A Word or I've About Camp NHeet-
 imGs.

Camp Meetings are not purely of Methodist ic origin, the assertion to the contrary not -withstandfng: T2so Prosby aozo~.s'ss'-" tion quietly claims the honor of their intro- duction into this country, and the claim is valid. Kentucky was the first state to have the meetings, which seem to have come about in perfectly natural way. They arose from simple desire and necessity for union services in a country sparsely settled, and the houses for worship'fa apart The first camp meeting was doubtless communion service, to which the people came for miles around, and the meeting being protracted be- cause Of the gathering and the awakening spirit of the Lord, the people fingered, camp ing the then almost wilderness. Similar meet- ings grew out of this. and for several years the Preabyterlans were the only ones who held them as a church affair. This means of grace was too important in it's influence to re- main long the distinct property of any one church denomination, and the Methodists and Baptists joined in these meetings. They have now become to be recognized as an almost Methodistic pality, though Methodists are by no means the only denomination that holds them at the present time. During the past week the Second Advents have been holding camp meeting at Cornwall Bridge, the Unitarians hold one every year in N. H., and many other denominations recognize the pow CT of these out door gatherings.
 Many marvellous stories are related of those early meetings in the West and South, of the large numbers present, and the won derful manner in which the people were con- verted. Of meeting held in 1901, in Ken lucky, Presbyterian minister writes that there were 1000 people who partook of the. communion on Sunday, and that there were 20, 900 persons gathered on the grounds to listen to the preaching. The meetings often continued in those early days many hours without cessation, and one is reported of that was held from Saturday till Tuesday more than; seventy-hours without one minutes intermission. Peter Cartwright, the pioneer of Methodism in the West, gained much of his notoriety at camp meetings and he has related many incidents, attending those
 gatherings, that almost stagger one's faith in their credibility, were they not attested by oth- CTS, and witnessed year after year in the early half of the present century. Those extraya. gances are now things of the past, and camp meetings are quieter in expression, and con- sequently the results are more permanent. The gatherings of to-day are different in many respects from those ot fifty and sixty years ago., though the intent is the same, namely, the conversion of sinners. The charge is sometimes made that in these gatherings, the Methodist church has almost entirely discarded the soul-saving agency, and that the meetings are more for recreation, mental and physical and for social enjoyment. The experiences of every year at Pine Grove disprove this claim, and if further refutation is required, on attendance on the meeting this year will sufficiently satisfy any Objector in this line Of argument.

THE BOGUS DOCTOR. .
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Detroit: Mich, September l3.-The
arrest of DR.. Buchanan at st. Clair last
night, which was announced by only
three papers in thecountry, one of which
was the Enquirer, was brought about
almost wholly by the energy and shrewd-
ness of John Norris, city editor of the
Philadelphia Record. When Buchanan
left Windsor he went to Chatham, where
he passed by the name of Homer Darl-
ing then to London, where his name
was Foster, and where with a fellow
called DR.. Mumey, lewd woman and
bis brotherin-law, named M. V. Chap
man, he advertised on Tuesday to give
aspiritual seance, and whence the whole
party fed with the door-money without
even trying to give an exhibition. He
next turned up in Courtwright, Ontario,
oppositeSt. Clair.
While Norris had been laying the wires
for Buchanan's discovery, and knowing
that the woman who passed as his wife
at Windsor was Philadelphia prostitute
named Nora Leonard, his exact where
abouts were discovered through her
movements and her friends. After the
forfeiture of Buchanan's bail last Satur.
day Norris made arrangements for . e.

The fashionable girl now lays her head
on the shoulder Of her male companion
when travelling, according TO Cincin-
natl Enquirer writer, who says: "The
incest girls do it, aud they are so de-
mure, so Innocent, so unconscious in
their manner that nobody could deem
the practice harmful. They have the
unconcerned air Of using a pillow. This
would have been reprehensible q year
ago; now fashion and mothers permit
it. But the man must not SO far forget
himself as to hug the girl. If he does,
she pops bolt upright, and will lean to
him no more forever. That is the new
but approved etiquette"

A Girl Thirteen Years Of Age Becomes
a Mother.
Pittsburg Leader.

Some members of the medical frater-
nifty in Lawrenceville arc scratching
their heads over q case of birth which
recently occurred ut an humble home on
Forty-third-and-a- half street. The moth
or Of tho child is tho daughter of hard
working German. She is only 18 years
and 10 months old, and is considered
small in size for age. On the 2Sth of last
month she became tho mother of . large
male child, and it is alleged that the
father of the prattling stranger is a.loco.
motive engineer who runs on the ALE
ghany Valley railroad. The attending
physician was hunted up and interview
ed this morning. He didn't want to be
interviewed, but finally said it was an
exceptional case in the annals of obstet-
RIGS. He had never attended mother
50 young. He had read in the books
about such rare occurrences, and had
heard the professors in Germany, and
medical schools in this country which he
attended, talk about them, but had
never met one before. The child is verv
largo, he said, and the mother is deli.
cate and slender. The child is yery
healthy, and has no notion of dying.
Tho mother is recovering, and willis
regain her health" A Penn avenue
physician was interviewed, too, but pre-
ferred not to have his name in print in
connection with the story. Such cases,
he said, were rare indeed. However,
the history of medicine shows that girls
of only eleven years have given birth to
children.

QUESTION, posted off to Detroit, and on
Wednesday the necessary papers were
procured from Gov. Creswell. Armed
with these, and accompanied by . Phil
adelphia detective and Michigan
officer, Norris, one other journalist, and
another interested person went to St.
Clair, where it was expected that
itwould he possible to capture Buchanan,
trap having been laid to induce him
to cross the river voluntarily.
Twice the boat sent for him returned
without him, but exactly at midnight
on the third trip Of the skia,, he stepped
on to an old deserted mill dock. accom-.
panied by his young brother-in law, Mr..
Chapman, who was the author of tho
bogus suicide scheme. He walked
directly into the arms of Norris, who
said: Doctor, ! have prescription for
you,' and at the same time elasded
Buchanan round the body. buchanan
gave shrek, and then Detective Miller
took his arm, while Norris, letting 20
OF Buchanan, caught Chapman's arm.
In respons" to q question by Chapman
az to whom he was, he answered: ssTou
know me, Chapman"
The party then locked arms in the most
friendly way and proceeded to the hotel.
where they stayed till four o'clock in the
morning, when they took q steamer for
Fort Huron. arriving there at six o'clock
aud going directly to the Huron House.
At four this afternoon the party started
for Philadelphia. Buchanans plan was
to start q disreputable house in San
Francisco, and, with this view, sent the
woman back to the East to procure four
girls to take with them. The intention
was for the party to work their way
across tho continent by giving lectures
aud bogus exhibitions, like the one in
London and by raising funds in other
disreputable ways.

WHO OWNS tHE FASTEST TRoT.

Now York Mail.

NuW uAhil'
A reporter has interviewed Mr. bon
ner concerning fast horses. and that gen
tleman is far from willing to admit that
the world contains 4 tleeter trotter than
one or two to be found in his stable.
There is undoubtedly much rivalry be-
tween Mr.. Vanderbilt and tho proprie-
tor of tho Ledger as to who shall have
tho fastest roadster, and had Mr.. Van
dorbilt's offer of 1000 secured St. Ju-
lien, that gentleman would doubtless
feel that he is the owner of a pair which
no one would be able to pass on the road.
And since it is generally believed that
Maud S. can equal if not improve tho
time made by st. Julien, at Hartford, he
no doubt considers himself the owner of
the fastest roadster in tho world. Mr..
Bonner believes that the best time on
record will yet be brought down several
seconds, and he is confident that Rarus
can trot in 2lO, and Edwin Forrest, with
record of 2:l5s to a wagon, is the
greatest wagon horse in the world,
Since Lady Tuffolk trottel a mile in
2:294, astonishing reductions in time
have been made, tho official record of
horses that have gone below the time
which made Dexter famous being as fol-
lows:
2:l11 St. Julien.
2:lO4, Maud S.
2:l3f, Rarus.
2:l4, Goldsmith Maid.
2;l4s, Hopeful.
2:15, Lulu.

2:l64, Lucille Golddust
2l6}, American Girl and Derby.
2:l6f, Occident.
2;l7, Gloster.
2:l74, Dexter.
Mr.. Bonner attributes the improve
ment chiefly to toeweights, smoother
tracks and lighter weights, and confesses
that without his toeweights Edwin For
rest would not be worth $500, and Maud
s. would be no better. He adheres to bis
purpose to give public exhibition of
his best horses, although his refusal to
permit them to trot for money will pre-
vent them from obtaining an official rec
ord. Whether Rarus, Maud s. or St.
