the previous entertainments of the repre-

will probably exceed in giitterlng features
anything ever seen in Washington.

and Wiped 1t Out.
PHILADELPHIA, April 21.-By too free
use of the paint brush the shepherd of
little flock of Methodists at CrozerYille,
Delaware county. has seriously injured his
popularity. His name is Cornelius Hud-
son, and prior to his entrance upon minis
terial career he was painter by trade. A few
weeks ago he took up his brush again and
hence all the trouble. The difficulty is
all about large water-color sketch illus
trative of the line "Simply to Thy Cross 1
Cling" which was several years ago painted
upon the church wall in the rear of the pull
pit 1t represented gray stone cross to
which maiden with disheveled locks and
clad in a somewhat neglige costume was
clinging tenaciously, while the break
ing waves dashed high above her
naked feet. This picture was an
object of especial pride to
all except few members of the congrega-
tion, who were shocked at it for reasons
easily imagined. When the good people Of
Crozerville repaired TO the sanctuary one
Sabbath morning few weeks ago they
found the walls staring at them blankly.
The painting had been obliterated, and, as
they afterward discovered, by the pastors
own hand.
The church folk were highly incensed,
but the trustees still more so. They had
granted no authority for such effacement.
and had had no premonition of it. One
trustee was particularly disgruntled at the
wanton destruction, and he threatened to
resign his high Office.
AT subsequent meeting of the board the
pastor smilinglY explained that he had
wiped out the object of his disgust with am
monia and water and had followed up his
destructive work with coat of fresh paint.
His excuse was that the clinging maiden's
nose was peeling off and that her gossamer
garments were cracking and falling away.
This excuse is regarded as lame one, and
the end is not vet

Backwoods Member Finds Reptile In a
BnG of Peanuts.
Albany (Ga.) News.i
If there is anyone in the world who can
beat backwoods member of the Legisla-
ture eating roasted ground peas, that person
is the average Superior Court bailiff. Now,
there isa bailiff in Albany who is no ex-
ception to the rule. One of his friends
knew this, and Thursday he set trap for
the bailiff. The friend fixed up small pa
per bag with a few peanuts and a small
dead snake in it. He walked into the court
room eating away on some ground peas that
he had in his hand. The bailiff, like war
horse scenting battle, caught one Whit of
them. 1t was too much for him, he.couldn't t
stand it, so getting up from his seat he
walkel rapidly by his friend, jerking the
bag, snake and all, out of his hand.
With chuckle of delight off went the Of
fcer to corner of the courtroom. He
turned up the bag to pour the coveted
COOLERS into his hand, when, horrors out
came the snake. That man just gave one
look at his hand-the snake seemed to move
and with the single exclamation of "Oh!'
the peanuts were scattered broadcast over
the floor, and now, lin Greer swears that he
will never eat another ground pea in court
as long as he lives.

NEW YOCATIONs FOR WOMEN.
Mending Bureaus, Purchasing Agencies and
Cake Shops Found Profitable.

Cake Shops Found Profitable.
Chicago Herald.1
Every day there are new vocations for the
gentler sex being opened up. Right here in
Chicago there are two or three women max
ing good living by running "mending
bureau" where they rejuvinate clothing of
all kinds for bachelors and families. There
are others who operate purchasing agencies
for people out of town who send in to have
their shopping done. Some weeks ago
lady in reduced circumstances began to bake
cakes and cookies for retail grocer who is
a friend of hers..-He was anxious to assist
her in some way and he sold her sweets.
Then the demand for them increased. Lady
purchasers gave big party orders and asked
who did this superb cooking.
Pretty soon the woman found it necessary
to branch out. She hired extra help as the
demand for her cakes increased. Now she
has a whole house and pays seven or eight
girls to cook under her supervision, while
she furnishes cakes, pies, bread, etc., for a
great many Southside families. She never
will forget her mothers lessons, which she
thought tasks at the time.

JEALOUSY LEADS TO MURDER.
Doubting Husband Kills His Wife ani

DoubtinE Husband Kills His Wife and
Then Commits Suicide.
ATTICA, IND, April pa double
tragedy was enacted here last night,
whereby the lives of Simeon Houts and
his wife were ended Both bodies
were found lying dressed on a bed in
the Houts house. The bedding was
saturated with blood. There were three
wounds on the body of Mrs. Houts, one d.
rectly under the left shoulder-blade, shot
from the rear, one through the heart, and
one through the fleshy part of the left hand
To take his own life the husband had made
but one Shot, and that sure one, through
the heart.
A half hour before the tragedy the two
were down town shopping and appeared in
good spirits. They were in their night
clothes when found, and evidently were
preparing for bed. No one witnessed the
shooting or heard the quarrel that led to it,
the five children being in their beds in an
other portion of the house. When the
firing commenced the Oldest child, aged IL,
ran to a neighbours and said:l "Papa is kill
ing mamma"
There is no evidence to show the cause of
the shooting, but it was probably from
jealousy, Houts doubling that his wife was
true to him. About a year ago he begun
proceedings for a kdivorce, but a settlement
was made.

PHILADELPHIA, April 21.-The Trus-
tees of the Drexel Industrial College for
Girls, which is to be established next fall at
Wayne, Delaware county, will hold
their first meeting tomorrow. For some
time past Messrs. Drexel and Childs and
others interested in the school have been in
specting various institutions that are man.
aged on basis resembling that of the pro-
posed Wayne college, and have secured
many valuable suggestions bearing on the
work in hand. Mr.. ChIlds, in speaking of
the Wayne school yesterday, said:
There is, really no college in the country ex-
actly like that which Mr.. Drexel has in view.
The Wayne Industrial School will receive
young women after they have laid the founda-
tions of their education, and they will be in
structed in music, painting. typewritiug,
stenography, chemistry, and any other branches
which women can take up practically in life.
1t is our hope that when our students have
graduated they will be able to get positions
paying them from ST. 900 to s. 600 instead of $500
or $500, which they would probably receive
without special training In any direction.

The Navy Department hears Nothing of the
Missing Monongahela.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
WASHINGTON, April 21.-For the past
few days good deal of anxiety has been
felt at the Navy Department as to the fate
of the Monongahela, which sailed from San
Francisco for Samoa, laden with coal and
naval stores, more than 60 days ago. No
word of her arrival has yet been received,
though she should have reached Apia 20
days ago, and news of her arrival should
have come before this, by way of Auckland.
The authorities of the navy are beginning
to fear that she was foundered in the same
hurricane which created such havoc in the
harbor of Apia. She was not in particularly
good condition to Withstand such shaking
up as she would have received in the track
of that storm.

A WISCONSIN TOWN sCORCHEp.
Fifteen Buildings Totally Destroyed With a
Loss of S225, 900.

MILWAUKEE, WIS, April 21.-West
Depere, Wis, was almost swept out of ex-
istence by fire yesterday. 1t was not until
noon to-day that the flames were gotten
under control. The conhagration began in
the Meiswinkel wooden ware factory, and
thence spread rapidly till 30 houses were in
flames. There was a strong wind blowing,
and all attempts to subdue the fire proved
unavailing, despite the efforts of the people
from the surrounding country who came in
and formed a bucket brigade.
About the same time an incendiary fire
was started in another part of town, and the
towns of Fort Howard and Green Bay were
telegfaphed for aid. They responded with
engines and men, and worked all night to
subdue the fire.
The loss to the chair factory is about
5000, ,00O with an insurance Of $50, 900. The
total loss on the Is buildings destroyed was
$225, 900, with insurance of about $40, 900.

dropped another game to-day by poor fielding.

1t was ruled that it should count home run.
The score was SO counted for Latham in the
first inning, and when Daniels allowed Wolf
only two bases on the same hit in the seventh
the mob filled the held, threatening. After
