stringent measures have been taken
to keep the organization to it's original

curIous Feat of the WIND.

j. R. Love spent Sisiday at his farm,
near Christiana, and it was there that
the incident occurred during the high
wind on Wednesday night, February II.
Mr.. James j. Hodge is tenant on Mr..
Loves farm and lives with his four
children, one grownup daughter, in a
little two-room frame house, 32xl7 feet
IN size. He says that near midnight he
heard the house creaking like it was
about to fall to pieces, then there was
jar and all was still. The children cried
out in alarm, and he jumped out of bed
to find that the house had been lifted
from its foundations by the wind, carried
about five feet beyond them and deposit.
ed fiat upon the ground.
The house was l.ot injured and not an
article in it was broken. A lamp that
was placed on the mantelpiece was not
thrown down.
The next day tie neighbors gathered
and raised the louise and placed the
foundation stones under it where it
stood, and the family is still living there
as heretofore.
The house is well built little struc-
ture, ceiled with pine planks.-Nashvilfe

How Carl schurz Looks.

Carl Schurz walks up Broadway every
afternoon to his residence, which is
somewhere above Thirty-fourth street
ON the west side. He does not appear to
change a particle in appearance, and
can be recognized as easily today by the
cartoons Tom Mast drew of him in 1875
IS he could then. Carl Schurz is not a
handsome man, either in figure or face.
He is lean and cadaverous, with red
whiskers and sharp nose that is habit
ually elevated in the air as if catching
an unpleasant odor. But there are few
nen on Broadway who are better known
Or oftener pointed out to strangers. He
has been caricatured until the public
generally knows him by sight. I am
told that he is a fine pianist, and that
frequently at night the neighborhood in
which he lives is edited by strains Of
music that float out from his home

When the high wind struck the city it
raised the snow about the capitol to such
an extent as to completely hide the big
edifice from people passing ON the oppo-
site side of the street. Street car horses
were unable to pull the cars along for a
time, and the scene was indeed wild
one. Several people were blown off their
feet. One woman attempted to cross at
Hawk street OH Washington avenue.
The wind lifted her off her feet, held her
in the air an instant, then carried her
feet upward, and let her drop on the
pavement. There was curious ex-
preston about the mouth as she touched
the ice covered pavement, and it took
half minute for her to realize that the
middle of the street was no place for her.

A Bogus Floater.

Here is an item from several exchanges
which is somewhat peculiar viewed in
the light of the fact that The st. Louis
Republic did not exist in 1880: A corked
bottle that evidently had floated about
2,0OO miles was picked up in the river
near Pointe Coupee, La, last week. 1t
was opened and the contents found to be
a slip of paper bearing these words:
'Thrown over at st. Paul, Mimi, 18th
of April, 1880, by R. G. Libby. Finder

what date and much oblige yours truly.

Mr.. Gladstone's Faith in Home Rule.

So certain has Mr.. Gladstone been
during the last five years of the ultimate
success of the home rule movement, and
of his eventual resumption of the pre-
miership, that when he left Office upon
the fall of his government in 1885, he
stored away most of his bric-a-brac and
other household goods in the garrets Of
the prime minister's official residence at
No. 10 Downing street, where they re-
main to this day. When his sons mar

He Saved Her Life.

Miss Susannah Warfield, by her will
filed at Westminster, left 500 to Mr..
Julius A. Hood, formerly Baltimore and
Ohio telegraph operator at Sykesville,
now at Mount Airy switch. This money
was left to Mr.. Hood to show her appre-
citation of his bravery when he once
saved her life at Sykesville. 1t was
about seven years ago. Miss Warfield
was going to Baltimore and had to cross
both tracks to get to the platform. She
was in the middle of the east bound track
and the passenger train was coming
along. Mr.. Hood was in his Office short
distance away and saw the danger. The
train was then only about 100 yards
away, and she could not hear it. Mr..
Hood ran and caught her and carried her
off the track. The engine came so close
to her that it touched her dress. It was
very narrow escape, and Miss Warfield
often expressed her high appreciation of
Mr.. Hoods brayery.-Baltimore Ameri-

A novel case has Just ended in the
common pleas court at New Philadelphia,
o. The Centenary Methodist Episcopal
church purchased an organ short time
ago on payments Of Professor Ortt, and
it seems ON account Of this the congrega-
ton became sadly divided. The testi-
mony showed that there was one pious
old lady particularly, known all over the
neighhorhood as "Aunt Eliza" who
looked upon the organ as the creation Of
the devil. She attended services regu-
larly, but the minute the organ began
playing the old lady would walk out Of
the church and sit upon the steps until
the music ended, and she would return
for the sermon, at the close of which,
when the music began for the closing
hymn, the old lady would resume her
seat on the church step and then return
for the benediction.
The organ being the cause of so much
trouble, the trustees were at their wits
ends how to get rid of it. One rainy
morning Professor ortt, having occasion
to pass the church. was amazed to see
the organ sitting out in the corner of the
field. There was no shelter over it, and
the neighboring chickens found it a
pleasant place to roost. The professor
brought suit at once against the trustees
of the church. The testimony devel-
oped the fact that the trustees had
thoughtlessly set the organ out in the
weather merely to please old pious Aunt
Eliza" The case was hotly contested
and a verdict rendered in favor of Pro-
fessor Ortt for the amount Of the pur-
chase price of the orgnn.-Chieago Trib-
