A Scotch Highlander, dressed in kits

In the early days OF Wyoming, when
there were but few churches and many
infraetions OF law, a man by the name
Of Barstow. who never knew fear. and
was a devout Christian, was elected to
the Office Of sheriff. Soon after Barstow
entered upon the duties Of his ONCE a
man was convicted for a capital crime.
The fact that there was no minister
within reach preyed upon the mind OF
the sheriff. who undertook to supply
the lack by holding an hours Bible
reading in the condemned mans cell
and praying with him. AS the time for
the hanging approached Barstow be-
came possessed of the fear that he had
not acquitted himself OF the spiritual
responsibility devoIving upon him,
and devised a program that was new
and unique After the victim OF the
laws mandate was placed upon the
platform and everything was in readi-
ness. the sheriff prayed long and fer
vently. Then he called for some one to
start hymn. and man near the plat
form began the only one he knew: II

sung the sheriff busted himself adjust

A question before the late Methodist

A question before the late Methodist
conference was as TO whether women
were necessarily included in the worl
"laymen;" and DIR. Lowther argued log
ically that II not the poor things were
Tot only muzzled in the church, but
crowded out of the resurrection. Why
wouldn't 1t be good idea to drop Paul
for a time and bring into use a little
latter-day justice and common sense?
Paul is not fair; and besides he has
had not only third term, but several
thousand Of them. And what would be-
come Of the church, anyhow, If the
women were to rebel and get up a
church Of their own.

four or five parks, the outcome OF COM
mons which were set aside by the early
settlers. whose wisdom in laying ont
the main street was far in advance OF
their times. Chief among the COM
mons was the training place" after

more than 230 years assemblies, train

Over $50 years ago half an acre OF
the northern end of this common was
reluctantly given up to worshippers
in the Church OF England. Al that
time and long afterward the Presby-
terrain church dominated in Newark.
and in the early days OF the century
there was a binding law In Newark
that none but members OF one OF the
Congregational churches could hold Of

given to the Episcopal church was
erected the small building which was
the tap root OF old Trinity. whose pure
white spire Is now the most pleasing
II not the most imposing object which
strikes the eye in giancing up or down
the thoroughfare. Its ancient quaint
ness makes Trinity far more inter-
esting than the Celebrations which ar
chitects have put upon the exterior OF

dwarfed or deteriorated as an object

Trinity stands alone with public
park crowded with aged trees upon
either side. and recently its i50th an
niyersary was celebrated.
The body OF the church Is homely
and homelike. 1t was built OF red
sandstone from the Belleville quarries
upon It's present site in i7t3, and three
years later II received It's charter from
the Church of England. The original
edifice was sIxty-three feet long and
forty-fiye feet wide. and from Its front
arose a square tower OF stone twenty
feet In width, upon which rested q
white spire Of pine reaching ninety
1--WE feet In the air. Engagements
were made subsequently. rearward and
sideways, but the tower with its arched
entrance was never changed. and II Is
now said TO be the oldest existing piece
Of masonry In Newark. New spires
topped Il at intervals. and each was
higher than its predecessor. but all

tions IL has been the popular supposi.

Full particulars have been received con-
cerning the death at Anaconda, Montana, of
Tom" Brennan, formerly of this place and
Tamaqua and at one time a champion
,printer. For several days there had been a
fire in big fume that carried away the waste
from a smelter Brennan was at the head Of
the fire department to attend and endeavor
to put out the fire. The only way to reach
the place was through tunnel. A line of
hose was laid and Brennan and a man named
Smith took the nozzle. They advanced
about - feet. The water was turned on and
had played on the timberng but a few sec
Onds when there was am explosion the tim
bers gave way and a mass Of hot ashes were
precipilatcd into the flume where the men
stood The victims ran out of the tunnel
with the flesh of their hands and arms
burned so that it hung in shreds and almost
every part of their bodies were scalded.
Brennan inhaled flames and hot air and his
mouth and throat were burned. He died
within Il few hours. Smith died the next
day Mrs. Brennan has decided to remain
at Anaconda, where she has comfortable
home. The deceased was famous as a
sprinter about ten years ago and held the
worlds record for 200 yards, which he es-
tabished in running against time at Allen
town, Pa Ed. Tisdale, at that time cham
pion Of Canada, forfeited to Brennan. Dep
uty Sheriff Patrick Brennan, of Anaconda
is a cousin of the deceased.

The Cyolers, senson.

The already large number of cyclers in
Shenandoah will be materially increased this
season. The weather Of the past few days
has caused the lovers of the bike" to appear
upon the streets and the roads cannot harden
too soon for them. The suggestion has been
made, and it appears a feasible one, that a
stock company be formed for the purpose of
leasing the Trotting park with view to
putting the track in condition for bicycle
races, base ball team could also be
organized and the two attractions would no
doubt pay the investors handsomely. The
suggestion is thrown out to the local wheel
men with view Of furnishing amusement
to the sports and providing suitable track
for cyclers to oXercise their powers.
