THE DEACON TOOK THEM IN
They Went to Serenade but
Stayed to Pray.


An Oxford county, Me-, deacon lost
his first wife with whom he had lived
fifty years, and in due time, the Lewis
ton journal says, he took another bride
to Solace his declining days. Such a
proceeding, although warranted both by
Holy Writ and by human precedent
caused considerable talk in the neigh
borhood on account of the deacon'S adj
vanced age, and some of the young peo-
pie proposed to give the couple an old
fashioned Serenade. So they gathered
large and noisy crowd together,
equipped themselves with circular
saw, chime of cow bells and band of
horns and set up a frightful din in
front of the deacon's house several
hours after the old gentleman and his
brice had retired.
The first alarm brought the deacon to
the door. The serenaders expected a
storm of righteous rath to burst upon
their heads-and were prepared to meet
it with tempest of horn, saw and cow
bell.
"Gentlemen," said a mild voice,
won't you come imp"
A hush fell upon the crowd, and they
stared in silent wonder at each other.
That couldn't be the deaconl
They drew nearer and took a better
look at the figure standing in the door
way.
Yes, they could plainly see by the
candle which he held that it was the
deacon.
"Wife and l would be pleased to have
you all come in," he said again.
Disconnected, but unable to resist the
invitation, they filed into the house.
The deacon and his wife provided
chairs, and they all sat down. Then
the good old man took the family Bible
from the shelf and read a passage of
scripture in clear voice. Having fin
ished the chapter, he closed the good
book, knelt doMn, and said fervently:
'Let US pray"
The company listened respectfully to
long prayer. in which the deacon
asked for a special manifestation of
heavenly grace to the misguided youth
of the community.
"Now my young friends" said he, Il
know that some of you have good
voices. Let's have a little music"
He passed around the hymn books,
his wife pitched the tunes and the COM
pany Joined in. They sung several of
the Moody and Sankey favorites, and
before they knew it were having as
good time as if they were pounding
the hewgag in the front yard.
At last, in polite way, the deacon
babe them good night, ana said he
would be very glad to see them again.
They went away full of respect for
the old man, wishing him long enjoy
ment of his new-found connubial bliss,
and wondering whether they had sere-
naded the deacon or the deacon had
Serenaded them.

A GAME OF FREEZE-OUT.
Commissioners Gjertsen Is Not in
the Combine alton.

the Combination.
The alliance defensive and offensive
between Mayor Babb and Police Com
missioner Guile is working like charm.
The board met yesterday morning, and
Commissioner Gjertsen suddenly found
that he was mot in it," so to speak. 1t
has been customary when there are va
cancies to fill OH the force for each COM
missioner to name man for whom
the others vote. This has been the
plan of distributing the patronage.
When Mr.. GjertSen arrived little
late he found that the mayor and Com
missioner Guile were about to pass
upon a list of six applicants for ap-
pointmentS as patrolmen-John F. Rut-
lege. A. j. Stewart, Michael Lynatt.
August Noren, W. H. Finnegan and
Robert Plunner. Commissioner Gjert-
sen expressed surprise at the change in
the. rule, but Mayor Babb and Commits
sioner Guile paid little attention to him
and continued calmly with the business.
Two of the applicants, Finnegan and
Stewart, were present and passed
through the prescribed formula of an
examination.
Have you paid any person or per-
sons any money to enable you to get on
the police fOrce?' was asked of each of
them.
II have not paid any money to any
one." said Finnegan.
II haven't paid cent, and don't eX-
pect to- replied Stewart.
Commissioner Guile then moved that
the men be accepted and referred to the
police commission for physical exam
nation.
At this Commissioner Gjertsen said
he desired to postpone the appoint
ments until the next meeting. He had
not been advised of any change in the
rules for appointments. Besides, he
desired to-
Il have desired good many things
that you did not see fit to grant," re-
torted the mayor.
'But these men are not needed on the
force"
But they are needed on the force"
Here Commissioner Guile moved that
adjournment be taken to this morning
at $50 O'Clock, and that the remainder
of examinations be held at that time.
Commissioner Guile and the mayor
voted aye and that settled it. GJertsen
had no more influence than if he did
not belong to the board. 1t was the old
game of freeZe-out by which Mayor
Ames was formerly kept from having
voice in his own administration.
Mr.. Gjertsen said nothing, but kept
up heap of thinking, evidently.
Commissioner Guile was quiet, even
to dumbnesS.
Mayor Babb did not appear to be talk
alive. and looked as though he did not
observe Gjertsen's presence in the room.
There was no discussion. no pickering
Everything was entirely harmonious.

HOTEL CHANGES.
The Brunswick Closes Its Doors
Monday - Manager Shepherds
Decision

The Brunswick Closes Its Doors
Monday Manager Shepherds
Decision.
The Hotel Brunswick will be closed
Monday. The hotel has had precarious
career since it opened last January,
under the management of Dunn q
Minten, who, after losing $1,000 in as
many months, retired, and sold out to
j. P. Dunn. The house has continued
to lose steadily, and Mr.. Dunn IS said to
have disposed of the furniture to E. E.
who has leased the Metropolitan
hotel at st. Paul, which he intendsi to
open Sept. l. The furniture was
mortgaged at the outset to the New
England Furniture company, which
furnished the house throughout, for
$4,000, the full value. On this mort
gage 1900 has been paid, and it is this
equity that has been sold to Mr.. Records.
Manager Harris, of the New England
Furniture company, has, however, be-
gan an action in Teplevin, and will object
to the removal of the furniture to the
Metropolitan unless some compromise
is effected, so there is liable to be a
legal squabble over the possession of the
furniture.
Notwithstanding the fact that Man
ager Shepherd denied recently that he
is to leave the West hotel and devote
his entire energies to Hotel Auditorium,
it develops that he is going to do that
very thing. Col. West dislikes to have
him go, but it is agreed by all concerned
that Mr.. Shepherd in justice to him
self could hardly manage two of the
largest hotels in the world situated
nearly 500 miles apart.

ALL SORTS.

Drop a ball over the plate and hear
the Omahas kick.
Commissioner Gjertsen cannot see
and improperly in his circulars. The
commissioners sight must be growing
dim.
If Mayor Babb signs the Lowry con-
tract he will be credited with ''Sacri
flee hit" in base ball parlance. ItwOn't
advance him a base, but it will put
Thomas Lowry on home plate.

is now definitely known to be off. The
syndicate asked for an extension of

money forfeit was putup This has not
been done, and for the time being the

happy over the arrival of the first drive
of new logs. 1t contains 100000 feet
of logs, 40 per cent of which belong to
the Rorey, DeLaittre and the He. AXE

distributed pretty generally among the
other mills. The boom company started
a $4,000. O00-foot drive from Bralnerd on
Thursday, which the recent heavy rains
will materially aid in pulling through.
The prospect for logs is still good for
most of the mills, and more than an
average cut may be predicted.

RUSTON CONTENTION NOTES.

We met, on the train Sunday last,
Father Maize, of Lake Providence.
He delivered, with the exception of
Prof. Knapp's, the best address we
heard at Ruston during the session of
the immigration Convention. He
evinced a knowledge Of statistical in
formation and personal observation
second to none in the Convention.
No other delegate from East Carroll;
he represented his parish and that
well. His explanation of the superb
GRITTY of our alluvial soil, the cause Of
this wonderful richness, &c, was both
interesting and instructive. He ex-
planned, in a clear, forcible way, the
reason or reasons. That for centuries
the rich top surface of the land had
been washing off and settling in these
bottoms. The levees now protect us
from the disadvantages of high water,
thus leaving to US rich and fertile
alluvium. and the richest country on
the face Of the earth. Next to follow
this learned gentleman was Col. A.
B. Cooper, who read an excellent ad-
dress in the interest of Richland
parish.
Col. Chas. A. Bryan, of Franklin,
also read an. excellent address. The
swamp parishes, as they were termed,
were ably represented, or We should
say, presented by those three gentle
men, whose addresses compared favor
ably with those of any other parish.

however, that they contemplate hav-
ing an affair of their own in the near
