Mason. O.. July 3l.-For several
weeks an epidemic of bloOmers and
baseball has engulfed this ordinarily
quiet little town. A few days ago Miss
Coleman, who Is a leader and general
favorite among the society bellies Of
the town, appeared on a wheel in the
main streets. She wore boomers Of the
most pronounced type-r 1 In color and
trimmed gorgeously.
They were the first pair Of bloomers
the residents had ever seen, and the
whole town turned out to see Miss
Coleman ride. The fever spread and
Saturday at least ten young women ap-
peared In company. attired in different
coiored boomers. They rode to the
kite-shaped track, took several spins
and then went to the baseball game.
Rev. John Wordsworth, the pastor Of
the Methodist church, was at the game
and saw the young women, who are all
members of his congregation. He
thought they were very sensible and
applauded rather than chided them.
He iS a great baseball enthusiast.

When 7.S0 O'Clock arrived the church

murmurs Of 'Oh. my! how shocking! ="

There was no prayer meeting for the
congregation. They could not take
their eyes of Miss Colemans red
boomers. While the old people shook
their heads and sighed, and young ones

Soon many Of the old people COM

soon followed. The meeting was ended
abruptly. and sort Of gloom settled
down over the members. with the ex-

breaches TO EMPTY CHAIRS
Pastor HOstettcr in Disfavor and Ills

FLOCK IScSCttS Ittm.
Canton. o., July 1.-Petersburg,
suburb of Canton, bears the unique dis
tinction Of having church service reg
ularly held Sunday mornings and even
ings. by a pastor who has a flock of
only empty chairs, but who discourses
to them eloquently. 1t. is the German
Reformed Baptist church, and its min
lister Is Rev. Mr.. Hostetter. Several
years ago the pastor made the startling
announcement to his then large con-
gregation that in a vision from heaven
he had been warned Of the near ap-
proach of the end Of the world.
His reiteration Of this dream found
such disfavor with his flock that grad
ually they dropped Off, until for the
past two Sundays he has preached to
empty benches. He observed the Gus
tomary church formula, and the va
cancy by the absence of church choir
is fully filed by his own melodious
tones.
