 Question Of Incense Earning.
 Two subjects are at present grea;ss eI- errising the minds of many clergynen of the Church Of England--one is the startling falling off in their incomes ow- ing to the long continued and increasing agricultural depression. and the other is the use of incense in churches. The lat ter Is always a prominent topic of cler- teal discussion about Christmas time, but this year it seems to create more in- terest than usual. owing to the growing prevalence Of tbe practice.
 There are now so many servers. acc. lytes and other altar assistants engaged in lighting and swinging thnrifers in the churches of England that they seriously propose to form themselves into a guild or society for the promotion of incense burning.

She Died Win the Cat.

Mrs. Allie Spencer of Saltwater was found dead in her house there recently. It was at first supposed to be a case of suicide. but later developments showed that it was the result of strange acci- dent Mrs. Spencer had said she intend ed to chloroform an old house cat. The cat was found lying dead in box. which also held large sponge. The strong odor of chloroform in the room told the rest of the sad story. Mrs. Spencer, while chloroforming the cat, must have been overcome by tho funes of the vola- tile drug, and having chronic heart trouble had expired there alone. Lewis son Journal

A Stage Held Up and Maid Carried On
 by Good Looking Had Man.
 A romantic case of kidnapping occurred the other day in the country back of Mazatlan. The stage between Rosario and Mazatlan. which left the former place, stopped at 1 a. III. the next day tt Agua Caliente. where another passenger, young and pretty girl. was taken on She was Carlotta Newman, daughter of poor blind woman living at Mazatlan. There were two other passengers, man and a woman.
 The stage left Agua Caliente at Pa. m. and had gone only couple of leagues when the driver suddenly refined up at a call from the roadside, where four men on horseback sat coolly pointing re- volvers at his head. There was no de- mand for coin, and from the quiet man. ner of the highwaymen the driver could draw DO idea of the nature of their de- mands. While one man held gun pointed at the driver and another at. tended the horses the others dismounted, stepped to the end of the coach and courteously requested the young lady to coue out The girl recognized the larger man. a magnificent looking fellow, as Jose Valdez. her rejected lover. and di- yining the plot she begged the passengers Co save her. Valdez warned them to do nothing. and as they had no firearms they dared not protest against the ac- tions of the bold robbers.
 After urging Miss Newman to come out without avail, Valdez and his com panion laid hold of her and carried her to the horses. placing her upon enc and tying her to the saddle. The girls shriehs and tears had no effect either in hurryihg the men or arousing their anger. When they were again mounted and ready to leave, Valdez turned to the driver and said calmly Go, friend, and excuse me for molestiBg you"
 The driver lost no time in accepting he permission, and the agitated passen- gers inside did not breathe easily until they saw the party, with the girl in the center. gallop over hill The driver and passengers reported the matter on arriving at Mazatlan and gave the names uf Librado and Bernardo Valdez and Rulino Zatarain as the acconpIices of Jose Valdez, the first two being his cousins.

He was rejected by Miss Newman, who is highly respected girl of American birth The Brpfect of inc district ef Concordia, in which Agua Ca lieute is situated. has charge of party of rurales searching for Valdez. and strong efforts are being made to capture the villain.

New York, Dec. 4.--The course of prices
at the Stock exchange today was very ir-
regular but an undertone Of strength
was noted. At the opening there were
moderately heavy sales of the Changers,
the result of the poor statement of the ST.
Paul and Rock Island for November. ST.
Paul fell l5s Burlington Is, Rock Island
y and Northwest rs. The decline led 20
purchases TO cover short sales and the
early loss was more than recovered, ex-
cept in the case of st. Paul and North
west, which rallied to 58h and 1914 re-
sDectively After the Changers, the IN
dustrials were most prominent in the
dealings. Sugar dropped to S2s4 and later
advanced gradually to Sj$4. Chicago Gas
gave every evidence of covering by an
important short interests. The general list
after the opening weakness, improved and
closed strong. Total sales, 49,, ,OCO shares.
