One Thing a Proofreader Can Do.

Native Patagonians, like other saw
age people, have very keen eyes for
certain things which their
modes of life have made it indispensa-
BILE that they should notice. In other
words, they are specialists, and as a
matter of course they excel in their
own particular line. But it does not
follow that they have better eyes thar
are possessed by men of civilized coun
tries. Set one of them to find re-
versed IS" in the middle of printed
page, says Mr.. Hudson, and the tears
would run down his brown cheeks, and
he would give up the search with ach
ing eyeballs. But the proofreader can
find the reversed letter in a few mo
ments and never strain his eyes in the
least.-Youth's Companion.

FOR WANT OF FUNDS
The Extension of the Free Delivery System
has Been Indefinitely Postponed for Lack
of the Necessary Means to Maintain It.

The Extension of the Free Delivery System
has Been Indefinitely Postponed for Lack
of the Necessary Means to Maintain 1t.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Sat the begin
ming of every quarter of the year it
has heretofore been the custom of the
postoffice department to extend the
free delivery service to those towns
whose receipts had SO increased as to
warrant such an extension. For
months in many small towns where
this system has been in use the gov
eminent has been steadily losing money
on account of the receipts running be-
hind the expenses.
Acting Postmaster-General Jones,
when asked yesterday as to the future
policy of the department in the mat
ter. said: THE extension of the free
delivery service to towns has been in
definitely postponed, owing to the fact
that the appropriations for the year
will not be sufficient to maintain the
service in any more towns. If We
should extend it to all the towns that
are now asking for it, the department
would need at least $500 600 for that
purpose. 1t will be the policy of the
department. in the future, to confipe
the extension of the free delivery serT-
ice to towns which we know will have
receipts sufficient to pay expenses.

PROF.. DAVID SWING.

The Great Preacher Suecumbs to Acrte
JaantiIs. and Dies Surrounded by Eela-
tiFes-Ehe Birth, Childhood, Youth and
Manhood OF the Deceased-Kis TRIAL for
HeFesy-Eow He AlIayed Filter Feelings.
CHICAGO. Oct. 5.-Prof. David Swing
died at his home on the Lake Shore
drive at 5:15 o'clock yesterday. He
was taken i'll about week ago with
gastric fever, which developed in few
days into acute jaundice. He had
been in comatose condition for thirty
six hours before his death and the end
was inomentarily expected since that
time. Mrs. Kicker and Mrs. Starring,
the professors two married daughters,
and The immediate members of his
'a.nily were at the bedside when DR..
lis pronounced life extinct.
TrDf. Swings ancestry was German,
coming to this country before the
.llrtcen original st,..es had been es-
aJiisiied. David. the youngest son,
was born in Cincinnati. August 23,
$50, his father dying two years later.
When David was years Of age his
mother removed to Reedsburg. O.,
which was the family residence for
three years. \ settlement was then
made on d farm near Williams
burg, where, during the follow
ing six years David was a farmer
boy and scholar in the pub
lie school. On this farm was laid
the foundation FOR that sturdy man
hood and remarha BILE self-poise so no.
tcea ole III after years. He studied and
taught himself SO perfectly that at the
age of Is he entered Miami university
at Oxford o. At this same school were
Benjamin Harrison and Whitelaw Reid.
Young Swing supported himself by
working and teaching school during
vacations. His intention was to be
lawyer, but the religious element
OF his mind predominated. and he
studied for the Presbyterian ministry.
In 1866. Prof. Swing accepted the pas
torate of the Westminster Presbyterian
church in this city. This service was
interrupted by the great fire of 1871,
which not only swept away his church,
but all his personal belongings, leav-
ing him with nothing but the clothes
on his back. Within year his church
was rebuilt on the old site.
About this time occurred the most
important event in the great minister's
career-his trial by the Chicago pres
bytery on a charge of heresy preferred
by Rev. DR.. Francis l.. Patton, then ed
itOr Of the Interior, and now president
of Princeton college. These charges,
of which there were twcrty-eight spec
ifcations of lapees from Presbyterian
doctrine. We're not sustained, there be-
ing sixty-one members in the presby-
terry and only thirteen votes against
him.
But the subsequent feeling was SO
bitter that Prof. Swing brought mat
tiers to a close by resignjng his pas
torate, a large number Of his friends
going with him and forming the Cen
trail church, in which Prof. Swing has
since labored with great success.
Prof. Swing was a man of broad cul-
ture and extensive learning and his
library is one of the best in the state.

CRUSHED AT A CROSSING.

A st. Louis s Suburban Electric Car Run
Down by a Wabash Train-Six Persons
Seriously Injured
ST. Louis. Oct. 5.-A special west
bound freight train on the Wabash
road struck and totally demolished a
car of the st. Louis & Suburban cleo
trio line at the Union avenue crossing
at $50 o'clock last night. Four pas
sengers who were in the car at the
time, two park policemen and two wo-
men, together with the conductor and
motorman, were seriously injured,
and were removed in city ambulances
to the Muilanphy hospital, at Grand
avenue and Montgomery street. That
none were killed outright is little short
of a miracle.
The cause of the accident is ascribed
to the negligence of the Waterman at
the crossing. who failed to close the
gates and display the usual signal.
