oHEoKERED CAREER ENDED.
A Brilliant But Erratic Ex-Preacher
Dies in a Hospital.

From the New York Press.
Philadelphia, Oct S.-The checkered
life of Rev. Waldo Messaros, preacher,
orator, scholar and roue, was blotted out
by death in the German hospital at II 80
a. m TO day He had been taken to the
hospital by friends from the gold cure re-
treat of Dr. G. $ Kirby, 254O North Six
teenth street. One of his friends, DR. De
Grandchamps, says Messaros was not I'M
dergoing proper treatment at the retreat,
and was in danger of death. DR.. Kirby
declares that if MeSsaros had remained at
his establishment he would have been
cured. He had been in this city since
early in the summer, when he came over
from New York, and had been on a con-
tinual debauch, lingering hour after hour
about the bar of the Washington hotel on
Chestnut street, where he had a room
and where he was engaged in some work
for Bible publisher of the city. When
reno we'd to the gold cure retreat he was
in delirium from drink.
METEoRIC CAREER.
Messaros' meteoric career has been full
of sensational turnings. According to
his own story, oft repeated, and always
doubted, he was native of Greece, and
born near Lepanto Compelled to fee the
country when young man, owing to his
family's political leanings, he came to
America and wandered about for a time.
teaching, writing and picking a livelihood
as best he could. Investigations of the
most searching character, induced by
Messaros' several escapades brought
vaguely to the surface that Messaros was
really native of Ireland, and his name
was Kelly. At all events he was a re-
markable fellow, polished orator, a
scholar, a deep thaologian and one of pc
culiar talents as debater and an actor.
When he 1oated in upon Philadelphia
he rapidly gained friends, and it was not
long before he was established pastor of
the Northwestern Presbyterian church,
and married to the estimable daughter of
a member of his flock in 1892 Soon his
broad views and peculiar acts led to dis
ruption in the church, and after some
stormy scenes the congregation broke
loose from the Presbytery and estab-
lished itself rs the Northwestern hide
pendent church.
CHURCH SCANDAL.
Here Messaros' actions became town
talk, and one day the city was greatly
scandalized by his arrest upon charge of
attempting to assault one of the women of
his flock in the parlor of her residence
He had been very attentive to her. The
trial of the case was one of the most sen
sational events in the city's history, and
when MessarOs was acquitted he was
borne out of the court house upon the
shoulders of admiring friends Mrs Coul-
ston, who had accused him, disappeared
with her husband from the city.
But Messaros did not remain long as
pastor Of the Northwestern church, and
after several stormy scenes he accepted
the care Of a flock in New York During
all his career as a preacher here Messaros
was frequently seen in places of debauch-
cry in this city, Atlantic and elsewhere.

never until the tents are struck, at the
end of August, is the camp without
sentinels. Night and day, rain or shine,
they keep their silent watch. About
once week e,ch cadet has, in some
capacity or other, tour of guard duty
which lasts for twenty-four hours. In
his best uniform he prepares for the
rigid inspection at guard mounting,
and that ceremony over, he goes on
duty. There are three reliefs, each
sentinel walking two hours and resting
four. 1t can hardly be called resting,
for the member of the guard stays or
sleeps at the guard tent with all his
clothes and belts on, and his rifle at his
side, ready to spring up at a moments
notice to repel thu real Or imaginary
attack of an enemy that may happen
along. The enemy is usually the in
specting officer who comes around
once or twice during the night and
turns the guard out, to the great dis
gust Of all concerned.
During the camp three hops are held
during each week They last only two
astic enjoyment what they lack in
length. The girls are relatives of the
officers and cadet, or visitors at the
post, and come from all parts of the
country. In spite of the guard and
other duty the cadet in camp finds con-
siderable time for happy strolls around
''f1irtation walk" with scme girl friend,
and adds, mayhap, his romance to the
many secrets which the historic old
rocks keep for those who have gone
before. He is usually able to attend
a couple of hops every week, but

Why Men Die Young.

1t appears, according to the regis
tration report of Massachusetts,, that
nearly twice as many women as men
in that State live to be over so years
of age. This is accounted for by the
great exposure of men to accidents,
to weather agencies, to the constant
strain of business life, to the anxiety
of providing for the family, all of
which tend to shorten the life of men.
The deaths by accident among men
are more than threefold greater than
among women, and men commit sui
eide in about threofold ratio as COM
pared with women.

DIR. BAXTER TALKS.

He Thinks the Time for Depoaiting
securities VIII be Extended.
DR.. Baxter, president OF the Southwest
ern railroad, is quoted in Macon as saying
that the time for depositing the Central Sc
curities which are to go into the reorganiza-
ton plan will be extended, as such course,
be states, is in the power OF the Southwest
ern stockholders, who meet in Macon
April IL.
President Baxter thinks that this course
will be pursued, as the stockholders are
necessarily awaiting the expiration of the
thirty days notice before their meeting can
be held. DR.. Baxter announces
that the report of the committee
sent on 20 New York will be given out for
publication as soon as it is put in bis hands.
which wlll probably be within a day or two
As the report IS almost certain TO be
adopted by the stockholders, holders of
Southwestern securities will in many in
stances, act in accordance with 1t as soon as
its contents are made known, and as it is
supposed to be favorable to tho reorganiza-
tion plan, such securities will probably be
transferred at once and turned Ia to the
Southern Bank. Some, however, nav de-
sire TO await the result Of the meeting, aud
for this reason DR.. Baxter thinks the time
for turning III the securities win be ex-
tended.
