Religion by Telephone.

The New York Herald's European
edition publishes the following: Going
to church by telephone was tried yester-
day at Christ church, Birmingham. A
correspondent in that city describes the
experiment thus; "When the morning
service began, there was what appeared
to be an unseemly clamor to hear the
service, and the opening prayer was in
terrupted by cries of s'Hello, there! Are
you theres Put me on to Christ church =
No, don't want the church. etc. But
presently quiet was obtained, and by the
time the psalms were reached we got
almost unbroken connection and could
follow the course of the service. We
could hear very little of the prayers,
probably from the fault that the official
ting minister was not within voice-reach
of the transmitter. The organ had a
faint, far-away sound, but the singin z
and sermon were distinct success.
Different parts of the evening service
We're put through successfully to Lon
don, Manchester, Derby, Coventry, Kid
derminster and Hanley. In every place
the greatest satisfaction was expressed.
"The electrical appliances in the
church were scarcely visible, nor in any
way calculated to disturb the worshipers.
Attached to the lectern was an arrange.
ment like small American circular clock.
A similar disc was suspended by cord
to gas bracket behind the communion
rails, and on the edge of the pulpit there
was a small brass frame with two more
discs
'ln the choir stalls there were alto
gether four transmitters affixed, two on
each side, to the woodwork. In every
case the transmitter was of nickel and
ebonite, three inches in diameter. Switch
es were provided, by which the choir
leaders could, unseen, turn the choir off
or on, as one would do the gas; and the

A Canine Bank.

The grandfather of Mr.. Owen, of the
Chicago bar, who resided in the Old
Dominion, was the owner of dog whose
sagacity would seem to entitle him to
place in canine history. Bruno had been
trained to do the family marketing.
Each day he carried to the village
butchers basket containing his masters
order and penny with which to pur-
chase meat for himself. To show off
Brunos talent his kind master often gave
him pennies at other times than the mar
keting hour, which the dog made haste
to deposit upon the block of his friend,
the butcher. Owing to the frequency of
these gifts and the liberal serving of the
knight Of the cleaver Bruno often had d
surplus of provisions, which, like all
provident dogs, he buried in the gar
den. There were many ours in the
neighborhood which, though lacking our
heros sagacty. were possessed of equally
sharp noses and good stomachs. These
were not long in locating Bruno's cache
and appropriating its contents, in con-
sequence of which he often went supper
less to his kennel.
One day the old gentleman had been
Boosting to friend of the rare gifts
possessed by his dog, and gave him
penny to furnish occular proof of the
same. AT the door Of the meat mar
ket the animal paused bent his head as il
engaged in veritable brown study and
then, to the utter discontinue Of his
watching master and the secret delight
OF his doubling friend, trotted home with
the penny in his mouth The two spies
fastened after the dog, and entering the
garden, discovered him in the act of
burying the coin in the ground. All
that afternoon the old gentleman and
his friend watched with the eagerness Of
children the canine bank Of deposit. To-
ward evening their patience was reward
ed by the appearance Of the animal; who
dug up the penny and fastened to ex-
change it for meat wherein to make his
supper.
Mind had triumphed, and ever after
ward Bruno banked his surplus coin and
bought meat as his appetite demanded.

LARGEST MARKET GARDEN.
The Big Crops Raised by a Rhode
Island Farmer.

In Rhode Island there is farm of six
hundred acres run as market garden
by Mr.. Budlong, an account Of whose
crops and methods may not be uninter-
esting. Mr.. Budlong employs regularly
ITO men all the time. During certain
seasons Of the year he has two hundred
and over extra hands employed as pick
ers. gathering green corn, cucumber,
peas. tomatoes and other products. He
has seventy-two horses and six yoke Of
oxen. He has his own carpenter, car
rage builder, painter and blacksmith,
and all his wagons are built by him on
the premises. Lost winter he sold $780,
600 worth of lettuce to one New York
dealer, in addition to all his sales to other
New Workers and to the Boston and
Providence markets. He has now $50
acres in cucumbers in different lots, and
it was a very picturesque scene to notice
three gangs of pickers, from forty to fifty
men, women and children in a gang,
gathering the crop. The white shirts
and blue overalls of the men, and the
gayer colors of the women's attire, dot.
ted among the cucumber vines, presented
picture rarely witnessed in New Eng.
land. The pickers are paid five and six
cents half bushel basket, and some
pick as many as twenty eight baskets
in day. Although Mr.. Budlong raises
many white spine cucumbers for mar.
ket, the bulk Of his business is in
smaller ones for picking, which is
done on his own premises. The
cucumbers when picked are placed in
large tanks, holding 1000 bushels. In
one room alone we saw twenty-five Of
these tanks. He has other tanks in other
rooms, and is building new house which
will contain twelve more. The cucum-
bers are carried from the field to the fac.
tory by large four horse teams, wagon
load driving up every few minutes. In
addition to this crop, Mr.. Budlong has
this season forty-tive acres in green peas,
all of which has been gathered and the
land is now seeded to turnips. Sixteen
acres are in tomatoes. He has fifty acres
in green corn; one day this season he
shipped to market 800 barrels, containing
eighteen to twenty dozen ears in bar
rel, at twenty-five cents per dozen. It
was noticeable thing the green corn
season is about over with him Just as the
average run of farmers are beginning to
get theirs into the market We drove
through large fields of many acres in ex-
tent of onions, peppers and other crops,
to say nothing of the extensive green
houses and hotbeds. One noticeable
thing about the place was a stack of pea
vines which had been, saved for fodder,
much of the coarse stuff about the place
being saved for feeding.
To raise such immense crops requiresa
fabulous amount of manure, which is
brought from Boston and Providence by
train, Mr.. Budlong having special side
tracks to his grounds from the railroads.
He brings manure as far as from Boston,
contracting there for the supply from
2, 200 horses.
This business has developed from a
small beginning, the profits as fast as
made having been put into he business
instead of invested elsewhere. Mr.. Bud
long is buying land all the time.--[N New
England Farmer.

ford company is now entertaining and
they include not only donation of land,
but other inducements; but the Rock.
ford company is not looking for bait such
as has been put out in Moline. Its
representatives stated emphstically be,
fore getting the contract that they were
not looking for inducements. asked no
donations of land and had no stock to
place at the disposal of local capital. Iu
view OF these facts the Moline bid ought
not to receive consideration at the hands
of the Rockford people If they propose
to act in good faith. They have an OPP
ton on the land which they are exploring
at Sears, which expires on the 18th, and
their action after that will be watched

TOUGH LEGAL NUT
That a Chicago Judge Is Asked
to Crack.
PROPERTY WORTH $4,000 INVOLVED

In the Question; which of Two Persons
Died First-No witnesses to the Deaths,
which Occurred Some Time Before Dis
covery-Did Heesh Commit Murder or
Suicide His Relatives VIII Insist on
Murd Or.
CHICAGO, April 9.-For the second time
lately in the probate court a question as to
survivorship has arisen on which depends
decision as to whether a wife's heirs or
husbands heirs are entitled TO an estate.
The Gaze is that of Henry Heesh and his
wife. Margaretha Hee,h, who We're found
dead in their house at $50 Sangamon street
In July, 1885 Heesh was a saloonkeeper at
that number, and he and his wife had saved
by their joint labor and economy the small
fortune of $4,000. When the police broke
into the dwelling the husband was found
hanging from a transom, while Mrs Heesh
was lying under bed
A Verdict of Murder Rendered.
The discovery was not made until several
days after the deaths occurred, and from the
condition of Mrs Heesh it could not be defi-
nitely determined whether she died from
natural causes or was killed by Heesh. There
were marks on her throat which might have
been made by a fall, but from the testimony
of neighbors that they heard the woman's
screams, and that the couple lived a cat and
dog hfe the coroner's jury, taking all the
facts into consideration, decided that Heesh
killed his wife and then hanged himself.
BIeans $4,000 to the Heirs.
There were no children, and although the
couple died two years ago, the estate has just
aH ind lea ht-in n
nut for the judicial mind to crack in the
shape of a determination as to who died
first II Mrs. Heesh was killed by her hus-
band he survived her , and his heirs take the
estate But if Heesh committed suicide, and
the shock to his wife eau ed her to die of
heart disease she survived him and her heirs
take the estate Which died first, therefore,
is a question which means a good deal TO the
heirs, as neither Heesh nor his wife left
will.
VIII Take Murder and the Cash.
Judge kohlsaat concluded that both sides
would want to put in a good deal of specu-
lative well as positive evidence and medi
cal testimony, and he set the case for April
IS, when he will have full hearing. Mrs.
Heesh's relatives will try to prove that Mrs.
Heesh Gied of shock or heart disease, alb
solving Heesh from the crime of murder.
Singular as it may appear, Heesh's heirs
will seek to fix crime upon him, as it is to
their interest to show that he die last, I'M
less they can prove that Mrs. Heesh died
suddenly and Hee b committed suicide from
grief.
A Similar Dispute Compromised.
But the coroner's finding is against this
and so is the position of Mrs. Heesh's body
1t is argued that she could scarcely have
crawled partly under bed and died; so
Heesh's heirs accept the theory of murder.
A similar question arose in the case of the
Wilson's, who were murdered in Winnetka
some years ago. Judge Knickerbocker was
una ble to decide who died first, and the
heirs had TO COMPROMISE

THE Chicago Tribune. in an endeavor
10 distract the attention of the voters of
Illinois from the tariff and extrsvagsnt
regimes of succeeding republican adj
ministrations, is bringing the COM
pulsory education law forward. In
its last Saturdays issue 1t prints
three columns of specials. contain
ing the views of leading democrats
throughout the state upon the subject.
The unaminity of feeling against maxi
ing compulsory education politics al is
sue is likely to knock the scheme in the
head. With few exceptions the present
law was commended as sslutary meas
ure. IL is admitted that there may be
incongruities in its composition which
should be eliminated, but that the law on
the whole should stand. The following
expression appears in the Tribune from
Rock Island county, and is in harmony
with the views elsewhere:
The democrats of Rock Island county
see no reason for making political is
sue of compulsory education in the state
campaign this year. They say that the
law now on the statute books is almost
identical with the Bennett law in Wis
Cousin. When passed two years ago
party lines were not drawn, and the DEM
ocratic members were among its strongest
supporters. The law has worked well so
far as reports have come to hand. An
other reason for not taking up the edu.
cational issue is that to do so would
draw attention from the su ject of tariff
reform. which the democrats insist must
be kept at the front. The democratic
member from this district, Hon. E. w.
Hurst, voted for the present law. and he
expresses satisfaction with its workings.
