INCIDENTS IN SOCIETY Wedn; mnilro\l! uuult by an un- known man wl -esca) it leaving any clue was. James Lennen about 9 oclo & day night at his home at 40 Boswell avenue. Over an hout later the police arrested on suspicion Royal G. Holmes of this city, who has.been a confi- dential “friend of Captain IAnnen in the handling of his business affairs, it _is understood, - What the police say are blood spots on Mr. Holmes' «vercuu and on his gloves directed their suspicion tow- ards him, and after a lengthy mfeuu- gation Capt. D, J. Twomey ordered the arrest of Mr. Holmes. He denied all Bwlt in connection with the affair and obtained his release on $500 bail given by a relative. Captain Lennen. was taken to the Backus hospital after more: than hal! a dozen wounds on his head had been tru‘f.:‘d by a)r. Lnul%h T. Cassidy at the captain's- home, e were doubtful whether the m been made by a knife or a heavy weapon used for striking. Captain Lennen’a story of the as- nult was that he had come home just : about 9 o'cleck affer being downtown at the Ellis restaurant, where he was reading a newspaper. He came into the back door of his place and locked the door after him as he entered the. house. ~ As he came into the dining room, which was dark, and was pass- ing around the table towards the kitchen, a man struck him on the top of his head from behind, knocking him to the floor, and then jumping on him and continuing to pound him on the head. He shouted loudly tor help and James Boland, who lives in the upper part of the house, responded by call- ing back to him and then running out into the street, yelling for the police. Mr. Boland ran up the street some 40 or 50 feet and then back towards the house, seeing a man running away and up into Reynolds street at the time. He could give no description of this man except that he was of good height and not of heayy build. Mr. Boland summoned help from the police by telephoring from a store on Franklin street, and Captain Twomey sent Policemen Michael Carroll and Patrick Murphy to the Boland house at once. After the officers had arrived Mr. Boland went out agin to telephone for Mr. Holmes, because he knew of the friendly relations between the two men. : \ Ar. Holmes was just coming into his house on Shater avenus as his wife was ;:nweflng “the telephone eall from . Boland. He hastened at once to the Lennen home and arrived while Dr. Cassidy Was sewing up two deep and long cuts over the injured man's temgle. Officer Michael Carroll was the one who noticed what are claimed to be blood spots on the Overcoat Mr. Holmes 'was wearing and when he had reported ‘this to Captain Tw the captain ordered ‘that Mr. ' 1Tolthes be brought to headquarters. There the captain found that a key cn the ring cartied by Mr. Holmes fitled the lock of the door at Capt. Lernen's house. To Captain Twomey, Mr. ilolmes de- nied all knowledge of the affair and explained his movements during the evening. He-said that-Ee had been in front of the Polish hall at 9.15 o'- clock. He went up Franklin street on the car on that trip and went as far as Otis st All this, it is under- stood, was corroborated by investiga- tions made by the police. Mr. Holmes said he was just com- ing into his house as nis wife was answering the telephene call from Mr. Boland asking him:to come and see Capt. Lennen. 5 Mr. Holmes explaiged the hlood spots on his overcoat snd on his gloves by saying that he got them at the captain’s house after arriving there in_response to Mr. Boland’s call, It was Captain Lennen’s helief that the man who made the attack on him had followed him in through the door when he came into the house, although he said he neither heard nor saw any- one following him. One circumstance was pointerl out in the police investigation as tending to show that the assailant of the captain ‘was in the house before the captain got there. The clectric bulb in a large drop light over the dining room table was found unscrewed so that it could not be lighted. Captain Lennen claim- ed that he never left it that way when he went out. Two deep cuts extending to the bone over the left temple and one cut under hte right eye and another at the outer side ‘of the right ey were the most serious wounds that Catain Len- nen received. The right eye was com- pletely closed. There were probably four or five more cuts on the top of the head, in the cheek and chin, none of them so severe as the first men- tioned.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE BY ENGLISH SPEAKER An audience of 150 that occupied all the seating roem in tha post hall at the Buckingham Memorial, heard with much pleasurc and interast on Thurs- du night a leeture by John W. Doorly, B, of Leeds, England, upon Chnl an Science, Man's Eternal Birthright. The lecturer cama here under the auspiced of the Norwich Christian Seience church and was introduced by E. W. Root. He spoke for about an hour, in part as follows: Christian Science accepts Christ Je- sus’ command, “Be ye therefore per- fect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” as a practical com- mand and one which he well knew could be obeyed by all who would strive to obey it. Indeed Christian ence says that if Jesus had given such a command knowing that it could not be fulfilled, his action would have been inexplicabla. Let us consider then these two questions which the world needs to solve before it can be saverd from evil. The two questions are: (1) What is God? (2) What is man? Christlan Science teaches that “God is incorporeal, divine, supreme, infi- nite mind, spiri, soul, principle, life, truth, love.” What then must man, made in God's image and likeness, be? Undoubtedly he must be incorporeal and must also be the likeness of infl- nite mind, of spirit, of soul, of prin- ciple, of life, of truth, and of love. Mrs. Eddy has blessed humanity abundantly by revealing to them that because God is divine mind, therefore all right thinking, or spiri'u:\l under- standing, is based on and emanates from this one mind, God, and is con- sequently with power. Just lay hold on this fact, that be- cause God is divine mind or is that; which knows and Lknows truly, therg- fore the {ruth we know is Immanuel or God with us. When you realize this, wou will have touched the hem of Christ’s robe. You will also have begun to realize how true happiness, true holiness, true health, and true life can be obtained and retained. The problem is therefore to sez how we can begin practically to entertain true thoughts which originate in the di- vine mind, God, or how we can hezin 5 Christ Jesus and which will deliver us from the so-called carnal mind and from its effect, mortality, with its ma- terial thinking, its sinful thoughts, ita ick thoughts, and its death thcughts. In healing disease the Christian Scientist does not have recourse to drugs, the potency of which in any case is doubtful and the effects of which are frequently worse than the disease, but he relies on the power of the divine mind, God. Is he then to be considered fanatical and nonintelli- gent because he prefers to rcly on the infinite power and intelliggnce ot that one.mind, God, rather than on human medical theories which have one effect at one time and a different effect at another time? The daily consecratlon of n Chris- tian Scientist, and his constant striv- ing to live above the human and in ac- ccrd with the divine, is and forever has been the greatest healing iniluence alone that can cleanse the leper and cause the Jame man to I»ap with juy. Let us suppose, for instance, that a man has a criminal’s countenance be- cause he has a criminal's mentality, as is often the case. If thal crimi- nal'’s mentality or his wrong thinkiag disfigured and deformed his face. could it not likewise deform his liver, or his lungs? And what would be the way to heal his liver or his lungs in guch 2 case?- Would it do any permanent good to that man to give him a dose of medicine or to perform a surgical operation on him? Wopld not his de- formed mentality still he operating to deform his liver or his lungs? Also, it wrong thinking ean disSgurc and deform & persen’s face. and we see it 2 QMY HAIR IECOIIE’S Try Grandmother's ‘DARK AND IlAU'I'IFUL Old Favorite Recipe of Sags Tea and Sulphur, Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur,' properly com- pounded, brings back the nat color -and lustre to the hair wi faded, streaked or gray.
