CHURCH DEBTS.
A st. Louis Minister Condemns Giving

A st. Louis Minister Condemns Giving
Lectures to Pay Them.
A fiutter of excitement was caused at the
morning service of Centenary NJ. E. Church
yesterday by singular request made by the
pastor, Rev. B. Carradine, says the ST. Louis
Star Sayings.
While reading the announcements he held
up a slip of paper with the remark:
"Here is something that | ought to sup
press. 1t is an invitation from the Ladies'
Aid ociety for this congregation to attend
a lecture to be delivered by DR.. Talmage for
the purpose of raising money to pay off the
debt of Conk-avenue M. E. Church. read
this much to ask YOU not 10 60"
In explaining this request DIR. Carradine
said he did not believe In church entertain
ments for the purpose of raising money.
He said any time anything Of this kind
came up he intended to oppose it. 1t was
not his intention to fight anybody. He
meant simply to preach Gods truth
On the second Sunday in April he will
preach on the subject of church entertain
ments, and said he hoped then to be able to
give some good reasons for his position.
During the course of his remarks he said
he had been pastor of churches where they
had entertainments and came out in debt,
and others where they had none aud had
plenty OF money.
"Whyl' he exclaimed, You had enter
tainmentS mere all last year anu Stlil you
come out S700 in debt"
"You are in error. Brother Carradine,"
said some one in the rear of the church. I" 1t

- was Informed reliably that it WAS
$780," replied the pastor.
ut was only $500"
Even that is enough to show that enter
tainments are not the proper way for raising
money for church purposee.
Taking up another slip Of paper be read
the announcement that the Official Board
of the NJ. E. Church South would meet to-
night at st. Johns Church. Supper in the
church would be part of the programme.
This was the signal for more comments
upon such matters. He did not believe
God wanted his house turned into a restau-
rant, and lie was not slow in saying so.
Considering the extreme position DR.. Car
radine has assumed upon the subject Of
church entertainments, his promised SER
mon bids fair TO be quite interesting.

The English steamer Puno arrived here
this morning. When she left Valpa-
raiso, March 2lst, the rebels -oceu-

Camus, with his forces, marched toward
africa. Wherever these men may be, how

without water and provisions. Valparaiso
has been converted into a castle. Many of
the guns captured in Callao during the last
war have been mounted.
Three companies Of Quillota regiment
revolted at Qnilota. The revolt was sup
pressed and the leaders shot.
. After the fight at PoZ0 Almonte the vic
torious troops became disoTderly and sacked
the town. Women and girls were abused
and some murdered. Once fired with drink,
TiOting commenced among the men and soon
the torch was applied and three blocks were
destroyed. While the strife continued,
and the fall Of men at the hands of their
comrades was accompanied by the crashing
fall of walls. The lGboreTs from nitrate
fields took part in the work of destruction,
and eagerly seized the rifles of the soldiers
who fell. The soldiers found themselves
unable to exercise the least authority over
the men.

OF the Africans are smeared is dark sub

kill elephants, and is considered so danger

villages, but is carried on in the bush,
where also the arrows are smeared.
The viruence Of the poison is remarkable

perspiration all over the body follow with
extraordinary promptness and death enSneS.

Two Men Living Together for MOnth

Two Men Living Together for Months
Found to BE Brothers.
Thirty or forty years ago two boys were
bornspf a slave mother in the city Of New
Orleans. TbSy grew and prospered as
other BOYS of their kind did d II ~ the break
ing out of the war, when both gained their
liberty and entered the service of the
Unon-one as sailor and the other in the
infantry.
The boys were thus separated. and neither
knew whether the other was living or dead.
One, Joseph Mitchell, came to Newport
some years since and has supported himself
and family by doing odd jobs. Recently
the brother, Eugene Lewis, also came to
Newport, and, strange to say, hired tene-
ment in the house Of his lODg-loSt and un-
known brother.
The two went in and out of the same door
daily for months, until one day neisheOr
suggested to Lewis that Mitchell was also
born in New Orleans, and tue two ought to
become better acquainted.
Lewis saw no reason in that fact why he
should tronble himself, as New Orleans was
a big place, and many children besides
himself were born there. However, one day
he did Speak to Mitchell aud mentioned the
incident of the same place of nativity. Each
asked the other if he knew certain people
there, and when the names of the master
and mother were mentioned their ktnship
was discovered. Lewis told his brother OF
the death of their. mother, Louisa Herrin,
soon after the close of the war, and the two
they have reason to suspect, is living in
Providence. The two are now close COM
paniOnS, and the case forms another TO

The Pretty Landlady EIopes With Him,
and Her Hubby Is Disconsolate.
Silence and sadness now mark the board
house of Mrs. Jennie Turville, and the
boarders refuse TO be comforted. The pretty
landlady eloped yesterday morning with
George Ritchie, the star boarder. MIR. Tur-
vile, her supposed lord and master, says
nothing about the affair." but tie neighbOrs
say the sound Of breaking furniture mingled
with choice assortment of maledictions,
testify to bis feelings, says the Chicago
Herald. Mrs. Jennie Turville is pretty,
plump blonde, of the turtle dove order.
About six months ago she and her husband
moved into the building at 413 State street,
and advertised for boarderS.
Whether it was the attractiveneSs Of the
landlady or the excellent meals given, no
one seems able to say; at any rate the house
filed up until the bell for breakfast was an
Swered by thirty hearty, hungry hoarderS
every morning. Prosperity settled on the
establishment and all went as merry as
a wedding feast. Then disaster, i'll the garb
of Ritchle, the star bOarder, made its ap-
pearance. A slight gulf opened between
the husband aud the peachy-eaeeked wife,
which gradually widened. But still the
husband was kind and considerate. In dis
cussions involving the peace of the family
which began TO occur, he never emphasized
his arguments with an AK or club. But
the star boarder remained in the house,
giving rise to the constant gnawing of the
bone of discomfort.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Tarville arose
with the lark aud the milkman, and, not
waiting for breakfast, hed himself to his
labors in suburban boiler factory. Ritchie
gathered up his wardrobe. So did Mrs. Tur-
Vile, and the effects of both were packed in
one trunk. An expressman was called and
the baggage hauled to the Polk-street de-
pot, being followed shortly by the couple.

being that their destination is the State of
