on the woman's then husband, August

baseball bat. When the convict returned
after his sentence, he found the farm
which he said was his was claimed by
Mr.. Robinson, who had bought 1t from
~
the farm, but had merely executed lease,
and claiming he had been robbed, began
suit. The proof was against him, and
when, the court gave a decision he acted
like an insane man, swearing at the court,
shaking his clenched fists at his honor
and the people on the side opposed to him.
/. The Rev. T. +. Barr, pastor Of the First
Congregational Church of Kalamazoo,
one of the most 'pntrician" churches in
the city, is making it unhappy for the rich
members Of his church. For some time
his sermons have related to the difficulty
which Dives will have in entering heaven
and otherwise tormented the wealthy by
holding up the example of the widows
mite. He capped the climax by inviting
the trade and labor unions to take charge
of the weekday evening meetings and
they did so. The capitalists held up their
hands in horror and circulated petition
demanding his removal. Sunday Mr..
Barr gave them the most caustic kind of
sermon-told how small soued capital
was, and remarked that the rich men
couldn't throw him out, because Mrs.
Leroy Cahill, his most stanch supporter,
holds $4,000 mortgage on the church,
which they would not take up. He
scathed the wealthy parish:oners for an
hour and half and ended by rendering
his resignation, to take effect Nov. i. He
says lie will not take any vacation this
year, but will stay right in Kalamazoo to
tell plain truths every Sunday until he
leaves the parish.
