COCK-FIGHTS IN CHURCH,
Religious Services on the Lower Floor and
Cooking Mains in the Belfry.

LANCASTER, Pa, March 6.-Consider-
able excitement and indignation was
caused here yesterday when it became
known that the steeple of one of the
leading churches had been utilized as
cock pit while the pastor was holding
services in the auditorium below. 1t
is said that number of cooking mains
have been held there. The handlers of
the chickens entered the building os-
tensibly for the purpose of participat-
ing in the worship, but instead of going
to the auditorium they would steal
into the belfry. just how the chickens
were smuggled into the place is not
known, but it is suspected that the
pseudo worshipers had them secreted
beneath their coats.

Prudence Did Not Save Him.

From the Boston Transcript.
An amusing story of the thoroughness OF
the press censorship in Austria is told I'm q
German newspaper. An editor being a his
wits end for a leading article. had the in
epiration at the last moment to print these
lines:
After carefully perusing the leading arti-
Gle written for the present number by one
OF the ablest of our contributors. We have
arrived at the conclusion that IL may be
misinterpreted by the authorities and re-
garded as an attack upon the government
We ourselves consider IL to be perfectly In
nocent; but We are unwilling, for our
readers sake, well for our own, TO
have our newspaper confiscated. we have
very unwillingly, though as we think, pru-
IDENTIFY resolved to withdraw the article
This must serve as the apology to our read
ers for the blank space I'm our present issue
Imagine the shock with which he heard
from his clerk the next morning that the
paper had been confiscated by the police
For what reason" asked the astounded
editor. s'For malicious rfdicule of the in
situations OF the Austrian empire by the
omission of the leading article" replied the
clerk.

the market Of Canton was worth 500. but
in India. where the banks of the Ganges
were more fertile, a chest could be obtain
ed for $780, Here was a chance for specu-
lation; no other product of India would
yield 400 per cent profit
When the emperor found that the drug
was demoralizing his subjects, he imne-
diately prohibited it's sale and use. Confs-
cation of property and death were the pen
alties not only for those who sold but for
those who smoked the drug.
Illicit Sale.
Notwithstanding these. prohibitory meas
ures. the consumption still increased; arm
ed English vessels were stationed in the
Canton river. which supplied smuggler
boats. also well armed and ready for battle
with the Chinese war junks. Officials were
bribed. mandarins conciliated. and the i'm
periai laws set at defiance. 1t would not be
altogether unreasonable for a Chinaman to
assert that he had from the English some
striking lessons In the art Of law-evadinx
which All Sin now practices so astutely
The government at Pekin used every ef-
fort to stop the sale. while the East India
Company used every means to stimulate It,
The English did not use their own men as
smugglers. but as the rice crop had failed
and famine was prevalent, they employed
Chinese coolies. poor, half-starved wretches
who were willing to work at anything to
keep soul and body together. The Chinese
authorities. when fortunate enough to
catch smuggiers, strangled them in front OF
the English factories.

Four Local British Parliameuta.

From London Truth.
I sincerely hope that the next general
election will result in an overwhelming ma
jority for home rule. But 1t Is obvious that
as sensible men, we must contemplate the
possibility of the reverse happening. To
take for granted that what we wish must
occur Is only worthy of fools. What, then,
ought to be done? We ought to declare at
once for home rule all round. and go to the
election with this cry.
In Ireland home rule is a more pressing
and immediate necessity than in the other
parts Of the United Kingdom, and while we
should be prepared to grant self-govern-
ment to Ireland, even II 1t be not desired by
England, Scotland and Wales, yet We ought
to make 1t clear that our aim Is to have
four local parliaments. with one parliament
sitting at Westminster. and limiting its
functions to imperial matters. Should we
win the election-as believe that We should
with this program-it ought to be under
stood that We should proceed at once to
give effect to it..

A wife may combine the personal appear

more than to be urged to tell when he

is that 1 never contradict him. l simply

The boy King and the Briraud.

From the London Standard
The meeting between the robbe- chief
Drlgics and the young king of Servia men,
toned in The Standard" yesterday was a
far more romantic affair than as originally
reported. The king, attended by a strong
escort. went for drive on Saturday over
the well-wooded mountains to Usicze when
suddenly man armed to the teeth darteC
ont of the dense forest, and holding out a
pistol stopped the horses of the kings car
rlage. This was all done so quickly that
there was no time for any one to be able to
prevent the man shooting at the king had
he really meant mischief. Before the escort
and suite. however. had sufficiently collect
ed themselves to seize the man. he threw
away his weapon, and sinking on his knee
exclaimed: My lord and king. / am the
rObber chief Dragics, upon whose head thy
government has set a price Of three thou
sand francs. Up to the present they have
not been able to catch me. Now 1 volun-
tarfly lay my life in thy hands"
The king was much startled, and gave
orders that the man. who in the meantime
had been seized by the royal escort. should
be liberated. but told him to go and give
himself up at the next gendarmerie. adding
that he might count upon the royal elem
ency.
