Played Craps in Church.
From the st. Louis Globe-Dcmocrat.


JEFFERsoNvILLE, Ind, Jan. AT a re-
vival meeting in progress at the United Breth-
ern Church an unusual occurrence took place
last night. resulting in George Perry being
bodily elected by courageous pastor, tn e
Rev. A. NJ. Colvir. No sooner had Perry
entered the edifce than he walked up the
centre aisle and seated himself in the midst Of
the congregation, where he began game Of
craps with an occupant Of the pew. During
his discourse the pastors attention was at
traeted incidentally by the swapping of fingers.
and il was with difficulty that he could locate
the sound. Soon his eyes centred on Perry
and his companion.
Without further ceremony the reverend gen
tleman walked out of the pulpit to where
Perry was seated. He demanded the dice
and stakes which were surrendered. The
pastor then proceeded TO put Perry ont. He
demonstrated, but Mr. Colyin whipped out
knife as a persuader. The sight of the weap-
on caused Perry to submit. Perry was not
only taken to the threshold of the church, but
the determined pastor held TO his man until
he was landed in jail and charge of disturb
ing a religious meeting slated against him.
Perry's partner escaped

One Of the creates, strokes Of journalistic
enterprise ever undertaken in America, is the
Chicago Herald's fast train from Chicago 10
Atlanta, bearing the Exposition edition ofthe
paper. with full crops Of reporters and Chicago
newshoys in charge Of Mr. John J. Finn, the
special correspondent who prepared the
edition, and Mr. Robert Ansley the business
manager Of the Herald.
The train left Chicago at a. m. Saturday,
the 29th Of December, and reached Atlanta
the same evening, making the trip in sixteen
hours-an average Of over fifty miles an hour
Never before has a morning paper travelled
500 miles before nightfall This marks new
era in journalism and forms new bond Cf
friendship between the great West and the
growing South. The Herald article on the
Exposition, Atlanta and the Piedmont region,
covered ive pages and was profusely and
beautifully illustrated. The article Is equal
to a twelve months volume of the average size
and contains much valuable information about
the Exposition. Atlanta and the South.

Novel Feature of the Baltimore Cen
tennial Exposition.

The Baltimore Centennial Exposition, as
has been said before in the ADVOCATE, is to
lie one of the greatest expositions ever held
in this country, and it will lie the only one in
which the farmer has direct interest.
In addition to the general exhibit Of agri-
cultural machinery, it is proposed to have a
model plantation farm of some sixty or seventy
acres upon which will be seen growing all the
products of Southern soils, including sugar,
cotton, tobacco cereals, grasses, vegetables,
fruits and flowers, as an object lesson to our
farmers, that they may know how these same
crops should be cultivated and grown 10 the
best advantage.
In addition to this it is intended to have
upon the farm model residence, and also a
barn. the latter in combination with provisions
for horses, mules and cows, together with
compartments for wagons, carriages, etc, the
idea being to have place for each, as well as
for grain and hay.
Besides this it is designed to have the best
and most modern plans for hog pens, chicken
houses, sheep sheds, sheds for machinery and
implements, that the farmers may learn how
to house and protect both their animals,
machinery, implements aud products.
It's proposed to show one piece of each
and every labor-saving agricultural machine
and implement used upon either plantation
or farm for the crops referred to; and further
10 show the crops growing. and also to show
upon the farm itself the process of preparing
and manufacturing the same for market nse
and consumption that viii he another most
attractive and instructive feature heretofore
unknown to the actual producers and to many
manufacturers as 10 the mode Of production.

Of the Governors of the State of New York,
two have been presidents of the United States;
eight have been prominent candidates for the
presidency; four have been vice-presidents;
one chief justice of the United States; four
have been cabinent officers; ten have been
United States Senators, and eleven have been
members of Congress. This shows that the
executive position of the Empire State leads
to prominence in national public life.

Reports show little railroad building being
done in the country. The fact is that for
some time past this character of contract
work has been dull. Besides, business condi-
lions have not been at their best and have not
been such as to warrant much car and loco
motive building. A recent issue of the Rail
road Gazette announces that there was a great
falling of in the output of locomotives during
1894 Reports from thirteen companies make
the total ea5 locomotives for 1894, against
2OlI built in 1893 No one manufacture
built half as many in 1894 as in 1895. The
figures are unprecedented in locomotive build
ing in this country. The car builders have
still greater reason to complain. In this in
dustry there was a decrease in the output Of
"a. zoo cars in 1894 and $1,000 cars in 1--WE
years. The Record remarks; That the de-
mand in 1894 was decreased by the fact that
much Of the railroad equipment was built IN
anticipation Of the Worlds Fair year. The
future is hopeful. because. when things are
IN bad condition with liability against becom-
ing worse, thev mend. The railroads, with
iewexceptions. are in good financial condition.
with business to maintain them Locomotives
win not last indefinitely and worn out cars
cannot always be used Though the loeomo-
tive and car works throughout the United
States have shown decrease Of business the
outlook for the future is good.

the unusual activity of the past week.
There was fair amount of business do

satisfactory trade. The wholesale depart

country; the cotton market was steady,
with a fair demand at the current prices.
Spirits turpentine was in fair demand, but

There is common superstition among
western cowboys that a rattlesnake will
not cross hair rope" said Superintend-
ent Brown of the Philadelphia Geological
Garden the other day to the Record. This
cowboy doesn't mind rattIesnake much,
anyhow, but when he has to spend tha
night in the open he frequently takes the
precaution of encircling his camp with a
rope of this description and then goes
TO sleep with quiet mind often won-
dererd whether there was any truth in this
belief, but never happened to have
hair rope and a rattlesnake handy to
test it, until one day a friend of mns
came from the west and we began talking
on the subject. He had a hair rope with
MN ana we decided to try it on the snakes
IN the reptile house We shut the building
up made a circle with the rope on the
floor, and put seven different species OF
snakes inside of the rope circle. Every
single one crawled over 1t as If it wasn't
there, and since then my friend has lost
faitn IN its protective powers" An old
campaigner says to a reporter for tho
lnter-Ocean that this was a poor test. a
hair lariat must be made purposely for
TINS use, and the sharp projections of the
butts OF the hair must be made prominent.
A hair lariat can be and is made as smooth
as any other lariat They are strong, but
useless as protector from snakes. 1 have
used one in places where snakes were
SO thick that half dozen could be run
from under a single bush, and never knew
one TO crawl over or inside my bed
