an incident may be related which is inter
esting as showing his pluck and Vigor 1t

tary life. He was determined to make an
impression upon the house of commons,
but some Uf his friends doubted the wis

he left London and took up his quarters at
an inn in Rutlandshire. Here he spent
his days and nights for period of six
weeks, with only an occasional trip to

ing speeches. He practically went into
training upon every possible subject of de-
bate. The landlady could hear her lodger
hour after hour, day after day, walking
about his room delivering speeches. now
loud and angry, now soft and persuasive.
Perfected by practice, Lord Randolph
Churchill left for town, seized his oppor-
tunity, made big speech and henoefOrth

to his intimate friends did he ever refer to
his rural training in parliamentary ora

New YORK, March 6.-Thera is short
age in the accounts Of the American Mis-
siOnary society and the books of the or
ganization have been found to be in such
confused condition that the experts at
work on them are not as yet in a position
to make a detailed statement. The secre-
tary Of the society is Rev. pTilliam A.
Newbold, of Mont Clair, ana the treas
urer Henry A. Oakley, of New York city.
The Irregularities extend only to a portion
of the society's current receipts for somc
time, and do not impair the principal of
its resources or its trust funds.
Bishop Petcrkin, of West Virginia, said:
1.-THE Irregularities are such as warrant
the removal of the secretary and treasurer
from office. The society's expenditures
are between S25, 900 and 900 year, and
the money is paid out mostly in small
sums, making the auditing Of the accounts
extremely difficult The society has not
been entirely crippled by these Irregular
ties, but as they extend over i've or six
years it is impossible to make n detailed
statement. would not like 90 call it "A
