tie White House TO be the centre of
society very much fear that the impe-

that the President must do Il great deal
of entertaining in order to get acquaint-

about society. But the President has
lcil his purpose To the conjecture of
those interested, and has yet given no
intimalion Of what he will do. Since

A Lunatic Runs a Locomotive.

MACON, Ga, May 26. -Jessup is

SEE. Virginia and Georgia Railroad,
and has a negro characte, known as
"Crazy Bill" Early yesterday
morning a freight train of thirty
cars bound for Macon was waiting
the arrival of n passenger train
from Macon. Bill stole into the
locomotive cab, blew the whistle
and started off, shooting over many
switches, but keeping on the track.
The lunati ran the train FIVE miles
but was stalled at the foot of a hill,
as the wafer in the boiler ran low.
The engineer, yardmaster and 9TH
ers, on seeing the train leave, ran
after and found it at the hill. The
lunatic, stopping, blew the signal
for a switchman, and then sat down
on the end of a cross-tie, and was
found there by a crowd reading his
Testament. He was secured and no
time lost in sidetracking the train,
which was accomplished just as the
passenger train came up. But for
the s%toppage, the freight would
have met the passenger train in @
collision.

THE DUNKARDS.

The term "Dunkard" is used in-
Discriminatory for several denomi>
nations of a kindred nature. The
proper term of the sect is Ger
man Baptists, or Brethren, having
assumed the latter name for Them
selves, con account of what Christ
said to His disciples, One is your
Master, even Christ, and all We are
brethren They Originated in
Schwartzenan in the year 17OS, in
Germany" The fist constituents
were eight neighbors, six men and
two women, who agreed to read
the Bible in company" They de-
sired Alexander Mack, one Of their
number, to baptize them, but he,
deeming himself in the reality un-
baptized, refused; upon which they
cast lots to find who should be adj
mlnistrator of the baptism. On
whom the lot fell has been carefully
concealed. They were baptized in
the Riyer Elder, and then formed
themselves into a church, choosing
Alexander Mack as their minister.
They increased rapidly, and had
congregations in Marienborn and
Epstein, with John Mass and
Christian Levy as their ministers in
those places. Persecution quickly
drove them thence; some to Hol-
land and some to the Crefelt. Soon
after the mother church voluntarily
removed from Schwartzenan to Sc
~rustervin, in F~riesland, and from
thence migrated to America in IT.
29. In 1929 the Brethren of Gre
felt and Holland followed. As to
their principles, they believe that
they should do what the Bible says
and not what it might mean. They
preserve their ancient customs,
their lives are singulally pure and
unselfsh. They have recently
established a college in the West.
which contains a large portion Of
the remarkable library of Abram
Ii. Cassel, the noted Pennsylvania
antiquary, himself a Dunkard. In
the simplicity and integrity of their
lives, the Dunkards, Schwenkfelders
and Mennonites are much alike. A
wealthy Mennonite bishop, now
dead for many years, violent freely
of his substance to needy neie hbors,
without bond, mortgage or any
evidence of debt, declared before his
death ne had never there lost a
single cent, In his house were no
keys, locks or outer fastenings.

of the last century, written by Rev.
Edward G. Eggleston, will appear
