It was a shame that in that place ungrate
ful generations planted no trees and twisted
no garlands, and sculptured no marble for
their Christian ancestry. But on the day of
which I speak the resurrected shall make the
place of their feet glorious. From under tho
shadow of the church where they slumbered
among nettles and mullein stalks and this
tles and slabs aslant, they shall arise with a
glory that shall flush the windows of the
village church, and by the bell tower that
used to call them to worship, and above the
old spire beside which their prayers formerly
ascended. What triumphal procession never
did for a street, what an oratorio never did
for an academy, what an orator never did
for a brilliant auditory, what obelisk never
did for a king, resurrection morn will do for
all the cometeries.
This Easter tells us that in Christ's resur-

1 the resurrection of all the pious dead, is as
sured, for tie was "the first fruits ot tnem
that slept." Iienan says He did not rise, but
580 witnesses, sixty of them Cbidst's enemies,
say He did rise, for fhey saw Him after He
had. It Be did not rise, h&w did sixty armed
soldiers let Him get away? Furely sixty liv
ing soldiers ought to be able to keep one
dead man. Blessed be God ! He did get
away.
After His resurrection Mary Magdalene
saw Him. Cleopas saw Him. Ten disciples
in an upper room at Jerusalem saw Him. On
a mountain the eleven saw Him. Five hun
dred at once saw Him. Professor Ernest Re
nan, who did not see Him, will excuse us for
taking the testimony of the 580 who did see
Him. Yes, yes. He got away. And that
makes me sure that our departed loved ones
and wo ourselves shall get away. Freed
Himself from the shackles of clod He is not
going to leave us and ours in the lurch.
There will be no doorknob on the inside of
our family sepulcher. for we cannot come out
of ourselves, out there is a doorknob on the
outside, and that Jesus shall lay hold of, and,
opening, will say: "Good morning! You
have slept long enough! Arise! Arise T' And
then what flutter ot wings, and what flash
ing of rekindled eyes, and what gladsome
rushing across tho family lot, with cries of :
'Father, is that you?" "Mother, is that
you?'"' ''My darling, is that you?" "How
you all have changed ! The cough gone, the
croup gone, the consumption gone, the par
alysis gone, the weariness gone. Come, let
us ascend together ! The older ones first,
the younger ones next ! Quick, now, get into
line ! The skyward procession has already
started ! Steer now by that embankment of
cloud for the nearest gate !"
And, as we ascend, on one aide the earth
gets smaller until it is no larger than a moun
tain, and smaller until it is no larger than a
ship, and smaller until it is no larger than a
wheel, and smaller until it is no larger than
a speck.
Farewell, dissolving earth ! But on the
other aide, as we rise, heayenat first appears
no larger than your hand. And nearer it
looks like a chariot, and nearer it looks like
a throne, and nearer it looks like a star, end
nearer it looks like a sun. and nearer it looks
like a universe. Hall, scepters that shall al
ways wave ! Hail, anthems that shall always
roll! Hail, companionships, never again to
part ! That Js what resurrection day will do
for all the cemeteries and graveyards from
the Machpelah that was opened by Father
Abraham in Hebron to the Machpelah yes

THE TEXT OF THE CONVEN
TION LATELY NEGOTIATED
The Two Governments Desire to Co
operate In Prohibiting the Immi
gration of Undesirable Chinese La
borers The Provisions Concern
ing Americans Residing In China.
The text of the recently negotiated treaty
with China was made public at Washington
with a view to checking the formation of
opinions about its provisions based on the
more or leas incomplete and inaccurate re
ports that have appeared in the newspapers.
It is :
Whereas, on the 17th da of November, A.
D., 1880, and of Kwanghsii, the sixth year,
the tenth moon, fifteenth day, a treaty was
concluded between the United States and
China for the purpose of regulating, limit
ing, or suspending the coming Chinese labor
ers to and their residence in the United
States ; and,
Whereas, the Government of China, in
view of the antagonism and much depre
cated and serious disorders to which the
presence of Chinese laborers has given riso
in certain parts of the United States, desires
to prohibit the emigration of such laborers
from China to the United States ; and,
Whereas, the two Governments desire to
co-operate in prohibiting such emigration,
and to strengthen in other ways the bonds
of friendship between the two countries;
and.
Whereas, tho two Governments are de
sirous of adopting reciprocal measures for
the better protection of tho citizens or sub
jects of each within the jurisdiction of the
other :
Now, therefore, the President of the
United States has appointed Walter Q. Gres
ham. Secretary of State, as his Plenipoten
tiary, nnd His Imperial Majesty the Emperor
of China has appointed Yang Yu, Officer of
the Second Rank, sub-director of the Court
of Sacrificial Worship and Envoy Extraor
dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, and the
said Plenipotentiaries having exhibited the
respective full powers, found them to be in
due form and good form, have agreed upon
the following articles :
Article 1. The high contracting parties
agree that for a period of ten years, begin
ning with the dato of exchange of ratifica
tion of this convention, the coming, except
under conditions hereinafter specified, of
Chinese laborers shall be absolutely pro
hibited. Article 2. The preceding article shall not
applv to tho return to tho United States of
any registered Chinese laborer who has a
lawful wife, child or parent in the United
States, or property therein of tho value of
$1000 or debts of like amount due him or
pending settlement. Nevertheless, every
such Chinese laborer shall, before leaving the
United States, deposit, as a condition of his
return, with the Collector of Customs of
the district from which he departs, a full
description in writing of his family, or
property, or debts, as aforesaid, and shall
be furnished by said collector with such
certificate of his right to return under
this treaty as tho laws of the United
States may now, or hereafter, pre
scribe, and not inconsistent with the pro
visions of this treaty ; and should the writ
ten description aforesaid be proved to
be false the right of return there
under, or of the continued residence, at
their return, shall in each case be forfeited.
And such right of return to the United States
shall bo exercised within one year from the
date of leaving tho United States ; but such
right of return to tho United States may bo
extended for an additional period, not to ex
ceed one year, in cases where, by reason of
sickness or other cause of disability, bo
yoDd his control, Buch Chinese laborer
shall bo rendered unable sooner to re
turn which facts shall be fully reported
to tho Chinese Consul at tho port of depar
ture and by him certified to the satisfaction
of the collector of the port at which such
Chineso subject shall land in the United
States ; and no such Chinese laborer shall be
permitted to enter the United States by land
or sea without producing to the proper offl
cei of the customs tho return certificate
herein required.
Article 3. The provisions of this conven
tion shall not affect the right, at present en
joyed, of Chinese subjects, being officials,
teachers, students, merchants or travelers
for curiosity or pleasure, but not laborers, of
coming to the United States and residing
therein. To entitle such Chinese subjects fis
are above described to admission into the
United States they may produce a certificate
from their Government, or the Government
where they last resided, vised by tho diplo
matic or consular representative of the United
States in the country or port whence they
depart. It is also agreed that Chinese
laborers shall continue to enjoy the privi
lege ot transit across the territory of
tho United States In the course of their jour
ney to or from other countries, subject to
such regulations by the Government of tho
United States as may bo necessary to pre
vent said privilege of transit from being
abused.
Article 4. In pursuance of article 3 of tho
Immigration Treaty between the United
States and China, signed at Pekin on No
vember 17, 1880, it is hereby understood
and agreed that Chinese laborers, or Chi
nese of any other class, either per
manently or temporarily residing in tho
United States, shall havo for the protection
of their persons and prouertv all
rights that are given by the laws of
tho United States to citizens of tho
most favored nation excepting the right to
becomo naturalized citizens. And tho
Government of the United States reaffirms
its obligation, as stated in said articlo 3, to
exert all its power to secure protection to
the persons and property of all Chinese sub
jects in the United States.
Article 5. The Government of the United
States, having by act of Congress, approved
May 5, 1802, as amended by act approved
May 5, 1893, required all Chinese laborers
lawfully within the limits of the United
States by the first named act to be registered as
in said acts provided,with a view of affording
them better protection, tho Chinese Govern
ment will not object to the enforcement
of such acts and reciprocally the Gov
ernment of the United States recognizes
the right of the Government of China to
enact and enforce similar laws or regu
lations for the registration, free of charge,
of laborers, skilled or unskilled (not
merchants, as defined by said acts
of Congrese), citizens of the United
States in China, whether residing within or
without treaty ports. And the Government
of the United States agrees that within twelve
months of tho date of tho exchange ami rati
fication of thi3 convention, and annually
thereafter, it will furnish to the Govern
ment of China registers and reports showing
the full name, age, occupation and number of

matic and other officers of tho United States
residing In China upon official business, to
gether with their body and household ser
vants. Artiole6. This convention shall remain in
force for a period of ten years, beginning
with the date of the exchange of ratifications ;
and if, six months before the expiration of
the said period of ten years, neitlur Govern
ment shall formally have given notice of its
termination to the other, it shall remain in
full force for another like period of ten
years.

SHOT DOWN AT HIS DESK BY
A DESPERATE CRIMINAL.

I'nion by William Fredrick, an
Ex-Convict, Who Wa Wanted

Francisco (Cal.) Savings Union at 9.30 n. m. ,
nn 1 handed a note to Assistant Cashier A.
Herrlck. After examining the nolo Mr. Der
rick handed it back. The visitor then shot
Herr'k dead.
The porttrtrled to disarm the murderer,
who immediately turned his fire upon him,
but missed him. The assassin fled from t!i-
bank pursued by policemen and a crowd,
which had been attracted to the tceno by the
shots. He had only gone a short distance
before he was captured. lb' gave the name
of Fred Rornenian, anil the police say he had
just arrived from Denver.
The note ha ided to Cashier Herrlck was
written in red ink. In it the murderer s.iid
that if he wero not given money ho would
blow up tho placo with nltro-glyeeriue. Ou
the bottom of the note was drawn a skull
and cross-bones.
The first shot fired by tho nss.-issin went
wide of its mark. Herrick reached for his
revolver and shot, but missed his man. The
assassin's second shot took effect in tho
c.-ishier's head, killing him instantly. C. V..
Melvin, the paying teller, shot twice at tho
crank, wounding him. The cashier was
thirty-flve years of age.
Tho note which tho crank handed to
Cashier Herrick roads as follows :
"Mr. Cashier: After considering my le-
filorable condition lam convinced that this
ifo is not worth living without desperate
means, and therefore I am resolved to make
one more effort to seek help to sustain my
miserable existence. Should you not cotnnly
with my demand, I'm compelled to employ
my last remedy a bottle of nitro-glycenne
tindto bury myself under the ruins of this
building, blasted to everlasting nothingness.
Yours respectfully,
"A Desperate Mi."

Into a wagon and drovo several blocks.
Finally ho turned into a blind alley, and was
for;od to abandon the wagon. H;i jumpel
over a fence Into a yard, and crawled Into a
vacant lot. There tho officer caught him.
When tho prisoner was examined there
were found on him two forty-five-ealihro pis
tols, a belt lull of cartridges, a illrk knUe, a
razor and a fuse such as is used to ignite dy
namite. It was also found that Mr. Melvin had
aimed better than ho thought. One bullet
had cut tho murderer near tho left eye, aud
the other was lodged in the left shoulder.
The police recognized In their prisoner
tho notorious Fredericks, ex-convict, and a
desperate criminal, for whom the authori
ties throughout tho State had been search
ing for some time. Fredricks was
for a long time a confederate of
Chris Evans. Ho killed Sheriff Pin
coo, subsequently killed Benjamin
Bruce, a Northern Pacific brakeman, and
