a Cool Clergyman.
Ta-F.t-. T..-r

Down in Durham, Me-, they are laugh
ing at the GOODNESS OF q clergyman who
was called to South West Bend Sunday
night to marry couple. He had nearly
completed the ceremony, when, hearing
a noise outside, he glanced through tho
window and saw his team running past
and nobody in the wagon. He rush
ed to the door, too late to stop tho
runaway, but he could hear the rattle
OF the wheels ashley sped overthe ooun-
try road out toward West Durham. The
probability Of his carriage being wrecked
and his horses injured, if not killed, did
not appear to distress the divine, for he
went back into the house, remsrking
that he guessed he'd finish the ceremony
before starting out in the darkness after
the team. The balance of the ceremony
was performed, then the runaway team
was captured three miles away.

BETTER THAN EDlsON's DOLL.
Drop in n Dime and You Get Telephone
Connection.
~. ~ rl,-rIh


& dime-in-the-slot telephone is being
used in the Barclay Street ferry-house.
The machine has been placed on trial by
the Telephone Company. who hope for
good results. The scheme is 10 place
these telephones, il they work success
fully, in many public places where such a
thing would be handyand whore "pey "
Office would not pay. The telephone is
so arranged that you need not put in
your money until you get your man
ct the other end OF the wire, and the ar
rangement is such that only nickels,
dimes, quarters, half.dollars, and dollars
can be used. An illustration Of how the
telephone is used may best DO given by
q conversation. The man rings the bell.
Central " answers and the caller asks
for the number he wants. Central "
says, "Wait minute don't put in
any money until | see if you can get
your man." She then rings up the num-
Der called for, and if " Mr. Jones is in
she desiynates the amount of money ne
cessary to be dropped in in order to pay
for the connection. II "Mr. Jones is not
in you don't pay any money; if he is
you pay the amount dictated by "Cen-
trail. who has means of knowing how
much is deposited through the slot. If
the amount is correct the word is given
TO "go ahead" and you talk TO your
friend uptown or in Brooklyn or Boston
or any other place that has telephone
connections. The plan has not yet de-
monstratcd its praeticability, but when
it does others will be- placed in conve-
nient places. At present the one now
on trial IS used mostly by men from New
Jersey who come into the city on bust
ness and who find it handy to call up
the men whom they wish to see and
make appointments with them.

THE MISSION SOON TO CLOSE.
The Work Attended with Fruitful Re-
sults-The Feast of Conception.

sults--The Feast of Conception.
The mission by the Jesuit fathers
which has been going on at st. Peters
Cathedral for the past ten days will
close with the sermon tomorrow night
at 1880. Never in the history of this
church, probably, has like-work been
attended with such fruitful results. The
services, morning, noon and night, have
been well attended, even those at b
O'Clock in the morning.
The sermons of the mission in the early
part of this work were OF a penitential
nature, whereas those recently given
are on more entertaining subjects, allud-
ing to the mercy of God and the results
Of atonement. Sunday night Father
Himmel preached a splendid sermon on
matrimony, which was listened to with
great attention 10y the large audience
present. The sermon tonight at half
past Z and the concluding one tomorrow
night will be of unusual interest.
Yesterday in the Catholic Church was
the Feast Of the Immaculate Conception.
This is the patronal feast of this Church
in the United States.
