THREE CHILDREN WIN
NIPEG, Man, October 23.-Three chill
dren, belonging to Mr.. Ingus, Of Elk
horn, Manitoba, were drowned yesterday.
One of them, young girl aged u, had
gone to pond in the vicinity of the
house, it having frozen over during the
night, and went upon the ice to have a
skate. The ice suddenly gave away,
precipitating her into the water. A
younger brother rushed to the rescue,
Immediately followed by a step-brother,
who plunged into the cold water and
maniully endea7ored to save the little
girl. But after struggling in vain for a
time all three sank. The mother, hear
ing their cries, ran from the house, but
reached the bank only in time to see her
children disappear from sight.

NO WONDER HE Is DEAD.

The Washington Star publishes an ace
count Of an autopsy held In that city
Thursday night on the body of a boy
named Gilmore Beach. aged about 1917
years. Some time ago the boy was TAX
en- with swelling of the stomach, which
continued to increase. Recently he has
been going around as usual, although
swollen much beyond his normal pro
portion. On Wednesday he was out on
the street, and Thursday at 2. p. NJ he
died. Twenty-Five or thirty physicians
examined him before his death, and
none of them could tell what had caused
the remarkable swelling of the abdo-
men. The autopsy was not made by the
Coroner, but was private one, and
there were several physicians and sur
geons present, among them Dr. J. B. G..
Custer, one OF the attending physicians.
A Star reporter called on Dr. Custer to
learn the result of the autopsy. THE
immediate cause of DEATH" said the
Doctor, ''was obstruction inEthe bowels
The case will attract the attention of med
ical men, because the obstruction was in
the small intestines not down in the
usual place, but higher up. Another
remarkable fact is that his intestines
were Immediately enlarged. There were
taken from them twenty large seeds of
damsons, copper cent anickel, tooth,
two buttons, and other sinGigestible arts
cles. His liver was. swelled to such a
size that it took the place Of his lungs
and nearly everything else, and one of
his kidneys was greatly displaced. Al
together it is a remarkable case. and do
not. think. there is~another one On record
like it.,

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S LAST

kindness and courtesy is expressed by
them! He who had commanded the
greatest armies in Europe, and had long
used the throne of authority, did rot de-
spise or overlook sthe small courtesies
of life. All, how many boys do! What
a rude tone of command they often use to
their little brothers and sisters, and some
times to their mothers! This is ill-bred
and unchristian, aud shows coarse mas
ture and hard heart In all your home
talk remember ''If you please
Among your playmatea don't forget "If

and serve you believe that "If you
please" will make you better served than

Once More the Boy is Ahead.

Among the guests of a New York ho-
tel was maiden lady from the rural
districts The landlord noticed that
about o'clock every night she would
come down stairs, get pitcher Of ice
water and return 20 her room.
Zone night, he said, Il made bold
to speak to her, and asked why she did
not ring the bell for hall-boy TO bring
the ice-water to her.
"'But there is no bell in my room
"'No bell in Your room, madam!
Pray, let me show you, and with that |
took the pitcher Of ice-water in my
hand and escorted her to her apart
ment Then pointed out to her the
knob Of the electric bell She gazed at
it with a sort of horror, and then ex-
claimed;
Dear me- Is that a bell? WHY,
the hall boy told me that was the fire.

touch it, except in case of fire.

himself the trouble of going for ice-
water. "-NeU York Star.

evil.
Sunday night squad of white men
were "cutting up" on the sidewalk on Com
merclal avenue near Twenty eighth street,
and one of them, named Darcy, amused
himself at the expense of negro named
Allen, who, with several others was passing
by. Darcy it seems was dancing on the
walk as the negroes came and gave Allen
an accidental or playful punch in the ribs
as he passed. Bad words followed and there
were probably some demonstrations of
physical violence. AT any rate the affair
concluded in shot from pistol in Aliens
bands, the ball striking Darcy in the thigh.
The negroes then ran, followed by the
whites and Officer bunker. The pursuers
followed their fugitives to the Correl where
one OF the party kicked in the door of a
house in which a woman named Mitchell
lived, believing that Allen was hidden
there. But the fugitves had not been
found last night. DR.. Parker who dressed
Darcy's wound, says that had the ball
struck quarter of an inch in certain d.
rection away from where it did strike, it
would have cut an artery and Darcy would
have bled to death in ten minutes.
The superintendent of the mail service
has met long-felt demand in the service
here, by appointing transfer clerk, whose
duty it will be to take chsrge of all mail
matter arriving here intended for other
points and transfer it 10 the several trains
or packets that will take il to its destina-
ton. Heretofore these mails have been ia
ken by wagon from the depots or wharf
boats to the postoifice and from there dis
tributed among the several conveyances 10
which il belonged. AS rule this mail ia
very heavy and composes much registered
matter. The transfer from the depots down
town to the postoffice up town and the re.
transfer back to the outgoing trains, which
occurs mostly late IN the night, was con
sideTed unsafe. The transfer-clerk will
have an Office convenient to the depots, per-
haps in the Union depot building, aud will

SERVICES AT THE NJ. Z. CHURCH

bChN lSEc ~ NE ~ Ia OliL ~ IL
Services were held in the Methodist
church on Sunday, Rev. Scarritt occupying
the pulpit after vacation of two weeks.
In the morning the services were very im-
pressive; in the evening good congrega-
ton WAS in attendance; the music WAS fine,
Mr. Scarritt preached from Exodus, sec
ond verse, twenty third chapter Thou
shalt not follow multitude to do evil" In
the course of his sermon, Mr.. Scarritt
touched upon the dissertation of the Sab
bath in Cairo and made some very pointed
and truthful statements. He spoke Of the
business that was dore on the Sat bath; the
excursions, amusements; and where ten
would be found in their stores, shops or
base ball grounds, you would find one who
had time to attend church He did not
wish it understood he meant the tramp aud
lower classes, WHO thus abused the Sabbath,
but men high in position, in society; our
intelligent men, who could not make
enough money six days in the week, but
must needs attend business all day Sunday,
forgetting Gods commandments to rest and
allow those in our employ to keep that day
sacred. Is it any wonder Gods judgment
followed them in sickness and various
waysl Years ago he remembered people
made a good living through the week and
were blessed. He wished his hearers to
understand, he took the Bible for his au-
thorty, wherein we are commanded to keep
the Sabbath day holy, and where com
munity disregarded this command they
could not expect long to prosper. The SER
mon was listened to with marked attention.
Mr.. Scarritt's second year in Cairo is
about to close, and during that time he has
endeared himself to his congregation and
built W his church. Many have protested
Christ and united with the church; back.
sliders have been reclaimed, lukewaIm
hearts have been rekindled. Although
there has not been a great revival, yet a
deep and thorough work has been accom-.
pshed and warm interest IS felt in the
church and Sabbath School; and we firmly
expect to see a glorious awakening this
coming year. 1t is the sincere wish OF
many, that the conference which convenes
in September, may deem it wise to return
Mr.. Scarrltt to this charge for another year
