Bishop Wilson.

In recent number of the Staunton
Vtndtcdtor we find the following ref
erence to Bishop Wilson:
''Bishop Wilson is the son Of Rev.
NoryelI Wilson, who was Presiding
Elder of this, the Rockingham dis
trict, in 1886. The district then GOV
cred an immense territory and in
cluded what is now Montgomery dis
trict, but the Presiding Elder had
his home in Stauuton. The Bishop
spent some of his early years here
and is known to many here. The
fact was the occasion of very inter
esting incident at the session of Con-
ference in this city some years ago.
At the session of the Sunday School
Convention which met with it, Miss
SalIie Fuller, one of the oldest mem
bers of the church, now departed,
made brief address about the early
days of the church in Staunton. She
spoke of the days when. ,Norvell Will
son was Presiding Elder and of the
beautiful christian character of him
self and his wife, both of whom she
knew we'll. "And," she said, point
ing to Bishop Wilson, who was sitting
in the Amen corner Of the church,
'there is little Alpheus-many is the
time have dandIed him on my knee. -
Many of the congregation had: bee n
moved to tears by. the simple and
touching recolIections of the .Yenera-
BILE woman. and when they. turned to
look at Bishop Wilson they found he
had hid his face and was crying like
a child.''

That girls in some sections have

1t is the lives like the stars, which
simply pour down on us the calm
light of their bright and faithful be-
ing, up to which we look, and out of
which we gather the deepest calm and
courage. No man or woman of the
humblest sort can really be strong,
gentle, pure and good without the
world being better for it, without
somebody being helped and comforted
by the very existence of that good
ness.
Man must have occupation or be
miserable. Toll is the price of sleep
and appetite, of health and enjoy
ment. The necessity which over
comes our natural sloth is blessing.
The world does not contain a brier or
thorn which nature could have spared.
We are happier with the sterility,
which we can overcome by industry,
than we could have been with spon-
taneous plenty and unbounded pro-
fusion. The body and the mind are
improved by the toll that fatigues
them.
THAT tired feeling is entirely overcome by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, which gives feeling OF
buoyancy and strength to the whole system.
1t is not by any means the poorest
among us, the most unfortunate, or
those who hear the heaviest burdens,
who are the most dtscontented. Often
it is, on the other hand. such as are
we'll supplied with comforts, and
whose lots are cast in the pleasantest
places, who thus torment themselves
and others with continual meanings
over slight annoyances and fancied
tribulations, while some who have
many and real Affections bear, them
with a brave and noble spirit and
meet their fellow-men with a gener-
ous cheerfuIness.

Queer Circumstances Attending MfS
Ellen ROoney'S Sudden Death.

The people who live in the big double
tenement-house at ia Bleeeer street are
much exercised over the sudden death
last evening of Mrs. Ellen Rooney. who
lived with her husband. John Rooney, in
an attic room on the top floor. Each was
between fifty and sixty years Of age, and
they have several grown-up children.
John Rooney sold coal and wood in q
basement in South Fifth avenue. and his
wife went out washing. They were con-
stantly quarrelling. and Rooney would
often go of on protracted sprees, coming
homo every now and then and giving his
wife q beating. the neighbors allege, II
she didn't give him the money which he
demanded,
=Rooney has been on jamboree for the
past week, and several days ago the
tenants OF the house were disturbed by
q great racket in the Rooney apartment.
Old John was giying his wife a clubbing.
and ha finally left her with black eye
and several bruises about the head.
Mrs. Rooney went down to the rooms of
the Feeleys ON the floor below yesterday
afternoon and said she was feeling very
i'll. She lay down on the sofa, and they
gave her glass of milk. When she got
worse they sent for a priest from st.
Joseph's Church. who arrived only few
moments before the old woman died. She
seemed TO be in great pain before she
died. and 1t was very difficult for her to
breathe.
The neiRhbors all thought that her
death must have been caused by her hus-
bands ill-treatment, and the police were
sent for. Oficer Mccarthy. OF the Mer-
Ger Street Squad came around, and when
he saw the bruised face of the dead
woman and heard the stories OF the
neighbors he went out TO look for
Rooney.
He found him lying dead drunk in his
own room and took him to the station.
A woman named Reddy was also detained
as q witness.
Rooney denied in court this morning
that no had beaten his wife lately, but he
was held TO await ths result of the Coro-

PROBING BIRCHELL'S RECORD.
Clues Sought in Connection with
Pickthall's Disappearance,
The Murderer OF Benweli May Have
q Blaclter Record Yet.
ESPECIAL TO THE EVENING wonLp.I


NIAGARA FALLS, March 10. 1t Is prob
able that Mrs. Reginald Birchell. wife OF
the polished scoundrel who is held for
the murder of Frederick Benwell. will
soon be as free from the custody Of the
law as she is, in the popular mind, from
all suspicion of guilty concern in her
husbands crime.
There are now few people but believe
that the unfortunate girl was another OF
Birchelrs dupes, and that, though she
undoubtedly suspected something wrong
and was anxious over it, she never entered
into his plans with full recognition OF
their criminality.
The verdict Of the Coroner's jury. IN
cluding Mrs. Birchell as an accessory
after the fact" will carry little force in
view of all tho circumstance.
Brchetl is enduring life at Wellaud
Jail with the same easy indifference which
has marked his course IA prisoner all
along. He 10 utterly impenetrable when
approached on the subject of the murder.
| but he wards of questions in such q
way as to leave the impression, not that
the subject is an unpleasant one, but one
in which he has no particular interest
and about which he has not concerned
Meanwhile the authorities. having him
securely fastened for the Benweil murder,
| are looking for clues which may establish
his connection with other crimes as black.
The disappearance of Neville Piokthall.
once the comrade of Birchell. IS one of
the things the officers arc sharply poking
their inquiries luto. and they have already
got some facts worth considering.
Pickthall left Woodstock Feb. 10, tell
ing conflicting stories as to whore he was
going. He took 81, 900. raised by mort
gage on his farm, and said he would
| double the money before he returned. He
went to New York. he met the Birchells.
he has never returned. nor have he and
his 81 900 been heard of since.
Birchell's papers. found in searching
his luggage for clues in the Pickthall
| matter, furnish now evidence of his
versatility. showing that he has been q
theatrical agent, a photographers agent,
and an interested participant in various
| sporting matters, such as bench shows
and horse shows.
In connection with the papers relating
to his Photographic business. a batch Of
autograph letters was found, making
arrangements for sittings from Sarah
Bernhardt, Minnie Palmer. Fred Leslie
and other distinguished theatrical people.
Portions, Of correspondence with T.
were also found, establishing the fact that
Mellersh and Birchell were interested to-
gether In the advertising scheme by which
Benwen and Pelley were duped.
Pelley, by the way is kept in O most
uncomfortable strain by the constant
surveillance under which he will be kept
until the Birchell case Is settled. As the
man who probably narrowly escaped the
fate of Benwell, he Is. too, a great
curiosity to the public, and is stared at
and annoyed whenever he appears.

" BULL" BOOM IN READING.
Under Heavy Sales the Price Advanced

Those in early attendance at the Stock

quite lively circus The bulls in Reading
showed their hand early, and marched the
price of the stock from 3sh to 4OSs in the

The dealings were on a large scale and
the excitement increased so that the opera-
tors paid little attention to the Eest OF the
list.
The dealings in the stock during the first
hour of business aggregated nearly eight
thousand shares. The stock sold as high as
429A cash.
Before noon the furry was over and the
frightened short who were not able TO cover
ct the advance got over their scare and the
market began to settle back towards its
original starting PRICES.
At noon the stock was quoted at 309f.
Nearly 100000 shares OF the stock changed
hands during the forenoon.
The bull crowd in the street which mAnip-
ulated the squeeze Was jubilant, while the
spirits of the bear crowd, which were q big

ceptibly dampened by to-dAy's set back.
