Senseless Panic in a Church.

During funeral services in Methodist
Church at Norfolk, recently, just as the
pastor announced his text, lady in the
back part of the church said: st smell
fire." and took her child and went
hurriedly toward the door. An alarm
then spread through the church, which
became scene OF the widest consterna-
ton. The screams of the bewildered
women and affrighted children, of
mothers calling in an agony OF terror
for their little ones, and the appeals of
save me save mel" filled the church.
Those not incu inferred rushed for the
windows and franTically threw them
selves out, regardless of the height.
SingulSrly enough, no one was hurt
beyond some slight bruising. Men in
the galleries became paralyzed and in
capable Of helping themselves, and had
it not been for Robert Shearer, a New
York stevedore, who was in the gallery,
many would have been trampled to
death on the stairs. BY physical force
he kept back the crowd and urged them
to be quiet, assuring them there was no
danger. The Mayor, Police and Fire
Department arrived in short time,
when, after considerable effort, tram
guilty was restored. Many ladies
tainted, and how they escaped being
ltrampled to death is marvel.

Counterfeit National Bank Notes.
severely

WASHINGTON, Dec. A list of
counterfeit national bank notes, arrang-
ed on plan perfected by Receiving Tel
Ter Underwood, of the National Bank
Redemption Agency, will soon be issued.
1t is so arranged that any one, without
being judge of money, can readily de-
tect counterfeit. An examination of
advance copy reveals the following
facts The counterfeiters have, so far,
neglected to pay any attention to the
name of the Register on the genuine
notes all the 20s on the market-Mer-
chants, National Bank of Commerce,
Shoe and Leather, and Tradesmen's Ma
tional Bank of New York city, bearing
the name of l.. e. Chittenden as Regis
ter, are counterfeit. The genuine notes
on these banks all have the name of s.
E. Colby as Register. This is also the
case with the 20 on the Oneida National
Bank of Utica, N. Y. All five dollar
notes of the following banks bearing the
name of s. B. Colby as Register, are
counterfeit: First National Bank of
Aurora, Illinois Canton, Illinois; Chi
cago, Illinois; Paxton, Illinois, and
Northampton, Mass. All the genuine
fives on these banks have the name of
L. E. Chittendon as Register, with the
exception of the first National Bank of
Paxton, ILL.,, on which is printed the
name of John Allison as Register. The
counterfeit ten on the Muncie National
Bank of Indiana has the name of ALI
son as Register, and Spinner as Treas
urer, while all genuine issues have either
the name of Colby and Spinner or Alli-
son and New. All tens on the First
National Bank of Lockport, N. Y, and
First National Bank of Poughkeepsie,
n. Y, having the name of S. b. Colby,
as Register. are counterfeit. The genu-
inc notes bear the name of l.. E. Chitten-
den.

SAVING LIOness from Chokinq to Death.

Last Saturday at the Geological Gardens,
just after the animals had been fed, the
attendants were startled by the choking
sounds proceeding from the liens den,
and the 4nan who distributed the food
among the animals at once discovered
that the lioness had been partaking
rather Favenously of her meal of raw
meat, and that portion of gristSe had
evidently lodged in her throat.
Discovering the painful condition of

with dexterous movement, sprang in
side, seizing the lioness by the tail.
hoping that by swinging her around the

poor to make his business known is too
poor to do business" This withdrawal
of an advertisement is an evidence of
weakness that business men are not slow
to observe.
