E. Howlsnd, singing evangelist, epirit-
ualiet, mind reader, and what not. is
among the missing. and his departure is
sincerely mourned by some of those
who became interested in him.
The history OF this man since his ad-
vent into this city about ak months ago
has been interesting enough to fill a
volume, and he has received more free
advertising and kept out OF Bile than
anyone who has been in the town for
long time. When he first made his APP
pearance he hired the G. A. r. hall and
started out as full Aedged singing
EVANGELIST, incidentally charging an sd-
mission fee of 10 cents Just to defray
expenses" IN this way he managed to
make good income in connection with
the money extracted from patrons for
fortune telling. etc.
In an evil moment, however, he made
an attack upon G. 5. Howard in one of
his meetings, and afterwards had him
(Howard) arrested for creating disturb
Rnce. The trial proved agenuine boom.
erang. Rowland was exposed and Mr..
Howard was dismissed.

IN MEMORY OF F. II. vALLETTE.
The following set OF resolutions were
passed the Charity Organization society
at meeting yesterday:
For the second time this year our
working force has been invaded by
death. We mourn the lose OF our
worthy vice-president, Mr.. Frank ii.
Vallette.
How great is that loss to our Charity
organization, who can better tell than
those who have seen him daily pouring
out his life and hiu abundance to the
sick, the unfortunate o. the needy? He
was ever ready and willing to bear more
than his share Of the burden. 1t was
his delight to minister to others in their
necessities. He was always a volunteer
in this aervice. Yet his giving was done
go quietly that his right hand did not
know what his left hand was doing.
Like the Master, he went about doing
good, but always with this injunction,
"see that thou teleat no one"
How the little ones who daily came to
his door and returned with full hands
and glad heart will miss him
Our society will mica his wise counsel
and his ready hand. and the commun-
ity will mics one OF It's truest and noblegt
citizens.
But the Greatest lose falle upon his
home and family, which he go loved and
honored. For them our hearts ache.
To them we give our unmeasnred sym-
pathy and com mend them to the Heav-
enly Father, whom he loved and trusted
arms he now reste.
