was shot od the quarter deck of bis

A Test That Caught.
The following extraordinary coinci
dence occurred at Tinwald recently: A
young preacher, who has lately mar
ried, was planned to take the morning
service, but, by a misreading of the
plan, he mistook his appointment for
'an evening one. Consequently the con
gregation gathered on the Sunday
morning waited In vain for his appear
ance. Thereupon one of the office bear
ers of the church present undertook
the service. Totally unaware that the
absent preacher had recently married,
he electrified and amused his audience
by announcing as his text. “He has
married a wife, and therefore he can
not come.”—New Zealand Herald.

Jasper, Georgia, Friday January, 4, 1901.
Played a Joke on (he (lood Man.
A good story is told on the Rev.
Mr. Ilagcrnnn, says the Oxford
(Mich.) Leader. At the annu.
meeting of the Congregational
church tho quo lion of bring a
pieaeher comes up. At the.la t one,
when the question came up, Ilage
man was rather anxious. The chair
man, a good old deicon, aro e, sav
ing:
“All thorn in favor of reta'mg El
der Hageman for another year—at
the same sa ary—will please'rise.”
Not one rose, and Ilagerman felt
about as m an as mortal man could
feel. Ij lit the eli:iinnaii m e again,
putting the question:
“All those in favor of keeping the
Rev. Mr. Ilageman an inured « f
salary will please rise.”
Every one rose. When it dawn
ed on the good elder that they hail
been only jo! leg With him, the
scowl on his face broke away into a
broad grin—as an icicle breaks away
in sj a kling water before the bene
ficent rays of a warm run. Some of
bis best fi.ends had planned the
scheme, which worked to perfection.

■ The Ladies’ Birthday Almanac for
1901 is being distributed in our city
tliis week. This publication achtiv
ed great prominence ir Septembc
by its accurate prediction of the
Galveston s'orm. The New York
Times Sept 13th said: “Galveston’s
disastrous storm was predie’ed with
startling accuracy by the weather
prophet, Andrew Jackson DeVoe, in
the Ladies’ Birthday Almanac, is

An AiieSenf Coin.
One of the prized curios of the Phila
delphia mint is a coin which is 2,000
years old and which was coined at the
ancient mint of that other Philadelphia
of the far east mentioned in tlie Bible.
It Is still In good condition, and the
inscription Is perfectly legible. The
design on the face of the coin bears a
striking resemblance to the Goddess
of Liberty of our own currency, and
underneath is the one word “Demos,”
which means “the people.” On the
other side is the figure of Diana, with
her bow arched, and the inscription,
“Diana, Friend of the Philadelphians.”
When this coin was struck off. Phila
delphia was the most important city of
Lyd'a. The prize was picked up in
Europe by Joseph Mieiiley. a cele
brated Philadelphia violin maker and
numismatist of high repute, who pre
sealed it to the mint.—Philadelphia
Record.

did urn, go to church as he usual'y
doe*, but took advantage of the
b ight and warm suns: • io and
drove u an open carriage far into
tlm country, returning to receive the
congratulations of Secretary and
Mrs. Root and a few other friends
before inncheoi. During tne after
noon he took another drive, looked
over his mail, dictated a few letters,
and had an interview with Repre
sentative Pa; m, the Republican lead

President McKinley loves to receive
piestnta. Nobody has ever offend
him anything of value, hut lie is con- J
tmually receiving remembrances from
both olu and new friends, and ,: ke
eve’yhody who has blood m his veins,
it makes h : n feel good to he remem
jered. A few family friends came to
dinner, invited by telephone, and
lea lied on one of the s : x turkeys sent
- -•hp Pipaident. No one hut the chef
knoas which of Diesc was eaten and
he will not tell, so that no jealousy
can bo aroused between the givers.
The President Bent a turkey to the
home of each married employe of
the White House, and each unmarri
ed min received a remembrance in
the shape of a t ; e, scarf p : i or some
other trifle.
While the State Department ad
mits that tlie T* kish indemnity has
been paid by means of the contract
recently made at Constantinople for
the building of a crii’M-r by the
Cramps, it declares that it is no way
a party to this meane of settling the
difficulty. It will not hand the $ 100 ,.
C< 0 extra, paid for the warship, nor
have anything to do with the matter.
It will simply cease to press the claim
The credit for causing a settlement
of this exas|verating case is indisput
ably due to the patient persistence of
the State Department’s rt presenta
tions to the Sublime Porte, which
has never been peimitted for an in
stant to overlook the debt in Us
weekly examinations of the Ottoman
Treasury, but there will be no author
native participation In the final pay
ment by State Department or diplo
■ alic and consuia” official. The can
cellation of the claim by the award
to the Cramps places it exactly in
the category of any suit settled out of
court, io far as the Government of
llie United States is concerned, and
according to the urnerstauding here,
the first and only information this
Government will have that a settle
merit has been effected will be a
notice from the claimants that they
| m>t care to have the matter press
; ed further, as they, have been com
; pensated to the”' fuH satisfaction for
Mhe damages incurred in the Armen
! I ian uprising. Wh’le milch is made of
| an implied . eornpl'ment to American .
'
shipbaildeis, compared with Euro
pean competitors, in the execution of
such a large con act in this country,
it is predicted that Idler developmt ills
vt ill show that Tckey lias adopted
an identical plan for 'Iqiiidating cer
tain English and German c'aiins, and
that waiship contracts will he given

For a number of years, Congiess
has heen perennially agit.a cd by the
pressure for approp aJons for the
establishment ot pneumatic tubes for
l.anstv’tlmg ina :i matter between the
central and branch offices in la-go
cities, iiitd to the railway hT.t'o.i-'.
This has heen established in overal
cities and has worked « ill more or
leis success hut charges h-ve been
made that excessive prices have been
paid in royalties to the owners of (ho
patents on the mechanism u ed
which, it n complained is ve / im
perfect. It has been a qiies.ion, too,
whether in many cares, the time re
quired to pack the mad m the pneu
matic carriers is not g.eater then
would be required to send it by
wagon to its des iralion. - To . ottle
these facts, a commission of praeii
qal men, consisting of Theodo e C.
J5arch. President of the National
Association of Mamuactc ers; R. II.
Thurs on, professor of mocha' ical
and steam engineer' ig at Cornell
University; S. C. Mead, secretary of
the Merchant!' Assomli >n, New
Vmk; Lyman F. Cooley, consulting
engineer of Chicago; Alfred Brooks
Frye, chief engineer United Spates
public beddings, iSew York city; W.
T. Manning, consulting engineer of
Daltimo , 'e, and Fivdedck A. Ifalsey,
editor of the American J achinj 1 ,
was appointed to ;, i vo.-digate and re
port on the matier. These gentle
men, after a thorough investigation
of tiie subject, h ive reached u i int
moos conclusions and have come to
Washington to lay the''• report be
fore the posUimsti r-gciKTal, who w i 1 1
-iibimt it to Congness, in order tied
the committee may have the bent-lit
«,f their advice and recommendations
in preparing the appropriation bills.
The natc e of the report has not
been disclosed, but tho impression
prevails that the commission regards
the transmission of marls by automa
tic processes underground, whether
through pneitma.ic tqbes or other
wise, as both a present a’ <1 future
necessity of the postoflico se .'.cc.
The general system is accepted as
he von d the expel imerital stage, but
the various methods now in use arc
sail far from perfect and will need
many improvements before they \v?'l
meet the requ remenls.
'J'he Committee on Library has
