Chairs Instead of Pews.

A modern idea of making sinners
comfortable when they go to church is
advanced by New York dealer in
church decorations and furnishings. 1t
is to have single chairs, such as are
used in theatres, substituted for pews
in our houses of worship. They are
already in use in the gallery of the Col
liage Reformed Dutch church in New
York. He ga in advocacy of his plan :
"Cnair backs are more agreeable to
the eye than the straight lines of pew
back; they prevent crowding. each
chair has book-rack, a hat-rack, and
foot-rest, and some have places for
canes, umbrellas and p!'lS'lS; they
give better cash returns than pews.
Many who do not want whole pews
hesitate about hiring parts OF pews.
When q church is seated with chairs
each member of family hires seat.
Single men and women hire seats. As
a matter of actual experience, churches
that have substituted chairs for pews
have obtained permanent increases OF
incomes from the sittings of from sixty
to eighty per cent. That means, of
course, greatly increased attendance.
People who desire to be very exclusive
hire entire rows of seats"

One of Plnkerton's Plans.

Major Pinkerton's perseverance and
ingenuity were the secrets OF his sue
cess in all his undertakings. If he
could not accomplish his purpose by
one plan he Immediately resorted to
another. His mind was wonderfully
fertile in expedients, and it was rare
thing for him to fail when he had once
set his mind on success. You can form
some idea of his ready tact and capacity
for planning in the case of the colored
murderer johnson, of South Carolina,
who killed an enemy under the most
brutal circumstances. Major Pinker-
ton was pretty positive as to the mans
guilt, but it was impossible to obtain a
complete chain of evidence. With the
natural secretiveness of his race John
son refused to fall into any of the man.
traps laid for him and make confess
sion, which was Pinkerton's object.
After weeks of patient but abortive
work, novel plan was hit upon. The
murderer was surprised one morning
when he went to take pillow into a
field to find it spattered with blood. In
the open field where he was to work the
murderer found little pools of blood
along the course he was to pillow. When
he went back to the stable he was
startled by seeing the bloody imprint
of human hand on the stable door.
Every hoe, or rake, or other farm i'm
PIGMENT that the man picked up had
blood on it. When nightfall came the
murderer was so paralyzed with fear
that his teeth were chattering and ne
was afraid to go to bed. He believed
that the spirit of his victim was haunt
ing him. The detective and his assist
ant noted these symptoms, and were
confident that the right plan had been
struck at last. 1t had been after q
fashion, and there was horrible proof
given the next day. johnson was found
In the barn with his throat cut from ear
to ear. He had killed himself rather
than endure the fortunes of guilty
conscience. l need not explain that
the blood marks which frightened the
murderer's guilty soul were the work
of the detectives and not of spirits.

A Terrible Disease.

The surgeons at the county hospital
in Chicago have under treatment Mrs.
Murphy, twenty-seven years old, who is
suffering from a chronic disease which az
ticts cattle, and is known as ''lumpyjaw.
1t is in the form of an abcess on her jaw
and it was at first supposed to be an ordinary
abcess, but microscopical investigation
proves to the contrary. The abcess was
found to contain vegetable parasites identi-
cal with those found in the abcesses OF cat
tie. 1t is supposed to have been caused by
eating meat from cattle having the disease.
An operation will be performed, and the
case excites some interest, as 1t is the first
one repoi ted in the United states, though
similar cases have all eady been recorded In
Germany.

GREELY's SUGGESTIONS.
They Are Claimed Not to Have Been Fol-
lowed by Hazen.

The letter of General Hazen to the
effect that in giving orders to the Greeiy re-
lief expeditions he followed with absolute
fidelity the notes sent by Greedy indicating
where he desired stores to be left does not
agree with these notes of Greedy. One
written from Fort Conger said:
s'In case the vessel cannot reach this
point depot should be made at perma-
nent point on the east coast of Grinnell
Land (West side Of Smiths Sound or Ken
nedy Channel.)'
And he gave a list of the articles Of food
that should be placed there. In these di-
rections he referred to the Neptune. Con-
tinuing, he said that If second expedition
in 1888 should fail to reach him this depot
should be duplicated on the same side Of
the sound cat two different points, one Of
which should be between Cape Sabine and
Bache Island.''

WASHINGTON

The officer commanding United
States troops charged vito the duty of ex-
polling squatters from the Cherokee outlet
lands in the Indian territory, has requested
the Interior department to send a repre-
sentative to point out the persons to be
elected. 1t is probable an attache of the
land Office will be directed to discharge that
duty.
The president has appointed John E.
Bryant, marshal for the district of Georgia,
vice General Longstreet.
Pay Director j. H. Watmong, for
merly paymaster of the general navy, will
be placed on the retired list on the Both
instant.
No action will be taken by the presi-
dent in the matter of the com missionership
of the new bureau of labor statistics until
his return to Washington about the middle
of August.
Judge Advocate General Swain has
been suspended from duty pending trial by
court-martial and Assistant Judge Advocate
General Lieber directed to take charge OF
his office.
Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka, of
Arctic fame, has resigned from the army
and his resignation has been accepted. 1t
is generally understood that he intends en-
tering some special duty under foreign
power.
Persistent efforts have been made to
make it appear that the president had Sc
lected W. F. Halderman, of Illinois, for
commissioner of the newly created bureau
of labor statistics. At the white house it is
not only denied that the president has Sc
lected person of that name for the vacant
commissionership, butitis said that nothing
whatever is know there of such person.
The civil service commission has ex-
amined about 800 candidates TO the $50
places as special examiners for the pension
office, and the papers are now being marked
by the special board of examiners. No
further examinations for this branch OF the
service will be held now.
1t is estimated that the decrease of
the public debt for July is about So, 900, ZOO.

covery of Representative Culbertson.

just the remedy he needs for all the all

TEMPERANCE DEPARTMENT
EDITED BY THE wOMEN's CHRISTIAN
TEMPERANCE UNION.

Ladies remember our monthly meeting
on the second Tuesday, 10th, of this month.

herself bound personally to attend, if pos
sible. Hour, $3.50 p. M, in Y. M. c. A.

We learn that the Good Templarso
Staunton have received a letter from the
great Gospel temperance lecturer, Francis
Murphy, expressing a desire to visit the
ssgrand old State Of Virginia in the fall.
His engagements are such that he cannot
come until the last Of October. At the
present time he is working entirely in Chi
cago, holding crowded meetings every
afternoon and evening. His son Thomas
is assisting him, while Edward, who has
recently returned from Europe, is put
ting on blue ribbons by the hundred in the
lesser cities of Illinois," For those who
are not familiar with the workings OF this
good man, short sketch of his life which
came out in the Christian Herald OF Feb.
Sth, would be interesting to read. The
Union Signal of the ed says: Mr.. Muir
phys work in Chicago is attaining grand
proportions, and no wonder,- This heart OF
love would all mankind embrace" Up to
Saturday night last, over 1900 had taken
the pledge and donned the blue ribbon
among them some of the most notorious
drunkards of the city. One, fallen cler-
gyman of the Unitarian church, long
prayed for and besought by his brethren
and men and women outside his church, is
now standing clothed and in his right
mind, y in the might of another'S love and
strength. Still another is well-known
criminal lawyer whose excuses have been
country wide, and have driven his family
from him. These are the trophies OF this
christian conqueror, and he lays them
down with humility at the feet OF his
King. The meetings have become CEN
