The Christian Work says: "The decis-
ion of Vice. Chancellor Ptney in the case
of the New Jersey Presby terry against
Rev. Howard Widdemer has been hand
ed down at last. This case created con-
siderable interest in PRESBYTERIAN circles.
Rev. Mr.. Widdemer was deposed by the
Monmouth County Presbytery from the
pulpit in the First Presbyterian church
of Ashbury Park Mr.. Widdemer re-
fused to abide by the decision of the
County Presbytery, and i'll this determi-
nation he was backed by three-iourths o.
his congregation. Finally application
was made to the Vice Chancellor Pitney
for an order to compel Mr.. Widdimer to
show cause why he should not be de-
posed from his pulpit, and to restrain
the congregation from paying him his
regular salary. In his decision the Vice
Chancellor holds that the Presbytc,y
has no control over the manscs of the
Presbyterian churches in that state, and
that the pastor has right to occupy
the premises as long as he has the sane
ton OF the congregation. The Vice
Chancellor further holds that Mr.. Wild
dinner cannot preach in the church
unless ne has the endorsement of the
entire congregation as its presiding
minister. This is the first decision OF
this character that has been rendered.
1t is believed that the decision is hard
blow to the authority of the Presbytery.
as heretofore it has been believed that
the Presbytery had absolute control over
all manSes in the state"

THE BESf or LIFE.

Not till life's heat Is oiled,
The hcadlong rush slowed TO quiet pace.
And every purblind passion that has ruled
Our noisier years, at last
Spurs us in vain and weary of the race,
We care no more who loses or who wins
All, not till all the best of liz. seems past
The best OF life begins.
To toll for only fame,
Handclappings and the tickle gusts OF praise,
For place or power or gold to gild a name
Above the grave whereto
All paths will bring u.s. were to lose our days,
We, on whose ears youths passing bell has
toled,
In blowing bubbles, even as children do,
Forgetting we grow old.
But the world widcns when
Such hope of trivial gain that ruled us lies
Broken among our chidhood's toys, for
Then we win to self control;
And mail ourselves in manhood, and there
Rise upon us from the vast and MINDLESS
Height, those clearer thoughts that are unto
I he soul what stars are to the night

some, he recalled the incident OF the

that the local department could not
control the fire. Aid was sent for to
Oshkosh, Neenah aud Appleton, and
the former city sent two engines and
5000 feet Of hose.
The combined efforts of the depart.

which swept everything over tract
of thirtv-two acres. The property de-
stroyed was 10000, 900 feet of pine and
hemlock lumber; warehouse filed

DENVER, Col, Sept. 29.-The damage
done to fruit in this state by the
heavy snowfall of last night is be-
yond computation. In the vincinity
of Denver fruit and shade trees were
broken by the weight of the snow
freezing to the limbs yet in full leaf,
and scarcely tree for miles around
escaped injury. Reports from the in
terror show the same deplorable con-
ditions, varying only in degree. While
the fruit growers may save most of
the matured fruit out of the wreck. the
more serious injury is in the broken
tree.
Telegraph and telephone wires suf.
fered locally from the same cause.
The snow storm was general all over
the state, the amount varying from
four to twelve inches. To-day the sun
shone clear, but did not succeed in
melting all the snow that lay on the
ground The indications are favora.

Hay Raising In Mississippi.

Mississippi is fast becoming ono OF
the best hay producing States in the
Union. Five years ago farmers paid
little or no attention to hay making;
now there arc hundreds of mowers at
work in every county in the State, and
hay has become an important item in
agriculture. Ali the indigenous grasses
OF the State make the best quality OF
hay, which brings SIS per ton on the
market. Yalobusha County is one OF
the best hay growing counties in the
State, and thousands Of tons have been
cut and stored during this month. The
month has been unusually free from
rain and very little hay has been lost.
The hay making industry is being
rapidly transferred from Illinois to
Mississippi. and this fact alone is bring
ing thousands Of Western farmers into
the State, who see the possible develop
ment of the future.
