 EDITOR CITIZEN: My attention has just been called to the card of 0. H. Hahn in the CITIZEN of the Sth instant, in reply to a communication pub lished in your paper of prior date. I have not seen the communication referred to, consequently do not know to what he refers. This fellow Hahn assails me without cause. l denounce him as a liar and c0aedrd, and now propose to show him up as such; and, not only that, but to show him to be a fraud and iap0ster or a great rdscat. He can take either horn of the dileni- ma in which he now finds himself.

When the furnace was finished Hahn was not ready. He frittered away the time of the company. Fin ally he fired up.

The Man Who Watched,
From the Detroit Free Press

A day or two ago, soon after the hour
of noon, and individual who seemed to
be laboring under considerable excite
ment entered a grocery store on Michi-
gan avenue and asked for private word
with the proprietor. When the request
had been granted he explained:
81 believe myself to be an injured
husband. and [ want to verify my sus-
plcions by watching house on the other
street. This [ can best do from the
rear OF your store. Have You any OBJ
lections to my taking seat back there
by the open window %
The grocer granted the favor, and the
agltated stranger walked back and took
seat on box of Goldfish and began his
watch. His presence had almost been
forgotten when he returned to the front
of the store with hasty step aud culver
ing voice and said:
'Great heavensi but I'll kill herl
Yes, I'll SMOOTHER through the hearth
"Your wife 2"
6 Yes, my idolized Mary / can no
longer doubt her guilt, and I'll be a
murderer in less than ten minutesp'
The grocer tried to detain him, but he
broke away and rushed around the cor
ner. Not hearing anything further of
him for half an hour the grocer began to
investigate, and he discovered that four
teen rolls of batter, a crock of lard, two
hams and other stuff had left the back
end of the store by way of the window at
which the watchful husband was sta

A FORGOTTEN Patriot.

In his Decoration day speech at New
Haven, Governor Hubbard of Connect
cut told once more the story of Nathan
Hale, and pointed out the singular in
consistency which had given to Andre
the tribute of fame and sympathetic
commemoration even i'll this country,
while the American spy, purer in his
motives and Drawer under severe trial
remains comparatively unhonored. Save
a somewhat dilapidated monument to
Hale in the churchyard of his native
town OF Coventry, we know of no tribute
to the gallant young martyr of the revo-
luton. "FOr three score years and
MORE" said the orator, "the remains of
Andre, transported by the British
government to his native shores, have
reposed in the great abbey of West
minister. The ashes of Hale rest in an
unknown grave, and lack even the hos
FATALITIES of his native soil. And what
let me pause here to ask it-what has
his native state done to rescue his men,
DRY from the unequal Judgment of
history? We have thrown out in the
front inches OF our capitol the statues of
Jonathan Trumbull and Roger Minot
Sherman. Shall Nathan Hale, the
young and intrepid martyr of liberty,
fail longer to find memorial in the
capitol of his native state, while his less
deserving brother in courage and mis-
fortune sleeps in the worlds foremost
temple of glory, amid its innumerable
poetries of art and efigies of heroes :?
L put this question and to give it more
emphasis. | repeat it here, in this
presence, on this anniversary day of our
country's martyrs. And every son of
Connecticut that hath an ear let him
hear"

son to bid him farewell when he left his
native state to embark 1T New York for
Liverpool. During tbeweek before his
departure saw him daily, and our inter-
course was of the most confidential char
acter. In his serious moods he mani
tested great anxiety regarding the result
OF his proposedventure-for it was daring
III any man to attempt to win English
applause, for, last of all, American
humor. But he depended much for sue
cess on his agents knowledge of the
English people and his own shrewdness
III overcoming their meiudices. One
day Browne referred to the financial
question, and gave me excellent evidence
that he was possessed of at least S., 900
of available means, and he closed his
statement with the remark that he ex-
pected to spend a good deal of money
before he "got hold of the English
people; but if he made total failure in
the foreign lecture field he meant to save
enough to get him safely home.
SO many anecdotes have been told,
and we'll told, of Brownies keen sense of
ludlcrous, and the facility with which he
gave the most ordinary incidents hum
orous turn, that the subject would seem
to be exhausted; but some of us can
recall laughable incidents in our personal
recollect1ons of him. [ once shared his
room and bed at miserable tavern IN
Oxford county. The house was old and
rlckety, the window ratified hideously in
the easement, the chill November wind
came through couple of broken panes
with too much force for comfort, and
sleep was nearly impossible. After
turning and tossing awhile in a vain en-
deavor to court forgetfulness, Artemus
rose, and, lifting the lamp, made most
solemn survey of the room in every part.
Presently he emerged from deep closet
III the corner with a delapidated hoop
skirt III his hand, which he gravely hung
up before the window. "Now, what are
you doing?" was asked of him. Artemus
slowly placed the lamp on the floor,
turned on me look of pity, and with an
argumentative gesture of his right hand
half-muttered to himself, "'Twill keep
out the coarsest of the cold, anyway !"
Artemus was known in the family and
among his schoolmates as "Chub," a
name given him by his facetious brother
Cyrus as satire on his tall gaunt
makeup.

Under the Snow.

The remarkable case of Elizabeth
Woodcock, who was buried under the
snow, is especially striking. In the
winter of 1899 she was returning on
horseback from Cambridge (England) to
her home in neighboriDg village, and
having dismounted for few minutes the
horse ran away from her. At 7 o'clock
on a winter evening she sat down under
thicket, cold, tired and disheartened.
Snow came on; she was too weak to rise,
and the consequence was that by the
morning the snow had heaped around
her to a height of two feet above her
head as she sat. She had strength
enough to thrust twig, with her hand
kerchief at the top of it, through the
snow, to serve as a signal and to admit a
little daylight. Torpor supervened, and
she knew little more of what passed
around her. Night succeeded day, and
day again broke, but there she remained.
motionless and foodless. Not.senseless,
however, for she could hear church bells
and village sounds-Day, even the voice
and conversation of some of her neigh
bors. -Four whole days she thus re-
malned-One single pinch of snuff being
her only substitute for food during this
time, and this even she found had lost
it's pungency. On the fifth day a thaw
commenced, and she suffered greatly,
but still without being able to extricate
herself. 1t was not until the eighth day
that the handkerchief was espied by a
villagers, who with many,others, had long
been seeking for her. STOPPING down he
said:
" Are you there, Elizabeth Wood
cock 2"
She had strength enough to reply,
family:
dear John Stittle, Iknow your voice.
For Gods sake help me out.
She died about half year afterward,
through mismanagement of frost-bitten
toes; but it was fully admitted that no
one, unless cased Ill snow, could have
lived out those eight days and nights in
such place without food.

A YOUNG Mans Horrible Fate.

One of the most cruel and bloodthirsty
affairs we have ever heard of has come
to our notice recently, the perpetrator
being a passenger conductor on one of
the roads leading out of the city. Going
through his train one morning he came
across young man daintily arrayed and
conscious of his dignity in that he sup
ported well waxed and carefully cult
waited mustache. On the usual demand
for ticket being haughtily disregarded,
the blood of the conductor was aroused,
and with fire in his eye he grabbed for
that mustache, and while cry of horror
went up from the passengers who wit
messed the transaction, the youngman as
thoroughly free from capillaries on his
upper lip as the day he toddled at his
mothers knee, got up, and with head
hung and pain depicted on every
lineament, rushed fer the baggage car;
the conductor coolly pocketed tue mus
tache and went on, softly saying to him
self that touching refrain from Mark
Twain: punch, punch, punch with
care"

The Dunkards.

This church originated in Germany in
the year 170S, and to escape persecution
emigrated to the United States some
years after its commencement. With
this church, territory is divided into dis
tricts. Each district is entitled to
several representatives. Should a mat
ter of church discipline arise in any dis
trict during the year that the resident
minister could not settle, the matter is
dressed in the form of query and pre-
scented to the annual meeting for advice.
Here 1t is brought before the represent
atives from all parts of the nation and
discussed by them. The body is then
required to vote ON the several ways of
deciding the question, and the result of
the vote is made a standing rule of
church discipline. The meeting this
year will be one of unusual Importance.
For years past there has been two
methods of performing the foot washing
in the church; and the difference on this
point has caused many churches to be
expelled. One brother pours water into
a basin and washes brothers feet, and
another brother follows after, girded with
a towel and wipes the feet that have
been washed. This is known as the
double mode of foot-washiug. In the
single mode the brother who washes the
feet is girded with towel and wipes
them. The double mode is the recog-
nized rule of performing this ordinance,
and there are a number of leaders who
want to make it the only rule in the
church. The opposition to this is strong
