PITTsBURG, Feb. "A special to The
Times from Wheeling says: On the 9Th Of
December the Salvation army, through its
captain, Mrs. Clagott, was arrested for
making disturbance on the street. Though
the army had plenty of funds, she refused to
pay her fine, saying that she
preferred to suffer for her re-
ligion, and accordingly was sent to Jail.
The case was appealed to the circuit court
where it came up for trial The. judges de-
cided in substance that the arrest Of Mrs.
Clagett was an unwarranted interference
with the private religious scruples of others,
and that every one had the right, with which
the law could not interfere, of worshipping
God as they see fit. A big jubilee is being
held at Salvation army headquarters.

get frightened about our wheat and

provocation that there was in the 9TH
