THE ACTORS’ CHURCH. Why It Is Called the “Little Church Around th© Corner.” The Church of the Transfiguration in New York is known far and wide, both in America and abroad, as the “Little iChurch Around the Corner. ” Years ago that admirable man and skillful actor, •George Holland, died in New York. His friends, arpong them Jefferson, applied to the minister of a certain vhurch in Madison avenue for the per formance of he funeral rite, but they were repulsed with the chilling state ment that no actors could be buried from that church. There was a little chiarch around the corner, the pastor said, where they might do such a thing. From the “Little Church Around the Corner” George Holland was buried the next day. The name thus given con temptuously has clung to the Church of ■the Transfiguration ever since, and the ■“Little Church Around the Corner’ ’ and its loved rector, the late Dr. G. H. Houghton, have stood high in the affec tion? of people and their friends for many years. The last sad xftes have been performed by Dr. Houghton over the bodies of some of I America’s greatest actors. Lester Wai- F lack, Dion Boucicault, H. J. Montague and Edwin Booth went to their graves from the “Little Church Around the Corner, ” Mid it was from there that James Lewis, long known and loved by New Yorkers, followed them only a lit tle while ago.—New York Tribune. Sick-poison is a posion which makes you sick. It comes from the stomach. The stomach makes it out of undigdfeted food. The blood gets it and taints the whole body with it. That’s the way of it. The way to be rid of it is to look after your digestion. If your food is all properly digested, there will be none left in the stomach to make sick-poison out of. If your stomach is to too weak to see to this properly by itself, help it along with a few doses of Shaker Digestive Cordial. That’s the cure of it. Shaker Digestive Cordial is a deli cious. healthful tonic cordial, made of pure medicinal plants, herbs and wine. It postively cures indigestion and prevents the formation of sick poison, , At druggists. Trial bottles 10 cents. AN ODD CONTRACT. ■A. Dying Architect Agreed to Accept a Coffin For Pay. , A remarkable arrangement has been 'entered into between Architect Andrew Smith of Tacoma, Wash., and Conrad L. Hoska, a prominent undertaker and • the coroner of Pierce county. In consid eration of Smith’s preparing plans for an addition to Hoska’s house in the fashionable north end, Hoska. on his part, agrees that this work will be ac cepted as payment for Mr. Smith’s coffin and burial expenses. Smith has a cancer of the stomach and believes that he can live but a few months longer. He is gradually grow ing weaker, as he feels daily the de pressing effects of the dreadful disease that is gnawing at his vitals. He has some money, not a large sum, and this he desires to leave to his children. Hav ing this object in view, he made a prop osition to Undertaker Hoska, which re sulted in the strange contract. .It hap pened that Hoska had been contemplat ing the erection of an addition to his home and was consequently able to pro vide Architect Smith the work he so desired. . For nine £ears Smith has been one of the most prominent architects in Ta coma. He built two or three houses in the west end for himself, intending to sell them. Then the depression came 'on, preventing sales, and financial loss resulted. Smith is about 50 years old and has a wife and three children.— Cleveland Plain Dealer. How to Cure Bilious Colic.

THE HOME TRIBUNE. BATUHDAY, NOVEMBER 27. 1897. Sleep Induced by the use of coca, opiate or nar cotic compounds is bad, decidedly bad. They undermine health and shatter constitution and the patient is steadily growing into a worse condition often resulting in the terrible slavery and misery of the cocaine and opium habit. Sleep induced by the use of Hood’s Sarsa parilla does not perhaps come as quickly, bnt it comes more surely and more per manently through nature’s great restor ing and rejuvenating channel—purified, vitalized and enriched blood.

Oue Had Assaulted a Young Lady, the Other Stole a Mute, Savannah, Nov. 26.—An unknown negro was killed by lynchers near Blackshear, his body being literally rid bled with bullets fired by a band of an gry citizens, who were pursuing him with the intention of killing him. The crime for which he paid the pen alty at the hands of Judge Lynch was a horrible one, with Miss Rebie.Davis, the 17-year-old daughter of Eli Davis, a farmer, living 7 miles north of Black ■hear, as the victim. Miss Davis was preparing supper. There was no oue else in the hou e. A negro came to the door and asked for a cup of coffee. The young lady started to get the coffee and the brute seized her by the throat and choked her into unconsciousness. As soou as Miss Da vis recovered consciousness she found that the uegro had fled, and she soon got to her family and told her story. A crowd of men followed tne negro’s trail with the result already described. Jerry Johnson, a uegro, was lynched by a mob near Screven. He was iu charge of officers, and was being taken to jail at Jesup. A crowd of armed men rode up to the officers aud de manded the prisoner. The negro was made the target for a number of rifles, and his body was literally torn, to pieces with leadeu balls. According to Mr. Grey, a merchant of Screven, the ne gro stole a mule from Mr. Popwell. J. C. Berry, one of the best known citizens of Spencer, Mo., testifies that he cured himself of the worst kind of piles by using a few buxes of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. He had been troubled with piles for over thirty years and had used many different kinds of so-called curss; but DeWitt’s was the one that did ♦he work and he will verify this state ment if any one wishes to write him.
