Pvnnl. Full 81x90 inches, ready made bleach ea eets, worth each construction of the organ in the morning, and found that removal of a long leather flap, covering a series of openings, would make it invpossible to pump air Into the reeds. This flap opened Inward to let air Into the bellows, and lay hard against he openings when the air was under pressure. With the chlsjl, Stephen pulled out 'the tacks hi the stick by which tine leather strip was fastened, let the strip drop to the -hot torn of the organ, and tacked the stick ot wood back Jti Us place. Then, going- outside the onto pel.

he. cut tihe vines on the building near the roots. "I did not do itihW because I had any grudge against the colle-ge or the faculty." Stephens explains. "I wanted to show that Tandaitam was rampant, and lead people to believe tihat Pardee hall wae 'burned by the aajne persons who cut the vines and injured the organ. I wanted people to see that t'hat man War-neid could not govern the The next morning at chapel it was found -that the organ woua-d not work.

The organist was Charles Zimmerman. '99, of Duncannon, iwho has rooms In Newklrk hall. Zimmerman and Stephwns were very good friends. No one could ite-U what was wrorar with the organ, until one of Ohe men from the factory came to look fit over. He repaired the damage in a minute.

The Indignation at this act was Increased by the iae -next day ithat the vines ihad been cut. Some students haxl been suspended, aa4 there -was a suspicion that they were the guilty onee. In the Bight of January 25 Stephens came doiwn from his farms near Montrose and went up to the chapel again. The next day was the day of prayer for co-lieges, and services were to be held in the chapel. Stephens went into the chapel, collected the hymn books in the pews and carried them and the pulpit Bible out to a pump near by.

Lifting the flooring off the top of the well, he dumped the Bible and the hymn books down in the well. Some days after that some one pumped pink water from the well. An investigation was made, and down In the bottom were found the water soaked books. The red edges of the hymn books had colored the water. President Warfleld believed that this work had been done by some students.

The studnts took a hand In the Investigation. At a mass meeting James K. Gear-heart was made president and directed to appoint an investigating committee. Stephens made another trip to, Easton on the night of May 17, four months after the hymn book affair. He brought with him in a satchel a tin box full of tar.

He 'went again to the chapel. He first opened up the origan and poured tar on the reeds and on the keys. Then he went Into the pulpit and opened the new Bible. Holding the tar box in one hand and 'the leaves of the Bible in the other he poured the tar on the leaves as he ran his thumfo along their edges. Then going down into the pews he emptied what tar he had left on the seats.

Next morning at chapel President Warfleld and everyone was highly indignant. The investigation was renewed. Meanwhile District Attorney James W. iPox, Prof. Francis A.

March, and County Detective Jacob Johnson had (been at work on the case. Johnson Is a sharp detective. One day ha met Proles-sor March down town. "Professor," he said, "did it ever occur to you that Stephens was the man we're looking for?" "Impossible," explained Professor March. "Not impossible at all.

Stephens has a grudge against Warfleld, hasn't he? Well, Stephens broke the organ, cut the vines, pitched the hymn books in the well and tarred the chapel. What is he doing with Burley's key to the chapel? And what was he doing near the railroads around midnight not long ago?" Even Professor March had to concede that Stephens might 'be the man, but it seemed utterly impossible. voung Z.m-merman was asked albout Stephens. Z.m-merman thought it absurd to connect Stephens' name with the crimes. He said that he had come to call on him and had denounced Warlie'd, but he had heard make no threats.

Joonon persisted. One of the campus laborers, Quintus Messinger, -was detailed to remain at night in the chapel. Saturday night the dramatic association gave a play in the opera house and the campus was deserted. The next day was baccalaureate Sunday. Messlnger was crouched on the pulpit steps of the chapel with a piece of gard-sn hose as a cudgel between 10 and 11 when he heard a key in tne chapel door.

Messing-or grew nervous. He heard the door open and then the heav tread of a man coming up the aisle. It was pitch dark; Messiug-r could nothing. He knew that Bomebody bent on mischief coming right at him. The watchman jumped up, threw -the -piece of hose into this darkness, gave a "whojp" that must have stopped the beating of the intruder's heart and started on a run for the belfry.

Tlie intruder turned in the opposite direction and ran down the aisle. In turning for the door he turned too soon and fell headlong against a pew, smashing the partition and bruising his head. He jumped out of the pew and shot out of the door. Messinger c.imotd down from the belfry when the intruder had disappeared. The chapel door was open and th key was still in the lock.

The watchman stumbled over a basket near the door. He picked it up and lighting a match found that it was a sma-ll grape basket containing eleven rotten, (SS packed in crushed corn. The next uay he re-ported his night's adventure to -the district attorney. The key was recognized by Buriey as the one he had loaned Stephens. Zimmerman had received a letter from -Stepnens on Saturday.

Step'hens wrote that he would be here late Saturday night and -thai Zimmerman should be sure to leave room door in Newkirk hail open. When Zimmerman reached hie room Stephens was in bed. He noticed that Stephens' collar and shirt were wet and rumpled. "Lt was very hot in the train," Stephens replied. On Monday morning he went over to Duncannon to see about getting a placs as principal of the high school there.

Detective- Johnson went up to Zimmerman's-, room and took possession of a sachel and a dress suit case Stephens had left. In the sachel wre found a chisel and a knife and a tar stain and an egg stain. On Wednesday Constable Doran went Up to Duncannon with a warrant fVw Stephens' arrest. He found him at Zimmerman's home. He took his prisoner to Harrisburg for the night and on Thursday morning brought him to Easton.

Two boys were in the cell with Stephens rn the Harrisburg Jail. The sang some popular slangs and then sang "Nearer. My God. to Thee." Stephens joined with them and ang it over and over. Before the boys -went to sleep Stephens knelt down and the bays knUt with ilm, while he prayed for them.

When he left the next morning one of the boye said: "We want to see you when we get out. You did us lots of good." Stephens was taken to the office of District Attorney Fox. "Can I see some of my friends?" ho asked. "AH you like," the district attorney told him. He first asked to see Zimmerman, then.

Professor March and last the Rev. Charles Schall, a Princeton man, pas-tor of the church Stephens attended in Easton. "What shall I do?" he asked the clergyman. "If you have committed these crimes for the sake of your soul's salvation make a clean breast of them." "I he answered with a sob. "I am going (o make a statement." he said, when he and the clergyman rejoiced the district attorney and the others who were in the outer office.

"But I propose to give my reasons for doing these things. I want Professor Owen and Mr. Fox. your brother, here," 'Prof. William B.

Owen and Edward J. Fox, a trustee of the college, were sent 81RED PARDEE HALL TO GET EVE WITH THE PRESIDENT. IS A MORAL DEGENERATE Brilliant Scholar Rroomri a Criminal I'nder Prcnllar and Ula-t I Ctream- tr.ncra. Oecmgre Herbert Stevens, 'the Lafayette college Incendiary, la a strange type of ho moral degenerate. The student of criminology -will probably find in ithe tory of -the crimes of This youirs college professor, who sought to de-atroy the college a Easton, that -he might ruin Its president, a study of absorbing Interest.

Stephens is a striking example of he unsymmetriciliy developed men. One of t'he nrost brilliant stu'lns ever graduated from Princeton, a Green Fellow in mental -par. lose-, ay. he fine moral trnatintsts of the s.ivie. That a man who was to devote his I 3 to teaching of log-ij and ethics, and who won choTastlc distinction as a student of reasoning and was competent to discuss matters of right and wrong In human conduct, aho-irid give all his energy to the- carrying out of a vlllalin's plan of revenge for fancied wrongs, seems incredible.

His crimes were not those of a maniac, out of a sane man Whose in-born nature, left free 'to grow like a noxious weed, became too strong 'to foe controlled by reason. That tfhe crimes which are known publicly were not the only nrarrifestaitions of his degeneracy is the common talk -in Daston. Stephens was appointed an Instructor of ethics and logic at Lafayette in the summer of 1S93. He was then a graduate student ait Princeton, raking special work In the theological seminary. PresMent Warfleld of La-f aycitte.

himself a Prlncs-ton man. 'had heard of t'he "brilliant work young Stephens was and fhoug'rrt rrmt he would become one of the most valuable members of "the faculty. A year later Stephens was appointed an associate professor for 'two years. Before the end of the second year the president told tephens that'his work was not satisfactory, and that Shis contract would not be renewed. But he consented 'to give the young man another trial.

Stephens began addressing meetings of the students, denouncing the president as a hypocrite. He talked about t'he mafter to everyone he met on the campus and in town, wrote letters to the trustees, and caused a sutr all through the prirtg term. "Sany prominent persons in town took sides with Stephens, for, tike nearly all college presidents. Dr. Warfleld ttiad enemies.

Many of the students also sided with Stephens and signed a petition to t'he trustees to reinstate mm. By commencement time the college was In an uproar over t'he Warfleld-Stephens controversy, as it was called, although the president took no notice of the disorderly professor. The trustees, at their commencement meeting, granted Stephens an hour's hearing. He prepared a statement of his case whica would fill a page of this paper. The trustees did not de-bate 'Che question.

Stephens was told t'hat 'he must leave trie college. Stephens tried to get a place in some other college, but the story of his conduct at Lafayette was too well known to make it probable that he could secure employment. Stephens Imagined that t'he reason 'he could not get employment v. as that Warfleld was working against him. Il'is 'hatred for 'him Increased.

He remained a long while in Easton. for no other purpose, it seemed, than to bother President Warlield. Taen he went to the home of his father and mother in Heart Lake, Sus'iudnannii county. In fhe fall, despairing of rinding a position as a teacher, he took Cnarge of three farms in which he had an interest. He led a life of seclusion, and rooded over his troubles at Lafayette.

He sought revenge. To reduce viartiilJ to the position he himself occupied was his only thoug'ht. Stephens conceived the plan of I'lirulng the college buildings one by one, until a demand would be made to remove President Warfleld; The president, he thougnt. would be held indirectly responsible for a series of tires, for it would be held that the students tired the buildings to spite the president. Stephens decided that the first building he would burn would be the great stone building known as Pardee hall, the gift of Ario Pardee.

Pardee hall overlooks the valley in which the town of Easton lies, and can be seen miles away. Its original cost was nearly $300,000. In it was the college library and a number of laboratories, containing collections which could not be replaced. Stephens went to New York and topped at the Mills hotel. On the night of December 17 he put on an old hat and took a train for Easton.

He turned up his coat collar, pulled down his hat. and walked hurriediy through the side streets up to Pardee hall. Going into the library, he took several Valuable books from shelves and buttoned them under his coat. Then he wont into the biological laboratory, gathered all the chairs, tables and matting, and piled them up In a heap in the centre of the room. He took the motto, "Study Nature, Not Books," from the wall and laid it on top.

He took a long piece of rubber tubing, fixed one end to a gas jet and the other to a Bunsen burner. He placed the burner under the pile, turned on the gas and lighted the burner with matches he had brought from the Mills hotel. He hurriedly made his down the hill and across the town. It was 2 o'clock in the morning and bitterly cold when he reached the Delaware railroid bridge, connecting Easton and Philips-burg. Stephens waited a long while on the bridge to see the northern sky liijht up.

In daylight Pardee hall can be seen from this bridge. After waiting an hour without seeing any lig'ht. Stephens decided that the fire had gone out, and he Ftarted on to Philfpsburg. He went to a little hotel named the Columbia, and registered as "Aaron Snyder. Seranton." He went to his room, but he could not sleep.

He stood at the window waiting for the flames to come up. An hour before daybreak he saw a light in one of the west windows, then In another and another. In a moment he knew that Pardee hall was burning up. He took a train for New York at once. PaJ-dee ball was saved from deetruc-fctoin.

and wkih the insurance money burned wt -wirvg- was rebuilt. No one pugyes ted that the building had been st on fire. It was that started In an Incubator under which a fire was kapt burning lmes. Stephens waa His expectation was that -the work would be charged to iacendiar-iB. Early in the week following Steph-! er.

returned to Easton, He went up on College ihaU and looked at the ruins of Pardea ihall. The sight pleased him, he iow says. Buit 'he had another purpose for coming. He found Thomas Buriey, tire colleg janitor. "Buriey." tie said, "let me take your chapai key." "What do you want to do? Play on the organ 7" "Yes." "Where Is your asked Burleji, "You are not comnkeoted With the college, and you aught to bring It back." "I haven't got It." answered Stephens, fumbling In his pockets.

Stephens went In aod played a while on the organ, and then came out aarain. Buriey was not around and Stephens kept he key. Late that -night he returned to the chapel, raking with him a chisel and a knife. He Trent into the chapel and opened ttlre organ, -which stands Just under tine pulpit, Stephens bad studied the tees here," he said. Stephens went into a long discussion of his controversy with President Warfleld.

"That man is a liar and a hypocrite," he said. "I found he was not a safe man to be Intimate with. I -resolved to ruin him." Then he told how he had come to Easton on night trains, arid stole up to the campus to desecrate the chapel. "They were taking the underpinning out from under a barnj- one day in May," he explained, "and found some rotten eggs. I said to myself, 'I'l put those on Warfleld's pulpit." I laid them aside for several weeks, and then packed t-hem in a 'basket to bring them down.

Oh! My God! to think that I went into that chapel to desecrate the pulpit where I had read the great truth." The young man sobbed as if his heart would break. Detective Johnson went out of the room. The strain was too great for him. When Stephens had told all about the chapel desecrations the district attorney asked: "Have you anything more to tell ua, Stephens?" "Oh, there's another horror yet to come," he moaned. "Schall, let me speak to you," he said, when he was calm again.

He put his lips close to the young clergyman's ear and whispered: "I burned Pardee hall." Then he broke into sot's again. In turn he whispered the same thing to his friends, Zimmerman and Professor Owens. "Where's Johnson?" he asked suddenly. The detective was out in the hall. When he came in Stephens took his ha-nd and held it.

"Mr. Johnson," he said, "you ran me down and I want to have you hear me. I burned Pardee hall. My God! I must have been insane. I could not have done It in my right mind." And then he told the whole story of the night of December 17, and in the middle of his story stopped to discuss Dr.

Davison's motto. "Study Nature, Not Books." When he had made his confession he said he was going to burn South college next Christmas. It was one of most remarkable confessions ever made by criminal. Stephens told his friends that he wanted no trial. He was guilty of the crimes and would take the law's penalty.

General Reeder, former secretary of the commonwealth, and President James of the Easton Trust company have talked with tSephens at the Jail, and he may yet decide to stand trial. New York Sun. In a Street Car. It isn't every one who can have a fascinating yourig; woman sit upon his knee in a street car in broa-i daylight without embarrassment on his part. It was my dinner hpur.

and as I had 'been in the city all day, my appetite was fty all odds the biggest part of me, and I "was in a hurry to get home. Jt was 4:30, and the car was crowded. There -was Just a seat and a half left unoccupied, and, according to the usual generosity of mankind. I hastened to secure the integral part, leaving The remainder to the next unfortunate. My dreams of hot chocolate and boiled ham a happy combination were soon disturbed by the entrance of two fair damsels.

One of them, a fair-haired, blue-eyed maiden, cast her eyes about the car (looking- for a seat, I suspect) until I began to fear she would break the windows with them. Finally she spied tn small space 'by my side, and, accompanied by her friend, approached and gently let herself down into it. squeezing an old woman with a basket up against the stove. I had a sort of inward feeling that she wanted me 'to get up and let her friend have my seat, tout somehow I Ibecame intensely Interested in a newspaper that I happened to have with me a newspaper is a nice thinK to have in such cases and I forgot all about it. "Never mind, Mayme; you can sit down on my lap," I overheard the fair one say.

I always thought a girl could discriminate between a woman's lap and a man's, but I ee that I was led from the path of wisdom in my early days. "Mayme" proceeded to comply with her friend's- invitation, but wasn't looklns for What happened. She sat h-irslf down' on One knee of the lady beside me and on two of mine. I was sorry that I couldn't accommodate her wl some more knees, but I hadn't an supply with me. You know -those big sleeves thit the women were wearing.

of course? I wouldn't have minded it fo much if she hadn't stuck them rig-ht into my face. It rather placed a chill upon my enjoyment of the occasion; ithen. one doesn't 'have such a pretty creature to sit upon his lap every day in the week, and on a street car at that, so I tried fo overlook it. In fact, by stretching my neck a trifle I did look over It. If I hadn't ben so tormented hungry I would have ridden ta the extreme end of the line rather than to disturb her restful attitude, for "where iennranc; is miss, 'tis better to remain ignorant." But attitude b-r no, I had to feet off pretty soon, and besides, she began to become' heavy.

I squirmed around a bit. but shs didn't seem to notice it. although the newspaper artist opposite me did. and me to keep still until he pe-by fijset drawn. They were sticking out from und-eT her flowing skirts her own, and I suppose the 'conductor-who used to be the manager of a dime museum in Michigan, was rhimklna; about long-lost opportunities, et cetera.

I was growing desperate. I never had such a case on my hands before or on my knees, more properly speaking. I had to get off at the next square, and unless she voluntarily removed hers lf from my lower appendages I should certainly have to make her feel I wasn't embarrassed myself, as said at the beginning. But the fates were against me. for on she sat, or.

to Ibe more lucid, she sat on me and a good 130 pounds gets to be quite a load when you don't have a chance to shift about occasionally. Madam," I said, timidly, "1 have to get on here." "Well," she replied, over the top of her sleeve, rather suspiciously I thought, I'm not 7iindering you." "Really, ma'am, I have enjoyed this ride with you immensely, but "How dare you. she exclaimed. "But you are sitting upon my knees," I said tenderly, as I thoug'ht of the mutilated creases in my trousers. Well! If you could have seen the Jump which that lady made, you would have classed her immediately as one of thos modern feminine athletic enthusiasts.

I don't know what followed; I didn't wait to see, but like a man who suddenly thinks of a forgotten engagement. I hustled off the car and finally reached 'home, where I ate a tremendous dinner without speaking once, much to the wonderment of my good Aunt Jane. All this haippened quite a number of months ago, and the young lady is now helping me to spend that J6 a week. Queer coincidence, isn't It? But then, this would be a queer world, indeed, if it wasn't so queer as it Is. with its queer people and queer coincidences.
