Pittsburg, Pa, March 5.-The most
novel expedients on record for the raising
of church funds have driven the sheriff
away from the Coreopolis Methodist
church, few miles below this city, and
caused him to take down his placard of
sale. One viva ious young belle of %,
Miss Fannie Sieoold, won wager by rid
ing spirited horse without q saddle,
clothes inc fashion, for the church fund.
The whole church community was ami
mated by the common purpose of keeping
the sheri I from the church door.
Miss Sietold beat them all, for though
she made the male portion of her hosts
family, in country household, remain
indoors while she strobe the bareback
horse. she only won her 80 cents for the
church by riding before men and women
who CHANGED along the road and mar
veled at what they saw.
Station Agent Samuel Marshall BACKED
boots, swept out pool room, wheeled M.

Mrs. Hamilton returned about $40 as
the result of her labors, and the total fund
raised is S%0S54; so the sheriff's sale has
