Londond, May 21.-Therc was a further ac-

rimouireas discussion in the House et Com-
mons thin afternoon, anal a recurrence of
el the disorder or May 23 at one time seemed
imminent owing to Premier Balfour's demand
that Sir Henry Caumbell-Banuerman, the
•
• Liberal leader, guarantee that there shall
be no repetition of "such outrnges" it he
granted a day for the dIscuesion of the pro-
.
• posed vote of censure.
Sir Henry hotly repudiated responsibility
• for the disorder, declaring that it was duo
to Mr. Balfour's departure from the invari-
able practice of replying immediately when
his personal conduot as Minister was ho-
d n
ugned. Sir Henry refused the pledge de-
mr.nded, and after a lively interchange of
o argument, the Liberal leader saki he thought
the members would not depart from the or-
dinary procedure unless provoked by Mr.
, Balfour.
f The Premier said he accepted this "some -
f what grudging undertaking" and fixed May
30 for the debate on the vote of censure.

Conservative free traders, who naked for in-

INFANT DONE TO DEATH.
Body Found in Water in York Street
Slip at Toronto.
1 Toronto, May 29. -Another infant murder
wag brought to light last evening, wben the
body of a newly born female child, which
had been killed by being struck on tbe head
with a hammer, was found in the water at
the foot of York street.
paper. Dr. Buckley puts, this foreiblY1 -
when he says, "To many it seems that
ae the chief part of the work on a Sun-
day paper is deem on Saturday, it is not
therefore any more harm to read the
Sunday than the Monday 18Sue. But the
purchase of the. paper, and the reading
of it seem to us among the least of
evils. It is the introduction of the sante
tone of thenght and the consideration
of the same 'class of interests on the
Lord's Day as on the other days, which
is the chief evil. Instead of having one
day free from the cares and interests
which oeupy us through the week, we
have tie same thoughts and the same
interests; and the Sabbath is deprived
of its uplifting power by. the pre -oc-
cupation of the mind with its accustom-
ed routine. And the delicate spirit of de-
votion is eat easily retained after an
account or the kited political crisis, or
the last murder. The Sunday paper is
a wretched sobstitute for the devotional
moments in which we ought to prepare
ourselves and families for the house of
God."
PRACTICTL APPLICATIONS.
"'The keys of death and of bailee" (v.
18), Keys are experiences for the bene-
fit of others. When death came to Jesus
it was not the end of life, only an ex-
perienee in life. Not the putting out of
life, only the changing of the circum-
stances of life, without any more pow-
er over life than the cloud has 'over
the sun it obscures. Life went with Him
through the grave and eame out unharm-
ed. And. His own life that had conquered
death by tasting it, had enriched itself
with a sympttby for men unknown be-
fore. As one has said, "Any soul who
has passed through a great experience
has the keys of that experience. See-
ing another come up to it fearfully as
he came he can run to the new corner,
open -the door for him, show him on what
side this experience is bets entered, lead
him through the dark passages, and
bring him to the light beyond." He sees
the key in your band, he trusts you.

TRAGEDL.OF GOSSIP.
The Sad Story Dotutgleist!ritish Columbia
'Vancouver, B. C.,, May 30.-- A few
months ago Mrs. T. If. Atkinson, of
Ymir, committed suicide, after having
been socially ostracized; her 'husband
had just stepped from the dock at Alke.
Assize Court at Nelson a free man, pro-
nounced by the judge to bo without a
stain on Ilis charaeter. Mrs. Atkinson
died because of ill-natured goeeip; to
Atkinson irrevocable ruin and misery
have come from the same calve.
-Atkinson's drug store et Yinir wag
burned down some months ago, and he
was arrested on a charge of arson, ait
accusation which was ShOWe to have had
not -the shadow oe foundation. But it
mused one of the most pailsfuletrage.-
dies in the history of British Columbia.
Some evil-minded persons whiepered
that the druggist had fired his place for
the sake of the insurance, and the po-
lice arrested him. At once- Mrs. At-
kinson was made to stiffer also. At the '
time she most needed comfort, she was
deserted by her own sex in the mining
town, the women of Yinir practically
sending her to Coventry. This social
indignity, added to her other troubles,
served to throw her mind off its bal-
ance, and she droWned herself in the
reservoir. •
The tragedy of his wife's death, added
to the baseless eharge preferred against
him, made life almost unendurable to
the unhappy druggist. However, Atkin-
son kept up the couragee of despair ancl
was .arraigned at the Assizes at Nelsl'ile*,
The Crown presented its witnesses, but
the evidence Was so shallow that the
ease gave signs of breakine down at it
very early stage. When °the Crown's
meagre evidence was all in counsel for
the prisoner said he would place his
client in the box. But there was no
need of that action.
Peremptorily stopping the proceedings,
the foreman of the nary told the Judge
that if the evidence before them was all
the prosecution could bring, the jury-
men klt that the accuied had no need
to put in any defence; they were cer-
tain of his innocence. In order that the
last linguine doubt might be removed
from everyady's mind, Atkinson was,
however, allowed to go Into the box and
tell his own story, showing that he had
no knowledge of how the fire broke out.
This done, his counsel declined to ad-
dress the jury, and the latter, without
leaving the bax, brought in a verdict of
acquittal. Without a stain on his char-
acter, Atkiason left the dock. A lite
fie motherless girl, his daughter, dressed
in black, welcomed him back to liberty.
Slowly told sadly the couple lefe the
Court House, and the spectators as they
gazed, knew that they saw the Wronged k
victims of a tragedy of gossip.
