A systematic and Extensive swtnd-
Iing Business by an Ohlo Man.

SPRINGFIELD, O., April "a man
named John 7. Norris, who lives in this
city, is carrying on an elaborate, sys-
temAtic and very extensive swind.ing
business. he sdvertises his headqusr-
ters at Springfield and Cincinnati, and
orders goods and products Of various
sorts from firms in all parts Of the Union
and Canada, referring them to the bank
ers and other business men of the city.
When the goods arrive they are immedi-
ately taken from express Offices or freight
depots and transferred to other parties
for any amount. Norris was in the Ohio
p~enitentiary nearly a year for swindling,
but was discharged through a legal tech
nicality, and has been carrying on his
business since on a larger scale than be-
fore. He claims to have amssSed $780,
900 by this style of business. Many eff
forts have been made by the Springfield
newspapers and leading business men to
expose his practices and warn the public
against him, but in spite Of these efforts
he seems still to be doing a very large
business.

Thomas Paine.

In the journal of Stephen Grellet, a
noted and most worthy minister Of the
Society Of Friends, l find the following
record, made in the fall Of 1909:
Il may not omit recording here the
death of Thomas Paine. A few days
previous to my leaving home on my last
religious visit, on learning he was i'll
and in a very destitute condition, | went
to see him, and found him in a wretched
state for he had been so neglected and
forsaken by his pretended friends, that
the ommon attentions to a sick man
had been withheld from him. The skin
of his body was in some places worn off,
which greatly increased his sufferings.
A nurse was provided for him, and some
needful comforts were supplied. He
was mostly in state of stupor, but some
thing that had passed between us had
made such an impression upon him that
sometime after my departure he sent for
me, and on being told | was gone from
home, he sent for another Friend. This
induced a valuable young Friend, MARY
Rascoe,) who had resided in my family
and continued at Greenwich during a
part of my absence, frequently to 60 and
take him some little refreshment suitable
for an invalid. Once when she was
there, three of his deistical associates
came to the door, and in a loud, unfeel-
ing manner, seid Tom Paine, it is said
you are turning Christian, but we hope
you will die as you have lived and then
went away. On which, turning to Mary
Rascoe, he said: You see what misera-
BILE comfcrters they are Once he asked
her If she had read any of his writings,
and on being told she had read but very
little of them, he inquired what she
thought of them, adding: From such a
one as you | expect a correct answer.
She told him that when very young his
Age of Reason was put into her hands,
but that the more she read it the more
dark and distressed she felt, and she
threw the book in the fire. i wish all
had done as you he replied; for if the
devil has ever had any agency in any
work, he has had it in my writing that
book When going to carry him some
refreshments, she repeatedly heard him
uttering the language, oh, Lord, Lord
God, or Lord Jesus have mercy upon
me-"
Thus the poor inidel, wretched' in
body and mind, received at the last his
only ministrations of comfort from hands
prompted by hearts filed with the love
Of the Lord Jesus, whom he had denied
and reviled.-M. Y Tribune.

Bass BAIL totes

The following changes have been
made ia the rules for this season:
l. Betting on any game is prohibited
among the players under penalty OF ex-
pulsioh from the League.
2. After the bstsman has had two
strikes without hitting the ball, the UNI
pire must warn him by calling the next
fairly-delivered ball " good ball before
he calls the third strike. This 10 reality
gives the player the advantage of four
called strikes before he can be put out.
But if he strikes at the third good ball
the umpire will call it a strike and not a
good bali"
3. Should the batsman step outside
the lines of his position when he strikes
the ball, the umpire will call " foul strike
and out" and no base car be made on
his hit.
4. When a fielder catches a foul fly,
base-runners may run on the same con-
ditions stipulated by the rules in regard
to a fair ay.catch; that is, If they touch
the base after the ball has settled into
the cateher's hand they mayat once pro-
coed to run without waiting for it to set
tie into the pitchers hands again.
5. A b%ase-runner may return TO the
base he left when the ball is declared
foul and not be put out in so doing
The rule in this case is the same as that
which applied in the old rules to a dead
ball, and the change is the most radical
one made.
6. The ball must be stopped or caught,
when bstted, by the ielder's hands, and
by no other part of his person or his
clothes. Otherwise the ball will be de-
clsred dead" and base.runners will
have to return.
In selecting an umpire the visiting
club submits the names Of five persons.
From these five the home club must Sc
lect two, one Of whom the visiting club
will then choose to umpire the game.

COLUMBUS, GA, a quiet old town,
noted for good society and beauti-
full women, has been profoundly
moved by a clerical scandal The
parties thereto are Rev. @. A. Ken
drick, pastor of the First Baptist
Church, a young married man of
thirty, and a buxom member of his
flock not over fifteen years old.
She was baptized into his church
some months ago and has been a
regular visitant to his study ever
since until a week or two, when
their criminality was discovered by
two men whose suspicious had been
aroused. Kendrick fed the town
and was arrested eight miles away.
He narrowly escaped violence, and
has been IN jail ever since. Ills
young wife, who is in adelicate and
critical condition, is plunged in the
deepest distress. Kendrick pleads
persecution, but it was too plain a
case. He will have to step down
and out. The girl is said, by the
Atlanta Constitution, to be of re-
spectacle family, but not of the
first circles. This is a brief state
ment of the scandal which has oc-
cupied much space in the papers of
Columbus and Atlanta, Knoxville
and other cities.
