DIDN'T LIKE HIS SINGING.

Congregational singing may carry the
appearance of brotherly love and sister
ly regard (if there is such thing, but
it is sometimes far from entertaining to
the person who takes no part in the
performance. Recently, at very
fashionable place of religious worship,
where many unframed and unmusical
voices ran riot over persuasive tunes, a
man who knew more about the grain
market than of buckwheat notes"
lifted up his presumed voice to assist in
the presentation of hymn of long and
nallowed standing. A modest but de-
termined-looking fellow, who stood just
in front of him, turned around, touched
the singer on the arm, and said
Do you live in this town ?"
" Yes" the singer replied, after allow
ing his voice to fall to the floor.
Are you member of this congre-
gation?"

church to treat strangers with marked
courtesy?'

"Well, then, will you please do me a
favorw

What can l do for you?"
"Hush."
"Hush p the singer gasped.
"That's what I said"
els it possible, sir, that you don't
want man to sing ?"
"Oh, | don't mind mans singing,
don't care how much he sings; but I
don't want him to give himself up to
such distressing noises as you have been
making"
=" My gracious alive has it come to
such pass that man can't sing in his
own church ."
1T has come to pass that you can't
sing in any church."
You are insulting, sir"
" And you are tormenting."

By this time, the hymn was finished,
and the congregation sat down ; but
pretty soon another hymn was an
nounced. The annoying singer again
lifted his voice. The man in front of
him turned round and touched him on
the arm.
"What do you want with me, sir?"
"Want you to hush."

THE JUVENILE TEMPLE

Concert at Kimball Hall last Friday
evening was a decided success, despite
the severe snow storm that came on in
the afternoon Of that day. All the
principal characters in the cantata, save
one, were present, and about 200 persons
composed the audience. The utmost
enthusiasm prevailed throughout the
performance. The children rendered
their parts in very happy and pleasing
manner. The part Of the old woman
and her big shoe. with twelve children
i'll their nocturnal robes making their
sudden appearance out Of the top of the
shoe, cannot well be described, and
must be seen TO be appreciated. The
entire program will be repeated next

CENTERvILLE CREAMERY
BURNED

ROCKFORD, ILL.,, December -.
The Centerville creamery was burned
to the ground at II o'clock last night,
and Its inmates barely escaped from the
flames with their lives. They leaped
into the snow bare-footed and without
any more clothing than they had when
they left bed. VIM J. Bush is owner of
the creamery and was living there.
About II o'clock he was aroused from
his sleep by his daughter, who ran into
the room and gave the alarm of fire.
MIR. Bush ran out of the room into the
factory, in hopes that he could put out
the flames. A glance convinced him
TINT they were beyond his control. Re
turning to his room he told his wife and
daughter to leap out of the window,
smashing in the glass as he spoke. He
then tried to save some clothing and
canght up one arnl-full of garments and
a bedquilt before the fire drove him out
into the fresh air. Even then his hair
and whiskers were burned, and his eyes
were burned in several places. They
are swollen and inhamed to-day, and he
is obliged to wear green goggles. A few
minutes more and the whole family
would certainly have been cremated.
The fire is supposed to have originated
in the boiler room, although Mr.. Bush
says he left everything as safe at night
as could be. His personal and household
effects were worth fully $1,000, and only
insured for $500. He states that he ex-
pended fully $1,000 on the creamery
plant, and had only $1,000 insurance on |
it. S. F. & G. F. Penfield placed the in
surance for him and tried to induce him
to take more insurance, but he thought |
he couldn't afford it.
Mr.. VIM. ]. Bush is we'll known to the
people of Kenosha county. They SYM
pathize with him in his misfortune.

Mr.. Charles Petzke fell into one of the
leech watts at Allen & Sons tannery l,e-
tween and O'Clock on Saturday even
ing, and was so badly scalded by the hot
water in the vat that he died about noon
on Sunday. The unfortunate man was
at work in the engine room and went I'D
stairs to tell the man who was shoveIing
bark down that he did not want any
more bark, and as he was returning he
slipped on the narrow walk and fell into
the vat. He succeeded in getting out
and up to the edge OF the vat, when he
fell back into it, and, being too weak to
get out again, remained there several
minutes before his cries were heard by
the workmen. He was scalded up to his
shoulders, but the water was not suffi-
GENTLY hot to cause the flesh to peel off. |
He was attended by Drs. Saunders and |
Ward, who did all they could to relieve |
his sufterings, which were intense. He
remained conscious up to within an
hour of his death. An inquest was
held before Coroner Tarbell on Monday, |
and the jury returned verdict that he
came to his death by reason of accident
ally falling into one ofthe leechcs at the
tannery of N. R. Allen & Sons on the
3lst of December, 1887, and died Jam
lst. 1888. His funeral services were
held at the German Methodist church,
on Tuesday. and were largely attended.
Deceased had made application for ad-
mission into Court Kenosha l. O. F. at |
the last meeting. Had he made the APP
plcation two weeks earlier his family |
would receive $1,000.

CRAZY TEA.
FILL THE BEARER.

AT the table the craziness was ap-
parent. Butter was put in individual
salt and egg cups, etc. II you reached
for the water pitcher it was found filled
with biscuits. When you reached for
the sugar to sweeten your coffee you
found the bowl filled with pickles. After
searching for the cream it had to be
poured from syrup cup. Fruit dishes
We're laden with cold sliced turkey,
which proved toothsome, if out of place.
The dishes were certainly a near ap-
proach to crazness in the great variety
of shapes, colors and sizes. The walters
costumes were gotten up to harmonic
with the affair, and varied from the
polite darkey to the big Injun chief, his
head ornamented with feathers. The
guests were supplied with tissue paper
napkins, on which was printed "the
Presidents Message" but it was al
together too crazy for any one to read,
although prize of IS was offered for
any one who could read it. 1t was not
expected the guests were to be crazy,
but they were certainly merry, and
mirth is catching. After the "tea" was
disposed of the guests repaired to the
parlors and the evening was spent in
social chat, etc.

KEENAN, on Siberia,

Except the Life of Lincoln and the War Articles
no more important series has ever been undertaken
by THE CENTURY than this of Mr.. Kennan's. With
the previous preparation of four years travel and
study in Russia and Siberia, the author undertook
Journey of $4,000 miles for the special Investigation
here required. An introduction from the Russian
Minister of the Interior admitted him to the princ-
pal mines and prisons, where he became acquainted
with some three hundred State exiles-Liberals,
Nihiists and others-and the series will be start
ling as we'll accurate revelation of the exile sys

A CRAZY TEA.

The young people of the Free Con-
gregational Society of Bristol and Paris
have flourishing Christian Endeavor
Society, and wisely take into considera-
ton their social needs. Thursday even
ing, Dec. 29tl, the society gave social
and crazy tea at the residence of Mr..
r. T. Roberts, which was largely at
tended, and proved an enjoyable event.
A crazy tea" was an entirely new
thing to all, no one present ever having
had any practical experience in aught
but their own natural craziness. The
" crazy tea" is artificial craziness, and
has its basis in the fact that little folly
now and then is relished by the best Of
men as well as the rest of us.
The society made ample provision for
sharp appetites, and when the tables
were spread they looked superbly in
viting, and if they did not groan under
their sumptuous burdens it is because
they were stout. The tickets that ad-
mitted guests to the dining room read:

A collision occurred at the depot here
a few minutes before o'clock Wednes-
day morning between the Green Bay ex-
press, going south, and freight train
going north. The engineer of the freight
train endeavored to sidetrack his train
in order to allow the express train 10
pass, but, owing to the slippery condi-
ton of the rails and the momentum of
the train, he failed to do so, and the
train kept on the main track, and ran in
to the express train, which had pulled
out from the depot and was near the
new depot, when the engineer of the ex-
press, seeing the freight train still COM
ing towards him, endeavored to back
out of the way, but was unable TO do so
in time to prevent a collision. Both
engines were badly damaged. The pas
sengers on the express were considerably
shaken up, but fortunately no one was
hurt.
