Her woman's Will Defeated Him.

A theatrical man tells the following story,
says the New York Tribune: He did not attempt
to vOuch for its truth, the writer does not,
merely giving it here for what it is worth as an
illustration of a woman's will. The man who
| told the story also disclosed the names of those
about whom it is related. but owing to the doubt
about the absolute veracity OF the tale it would
not be fair to mention the names. Suffice it to
say that one was an actor and the other an ac-
| tress. and both very well known to the public.
So call the actor Y, because that is about
! as far as one can get from his name, and the
actress Miss A., because her name is moth
ing like that either.
Miss A., besides being, perhaps, the
most prominent character in the play, was also
the stage manager and it was she who regulated
Mr.. Y--s salary.
Now Y had long contended that his
salary was not one-half what it should be and
Miss A. declared as firmly that this was
neither here nor there, for the salary would
| remain unchanged. This condition OF affairs did
not make the two love each other as good Chris
| tians are expected to do. Such scenes as these
(behind tho flies, of course) became frequent:
when are you going to raise my salary"
"All right, then. leave you tomorrow"
"Very well, why don't you go?''
Or the war might be varied to this form:
"Are you going to raise my salary this week9''
"No."
"When?"
"Never."
That determined 'never" was disagreeable
check to argument. Finally, Y worked out
| O sub plot in the play. In one act he, the noble
| hero, carried Miss A. from top story to the
ground down a ladder. One night when this
scene came on he stepped upon the first round
1 OF the ladder as usual, holding in his arms his
| fair burden. But instead OF coming down
quickly as usual, as q vigorous, invincible hero
should, he stopped.
Now" he whispered in her ear, ssraise my
salary"
| "Never."
| Raise my salary or I drop you"
Hare WAS crisis. Two things were In dan.
8er-the success Of the scene and the actress
bones.
"Raise my salary or drop you" The sshouse'
was waiting. Miss A. closed her eyes.
Newer, she said, and he carried her sasely
| down the ladder.

The Other Side of the Question.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
read with attention your correspondent
experience in one Of our city churches, where
she was requested to wait until the ''Venite''
before the usher could give her seat. 1t is
possible that the other side of the question has
never occurred to her. happen to have a
pew in a church whose seating capacity is un-
fortunately too limited to accommodate all
who apply for pews in it, much less the many
strangers who like to attend its beautiful sery-
ices. My pew, probably from the fine view
of the church which it commands, seems to
recommend itself to strangers especially those
who donot take the trouble to apply to the usher
for seats, and the consequence is that it is
frequently quite full some time before the serv-
ice begins. am then put to the disagreeable
alternative Of going home without par
ticipating in the services, or of having
the usher make room for me in my own
pew, by turning the strangers out, a pro-
ceeding undoubtedly as disagreeable to them
as it Is to me, who also have the unpleasant
sensation Of having acted inhospitably Con-
sidering that the IL o'clock Sunday service is
the only one in the entire week at which the
seats are not free do the pew holders ask too
much in wishing their own seats at that time?

THE GOSPEL WAGON ABROAD.
How 1t Won Communications ut the Mis-
sion Convention.

How 1t Won Communications at the Mis-
sion Convention.
Recently an immense convention Of Chris
| tian workers of the United States and Canada
met in Hartford. Conn. New England pastors
were prominent element in the convention,
but the mission workers of the country consti-
! tuted the bulk of the delegates.
This convention sent for the gospel wagon Of
this city and paid all the expenses of trans
portatiOn. Rev. DIR. Kelsey, pastor Of the
Fourth Congregational Church Of Hartford,
said: cts got the CITY," The wagon was the
most striking feature Of the convention and
received the highest commentator. The
Hartford Post says that the pastors Of the most
Conservative churches addressed audiences
from the wagon. Its work was highly COM
mended, not only by the Protestant pastors but
by the Catholics. Moving through the streets
II seemed to awaken great enthusiasm, and all
misgivings Of even the least aggressive people
were removed. Already Cleveland has one
| wagon made on the pattern of the one built
| and in use by the Central Union Mission of this
city, and i've more have been ordered for use
| In that city. One is in use in Canada, and now
Hartford is organizing central union mission
| for that city and has commenced to raise the
money to build gospel wagon. The leading
pastors express confidence that a wagon viii
very soon be built. The gospel wagon returned
to this city this week, and its friends are iubi-
liant over its success.
Speaking Of missions it is worth noting that
Mrs. W. II. Vanderbilt has commenced the
| erection of a mission building in New York city
which is to cost $3.50, 600. The mission which
Is to receive this munifcent gift is run by
| former Washingtonian, Col H. H. Hadley.
In the Christian workers convention the
| Central Union Mission of this city was gener-
ally commended as the model in its organiza-
| ton, methods and success and other cities are
after In n
| ment is on foot to start q mission on the model
| of the one in this city.
The Central Union Mission is just now push
ing its efforts to secure the money for a build
ing to be located Oh Pennsylvania avenue.
Prominent business men are interested in the
movement and they expect to succeed. 1t is
expected that the site and building together
will cost not less than 100000.

How He Came to Marry.

From the Cloak. Suit and Ladies' Wear Review.
The romance Of the life Of the fur dealer, the
late John Ruszits, is interesting. Some thirty
years ago, while abroad on business trip. he
visited friend in Stockholm, Sweden. While
in conversation with his friend in the latter'f
parlor he heard music in the next room.
The pianist was young lady from
Bremen who was visiting there. DR.
Ruszits turned to his friend and said
IF / should should ever marry would like to
marry q woman like that" The gentleman
went to the door and called the young lady in
''what do you think Mr.. Ruszits just said?' be
inquired. OF course the young lady didn't
know. Mr.. Ruszits struck in and said: swell
/ am not afraid to repeat it," and he proceeded
to do SO. The lady looked at him thoughtfully
for q moment or two and then said; "Well,
viii accept" Thus the marriage came about

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
A Silver Meeting Which Did Not Come
Off-Other Matters.

A special meeting of the board of
directors of the chamber of commerce
was called to take place yesterday after
noon, at 3 80 O'Clock. The purpose was
to discuss and act upon the Jones silver
bill now pending before congress. The
impression has gone forth that the bill
is likely to be defeated, and the purpose
OF the meeting was to pass resolutions
calling upon representatives of this
coast to redouble their efforts in its be-
hall. The notice for the meeting was
given hastily, and as result there was
not quite quorum present, and after
some discussion the meeting adjourned
without action. The regular meeting of
the board will take place this afternoon,
at which time action will probably be
taken.
The furniture and carpet for the room
OF the ladies' annex arrived yesterday
and was put in place. A number of the
ladies were present assisting in the
work. They are now provided with ele-
CANT quarters.

Savings Bank, yesterday exhibited to
such of the board of directors as were
present at the meeting in the afternoon,

THE CLAYTON MURDER.
Another Witness Turns Up with I'm
pOrtant Testimony.

pOrtant Testimony.
WASHINGTON, May 21.-The sub-com-
mittee of the house committee investi-
eating the yton-Breckinridge case,
met this morning to take the testimony
OF young man named Taylor. He said
the night of the election it was reported
at Morrillton that Howard township had
gone Democratic, and the negroes were
going to raise a row. Upon in
vitation of Oliver Bentley and
Walter Wells, witness, with about
dozen other young men, started
about dark for Plummerville.
1t was their intention to stop any row
the negroes might raise. They got
within a quarter of mile of the poll
ling place, where the party rested while
Wood, Bentley and Wells rode into town
to examine the situation. 1t was found
that all was quiet, and the party turned
back to Morrilltown. Witness said o.
p. Bentley and w. P. Wells had a bal
lot box. They carried it into Wells's
store. Here George Bentley was
shot in the back by Oliver, who
asserted that it was an accident
1t had been stated that George intended
to turn states evidence. Witness said
he had lived in Oregon since leaving
Arkansas, and lately in Indian terri
tory. He was confident that Wells and
Oliver Bentley had ballot box. Wit
ness added that he had been arrested at
P me Blu for intimidating a supervisor,
but had not been near Pine Bluff on cleo
ton day. Witness said he left Arkansas
and went to Oregon to cut loose from
Wells and Bentley. 1t had got so that
whatever they said he had to do, and he
wanted to get into new country where
he would not have to steal ballot-boXes.
He would return to Morrillton were
Shelby not sheriff. The latter might
put up job on him or kill him.
Adjourned till Friday, when ex-Attor-
ney-General Garland, for Breckenridge,
will present evidence in rebuttal.

Street Railway.

Beverly street has presented lively
scene this week. The laborers engaged
in laying down the street car line began
work at the corner of New street Mon
day morning and finished the entire
square in one day-about so hands were
engaged on the work, and at the close of
the day about $50 persons were looking
on at the swiftness of the work. Tues
day the work did not progress so rapid
ly. The hands seemed tagged out by
the rapid work of Monday, and the
switch at the corner of Augusta and
Beverly was a tedious piece of work, re
curing very nice adjustment. Tonight,
as we go to press, the entire three
squares, from New to Lewis streets. have
been laid, which completes the Beverly
street line. The Augusta street differ,
ences with the Turnpike Co. have been
settled, and that line will be laid a. once.
We shall shortly hear the jingle of the
street car bells

Working to Defeat Langston.

Two years ago, says the Washington
correspondent of the York Herald, in
the elections of 1888 General Malone
advanced the proposition that the time
had not come when a negro should repre-
sent the commonwealth Of Virginia in
the congress of the United States. The
general then carried his ideas to a log
ical conclusion by so arranging matters
in the Petersburg district as to insure the
defeat of Professor Langston, the colored
candidate by his white democratic oppo-
nent, Mr.. Venable
When the fifty first congress assembled
Prof. Langston came forward as a con
testant for Mr.. Venable's seat and the
election committee promptly reported
in the contestants favor. Gen. Malone
is now in Washington trying, it is under
stood, to secure republican votes to in
sure Professor +angstan's rejection
when the matter comes before the house.
as it may in the next fortnight. 1t is
said that these votes will be forthcoma
ing and that they will be sufficiently
numerous to enable Mr.. Venable to
retain his seat.

Fox Chase.

A novel entertainment was given Tues
day evening by Mr.. Hampton Wayt.-
About rs ladies and gentlemen went out
to Betsy Bell to witness a fox chase
There were two packs of dogs belonging
to Mr.. H. Wayt and - Argenbright.
The fox was turned loose about $50 and
caught at 715. His course was around
and between the two hills-Betsy Bell
and Mary Grey-and could be seen by
all present. The race furnished fun for
the boys, but resulted in death to the
fox. Provisions were taken out by Mr.
Wayt, and the tables spread on the green
sod. After the supper the 'brush" of
the fox was presented to Miss Laura
Taylor, the LADY on horse in a neat
and appropriate speech by Mr.. Lewis
Bumgardner. The occasion was greatly
enjoyed by all present.

General John G. Fremont died in New
York ON the 18th of peritonitis. His
death was sudden and unexpected. He
was borii in Savannah, Ga, January
18th, 1918, and was II years of age A
few months ago he was placed on the
retired list of the army with the rank of
Gencral--the pay OF which gave him a
satisfactory support. About the same
time it was discovered, i'll reviewing his
accounts while military Governor of
California, that instead of being in
debted to the Government $4,000, as
was claimed, the Government owed him
SCI 900. He was known as the great
explorer, although much of the work of
his discoveries on the plains and in the
Rocky Mountains are due to Kit Carson,
who was too modest to claim anything
