Christian work as representative of
the denomination of the Disciples of
Christ, found his first charge along the
line of the Chesapeake & Ohio rail-
road, ministering to the people of
Ronceverte, Clifton Forge and Sinks
Grove. From these little churches in
these towns he went to Newport News
to preach, until he became engaged in
evangelistic work among many
churches, which he visited TO conduct
revivals. In April, 1891, the Vermont
Avenue Christian church, Washington.
built chapel on Capitol Hill, and
called upon Rev. Mr.. Bagby to conduct
a revival meeting to awaken interest
in the undertaking At that meeting
about one hundred converts were
added TO the church. and the interest
aroused has been so maintained under
the ministrations of the Young pastor
that the Ninth Street Christian church
numbers, with two and one-haH years
of existence. more than four hundred
members, including very large body
of active Christian Endeavorers. Mr.

Couch. In 1863 he was chairman of
the republican central committee of
Pennsylvania. In 1901 he was
United States minister to Turkey
under President Grant, and in
1928 was member of the Penn

He was chief member of the "Mac-

to Louisiana in 1877 by Presi-
dent Hayes to represent him un-
officially and to endeavor to bring
the conflicting parties in that state to
an understanding. In 1881 he was ap-

but, on the latter's death, was sue
ceeded by the late Benjamin Harris
Brewster, of Philadelphia. He then
resumed his law practice in Philadel-

chairman of the Civil Service Reform

IN DEfOE'S TIME.
Old English Debtors Hop From the Fry
ing Pan Into the Fire,

Old English Debtors Hop From the Fry
ing Pan Into the Fire.
In Daniel Defoe's time, debtors were
frequently compelled, in seeking means
to eXtricate themselves from their EN-.
barrassments, to consent to anything,
# they thereby could avoid the horrors
of the debtors prison. In many cases
they took advantage of a custom that,
in one form or another, had the sane.
ton of antiquity, and being generally
able-bodied men, they pls ced them
selves in the hands of some merchant
or agent, who, having effected an ar
rangement with the creditors. took
possession of the unfortunate debtors,
and, hurrying them to the nearest sea-
port, shippedthem broad, generally to
Virginia or Maryland, as SO much mer7
chandise. Sometimes the dealer ac-
companied his cargo, in order, if possi-
BILE, to obtain better price at the end
of the voyage.
Arrived at their destination, the cap
tives-to give them their real name
were sold To any planter whose offer
would recoup the agent for the sum he
had expended in purchase and transit
and also allow him handsome profit.
Ky the terms of this sale the captive
was bound to serve his new master for
several years, his liberty being nomi-
nally secured at the end of that period;
and from the hope of redemption and
deliverance thus held out to him, the
term "Redemptioner" came to be ap.
piled to these unfortunates.
But any hopes that the redemptioner
might cherish of his ultimate liberia
:ion soon proved fallacious, and he
found himself plunged into fresh en-
barrassments long before his period OF
servitude had expired.
Charges were made upon him for
clothing, for tobacco, even for the
inecessaries of life-charges which ne
had no means of meeting, however
good his inclinations; and too late he
found that he had, in fact, become a
slave. without money, without rights.
and without hope. Such friends as he
had We're in England. and proba blv had
forgotten him altogether: perhaps, if
even they remembered him. they were
without the means of assisting him.
And the chance of money reaching the
individual for whom it was intended
was in those days very small Pacific
railways and ocean greyhounds" were
unknown in the good old times and
communication was slow and inse-
cure.
Some of these redemptioners were o.
course mere fortunate than others. and
had friends and connections more
powerful and more kindly disposed.
and such often ultimately obtained
their freedom. But these were the ex-
eeption. and, generally speaking. the
unhappy victim labored on from year
to year, his redemption" receding fur
ther and further into the distance, till
at last death puts an end TO his suffer
ings. journal

SALT LAKE Crry, t:se- s-The territorial
executive mansion OF Utah Is the simplest
structure used for such . purpose in the
United States. 1t is a plain two story brick
residence containing Il rooms. for which
the government pays a monthly rental OF
S5. For six years it has been used by tbs
governors Of Utah. II was rented March |,
1857. by the present governor, Caleb w.
West, during his first term of Office unde,
Cleveland's former administration II
stands near the business district. The only
distinguishing sign is the United States
flag, which floats over 1t during business
hours. and the red letter box attached &c
one OF the wooden pillars Of the narrow We
randa. In front is an unkept lawn, lined ou
one side by a boxwood hedge and on the
other by green lattice fence.
With the advent Of state government, ex.
pected in few months or a year at tas
farthest. this unpretentious house will b<
deserted by its official occupants The
United States flag will float over it no
more. and II will again become a common
residence. The simplicity of the passing
territorial government is illustrated by the
way in which this building came TO be Sc
lected for its present use When Govcrno,
-
ties of Office, he used hotel suite for con
Quoting business. This was n step in adj
vance of the previous administration,
which had been conducted by the governor,
secretary of state and other officers st theii
homes or business Offices. Governor West
saw the advisability of bringing the terri
torial officers together under one roof
Owing 10 the small government con,in,
gent expense fund available for such pur
poses he took an old residence on one Of
the main streets. This had 10 be given uu
in about a year. and the governor started
like an ordinary citizen to look for another
home within the means OF Uncle sam and
selected the one now occupied.
The governors private Office, barely fur
nished with carpet. plain leather chairs and
modest desk. is in the front bay windowed
room. You can always tell whether his ex.
cellency is at home by looking through the

London's Lord Mayor II . Gorgeous Crea-

London's Lord Mayor II . Gorgeous Crea-
ture When Arrayed In His Robes.
The fountain of municipal honor in
England undoubtedly springs from
the Guildhall, London, which Justly
claims to be accounted the most an
cient of our municipal halls, seeing
that the lord mayors of the last eight
centuries are with justice assumed to
have had prototypes in the Roman
prefect and the Saxon fortreye or port
grave. For considerable number of
years, says the London Telegraph, the
robes of the lord mayor, the court Of
aldermen, and the common councillors
have been settled with a precision that
none save the most reckless Of inno-
vators would presume to disturb.
The lord mayor himself has his
"gold" robe for the occasion of the an
nual Guildhall banquet, and for the
times when he proceeds in state either
to the new law courts or to the houses
of parliament. The aldermen have
their scarlet gowns, the sheriffs their
distinctive and very handsome robes
and chains, while the common coun-
cilors rejoice in gowns called ''mazar-
fnes," it being generally understood
that mazarine is term for dark blue
color, although, according to some
photographers, mazarine also means
a drinking vessel and an old way of
dressing fowls. Then, again, when
the sovereign comes into the city the
lord mayor is bound to don robe of
crimson or purple velvet trimmed with
errnine. At the time of his investi-
ture he wears massive gold chain,
but when he is honored by reelection
at the expiration of his term of Office
he wears two chains.
The mace of silver gilt, surmounted
by a royal crown and the imperial
arms,is carried before the mayor by the
authority ofthe charter of Edward Ill,
while the city possesses no less than
four swords-one called the pearl, pre-
sented by Queen Bess when she opened
the first royal exchange, and SO called
from its being richly set with pearls.
The sword precedes the chief magis-
trate on all occasions of rejoicing and
festivity. The sword Of state is car
ried before the lord mayor as an en-
blem Of his sovereignty within the city
proper; the black sword is used on fast
days in Lent and at the death of any
member of the royal family, while the
fourth sword is that placed close to
the lord mayors chair at the central
criminal ooprf
