PECULIAR CASE.
A Dying Man Who Thought His
Children Had Returned TO Him.

A peculiar incident in the life OF the Rev.
Thomas j. Berry, rector of ST. AIMS Catholic
Church, has been brought to mind through
the somewhat similar story published re-
Gently of the death in Washington Of
Father Walters who was prominently
connected with the famous Surratt case. The
event referred TO occurred when Father Berry
was rector of the Church of Our Lady of Vista
zion, at Lehigh avenue and Leamy street
One stormy night, after Father Berry had
retired, he was awakened by his house
keeper. who said that she had heard the bell
In the sanctuary ringing. He told her that
she must have been dreaming but she
stOutly denied this and hade him listen. Sure
enough. they heard the bell ring, as il by a
person in great haste. Father Berry, how
ever, thought there were burglars in the
church, aud dressing hastily he took a light
and boldly entered the building.
What was his surprise 10 see kneeing before
tn altar two small, poorly clad children, their
faces wet with tears, who seemed TO have been
praying. When asked what they were doing
there at such an unearthy hour. they replied
that they had come for the father to administer
the last sacrament.
Father Berry took the fathers name and
went in haste to the hospital When he ex-
planned his errand the superintendent expressed
great surprise. He said that there was man
dying in ihp hospital by the name Fathrr Berry
had mentioned, but that no one had been sent
for the priest.
The priest was taken to the side OF a cot on
which lay man with wan, W. Sted face.
WHO are you?" demanded The man in a
wrak voice as the priest approached HIM.
II am priest-did you not send for me a
few moments ago?"
You are mistaken" The man whispered; 81
dld NOT SEND Tor you-l nave no one 10 send-I
am all alone In the world am dying"
That IS strange" replied the priest "for ]
found two children in the church. They had
rung the bell and they told me that their father
lay here dying anc gave me your NAME"
is IL possible ?'' gaSped The man. Springlng
mp IN bed. Two children, did you say? What
did they look like 2"
Their appearance was described in a few
words, and as the man listened his head
dropped upon bis bosom. Tears poured from
his eyes. and he tried 10 speak At last, with
a grr at effort. he cried:
They ave my children-the children l buried
Come back from heaven to help save my
soul" With this lie fell back dead Philadel-

A HUMAN PINCUSHION.
Peculiar Result OF Wound Received
on the Battlefield.

Another pin has been taken out OF General
Clement A. Ev ans OF Georgia. Southern people,
G eorgians particularly. have frequently heard
the general referred to as "the pincushion."
That nickname "Shanks," which the news
papers have used, probably belonged once to
some other Eyans-certainly not to this
one, his friends say, not because IL is
inappropriate. but because the other Is
more appropriate. The general is literally
a pincushIOn. His body was once full Of pins

priSed recently, in fact, to learn from the IA

bullet had struck the paper OF pins and gone
through his body. carrying number OF pins

TO be fatally wounded he recovered, how
ever, in time TO do more nghting. His con-
vaiescence was retarded by The pins. of course.
Some of them had been picked out by the sur
