Tho Rev. Hugh o. Pentecost is as erratic as
trinal views as he is intellectual He has been
connected with nearly every denomination
known to the followers of Christ, and in none OF
them has he remained any length of time. The
last change he made in this city was from the
Congregational Church to the Baptist. At the
time he was before council of ministers
which was to pass upon his qualifications
Baptist minister previous to his taking charge
of the Marcy-avenue Baptist Church the sue
cessor of DIR. Jeffrey. in the most picturesque
style he told how he mad started out a Bap
brook through green meadows. or like
bee slipping sweets from every flow
er, until finally he had come back
again to the source of his spiritual exist
ence. 1t was very pretty to listen to and awoke
the enthusiasm of the Baptist preachers, who
welcomed him with open arms. He was in
stalled pastor, and he was q great favorite of
the lady members of his congregation. He was
certainly most interesting preacher, and, from
an aesthetic standpoint one of the most pleas
ing men ia the pulpit. Suddenly there was a
commotion in the church-the preacher had
nounced that he was about to resign. No one
knew why until an enterprising reporter elected
the fact from him that it question
whether he or of the leading deacons should
run the church. and as the deacon was persist
emit. he had made up his mind to leave him the
church. it not in accord with his prin-
ciples to remain where turmoil existed.
Then he went to New York and started an in
dependent church. From this he passed on to
Newark, whore his recent utterances in behalf of
labor aroused so much resentment among some
of his people that he resigned. But the majority
begged him to come back, and he has done
conditlonalIy, and the conditions leave him free
to preach in three cities. He begins next Sun
day preaching in Newark in the morning, at the
Criterion Theater this city, in the afternoon
and in New York in the evening. He will talk
in the interests of labor as he has always done.

Cleveland and Voorhees,.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis journal:
The speech of Senator Voorhees, in the Sem
ate. on last Wednesday, settles the question of
his candidacy for the vice presidency. A few
years ago Senator Voorhees, took new depart
ure at Atlanta. Ga, and favored protection to
American productions, raw material as well as
manufactured articles. The last message of
President Cleveland proclaimed just the oppo-
site of Voorhees, sentiments as expressed at
Atlanta. and since the free-trade element con-
trolls the Democratic party, his aspirations were
nearly blasted. So at the earliest time possible
be rises in his seat in the Senate and turns a
complete somersault by Endorsing and eulogizing
the free-trade message of Cleveland, and thus
removes the only obstacle in the way of his
being the candidate for Vice president. Cover
nor Gray may well subside once; the old
butternut element, which the Governor was in
discreet enough to oppose up to 1872, is top
now, and no ex-Republican need apply for Vice
president.
The ticket is almost as good as made. Cleveland
and Voorhees,; free trade and rebel rights will
be the men and the motto Of the Democrats
party in 1888.
To make a sure thing doubly sure Senator
voorhees,, who has of late been posing as the
soldiers friend, should rise in his a second
time without delay, and indorse the veto mes
sages of President Cleveland of the dependent
pension bill as well the bills giving pensions
to widows and dependent parents.
This will put him rapport with the head OF
the ticket and secure the prize without fail.

BUFFo KRUGER BECOMES COUNT
Made a millionaire Besides by q Decision il

French COurL.
Minneapolis pecial.
few days ago Jacques Kruger, the buffo in
the Gypsy Baron company, received letter
from Achille Dnbarre, q well-kpow n Partisan
advocate, informing him that a lawsuit had
been decided in his favor and that the estates
in Bruxelles, with all the chattels and heredita-
ments. were his. In addition this there is q
cash deposit of 10000 francs $780, 00l which is
ceived from Ravel & Lafavre. his attorneys in
New York, a confirmation of the news that he
received from Paris, with the addition that he
could draw the estate for 80, 900 francs wnen-
ever he chose. The full name of the comedian.
whose nom de stage has been known from one
end of the country to the other for the last fit
teen years. is Jean jacques Kruger De Cartier,
and his title is Count De Cartier de la Bots.
The estate is one of the largest and wealuhiest
in France. comprising three thousand acres,
with valuable improvements. Jacques Kruger
is worth over 81, 0G0, 900. With the estate
comes several decorations, including the badge
of the Legion Of Honor
The history of the case is interesting Ii was
just after the French revolution and during the
restoration that charge of treason was brought
against the grandfather OF Kruger. The old
Count was one of the proudest noblemen in
France and one of the most honorable. The
charge and the disgrace, with the loss of his es-
tates, drove him crazy His wife, too. became
insane the trouble. and they both died in
obscurity The father of Kruger came to this
country after the calamity that befell the
family. and settled at Macon. Ga. on the home
stead that has become well KNOWN the tamliy
having lived on it for about ninety years.
General Kruger was well-knewn charac ter
in the South. He raised the first squadron of
horse in the confederate army. About thirty
years ago he went to France to look up the old
estates, instituted proceedings and fought the
case bitterly til his death. nineteen years ago.
He spent fortune in the suit and left IL, almost
his only legacy, to his son Jacques The latter
followed the steps of his father 1t was not
til two years ago that anything tangible was
cleaned from the mixed condition of affairs, but
it was at last proved that the charge against the
old grandfather was false, and after all these
years Kruger is given tho estates that belong to
him and takes his title of count Kruger will,
of CO arse, leave the stage To show the conf
dence he had in being ultimately successful. he
has educated his daughters with a view of fitting
them for the position they would ultimately
occupy. The elder has been in a French convent
for two or three years.
