PAINTED AT THE ALTAR.



The parishoners of st. Paurs R. c.
Church, Greenville, who attended the
half past eight o'clock mass yesterday
were shocked by an event which put an
abrupt end to the services The Rev.
Father Schandel was saying the mass
when his voice began to grow weak, and
the worshippers in the front pew could
no longer hear him. His, face became
as white as chalk. and before any of the
Pensioners realized that he had sudden
ly became i'll the Pastor fell 70 the floor
unconscious.
AS he tottered and fell back upon the
altar steps, a dozen women screamed,
and three of them tainted. Had it not
been for the prompt action of al few
cool headed gentlemen there would have
been a panic. AS soon as Father Schan-.
del fell, a dozen men rushed to his side
and messenger was despatched for DR..
Finn Father Sehandel was taken to
the parish house. The Rev. Father Reil-
ly dismissed the congregation, and an
nounced that he would conduct the
other masses of the day. When Dr. Finn
arrived at the parish house, Father
schandel had recovered. but he was still
very weak. The doctor said that Father
schandel was suffering from nervous
exbaustion and would have to take a
long rest Father schandel had Just re-
covered from a severe attack of illness,
brought on by overwork, and it is feared
that the relapse may result seriously.
DR.. Finn says that there is no doubt
of the Pastors recovery, providing, of
course, he secures the necessary rest.

Does Anyone Wish to Accept an Agency
and Advance Money on Its
A very smooth young man, who gave
the name of Sells (and who would appear
to be appropriately named), attempted to
work number of business houses in
this city yesterday.
Going to George Wissemann, he in
formed him that he was connected with
the Pabst Brewing Company of Mil
waukee, and wished an advance of a
little coin. Wissemann told him to go
with him to the telegraph office and he
would find out if it was all right, and il
SO would let him have what he needed.
The fellow, however. made some excuse
for not going, and left.
Shortly afterward he dropped in OH
George b. Cosby, Jr., in a friendly way
and informed him that he was an agent
for the Pabst Company, and that they
wished to establish a new agency here.
He promised to send Cosby a barrel OF
beer as sample, and wished him to
handle it here. He then tried to borrow
s. 80, but without success.
He then inquired the address of James
Young, night clerk of the Capital Hotel,
and going to the laJter's house insisted on
seeing Mr.. Young, who was asleep. The
visitor said he had important business oI
great moment to Mr.. Young. and could
not wait until he awoke. When he had
fairly forced his way in to Young's
room he struck him for So 80, which he
did not receive, but got instead tongue
lashing which made his ears tingle.
AS he has been making inquiries about
various citizens, some of them will prob
ably see him to-day.
He is described as tall and rather
good-looking young man.

SOD HOUSES IN THE WEST
Few of These Primitive Habitations
Now Left in the Land,

Few of These Primitive Habitations
Now Left in the Land.
''The sod house of the Kansas and Ne
braska plains is following the buffalo and
antelope into the land of legends" said
William f. Arbuckle of Topeka to a writer
for the Washington Post. "A good many
of the queer structures are still standing,
and in some instances are used as human
habitations, but most of them are used
as stables for horses or cattle and slowly
crumbling away to become indlStinguish-
able in their original earth. When L first
went West, years ago, my father took up
the acres as lar as the eye could reach in
what is now eastern Nebraska, There
was not tree in sight of the knoll he had
selected as the spot upon which his resi-
dence should be e1 ected, and the nearest
place lumber could be secured was sixty
miles away. He put up small tent in
which to cook and eat; the family slept
in the wagons, and with my brothers and
hired man to help, set about making a
house.
1.-The thick sod was cut from the prairie
in slabs about two feet wide by three in
length, and on the side of the knoll,
where an excavation had been made in
its side, these slabs were placed one on
top of the other until the required
hight was reached. 1t was arduous
work, and remember what a
lot of excitement there was when
my father and my brother Lem started off
early one morning to go after the ridge
pole and rafters that were to support the
roof They took only the running gear
of our small wagon, and l cried like a
good fellow when they started off because
thought they had broken up my vehicle.
They were gone nearly week and
reached home in the middle of one night
after their journey of l20 miles. They
had brought long, round piece of tim
Der, like a slender telegraph pole. with
numerous other small pieces, and my
mother nearly had tit of delight when
they proudly displayed a door ano two
window sashes, with a bundle of glass
for the latter.
There was great rejoicing when that
ridge pole was put in place and the raiters
run down from it to rest on the sod walls.
and then came the laborous task of put
ting on the sod roof so that it would keen
out the rain and snow. At last it was
completed and we moved in. The house
had four rooms, which was unusual ior
such structures, and its two windows
soon made it known all over that section
of the West as the Shack With the Glass
Eyes There never was more comfort
able building erected than sod house.
They are not at all damp. as one would
suppose, and are as warm as you could
desire in winter, while in summer they
are the most delightfully."- cool places
Imaginable. But they are rapidly disap-
pearing now and when you see one you
are sure to find near it modern cottage
with its windmill, just as you do at our
place."

TRAVEL ON THE CONGO ROAD.
The New African Line Thus Far Cut
Out of Solid Rock.

The New African Line Thus Far Cut
Out of Solid Rock.
The Congo Railroad has just opened for
business so far as it has been completed,
says the New ork Sun. 1t has arrived
at the dignity of a time table and
schedules Of passenger and freight traffic.
What the road lacks in length 1t makes
up in charges. 1t costs any body who mas
a social position 10 maintain $40 TO travel
twenty-five miles. This is the first-class
rate, and the drop from first to second
class is precipitous and abysmal.
The only accom- rotations Cor second
class passengers are such as they can find
in the freight cars, but they can afford 10
stand up ii need be, for they are required
TO disburse only 81 for transportation that
costs the unfortunate few ten times as
much.
Modern improvements in train man
agement are a feature OF the new African
railroad The fact that only one train
day starts from each terminus reduces to
a minimum the danger Of a rear-end col
lision; but as the Congo Railroad differs
from our trunk lines in having only a
single track, it is not eXpedient for trains
to attempt to pass one another between
stations. The four stopping places along
the line have therefore been connected by
telephone, and conductors are under
sured by telephone that they will have
full monopoly of the track to the station
ahead.
When the line is completed TO Stanley
Pool there will be fine opportunity for
tourists of the adventureSome sort to
catch glimpse Of the lower Congo VAL
ley and return 10 the sea breeZes III few
days. 1t is 10 be expected that the pro-
gress of civilization will have a tendency
to reduce the price of first-class tickets.
The company, however, has q monopoly
OF railroad building for many years to
come, and will be likely to charge all the
traffic will bear, without any fear that
competitive routes or ticket scalpers will
demoraliZe rates. Of course the needs OF
commerce and the pressure that the Congo
Free State may exert will soon have
tendency 10 place all charges on rea-
sonable basis. The road is completed to
Nkenge, twenty-five miles from its start
ing point at Matadi. 1t is now fairly on
the plateau behind the hills that overlook
the foaming cataracts of the river.
The road thus far has been hewn out of
the toughest rock, skirting first the Congo
and then zigzagging up the Mposi River
Valley, where number of costly bridges
were thrown over the troublesome
stream. Nearly ali the difficulties Of the
entire route have now been conquered
and rapid progress may be made to Stan
ley Pool. where steamers from far and
near will bring freight to the cars. Facts
are stubborn things, and this railroad
must astonish the small army of writers
who affirmed few years ago that white
men could accomplish nothing in the
trying climate OF the Congo Valley.

California Lodge Gives Its Second
Annual Ball.
Largest Attendance Ever Seen in Tur-

California Lodge, No. 260. Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen, gave its second
annual ball last night at Turner's Hall,
which was said by members of Jones,
Fisch & Watson's Orchestra, whose en-
livening strains put life into the dancers,
to have been the largest party they had
ever played for in that hall.
Nearly $50 couples took part in the
grand march. The programmes, which
were in the shape of a bell, were very
handsome and costly, and the 800 pro-
vided for the occasion melted away like
snow upon summers day.
The hall was handsomely and appro-
priately decorated, chandeliers being
formed by signal lanterns of different
colors, trimmed with ivy and smilax in
unique style.
Signal flags and lanterns tastefully ar
ranged on the sides and end of the hall,
with pennants and streamers, made the
main features of the decoration, while in
the gallery two locomotive headlights
shed their radiance on the scene. over
