CAMBRIDGE, MASS, Nov. 27.-Ben-
jamin Apthorp Gould, scholar and
astronomer, died last night. Professor
Gould was about to go out, and was
descending the stairs when he fell
and struck on his head. He died a

Benjamin Apthorp Gould was born

"ANDREW CARNEGIE"
Asked by a reporter to explain what
Episcopal Order Not Popular

A new order for clergymen of the
Episcopal Church is announced in
Philadelphia. 1t is to be known as
Companions Of the Holy Saviour"
1t is announced that the members will
lead a community life, bound by three
vows of poverty, celbacy and obedi-
ence, under rule which will be drawn
up aud TO which they promise uu-
fllncbing obedience. Rev. William
McGarvey, assistant minister of the
Church of the Evangelist in Phila-
delphia, will be the superior of the or
der. The new organization does not
seem to be welcomed with great effu-
sion by the church at large. About u
dozen clergymen are to join it, but it is
a question with the others whether a
self-established poverty plus celibacy
is a potent factor in spreading the gos-
pei. The majority of the clergy seem
to think that the employment of
money and personal service In carry
ing the gospel to foreign lands is a
more potent factor in spreading the
gospel. From opinions expressed
10y number of the clergy here, it is
not believed that the new organiza-
ton will receive many additions to its
membership from this city.

SANDY BROWN'S OWL.
Caught by Means of Very C'eVerlS Oo-
structed Trap.

gtructed Trap.
Some one was stealing Sandy Brown
chickens. Every morning when SANDY
went out to scatter screenings there was
at least one of the younger ROSTERS OF
hens missing, usually the very fattest
and finest of the flock. Sandy couluh
understand at all where they went 10.
He knew every man in the nelghpor-
hood. and every chicken, too. for that
MATTER and he knew that some stranger
must he guilty of the thieveries. Now
!. was no small matter to Sandy to have
his plump pulIets stolen for he was only

money that the eggs and chickens
woad bring him to help pay for Ger
tojn handsome little rifle that he lonSed
TO rosses;. So be determined to watch
and see If he couldn't catch the thlef.
Before daylight the next morning no
was up and out, hiding in the corncrlo'
where he could see and not be seen.
Nor long aftcrward the chickens came
cIucling into the bnrnyard. For time
everything was quiet, and then the old
red-top rooster Strengthened up and be-
gan to grumble and turn his head from
was q sound of wings in the air. ana
huge bird lighted on the corner OF the
barn. The next instant the chickens
began flying about and clucking ex-
citedly, and then, before Sandy could
open his mouth to shout, the owl, for
an owl it was. darted down, and Sandy
saw one of his favorite pullets carried
away over the hill 80 you're the
thief" exclaimed Sandy. 9TH fix you.
But, although Sandy hid in the corn
crib for several mornings with his ia
theirs old shotgun double loaded, the
wary old owl didn't come near. Sandy's
father said he smelled the gun
"Tll get him yet" said Sandy, with
determination.
That very afternoon bright plan
popped into Sandy's head. He cut long
pole in the woods, sawed off the top
square and smooth, nailed a board on
it, and set it up firmly in a corner of the
fence near the barn. On top of It he
placed steel rat trap, already set, and
fastened by a long chain to the post be
low.
Next morning he was awakened by
terrific commotion in the chicken yard.

Owl flying wildly about with the trap
close fastened to one of his feet. He
had come along early. and thinking that
the post was an excellent place to light
while he picked out the best pulet in the
flock, he had stopped there to rest. In
"a minute Sandy was pulling him down,
and although he scratched and fought
Sandy succeeded in conquering him. He
was a huge horned owl, and the next
week, when Sandy went to town, he
took him along, and a dealer in stuffed
birds told him that it was the finest
specimen of an owl he had ever seen.
Sandy, being of a practical turn of
mind, offered on the spot tic sell the big
bird. The dealer promptly gave him
four dollars for it, and Sandy at once
paid it over to the man who had rifles to
sell.

along and steal my chickens" he said
to himself on his way home. They're
more profitable than pullets."

Matters are all going our way. 1t is

ward to the day when the American
Continent is to be owned and governed
by Americans. This is the law of des-
tiny, but no need of our interference.
