Prices For sermons.

Much has been said Of the practice Of
buying and selling sermons, practice,
by the way, Of no very special novelty.
Just before Toplady was about to be or
dained, Osborne, the bookseller, the
friend Of johnson, offered to supply him
with stock Of original sound sermons
for a trihe. II would sooner buy sec
ondhand Clothes was the tart reply.

have sold many to bishop" The price
Of sermons, as Of all elsa, has varied
with the times. In 154O bishop Of
Llandaf received from the chnrchwar-
dens of st. Margaret's, Westminster, for
q sermon on the Annunciation, a pike,
price 2s. 4d., gallon Of wine, 8 pence,
and boat hire--in all IS. 4d. In the
seventeenth century sermons seem to
have been valued at about 6 shillings
each.-Exchange.

George w. Dunn Brings Suit Against the
National Lithographic Company.
George W. Dunn yesterday asked for an in
junction against Horace Kenney, William c.
Cooke, and the National Lithographic Com
pany. In his petition he claims that the COM
pany is insolvent, and asks that Horace Ken
ney. the principal stockholder, be- made to
account and receiver appointed to take
charge of the company's affairs and wind up
its business.
This corporation figured conspieuously
lately in the investigation Of the bids for the
printing of the Patent Office Gazette.
Dunn states that the National Lithographic
Company was organized on June 13, 1898.
the capital stock was fixed OF $40. 900, divided
into 200 shares of the par value of 800 each,
and that the trustees for the first year were
George W. Dunn, Horace Kenney, and Will
liam C. Cooke.
The company bought out the Bell Litho-
graphic Company and assumed the obliga-
tions of that company. 1t was agreed to pay
ons-half of the Indebtedness of the Bell Com
pany on or before July l. 1894.
The premises of the Bell Lithographic Com
pany. Nos. 46l and 463 C street. were leased
and it was stipulated that before the eNpira-
tion of the lease the National Li;hographic
Company should agree to purchase the Bell
Lithographic Companys property Tor SI,OOO
This it has failed to do, and an action at law
has been entered for $4,000 against it by the
Bell Company.
1t was agreed that Geo. W. Dunn was to re-
ceive one-third and Horace Kenney two-thirds
of the profits of the National Lithographic
Company.
George W. Dunn alleges that Kenney claims
10 be the only stakeholder, has assumed the
management of the corporation, and has not
paid the Indebtedness of copartnership, and
he asks that Kenney be perpetually enjoined
from interfering with the management and
control of the affairs of the company.
