MUSTARD PLASTER STORY.

Carrie Lane Chapman Gait Tells of a
sleeping Car Experience
In her speech AT the suffrage meeting
at Hamilton hall last night Mrs Carrie
Lane Chapman Gait told one story which
shows that women can tell sleeping car
stories the same men, She said she
one night get into sleeping car, and
among the passengers was old man
and an old lady. When bedtime. came
the old man got nervous and the old
lady tried to quiet him. He finally in
sisted that nothing would stop the pain
in his back but mustard plaster. The
old lady at last told him to be still and
she would get him the mustard plaster.
She then turned him over in the upper
berth with his back to the aisle, careful
ly arranging his shirt so that the plaster
could be put IN place.
While all this was being done the old
man became still and by the time the old
lady got out in the aisle her hus band was
asleep That she might make no mistake
she pinned a piece OF white paper on the
curtain by her berth as she went away to
prepare the mustard plaster. There was
a bold bad travelling man in the car and
as soon as the old lady WAS out of sight
he carefully unpinned the piece of white
paper and as carefully pinned it on the
curtains of an adjoining berth. Then the
old lady came back and stopped at the
berth where the paper marked the cur
tains.
The mustard plaster was held carefully
in one hand while with the other she
pulled aside the curtain, exposing a man )
| back turned towards the aisle A sharp
| Sian and the mustard plaster was in
place. The old lady retired to the other
end of the car, the old man slept on and
the man with the mustard plaster made
no sound for a while. but the silence was
/ short for he suddenly reused up and
! Jumped out in the aisle; with his suspen-
ders flying he rushed mp and down the
car shouting PORTER, Porter, this car is
on fire."
/ Mrs Gait said this was what the
suffrage agitation was doing for the poll
/ ticians Of this country. 1t is making
them think their party is on fire.

March Instanter.
DR.. J. H. McCasey, superintendent Of
the state insane asylum, yesterday dis
charged or attempted to discharge an at
tendant because the attendant would not
give him Sunday shave.
Attendant Flint had until a few days
ago, charge Of ward d l.
Last week he gave up his regular job
at the asylum and became a private at
tendant at q salary Of $25 month, his
duties being to care for a man by the
name of Jackson, whose brother is pay
ing for his care.
II is customary at the asylum for the
attendants to shave the patients in their
ward and lately DR.. McCasey and some
of the other officers of the institution,
have been saving their dimes BY having
the attendants shave them instead OF
patronizing the down town barber shops
Sunday DR.. McCasey and DR.. Cloud
went to Attendant Flint and asked him
to shave them Flint refused, saying
that it was not his business and that any
way he was not on duty. The two doc
tors did not like this a. Topeka barber
shops are closed on Sunday and they
could not get their boards clipped
Monday DR. McCasey called Attendant
Flint into his office and told him be could
consider himself discharged Mr.. Flint
said he was not working for McCasey
and refused to be discharged He says
the $50 a month for taking care Of Jack
SON, the private patient, is good enough
for him.

SHALL 1T BREAK UP?
The Ministerial Union May Cease
Its Sessions.
NATTER NOW UNDER CONSIDERATION

"A Committee Appointed on the GOOD
of the Order.
The question az to whether the organ
ization known as the Topeka Ministerial
union is to be continued is being serious
~ considered by the Topeka ministers
just now.
At the regular meeting of the Minis
terial union n the Y. NJ. c. A parlors
yesterday Rev. M. F. McKirahan, who
presided in the absence from the city of
the new president, Rev. Stewart Sheldon,
suggested that it would be a proper
thing in his opinion for a committee to
be appointed on the good Of the order"
Mr. McKirahan said for some reason
there is not the interest in the union
there should be and committee should
be appointed to see what's wrong.
Rev. J. B. Thomas said he thought so,
too, and said that instead of having a
mere handful at the M lettings as Is now
the case the union Ough to be attended
by forty or fifty preachers as was the
case a few years ago. Mr.. Thomas said
the meetings of the union ought to be of
such a nature that it would be restful
hour for every city pastor
Rev. r. Wake said he thought the rea-
son the union did not keep up was be-
cause there was difference Of opinion
among the mem bers as to the object Of
:
was for q rest, but he thought the organ
ization was working organization and
its object was to do something along the
line of supporting public morals and ad-
vocating questions of public good
The union finally appointed commit
tee, consisting of Rev. G. M. Sheldon
and Rev. E. s. Ferrand, to make an in
vestigation, by consulting all the preach
ers IN the city and asking them their
opinion as to how the meetings of the
union be made the most interesting
and beneficial
The committee on membership reported
favorably on the name Of Rev. Z r Bill
Kingsley and he was made a, member of
the union.
Rev R Wake reported some resolu-
tions Of respect for Major Sully, of the
Salvation Army, whose connection with
the union was severed by his removing to
Kansas City.
The literary subject for the meet
ing was Martin Luther, and a paper was
read by Rev. F. n Porch, who attended
the meeting of the union for the last
time.
In respect for Rev Mr.. Porch the union
adopted the following:
sSince our brother, Rev f. II. Porch,
has chosen to transfer his ministerial la
b0rs from this city to anoth er, where by
he sewers his connection with this union.

Under the leave to print, Mr. PigRett
for he was the congressman with the
