FLIRTED WITH THE PASTOR.

A New Preacher Causesa Sensation in the
COldenham COvenanter Church.
NEW YORK, March 3.-Among the handful
of buildings which comprise the set tie
ment of Coldenham. in Orange county, is
a Covenanter church. Rev. j. McCready
poured his eloquence from the pulpit of
the church on the rude fathers of the ham,
let until he received call which paid him
far better financially. An applicant for the
vacant pulpit came short time ago in the
person of Rev. Milligan, of Pennsylvania.
Sunday last was to have been his trial trip
and the regular attendants at the church
were out in full force. The Pennsylvania
pastor had spoken for some time to the
entire satisfaction Of his hearers, when he
suddenly halted in the middle Of his dis
course and said:
II regret to state that am an exceeding
ly nervous man and am annoyed by young
lady III the congregation who has been en-
deavoring to tiirt with me this morning.
have neither the time nor the inclination
to return the compliment at this time, but
may do 80 later"
These words fell like thunderbolt upon
the COvenanters, more especially as this
departure from theology was made while
on those of blushing young lady who is
noted for her good looks and regarded as
the belle of Coldenham. She left the
church dis2raced. The episode has had a
tendency 10 pOpulariZe Pastor MIliigan and
the chances point toward his becoming the
permanent preacher at the little Orange
county Covenanter church.

BRITISH ELECTION LAWS.
An Effort Made to Change the Provisions
for Voting.

An Effort Made TO Change the Provisions
for Voting.
LONDON, March 3.-In tho commons to-
day, Stansfeld, member for Halifax, moved
amendments to tho electoral laws, the most
important Of which is that no person shall
vote in more than one electoral area. The
present system, he said, originated when
the franchise was deemed class privilege
and not n citizens right. As the law now
stood man could vote in every county
and every borough where he held
house, in other words the man having the
most means would have the right to return
more members than one with smaller
means. Haworth submitted an amend
ment to the effect that any alteration in the
law was inexpedient unless providing that
different parts of Great Britain and Ireland
be represented in proportion to population.
Ireland, he said, is now grossly over-rep-
resented. Gladstone favored Stansfield's g
motion, but it was rejected, 29l to ls3, the
Irish members being absent.

Remarkably Quiet Are the Closing Scenes
Of tho Fifty First Congress--No
Extra Session.

WAsfrsoroN. March 3.-This congress 10
having remarkable closing. There is ~
air of extraordinary calmness about the
proceedings which consume the closing
twenty-four hours Of the congress, and
they are almost devoid OF interest. There
is, perhaps, more than the usual rush in tho
lobbies by those who are eager to press
through measures. The lobby ia very act
lve and is in a measure successful, thor Oh
all that was expected in the way OF getting
little measures through will not be accom-
plished. The work done to-day was chiefly
III the conference committees, the two
houses merely acting on reports. Friends
OF the copyright bill are working hard to
have the Sherman amendment given ND
by the senate, as they feel that
II the senate does not recede
the bill will fail. The result of the struggle
to put miscellaneous items on appropria-
tion bills is still in doubt. Therefore it is
not possible at this time to tell Just what
the aggregate of appropriations for tie Sos
sion will be. These miscellaneous items
count up enormously during the
rush Of closing hours Of session. At the
close of the last session very liberal ti-
mate was made by the committee, fixing
the sum Of those items at 5000, 600, bnt it
turned out that the aggregate was $4,000
GOO. 1t is safe to say the aggregate Of all
appropriations will exceed $525, ,O0O, 600: pos
sibly it will be considerably more.
An evening paper says: "The president
said to callers yesterday that the report
that he intended to send special message
urging the passage of the federal eIectit n
bill was not true. 1t would be both super
fluous and useless. The president said to
these gentlemen that he had no idea an ex-
ira session of congress- would be necessary.
As to the talked-of special session of the SEN
ate the president said he had no
intention OF calling one. There was, he
said, nothing in the present outlook Of
rublic business which would require it.
The president then told his callers that he
was going on a shooting trip about q week
after the adjournment Of congress, to be
gone few days"

FARMrNaroN, Me-, March 3.-Judge
Chandler, of the municipal court of this city,
has just decided novel case. 1t was
brought against trustee to recover the
amount in their hands to the credit of a de-
fendant against whom Judgment had been
given in a suit brought for $13.26 for a
baby carriage which he had. purchased. "Is
n baby carriage necessity?' was the point
decided.
Judge Chandler's decision was rs follows:
'The laws of necessity early given and
never repealed enjoin upon the human ace
the duty to increase and multiply. And
while he sittieth the solitary in families
what is home without a mother?' is a sig
nificant inquiry, since, in order to have
mothers, babies are necessary. and
if babies are necessary why
not baby carriage? The term

hardly be limited to things absolutely in
dispensable, but is used with considerable
latitude, depending upon the circumstances
of each case AS they may present them
selves.
"What might be necessity in given

of no use in II primeval or semi-civilized

LONDON. March 3.-The London ladies

actresses. Englishmen have been looking
for pretty faces and long purses from

they will not find such the best domestic

cousins, the story goes on to de clare that
the ladies from across the Atlantic do not
possess sufficiently warm natures; in fact,
they are incliued to be coldblooded.

advise them to marry the vivacious and
rosy-cheeked daughters of wealthy Man
chester, Liverpool or Birmingham business
men. This will insure SONS Of muscle and
