Too Many Women.

An Atlanta correspondent says that
Rev. Carl Bersh has resigned the pas,
torate of the German Lutheran church
because there were too many women
members. "You see, he said, sit is
impossible to run church where the

men in the church, the rest are WON

other arrangement, but as for being

Of women, | must be excused for the
future"
Mr.. Bersh ought to have resigned
long before he did. He hasn't got
sense enough to preach. He doesn't
know anything an inch from his nose.
Eliminate woman's work from the
churches and half Of them will be-

before the summer Is over.
If Mr.. Bersh has any friends they
should hunt the nearest asylum for
the weak.minded and engage board
and lodging for him there. There is
where lie belongs.

in his own store too, and there were
at least five or six gentlemen outside

acceptance, aud, after he had agreed
to accept the nomination, they allowed
him to use his own team and hired
men to run the voters to the polls

Il wonder how many of the people
who dabble IN Wall street fluctuations
know how the term watering stock
originated" said New Yorker to the
Washington News. '.0ld Daniel Drew,
who was one of the most daring and
INSCRIPTIONS operators that ever lived
and who made and lost more money
than any man who ever dealt in stocks
in Wall street, or anywhere else for
that matter, was u droyer up in Put
nam county, New York, for years be-
fore he ever knew what railroad
share was, and he was a middle-aged
man before he eyer bought or sold
one. Dan Drew was as tricky when
dealing in stock as he was later when
his business embraced the other yari

"When about to dispose of a
herd of cattle he kept them away from
damp for "a hours before
the selling time occurred and mixed
salt with their feed. just before they
were to be weighed he would let them

the way they would drink would be
a caution. They would store away
water until their sides were distend.
ed, and when they got on the scales
they weighed heavy, you may rest as
sured. When Drew went into the
street he would initiate tile stock Of
any railroads he might get control Of
by increasing it beyond all rules of
right or justice, and one day, when
some one spoke to him about it being
old Dan merely winked
and remarke that there couldn't be
any harm in merely watering stock.
He was marvellous man. At one
time he was worth $4,000, 900, and
yet he died poor"

IA is being given out every day
that Mr.. Cleveland will make but few,
if any, removals from office. In other
words he will allow Republican office
holders to serve out their term of four
years. But these statements are not
warranted by the facts in the case.
He has broken all records and made
more appointments to office than any
of his predecessors.

WASHINGTON, D. G.. April Is 18e

WASHINGTON, D. c., April Is, 1893.
The struggle between the Wall
street spectators in gold and the
Secretary of the Treasury is still on,
and at last accounts the Secretary of
the Treasury had somewhat the bet
Ter of the contest. The fight is very
interesting. 1t may, in fact, be de-
scribed as distinct epoch in the his
tory of the country. Secretary Car
Isle is determined that the influence
of Wall street must no longer domi-
nate the financial operations of the
United States Government, and lie
has resolved to declare his indepen-
dence Of Wall street now.
It Qged to be pet saying among
public men here that Mr.. Carlisle had
not much backbone, and that if he
had backbone equal to his brain pow
er, He Hoglq pc the greatest man IN
The latter half of the century. Well,
MF. Carlisle is gradually showing to
to these critics that his backbone is
equal to any kind of an emergency
that can confront him. He has fred
more Republicans since he has been
in control of the Treasury Department
than any other man in the service of
the Government. and more pressure
has J cen brought to bear upon him
by old friends, including Democratic
Senators and Representative, to secure
the reinstatement Of discharged than
most men could withstand, but Mr.
Carlisle has not up to date reinstated
anyone he discharged. He told the
Senators, Representatives and promi-
pent politicians who have pleaded
with him for the restoration of some
favorite Republican that these cases
were considered before and not after
dismissal of the person interested.

A QUEER RAIN THEORY.
Precipitation from the Soldiers Given as
Cause of Showers After Battle.

Precipitation from the Soldiers Given as a
Cause of Showers After Battle.
A most extraordinary theory has re-
Gently been propounded, says the Bos-
ton Globe, to show the reason why
rain usually falls after severe battle
has been fought.
The ancients used to attribute the
phenomenon to the generosity of some
diety who was kind enough to make
of mans degradation as soon as pos
sible, and later on, when cannon came
to be used as a means of destroying
life, the detonations of these machines
were said to cause the wonderful down
pour of rain.
But more prosaic, up to date people
of to-day put it down to perspiration.
And this is how they go to prove it:
One soldier will, in the course of
twelve hours fighting, give off six
gallons of water. He drinks much.
Thirst for gore, glory, and water go
together on such occasions, and the
total amount of moisture given off by
one man is said to be sufficient to
cover twelve square feet three-quar-
tiers of an inch deep.
Now, of course, all this perspirat ton
evaporates and goes up into the at
mosphere. The atmosphere, becoming
unduly charged with moisture, offers
itself on the slightest provocation to
the formation of clouds, and in nine
cases out of ten rain falls Immediately
condensation sets in.

The minister of justice has just pub
lished some statistics of suicides which
are not without interest. They show
an average of per cent. for males IN
der twenty years of age, and of 80 per
cent. for men over sixty. Of suicides of
females, on the other hand, per cent
were those of girls under twenty, while
there were not more than 81 per cent.
for women over sixty years of age.
Twenty-siX per cent. of the suicides
were attributed to mental derange-
ment, and 20 to physical suffering.
Drunkenness is held responsible for IL
per cent. and love affairs for a.
Most of the men had recourse to the
rope, while the women preferred death
by drowning, though some took poison,
which seems to be altogether eschewed
by the sterner sex. Strangely enough,
suicides are far more frequent in the
spring and summer than during the
colder months, which leads to the in.
ference that want, which is much more
prevalent in the winter than in the
other seasons, is not the usual cause OF
these sad determinations to be rid OF
life.-London Telegraph.

the other. SHAKE" said B. He shook.
and five aces appeared upon the board.

can I beat that? The very best can
do is to tie you. Give me a show"
