Some witty divine relieves the monotony
of stage coach pilgrimage with anecdotes
admirably descriptive of certain style of
modern praying. A Cape Cod clergyman
one Sabbath prayed most earnestly for rain.
He entreated the Lord to "uncork the bot
ties of Heaven and send down the refresh
ing showers" The drOuth had lasted
through August and a part of September.
Tuesday morning the line storm began, and
continued with great violence till Friday,
flooding the country and sweeping off
bridges in all directions. Saturday night it
set in to rain again, and Sabbath morning it
was still pouring down. This time the
prayer was as follows: "Oh. Lord, we re-
cently took occasion to entreat thee to un
cork the bottles of heaven and send down
the refreshing showers, but ue did not mem
that the corks should be H,ro,cn awav." Mr..
Starr followed with story of Parson
Howe, Of Milton, Connecticut. On a similar
occasion, if not during the same drouth he
!, petitioned for relief in these words. Mob
Lord, we want rain very much. The rye Is

Rmbezzlement by an Official.

This is special to the St. Louis Repu1-
lean
WASHINGTON, September 30.-Charles c.
Edwins, a receiving teller in the redemption
branch of the Treasury Department, was
brought before the police court this morn
ing charged with the embezzlement Of
$500 of the public funds entrusted to him
as an officer of the United States, the said
money being transmitted to the treasury by
the Davenport National Bank of Daven-
port, Iowa, to be exchanged for like
amount of new notes. The Offense is al
legged to have been committed on the first
day of May last. The accused waived an
examination and was committed to jail in
default Of $4,000 bail, to await the action
of the grand jury. Subsequent to his arrest
Edwins turned over to Treasurer Spinner
$500 Of the amount, saything that he had
lost the balance in speculation. As the
United States Treasurer is by law held re-
sponsible for any defalcation on the part of
his employees, General Spinner at once de-
posted $1,000 in bonds out of his own private
funds, thereby fully covering the amount
stolen and protecting the government from
loss. The case has created a painful inter-
est in many high circles from the high stand
ing and respectable connections Of the ac-
cused
