A Surprise Party.

A hunter and a wolf had an interest
ing mutual surprise party to themselves
I the hills near Helena, Mont, few
avs ago. The hunter, arrayed in a
heavy, wolf-skin overcoat, fur side out
ward, was examining some traps set the
previous night. He was STOPPING over
one, rearranging the bait, when there
was the sound of a fierce growl, and a
heavy weight fell suddenly on his back,
bearing him to the ground, so that he
barely missed being caught in his own
trap. Ue managed to shake himself
free, and, recovering his feet, found
facing him full-grown buffalo wolf.
The wolf seemed quite as much sur
prised as the hunter, and they looked
at each other for some seconds before
the fight (which ended in the death of
the WOLF began. The brute evidently
was fooled by the overcoat and the
hunters stopping position, and mistoolk

For several weeks N. a. Halsey, the
manager of Pach Bros photograph
gallery on Chapel street, Hartford,
Conn, has noticed a deficit of about 81
q day in his accounts, says the New
York Sun. He decided that some one
was tapping the cash drawers. The
only persons who had admission to the
gallery besides customers were r. M.
Bowman, Mr.. Halsey's assistant; Mr..
Bowman's younger brother, who acts as
errand boy, and an old colored woman,
called ''auntie," who came early every
morning to sweep out and prepare
the Office for the business of the day.
No one has ever known what
"auntie's" last name is, but she has
been doing odd jobs of housekeeping
about town for a long while. She is
about sixty years old. It was her duty
to go to the studio between Ave and six
o'clock every morning. The Office boy
usually reported at seven o'clock, and
Mr.. Halsey himself came down little
later.
It had been Mr.. Halsey's custom for
years to leave over night 81 or IS in

the studio, SO that his assistant or the
Office boy could make change or pay
small bills II necessary before the
manager arrived The deficit was nj.

Then he placed q lot of scenery around

Complains of an Elder
NEWARK, N. J., May Worshippers
at St James colored church on New near
Washington street, have been agitated for
some time over the family troubles of their
pastor, Rev. ]. T. Rex, Of 90 New street.
Recently Mr.. Rex asked Bishop Tanner, of
Trenton, to transfer him pending the ex-
animation into some charges which he in
tended preferring against Presiding Elder
Morgan OF this conference who lives in
Trenton. The bishop took the papers and
last week detailed Mr. Rex as supernume-
rary minister assigning him to q charge
at West Philadelphia until the troubles
are settled.
In the meantime the congregation OF st.
James is without a permanent pastor.
Mr.. Rex told reporter that he intended
to press the charge against Elder Morgan.
He claims that the latter broke up his
home. There had for a long time, said
Mr.. Rex, been much scandal in the church,
owing to rumors about his wife, to whom
he was married some years ago. She was
Miss Rachel Trutt of Camden. Up to
six weeks ago she lived with her husband
at rs New street but after a stormy scene
in the pastors house Mrs. Rex went to her
parents home in Camden.
Mrs. Rex is fine looking woman, very
light in complexion, dashing in carriage
and dress and rather accomplished. She
is about 80 years of age. Mrs. Rex sought
company and went out considerably into
colored society, -
Mr.. Rex says that until certain rumors
reached his ears he never thought that his
wife would even f1irt. He was told that
she had been seen in New York with Pre-
siding Elder Morgan, and then he began
to question her.
''She always complained of her eyes
when she wanted to go to New York, said
the pastor. 81 was blind to what was go
ing on until I found that she generally met
two gentlemen and a lady there. Then
sent lady to do some detective work and
learned the worst. OF course, could not
stand that kind of thing, SO I let her &c
home and told her would sue for q
divorce. complained to Bishop Tanner
that Presiding Elder Morgan was making
trysts to New York with my wife. The
matter has not yet been settled"
