Superior Court-Civil Side-Judce Hall.
 Yesterday morning Judge E. B. Hall handed down a decision in the suit of Christ church against the trustees of charities and beQuests, The suit is a peculiar one
 It was said when the suit was first brought that it was merely friendly litigation to test whether the trustees sIculd return to the church a title deed which they held on their premises But as it has developed and the trus- tees of donations and bequests have lsistently refused to give up the deed even in spite of the fact that the last Episcopal convention passed a resolution that the trustees reconvey the deed. there has been more or less feeling concerning it.
 Several years ago the Christ church borrowed $1 900 from Trinity church, and not wishing to mortgage their property voted to convey a. title deed Of their church to the trustees of dona- tions and bequests, a society of the Episcopal parish who look out for fec bic churches The debt has since been satisfactorily settled with Trinity church. but the trustees Of donations and bequests refused to give up their title deed, claiming that they cannot.
 Christ church is desirous of mort gazing their church in order to com plete building it, but cannot do so when the title deed to the property is held by the trustees, unless they ob- tain their consent.
 The important part of the decision is iE the last part, which is as follows: "The special act of 1873. amending the act of 1863, under which the defendant was incorporated was not intended to confer upon the convention Of the dio- cese the power to direct the defendant trustees to convey or reconvey proper ty held by the latter. nor did said con vention by it's action in June, 1895. as- sUme to direct. Q reconveyance by de- fendant to plaintiff of the power. The sole purpose of the amendment i of 1873 was to restrict the power of the
 defendant to make such conveyance by ! permitting the defendant to make them only after having received the consent Of the convention of the diocese.
 ''I do not find that the plaintiff re- l ceived any other sums than said sum of ! g. .000 so received from said parish oi
 Trinity church upon condition or agree
 ment that the plaintiff should convey
 said property in trust to the defendant I The convention of the diocese hay l ing given it's consent to q reconvey-

 House of Representatives, U. S,
 Washington, D. C., Jan. :, 1896. Rev. l. C. Meserve, Pastor of the Da-
 venport Congregational Church, New
 Haven, Conn;
 My Dear Sir and Friend
 I have received the resolutions pass cd by the Davenport Congregational church of the city of New Haven on the Armenian outrages, and will present the same to the house this morning and have the matter referred to the com mittee on foreign affairs.
 l am glad our people are awakened in this matter My blood has boiled over these outrages for some time. The fact is, my dear friend, every nation is looking out for itself on the other side. One dare not stir or take active steps in this matter until they know what the others are going to do. The governments on the other side of the way seem to be more for increasing their territorial limits and power rath- CT than for suffering humanity Other wise 100000 people could not have been butchered in Armenia with the guns oi civilized nations almost in full view Some one has said in speaking of for eign governments: vi, arS fal lrny are thrones;
 Their table earth, their dice are human bones."
 Ii would appear to be so in this case May kind Prov dance tnterpose and may 1 all the civilized nations be brought tt the acknowledgment of the fact tha | they have a duty to perform, at leas in bringing about such a moral ant | Christian sentiment among the people: of the earth that outrages of this kint may cease forever. 1 Very sincerely yours, N. D. SHERRY.

Last summer one of our grand child

bic. Our doctor remedies had failed
when we tried Chamberlain Collie,

gave very speedy relief. We regard it
as the best medicine ever put on the
market for bowel complaints Mrs. E.

This certainly is the best medicine
ever put on the market for dysentery,
summer complaint, collie and cholera in
fantum in children. It never fails to
give prompt relief when used in rea-
sonable time and the plain printed d.
rections are followed. Many mothers
have expressed the sincere gratitude
for the cures it has effected. For sale

Squire Bray's Courtship.

Squire Bray of Caswell, a little
town in North Carolina, was hunting
another wife. His first marriage had
been a happy one, dissolved by the
death of his beloved helpmeet.
The Squire had a son named Bob.
Bob was a wild blade, and proposed to
knock his father out of a second union.
In the ~capacious breastpocket of the
'Squire's great coat reposed a pint
ticker, we'll filled, that he only pro-
posed using on his way back from
seeing the widow Brown.
Now, just before he started Bob
slipped the ticker out, and put in its
place a small alarm clock, carefully
wound up and set for II p. m.
The Squire had sat the fire out and
was we'll on with his overcoat, hold
ing the widow hand at the door and
putting in his sweetest ticks at the
last.
eyes, your first husband, my dear,
was one of my best friends, and We II
visit his and my lost Hannah's graves,
won't we, love ?"
"Ah yes, for where vas there a
ter woman than your poor Han
p asked the widow.
"A good woman; she was good
enough, but there's a living one just
as sweet" said the Squire, and he
was drawing her to him for a kiss,
when, whizz-wizz, notwithstanding
withdrawing bang the clock went
off inside of him.
20 lawd II screamed the widow,
"he's shooting to pieces. It's Han
nah's old peanny a playin' inside OF
him!
"She said she'd haunt me She
alters told me so = cried the Squire,
running in a stocp for his horse, with
both hands pressed to his breast and
the clock still striking, ting, ting. He
rode like Old Nick was after him, and
never knew the racket until he felt
for bis ticker and pulled out the little
clock that Bob had bought at auction.
Then he laughed until the tears ran
down his cheeks, but he promised Bob
never to spark another woman, if he d
only keep the joke from the neighbors.
The widow believes to this day that
old MAI Bray is a walking volcano,
and that his dead wife would set the
battery a-going, if ever he went near a
woman again to make love to her.

Evaporation From one Oak Tree.

Scientists who have studied the
situation claim that an oak tree of
average size, with say, 1000 JOG leaves,
lifts into the air from the earth about
1913 tons of water in the five or six
months in which it displays its foil
age. From leaves water is evaporated
and formed into the clouds which sup
ply the rain. Doesn't this make clear
the necessity for more interest in
a%rborculture in this latitude and long
itude, which is now suffering from a
drought of at least two years dura-
ton? In the current year there is a
deficiency in the rainfall amounting to
more than ten inches. Such prolong-
ed droughts have never been known
since an official record of the weather
has been kept. The fact is the water
filters have been cut down and de-
stroyed in the Ohio Valley until the
situation has become serious. The
apparent alternative now is to either
irrigate or restore the forests, as for
ests have been restored in many parts
of Europe Cincinnati Times Star.

Great Diving Feat.

ST.. LOUIS, June 2O.-Albert Baker:
aged 10, who lives with his uncle, j..
W. Ginder, in this city, to-day made
the first dive into the Mississippi
River ever taken from the Eads bridge.
He is a pupil of Prof. Bill Clark, who
has turned out many good divers. For
weeks young Baker has been fired
with an ambition to jump off the big
bridge, and has been practising almost
daily at the Natatorium. He was
particularly anxious to jump head first
and not feet first, as all the jumpers
before him had done. This he did
this morning, and did it successfully,
making the first bona fde dive ever
made from the Eads bridge.
The distance from the top of the
bridge to the water is 125 feet. Baker
struck the water head first, and soon
came up. He swan about 250 feet to
a waiting tug, and was taken on board
withoI, having been hurt.
