EDITOR MATTHEW'S PRAYER BOOK.

When the late Rev. DR.. Ingersoll dice
in 1888, the present writer was called OF
to report the funeral services. In writ
ing up the account afterward occasion
arose to make direct quotation from
the Book of Common Prayer, and, mo-
finding the volume on the book shelves
of the editorial room, the quest was pur
sued in Mr. Matthews private office
Haven't you a prayer book of your
own ?" he asked. Here, wait p TAX
ing morocco bound copy from his deck
he wrote on its fly leaf line of presen-
tation, and lin memory of Dr. Ingersoll'i
funeral added the date and his owr
name, and, handing it to the reporter
said, There's present for you, Mr.. -
and let me say this : II you don't care
to read it for the moral lessons it con
tains, study it for the sake of its pure
English. There's no better use OF the
language to be found than in that book
know that's So" he added, with a
thoroughly characteristic touch of ap-
probation, because that is an edition
of the prayer book that | read every
word of the proof on it myself |" The
grateful recipient has studied that cher

At the Quantity of Trunks Minister Phelps
Brought from England.
New YoBK, Feb. Minister Phelps
has beaten James G. Blaine's famous
trunk record of last fall, Mr.. Blaine
brought home from England 81 trunks,
but Minister Phelps went HIM just 81
better. He had 101, When the Lain
was sighted Collector Magone instructed
the customs inspectors to facilitate the
passage of the Minister'S baggage with
all the expedition possible, All the in
spectors were eager to do this, and they
intended to see Mr.. Phelps, his family
and his trunks through in less time than
had ever been used before. Fifteen
minutes was the longest period of time
any of them estimated for the job. Just
as soon as the stevedores began to unlos d
the baggage from the hold of the Lain,
the inspectors devoted themst Ives to
Mr.. Phelps effects. The Minister'S son
remained at the pier to keep tally. For
| 10 or 10 minutes the inspector OF GUS

trunk issued from the steamer, aud
young Mr.. Phelps kept on with his dec
laration of its contents. Wearied and
bewildered, the inspectors continued
their work and resigned themselves to
the belief that the vast hold of the Lahn
contained nothing but trunks and val.
ises belonging to the Phelps family
Just about the time they had reached
this conclusion the last one appeared,
and the entire 101 were piled on the
pier. Most OF the trunks were sent to
the home of Minister Phelps in Vermont.
Minister Phelps, who, with his wife
and son, has been staying at the Bucking-
ham since his arrival in New York on
Saturday, is the recipient of much social
attention. Numerous invitations to
dinners and receptions have been ex-
tended TO him from people prominent in
society, and the messenger boys OF
the house have been kept busy carrying

THE SMALLRST TOWN.

Vermont has the smallest town in the
United States. II is Baltimore, perched
on the side of Hawks mountain, and Is
composed mostly of rocks and knobs.
Years ago it was part Of Cavendish.

tain. but voters had to go 10 miles to
cast their ballots; so, petition was cir
culated, and the town of Baltimore was
set off many years. The population in
1890 was rs, and there werp not enough
voters to fill the town offices, The yot-
ing list numbers scarcely a dozen, and
there are 90 offices TO fl. The town has
some material for trading making. In
the old French and Indian war General
Hawks camped near the foot of the
mountain that bears his name, and
graves are pointed out where two OF his
band died. Tradition says he crossed
where the mountain was 30 steep his
horses were let down by the tail and
name. In that same war corduroy
road was built up the north side Of the
mountain, through a 1uaking swarm.
The ancient roadbed still remains. IL is
said that lake existed on the summit
of the mountain in grove of spruces
and had the peculiarly Of being visible
TODAY and invisible tomorrow. An old
bayonet picked up where the lake IS
said TO have been, bearing evidences Of
having lain long in the water, tends TO
confirm that opinion. The mountain Is
very rugged and has an immense pond
OF water under it, from which flows a
large brook. The water in summer is
cold as ice. A water mill for wood saw
ing once stood on the brook, but it is de-
cayed. Baltimore is the birthplace OF
