Usual REsuLr.-The perspiration was visible

Miller was giving him a severe reprimand for
shooting Chas. Henderson near 18th and
Boundary streets a week age. Both are young
colored men, and the shooting was accidental.
SUITS" remarked the judge. II can't do any

dental; but I wish could Why didn't you
point the pistol at your own facet I am sorry

you will have to be let go this time. The case
is dismissed.

every seat in Congregational church was filed
last night by one Of the finest audiences ever
gathered in the edifice The entertainment
provided by Mr.. Gericke's orchestra and Mr..
Baermann the pianist, was it is needless to
say, entirely worthy Of this fine assembly. The
four numbers on the program we're rendered
in manner that even the severest musical
critics admit to be almost faultless and in every
way worthy Of the noblest creations Of the great
composers. Mr.. Baermann, the pianist, left the
impression of easy mastery by his quiet method
of work, which in no degree distracted the at
tention of the auditors from the beautiful COM
position he made again to live in all its power
and sweetness.

has been growing for years in Jewish circles. II
should be borne in mind that it has nothing to
do with the question of continuing the Oh.
servance on our sabbath, the seventh dav Of
the week. All that ID involved is the expedi-
ency Of holding services in the synaRoeues on
the first day Of the week. The majority of the
Jews oppose the first day-services because of a
dangerous tendency which they think il vould
develope toward an abandonment OF our sab
bath. Those in favor of the frst-day services
are % entirely because they believe il would
give IN opportunity 10 attend church 10 thoee

these Sunday services are now being held. and
are very sucoessfuL But the movement Is a

and he tells Inc that this Agency has
been In existence only little over q

cent Of his losses. He says he il salts
fled he can mark his goods the com

just ~ much, as his losses will be al
most nothing. This Agency Is good
for the merchant and 1t Is good for
us consumers, and for one am in IA
vor Of trading with the merchant that
not only protects himself, hut pro-

would buy only what he could pay
for, the world would be far better
than 1t now is, as debt causes more
