THE CONDUCTOR GOT LEFT.
Extraordinary Predfcament Which
Kept the Passengers Guessing.

Extraordinary Predfcament Which
Kept the Passengers Guessing.
From the New York World.
The Shore Line express from Boston for
New York had left Attleboro, Mass and
was twenty-five minutes late. Suddenly the
brakes were applied. Dodgeville the next
village, was almost reached when the train
stopped, and NEST Of the men jumped out
to discover the cause. None of them was
successful. The train began to back, and 1t
kept on backing; the Man Who Knows
Everything said:
KILLED somebody. Going back for the
body. Always do that" But the train still
kept on backing.
Must be jelly all over the track at this
rate. Must have struck him way back
The train still kept on backing BY this
time even the women were aching to get
out and hunt for reasons.
No; can't be that. 1 have it, said the
man. There's freight wreck on the
track and the engineer got the signal to
go back and take another route"
Finally Attleboro came in sight and the
train backed up to the station. Men drop
ped off the train and hunted up the nearest
railroad man. Who's killed?' Anybody
late?" they asked.
Say, what are you givin us?" asked the
railroad man. There amt no wreck. There
amt nobody killed.
Chorus-"What's up, them"
THE conductor got left" And when the
conductor appeared on his next trip
through the II ain he had to run the gaunt-
let of a whole trainful of highly amused
passengers. The brakeman explained that
this wasn't the first conductor who had
been left because the engineer had mis-
taken the motion of some platform lounger
for the conductors signal and pulled out
his train without its boss.

RELIGION OF THE ARMENIANs.
They Say Their Ancestors Were
Christians 1,SOO Years Ago.

Christians 1,SOO Years ago.
From the Congregationalist.
Armenians claim that their ancestors were
Christians before the end of the first GEN.
tury of our era. But their history points
back to Gregory, the illumination, prince
of the royal line of Armenian kings, as the
founder Of their national church He was
born A. D. 257, and, after many persecu-
tions, was consecrated in 300 as the head of
the Armenian Church. His successors took
the title of patriarch, later Of catholicos,
and are elected by the bishops. The Bible
was translated into Armenian about 431 A.
d. The Armenian Church was part of the
Greek Church till the year 491, when its
catholics soIemnly annulled in full synod
the DEGREES of the Council of Chelcedon.
Since that time it has been a church by it
self which fact has done much to perpetuate
the nationality in spite Of its people having
been absorbed into other nations.
In doctrine 1t differs but little from the
Greek and Roman churches. 1t has a
liturgy of it's own, which includes the Nicene
creed and prayers of the fathers used In the
Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches.
l: offers prayers for the dead, but does not
believe in purgatory nor allow indulgences.
1t has several orders of clergy, bishops,
priests and deacons. besides minor officers.
Priests must marry before they can be or
dained,~ but not after. The priesthood is
hereditary. the son assuming it on the death
Of his father. Baptism, which is by trine
immersion, is administered to infants as
well as adults, and the Lords supper is. .ad-
ministered to all baptized persons.
In the sixteenth century the Jesuits sac
ceeded in creating 4 schism in the church
and a new organization, called the Catholic
Armenians. This movement resulted in Sc
we're prosecutions by the Turkish govern
ment till in the middle Of the eighteenth
century, on petition of the catholicos Peter
the Great of Russia took the Armenian
