Jack wilkins was tho most enthusi-
astic cricketer in Halifax. He belonged
to the "Paladins," the best civilian club
in the town, the one that was always
pitted against the military. But unfor-
tunately Jack was the worst player in
the club. As fielder he would pass
muster. but somehow he couldn't bat.
He read Lilywhite and all the other au-
thorities on the game, but still he
failed. lie practiced a good deal, but
couldn't get the hang OF it.
Jack was intending to study dentistry
and he was in love. The name of his
sweetheart was Letitia Burns, a girl as
pretty as picture and considerable of
a tease. Letitia laughed at Jack when
he grew sentimental, but didn't refuse
to go about with him. Jack was to 20
to PhiladelphiH to the dental college,
and the only regret he felt at going was
that he was leaving Letitia to be
,beaued- around by a possible rival. He
couldn't get her to make him any prom
ise until the night before his leaving
Halifax for Philadelphia, when Letitia,
laughing, said to Jacks oft repeated
importantly: "1'll tell you what, Jack,
I'll give you an answer when you be-
come the best batsman in the Paladins." :"
Jack looked rueful and rubbed his head.
He was going away from Halifax for
two years, and how could he, become
the beso cricketer in the Paladins?
Letitia's condition was impossible of
fulfllment The best batsman in the
Paladins! Why there was now not one
poorer than he.
But Letitia shook her short black
curls and was inexorable. Jack had to
go away in disgust without his promise.
But when he got to Philadelphia he
found out that they knew there quite
as much about cricket as the Haligoni-
ans He resolved that he would de-
vote all his spare time to mastering the
game. He was going bacl- in two years,
and perhaps in the meal imc he could
learn some cricket Their was a pro-
fessional cricketer there named Tyner,
an EDglishman, who had coached some
of the best cricketers in England and
America Jack went to Tyner and got
him for consideration to take him
into his club Tyner put Jack at the
bat, who, as usual, made a miserable
failure. Jack went to the professional

DIOCESAN MISSIONS.
Topic Discussed at the Church Con-
gress This Morning.
FINISHING UP ITS WORK.
1t VIII Be Completed This Afternoon and the
Congress Will Adjourn-Many Interesting
and Eloquent Delegates Speak Today Upon
the Value of Mission Worn

The last day of the great Episcopal church
congress began this morning in the hall of
National Rifles Armory. There were two ses-
sions today, ore at 1890 a. m. and one at 2:3O
pm. The afternoon session was the final one
of the convention. as there will be no meeting
this evening.
The topic Of the discussion for the morning
was 1.-The True Policy of Diocesan Missions"
The first invited writer on the program was the
Rt. Rev. Bishop E. r. Atwill, d. D., of st.
Louis, Mo-, but he was unable to be present at
the congress. and his place was filled at the last
moment by Rev. DR.. John S. Lindsay, the rector
Of st. Paurs Church. Boston, and one of the
leading ministers Of that city. Compared with
last evening the attendance at the opening of
the session was not very large. but the hall
continued to fill rapidly. Bishop Dudley. who
for couple of days past has taken the place of
the congress, opened the session with prayer,
and the hymn Sing, My Soul, His Wondrous
Love" was sung by the audience, with Mr.. ID. b.
Macleod at the organ.
REV. @. A. CHRISTENSEN.
The first writer Of the morning was Rev.
Gustave A. Christensen of New York city. In
beginning his paper the writer said that from
the popular standpoint the subject for discus
sion was not one of burning interest. The fact
tnat upward OF hundred SUBJECTS have
been considered by these congresses before
reaching this one offers abundant proof Of this
fact The appeals for foreign missions are
rarely received with purse strings tightly
drawn. This was as it should be, but the
writer stated that the purpose of his paper was
to show that there was a large field for work
among the unchurched and unevangelized
masses of our own country.
After speaking earnestly Of the tendency Of
our population toward the city the writer
argued that inasmuch as the cities are recruited
from the rural sections il would be well to at

AUGUSTUS THIELkUHL'S CASE

AUGUSTUS TIlELkUHL'S CASE.
Committed to Jail to Await the Action of the
Grand Jury.
This morning Augustus Thielkuhl the man
who attempted suicide at his chld's grave in
Prospect Hill cemetery, as published in The STAR
at the time, was brought up from Jail and taken
before Judge Miller on a charge OF false pre-
lenses.
He was represented by Lawyer Jno A. Clarke,
who set up insanity as the prisoners defense.
DR.. Frederick of Capitol Hill was present as
witness to tell Of the prisoners alleged in
sanity. Counsel wanted to make an arrange
ment whereby the prisoner could be sent to
the asylum instead of Jail, but Judge Miller did
not see his way clear to send him to the asylum.
He thought the best way under the law was to
let the case go before the grand jury and let
the upper court dispose of the matter.
DR.. Lee, the Capitol Hill dentist testified to
Thielkuhls claim that he was photographer in
chief to the worlds fair and to how he sold
him about S243 worth of photographers sup
plies, expecting to receive his money from the
government.
When questioned by counsel witness said he
thought that the prisoner perfectly sane
except when he is crazy drunk.
Judge Miller held the prisoner for the grand
jury and he was committed to jail

tempt the publication of the stream from the
fountain head. An ounce of prevention here
would certainly save q pound expended in
cure. The suggestion has been made that
a country church should be along much
the same lines as the country store, where
a little of everything can be had.
Country towns will not have it this way for they
want everything that the big cities can afford
The result is that half dozen churches strug-
gle along where there is room for only one
The Episcopal church is much to blame as
any Of the other denominations in this. She
is willing to have only one church in the vii
lage, but she wants that one to be her own
Christianity never did better work than when
the early church went into the country and
laid hold upon the Germanic tribes.
CITY AND COUNTRY CHURCHES.
In conclusion the writer said that whatever
the church may do in the cities, and however
clearly it may define its lines of separation
when it can cast the net, it must find some way
Of cooperation when the work of planting the
seed comes Let it suffice to say that it will not
be surprising if we shall find that the Erenicon,
whose sound went out from Chicago
five years ago and two years later
was echoed at Lambeth, must yet be
set to another key and become more inviting
overture. The Christian League of Connecti-

names working together in rural neighbor-
hoods. We cannot proceed very far along these
lines before we learn that the intellectual con-
ceptions which support our spiritual life
must always be inadequate and therefore varia-
BILE. We cannot remodel them hastily. for they
are the issue Of a very ancient intellectual his
tory; but the growth Of civilization and the in
crease of knowledge must modify in the future
as in the past some traditions which we regard
as settled questions and for which some would
even dare to die.
In mountainous districts one has sometimes
the sound of a mighty torrent, but sees no cata-
ract. The sound is the resultant of countless
streams which flow through assures hidden to
the eye. but which unite and form this exquis-
lite harmony. So the church of the future will
give forth its sweetest music when the varying
notes are gathered into one grand diapason
whose sound shall 60 forth into all the world
and the cOnverging streams of her life will
empty at last into the river which makes glad

Fires This Morning,

A fire in one of the handsome houses on K
street near the Arlington Hotel created con-
siderable excitement and drew a large crowd
to the spot this morning shortly before II
o'clock. The fire was In No. 1889 X street, a
corner house and occupied by Miss A. W. Davis.
The flames broke out in a basement room on
the west side of the house used as q bath room
and burned up into the parlor directly above
The wood work at one time was in an active
blaze. The fire department, however, re-
sponded promptly to the call and the flames
were speedily subdued. Considerable damage
was done to the furniture and wood work Of
the parlor by the flames and to the rest of the
house by the smoke.
Another alarm was sounded about the same
time from box PAT, which was for fire in the
house of Jeremiah Smith, No. 1880 Madison
street The fire was caused by defective fue
and did damage to the extent of $500.

Children's Aid Society Entertainment.

Yesterday afternoon and evening added still
further lau rels to the ladies of the Children 8
Aid Society, by reason of the success of the
second day of the donation fair and house
warming which they are conducting at the
home. Both afternoon and evening saw many
visitors at the prettily decorated rooms and the
trade In fancy articles brisk. The money
realized by the society from the fair is to be
used in establishing classes in manual labor
among the boys. A pleasant feature of the
entertainment last night was the playing Of
Prof. Russell and Miss Gorham on the guitar
and mandolin. The fair will be continued this
afternoon and evening
