CHURCH ADVERTISINO.
Me (hods Used by a Massachusetts Pastor to
Attract Large Congregations.
A Beverly (Mass.) correspondent of
j Newspaperdom writes to that publica- ,,
'* on ^us:
The pastor of the Dane , „ Street ^ Lon-
f'^ation Church Rev F. J. Van
i Horn, before coming to Beverly, was
located out in Ohio, and became mi-
bued with some of the Western hustle,
and he rather astonished his good New
England deacons one Sunday, when
he informed them that he wanted $100
to spend in advertising. In making
this request lie said there was no
reason why, Instead of 100, they should
not have 500 people present at the
eve £i n g serv ice at the'churdh. On the
following Saturday the advertising
matter appeared; but there Is still a
suspicion that the pastor paid for It
himself, for awhile at least. At first
he began with flyers and printed cards,
which were left at the homes and scat-
tered about the streets. Then be
would vary it with a quarter-sheet
poster luuig in the store windows,
each announcing his subject for the
following Sunday evening,and Inviting
the public to come and hear him.
These subjects were never sensational,
iior were his sermons. The result of
(Ids advertising began to show in an
increasing attendance at the meetings,
and a count was made every Sunday
and the number announced the follow¬
ing Sunday. So well did the plan work
that af the next annual parish meet-
ing it was voted to take a collection
at the Sunday evening service, and
allow the Itev. Mr. Van Horn to take
it for his own use in advertising and
for securing special musical talent for
the services. About this time, now
nearly two years ago, he abandoned
the flyers, and took a six-inch space
in the Evening Times on Saturday,
and has continued it ever since. We
give him a special position across the
top of the fifth page, one inch deep,
and people now look as regularly for
his announcement as they do for the
local news in the paper. The result
of this advertising, together with the
very practical sermons that he
preaches, is that instead of the five
hundred that he hoped to get out at
the services, the number more fre¬
quently reaches 1,500 and Is seldom
less than 1,000.

IMAGES IN EYES OF THE DEAD.
Scientific Experiments Give Rise to Ab¬
surd Stories.
(From the Literary Digest.)
The popular notion that the eyes of
the dead sometimes retain complete
images of scenes that have been en¬
acted before them at the moment of
death has received fancied confirma¬
tion in late years by experiment, and
there are some who, from reading care¬
less or exaggerated accounts of these
experiments, might get an impression
that science had placed upon this no¬
tion the stamp of approval. The fol¬
lowing note from the Lancet (London)
gives us the very small modicum of
truth that is the basis of all such
stories. It says: "Under the title of
‘In Dead Eyes’ an evening contempo-
rary recently made a statement which
carries its own confutation with it. It
is to the effect that a physician and en¬
thusiastic photographer, being desir¬
ous of testing the amount of truth in
the theory that dead eyes retain com¬
plete images, had carefully examined
the eyes of hundreds of dead people,
and, though he had never seen any¬
thing like a distinct picture mirrored,
he had certainly distinctly traced both
letters and objects on the iris of the
eye, and that when the photographic
test was applied, these images be¬
came visible. In one case a capital
letter of peculiar form was shown
which could he traced to a testament
held in the hands shortly before death.
In another case a numeral was dis¬
tinctly pictured, which was traced to
a clock face in the room. The article
in question continues: ‘The chief sci¬
entific paper of Franca only the other
day gave full particulars of a case
where a woman who died in one of the
hospitals had tw r o numbers, 10 and 45,
mirrored in the iris of her eyes.’ These
absurd stories originate in the well-
known experiments of Kuhne on the
visual purple of the retina, in the
course of which he showed that by
making special arrangements, the
crossbars of a window focused on the
retina could be brought into relief.
The enthusiastic photographer, if he
be not misquoted, ought to have
known that no well-defined images of
the external world are cast upon the
iris, and none, therefore, could be pre¬
served. The surface of the iris is far
too uneven to act as a mirror. More¬
over, as no arrangements were made to
prevent the further action of light
after death, they would, if formed, be
certainly obliterated as the image on a
photographic plate would be if per¬
manently exposed. The only mode in
which an image impressed on the
retina could be rendered visible would
be to adopt the method of Kuhne,
namely, by exposing the eye previously
kept in the dark for a minute or two
to an illuminated object, then extir¬
pating it, opening it, and immediately
plunging it into a solution of alum.
The image develops in the course' of
twenty-four hours.”

A GREAT TRAVELER.
BURTON HOLMES A LOVER OF
NATURE'S WONDERS.
How Ho C»roe to Take Up the Profes¬
sion of Lecturer—-Something: About
the Man and lits Career—Ul» Work
uh a Camerlat.
The lectures of Burton Hoimes on
the Hawaiian islands attracts public
attention in no small degree to Mr.
Holmes himself. Burton Holmes is.a
native of Chicago, in which city he re¬
ceived his early education. His grand¬
father, Stiles Burton, was'one of Chi¬
cago’s wealthiest citizens before* the
fire and it was from him, he being a
great traveler, that Mr. Hoimes inher¬
ited his globe-trotting predilections, as
well as his literary tastes. While still
quite a youth, his health not being of
the best, it was deemed advisable for
him to pursue his further education
in the broad and liberal school of for-
eign travel • rather than to subject hfs
health to the strain incidental to the
confinement of the school room. Ex¬
tended tours to the principal Euro¬
pean cities and to Japan restored his
health and further confirmed his taste
for travel.
Even at this early period in his life
he manifested a marked aptness and
ability as a photographer, and it is to
this that his present career is im-

BURTON HOLMES.
mediately traceable, as on his return
from Japan with the photographic re¬
sults of his trip, he was invited by the
Chicago Camera Club, of which he was
a member, to relate the adventures
and incidents of his wanderings in
Japan, his remarks to be illustrated by
photographs of his own taking. This
was seven years ago. So great was the
success of this impromptu lecture that
he was urged to repeat it several times
for charity. During the next summer
he again went abroad and upon his
return, although the wealth of his
family made it unnecessary, he decided
to give a lecture for his own benefit.
This met with a most enthusiastic re¬
ception, it being necessary to repeat it
a number of times in Chicago, while
he was invited by a number of charity
organizations to give it in surrounding
cities, in all of which he was most
warmly received. In this way Mr.
Holmes finally decided to adopt the
lecture platform as his profession.
This is the sixth year of his profes¬
sional career, he now being 29 years of
a&e. Not only is he firmly established
in the West, but it is his second sea-
son in Boston, Brooklyn and New
York, where he gives the annual Lent¬
en matinee lectures for so many years
given by Mr. Stoddard. For a number
of years Mr. Stoddard has manifested
great interest in Mr. Holmes, often be¬
ing his fellow traveler. On his re¬
tirement, through his kindness, he in¬
troduced Mr. Holmes in a number of
eastern cities as his successor, a title
which the younger gentleman seems to
have worthily sustained
Treating: Himself.
The Parisian critic M. Jules Claretie
narrates in the Athenaeum an amus¬
ing story of the elder Dumas: At the
height of the great novelist’s vogue he
could not turn out books fast enough
to satisfy his clamoring publishers, and
it became necessary for him to employ
collaborators, to whom he sketched the
plot, perhaps leaving them to do the
rest. Among the most distinguished
was M. Paul Meurice, who is still liv¬
ing and writing in Paris at an advanc¬
ed age. Thus it came about that M.
Meurice was the author of one of the
most amusing novels of Dumas, “Les
Deux Dianes.” Dumas, when traveling,
found this novel in a hotel, and opened
it to pass away the time. He began
reading it seriously, got interested in
it and was amused. Presently some
one came to his room and found him
with “Les Deux Dianes” in his hand.
“What are you doing there, dear mas¬
ter?" “I am reading,” said Dumas, “a
novel of my own, which I did not know
and which pleases me vastly!” It was
Dumas who said, when left to himself,
“I am never bored when I have my
own company.” It is easy to see that
he was not more so when he had tjjat
of others—and did not know it.
Misslng Coins.
It is estimated that there are 199,-
900,000 old-style copper pennies some-
where. Nobody’knows what has be-
come of them, says the Philadelphia
Press, except that once in a while a
single specimen turns up in change. A
few years ago 4,500,000 bronze two-
cent pieces were set afloat, Three
millions of them are still outstanding,
but are never seen. A million of three-
cent silver pieces are scattered over
(he United States, but it is very sel¬
dom that one comes across any of
them. Of the 800,000 half-cent pieces,
not one has been returned to the gov-
ernment for coinage or is held by the
treasury.
DAMAGING TO QUAY.
Bribery Investigation Brings. Out in¬
teresting Allegations.
A dispaloh from Harrisburg, Pa.,
says: The legislative committee in¬
vestigating the charges of alleged
bribery in connection with the consid¬
eration by the house «f the MeCarrell
jury bill and the balloting for United
States senator held sessions Tuesday
afternoon and evening and some inter¬
esting testimony was presented.
Representative Kendell, of Sotner-
sel, testified that a resident'of Bedford
county not a member of the legislature
had told him if he could see his way
clear to vote for Quay for United
States senator he would receive §5,000.
He declined to name the man.
Representative testified Laubaclf, that of named Phila-
delphia, a man
Frank Jones, of Philadelphia, asked
him to vote for Quay and he refused.
Later Jones told him if he voted for
| Quay he (Laubach) conM . have , the ,,
chief clerkship oz the mint or the
C11R om house,
Representative Brown, of Union,
swore that a man had offered him 8200
to remain away on thnt dny of the first
joint ballot for United States senator.
When he refused the offer was raised
to $300 and he was told if he would
go into the convention and vote for
Quay the price would be “altogether
different. ” All these offers were re¬
fused.
Mr. Brown declined to give the
name of the man to the committee,but
after much urging named ex-Congress-
man Monroe H. Culp, of Sliamokin.
Mr. Culp represented the seventeenth
Pennsylvania district in the fifty-
fourth and fifty-fifth congresses.
The first important break in the bal¬
loting for United States senator took
! place in the legislature during the day,
when all the anti-Quay republicans

SHERMAN IN BAl) WAY.
The Distinguished Statesman Now a
Physical Wreck.
The cruiser which left Hampton
Roads March 13th under orders to
overtake the American liner Paris and
transfer from that ship ex-Secretary of
State John Sherman, who had been
taken seriously ill, arrived at Old
Point Comfort shortly after the noon
hour Tuesday with the distinguished
invalid on board.
The Chicago, after taking Mr. Sher¬
man on board, sailed from Santiago-
last Friday morning,proceeding direct
to Newport News. The party that re¬
turned with the ex-secretary on the
Chicago was composed of his nephew,
Mr. Frank Wiborg, of Cincinnati; Dr.
McGill, of Duluth, the physician who
has been in constant attendance upon
the sick man, and Mrs. Danizer, the
nurse, who leaves the patient.
Tuesday afternoon Mr. Sherman,
closely muffled and with his features
entirely concealed beneath a heavy
black veil, was placed in a steam
launch and removed to the pier. Two
officers and four men from the ship
accompanied Mr. Sherman and his at¬
tendants. He was borne in a litter to
the hotel on the broad shoulders of
four marines.
A gust of wind, lifting the veil, dis¬
closed the face of the invalid. It was
wan, pinched and of a deathly pallor.
A crowd of several hundred people
witnessed the removal of the sick man
to the hotel.
At 6 o’clock p. m. he was again
placed on the litter and taken on board
the Washington boat.
That Mr. Sherman is a very sick
man, no one who got a glimpse of the
invalid’s ghastly pallid features can
doubt. He has lost flesh until little
remains of the active and vigorous
man but a frame, and he is obviously
far advanced in general infirmity.
CUBAN ASSEMBLY’S AGENTS-
Trio Reaches Washington To Confer
With President McKinley.
Senors Jetser Villalon and Hevja,
who were appointed by the Cuban
assembly to present to the Washington
authorities the resolutions of that
body, have arrived in Washington.
Their mission, in addition to the pre¬
sentation of the resolutions, is to ex¬
plain in detail the situation with ref¬
erence to the insurgent army.
While the assembly did not reject,
the $3,000,000 which General Goinez
arranged with Mr. Robert P. Porter
to receive and pay off the Cuban
troops, they believed it to be entirely
inadequate to meet the situation.
They desire at least $10,000,000, and
as much more as can be obtained.
ANGRY VOLUNTEERS.
Whole Minneseta Regiment Down On
General Young.
The officers of the Fifteenth Minne¬

to resume civilian life with the stigma
of General Young’s scathing rebuke
attached to them.
He practically accused the entire,
staff of incompetence and cowardice on
the occasion of the late mutiny, and
though they have been mustered out
of the service they have formed an or¬
ganization with the sole purpose of
obtaining vindication and will insti¬
tute a fund for prosecuting the mat-
ter.

A New York dispatch says: At a

hibitions and imposing a fine of $300
for all violations of such ordinance
was referred to the committee on
