The cost of transporting to market
of such products would be so much
lowered, that farmers could afford to
take less for them, and the merchants
could sell them for so much less to the
consumers, thereby bene6ttng all
concerned. The manufacturers would
have to pay less for their raw mate

would be cheaper because the cost Of
transportion, which is such an I'M

Churches of this city were held on yester-

sermon, and it was expected that he would
do so yesterday, but at a late hour DR.. j.

the bishop and his inability to be present
The large audience was then addressed by
DR.. j. 7. Jenifer upon the appropriate OBJ

basis of his remarks the 1C7th Psalm, Is:

Tennessee" Brown Is dead, and the voice
that has been heard In the northern part
of the city for number of years calling
Grass cut will be heard no more. The
poor old man was well known In the section
me ntoned, where he cut grass and did odd
Jobs about houses. He had nc home. but
lived about from place to place, sleeping
in stables and outhouses and getting his food
at houses where he worked. Last summer
he called at the house of Mrs. Mary Mc1n-
tosh, colored, No. 170S 10th street, and
asked that he be permitted to sleep in the
stable loft for a few nights. His request
vas granted, and he has been there ever
since. He had been in the habit of going
out early in the morning to work. but this
morning, when he failed to descend the
rickety steps and leave the premises, an In
vest:Eation was made and the old mans
dead body was found. He was in a cramped
position on a pile of old carpet and cast-of
bedding, while some of the same material
was over him as covering.
The deceased was called Tennessee"
Brown, from the fact that he came from
Tennessee, where he said he had sister
living. Lately he has complained of being
SICK but Mrs. Mcintosh thought this bad
feeling was only the result of his intemper-
ate habits and paid but little attention to
what he said. He was hard drinker and
seldom " ent to his room at night without
being under the influence ~of liquor. FIRE.
quently 1t was necessary for him to be as
sisted to his room in order to prevent his
falling down the dangerous steps and per-
haps killing himself.
When the body was found this morning
there was near the old mans bed on the
floor a bottle containing a small amount
of whisky and bottle of Squibbs mixture.
The latter fluid the deceased had probably
purchased when he was sick.
Soon after it was known that he was dead
the police were notified and the body was
removed to the morgue. As there Is no sus-
picion of foul play, 1t is likely that no in
quest will be held, and the body will prob
ably reach potter's field tomorrow.

When Adam had shaken himself and
looked around him, on the day of his crea-

lowing soilcquy:
well, 1t doesn't look as If I were going
to have much company to keep me from
being lonesome, but there is one thing l
can congratulate myself upon, and that is
I'm a man without past.
Il have no foolish actions to grieve over,
no notes coming due, no bad. character to
live down, no breach of promise suit on my
hands, no loss of lent money to kick myself
about, no creditor to make me hide in the
woods, no dun to put off till next Monday
week, no lies to manufacture to appease
things 1 haven't got to do, and last, and
best of all, I'm in 70 danger of being run
down and killed by a bicycle ridden by a
woman in boomers. On the whole, don't
