mm in the HOME OF THE SISTERS OF THE EPIPHANY AT TRURO Sleepy Catherlr.il Town in Cornwall, Where Titled Women Sometimes Find Rest. SHE IS STILL A PRISONER But Enjoys the Freedom of the Large Grounds Surrounding the Convent. LONDON, Feb. 1-Mn. Maybrick la serving out the laut few months of her life sentence for the killing of her husband in the- quiet country home of the Sisters of the Epiphany at Truro. Cornwall, under an assumed : mi. Sh- is guarded from communirütion with the outside world as Jealously as if she were still in Aylesbury prison. Though the fresh Cornwall air is bringing the color back to her cheeks, the strain of Imt fourteen years of imprisonment, commencing with the imposition of th- ! ulh sentence, passed under the severe discipline of various prisons, is still evident in her careworn look. This, however, is th- only outward sign she shows of her ordeal. Even the sisters, with whom she associates, and the servants have no idva that she really Is Mrs. Maybrick. She wears an ordinary black dress with s white frill at the throat. She occupies a pleasant, simply furnished room in the home, and rises at 6 o'clock eat h morning. Though a free agent In many ways, she is obliged to conform to the strict discipline of the convent. 8he takes her meals in silence, and is not allowed to converse except cn religious topics during the day. At tea time, when, for an interval, the sisters are permitted to talk of mundane things, Mrs. Maybrick retires to her own room. She must be in bed by 9 o'clock. No newsparers are allowed h-r and only such books as are given to her by the sisters. At first newspapers ware surreptitiously supplied her, but it was discovered and a sevtre r primand followed. Durir.g part of the day Mrs. Maybrick works in silence In the sewing room with the sisters, who make all their own clothing. Last Sunday she attended service in the Truro Cathedral and has been allowed to walk about the town accompanied by one of the sisters. PASSES AS A VISITOR. Mrs. Maybrick Is supposed to be recovering from an attack of influenza and passes merely as or.o of manj visitors to the sisterhood who pay for their accommodation. She will remain in charge of t! ! r until she is released next July, though prior to that time, when the weather Improves, she will be removed probably to a convalescent home under the same management, which is situated in one of the wildest spots of tho Cornisn coast. In her present sanctuary Mrs. Maybrick appears to be comparatively happy. The changes from prison fare and discipline Is almost as complete as the perfect freedom Of the large, beautifully-kept grounds surrounding the sisterhood buildings, which overlooks the sleepy little cathedral town of Truro, where the breezes sweep from the Cornish moors and roast. Many members of the English aristocracy sre inmates of the home. The mother suEertor of the sisterhood is the Hon. Miss alrymple, while several other sisters, under only their Christian names, conceal well-known patronymics. The Sisterhood of the Epiphauy constantly receives within its walls titled women mho wish to Mud a temporary rest from the world In a religious retreat, and hence Mrs. Maybrlck's arrival caused no comment. She was driven from the Truro Railway station to the home in Miss Dalrymple'a private carriage and remained In strict Incognito for nearly a fortnight. The acting mother superior Is one of the few who know of the Identity of the visitor, and she guards her from all interviews with a vigilance worthy sn old-time abbess. This sister refused to convey a letter or a message to Mrs. Maybrick from the representative of the Associated Press. A rescue home for fallen girls and a laundry for their employment is carried on in connection with the Epiphany coifvent, and until now the sisters who knew of Mrs. Maybrick's identity have evaded inquiries regarding her by saying that she was not In the rescue home. This Is correct, as Mrs. Maybrick has nothing to do with this department of the convent. Mrs. Maybrlck's somewhat anomalous status was explained as follows to the Associated Press representative by one of the chief officers of the Epiphany order: "Mrs. Maybrick is still a prisoner; she has not even been released on ticket of leave. Those In charge of her are her jailers and all communication with her is forbidden except through the home secretary." These appear to be textually the official Instructions which accompanied Mrs. Maybrick on her departure from Aylesbury prison. No prison warden is with Mrs. Maybrick. the listers being implicitly Intrusted with her safe keeping. This arrangement Is generaly regarded as constituting an unprecedented indulgence to a prisoner. The Baronesa De Roques will, it ia said, come to Truro later in order that she may be near her daughter. SAYS BIBLE IS VOID OF LITERARY. MERIT Prof. R. G. Moulton, of Chicago University, Likens the Old Version to a Scrap Book. BOSTON. Feb. . The Bible was likened to a scrap book to-day by Prof. Richard G. Moulton. of the University of Chicago. In a lecture on "The Bible as Literature." Professor Moulton said: "The old versions of the Bible present the book in one monotonous arrangement of numbers, chapters and vers., not distinguishing literary forms and often runningcou iter to them. It effaces all forms of literary structure, and it presents the appearance not so much of a sacred bock of revelations as of a divine scrap book. The Bible Is the worst print, d book In the world. It Is well printed as regards type, paper and binding, but in It all literary forms have been destroyed. The revised versdon Is but a step in the direction of a true literary' form, with which the version of the future will have to d .. Iron Matter Ottvwl Is er liefe, PITTSIJT H;. Feb. .Henry W.

Feb. 6. -The officials of the State Department are giving serious attention to the course the United States shall iursue in the event of war beween Russia and Japan. There is little doubt JMpg flt Li Is of the department that war will ensue and every precaution is being taken to see to it that the interests and all rights of this Nation in the vicinity of the proposed theater of war are fully protected, it is .isxered that representations have been made to Russia that the present activity of the United States In Manchuria are solely for i,rnmerlal purposes and tOM making effective the recent treaty between this Nation and China, and that on no account is It proposed by this government to establish any claims upon territory in that province, but that it will be content with the commercial foothold which the treaty ports of Mukden and Antung shall give. There is no donbt, also, that this government has represented to Russia that we are very friendly to Japan, yet It will be the purpose of this government to maintain a strict neutrality, notwithstanding the earnest desire felt by this government that Korea should be controlled by Japan rather than by the absolutism of the Russian government. At preBtnt even, and certainly in the event of war, no steps will be taken by this government, the officials here say, to make any demonstration in the Yellow sea, but it is the purpose to watch with care any disposition on the part of Russia to adopt a policy of seizing American exports destined for China proper or Manchuria treaty ports as contraband of war. This government will Insist upon its right to continue amicable treaty relations with China even In the midst of war all around her between Russia and Japan. Representative Hemenway to-day made an argument before the War Department officials for the construction of a dam in the Ohio river below Evansville. He spoke to the board of army officers who recently held hearings at Evansville and collected much data relative to the improvement of the Ohio. It will probably be several weeks before the board will submit its report to the secretary of war. Mr. Hemenway a No spoke in favor of the improvement of the Wabash to Vlncennes. 4 A. A.

The probabilities are that the lighthouse board will make a favorable report on the bill Introduced by Representative Crumpacker appropriating $10.000 for the construction of a light station at Indiana Harbor. The representative and A. D. Erskine took the matter up to-day with members of the board. The matter has been referred to the local officials at Chicago, who have been directed to make an examination and report. -f Russell King, of Indianapolis, left for home to-day. 4 Senator Beveridge to-day had an extended conference with a large delegation of statehood boomers from Indian Territory and Oklahoma. Joint statehood was urged by the callers, among whom were several men of wealth. Senator Beveridge Indicated that no statehood legislation could be expected st this session.

Joseph Brnckmnn and Fred Drockelman substitutes on the rural free delivery service at Hatesville, Ind.; also Milton S. Boleriack and Eva R. Boleriack at Columbia City. The War Department will not reconsider its decision relative to the improvement of the upper Wabash river. The report of the local ngiueer that the lower stretch .shall be Improved before money is expended on the upper Wabash Is indorsed by the engineer officers. f A political conference was participated in at the Whit House to-day by the President, Senators Cullom and Hopkins, Representatives Lorimer and T. N. Jamison, of Illinois. There has been some friction between the administration and leaders In Illinois Republican politics and it is believed the conference was for the purpose of removing this, although no one ut the conference would say anything ou the subject. The Postofflce Department to-day announced that nil rural free delivery carriers In the United States will have a holiday Feb. 25. Washington's birthday. There are approximately 20,000 of these carriers. T I,ee M. Welburn. of Michigan City, has been designated a member of the civil service board at that place. J. E. M. PAY FOR CONFEDERATES.

ROBERT J. WYNNE. Who Testified at the Postal Fraud Trial Testenlay. E TESTIFIES IN THE LORENZ Says He Suspected Machen Long Before He Had Any Proof on Which to Base Action. HIS ACTS INVESTIGATED WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. -Just before the postal trial was resumed to-day. Justice Pritchard held another conference with counsel on both sides. Mr. Kumler. representing the Lorenzes complained that he had received a letter intimating that improper proposals had been made to certain members of the Jury, injurious to the defendants. What conclusion was reached at the conference was not disclosed. When the trial proceeded Mrs. Lorenz was briefly examined, her testimony relating solely to the Identification of her signature on the back of four checks issued to her husband by D. B. Groff. D. F. Grolf was recalled and produced a number of checks which had been asked for by the government, which he had drawn in payment for fasteners since any money was received by him from the government. First Assistant Postmaster General Wynne was recalled. He admitted he had approved expenditures recommended in Machen's office of $110,332. Among the items was one for Groff fasteners, covering an expenditure of $M12. Questioned by Mr. Purdy for the government, Mr. Wynne said that his approval to the papers was based on Machen' s initials. When he had his suspicions of Machen in December, 1902, that he (Machen) was not to be trusted, Mr. Wynne 'said he had no proof on which to base them. Answering Mr. Douglass, Mr. Wynne said ho acted on Machen's recommendation after he began to suspect him. "I acted on it," said Mr. Wynne, "because I knew every act of his and of mine would be Investigated." He said he himself had been as much under Investigation as anybody In the office. "It did not reach the public ear, did it?" inquired Mr. Douglass. "1 think not," answered Mr. Wynne. "Suspicion rested on you, too, then?" wns the next query. 'I am proud to say It did not." promptly replied the witness, who added that he himself asked for the investigation He did not, he said, know that in April, 1H03, postofflce inspectors had quietly Investigated his acts. An adjournment at noon was taken until Tuesday. Iotvii Kxploslon Investigation. WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 As soon as the Iowa arrives at the New York navy yard, for which port she is now bound.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. - Twenty-four midshipmen of the fourth class at Annapolis are to be dropped from the naval service, the academic board having reported them deficient in their studies.
