A CURIOUS SIMILARITY
Between This Story and That of DR.. Tai
mage's Chnrch.

IMAGES Chnrch.
An instance which is analogous to the loss
by fire of DR.. Talmage's three churches oc-
CURED in Scranton, Pa. 1t is not intended
here to intimate that the similarity between
the losses by fire in Brooklyn and in Scranton
extended beyond the surface results, but these
were very similar. The congregation of the
Scranton church was one of the richest and
most important in the city, and the churches
were consumed by fra, one after another,
until three had been burned to the ground.
After the third church, and the most expen-
sive one of the city, had been destroyed it
occurred to one of the deacons Of the church,
as he sat stroking his chin whiskers and look
ing over the insurance policies, that he would
investigate the matter. He did not mention
his proposed Investigation to anybody, but
quietly secured New York detective, and
that parsonage. after several months work,
succeeded in proving the guilt of the sexton
OF the church. As is usual in such cases. the
sexton was the only person in the whole
length and breadth of the town whom no one
ever suspected. He gained his living from
the church, was devoted to its interests, and
was solid, substantial. and worthy citizen.
Everybody knew him, including the deacon
with the chin whiskcrs, but it was proved be-
yond shadow Of doubt that the sexton
had set fire to all three of the churches in
succession. and the justice of his conviction
was afterward shown by his full and absolute
confession of the crime.-New York Sun.

vAPORINGS OF CRANK.
That Is What Senator Brice Said About tn
Bribery Investigation Matter

That Is What Senator Brice Said About the
Bribery Investigation Matter.
Asked as to the effect of the investigation
to begin next Monday. Senator Brice said he
did not know anything about it, but ridi-
culed the attempt at bribery as being the va
porings of crank who was talking to
employees. Anybody, he said, who had
S15, 900 and any sense could put it to better
use than trying to spend it in that way.
''As to the other part of the investigation"
continued Mr.. Brice, sit is part Of the whole
fight to break down the sugar schedule, as it
has been thought on the Republican side that
If the sugar schedule should be abandoned
thare would be half dozen Democrats who
would vote against the bill. do not know
what 1t will amount to, but so far as the OBJ
tanning Of information goes az to who con-
tributed money to the Republican national
committee or the Democratic national COM
mittee I apprehend that it will be found that
the members of these committees who received
these contributions will not remember from
whom they came nor how they were used. 1t
is not their business to remember these things,
and if you want to know about such things
you have to catch one of those fellows in
transit when the matter Is fresh in his mind"
And in remembering mood" it was sug-
gested.
And in remembering mood" repeated
the Ohio Senator.

virginia's One Favored Creditor,

Every now and then the United States gov
ernment wakes up and asks Virginia to re-
deem about $1,000 in our state bonds. which
it holds for the Indian trust fund. And our
commonwealth always suavely replies that it
is perfectly willing to settle If the United
States government will allow US an Offset a
debt OF nearly the same amount, which it has
been owing US for ages on account of money
borrowed and remaining unpaid. After such
passes the two parties to the controversy
usually subside into inocuous desuetude until
another federal administration comes in,
when the demand is renewed with the same
result. And SO it goes. The United States
government is one Of the few creditors Vir-
ginia ever had whom she could back with an
offset.-Richmond Dispatch.

The Dog Got the Squirrel.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 13.-Jonathan Young
and his son Livy. well-known and reputable
farmers of Johnston county, were ont in the
woods last week when their dog spied small
ground squirrel and chased it under a log.
The father and son drove the little animal
from beneath the log with a pole, the dog
standing at the side of the log ready to grab
his prey.
Suddenly the squirrel darted out from IN
der the log and the dog made grab at him.
Like fash the little aniInsS oksap ppeared
down the dogs throat. For an instant the
dog stood and trembled as if suffering great
pain, and then began to howl and roll over
and over in agony. For q half hour he con-
tinued his signs OF distress. and then gradu-
ally returned to his normal condition. The
master expected to see the dog die, but he
has now fully recoved and appears as well as

AN EVENING.

Along the far horizons fading line,
The ruddy gates Of day have closed them soft,
And, speckling all the mystic dark aloft,
The old worlds beam and young atrembling
shine
Across wan wastes and wide Of desert years,
Whence youths white buds and sweet red
roses bloomed,
Tho sadness of first hopes and dreams, en-
tombed,
Comes borne to me in gath'ring mists Of tears
swimming gaze at length lift above
The shadows Of the dressful earth, and loi
Again, weary heart, thy visions glow;
Thou seest the shining Of immortal love!

Judge Miller was at his old place in police

He came into the exchange editors room
late last night. All day long the exchange
! editor had piled his scissors. mightier than
the pen. The chords stood out on the ex-
change editors arm. Great drops stood on
the exchange EDITORS brow, struggling for
precedence with deep furrows OF thought,
also on the same brow. The smooth dome of
the exchange editors head was flushed with
the seething, agitated grey matter below it.
When this man came in the exchange editor
had premonition. He grasped his scissors
more firmly. and the corners OF his mouth
went down cruelty. The steely glitter of the
scissors was nothing to the wicked look in his
eyes.

Such magnificent audience as has not
been before during the whole season, even to
witness Hoyt farce, crowded the Academy
to the door Friday night at the presentation
of "Cavaileria Rusticana" and 81 Pagliacci''
in great double bill. 1t is the complete and
signal triumph Of Hinrich and his company
in Washington and one that we can hardly
forget Despite the beauty of the voices Of
Giulle and Del Puente and Kronold, q thing
that no one can fail to comprehend, this DEM
onstration does not, of course, mean that all
of the thousands OF people in the audience
understood or even enjoyed the rendering Of
these two representations Of the modern
music. Much of the dramatic vocalization
was utterly incomprehensible to the average
theater-goer.
Much Of the orchestration was meaningless
even to the average opera goer. To q large
part of the audience. with the exception per-
haps Of the delicious interlude, as "Cavalleria
Rusticana" and few of the choruses and
more simple solos, nearly the whole evening
was caviare. But this fact does not lessen
the triumph OF Mr.. Hinrich. Those of us
who have cultivated musical tastes enjoy this
matchless company OF his, and those Of US
who are Philistines have the exquisite sense,
rather unfounded, OF imposing on the elect.
Every one is satisfied.
The repertoire Of the Hinrich company for
its last week is as follows: Monday, "Car-
men," Tuesday. la Traviata;" Wednesday,
"Aida;" Thursday. Carmen" Friday, "The
Jewess:" Saturday matinee, ''Mignon," ard
Saturday night, double bill. "Cavalleria
Rusticana" and III Trovatore."
