THE HEBOWNiNI7ESW WIy
Evangelical Church Must be Va
Gated by the Present
Congregation.
THE ENDALONG STRUGGLE.
JUDGE WEIDMAN DECIDES THE CASE
INFAVOR OF THE BOWMANITES AND
GIVES THEM THE PROPERTY.
The Congregation Will Re-Organize and
Secure Quarters for Worship Else
where Until it Can Build an
Edifice of It's Own.

Judge Weidman today handed down at
Pottsville decision granting to the
Evangelical Association of Pennsylvania
a permanent injunction against the con.
gregation of the Ebenezer Evangelical
church of town. The injunction restrains
the congregation from occupying the
church, or using any of the property
connected with il, and from collecting
any rents for the property, or exercising
any control whatever over it.
Several months ago the Bowman and
Esher factions of the Evangelical Asso
citation won case of a similar character
against the adherents of Bishop Dubs at
Reading and took possession of the
property under decision of the Supreme
Court. Under that decision the Associa.
tion made demand for the church and
property here, but being refused posses.
sion, applied to the county court for a
permanent injunction. The congregation
continued worshiping in the church pend.
ing the decision.
Prominent memb bers of the church re
ceived the news of the result from HER.
AID reporter at noon today with marked
emotion. One of them said ut is no
doubt right, legally, but is a great moral
wrong"
The fight of which this decision is the
sequel originated in 1891 with charges
against Bishop Dubs and counter charges
against Bishops Bowman and Esher. The
friends of the former say he opposed
vesting the bishops with exclusive power
and maintained that the layman should
have a voice. 1t is also claimed that the
followers of Dubs number about 10000
in this state, while Bowman has but
about 10000 The congregation here is
said to be unanimously in favor of
Bishop Dubs.
One gentleman prominently identified
with the congregation said today that
when the church was started it's property
was decided to the conference and that is
the point on which the decision was rem
dered The Bowmanites and Esherites,
although vastly in the minority numer-
ically, hold the conference, and conse
quenrly the deed. The property is worth
about $4,000, but much more has been
spent on it in the way of repairs and i'm.
provements. 1t is not likely that an ap
peal will be taken from the decision. The
will undou 5tedly re organize
as ''The United Evangelical Association
Of Shenandoah" and seek quarters ia
some hall for worship until it can erect |
another edifice. Whether it will worship |
IN the old homestead next Sunday will |
depend upon developments of the week.

Brennan'S BatterS Won in an EXhibi-
tiOn Game at Freeland Yesterday.
In an exciting exhibition contest yes
terday the Shenandoah State League
club defeated Freeland on the Iatter's
grounds. The professionals were badly
ratified up to the eighth inning, and were
behind in the score. In that inning
Pfrom went 10 pieces and IA runs were
scored by the visitors before being retired
Pfrom is an amateur pitcher, but showed
remarkable skill in handling the ball
striking out nine men. In the eighth
inning, with Shenandoah at the bat and
two men out, the score stood 10 to in
favor of the locals. At this juncture
Pfrom became ratified over a decision OF
the umpire, and sent seven men to bases
on balls, forcing in six runs. He was
then relieved by Breslin, but the lead
thus obtained gave the visitors start,
and, before being retired, eight more runs
were piled up. Breslin's fielding and
Warmers work behind the bat were the
features of the game Score,

went to the ground, rolling some distance
away. Shaub, Westlake and Moran
scored before the ball could be fielded to
the home plate. Rothermel scored on
McNey's hit and the latter reached home
on hits by Donovan and Shields. This
ended the scoring, however, as Mccartney
went out on II fly to Sewers and Shaub
was retired by Merriman's S throw to first.
In the eighth inning both sides were
retired in one, two, three order. MoCoach
went out on fly to Westlake, Ford on
one to Shaub and Little was thrown out
a first by Keener. Westlake and Keeuer
went out on flies to Little and Moran on
a fly to McGarvey.
Merrimal was the first man to bat for
the home team in the ninth and was
thrown out at first by Rothermel Carey

and then to third, exerting himself to the
utmost to ad at least another run to the
score, but his efforts were of 10 avail. as
McGarvey went out on a fly to McVev
and Rothermel threw Clark out at first.
Rothermel did great work in this half.
The short stop went to the plate as the
hrst of the Hazletons in the wind up of
the game. He and McVey were thrown
out at first by Clark. Donovan then fol-
lowed with three-bagger and the people
who had started to leave the grounds
hesitated in breathless expectation. The
anxiety was increased when Shields, the
next batter, got his base on balls. A few
moments latter cheers and applause for
the home team filled the air, Sewers hav-
ing caught fine fly hit by Mccartney,
retiring The side and ending the game.

Needs Disciplining.

The Shenandoah Council needs disci
pining before the treasury CT that Dor

court costs and interest. The Council
men should do two particular things /;
reef their carriage hire bills by walking
to the new water dam and pay just claims
without forcing the claimants to sue.
Besides the Boyer case, which was long
since decided in favor of the claimant,
Shenandoah now has the Doyle and
Womelsdorf cases to lose, besides a dozen
others we wot of. They seem to be play

Old Marital Ceremonies,

"Wedding" comes from an old word,
"wad," or "wed." q pledge or token,
still used In Scotland to denote q bail
one Robert Brunne, writes Of laying
his glove to ''wed;" also Geofrrey
Chaucer says: "Let him beware his
nekke lieth to wedde" Furthermore,
the poet Cover enlightens US on ths
use of the word "wedde" as follows:
But first 'er thou be spedde,
Thou shalt have such a wedde,
That l Will have troth on honde,
That thou shalt be fhyn husbande."
Anglo-SaXon custom ordained that,
when the betrothal Of young people
took place. the youth gave the maiden
certain "weds," one of which was a
ring. 1t was put on the right hand
then, being subsequently removed to
the left on marriage. This Is appar-
emily the origin Of our modern engage
ment ring.
The giving Of money Is assigned to
the time Of Clovis, who, when married
to Princess Clothilde, gave her q SOU
and a "denier." Since then, these have
become legal marriage offerings even
to this day In France. or course. the
value Of the coins depends on the stat
us Of the contracting parties. Former
ly. like custom existed in England.
The bride or her attendant carried q
bag, often handsomely embroidered, to
receive the gift for the bride. This re-
ceptacle was called a "dow (from
'dower) PURSE" and this custom long
fingered In country parts Evidently
from 1t originated the bridal gift Of
parents or bridegroom called . dowry

Franks of Florida wood-Rats


The latest narrative Of the queer do
Ing Of the Florida wood-rat, the best
known Of them all. comes from Mrs. @.
F. Latham, of Mexico, Florida. Previ-
Gus to the destruction by fire Of the old
Oak Lodge. year before last, It was
often visited by pair Of very sociable
and quite harmless wood-rats, who
nested in palmetto hut near by, and
made 1t their home until some cats
came into the family The wOod-rats
were big-eyed, handsome creatures
without the vicious look Of a common
rat with fine, yellowish-gray fur, white
feet, and white under parts. Inasmuch
as they never destroyed anything save
q pair Of Mrs. Latham's shoe strings,
which they had cut in order to get them
out of the eyelet-holes, they were tol-
Grated about the premises, and here are
some Of the queer things they did:
They carried some watermelon seeda
from the lower floor, and hid them up-
stairs under Mr.. Baxter's pillow. In
the kitchen they found some cucumber
seeds. and Of these they took a table
spoonful and deposited them in the
Po'hes Vi .nr' p'lAteI vest "nlch
hung upstairs on a nall. In one night
they took eighty-five pieces Of wood
from box Of beehive fixtures, and
laid them In cOrn-bOx. The following
night they took about two quarts Of
corn and oats. and put it into the box
from which the beehive fixtures came.
Once Mrs. Latham missed handful Of
pecans, and they were so thoroughly
hidden that she never found them.
About u year later the rats realized that
Mrs. Latham had "given 1t up" and 10!
the pecans suddenly appeared one day
upon her bed!-St. Nicholas.

Travels OF tho Elevator Man.

men in the Monadnock Building. as he
stopped on the sixteenth floor.
The real estate mans clerk thought
a moment and answered, "Oh, about
two or three miles"
You're way on" said the elevator
man, and he began to figure up. "On
an average" he said, II make two trips
every five minutes. That makes twen-
ty-four round trips or forty eight sim
gle trips every hour Of the day. The
building Is 200 feet high. Now, In ten
hours make 4SO single trips. each one
200 feet long. That makes in q day
$4,000 feet. When you come to divide
this by $3.50, the number of feet in Q

days out Of every week. In year this
amounts to over 5000 mileA"-Chica-

"BrouRht Up" in COLLEGE,

One of the most original character
of the Welsh pulpit was the late Rev.
Lewis Powell, Cardiff. While on a visit
to Carmarthen town on one occasion he
called at the college. and the students
were all for the first time to pay him
homage.
"Can I have the help Of two Of you,
my boys for a minute?" asked Mr..
Powell
"Yes, dear Mr.. Powell" answered
half a dozen of them at the same time,
"Well, want two lusty boys, II you
please" he remarked, and two Of the
strongest students were chosen. "Now,
my boys" said Mr.. Powell, 'Iet me lay
a hand on the shoulder Of each Of you,
and you put your arms around me-"
This was done.
"Lift me, boys" said Mr.. Powell
and the students lifted him until he
was head and shoulders above all pres
ent In the room. THANK you, my boys, "
he remarked. "You may let me down
now."
This was done. Then one Of the boya
asked:
"What is the meaning Of this, Mr.,
Powell?"
The answer was:
"Well, some people look down on tae
church in Cardi1 because Mr.. Powell,
the minister. was not brought up in
college. 1 can go back to Cardifr now
and tell them that was raised in Car
rl,urthen College, and that I stood high

century, became SO notorious for
drinking and swearing that he was

of to the intef:or Of Stromboli, from
whicn he has coLtinued ever since to
