How Clerical travelling Man Won n,

How u Clerical Travelling Man Won Bet.
The Sunday School Convention
held here, says the Lewiston me. }
Journal, has brought hither some
of the brightest and most interesting
ministers in New England. And it
was not surpris ng to find that among
these earnest and successful preachers
were some unusually good story tellers
for q man who can't tell story well
at the dinner table can't reach people
we'll from the platform. One brilliant
conversationalist and story teller, who
took an important part in the conven-
ton, was Rev. A. b. Dunning, ID. d.,
manager of the Congregationalist Pub
fishing House and Sabbath-school
work, and one of the busiest men in
Boston. DIR. Dunning is an off-hand,
approachable man, with bright, win
ming face, easy manner, and personal
magnetism that contributes much to
his success. He has none of the out
ward signs of the clerical calling, but
travels nearly all of the time, and he
generally passes as drummer, and is
recognized by the fraternity as one of
their number. On going into Min
nelpolis one Saturday evening,
smart young fellow approached him
in a free-and-easy way: Going 70

drummer was there, according TO his
promise, and could hardly believe his
ewes when he saw his friend OF the
night before ascend to the pulpit. DR..
Dunning tried to find him after the
service, but he had fled. One OF the
Doctors stories was that of quaint

Tar loss of articles from hotel rooms

THE loss of articles from hotel rooms,
dining room, and other departments of
large hotel, is considerable item of
expense. a guest who, from force Of
.bit or carelessness, packs articles not
oelonging to him into his trunk, or
puts them into his peck is, is not
guilty of larceny, but the result of his
act upon the hotel is the sumo as if he
were. The hotel loses whatever he
takes. An inventory at the end of the
year in big hotel discovers enough
discrepancies, even with n replac ament
during the year of missing articles,
to warrant constant and eternal Wig

cles, which are easily carried away

YoUNG men in business should
keep up their reading and acquire a
love for literature. 1t will be solace
for them in old age; it will enable
them to spend proftably what would
otherwise be an idle hour, and on
many occasions when feeling of lone
illness becomes ovcrpowering enables
them to find consolation in book in
stead of in miscellaneous and worthless
company. Take the text from
Proverbs iii. 13, Il, and place it
in your note book: Happy is the
man that fndeth wisdom and the
man that getteth understanding, for

thereof is more than fine gold"

The People Aroused.

CHARLESTON, s. O., July SIT begins
to look now as though McDow's "little
indiscretion,". (which he so confidently ex.
pected his friends to overlook, may give
him more trouble than he anticipated.
The publication of an interview with
Clerk of Council Simmons, in which he
states that the best people in Charleston
indorae the verdict, has raised q storm of
indignation in the community that will
probably find vent in q public Indignation
meeting. The key note of this sentiment
is voiced in letter published to-day, and
which, tits said, is written by prominent
clergyman, in which the writer says
Gas Law abiding citizen I earnestly
protest against any official of the city
government undertaking to represent the
sentiment of the community on this sub.
ject. I believe that this verdict filled the
hearts of many of our people with grief
and shame that it is regarded as blow
to our good and an injury only equaled by
some of those Affections with which nature
has visited us"
The publication, too, Of the editorial
comments of the newspapers has had a
very perceptible effect. The newspaper
here which has defended Mellow from
the very dag of the murder, and is the
exponent of the Mellow element in the
community, is out in an editorial de.
nounciug these editorial comments. The
writer says:
There are class of writers at the north
who seize upon every incident which may
be construed ipjuriously for our section to
frantically e1claim that northern capital
will not 60 south unless things are altered.
All those individuals who desire to place
their capital out on purely sentimental
grounds would very probably find abun-
dant opportunity in the north, and repe.
tition of this threat has simply become
wearisome.
DR.. McDow is also in trouble with the
medical society Of which he was elected 8
member only a month or so before be
slew Captain Dawson. 1t is said he sent
his letter of resignation on Monday last,
but that the society refused to receive it,
the intention being to expel him. The
letter was laid upon the table, but ii will
probably be accepted later on, in order
to avoid the tiresome process of going
through the process Of q trial which is re-
quired by the society's constitution. 1t is
