lie Disturbed the Church.

The supreme court Of North Caro-.
lima, has rendered decision in q case
which perhaps has no parallel in legal
annals. A man. in Robinson county
was indicted for disturbing religious
Worshlp-a grave misdemeanor. 1t
was stated that he was a member of
a Methodist church, and that he sang
IN such way as to disturb the entire
congregation, his voice being heard
after the voices Of all the other sing
ers had ceased: The case went before
the superior court, and the trial was
very interesting. All these facts were
brought out. A Witness, asked TO
give description Of the, defendants
singing, requested permission to ini-
tate 1t, and. so perfectly did he re-
produce the voice and manner of the
defendant as to produce bursts of
laughter which, irresistible and pro-
longed; convulsed alike the specta-
tors, the lawyers, the jury and the
Judge. 1t was in evidence that the dis
turbance in the church caused bv the
singing was decided and serious, it's
effect being to make one, part of the
congregation laugh and to. make the
Their half very angry, the frivolous
and irreligious enjoying it as fun,
while the devout and serious were in.
dlgnant. 1t was further shown that
the congregation had been so. greatly
disturbed by it that the preacher had
positively declined to" give out" any
hymns, and that the presiding elder
OF the district had refused to conduct
services in the church at all.
The defendant did not object to this
evidence. He was put upon the stand
in his own behalf. the law of the state
allowing the defend ants in any sort of
OF case to thus testify. He said he
was a. conscientious singer, and that
though he knew his voice was not mu-
seal, his conscience reproved him if he
did not sing every time q church song
was raised.
The judge nevertheless charged the
Jury that it was a disturbance of re-
llelOus services in the meaning of the
act, and the defendant was convicted.
He took an appeal to the supreme
court, which rendered the opinion that
a conscientious" singer causing dis
turbance, though he dlsturbs others,
such disturbance is not an indctable
otfense. The action of the lower court
was reversed and the defendant retires
the victor in the singular egal contest.

The Growth of Children,

The rate Of growth in children va.
ries according to the SEX. Thus, at:
the age Of II to - years, boys are:
larger and heavier than girls; but.
from that age on the evolution.ei the.
girls is more rapid, and they soon
overtake the boys and pass them, till
the age oils years is reached, when
the boys draw ahead again, while the
girls remain nearly stationary. A
curious relation has been, discovered
between the growth of childreninstat-
ure and in weight. NJ. Mailing Han.
sen, director OF the deaf and dumb
mute institution at Copenhagen, has
for three years weighed and measured
his pupils daily and he has discovered
that their growth does not take place
regularly and progressively, but
by stages separated by intervals
Of rest. Weight also increases by
periods after Intervals equilibrium.
While the weight is increasing the
stature remains nearly stationary and
vice versa. The maximum Of increase
Vt SCtGuIe corresponds with q perlOQ
OF minimum. augment alton OF weight.
The vital forces do not appear to
work on both sides at once. These va
riations ase subject to, the Influence OF
the seasons. During the autumn and
early wiater, according to M. Mailing
Hansen, the chila aecumulates weight
while his stature increases slowly; but
during spring, stature receives veri-
table push, while weight increases but
little. Some local habits have an in.
huence on the stature. Stendhal re

reformed vertebral columns, or were a

vailing in Rome that parents could
promote the growth OF their chsllIdreR
by punching them in the back.

The Wrong Man.
From the New York Sun.


There is a small-sized tough in
Scranton who has developed into a.
bruiser, and he makes it a point to
pick quarrels with peaceable stran-
gers, just to have an excuse for fight
ing. In the mems waitlng-room of the
Delaware, Laekwanna & Western sta
ton the other day, the small-sized
tough tackled a raw-boned resident
of the backwoods, who was waiting
to buy a ticket. He Was g. swarthy,
horny-handed man OF perhaps 35
year of age, and the tough began at
him by jogging the tottering railing
against which he was leaning. The
backwoodsman took his elbow from
the railing and stood up straight
without appearing to notice the pres
ence of the little meddler.
Then the bruiser, who pretended
that he was in a great hurry to buy a.
ticket, jostled against the country.
man purposely, and the countryman
backed away and gave him more
room. He again bumped against the
backwoodsman, and when the latter
made another effort to give the tough
all the room he wanted, the NEEDLE.

"Soy, Buckwheat! We step on me

tryman coolly. ~
''Well, if ye didn't, ye tried to-. and

The other passengers stepped out of
the way and the slugger put up his
fists, swung them around his head,
and said loud enough for them all to
hear:
"I don't let no--hayseed run over
me, an no buckWheat is goin' to git

Then he danced up to the country
man as though he was going to black

THE NORTHERN COUNTRY.
Topics of Interest Within the Confines
of Converse Co mty.

Special Agent Henry r. Fry returned
last evening from a two weeks trip to
Central Wyoming. The chief topic of
conversation is in regard to the ~organiza-
ton of Converse county. Messrs. Wells
and Wilson, two of the commissioners,
have met, but Mr.. Calkins, of Lusk, the
third member OF the board, has not yet
attended any of the meetings. Quite a
number of settlers are coming in to the
vicinity of Lusk and the new settlers are
always forerunners of many of their
friends. The country is finely adapted to
farming and some Nebraska people who
went there to look around with a view of
locating were very much astonished to
discover how wonderfully well grain and
vegetables thrived.
"Glenrock," said Mr.. Frye, has the
prettiest location for a TOWNSHIP l ever
saw. Deer creek is a magnificent stream
of the purest water. | never saw a min.
ing town with such a water supply. The
mines are now shut down, but they will
be started again by early fall. AS for the
coal, nc better IS found anywhere for do
nestle uses. Douglas is quite lively and
were the county organization question
settled it would boom. l do not know a
town of the same size which has a more
energetic set of citizens. Cattle are in
unusually fine condition. l didn't get
closer to the Hartville district that Wen
dover, but everybody there seems to have
the mining fever. Agriculture and min
ing are going to take a big Jump in East
ern Wyoming this season. The people
all feel very hopeful over the outlook"

The I&arlor Match is one of the best of
Hoyt's so called, comedies. 1t is full Of
catchy" situations, gives ample opportu-
nifty for the introduction of song and
dance business; the dialogue is loaded
down with quaint conceits and puns, some
bad and others timely and good. In the
handling by the Evans and Hoey combi-
nation nothing is lost. The action goes
along swiftly and smoothly and with the
grace of a trained ballet dancer, and the
ripples of laughter that greeted the first
advent of the book agent were repeated
and grew bigger and bigger, until it even
communicated to those on the stage, and
the fun grew more outrageous than ever.
Evans never overdoes his work. He is
perfectly natural, thoroughly at case and
is never at a loss for a gag" which
comes in just when it is most needed, and
it fits like a peg in a hole. Hoey is a
counterpoise to Evans. His face is the
picture of gloom, engendered by impecu-
mostly, and the expression never leaves it,
whether he is carrying off a redhot stove
or skipping across the stage with the fam
lily watch dog under his arm.

A youthful tramp who took up a per-
manent residence in the city Sunday
evening has evolved a plan of money
getting which is destined to become quite
popular among petty criminals. The
victim is always a Chinaman and the
chances for acquittal in case of apprehen-
sion consequently very good. This trav-
eler lounged about a Chinese laundry on
East Sixteenth street a couple of hours
yesterday afternoon and experienced no
difficulty in scraping an acquaintance with
the guileless proprietor.
John, all unsuspicious of impending
loss, retired to a rear room to stir a steam
ing basin of rice. Returning he missed
his visitor and the cash box Simultaneous
ly. The tramp was a hundred yards in
advance and gaining at every Jump when
the race commenced. With pigtail
streaming and teeth cleaning the heather
gave chase, but was unable to overtake
the thief, who boarded a convenient out
going freight with the cash box under his
arm. Standing at the door of a box car
the tramp smiled and yelled at the China
man.
Johns loss footed up about So. He
has secured a new coin repository, and
will hereafter keep it on the top shelf in
