To the Editor OF THr ARous.
DEAR SIR AN article from King
wood, which appeared in some OF the
daily papers, and most of the weeklies,
concerning my congregation and my
self is basely false. 1t speaks OF band
of rowdies breaking up our meeting,
cutting my saddle and bride in pieces,
giving me n dose of spoiled hen fruit,
and that people and peacher gave up in
despair The Bible tells MS that the
devil is the father of lie, and evident
ly the father of this one is the 'old
fellow" himself. or his truest and ia
vorite son, who, by following his faith.
er's bidding, as he is now doing, stands
a good chance of inheriting his fathers
whole kingdom.
/ wish to state the facts in the case,
which is due my people as we'll as my
self. was holding a special service at
Gordon Chapel near Gladesville. There
was some misbehavior, and the parties
in succession. after which we had good
order 1t was on Friday night ! found
my bridle-bit broken, but otherwise
the birdie was all right, and my saddle
was not at all damaged. There was no
raid made upon the house, neither
preacher nor people were at all dis
turbed or in despair. The meeting was
continued until Sunday night. when IL
was closed in the usual manner and
because of lack of interest there and
work TO do elsewhere. The preacher
was not run off, has not left his work,
but is still on his ground, and intends
to stay till his Conference sees fit TO
remove him.
BERTRAM L. MBRcBR,
Pastor NJ II Church.
The above item in the daily papers,
which was republished in many of the
weeklies was sent out from Kingwood
by a correspondent here, who has such
brilliant imagination that IL is totally
impossible for him to confine himself 10
the truth, and this matter was grossly
exaggerated, as most of his reports
are.-ED ARGUS.

PriestIy Celebacy

Rome, April $50 wide circGla-
tion has been given to the story that
in the College of Cardinals Il majority
, of the body was in favor of abolishing
the obligation of celebacy for the sec
ular clergy of the Catholic Church,
and that the Supreme Pontif was also
in favor of this radical move, that it
is not improbable that an official de-
NAL, addressed to the faithful every
where, may be issued from the Vati-
can. Those originally responsible
for the report, however, insist that i.
was based upon substantial grounds,
which may be made public should the
denial in question be forthcoming.

The Star in the West.

The bright Star in the West Just
after sunset is Venus. 1t is fol
lowing and rapidly gaining on the
earth and Professor Foster says it has
much to do with our weather. The
disc, or face. of this planet changes
the same as the moon and with a
small telescope it may now be seen
as the moon appears at first quarter
On the 18th OF September it will pass
between the earth and sun and will
not then be visible as its dark side
will be turned toward us as the moon
is at view. Venus occupies the posi-
ton relative TO the earth as now at
intervals Of about nineteen months
AT its nearest point it is twenty-five
million miles from the earth and is
brightest thirty six days before and
after it passes between the earth and
sun and will, therefore, be brightest
about August 18th, and October 9Th.

Douglas Loses

t Yesterday the case of Joe Douglas
IS. the Stevenson estate was dismissed
! at plaintiffs cost. in the District
Court of this city 1t is an old case
and possesses peculiar interest.
Some years ago Stevenson borrowed
$1,000 Of Joe Douglass and gave his
note. After Stevenson S death, Doug
lass gave the claim t. his attorney.
Mr. Huffaker. to collect. Mr.. Huffa.
ker knowing that Trenmor Coffin was
the attorney for the estate, handed
him the claim and asked him to hand
it to the administrators, Mrs. Steven
son, in order to save him trip to
Carson Y This little piece of economy
cost Joe Douglas over $1,000. Mr..
Coffin put the claim in his pocket and
did not present it. Consequently when
the time expired for presenting claims
it became outlawed.
Douglas brought suit. but Coffin as
the attorney Of the estate held that the
claim had never been presented t. the
administrative Mr. Huffaker pro.
duced letter in Court whilh Coffin
had written him. stating that he had
presented the claim in due form.
The Court asked Coffin when on the
stand if he still swore that the claim
was not presented. in spite OF the let
ter, and his reply was in the affirm
ative. 1t was held b. the court that
when mans oath contradicted what
he had written when not under oath,
the statement under DATA was the best
evidence. Douglas carried the case
to the Supreme Court. and the decis.
ion of the lower court vas affirmed.
