FRIGHTENED BY A CRUCIFIX.

4 PRIESTS ADVENTURE INVOLVING A
NATURAL AND PAINFUL MISTAKE.
1t was reported Sunday last that an at
tempt had been made to assassiuate the
Rev. Father McCullum, of the Church of
the Sacred Heart, in Brooklyn, and it is
understood that Father McCullum himself
was under the belief for some time that he
had had narrow escape from death.
In his remarks at the mass Sunday morn
ing many of his congregation were led to
infer that an attempt had been made to
shoot him, but it turns out that the whole
matter was q mistake on the part of the
priest. 1t appears that a man called al
Father McCullum's house, in Adelphi street
near Park avenue, between 3 and A. M
Sunday and requested the priest to visit q
dying woman and administer spiritual con
ISOLATION to her.
Father McCullum consented and started
out with the man. When they had gone
half q block from the house the priest fol
some reason suspected that his companion
had some evil designs. He stopped sud-
denly and the man turned towards him and
said, "What, Father, you are not afraid O.
me- !" At the same time he pulled some
thing from his pocket which glistened II
the gaslight and which the priest supposed
was pistol.
Father McCullum, without further parley
hastened home, leaving his companion
greatly surprised. When the case was in
vestigated 1t was found that the man ha,
no murderous designs. What he drew iron
his pocket was simply brass crucifix, b.
means of which he wanted to assure thu
priest of his honesty and sincerity.

A NATURAL TELEPHONE.--On the

es for the truth of the matter, there
is certain point ON ridge high up

can be heard the rumble of trains on
the Southern Pacific railroad as they
cross the range to. the west of Mo

regular daily train passing at 1890
o'clock, and upon reaching the place
at this hour the noise of the train is
heard as stated. 1t is a curious thing
in nature, but scarcely more wonder

1t is said that Ben. Buffers defeat
for governor of Massachusetts at the
late election cost him over one hun
dred thousand dollars; but he will
no doubt soon recover this loss. He
was recently employed by the city OF
Boston as special attorney in case
wherein that city was defendant and
certain manufacturing mill owners
plaintiffs. The suit was brought to
recover large sum of money, the
city having diverted the waters Of
the Sudbury river, to the injury of
the mill owners business. The Gen
eral conducted the case, and brings
in bill for $4,000 as reasonable
compensation for his services. There
seems to be protest on the part OF
the ci,y against its payment.

ABOUT EDITORS, ETC.

Indianapolis SUM-
Every editor loves to have his
friends and particularly his readers
to call on him. They belong to the
same family, as it were. But when
you call to see an editor, don't stay
too long. Editors are generally very
busy in business hours. If you have
suggestion to make or news to
communicate, state it in the fewest
words possible.
Don't offer any excuses nor in
dulge in long preface to what you
have to say. 8lurt it right out; tell
the editor you wish him we'll, and
bid him good day. Editors dote on
such men as that. They love to re-
ceive calls from them. Don't argue
with them. Don't try to do it. He
has no time for argument while at
his work.
When you write 10 an editor for
publication, make it short. Pitch
right into the middle OF your sub
ject and be sure to stop writing when
you are through. Editors always
like something fresh and origina! in
the way of communications, and they
are especially fond of news. But
the editor must always be the judge
Of what is worthy of publication
Of course every writer thinks his
own production the best, just as ev.
cry mother thinks her baby the pref
tiest that was ever born. But the
editor may be so stupid as to have a
different opinion. If SO, it can't be
helped. Don't try to argue him out
of his notion. If he is too stupid tc
appreciate good thing, you cam
expect to remedy his dulness. You
may think you are a great deal smart
er than the editor, and that may be
true; but the editor may be respon
sible for the publication and you ar,
not. There is no class of men 81
anxious to please majority of the
people as. editors are. There is nj
class so covetous of the good opinion
of others. 1t is we'll to remembe
that fact.
