for a gold mine, and, failing to realize
promptly, accepted call to their church.
He is good preacher. well-hked, and is
paid Sl25 monthly. so they do not see why
his family should be starving. Some weeks
ago Curry announced from the pulpit that
his people would have to buy some OF his
stock, or taks his watch out of pawn, if
they wanted him to deliver shorter sermons,

This is conceded by even the Republican
leaders. There will bs but little discussion

True Version OF the Eotta Affair
PHILADELPHIA, June 19sh.-The Times
gives what it calls true version Of the
Lotta love affair. The narrative recently
published contained much fiction. The young
man was Barton Holmes, of this city, who
fell in love with Lotts, and followed her to
Europe. His family did not object to the
acquaintance, but rather encouraged it 4; nor
did he take $4,000 of her money for gamb-
ling. He took only sc. 600, and all Of that
amount was returned to Lotta. She
has visited his grave only once since his
death. and that soon after his burial.
The Times also says: Lotta has had also
several suitors since, but probably the only
man to whom she was ever seriously attached
was an actor named Robert Craig, who met
her during her early struggles, and was never
tired of helping her to improve.
