There are hun dreds of men and wom-
en- in this oitv who do not attend any
church regularly who would be delighted
with the eloquenoe and earnestness of
DR.. G. W. Parsons if only they would go
to hear him. He has served some OF the
largest Methodist churches in the coun-
try and has preached to the largest con-
gregations Of Methodlsts in America.
The increasing attendance at his church
shows that the people are beginning to
aupr sciate his fine, scholarly sermons.
DR.. Parsons has fully recovered from his
recent illness and his health is better now
than it has been for the past two years.
A visitor this fall remarked that the
sermon he had just heard DIR. Parsons
deliver, was one of the ablest sermons
he had ever heard, and he wondered that,
the church was not packed to the doors.

A QUEER DEBT.
Refused for Twenty Years to Pay $500
Loaned to Start Him in Business.

An extraordinary case of debt was last
week revealed before Disclosure Commits.
sioner Charles Nichols of this CITY, The
debtor is we'll known Portland man. a
skilful mechanic and the creditor is a
brother mechanic. The creditor loaned
the debtor $500 in 1875, whereby to begin
business. The debtor has done a good
business ever since, has earned a good
living and paid all his bills during these
past twenty years, with the exception OF
this one bill of $500 that was kindly
loaned him by fellow mechanic when
he was in need. This bill he has steadily
refused to pay, and the in terest has now
increased it to $500
The debtors wife has also been earning
money for years. They have lived ex-
pensively. What property they have is in
the wife's name. The disclosure showed
that the debtor possesses no property, ex-
cept a cane, a Canton Ridgely uniform
and cheap revolver He owed only 50
for groceries, and 81 or milk.
Thus there is apparently no way for the
creditor to get his $780, This seems bard,
but this is only one of many such cases..
When asked why he had paid all other
bills but refused to pay this one. the
debtor said that he didn't really know,
but supposed it was because he never
could afford to do it.

| Consul Chancellor at Havre has sent to
the State Department a repo rt of the re-
cent tests of horseless carriages in France.
AS these vehicles are being introduced in
America interest in them is on the in
crease. He says:
The winning conyeyances were pro-
PEELED by gasoline, and the rate of speed
was about fifteen miles an hour, which
is regarded as an extremely creditable
performance, the long lines of hills being
taken into account These hills appear
to have proved too much for the carriages

doned the contest. One of the steam car
riages was brought to a standstiH at

accident, and tine others lost time by fire.

made for the purpose of taking in coal
and water. The electrical conveyances
had also to stop, from time to time, to
renew their dynamic charges, but TIE
petroleum machines carried enough force
for a twenty -four hours run, and ONT the
return journey the run was made with
out single stop. In comparing the mer-
its of the different propelling agents, the
palm must, SO far, be awarded to, petro-
leup, which is clean and can be easily
carried The ordinary feeder used for.

quarts of oil, which will last over a jour-
ney of twenty miles, or two and one-half
hours. For long distances, a receptacle
capable of holding enough petroleum for
run of at least twenty or twenty -four
hours is provided.
BOOMERS MAY DECLINE.
+. "We hear also of bicycles propelled by
petroleum. in which great interest has
been exhibited, and half dozen of such
machines started in the race at Bordeaux,
one, at least, holding its own among the
larger vehicles. 1t is believed that light
petroleum bicycles, tricycles, and even
eral use which will tend to relieve lady
cyclists from the necessity of wearing
short skirts Altogether, it seems that
petroleum is destined to become the pop
ular agent for solving the problem of
traffic and conveyances without horses in
the streets of great cities and on smooth
country roads.
