Pittsville, last Wednesday evening,
when VIM. Merritt young man about
eighteen years, shot one Chas. Brown
in the abdomen, with fine shot. 1t
seems that Mr. Brown desired to enter
a house where Merritt boarded against
the wishes of the landlady and young
Merritt stood ready to protect her.
Brown insisted and words passed
between them finally resulting in the
shooting. Marshal James arrested
the young man and brought him to the

How Subsidies are Obtained.

The road to subsidy in Washing. ton is as well marked as a tow path on a canal
 No subsidy measure originates in the house of representatives Whys Because it is almost cer- tain to be defeated at the outset. It must begin in the senate. Tho house passes an appropriation blll which goes to the other chamber, and on this the senate, in 0bedi- ence to the wishes of the lobby, tacks as an amendment the subsi- dy clause. It must then go back to the house for concurrence or non-eoncurrence. But if the house is known to be hostile to subsidies, why go to the trouble ol having the senate attach one to a house bill which must certrinly be non- concurred in' Because after non concurrence comes a committee of ] conference which may be manipu- lated. If it cannot be, then there i is a chance that, as the session hears an end and the possibility of the failure of an appropriation bill ' hAr tn IT be forced to accept the senate sub- sidy in modified form as an evil that is preferable to an extra ses- sion In this arrangement the ele- ments of trickery, persuasion, fear and compulsion enter, and lobby works it to perfection. It is only through the shameless profligacy of the United States senate that it is enabled to do it, however. That body is tho efficient instrument of the lobby in coercing the represen- tatives of the people.
 The old game is now in progress. The house has passed the post of flee appropriation bill.' The sen- ate has added to it clause appro- priatiug 5S00,000 for the benefit of two or three steamship lines. The house has refused to concur. The senate has declined to recede, ana the difference between the two houses has gone to conference committee If the lobby can con- trol the committee a favorable recommendation from that organi. zation will probably have great weight with the house. fit can not control the committee it may force the house as a last resort, rather than incur the responsibility for an extra session, to yield to tue demand of the jobbers.
 In this manner is the United States senate used every year by enemies of the people.

A man travelling in Persia, says he has been in town where the bells ring for prayers five times a day, and business men rush out of their stores, to the churches, leaving their stores alone and un- locked, and nobody ever has a thing stolen. But we must remem- Der that those people are heathen. Take it in this country, where we send missionaries to the heathen, and man who went out to attend pray CTS would lock both ends of his store, tie his clerks hands be- hind him, and have policeman watch the store, and another man watch the policeman. Besides, the man who owned the store wouldn't go to prayers, either Peck's Sun.

Tom Maxwell was walking moodi' ly along the road that led to his fathers house, when the distant music of farm bell sounded on the air.
 Strange" thought he. ''Is il some ghostly banquet celebrated at midnight?" But with thrill of anxiety: "Surely the sound comes from the Kerr farmhouse. Some thing is wrong there."
 And turning instantly, he retrac- ed his steps in one-tourth the time ne had taken them in moody sor- row, few minutes before.
 The house was not on fire, as he had feared, but tho hall-door stood wide open Shouting loudly, he was answered in faint, grateful tones; then, almost, without know ing it, he had the frightened, pem- tent girl in his arms, and Sadie was exl laining the cause of their alarm.
 Reassuripg them, he took up a lamp and started upon a tour of investiga gation.
 The parlor, hall and kitchen re. vealed nothing, but in the pantry four innocent looking tomato cans stood upon q shelf, their contents scattered over the floor and adja cent furniture.
 The mystery was explained The tomatoes which Jennie had thought so snugly put up' had taken a notion to see the outer world. bursting their bonds with d loud report that sounded, in the si lcnce of midnight, to the overstrung nerves of poor Jennie, like the fir ing of gun.
 Tom tried hard to suppress the laugh that escaped his lips when be announced the result of his search.
 By tliis time the house was hall filled with the neighboring farmers and their families, in every stage of dishablle, the first one appear ing being Harry Cooper, who now had Sadie and the baby both ill his arms.
 A general shout of laughter aroae, and in the confusion that follow' q, Tom drew Jennie unre- sistingly to the parlor, which was nnoccupied. He closed the door and then pointed silently to the clock, the hands of which were al. most meeting at twelve,
 "in three mouths," she said simply.
 That will do," was the gravely spoken answer.
 And Jonnie's down, cast eyes did not see the rascally, triumphant smile quivering on the lips that pressed kiss of reconciliation up. on her bluShing face.
 "It served you just right" said Mrs. Kerr, the next morning, upon hearing JeLnie's confession. And now for your wedding-dress."

Only Believe.

He is able; He is willing. He is ready. Settle these three things in your heart. Go over them again and again, putting down doubts, and looking steadily at the Lamb of God. Believe that he will save you. This you must do.
 The woman came saying, "If l may but touch the hem of his gar ment, l shall be made whole" It was this faith that saved her. Not believing that she was made whole before she was, which would be believing wlat was not true; or believing that she was made whole after she was, which would not be faith making her whole, but heal. ing giving her faith. No, no. It is very simple. Her faith was; If 1 touch 1 shall be made whole. This she had before she felt any change in herself; it was naked trust in Christ; sheer confidence Tn his virtue and power and love. IL led her to touch; it brought the healing. It is this firm trust in his saving mercy which the Saviour is pleased to honor. Win Arthur.

Harry P. Robinson Reads n Paper
on English journalism.

AS the Minneapolis Press club rounds up
another year, it is found in highly salts
factory condition. Its membership is con-
stantly increasing, and the attendance al
yesterdays meeting i'm the club rooms at the
Syndicate is an adequate evidence Of the
lively interest felt by the press gang in the
organization. The literary feature has be-
come one of the most attractive and prom
ises TO outrank the social feature of the
club. Yesterday Harry p. Robinson of the
Tribune editorial staff. contributed paper
on English journalism. Mr.. RObinsOn's
experience on the press OF London and
other cities of England gave him fund of
information from which he drew to furnish
the members of the club with one of the
most interesting papers that it has been
their pleasure and good fortune to listen TO.
IL was practically a defense of
English journalism from the ridi-
cule of American papers. Mr..
Robinson took the ground that from a
news standpoint the press of this country is
far more advanced than that of the old
country. The press of England as il is in
this country. caterers to the taste and de-
sires of its patrons. The English public
prefers to read editorial matter to the news
in detail. Mr.. Robinson took occasion TO

is always stocked with lengthy editorial
dissertations upon the topics of the day.
Reporters. in the American sense, are un-
known. The work is done by men detailed
from the editorial staff or by a special

The paper was placed on file, and at the
suggestion of Mr.. Mind, will be published,
as Will the other papers read before the club
from time to time.
1t was reported that the tickets for the
benefit concert to be given on Wednesday
afternoon are meeting with gratifying sales.
and the amusement committee reported
that the details for the benefit had been con-
summated.
The resignation of Charles Alf Williams
of the Tribune as member of the club,
was received and referred TO a special com.
mittee, of which Harry Hawley is the chair
man. Mr.. Hawley will wait upon Mr.
Williams with view to inducing him tC
reconsider his resignation and continue hi:

to GLOBE reporters query. From the

9th ers side shOwmen and some agents
When Kohl aud Middleton and my
self started the first museums,
by Jove, Anteus-like, they all
sprung into existence I presume
because the others. knowing us in former
times, thought they could try a hand at it
equally as well. Now, let me see. Pat
Harris of Cincinnati was 'candy butcher
in days galore. and he controls places in
Cincinnati. Louisville, Pittsburg. Washing
ton and Baltimore. Hertzog was a per-
former; he has museums in Baltimore,
Washington, Norfolk and Richmond.
Jacobs and Proctor. side-showmen, have
places in Montreal. Albany, Troy and
Buffalo. Brady and Garwood are in To-
ledo and Fort Wayne. Sackett, Drew and
O'Donnell in Providence, Cleveland and
indianapolis. Robinson is in New Orleans.
Faranta, performer is in New Orleans,
and Crosby, a candy butcher. is in Memphis.
Stanehope and Epstrom and Kohl aud
Middleton are in the same city, possessing
three museums and one iheater. ChOtel, a
former veDtriloQuist, is in Pittsburg.
Bradenburg and Forepaugh represent the
interest in the Quaker city, and Austin and
Stone and DIR. Lothrop hold forth at the
