Gu .sBilIn'' Drunk.

BUFFALO, n. Y, May Those who
passed in or out of the barroom at the
Tiff house tins afternoon could not have
helped noticing a little party of four men.
They would have attracted attention il
any place in the city, for they were typi.
cal farmers and of the most pronouced
"hoosier' stamp. There were four il
the party aud they were all happy drunk,
yelling and shaking dice for drinks. They
were having a big time. but their mission
here is one calculated to make any one
jubllant. 1t was a SOFT OF family reunion
of heirs of President Fillmore, but this
meeting means more than family reunions
usually do, as it will be the means OF
bringing to each of the heirs a nice lit
tie fortune. The Fillmore estate is worth
about $500, 600, and u is to be divided
among eleven persons. five OF whom live
in Michigan, three in Indiana, two in
Washington, ID. C., and one in California.
Those who are here are George NJ, Ben
iamin F., Almon l. and Willard c.. all
ncphews of the dead president. The
other heirs, with the exception OF one,
are expected here before tomorrow. for at
that time the final settlement of the es.
tate will take place in the surrogate

which they had borrowed on the strength

Billy Barber, sole owner of BARRIERS Raft,
on VOLTS pond, Sullivan county, \. Y,
has a peculiar habit OF going barefooted
the year around, and il IS said that he has
never had on Il pair OF boots, shoes or
socks.
1t is claimed that Barber was found on a
raft up in Old Sullivan" on a cold Novem.
Der day thirty-eight years ago, when he
was about ten days old. Billy had not a
particle Of clothing on at that time, and
how he came to be on the raft no one could
ever find out. II has been suggested that
Jonah like, he was cast out on the raft by
"A big pickerel. This looks almost pIausi-
BILE, for exposure has caused fin ike ap.
pendages to grow out Of the sides Of his
pedal extremities just like the fins on a
pickerel, and between the toes he is webbed
somewhat like a duck.
When he was found young Barber was
taken in. cared for and reared to manhood
by a poor but kline hearted Sullivan county
fisherman. He has never been away from
home in his life, and has never seen a
locomotive or steamboat or heard the
tinkle of IA telephone bell. He cares for
nothing but fishing, and summer and
winter you can find him on the pond
either on his raft or the ice.
During the winter this peculiar character
can be seen daily standing on the ice bare
footed watching lis tip ups.-New York

WAsHINGToa, May 2.-The weather
and crop bulletin says that the weather
during the past week was specially favor
able for all growing crops throughout the
grain regions Of the Northwest and Cen
trail valleys. The excessive sunshine and
warm weather favored farm work and the

kota is in excellent condition. The light
fTosts which occurred during the week in
the Central valleys did not prove in
furious. In the winter wheat region all
crops are reported in excellent condition.
Wheat and grass are growing nicely and
much corn has been planted. Oregon
reports normal weather conditions and
wheat prospects most excellent; no dam
gin frosts and all the fruit trees heavily
laden. Colorado reports rain needed;
corn and potato planting is well advanced
and fruit is in splendid condition. Cali
fornia reports that high winds and hot
weather damaged the grain crops materi-
ally in the latter part of the week; frost
in the coast counties slightly damaged
fruit prospects. Haying Is in progress in

That deliberate, almost phlegmatic tenn
permanent which once characterized the
New England Yankee in Vermont is fast
being supplanted by a nervous, jerky, dys-
peptic nature, which is irritable to see or
hear. 1t is with relief that one finds now
and then a relic of the old time deliberate
ness.
Old Uncle Maynard, of Royalton, sat on
the sill Of his barn foor one Sunday after
noon and looked quietly out over his barn
yard. At that moment a wild goose, a
stray bird from a flock, and evidently very
tired with a long flight. Topped slowly and
heavily down among the tame fowl in the
yard.
Uncle Maynard did not even shift his po-
sition at this novel sight. He looked at
the newcomer for at least a minute, and
then said slowly and solemnly:
"If-l-had-a-gun, and-if-it-was loaded, and
If -I-wasn't-afraid-of hitting-a-tame-goose
and-if-it-wasn't-Sunday, and-if-that-goose
would -stay-as-near-as-that, I-would-shoot

By the time he had finished the wild
goose had gone, and Uncle Maynard's ex-
citable nature was subjected to no further
temptation.-Youth's Companion.

New YORK. May > "A pretty, dark
eyed Girl of % died of poisoning in the
Presbyterian hospital at > O'Clock this
morning, a suicide. Her name was Mary
Harbourchy, and she came to this country
four years ago from Munkaes, Hungary.
She was an orphan. Seven months ago
she hired a little fiat at 427 East Eighty
third street aud moved her furniture into
it. She told Mrs. Coffman. the ianitress,
that she was about to be married, aud
that she and her husband would continue
to live there. She was Industrious. con-
t~inually working IN her rooms at making
mems scarfs. Alter a time Mrs. Cecilia
Lawrence, who she called her cousin,
came to the same house to live. aud Miss
Harbourchy and Mrs. Lawrence took a
fiat together on the second floor. Mrs.
Lawrence husband works on one of the
elevated railroads. Mrs. Lawrence is a
scarf maker, and the VI women worked
together. Meantime the marriage-Tost
pOued from time to time-became a topic
of conversation among people in the
house. oh, he will marry nc, Miss
HarbOurchy said, in answer to their
chatting. She had a number of ad-
mlrers, and several Young men called on
her pretty regularly, but the favored one,
who she said was going to marry her, was
Martin May. He is said to be a ieweler.
working somewhere in Maiden Lane. and
living with his mother on Seventeen
street, between First and Second ave-

Recently Mary became i'll and lost her
spirits. On Monday she consulted DR..

day she was still i'll aud sent Mrs.
Lawrence to w. q. Kohlcr's drug store,
at 1892 First avenue, for some oxalic
acid Mrs. Lawrence did not know that
oxalic acid was a poison. She was told to
say that it was wanted to take spots out
OF her dress. Miss Habourchv put the
package away in her room. On Wednes.
day she wrote a note TO her lover and got
a hoy to deliver it. 1t was a request to
hun to meet her on the corner He was
not at home, but his mother read it. and,
in company with a younger son, she
answered it in person, and walked home
with the gIrl.
She wants to know when my son is

Lawrence. While Mrs. May was there
Miss Habourchv left the room and went
into her bed room. She returned in a
minute and was taken deathly i'll almost
at once, oh | am SO sick, she said;

New York, May 1.-The members Of
the Madison Avenue Baptist church were
greatly surprised aud disappointed last
evening at the announcement of the res,
i%Enation OF their pastor, tie Rev. DR.. c.
d. ". Bridgman. At the close of his
Wednesday evening %lesture, which was
delivered with his wonted elcqueuce and
earuestness, DR.. Bridgman left the church
for his home in East SIxty-third street.
Before the congregation was dismissed,
however, Edward Elliott, clerk of the
church. read a convincing and touching
letter from the pastor, in which are the
following passages
Your unity is more to me than any
personal interest; and since | rave found
that a sermon | recently preached has
disturbed a few mIpds, and has led them
to question the sOuudness of my doctrine,
| feel that my pastoral relation to you
must come to an end. | do not forget
that since the seTmOn was preached you
have assured me, by a unanimous vete,
of your cordial affection, of your graft
tude for the spiritual help received from
my minlstratiOD. and of loving and hearty
cooperation whilst | remain as your pas
tor. | am grateful for all you have said
as TO Your hone that our fellowship will
not be- broken. Still, | am forced to
believe that a few were not in accord with
that vote; and as | am so constituted
that any Withholding of confidence must
impair the h%eartiness of my ministry |
herewith tender my resignation of the
office | bold as your pastor, to take effect
with the close of next Sunday.
The sermon to which DR.. Bridgnan
refers as causing the disturbance in his
church was preaching on the morning of
Feb. Is. The text was taken from
Marx TX: IF thy hand offend thee cut
1t off, 1t is better for thee To enter into
life manned than having two hands to 20
into hell, into the fire hat never shall be
quenched."
Now we know" said the doctor in the
course OF his sermon, without my stay
ing to describe it, what the popular opin-
ion is or has been, concerning the hell
of which it speaks in the text and |
must need begin by rejecting 1t, from the
constralnt, the irresistible constraint. OF
the conviction that it is directly opposite
to all that Christ has shown and told us
of God; that it il contrary to the revela-
ton he has made to us OF the Father.
ITO my mind the ungodlike and terrible
hell which casts its lurid glare upon our
books OF theology would scarcely have
been found here at all hut that the search
ers in their approach brought it within
them, and, having unwittingly inserted
what they brought, it soon appeared to
belong there. The difficulty is to dislodge
and cast out and descry the reality. 1t is
obvious that the Lord had no reference
TO a state OF eternal torment by the use of
that word. The hell against which the
Lord warned the people is Just the inward
depravity which selishness and unbelief
and un~faithtulness are certain to breed. +"
In speaking of his resignation this
evening DR.. Bridgman said:
For many years | have felt that the
doctrine OF endless torment was in
consistent with the spirit, and even the
letter, of the New Testament and a
