Rev. Isaac Atwood Talks at the
futile Church.
Rev. Isaac M. Atwood, president of
St Lawrence Theological seminary, of
Canton, N. Y, occupied the pulpit of
futile Memorial Universalist church
yesterday, both morning and evening,
in place Of his son, Rev. ]. M. Atwood,
the regular pastor. The church was
packed TO the doors at both services.
AT the morning service Mr.. Atwood
Jr., in introducing his father, stated that
the day was the first anniversary of his
own Dastorate in the city. The year,
he said. had been pleasant as well as
prosperous, and he hoped for continued
blessings on his work.
DR.. Atwood took for his text the pass
age, 1T is more blessed to give than to
receive ut is often a blessing to
receive" said the preacher, "but a
continual receiving, without a CORE
spending giving, dwarfs the soul. Teach
the child, as one of it's earliest lessons,
to serve, for only in service is the high
est blessing received. In the school of
Christ we must learn the lesson of CIV
ing. In the first place we must give
ourselves. While it is true that we are
carried along by the irresistible current
Of destiny, yet we can go, If we will,
free man, or we can be carried as a
slave, against our will. We are happy
only as we are conscious of being useful.
Christ gave to the entire world the pow
er Of salvation.'

capped as he has been by his terrible in
juries he has frequently done good service as

going up a ladder. If necessary. One day,
when vessel was on fire near the New York

showed more bravely or was more active and
helpful than Adamson, vino literally stood

MOTORMAN WAS IIISsING.
He Received Possibly Fatal Injury
In IA Mysterious Manner.

,. f. PaulSon, motorman on Bry-
ant avenue car, lies at the point of
death at the city hospital, suffering
from a fractured skull received in a
mysterious manner re was on duty
last night as usual until Thirty-first
street was reached going west, when
the conductor noticed the car ran
along uninterrupted despite the ring
ing of his bell to stop. Going for ward
to ascertain the cause, he found the
vestibule empty and the motorman
gone. Stopping the car he went back
along the tracks a short distance, and
found Paulson lying unconscious on
the ground. DR.. Crosby, whose resi-
dence is near, was summoned, and rem
dered assistance until the arrival Of
the central station patrol wagon, which
took the wounded man 20 tie city hos
pital. Early this morning his condi-
ton was said to be unchanged. and it
is thought he may not survive.
The manner of the accident is eX
planned by supposition alone. The
theory offered by the conductor was
that the driver leaned out OF the door
which was protected with gates, aid
his head came in contact with ALI ircn
pole supporting the trolley wires. An
other thought he received a severe elac-
trio shock, sufficiently strong TO Iiurl
him from his position on the car.

THE GLOBE ALMANAC.
An Up-tO-Date Hand Book for the
Year 1896.

Those who think of an almanac as a
f1imsy pamphlet given away by drug
stores in the interests Of some patent
medicine, will be surprised and delight
ed when they inspect copy Of the new
Atlas-Almanac and Cyclopedia, which
this paper has provided for the con-
venience and information Of its readers
and their friends.
To start with the book is the largest
ever produced in this country under the
auspices Of newspaper; it contains
49, pages, and these are double the
size Of any other Almanac issued But
it's distinctive feature. which places 1t
above and beyond all others, is found
in the fact that 1t contains 4S maps
printed in four colors and comprising
every state and territory, besides
Canada and Central America. These
maps are new and have been en-
graved especially for the Atlas-Almanac
by the well-known atlas maker, George
F. Cram. They show all countries and
railroads, and are invaluab BILE for refer
ence, practically taking the place of an
atlas costing from $40 to $40. The sta
tistical portion of the work treats of
the National Government. State Gov
ernments. Politics, Election returns,
Agriculture, Manufactures, Mining,
Finance, Education, Religion, Law,
Sports, Society, the Home, besides
large amount of information regarding
domestic and foreign affairs. Every
page of the book bears the work of ex-
pense and 1t has cost more to produce
it than any Year Book ever published
in America, yet it will nevertheless be
supplied to readers and their friends at
the nominal price Of 25 cents per copy
The maps alone are worth many times
this amount, and the entire work will
be found invaluable to every reader
who wants to be up with the times in
matters of general information. Price
25 cents. postpaid to any address.

He is married and has fannily-no-
tably a son, Patrick, now fifteen years
old.
Until last August this boy was re-
markable only for his fiery red hair, the
reddest ever seen on the head of a
Casey, and for his freckles, both large
and numerous.

was five feet high and weighed 120
pounds. The intense heat made him
grow like tropical plant, until now,
less than two months from the begin
ming Of this squirt, he is six feet two
inches high and weighs 16S pounds.
His bones, formerly tough are now
so soft they bend like whalebones His
muscles are soft and stringy. His teeth
are loose and threaten to fall out at the
slightest jar.
Patsey's bed fitted him nicely in Au-
gust. In mid-September John Casey
brought home in his milk cart a new
bed. Two weeks later the footboard
had to be taken out, and now Patsey's
rect hang a full foot away from the end

alarming growth, and saw there was

more slowly and were liable presently
to be far outstripped.
But the most astounding thing of all hap-
Pened last Thursday night. Mrs Casey, who
does not sleep soundly from thinking Of the
way Patsey is growing. heard peculiar gasp

Patsey got piece of paper and pencil and
wrote:

Mrs. Casey ran weeDing to wake her hus

He went in and, seeing that he was mis-
taken, burst into huge lamentations and made
off after DR.. Martin. The doctor looked into
Patseys throat, but could give no explanation
further than that the startling growth of Pat
sey's body must have something to do with it.
Patsey eats and sleeps we'll and is perfectly

grow still taller and that presently his sight
