Kansas City Times.
A most extraordinary and dramatic
scene was enacted at St. Mary's Church
yesterday morning. The disgraced
rector, with brazen effrontery and de
spite threats of violence, boldly donned
the sacredotal robes, and to the out
rage of decency performed the sacred
rites of the cbnrch.
The audience, one of the largest ever
in the church since Jardine came to it,
and which included a number of well-
known young men of the city, testified
their disapproval by stamping and de-

sbonts of laughtei
The crowd began to assemble long
before the hour for service, and by 11
o’clock the church was filled to its ut
most capacity. Tho only ladies pres
ent were a half-dozen female members
of his flock. Two or three policemen
had been stationed in the rear of the
church at the solicitation ot the rector,
and the vestry were present *
force armed with revolvers, in antici
pation of a fray. Father Jardine bad a
brace ot revolvers strapped about his
waist underneath his priestly gown, de
termined to resist to the last any at
tempt to remove him by force.
A short time before the service be
gan, he walked through the church as
if to determine the poise of the au
dience. He had scarcely disappear!
in the sacristy before & boy clad f
white rol>e came oat and burned __
cense in front of the altar. The choris
ter headed by a small boy bearing
aloft an immense gilt cross, appeared
at the south door of the church and
marching slowly down the middie aisle
took their places in the chancel. A
chant was then sung, at the conclusion
of which .Tardine came ont of the sac
risty clad in priestly vestments and
proceeded with the service. At his ap
pearance Mr. Joseph Sherlock, who
was in the rear of the cbnrch, was
heard to exclaim audibly. “The devil
is now bowing before the altar." The
audience remained perfectly quiet until
in repeating the decalogue he read the
seventh commandment. “Thou ihalt
not commit adultery/' when he wai
greeted with a storm of derisive laugh
ter, stamping of feet, and cries oi
“Rats." “Rats.”
He was evidently prepared for this
outburst, which lasted several minutes
as the only effect it produced on bite
was to cause the lines about his mouth
to deepen and his naturally pale face to
grow paler. As soon as quiet had been
in a measure restored he proceeded in
a firm voice and with a peculiar empha
sis to read: “Thon shalt not bear false
witness." This did not have the ef
fect he intended and was received with
hisses. The commandment, “Thou
shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife,”
called for thunderous applause, which
exceeded in violence the demonstration
which had proceeded it. The rest of
the service passed off without interrup
tion until he began preaching.
All through the sermon tho speaker
constantly interrupted by stamp
ed where he denounced those who be
lieved him guilty as ignorant, preju
diced louts, and when he posed as a
martyr, in a good cause.
Thus ended one of the most extraor
dinary scenes ever witnessed in any
cbnrch. It was an exhibition of the
indignation which exists in Kansas
City against the polluted priest—»i
indignation which may be differently
ixpressed by.other people, bnt which
s so deeply fieit that it-cannot here-
strained. A remarkable incident of
yesterday's demonstration , is the fact
that although never*! policemen were
present at the solicitation of Jardine,
not a l single effort was‘ made by them
to prevent the occurrence of a distur
bance, which in any other church would
have subjected the .participants to
speedy arrest and prosecution.
In the evening there was a simili
disturbance. - * After the benediction wi
pronounced the crowd still loitered
about the church. -Somebody cried
ont: “He’s in tho apankistry," and
the people rnshed to the sacred spot.
Hundreds of men gathered there, curi
ously gazing at the modest building.
The police were in and l among them,
icy found no intimation of
lcnce.
soon.as Jardine had doffed his
robes he reappeared in the church
mediately in front of the chancel,where
several of his lady friends awaited him.
The crowd, which now numbered only
1,000 people, catching sight of him
through the windows, swarmed around
the Eighth atraet entrance, rendering
egress in that- direction impossible.
Jardine appeared very mnch disturbed
by tho clamor of the crowd, and Beating
gown aad plaoed them-on his lap. His
vestrymen who surrounded him would
occasionally shift the position of their
revolvers, which wsraconeealed in their
pockets. Tbs priest finally put up his
revolvers, and the police-escorted him
from the church.

sion the treaty.
The war of 1812 between the United
States and Great Britain was ended by
a treaty signed December 24,1814, at
Ghent* and the battle of New Orleans
was fonght after the treaty.
There was*a time in the negotiations
when Messrs. Clay, Bayard and Gal
latin thought they wonld have to oome
home and report failure. The Britiah
government, through her commiasion-
ere, wonld not yield the point aa to the
right of search for British sailors on
American vessels. Mr. Clay wanted
to insist on having that clause in the
treaty, at the* war was fonght on that
^nsns principally.
iHoa Wm. H. Crawford, af Georgia,
•waa at ; the time minister to Franco, and
Mr. Clay wrote at sent a messenger to
him for his advice in the matter.
Mr. Crawford said: “Sign tho treaty
without that danse—make no issne
upon it."
The treaty, was signed, and Mr.
Clay, meeting Mr. Crawford in Wash-
him he was strack with his ap
pearance, and remarked: “There is a
great man." Mr. Crawford was plain
and simple in his manners, and never
pat on any airs of dignity or snperi-
otity.
Will Power Cares.
Will power, as well as imagination,
baa much to do with the enrea that are
•fleeted in some cases. The late Isaac
Toney, who was Secretary of the Navy
under President Buchanan, and previ
ously a Senator, was a man of strong
will power. Many yeare ago hie horses
became frightened on Bolton mountain
and ran away. He was thrown out and
'along the street. Two or three
Sorgeone from this city
and found him in a very dangerous
condition. Bnt, “No,” he whispered,
'I shall recover." He did recover, and
his will power carried him through. A
physician of this city, not now living,
stated to ns soma years since that he
once had a peculiar case. An elderly
lady wm remarkably nervous. She im
agined that her heart, lunge and liver
were all disordered. Yet be found them
sound. She had no organic disease,
except nervousness, ana that was
enough. “I can cure yon," said the
physician; “I understand the case."
Be gave her six bread pills—not a
particle ot medicine in them. He said:
“Take one to-night, one to-morrow
night, half one each night the next
two nighta. Then split the others in
quarters, and take one fourth of a pill
every morning till all are used up—
bnt do not, on any aeooant take any
more on any day than I have ordered;
It will be dangerous. Bnt by followirg
my directions precisely, yon will be
entirely well when all the
taken."
The woman had faith in him and
got well. Will power has mnch
fire. He tried again, and again, thore
vm no discharge. Captain Garrison’s
datol lay near at hand, and ho might
lave shot his assailant dead, bnt he
made no movement in that direction.

how much true love there would be in

could gb back through the gloaming;
if I dould stand,-again under the old
oak tree that grew beside the spring;

Sixth Avenne drinking places, where
fashionable women resort, has
lated a Chicago reporter to m
qniries into tho methods adopted by
the bibulous ladies of that city, when
they seek to satisfy their cravings for
stimulants. He has discovered that
many confectionary shops and restau
rants have private rooms "for ladies
only," where drinks of all descriptions
served without stint. He says be
seen young ladies scarcely ont of
their teens emerging from these places
in a state of inebriety that verged npon
total oblivionsness. A restanrantenr
told him that many ladies of wealth
and good position were among his pat-
rone. To inch an extent in this car
ried that tbe cabmen always drive their
vehicles np in front of these places in
tbe afternoon, knowing that they will
not have to wait long for a customer.
A prominent “confectioner” said
the reporter: “I’ve had as many
ten ladies at one time in my npper p
lore, none cf them able to walk across
the room. Wha; do I do with ’em?
Let ’em alone, refute them more wine,
and give them all the appollinari* and
lemon they’ll drink, and send them
home at the proper timr "

A Knotty Problem.
A duel was fonght in Texas by Alex-,

was shot and Shott wasm.t. In this
case it wm better to be Sbott than *
Nott. There was a rumor that Nott
shot, and Shott avow* that ho -
shot not, which provea that the shot
Shott shot at Nott was not shot, or
that Nett wm shot notwithstanding.
Circumstantial evidence is not always
good. It may be made to appear on
trial the shot Shott shot Nott, or, as
accidents with firearms are frequent, it
may he possible that the shot Shott
shot shot Nott himfeif, when the whole
thing resolves itself into its original;
element, and Shott wonld bo shot and
Nott wonld be not. We think, how
ever, that the shot Shott Bhot shot not
Shott, butNott. Anyway it was hard
to tell who was shot, Nott or Shott;
