Electrio Freak In a church.

Recently there was an eclipse of the
electric light at Elm Road Baptist
chapel, Southsea, and, curiously enough,
the pastor had chosen for his texts,
Proverbs lxxiv. 90, 1.-The candle of the
wicked shall be put out, +" and Psalm
xvii, rs, ''For thou wilt light my can
die; the Lord my God will enlighten
my darkness, " combination rather
cruel to the electric light, for when the
lights went out some of the congrega-
tion went ont also and obtained can
dies and lamps, whereupon service pro-
ceeded. The pastor could not conven-
iently change his texts in consequence
of what had happened, and he may have
been prepared for the general litter
which followed their announcement
Lately a somewhat similar case occurred
in an American church, and the amuse-
ment was heightened by the action OF a
deacon who absentmindedly lighted a
match and applied it to one of the cleo.

Useful Parrots.

1t has hitherto been customary to frlt-
ter away the intellectual force of par
rots by merely teaching them to say
Pretty Poll" and things of that sort,
but the municipal authorities of a
French town have instituted what it is
to be hoped will become general re.
form.
The poor box at the town hall, it
seems, had for a long time been in a
condition discreditable to the more pros
porous of the inhabitants. To remind
them of their duty toward their poorer
neighbors parrot was purchased, which
was installed close to the box and train
ed to cry, ''For the poor. if you please
The result, it appears, has been high
ly satisfactory, pence and silver coin
having been freely given in response to
the birds appeal.
The idea is capable of being applied
in variety of ways. Parrots might be
used, for example. to warn passersby of
the proximity of wet paint on fences or
shop fronts, or to remind people on en-
tering house TO wipe their feet.
In fact, parrots might be made really
useful members of society. -Y Youths

MYsTIFIED AUTHORS.
Father Prout Made 1t His Business to Hoax

Father Prout Made II His business to Hoax
Notable Characters.
Authors have often nystiiied the pub
lie. but man who made a business Of
mystifying professional writer's is a not
able character. Such one, however,
was the Rev. Francis Mahony. better
known as Father Prout His. fayorits
trick was to take well known and pop
ular poem, translate it into anosher Ian
guage, boldly assert that in its new
form it possessed great antiquity and
charge the author with having stolen it.
This trick he played on more than one
noted author during the early days of
the present century, and each was sorely
puzzled to explain the identity OF the
poem which he knew to be his own with
that in a foreign language.
Prout translated Moore's ''Go Where
GLORY Waits Thee" into excellent
French verse, attributed it TO Nine. La
Comtesse de Chateaubriand and charged
Moore with having stolen it bodily. The
song "Lesbia Hath a Beaming Eye, ;"
he rendered into choice Latin and
claimed it as youthful production of
his own, which he had once shown TO
Moore. Another of Prout's achievements
was the translation of Wolfe's Burial
of Sir John Moore into French, claim
ing. at the same time, that the lines
were written by Colonel de Beaumanois,
who was killed at Pondicherry in l549.
Not satisfied with this, be proceeded
further and translated the lines into
German verse and stoutly declared that.
while Wolfe had stolen from the French
poet, the latter had in turn pilfered
from the German, the latter poem hav-
ing, as he stated, been written to COM
memorate the death and burial OF the
Swedish General Toistenson, who was
killed at the siege of Dantzic. Poor
Wolfe was dumfounded at seeing his
popularity disappear and was not much
comforted when the hoax was discov-

DAVIS ON THE JUDICIARY
YOUNG REPUBLICANS ACTIVE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. - The
members of the Republican caucus
committee of the senate have been
engaged in conferences with other
members of the senate today in an
effort to assure themselves that the
assignments of committee chairman
ships which they have made will
shall be presented to the caucus.
The committee has practically COM
pleted this branch of its work and
the members feel, after conferring
with their colleagues, that the allot-
ments they have made will be ac-
ceptable to the Republican senator's.
They have had considerable difficulty
in finding suitable and acceptable
Craftsmanship for Senator Shoup, but
have now solved the problem by as
signing him to the committee on ed
ucation and labor, of which Sena-
tor Kyle, a Populist, is chairman.
This will permit the arrangement
heretofore made placing Senator CAL
linger at the head of the pensions
committee. It is quite definitely set
tied that Senator Platt shall head
the committee on patents and Sena-
tor Burrows on revision of the laws.
The committee will devote the rest
Of the week to the consideration of
the makeup of the bodies of the
committees, and hope now to be
able 10 report to the full caucus by
Monday. Considerable work in this
line has already been accomplished,
and it may be stated that the full
majority representation on three of
the four principal committees shall
be decided upon. This places Sem
ators Davis and Thurston on Judi
ciary; Cameron and Lodge on for
eign relations; Platt and Wolcott on
finance.
The younger element of the Repub-
lican senator's are now pressing upon
their colleagues the Importance of
organization of the senate before
the Christmas holidays, for the ef-
feet which they argue the prompt
action will have on the country.
They began their crusade today, and
are of the opinion that the caucus
committee is sufficiently convinced
hasten matters as much as possible.
Some of the older senators are in
clined to think that this plan would
involve unseemly haste and may an
taSOniZe the movement.

THE END.

AT that time DR.. Whitaker found hi$
venerable patient almost unconscious.
Mucus had filed the bronchial tubes
and his breathing was labored. DIR.
Whitaker reused him sufficiently to-
ask him if he was thirsty, and Judge
Thurman nodded his head in assent.
DR.. Whitaker gave little stimulant in
water, which he swallowed with diff
ficulty. He seemed, however, to be
partially conscious of what he was
doing. He then sank into a heavy
stupor, from which he was never
aroused. 1t was known at a. m. to-
day that the beginning of the end had
set in and the family was notified. At
10 o'clock this morning DR.. Whitaker
found the patient gradually sinking.
He gave him stimulant, which was
swallowed mechanically. Judge Thur
man was perfectly unconscious and re-
manned until he passed away at lis
p. m. At the final scene all of the
family was at his bedside. He seemed
to be free from all distress, and during
the morning hours all that the sorrow
ing family could do was to moiSten his
parched lips at intervals. Those pres
ent at the death scene were Mr.. and

lowing grand children: Lee, Miss Cath-
crime, Allen c., Jr., Daniel c, and

WHOLESALE JOBBING HOUSE OF
HENRY STERNBERG SUFFERS
DAMAGE.
GENERAL ALARM TURNED IN,
CALLING THE FIRE DEPART
MENT PROMPTLY TO THE
SCENE.
FLAMES THREATEN TO SPREAD,
But Are Soon Brought Under Con-
trOI-SaIvage Corps Does
Good Work.

At o'clock this morning fire broke
out in the building occupied by Hen
ry S. Sternberg as a jobbing, dry
goods and clothing house, adjoining
the building occupied by Guiterman
Bros, formerly occupied by Noyes
Bros. & Cutler. at Fifth and Sibley
streets, and resulted in considerable
damage to the building and greater
damage to its contents.
An alarm was sent in from Box
"a, and the fire department was
quick in responding, but not so
swift in getting to work. Things
seemed to work awkwardly, and it
was several minutes after a line of
hose was carried to the top story
of the Guiterman building before
firemen were ready for the water.
In the meantime the fire had made
rapid progress and had burst out
in bright glare on the roof, spread
ing rapidly to the roof of the Gutter
man building and that of the one ad-
joining the burning structure on the
other side, which is occupied by
Price & Robbins wholesale paper
house.
After water was once turned on,
however, the fire department did
good work, and the chances seemed
to be about even for preventing the
fire from spreading much more. The
whole upper floor of the building in
which the fire originated was seri-
ously injured, and the fire communi-
Gated to the next floor below, SO that
the damage from water, in addition
to that caused by the fire direct,
will be large, anyhow.
ITS DISCOVERY.
Officer Mccormick discovered the
reflection of the blaze in the alley
on the rear walls of the burning
building. He turned in at Las a. m.
a still alarm from Engine House No.
II, on Rosabel street. Hurrying to
Sibley street he met Officer Perro,
who had also caught sight of the de-
veloping blaze at about the same mo-
ment. Together the officers rung the
regular alarm from Box "a, at Fourth
and Sibley street, eight minutes be-
fore 2 o'clock. Eleven minutes later
Chief Jackson, ascertaining the
threatening location of the fire, sent
in Ali alarm.
Each alarm called out four engines
and both alarms brought two-thirds of
the city's apparatus.
Both the Guiterman building and the
smaller Sternberg building belong to
John Wann. Only the lower story of
the latter building was occupied by Mr..
Sternberg, the three upper stories be-
ing devoted to the manufacturing de-
partment of Guitermann Brothers.
The loss by fire will be confined al
most entirely to the fourth story, but
water has doubtless caused extensive
damage to Guiterman's stock in the
same building. Sternberg's stock was
promptly protected by the salvage
corps and will suffer little harm.
By 2:30 the blaze was under good con-
troll. Chief Jackson, however, dis
played excellent judgment in using as
little water as possible, and all need
less loss was thus avoided.

Red-Handed Turks and kurds
Pouring Into ConstantfnOp1e.
LONDON, Dec. 12.-The Daily News
will tomorrow publish a dispatch from
Constantinople which says:
For days past Turks and Kurds
have been pouring into the city from
the devastated portions of Asia Minor
Their primary object is the disposal
of the loot which they have obtained
during the maSSacreS. They are also
hopeful of richer harvest in the event
of the sultan permitting a rising az
Stamboul. Their stories, coupled with
the display of plunder, have inflamed
the lowest class Of Moslems with an
aching desire to attack the, bazaars.
They are ready to seize upon the slight
est provocation for an attack. 1t is
unwholesomely Significant of the con-
junction of this state of affairs that
the government is seiZing and deport-
ing daily numbers of Armenians of the
poorest but most robust class. The
news from the interior increases in
horror with every mail. In places
within a short distance massacre and
pilllage are still of daily occurrence,
and everywhere destitute Armenians
are flocking- into the large towns,
where there is no means of feeding
them. No news has been received yet
from Zeitoun, and none is expected
until all the ZeitouniteS have been
killed. The district swarms with Ba-
shi-Bazouks, and every road and bri-
die path is guarded with troops.
