Two Reasons why II Was a Rarity.

"What sort of watch is this?" asked
Duzenbury, picking up curious old time
piece from an Austin watch-maker's SHOW
case.
That" replied the matchmaker, sis a
real curiosity. 1t is a watch that belonged
to Alexander the Great when he died on the
barren island of st. Helena"
"Why, man alive, in the DAYS of Alex
ander the Great they didn't have any
watches"
That's just what makes it such a rarity"
"And Alexander the Great didn't die at
St. Helena"
"He didn't ELI? Well. that makes it a
still greater curiosity" and taking the rare
relic from the hands of Duzenbury he locked
1t in his burg lar proof safe.-Texas Siftings.

MUSCULAR MINISTER
Rev. j. H. Boyce is Suspended
from His Charge,
Returns, and Eluding the Yigilence Of the
Trustees, Climbs into the Pulpit and
Announces the Hymn-A Scene
Especial to The HERALD-Examiner Dispatch

Especial TO The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch ]
PoUGHKEEPsIE, June 1.-The Baptist
chgrch at Madalin was opened Sunday for
the first time in four or five weeks. Rev.
H. Boyce had been dismissed by the
trustees but he declared his dismissal was H.
legal and insisted on holding services. Upon
attempting to conduct religious exercises on
Sunday about month ago, the Bible was
knocked from his hand, he was dragged
from the pulpit amid the greatest excite
ment and the house was locked against
him. Sunday morning the new minister,
Rev. Mr.. Wood, preached. The evicted
pastor occupied seat in the body of the
house. 1t became noised about during the
afternoon that the Rev. Mr.. Boyce would
undertake to assert in the evening what he
considered his rights. The congregation
at night was very large. The Rev. Mr.
Wood occupied the pulpit and some
determined trustees stood in the main
aisle to obstruct DR.. Boyce's passage to it.
Mr.. Boyce appeared and the trustees sent
for officers. Seeing the aisle was blocked.
Mr.. Boyce entered the fourth or fifth pew
from the pulpit. That movement threw
the trustees off their guard. Waiting until
the trustees had their heads turned, Rev.
Mr.. Royce made rush for the pulpit He
is athletic and leaped over the pews in
front of him. Reaching the desk he stood
by the side OF Rev. Mr.. Wood, gave out the
hymn and started it himself The trustees
were dumbfounded and before they could
recover from their establishment Mr. Wood
interrupted Mr.. Boyce with q prayer.
That ended the trouble at the church that
evening. Yesterday morning Rev. Mr..
Boyce was arrested on complaint of two of
the trustees charged with disturbing a re-
ligious meeting. The hearing is set for
this evening.

A BOND CIRCULAR.
Foster Issues Notice to Holders
of Four and a Half Per Cents.
That the Principal aud Interest Will be Paid
in September-A Suggestion as to
Their Extension.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-Notice was given
by Secretary Foster that the principal and
accrued interest on such of the AZ per cent.
bonds issued under the acts of July, 1870,
and January 20, 1871, as may be outstanding
on the second day of September, 1891, will
be paid on that day and interest on said
bonds will then cease.
The suggestion has been made on the
part of the holders of some Of those bonds
of desire to extend the payment thereof
at the option of the United States. at the
rate of or = per cent. per .annum, and
the secretary of the treasury Will hereafter
offers or any of them will be profitable to
the government, and in that event reserves
the right tu except such bonds from his call.
1t is officially stated that the suggestion
of the extension of the AZ per cents added
to the call made to- day, is made more as a
matter of precedence than necessity. The
treasury department, it is said, is abund-
antly able to pay ali of the ffty-one million
AZ per cents outstanding, but in view of
the uncertainty of future receipts and ex-
pendi.ures, it is deemed better to take the
side of safety. The secretary not only be-
lieves he has ample means TO defray all ex-
penses of the government but is confident
he will be able o retire a considerable
amount of the public debt in addition to the
S236, 900 900 already paid during the present
administration. One Of the purposes in
suggesting an opportunity to extend the
maturing loan at a national rate of interest,
is desire to avoid the enforced retire
ment of part of the total SD, DOC, 900 of
national bank circulation not secured by
AZ per cent bonds.

A Hurricane Near WATERFOWL, S. d.

ST.. PAUL, June "A Pioneer Press spe-
cial from Watertown, S. D., says: This
afternoon about 3 80, hurricane appeared
in that vicinity and passed just by the edge
of the city, demolishing some outbuildings
and destroying everything movable. The
path of the storm was about one hundred
feet wide. Five miles northeast several
houses were wrecked, and at Waverly,
twelve miles away, much damage was done.
o. p. Chamberlain and son were in a barn
when 1t was blown down and were pain
fully injured. Three people were killed at
Hazel. The storm is said to have been very
severe in that vicinity. No other fatalities
are vet heard of. Heavy rain and hail fol-
lowed the storm and the damage in this
county altogether is probably heavy.

THE FATAL PATIENT
A Peculiar Case i'm a New York
Hospital.
Woman Suffering from Catarrh Is Treated
by Various Physicians, and a Number
Of Them Have Died Soon After.

| Especial 10 THE HERALD-EIaminer Dispatch
New YORK, June 2.-RemarkabIe case:
of fatalities have followed the treatment Of
woman suffering from catarrh by tine
physicians of the Manhattan Eye and Ea,
hospital, Nc. 102 Park avenue. Upcr
three different occasions this woman haG
placed herself under the care Of the physi.
clans of the hospital. If she should ev Ell
present herself again she will be referred
TO some other institution, as not one of the
hospital physicians would be willing 70 dc
anything for her. Opposite her name in
the hospital register have been written
these words in q bold hand: 1.-The fatal
patient" II was o couple of years ago
when she first called at hospital Cabinet,
where nose and throat diseases are treated,
and was at that time under the charge OF
DR.. Johnson, who died almost Immediately
afterward. The next occupant of the cab
net was DR.. Pond. The fatal patient" did
not call for some months after the death OF
the physician who had originally treated
her She finally did call, and DIR. Ponds
death quickly ensued. For a year and a
half she kept away from the eye and ear
hospital, but at length, as her complaint
was beginning to bother her again she
called last Wednesday. To a gentleman she
had seen in the building she remarked
she thought probably the doctors might
hesitate on treating her, in view of the
fate of the two who had undertaken to
alleviate her troubles. She was again re-
ferred to Cabinet ID, where DR.. David Phil
lips had succeeded DR.. Pond. DIR. Phillips
was about thirty eight years of age His
ability in diagnosis was marked, and when
ever a complicated case came up in the
hospital he was iuvariably consulted. After
seeing the fatal patient" for the first time
Wednesday, DIR. Phillips went to his home,
No. 13l East Eighty sixth street. in the
evening he dined out aud then made some
professional visits. Upon his return home
he complained he was feeling i'll. He did
not get up next morning and his mother,
who saw him lying on the bed, thought
that long sleep would do him gosd. About
noon an effor: was made to rouse him, but
he was then cold in death. A physician
was summoned and declared DIR. Phillips
had died some hours before of heart fail
ure DR.. NJ. ID. Lederman, of l ,029 Park
avenue, empbatically declares he will never
attempt to treaL the fatal patient" Have
believers in fatalism ever heard OF a more
curious case than this that bears out their
theories
