Mrs, Hughes appears to have devided, on hearing of the d.eatb of her Imeband, that it was iinnOssibie for her to live without Idm. The marriage, eighteen ittonths ago, of the young eouple—Air, Hughes was only twenty-five and his wife twenty-six, at the time of the tragedies—was a run away one, and took place at $t, Law- rence Jewry, Gresham street,. the ob- jections a both families to the union being based on the youth of the .couple. The inquiry into the death of Mrs. Marjorie Hughes was concludes]: by Dr. Dow, the deputy coroner for East Sus- sex, in the police court attached to the town hall at Bastbourne. Mr. Hart, sol- icitor, of Eastbourne, represented Mr. Albert Henry .Aanes, the father of Mrs. Hughes, and, tile gentleman was the first witness called. He said he resided at 11 Grange road, Eastbourne. His daughter was twenty- six, "On Monday last I was informed of a tragic occurrence aeLetves," continued Mr, Ames. "I was told that Mr. Hughes was Seriously injured, but I did not know at the time that he was dead, 1 at once sent it telegram to my daugh- ten Mr. Ames, continuing his evidence, said that he next received a telegram from his daugher saying that she would arrive at 0.35. "I next heard that she had been found dead," said Mr, Ames itt almost inaudible tones, and evidently ?suffering from grelars emotion. Eventu- ally he broke down completely and sob- bed audibly. A revolver, five -chambered, small, nickel -plated, and of American make, was next produeed. Mr. Ames identified it as belonging to his daughter. There was nothing etrange in her having it, he said. She was an expert shot, and was quite accustomed to manage a re- volver. She had used a revolver for six or seven years past. Mr. Kenneth Martin, residing at 12, Grasiingtonroad, Eastbourne said that be followed no occupation, but was a director of a public company in London. Ile had known Mrs. Hughes about eight years, and her husband for aimost the same period. While in the Pullman car leaving London Bridge for Eastbourne on Monday at 5.5 p. in. he saw Mrs. Hughes rush along the platform. She was only just in time.to catch the train. She entered the car in which he was seated, and, added Mr. Martin, "she showed me the telegram she had receiv- ed. "Mrs. Hughes said she was going to get out at Lewes, and. I said that if she would sit still I would get oat and make inquiries for her. She made nie promise to tell her the whole truth. I made quiriea and returned arid told her that her husband was dead. She was very distressed—very much indeed.—and she asked me to leave her alone for a:. little while,soI walked away and talked to the car attendant. "In a little time I missed Mrs. Hughes and went with the car attenaa,nt to the ladies'. lavatory. The door was not lock- ed. Inside the lavatory we found Mrs. Hughes curled up, and as I helped to lift her revolver dropped from her right hand." The jury found that Mrs. Hughes died from a aelf-inflicted bullet wound) and that her mind was unhinged with grief at the time. Five hours later Dr. Dow held the in- quest on the body of Mr. Mervyn Pow- ard Hughes in a room. at the fire sta- tion Lewes, • Inspector Edwin Bann, of Lewes rail- way station, said that his attention was 'called to Mr. Hughes by it porter named Houlden. "I went to the carriage," said the inspector, "the dook of which was already open. L saw Mr. Hughes, who was bleeding from a wound in the head. He was removed and placed on a stretch- er and. taken to the hospital." • Mr. J. W. Burbidgeasurgeon, of Lewes said he saw MHughes in the hospital r. . Asked to reconstruct the scene on the lines of the evidence given, the doctor placed the stock of the carbine at his foot, his left temple on the muzzle, and his hand on. the trigger, saying, It would be quite easy for anyone to pull the trigger in. this poeition." Mr. J. C. Axtell, caahler to Meuse. H. B. Hughes & Sons, wool brokers, said that Mr. Hughes was it juniot partner in the firm. Ii had been ill for Some tune pest. The jury found that Mr. Hughes eora• mitted suicide while of unsound mind. PLAIN TOM PRICE'S NAST HOLI, DAY.

Voison for Mr. Farman, the winner of the g2,000 prize for a circular flight of one kilometre, and is now rapidly nearing completion. The new aeroplane consists of a long spindle-lhaped framework, measuring 40 feet from head to tail, near the entre of which are plaeed the motor. and driver. Three pairs of wings, arranged side by side, and not above one another, as in the former machine, and measuring 20 1-2 feet from tip to tip, and 3 feet in depth, are fixed above this frame in front of the driver. These, are the main sustaining planes, but right in the rear are arranged two entailer pairs of wings -15 feet by 3 feet—the rear pair of all being pivoted, so that they can be deflected upwards or downwards to regulate the mime of the mathine. A rudder fixed to the tail of the main freme steers the aeroplane to left and right. Both these steering devices are controlled by a single steer- ing -wheel acting through levers aud wires. The screw in the new machiae is pla,c• ed in front, has a diameter of p feet, and is driven at 1,100 revolutions a min- ute by a 5044., eightecylinden, teir- cooled motor, of a new tepe, weighing 315 pounds. The aeroplane runs along the ground before rising into the air on three .pneumatic -tired wheels, the front pair of which are steered by the steer- ing -wheel, Which simultaneously works the rudder. In its general lines the acre - plane recalls ir a striking .manner the appearance of a flying fish, and -has been so named. A speed of sixty miles an hour is pro - jetted, while a speed of forty-five miles is necessary to leave the ground. After the first experiments Mr. Farman in- tends to go to the Beauce distriele in Central France, where flat plains stretch for miles in every direction without any obstacles in the way of tbis wonderful racer, weighing half a tete hurtling through. tha air at the speed of an express train. Mr. Farmae intends to make his first aerial voyage in Great Britain at Yar- mouth, on the South Denes, where the Corporation rocecourse is laid out. MARTYRS TO SCIENCE. Three heroes in the cause of humanity are to -day working in the London Hospi- tal. The recent case of ;Sr. Hall .Ed- wards, of Bitaninghana who, as it result of his X-ray investigations, had to have his nem amputatea, has drawn attention to them. The London Hospital was a pioneer in the enterprise of treating diseaseby the use of X-rays. During the eleven years its radiographic department has been in operation hundreds of poor sufferers have been cured or their eases have been. alleviated. In the department are Mr. Itarnack, Mr. Wilson end Mr. 131ackluill, acting un- der the direction of the doctors. To -day each of, them is suffering art it result from X-ray dermatitis, incurable, dis- ease. The hands of Mr. Wilson and Ur. Blackhall are coated from the nails to the knuckles with dried cancerous ul- cers, which are steadly eating away the heas and spreading up the arms. Mr. Wilson has recently lost one finger, and another is threatened. Mr. Illackhall, wnose arm is in it sling as the result of an operation only it few days ago, was in a worse state, if anything,than his colleague. The pain at timi es s excruci- ating, Mr. Blackhall was asked why he did not take a holidity. "I really cannot," was his reply. "I have eases of poor sufferers from lupue, rodent ulcers, ringworm and cancerous cases, and aro booked up to January next." WAR ON CROCODILES' EGGS. Dr, Koch, the famous bacteriologist, is one of the principal delegates to the eping sickness conference "tow sitting et the Foreign Office. The objeet of the conference - is to arrange for the creation of an international eentral bureau which will collect fade About the disease and assist to ste,nm it out. "The disease is due to e fly which ex- ists in the virgin districte ef Africa," said Dr. Koch on Wednesday. "The fly is a bloodsucker, and I found that where there are no human beings it lives upon the crocodile. My examine.. tions showed that -crocodile blood was its main diet, and therefore I suggest that with the destruction of the troeo- dile you will destroy the fly also.

"After I had caught the hild the women lowered hermit from thewin 'dow, and hung by her hands as a narrow ledge below the sill. We thought that she was going to drop into the flames beneath, and a great groan went up from the crowd. Then a man, leoning from the window of the boitse next door, called her, and gradually the woman be- gan working her way along the ledges hand after hand, "It seemed as if she must fall, but she managed to hold on. Nearer and nearer she got to the moat' and I think everyone in the crowd heldtheir breath. The man leaned farther out of the window. He seized the woman and with a tug pulled her into saftity. PRISON COMEDY. The presence of the ringleaders of the recent disturbances at Maidstone and Dartmoor hag not tended to make Port- land prison dull, and ever since their ar- rival there have been frequent out- breaks. Within the last month two convicts have, attempted to escape, but hove been recaptured. Recently one of the ecna victs transferred from Maidstone learn- ed that his time was nearlf.up, and he proceeded to celebrate tbe news. Ile was one of the first quarry gang, and, as soon as he got to his steam crane he broke from the party and climbed. the mast of the crane, On reaching the flat cap at the mast- head, he lay flat on his stomach and commenced cheering. He refused to climb down, and as a high wind made it too dangerous to remove him by 'force he was left to enjoy himself. At the end of two hours ho wanted to descend. Ex- posure to the strong cold wind, how; ever, had so numbed him that he could not come -down without help. Two con Act riggers were sent for and lowered him to the ground. He could not stand alone, however, and was remoVed to the infirmary. A free fight recently broke out among another gang. Help was obtained, and the pugilists were marehed away. SHIP WRECKED BY METEOR. A tale of shipwreck, more vivid by far than the strangest imaginations of the writers of romanee and adventure, has reached Queenstown. The sailing ship Eclipse, 1,480 tons, was on it voyage from Newcastle to San Francisco. She had been at sea for eighty-five days when she was overta,k- eu by a terrible hurricane. Lightning, followed by deafening peals of thunder, lit up the sky. •Suddenly a meteor stuck her fore topmast. The meteor crashed right through tbe deck, and tearing a large bole in the hull, fell into the sea. No effort could keep the ship talc*, however. Captain Lessen and his crew of fifteen were compelled to take to the boats, and e few hours later they saw the ship founder. The menpentfifteen days in the open boats, under a scorch- ing sun.

Effect of Foot Races and Ball Playing on Oriental Costumes. "Oriental people are very averse to physical exercise of any kind. Their idea of enjoyment is to sit under an awning said play backgam- mon," said Edward 0. Donaldson, of Constantinople, Turkey, the director of an American and English wholesale importing house in the capital of the Sultan. "That a man should go out and run around a track to shame- less nakedness, and this with no hope of gain, only confirms them in thc belief that all Americans are mad. But they are Imitative people, and some years ago the influence and ex- ample of the younger teachers got a few of the preparatory boys out for foot-raoes. "That day, for Beu-Beirut, at least, the deathblow was struck to the pic- turesque dress of the Orient. You can't run a 100 yard dash -with long, baggy trousers and a silk gumbez that flops around your ankles. Even if you tuck your skirts into the sash tho effect is more startling than speedy. So ono by one the students ordered European trousers from the city tailors. "At first they were poorly cut and viewed with suspicion, but to -day there are not three men in the col. legiate department who wear the old costume and many of the students dress with taste and an elegance that their professors canriot afford to emu- late. Tennis and basketball soon won their place in the students' favor, and now we have gymnastic apparatus and a regularly graduated athletic director, who has learned physical culture and boy nature through a long experience in the gym. nasiums of America. "But it was football that did the most toward ixnification, The value of team work is a new idea to East- ern college men. The old ideal was that of 'every man for himself.' It haa been so since the time of Alci- biades and Absalom. If it had not been so the history of the world might have been different. 'It was comparatively easy to see the joy of winning 'a foot race or a tennis match, but to play aix untheatrical part in a football game, obeying a captain and working for the good of the side—that was a different thing."

To this end He gave hint mutherity over the material creation, that it might be subject, and minister to him; for this Ha es- tablished the family, that together men might be perfected through the joys and ditties of domestic and so- cial relationships : for this Ite or- dained work, that life might never be blighted with the curse of idleness; for this He instituted the Sabbath, tbat rest might contribute its helpful solace aud comfort, to ever repair the waste of life and renew man for the struggle of life. Some have jater- preted the Sabbath as a day set apart ' for Cod that He might exact for Himself a. fraetieu of man's time. Nothing could be more mistaken. The Sabbath was mole for man, It wile made for himin recognition of the fact that man was made in the image of God and filet it would be an in- strument of power in„achieving god- likeness. The Sabbath as a day of rest recognizes the diseipline of work,. A man made in the , image of God must resemble God in a life of active and purposeful usefulness and. bene- volence. But it also recognizes that a, man must occasionally, and if he would work at his best and longest, periodically rest. Two extreme -VieWS of the Sebbath are current. One is the Pharisaic view 'that the day is to be observed with an exacting ama wearisome round of religious services, which even the saintliest find any- thing but a means of greet and never cease to reproach themselves because: they cannot feel otherveise, The other is the secular view, width makeSun- day an occasion of frivolous idleness, if 41.V -of more vicious dissipation, If one of the two had to be chosen, there can be no doubt of the immense superiority even of the Pharisaic Sab- bath to Hilt of th3 sectner. But sure- ly there is a better way of regarding the Sabbath. On that day we may be socinl without being frivolous, and. religious without being sanctimonious. The best use of the Sabbath is that which makes it best for themanifold man --regarding his body, his mind, Iii s heart. A wholesomely religions Sabbath is our salvation; religion is the. only efficeent sanction for morals, the only power which can make Us better Men and better wemen, the only offset to the eternal grind of material interests, the only effkient distipline of char:tater by which man is able to reach and maintain "the measure of the steture of the fulleess of •Christ"—The N.
