DYCOTT AIMED AGAINST VICAR Incurs the Enmity of the Members of His Church and Breaks With Family Special Dispatch to The Call LONDON, - March 12—Since that pe- culiar system . of social ostracism and persecution, first introduced in Ireland, added a new word to the dictionary boycotting has produced no more tragic and pathetic story than that which has Just come to light through the sulcide of one of its victims, a 14-year-old girl, the daughter of the Rev. Willlam Bry- ant of Stoke Lyne. Notwithstanding his tragic bereavement, which has evoked expressions of sympathy from all over the country, the 176 Inhabi- tants of that benighted Oxfordshire hamlet stfll continue the boycott of | their vicar with unabated vigor. None of them will enter his church; none of them will do a stroke of work for him, end he has even to prepare his own meals. What renders the case all the more remarkable is the entire absence, ap- parently, of any good reasons why he should be subjected to such cruel treat- ment. The worst that can be sald of him is that he has been unfortunate in his domestic relations and did not get along with some of his parishioners. Even his worst enemies do not accuse | him of any such moral turpitude as would justify shunning him -like a creature accursed. He declares that the boycott is the result of coercion | exercised against the parishioners by | some powerful local magnates who are | bent on @riving him from his church. And he refuses to be driven. BRILLIANT SCHOLAR. Mr. Bryant is an M. A of Oxford, a brilliant scholar and an eloquent preacher. At the two previous livings which he bad occupied he had given entire satisfaction and at one of them he had established a church institute, where he was wont to lecture on astronomy. He went to Stoke Lyne in 1892. He gave offense to some of his parishioners by refusing to permit the schoolroom attached to the church to be used for smoking concerts. He wounded the dignity of a char- ! woman who had been engaged to clean the church by telling her that he. did not consider it good manners on her part to sit down in his presence wkiie he, himself, stood. He gave offense 9 Sir Algernon and Lady Peyton by re- monstrating with a governess in their employ for remaining seated during the recital of certain portions of the church service when it is customary for all the After that Bir Algernon and Lady Peyton came no more to the church and Sir Algernon resigned his churchwardenship. So far as relates to his treatment of his parishioners, in his official capacity, these constitute the . most serious charges made dgainst him. No one would venture to affirm that such acts, | even if the worst possible construction | were placed upon them, would justify the application of a boycott more mer- —_—— The mezzanine floor is' said to hold many excellent things in water color and in miniature, but that's &nother story for another day. .

Apparen(}y it was the infelicity of Mr. Bryant's domestic relations which gave the greatest umbrage to his par- { ishioners. He married a widow with | two daughters. It is no unusual thing {for men who marry widows with ready-made famfilies to find connubial life anything but blissful. Just whose fault it was in this case isn’t clear and is desn't matter much. Both of Mr. Bryant’s stepdaughters left him, and four years ago his wife followed suit. DAUGHTER TAKES LIFE. | Rightly or wrongly Mr. T thought that it was mainly outsfileyahl:f terference which had wrecked his fam- ily life, and was injudicious enough to express the opinion from his pulpit that some one in the parish had done the mischief. That was the signal for | the application of the boycott in full force. The organist, choir, parish clerk and | all the other officials and hirelings of | the church, down to the church-:leaner, resigned and all the worshipers aban- doned their pews. The room in which | he was accustomed to hold a Sunday | school was locked against him. | After that, save for a chance way- farer or two who happened to stray in, his own little daughter, Emily, was-the only attendant at the church services. Bhe was ‘10 years old when the boy- cott against him was proclaimed. She shared his lonely life after his ser- | vants had left him. She seems to have | been a pecullarly precocious and sensi- ;tlve child, and her sympathy with her | father, rathér than the conduct of the | neighbors toward herself, personally, caused her to be as isolated as his own. She did not go to school because she could not endure to hear what other children sald about her father. In him, however, she found an able teacher, and made great progress in her studies, which were designed to fit her to enter the medical profession, but she often { complained of the loneliness of her life. She had been prepared for confirma- tion. One evening—it was the fourth anniversary of her mother's flight from the house—she asked her father if he thought a girl who had prepared for confirmation, should die before she was confirmed, would go to heaven. He replied that he- thought she would. That night she took cyanide of potas- sium and died. Then it was the vicar recognized the significance of the ques- tion. All Stoke Lyne flocked to the in- quest, where the tragic story wa# told. —— PORTION OF STOLEN JEWELRY IS LOCATED BY DETECTIVES Earrings Belonging to Clarice McCurdy- Collins Found In Market- Street _Store.

J0Y PREVAILS [N SACRAMENTO Agreement to: Compromise Bill Affecting Navigation Cause of Great Rejoicing BIG RIVER PROTECTED Company Agrees to Use Wa- ters of Stream for Irrigat- ing Only 8 Months in Year Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, March 12.—A special dispatch from Washington tonight:states that a_compromise has been reached with réspect to the diversion of water from the Upper 'Sacramento River intg, the canal of the Central Canal and Irrigation Com- pany near Colusa, by which the company agrees to take water from the river only eight months of the year and store the quantity needed for the dry season, when the river is low. It is announced that the House committee which has the bill of Congressman McKinlay under consid- eration has not yet acted upon this new phase of the matter. If such a com- promise is effected it will ‘give great satisfaction in Sacrathento, where. the preservation of the river is an object of solicitude. X Because of the presence of a navigable stream leading to tidewater almost at their doors Sacramento merchants are able to secure the same terminal rate advantages from the raliroads enjoyed by the merchants of San Francisco. Be- sides the competition aorded by river steamers has had the effect of keeping down freight rates on grain from. the Upper Sacramento Valley to the bay, and anything which would threaten to impede navigation at all seasons to the farthest possible reaches of the great river would be looked upon with disfavor. The Sacramento Chamber of Commerce passed resolutions Saturday night favor- ing the canal project, but insisted that the War Department should have the say as to whether the diversion of the water would in any way impede navigation. It is conceded that the irrigation of Glenn and Colusa countles would open up a new and fertile empire in the northern part of the State and now|that an agreement has been rached whereby this may be accomplished without possible injury to the river in its low stages there will be rejoicing not only among the valley farm- ers, but also among the river men .who carry their produce to market.
