Forgot His Parcel.

A rather unique instance of absent
mindedness occurred the other evening on
the Jefferson avenue car line, says the
Detroit Tribune.
The car was well filled with passengers
and as a stop was made at McDougall ave-
nue. a man stepped off the back platform
where he had been standing, and the car
moved on.
Instantly a wild cry went up from the
late passenger, which broadened into a
howl of despair as the distance between
him and the trolley carriage was widened
AS he shrieked he also ran and waved his
hand frantically. The conductor, seeing
the shadowy form in the dimness of the
night and hearing the unearthly cries,
pulled the bellstrap and thus induced the
motorman to halt, which he did with a
jerk. The man in pursuit came within
hailing distance.
What dye want?" shouted the puncher
of pasteboard.
'I-want-th'-lady-in there" gasped
the man, swinging his hat at the open car
door, The car having come to a dead
standstill, a woman arose, deliberately
walked out of the car and was received
by her breathless escort, who had so near
ly left her to the fate of missing parcels
Amid much laughing the next man who
left the car in company with a lady in
sisted that she walk in front of him until
safely on, the ground.

We confess we were mistaken in the es-
innate of British justice which we gave a
few days ago. Speaking of the case of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Castle, indicted in
London for shoplifting in that city, We
assumed that If it was satisfactorily
shown that Mrs. Castle was mentally In
firm. and, therefore, not responsible for
her acts, no British jury would convict
her. There was no evidence on when to
convict Mr.. Castle, and. therefore, he was
discharged. Mrs. Castle plead guilty TO
taking the articles found in her trunk, but
1t was shown that she was a kleptoms.
MAC, and, therefore, not responsible. II
was also shown that Mr.. and Mrs. Castle
are very wealthy Americans, residents of
San Fra Hcisco, and that Mrs. Castle nao
no occasion to steal. Notwithstanding
the testimony of the best insanity ex.
perts in England that Mrs. Castle was
not responsible for her acts. the jury cor.
victed her. and the court sentenced her
to three months in prison.
1t looks as II the jury was Influenced nv
some other feeling than a desire to do
equal and exact justice. No American
jury would convict an insane woman or
stealing unless directed to do so by The
court, and even then It would hesitate A,
long time. The convicting of Mrs. Cas-
tie under the clrcums tances looks like
the result Of prejudice or spite. Perhans
It was only stupidity.

Presence of Mind.

"A young woman in western state, who
lives near to a railway crossing, looking
out of the window the other day, saw
laborer jump from one track to the other
to escape an approaching freight train
says the Youths Companion. He was
apparently dazed by terror and stood still
not seeing that behind an express train
was rushing down upon him.
The girl saw that before she could make
him understand his danger it would be
too late. She therefore threw up her
arms, shreking wildly: "Help! helm
help!" trusting to the impulse which sends
a man on the instant to the relief of a
woman in distress.
I'm comingv shouted the Irishman
springing toward her in time to escane
the engine as it rushed past. He stared
back at 1t, and then at the woman CRYING
and laughing in the window, and taking

His intentions probably were as friendly
as hers, but the wit was slower.
Another example of presence of mind
was that of a woman who heino Lee

/ people feel there is a bond of sympathy
between them and the minister. and. con-
! sequenuy. they find it pleasant to attend
church
The typical old minister lives largely in
the past, and the older he grows the more
inclined he is to preach purely theologi-
cal sermons, which may show great in
tellectual ability, but which are heavy.
and dun and dry. There isn't anything in
them that touches the hearts, awakens
the sympathies or arouses the interests
of his congregation. Consequently the at
tendance at his church falls off until only
those remain who feel 1t a duty to go to
church.
1t is hard on the old ministers to be
pushed aside TO make room for young
men, but what are the churches TO do?
Keep the old ministers and lose their con-
gregauons. or take the young ministers
and prosper?
The old ministers are largely to blame
for the growing sentiment against them
They refuse to recognize the changed con-
ditions of society and respond to the new
demands. They insist upon keeping in
the beaten paths-good paths perhaps for
the times in which they were made, but
unsatisfactory to this day and generation.
There is evolution In everything, and the
old ministers must adjust themselves to
the changes or yield their places to
younger men
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-11-08

A communication in a recent issue of
the Christian Observer contains a COM
plant to the effect that the tendency is
to put young ministers In the pulpits and
crowd the old ministers out. The writer
of the communication says: while recog-
nizing the amount of unexpended energy
that has been unused by the church in
the past, and bottled up or wasted on
selfish and worldly pleasure, now being
directed into religious channels, we are
amazed to see the experienced and tried
men being so rapidly removed to give
place to the inexperienced and untried,
and the throttle and safety valve of this
mighty engine placed in their hands,
which, sooner or later. will end in an ex-
plosion or some unseen disaster"
There is good ground for the complaint
made against old ministers. We do not
mean to say that there is ground for
complaint against all old ministers, or
even a majority of Them but 1t is I'M
doubtedly a fact that a great many
churches are losing their congregations
because the services are not sufficiently
attractive.
The time was when people went to church
because It was felt to be a sacred duty
to do so. That feeling is not as strong
as it once was, and a great many people.
perhaps majority, go only when they
think they will hear something interest
ing. The falling off in the congregation ;
makes II difficult for the church officers
to meet the necessary church expenses.
Naturally they believe the fault is with
the minister. and they are confirmed in
this belief If the minister is an old man
and the younger members OF the congre-
cation complain that his sermons are not
interesting. And, as a matter of fact,
the sermons Of young ministers are, as
a rule more interesting than those Of the
ola ones The young ministers are am
bilious for praise and success, and they
keep well abreast of modern thought.
They mingle with the people. become ac-

There are people who continue to en-
deavor to secure for themselves free ad-
vertising through Mr.. Bryan. Following
the report that a big New York house had
offered him salary of $4,000 a year to
take charge of its legal business comes
the story that firm has offered him
$4,000 a year to go on the road as a lee
turer. It is needless to say that Mr.. Bryan
will not accept any of these offers. HIS
fortunes have taken turn, certainly. and
he will hereafter be able to command a
large income in the practice of his profess
sion. But he will not make a show of
himself. He will probably continue
to live quietly al Lincoln, and viii
remain, at least for some time, at the

New YORK, Sept 26.-George Dixon, Of

fine. When the bell ended the contest the

referee declared the bout draw, This
decision was received with cheers but
many of those who watched all the points
