BROOKIYS, y. Y, Oct l3.-The fam
Gus BROOKLYN Tabernacle, Of which Rev.
Dr. f. Dewitt Ta.mage IS pastor, Las Tor
tie second time lu lts history received
u. bdpJ sm of fre and for the second
time been totally destroyed. Ere was
discovered AZ 245 this morning by a
policeman. who turned IN an alarm.
The flames had gained such headway,
however, that the iremen were almost
helpless and turned their attention 10
saving adjoining buildings. The loss
on the church building, including the
organ, one OF the finest in the country,
is sl5o 900, but is covered by insurance.
Tie origin Of the fire is unknown.
Rev. I. Dewitt Talmage went to
Brooklyn from Philadelphia in March,
1909, and began MS work in building
which, though large, soon became too
small for the crowds who tiOcked to
near INN. In "A short time he became
20 popular that every Sunday the
church would be crowded IN every part
found half an hour before service, and
numbers would be seen around the
doors and IN the street In the nope OF
gaming admission. His success was
undOubted, and 1t was not long before
MS friends had resolved TO erect a
tabernacle capable of seating three
thousand persons.
He preached the opening sermon
himself, from the text, Compel Them
To Come m The text was peculiarly
appropriate, from the fact that DR..
Talmage had resolved that there should
be no pew-rents. The slttings were t1
be free, and might be obtained in the
order in which they We're applied for,
quite irrespective of the amounts
wh;ch the applicants might be able to
give toward the support of religious or
dlnances. There We're, of course, some
who thought such Il plan very doubtful;
but II succeeded so admirably that in
less than twelve months additional ac-
cOmmOdauOn had TO be provided.
The following pen picture of the Tab
ernacle has been written by one who
visited it: "Dr. Talmage's church is a
most cOmmOdiOus and beautiful build
ing, and has accommodation for 5000
people. It's shape externally Is that of
a half moon, with a good, roOmy gal
lery running all around the crescent
4 large, low platform Is placed in the
center. There Is no rail around it; the
only furniture upon il is 4 chair and q
small table of abOIt eighteen inches
diameter at the side. The large organ
stands in a recess behind the platform,
and below the platform other chairs
are arranged on either side Of the or
ganist. The floor of the church rises
gradually as it recedes from the plat
form. The building IS neatly decorated
and well lighted"

HUTCHINSON has been nominated
for Governor by the Iowa Republi-
cans. In their platform they de-
clare they are in favor of Protection
to American industries, when it
''does not foster Trusts or trade
conspiracies." Now the question
we desire our high protective tariff
neighbor, the Journal, to answer,
is this, does high protective tariff
foster trusts and combinations ? If
it does not, explain to us what the
Iowa Republicans mean when they
declare they are in favor of Protec-
ton to Ameaican industries, when
it "does not foster trusts and trade
conspiracies."

PROF. SIPE RESIGNS THE NORMAL
PRINCIPALSHIP.

Prof. @. A. Sipe, who has been
Principal of the State Normal School
at this place since 1888, and who
was recently reelected for the ensu =
ing year, rendered his resignation
to the Board Of Normal Regents q
few days ago, to take effect Sept. 1.
At meeting of the Board at Park
ersburg yesterday the resignation
was formally accepted, and a special
meeting called to fill the vacancy
next Monday week, at Pt. Pleasant.
Prof. Sipe's motive in resigning the
place whose duties he has discharged
SO efficiently, was a personal and
purely financial one. He was offered
Tho pernonort position or general
agent for the State Of West Virginia
OF the National Life Insurance
Company, Of Vermont, at lucra-
tive salary with opportunities for
advancement and concluded to ac-
cept it. Though less congenial the
position presents inducements of a
financial character which in Justice
to himself he thought he ought not
decline.
During Prof. Sipe's administra-
ton Of affairs the Normal has pros
pered as never before in it's histosy.
The attendance has largely increas-
ed the high standard Of its work
has been maintained, and il has
steadily held its place as the leading
educational institution Of the State
in point Of popularity and influence.
lie has been peculiarly devoted to
its interests, and the friends Of the
school everywhere will dccplyreqret
bis retirement.
Unfortunately the opening Of tho
fall term is less than three weeks
distance and the Regents will have
but little time in which to consider
the selection Of Prof. Sipe's success.

DEATH ON GOATS.

The doctors all over the United
States are experimenting upon all
the old chronic rheumatics and oc-
togenarian paralytics that they can
get hold of. They are playing into
their creaky frames with Bro wn
Sequard's elixir. Woe betide the
unhappy goat that is caught in a
tomato can pasture about the town
commons. He is Immediately car
rolled and lassoed, and some ten or
fifteen years of his valuable life
juice is Immediately extracted from
him. No sooner is this injected
into any Of the aforesaid subjects
than they Immediately begin to ca
per with the wild exuberance of a
harum scarum youth, to the disgrace
of their gray hairs or bald heads as
the case may be, and the disgust Of
their relatives.
But this does not prove anything
to us. Havn't we seen street fakirs
curing rheumatism by suffering
gasoline lamp in the public streets
nay havn't we seen old fellows
with jaws like pumpkins march up
to wagon and suffer one of these
blacksmith doctors to yank out teeth
that looked like beech stumps lately
blown up by dynamite, and yet
swear it didn't hurt them bit.
Wait a spell, the goat juice idea will
soon become a chestnut Wetzel
Democrat.
