an application for q divorce from his
wife, Amanda. resident Of Tacoma,

LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. 2l.-Martin
Rupp, the Bareville faster, has brought
hls nineteen days fast to a close, on par
taking, as he expressed H., OF such food
as the spirits prompted him to take. He
appears none the worse for his long alb
stainanco from food, and is I'm quite
cheerful frame Of mind. There Is no
doubt about the fast being genuine
one, and that nothing but water passed
his lips during the time. Many visitors
called upon him during the fast, and he
conyersed intellIgcntly with all. Among
these were many members OF the Cor

been trouble recently, this being thC
cause OF Mr.. Rupp's fast At the com

the determination OF remaining In bed
without food until he had received such
divine inspiration as would enable him to
