DIR. A. A. WILLIS.

DR.. A. A. Willis has been for quar-
ter of a century or more in the front rank
Of pulpit orators and lecturers.
He was nearly 80 years one of the mos:
popular pastors Of Philadelphia, thirteen
years the pastor of the splendid West
Arch Street Presbyterian church OF tha.
| city, from which he succeeded in remov-
| ing debt OF over $65o.000.
! He was for seven years the popular
/ pastor OF the Warren Memorial church
/ of Louisville. KY, which he left on ac-
| count OF the health OF his wife. althougi
! the church offered TO double his salary
and make it $4,000 if he would remain.
| He has now removed 10 his country
| seat at Spring Lake, y. j., one OF the
| beautiful seacoast resorts ten miles south
OF Long Branch, and gives his entire
| time TO the lecture field.
| And il is but the simple truth TO say
that no man In that field is more popular
| than Dr. Willis.
He never faces an audience he does not
capture.

bulls and bears. Starting out with a

ever, the market was turned weak |
again by a report indicat ting less def !
ciency in the Russian crop than expect |

point Of the day. December ranged !
from $685. GSs&c and closed at SIC,
against SS5sc last night. A great deal
OF long wheat was thrown over during
the day and sales were heavy, amount

but for the first time on record grief
followed the move. Pierre and Jeanne
were taking their usual morning game
in the sunshine Of the little shop door,
when big brindle stranger appeared
on the banquette without. Straight as
die Jeanne was in her cage and Pierre
had gone in hot pursuit of the brindle-
The chase was hard one, and Nam
zelle says Pierre must have been gone
a long time, but she was busy serving
customers, and by and by noticed
Jeanne hopping about the counter,
Thinking, of course, that Pierre had
returned, she took no further notice
of the bird. A little later, however,
hearing dreadful commotion on the
banquette she ran out to witness the
sad little tragedy which /, too, arrived
just in time to see, but too late to pre-
vent. Taking advantage of Pierre's
protracted absence an ugly-tortoise-
shell from the next block strolled to
the little shop in search Of Jeanne
Finding her out hopping about unpro-
tected, he began siege at once, no
doubt. Mam'Zelle and / arrived just in
time to see the tortoise-shell pounce
on poor Jeanne as she sat perched on
top of the swinging cage and bear her
with him to the pavement. Before
either of us could interpose the deed
was done, and then in moment there
came Pierre rushing round the cor
ner, and as quick as a flash he had
taken in the situation. With one fierce
bound he sprang upon the tortoise
shell and swept poor Jeanne from his
clutches. For brief moment he sat
guarding her, but that moment was
long enough to tell him he was too
late.
Then letting Mam'zelle take the little
corpse from under his paw, he swooped
down upon the tortoise-shell. 1t was
only for little while, and when tho
battle was over both cats lay dead on
the pavement. Pierre had laid down
his life to avenge Jeanne's death, and
the little Mam'zelle mourns both her
pets.-New Orleans Cor. Philadelphia

to refuse aid TO such charity"
Congressman Grout, of Vermont, hav-
ing charge of the bill for the house Of
representatives met the senator's again
and again, daily and almost hourly,
for more than a month. He insisted
that it is unconstitutional to appropri-
ate money from the federal treasury
for sectarian schools or institutions OF
any kind. Time and again the house
of representatives voted to sustain Mr..
Grout, and just as often the senate in
sisted that the charities must be pro-
vided for. Finally, on the last day OF
the session, the house of representatives
agreed to permit appropriations for one
year more, extending until June 30,
1897; and thereafter it is decided that
the charitable Institutions must get
along without government aid. This
compromise was regarded as proper by
all parties; but it is not final legislation.
The friends of the charities will bring
the subject before the congress again
next winter, and the whole contest will
be fought over.

ceived government aid for many years
