UMBRELLAS FOR CRoCoDILEs.

UMBRELLAS FOR CRoCODILES.
"Well, declare, Uncle Josh has nothing
in his ponds like these, calculated Sadie.
Big enough for umbrellas over the croco-
die, if he wanted any to keep the rain of
him" said BERTHE.
Eyes, but rain would keep these leaves
smaller, interrupted Superintendent Will
lam Hamilton, who had been a silent specta-
tor of the youthful amaZement. LET me
tell you something about these lilies, and
then you will know why your Uncle Josh
does not grow them on his ponds in Ohio.
These gigantic water lilies come from South
America. They inhabit the tranquil rivers
that are tributary 10 the great Amazon river,
which your biographies tell you of. In
botany, or the study OF flowers, we would
say that it belongs to the genius of nymphR-
acaoe or water lily family. The earliest
record of the flower is by Haenke in 1901,
and the first specimen sent out of South
America Tor exhibit was to Paris in 1928. "
SOME GIGANTIC LEAVES.
Superintendent Hamilton smiled as he
noticed the perplexed expressions on the
faces of his little hearers, and reaching out
into the basin, he showed them the seed por-
tion of the flowers.
1.-The Spaniards collect this seed," he ex-
plained, knowing he could interest them
now, land eat them roasted. For that rea-
son they call the lily and its seed water
maize They still use the seed for food.
Even in the southern part of the United
States the Indians used the seed of water
lily for food.
'These leaves you see, when well grown,
as they are this summer and fall. reach the
dimensions of 81 feet in diameter, with
rim inches thick and a flower II inches
across its top"
"Oh," exclaimed the girls both at once.
''For a good while now," continued the
Superintendent, "we have been getting
three flowers a week from this lily. With
each flower comes new leaf.
LIKE FAIRY BOATS.
'The leaves grow in size very RAPIDLY,
beginning small. and gradually reaching
the huge sizes told you. One day this
summer timed the growth of a leaf by
marks, and found that it grew exactly Is
inches in diameter in "a hours"
You could almost see it grow" spoke up
one of the girls now deeply interested in the
talk.
Yes, you could actually see these leaves
grow" replied Mr.. Hamilton. "Fifteen
inches in "a hours is more than half an inch
an hour. Place on leaf any instrument OF
precision, or even fasten to it a small stick,
and then watch the leaf getting bigger
around every hour. The leaf will sustain
a remarkable weight. Place on one which
is full grown a circle OF quarter-inch boards,
and upon them could stand a child weigh
ing so pounds. 1 am going to do that here
next year, and you must be sure to come
and see what will be fairy boat made out
of lily leaf"

REV. GRAY breaches.
Losing Religion Gard Playing Chris
tians.

At the Second Baptist Church last
Sunday at IL A. NJ, Rev. VIM. Gray
preached from l. John 4: "God is
love: theme The Evidence of God"
He pictured the relative condition
of man without sin. His language
abounded in figures, and the rhe-
torical effort was fine. Had man
never sinned, he would have occupied
the condition of a serf. AS it is he
occupies the condition of a son. Had
man never sinned, he would have
moved on in even felicity AS it is
with his trials and tribulation he
can better enjoy the beauties of the
hereafter"
He referred to the setting apart of
Saturday at the Sam Jones Meetings
as a special meeting for colored peo-
pie. White people go to heaven every
day in the week: Negroes ON Satur-
day.
Where is the doctrine that the
church of God is established on
Peter? He is too weak. Not on the
Pope because he had the rheumatism
one morning, not on the Cardinal be-

what do you expect to do with that

The funeral of Mrs. Martha Jane
johnson, (who died June 4th instead
of May took place at Mt. Salem
Baptist Church on the 18th inst.
Deceased was well-known, and had
many admirers; she was "a favorite
|of her community, and was much
thought of by her many acquaintan-
ces abroad. She had lived a Chris
tian having been brought from dark
ness to life at an early period of her
life Her death caused many to feel
sad, although her spirit rests with
the blest in that great, and costly
mansion where death is unknown.
Her death was surprise to many
although her sufferings were great,
she did not keep her bed It'll just a
few days before she died. Not long
before she became SO feeble, her sister
Mrs. Rosa Little, of New York City
wrote to her. asking her TO come and
spend the esummer-that she thought
it would improve her health. She
real the letter carefully, but express
ed no desire to answer it; and laying
it aside said: "Ah well, Rosa will
never see me again in this world"
She was strictly religious, and in her
suffering she often reminded those
around her that Christ was all her
trust.
She leaves a husband, mother, two
children, two sisters, and one broth
er to mourn their loss. Deceased
had taken advantage of the summer
of life, and in only few years had
become quite well-to-do, had toiled
| faithfully with an affectionate hus-
| band and was entering the gateway
| to prosperity, when the Lord saw tit
Ito take her home. But before dying.
"a acalled her flesrs : gIcffptaIstces anu

K5os tsle tame OF day. Upon being
told, said: . / am going to leave you
atnine o'clock. She latter telling how
TO raise her two children) went ac-
lcordingly. She was u member of
Class Z. Grand Fountain, u. o. of
True Reformers. The Church was
draped, and each heart seemed sad
dened, the fact being that not only
the family and relations, but the
whole neighborhood had been be-
reft.
The funeral was officiated by Revs.
w. j. Thompson and II. Taylor
Rev. Thompson took for his text
John XVI-5th verse: "But now | gC
my way to him that sent. me; and
none of you asketh me, whittier goest
thou2" After the sermon was
through, her remains were borne Just
a few yards from the church, wher,
awaited that which most if not al
! must come to. At the grave Rev
| Charles Lee sang =" Unveil thy
! bosom, faithful tomb" The faith
, full ladies who had cared so much fo
; her when in health, who had been 81
watchful around while i'll sickness
, further demonstrated their devotion
by nearly hiding the grave with rich
arranged floral designs. Obi hoy
sweet it is TO be beloved: and to be
Il christian.
Il Another honor rules the day, anothe
home is sad
Another mortal dies to-day, but sti
her soul is glad
We grieve to see our loved one 90
for long she's been our choice,
Believe me while you sigh for her
right now she do rejoice.

TO QUASH THE DAMAGE SUIT.

GroetzlnSer Says the Landlords Warrant
Was Not Against Lntimcr-The Central
Traction Company Sued by the City
An Action on Locks.
In the Court of Common Pleas No. yes
terdsy an application was made by c. 5.
Fetterman and Frank Whitesell, attorneys
for Groetzinger, to quash the S5O, ,OOO DAM
age suit in the case of 7. M. Latlmer
against Edward Groetzinger and William
Billings, constable, which was instituted
last Saturday and published in the
Sunday and Monday newspapers. Inc
landlords warrant issued by Mr..
Groetzinger was against Marshell q
Anderson and not against 7. NJ. Latlmer at
all, and was for $40, 900 for one years rent
from April /, 1889, to April !, 1880, and winch
rent was payable in advance, in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the lease De-
tween Marshell & Anderson and Groetzlnger
Neither Marshell nor Anderson nor 1. NJ. LaII,
mer, il is claimed, have paid any rent d. an
since April ], 1889. and almost one year 10 oate.
Mr. Latlmer stated that he has made some
tenders of rent. although he has not pald any
thing to Mr.. GroetZinger or any person else
for the premises he has occupied during tne
past year. and in selling carpets. contrary TO
the terms and conditions of the lease between
Marshell & Anderson and Mr. Groetzinger.
Mr.. Groetzinger desires to have the terms
and conditions of the lease carried out; II MI.
Latimer occupied the premises for the last
year. and did not sell carpets and oil cloths,
then his rent would be 5000 per year; in case
carpets were sold upon the premises upto April
l. 1890, then Marshell & Anderson, or their
assignee, would pay at the rate OF so.OOO ad-
ditional rent per year, or SlOOOO per year. IL is
not denied that Mr.. Latimer occupies the
premises on Federal street, Allegheny, and that
he has paid nothing for his occupation of the
premises since he went into possession in April,
1889. All Mr.. Groetzinger desires, from what
can be gathered from the several suits now
pending, is that Mr.. latimer be required to
keep the covenants in the Marshell Ander-
son lease. This MIR. Latimer refused to do, and
hence the contention between the parties, and
LatImer still holds the premises the same as
stranger. The warrant issued was to obtain
the actual rent due by Marshell & Anderson,
and if Mr.. Latimers goods, or any other
strangers goods were upon the premises at the
time the warrant was issued the goods would
be liable for the rent.
SMr. Groetzinger, in his affidavit presented to
Judge Slagle yesterday, sets forth that he is a
treeholder, and that the suit brought by Mr..
Latimer for damages was without authority.
and contrary to law. The rule
was opposed by Messrs. Ferguson and Imbrie,
for Latimer, but Judge Slagle granted
he rule, notwithstanding the strong protest of
counsel for Mr.. Latimer. The final argument
will no doubt take place the last of the week,
when a final order will be made by the full
bench, in all probability.
