At Escanaba, Mich, Dolph Gaboury, for
many years II locomotive engineer on tho
Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, was
sparring in sport with friend. The friend
received a blow on the nose, which caused
that organ to bleed excessively. A doctor
was sent for, and ordered the man to lie on
his back. The blood flowed back into his
throat, causing death from strangulation.
Gaboury and the doctor have been held un-
der 1900 bonds to answer to the charge Of
manslaughter.

YOUNG Men and the Churches.

The "Chautauquan' says: One of
the unpleasant Gestures of religious life
is the lack Of young men Ia the church
es. The evilis not small one. 1t has
certainly increased in the last thirty
wears. Can the evil be removed or. at
least, reducedf We are confident that
some things can be done to improve the
situation. For one thing, the distinct
recognition of the fact that there are too
few young men in the church should
tend to better the record. Many ways to
60 about the enlistment of such soldiers
of the cross will be found. One of these
is that young men will not 60 very hear
tily into any enterprise when they can
only sit still, look on and listen. Old,
men may be taken il as parlor boarders
but young man must be set at work
or he will soon grow listless Besides,
young men can best win young men, and
il is la such work that the value Of youth
full members is always highest.
