TWO ACCIDENTS ALREADY.
The Usual Carclessncss of the Small
BOy Ends DisnstrOusly.


AS long as there is Fourth of July
the small boy will celebrate in his
own way and the usual number of ac-
cidents will occur.
This year they seem to have COM
menced early enough as two accidents
have happened already. The little T.
year-old son of William McMullen, the
tailor, is one of the first victims. He,
with number of companions, was en-
gagged in firing a cannon, and to make
the report louder filled it up with
gravel and small stones. Just as the
cannon exploded young McMullen
stepped in front of it and received the
charge in the leg. He was carried
home and DR.. Niles called, who dressed
the wounds. He was obliged to cut
out part of the charge. which was em-
bedded deep in the calf. The leg was
badly burned also, and 1t Is needless
to say that the boy will spend the
Fourth in bed.
The second accident occurred to
James, the little son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hugh Wylie. The little fellow had
been busy preparing a monster kite
to send up on the Fourth, and was
trying 1t when the accident happened.
The kite falling suddenly and hitting
the boy upon the forehead. An artery

His Opiuion of OLD Maids.

II find that the older women grow
the more they love to be fiattered,"
quoth a cynical old bachelor, and when
they become really passe you cannot
lay 1t on thick enough. They will
swallow everything that is told to them.
How 1t makes me laugh to see the old
beaux and fine ladies bowling and
Sinking and complimenting each
other In the same strain that they
adopted when they were fresh and
blooming twenty-five years ago, with
out apparently realizing that Time has
played havoc with the womens charms,
and that the manly proportions of the
youths have been changed into the RI
diculous figures and bald heads OF ad-
vanced middle age. And yet a woman
who has once been a beauty will be-
lieve she Is beauty to her dying day,
and have heard these elderly DANES
discuss what Is becoming as eagerly az
group OF debutantes. Poor old thingsl
cannot help thinking to myself after
all 1t Is a merciful Providence that per.
mits us to dance. as 1t were, on the edgs
OF grave. and to feel the instinct OF
eternal youth, Notwithstanding the in.

Booths Cantor Is Dead.

Lieut.. Luther Il. Baker, who, as an
officer in the government detective
service, had charge of the party which
captured j. Wilkes Booth, the assassin
of President Lincoln, died at lansing,
aged GO years. Lieut.. Baker was the
first to strike Booths trail as he crossed
the Rappahannock. He demanded the
assassins surrender at the barn. He
was also the first person to reach Booth
after Corbett had shot him, and re-
ceived his dying message to his mother.
The horse "Buckskin" which Baker
rode on the occasion of Booth capture,
died at Lansing few years ago. and
his stuffed frame is in the museum at

STORM IN MICHIGAN.
20 PEOPLE KILLED IN THREE
COUNTIES.
Mt Clemens, Ortonville, Metamora, Oak
wood and Thomas Severely Stricken
The Last Four Practically Wiped Out
Of Existence.

1t is seldom indeed that any portion
of Michigan is visited by such tor
nado as swept over the counties of Oak
land, Macolnb and Lapeer. 1t was a
storm of Kansas cyclone fury. 1t
struck about half a mile north of the
village of Ortonville and travelled
swiftly eastward. It's path was about
a mile wide, and everything had to
give way. In the townships of Grove
land and Brandon it is reported that
more than dozen persons were killed
and twice as many hurt. The village
of Thomas, on the Bay City division of
the Michigan Central railroad, was
swept away. From Thomas the wind
struck off to the southeast, and the
village of lakewood is also reported
to have been swept away. Ortonville
reported about II to 20 people killed
and scores of houses wrecked. The path
of the cyclone was then through Ma
comb county, and reports from Mt.
Clemens are to the effect that many
buildings were destroyed and several
persons seriously injured, four prob
ably fatally.
The telephone and telegraph wires
were all torn down, and the only data
of the work of the cyclone is furnished
by survivors who hurried to the near
est towns. But from comparison of
their stories it seems certain that from
20 to % lives have been lost, and at
least 100 injured.
At Mt. Clemens a clean path of ruin
was cut through the city. 1t dealt
with dwelling houses as though they
were mere toys, lifting them from their
foundations, topping them over and in
some cases utterly demolishing them.
A number of persons were buried in
the ruins and IL injured, but probably
only one fatally, Mrs. Anna Pohl Her
three sons, aged IA, IL and 10, are
among the injured, the others being
Russell Carter, his wife and babe, Mrs.
Joseph Harter, Mrs. VIM. Ormsby,
Mrs. Anna Belle Teabo and Gustave
Cutche.

TWO NEW BISHOPS.
The Methodist General Conference Names
McCabe and Cranston.

The struggle at the general NJ. r.
was prolonged and interesting. But
on the fifteenth ballot Chaplain McCabe
was chosen. A wild scene then fol-
lowed which continued until "Bishop"
McCabe had mounted the platform and
made few remarks, but begged to be
REUSED from talking. The drift was
then toward Rev. Earl Cranston. The
sixteenth ballot was soon announced,
resulting in the election of DR.. Cranston
as the second bishop. Another enthu-
siastic scene followed.
Rev. Charles c. McCabe, ID. d.. was
born in Athens, o., Oct. Is, 1896. and
was converted when a boy eight wears
of age. He was educated at Ohio Yves
leyan university, entered the Ohio con-
ference in 1860. In the fall of 1869 he
enlisted as chaplain in the One Hun
dred and Twenty-second Ohio infantry
and at Winchester, Va, was captured
and sent To Libby prison, where he re-
manned for four months. At the close
of the war he re-entered the pastoral
work. In the centenary year he served
as agent for that interest, and in 1868
he was appointed agent of the Church
Extension society. A chief work of
his has been in raising loan fund in
which he was eminently successful.
He was honored with the degree of
doctor of divinity some years ago, but
is more Familiarity known as Chaplain
McCabe.
DIR. Earl Cranston was born June 81,
1910, at Athens, O. His education was
obtained at Ohio university at Athens.
He enlisted in the u. 5. army and rose
to the rank of captain of the Sixtieth
Ohio volunteer infantry and is now an
honored member of the military order
of the Loyal Legion. His service in
the church after the war was in Ohio
conferences, then at Evansville, Ind,
Jacksonville, H., Winona, Mimi, and
Denver, Col. where he was presiding
elder. In 1884 DIR. Cranston was
chosen to succeed Bishop Walden as
one of the book agents of the Western
Methodist book concern in Cincinnati.
He has held that position until now.
DR.. Cranston has always held rank as u
pulpit orator.

of the latter's family seriously injured.
At Cushing Harris Mcintyre and daugh-
