The Pratt Meetings.

Evangelist Pratt closed bis labors
with the East Side churches last night,
much to the regret Of the Christian
people OF all denominations. His la
bors OF 10 days have been greatly
blessed. Pastors Dye, Stirling. Hill ana
Lavsrty speak highly of his work. but
could not withhold expressions OF regret
that he should be compelled to give mp
the work Just at this time. The audi
ence was very large, though it was not
generally known that it would be the
last night Mr.. Pratt would be with the
churches. A message was sent Tuesday
night to the pastors at Pomona asking
them to release Mr.. Pratt until Monday,
in order that he might continue his
meetings here. but they had perfected
arrangements to such an extent that it
would be impracticable to postpone 30
near the holidays.
Mr.. Pratt's concluding sermon was on
The Sin of Procastination. 1t was an
earnest appeal to the unconverted.
The union meetings will continue
throughout the week. Rev. DR.. Good
win will speak tonight. Mr.. Pratt goes

to look to see how he was dressed on the

from the wagon when Manuel shouted
at him."
Mr.. Woolner, in his eagerness to OBJ
ject to questions being put by Mr.. Gage,
interposed his objection before there
was really anything to object to. This
action on counsePs part drew from Mr..
Gage the remark that less interruption
would be eminently agreeable to him
an1 hlghly conducive TO tSe proper con-
duct of the case.
"You interrupt me. Mr.. Gage, when
you see fit, and l shall do the same"
"Let him ask his question before you
make your objection. Mr.. Woolner,"
sharply remarked the court.

1t was discovered on Friday that Daisy

summers, is about 81, 500 short in her

general merchants at Wampum. Re-
Gently her attractions in the way of dress
filled the hearts of the village maids with
envy, and her reckless buying of dresses
and jewelry finally aroused the suspic-
ion of her parents that she was appropri-
ating post office money. An investiga-
ton revealed the fact that the fair post
mlstresS's accounts were short, cash had
vanished, and money order books showed
false entries. On Friday Post office In
spector from Pittsburg was called in and
found that the shortage may amount to
81, 800. The girl seems bewildered at
the extent of her stealings and is una
bic to give any excuse for embezzling
the money.
