LOST HIS VOCATION.
David Thomaas Discouragesng Ex-
pertence as a Preacher End. in a Cell

David Th0rnaas Encouraging Ex-
perience as a Preacher ENDS la a Cell
For ten years David Thomas, a colored
man of q years, who lives at No. 13 Kear-
ny avenue, has divided his time between
serving the Lord as o Methodist preacher
and serving man as a waiter in a New
came tired of the aroma of hash. and de-
cided thai he had a call to more spiritual
things. He declared to a friend at that
time that in his dreams nightly he could
hear the Lord say, .Davie, Davie, l want
you to serve Me-, So he went to work
and devoted his time to the interests of
the church from that time forth.
Sometimes he found it paid a little. but
more times it paid nothing. For the past
year it has been nothing. About two
weeks ago he told Patrolman Bose of the
Fifth Precinct Station House that he was
tired working for rewards in kingdom
come. He said
Il am a smart man, and dis heah coun-
try can't dew widout me; but de Lud
must have forgot me. He amt paid me
nothing for dis heah whole past year and
here it am N~ovembah."
Bose advised him to work another
month and told him tina possibly the
Lords payday was at the beginning Of
his back salary.
Davie" thought this good advice, 30
he decided to work a little while longer.
Blu last night he threw up his job,. and
asked his mother, Mrs. Lucy Barrett, for
some money for running expenses, and
she refused it.
Then a serious row began. Davie
threatened to "trip her OPEN, so the old
lady screamed for help. Sergeant Kelly
happened to be on Kearny avenue at the
time and he started to investigate. He
found ex-religious "Davie" standing in the
middle of the kitchen, armed with a
club nearly four feet long. His mother
had locked herself up in an adjoining
bedroom.
The Sergeant speedily disarmed "Da-
vie and inquired what all the trouble
was about. Mrs. Barrett, after making
sure that help was at hand, came from
under cover and told her story. The
Sergeant told her she would have to make
q complaint at the station house and
she did so. Then "Davies' and his lit
Bose.
AT the station house "Davie'' was lock-
ed up as a disorderly person. After an
hour or SO Captain Nugent happened to
go to his cell to take a look at him. The
minute "Davies' saw Nugent he turned
his back upon him, dropped to his knees
and began to pray in such a loud tone
that the very foundations of the station
house began to shake. He turned his
head around frequently to see If the Cap
tain was still there, and finally broke
out:-4Go way, man, go way; don't you
see Use praying wild de Gud la-mighty
and Use don't want no inference"
Thomas case was postponed until to-
morrow, when both his mother and
himself will produce their witnesses be-
fore Judge Douglass.

SQUABBLB OVER A JUNKfT.
EOboken Boards at Odds Over the
Healing of a Nexr SeIsoaI

At a meeting of the Hoboken School
Board, last evening, a resolution was
proposed by Commissioner Seitz and
adopted that the Common Council be. no.
tilted that the School Board must be
consulted before the contract FOR the
steam heating and ventilating for the
new schoo is awarded. The Commissions
ers learned hat a committee of the Com
mon Council had gone TO Pittsbtlrg at
the request of Peck, Williams & Co. of
Cincinnati, to investigate the mpany'
system, which is in operation in Some Of
the schools of P~ittsburg.
The COMMITTEES was originally to be
composed OF some OF the Councilmen, to-
gether with a representation of the
School Board. The company offered to
pay the expenses of the trip. 1t is
thought that, as the School Board had
been overlooked and none of its members
had been taken along on the junket. the
Board was afraid the contract would be
awarded before it had been heard on the
matter.

Nacktics in sizes.

It is high time fer some manufacture
to come forward and make mems ties ia
sizes, as collars are made The person
who wears made-up ties can a~ecomnaoda e
the length of the band to the size of lis
neck by taking up the slack in the buclae.
but the seif-respeeting man who es ais
own ties finds them all of one length
who wears an eighteen-inch csi1ar-fnd
either has to chop off an end, mako a
bunch at the back of his neck by g~atlier-
ing, up the superduons inches in the
middle or wander around behind a buffer
fly bow that might serve as a signboArd.
The only alternative Is to nave one'sftses
made to order, and hat is not p Rcti-
cable in San Francisco. because there is
not a SUFFICIENT variety of patterns Of
proper materials 10 choose from. The
man who will make ties in sizess will
make a fortune.-Argonaut.

No duellst could ever be made TO smile
over the famous story of the Englishman
and Frenchman who were to fight duel
in pitch dark room. Not wishing TO Kill

chimney when the word was given. and 10

Who had hidden there. When this story IS

Fighting Fitzgerald was successful in
eighteen duels before it was discovered
that he always wore q coat of mail. For
years his fame in society had rested on
his invariable success as duelist, and this
discovery was his undoing. \ certain

sword snapped on a heart thrust and de-

The most tragic duel inEngland was
between Lord Byron. granduncle of the
poet. and kinsman. 1t was fought in
a tavern room by the light of one tallow
candle. Lord Byron was tried for muir

penalties of which he escaped because he
was a peer of the realm. This safeguard
of peers was done away with only during
the present reign.-Chicago News.
