The Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
Church of New York, founded in 1908,
has the richest congregation Of any
church in the city. The collection
taken up on communion Sunday of
each month averages not less than
$4,000. Checks for sums ranging
from $1,000 to $4,000 are not uncom-
mon. On one Sunday in 1894 the
plate had $4,000 deposited on it.
Within the last five years the total OF
voluntary contributions for mission
work, church maintenance and miscel-
laneous charities aggregated IN excess
of S93O,O00. Rev. John Hall, the
pastor, receives a salary Of $4,000
per annum, which is swelled by pres
ents from millionaire members OF his
congregation, by requests and fees, to
an equal amount. In the magnificent
mansion adjoining the church, which
the members of the congregation built
at a cost of $75, 900, the venerable min
lister lives in opulence, and imported
servants from the north Of Ireland
move about with stif-necked dignity.

On Saturday last as r. B. Kendall
was passing down the road in front Of
his brothers house at Clean, Fauquier
county, singing when the general
roll is called I'll be there, John Ken
dali came out of his house and told him
to stop singing in front of his house,
which r. B. Kendall refused to 90,
saying that his brother could not make
him. John Kendall then undertook
to stop him, when fight ensued. John

Treasure in an Old Violin.

Hugh Mcclure, farmer living
near Goodland, Kan, received by ex-
press a violin that had in it some
thing more soothing to a Kansas farmer
than music. Two years ago his uncle
died in Washington city. He was
supposed to have some money saved
up and as Mcclure was his only heir
he anticipated little fortune, When
his will was opened it was found that
he had left him nothing but an old
violin. Mcclure was so indignant
that he would not pay the expressage
on it to Kansas.
A few nights ago he dreamed the
fiddle was full of money. He told
his wife, who believes in dreams, and
she appropriated So out of her egg
money to pay the charges. 1t arrived
Friday, and when examined was found
to contain 81 800 in money and a
deed to 100 acres of land in Virginia.
There was not a word Of explanation
with it.

A Storm at Sea

Increases the discomfort OF the voyager. But
even when the weather is not tempestuous
he is liable TO sea sickness. They who ira
verse the Gigantic wetness' should be pro-
vided with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which quiets disordered stomachs with graf.
flying speed and certainty. To the hurtful
influence OF n tropic, malarious or too rigor-
Gus or damp climate, as well as to the bane-
full effects OF unwholesome diet and bad wa
ter, IL is n reliable antidote. Commercial
travellers by sea or land, mariners, miners,
western pioneers, and all who have TO en-
counter vicissitudes OF climate and tempera-
ture, concur in pronouncing 1t the best safe
guard. 1t prevents rheumatism and pulmo-
nary attacks in consequence OF damp and
cold. and IL is an efficient defense against all
forms of malaria. 1t can be depended upon
in dyspepsia, liver and kidney trouble.

The French say 'it is the impossible

the case with the Mount Lebanon Sha-
kers. The whole scientific world has
been laboring to cure dyspepsia, but
every effort seemed TO meet with defeat
The suffering from stomach troubles
has become almost universal. Multi
tudes have no desire for food and that
which they eat causes them pain and
distress, SleepleSs nights are the rule
and not the exception, and thousands OF
sufferers have become discouraged.

Will Mr.. Wilson Try 1t Again?

A recent dispatch from Washington
to the Baltimore NerS says:
Postmaster-General Wilson will be
the Democratic candidate for Congress
next fall in the second West Virginia
district, which he represented for SIX
consecutive terms, and was defeated
in the landslide of 1894. The author
ity for this statement is one OF his
principal lieutenants and supporters,
Prosecuting Attorney Forrest Brown
of Jefferson county. Mr.. Brown says
that the Democrats of the second dis
trict will never get over the humilia-
ton of Wilson's defeat until they have
retrieved it by putting him back into
Congress. The Postmaster-General,
himself, it is said, is much in the same
frame of mind, and is not unwilling to
make the race, if it should be the de-
sire of his constituents.
