Parson Lapwlng.

"Wife," said Parson Lapwing sadly,
On returning from the meeting
Ofthe trustees and the stewards
On the Onondaga circuit,
"Brother Avery informed me
For the trustees and the stewards,
That they could not raise the other
Fifty dollars that they owe Us.
Mrs. Lapwing's dark eyes fallen
Filled with tears ut the announcement,
For she knew the case was hopeless
With them as it was with others;
Knew that they could not collect it,
And must bear with any deficit.
Mrs. Lapwing had intended
To procure some winter clothing
For herself and for the children
When tLey got the fifty dollars;
And the thought of going threadbare
With her children through the winter,
Just because the board or stewards
Would not pay them, was provoking.
Prs7n Lapwing tried to take it
With the graces of "A Christian,
For he knew that If he did not,
They would never recommend him
To another congregation.
on the Sabbath day that followed,
Honest John, the village blacksmith,
Asked that he be given moments
Time, that he might speak in meeting.
az have toiled forty years
Ev'ry day beside the anvil.
And although I've saved but little,
have wronged no man a dollar,
And it is my prayer and purpose
That the church the Lord has died for,
And for which my tears have fallen,
Shall not do what have feared to.
have reckoned all my savings,
And it's but five hundred dollars,
Though I've toiled for forty five years
Ev'ry day beside the anvil.
Here's the fifty dollars, Lapwingl
Take it, for I'm sure you've earned 1t.
And I'll pay the same the next year,
If there should be any deficit"
You'll not need to- said the stewards,
Their respective faces reddening
As they looked with admiration
On the noble village blacksmith.
And it was not twenty minutes
Ere they raised the fifty dollars,
it to Parson Lapwing,
And returned the blacksmith's money.

should steal, he stated that his mother was troub

medicine that helped her, and being out of money
and work was the cause of his stealing. AS this

Fast Torpedo Boat.

OF course all builders strive for the
greatest speed, and each year has
seen a boat built that was faster than
any before. The palm for the high
est speed seems at present to lie be-
tween the English boat built for
France by Thornycroft-the Coureur-
and German boat built for Italy by
Schicau-the Nibbio. Each of these
boats can run nearly twenty-seven
knots an hour. A knot, you know,
is a sea mile, which is one and one
seventh land miles; so these boats
can make about thirty miles an hour,
or about the average speed of a rail-
road passenger train. Just think of
boat rushing through the water as
fast as train of cars runs over the
land
The next most important thing in
torpedo boat is quick turning and
for this purpose the larger Normand,
Schicau, and Yarrow boats have two
rudders, one in the usual place at the
stern, and one under the bow. Mr..
Thornycroft has another device. He
puts two curved rudders near the
stern and the propeller is between
them, so that when the rudders are
turned together, the water which the
propeller is driving astern is turned a
little to one side and helps to push
around the boat.
The latest idea in torpedo boats is
to have their launching tubes mount
ed on turntables on deck instead of
being fixed in the bow. With this i'm
provement boat will not have to
steam straight at her enemy, stop,
launch its torpedo, and then turn to
run away; but it can train its tube
on the big ship as if the tube were a
gun, and launch the torpedo while
rushing past at full speed. This
would be less dangerous for the tor
pedo boat, for it would not afford the
men on the ship good aim at her.

That Champlain Storm.

PLATTsBURG, N. Y, July 9.-Ips
now stated that the new Cham berlain
Hotel at Bluff Point was damaged to
some extent in yesterdays storm. A
Wallet named Valley was out ON the
lake, fishing, when the storm
struck him, overturning his boat and
drowning him. A man named Ryan,
living few miles west of this village
had one leg and an arm broken BY
the blowing down of his barn. The
damage cannot yet be fully estlma-
ted. A large barn owned by
Mr.. Fordham of Cumberland Head
and the large ice house of Brown
brothers and others in this section are
total wrecks. A great deal of DAM
age is reported from Grand Isle coun-
ty, Vermont. There are no wires
working in the Adirondacks and the
damage in that section is unknown.

HER RETURN.

An American Princess at the Opera
House.
Miss Jennie CaIef, prototype
of the Lolita soubrette school, ap-
peared at the Grand opera house last
night with her own company, in her
stock play, IAN American Princess.
This is of the regulation architecture
of border drama with toughs, shoot
ing irons, rocks, cactus aud Mexican
thrown in, but the old time redskins
left out.
1t is a sad commentary on the de-
cav of Poor Lo to note that he Is even
disappearing from the American bor-
der drama. Next he will not even be
mentioned In the dime novels, and
then, indeed, his glory will be gone.
Miss Jennie Calet is much more stout
than when here before, as Is evident
by her short breath after the wonder
full gymnastics of limbs and vo-
cal organs. Her singing is not
of the prima dona order,
but she pleases when she sings
and sings when she pleases,
without regard to the plot or the
"apropos.n Her whistling Is her
best bower, and she scores four points
every time she goes it alone. The
little lady has q sister in the cast,
Miss Lillian Calef who is also quite
fair little actress, successfully
assuming the role of "Juanita," a
Mexican girl. Miss Gertrude Calef,
as Bridget" the Irish nurse, and
Andrew Waldron as "Dennis," were
good character comedians, Dennis
especially being fine. II. T. Leonard,
as "Grubb," the rhyming artist. was
also the same funny man and jolly
actor as ever, and the other members
of the company acquitted themselves
very well; Of course, with some ex-
ceptions. Several members Of the
Rosedale Amateur company, which
made such failure the night previ-
GUS, were in the audience last night.
