A Problem to be Solved.

The Normalites who have had
their minds refreshed recently, can
figure on the following problem
and send MS the answer for publ
cation. The first correct answer
reaching us will appear:
Mr.. B, died leaving an estate
worth $1,000. His will directed
that if his widow gave birth to a
son, then the son,should have two
thirds and the mother one third
but if shogaye birth 10 a daughter,
then the daughter should have one
third and the mother two-thirds.
1t turned out that both son and a
daughter were born. How much
should the mother, son and daugh-
ter each receive?

Forks of Water Picnic.

About five hundred persons gath
cred at the Forks Of Water on the
4th and spent an enjoyable day,
which, however, was slightly mar
red by a heavy shower Of rain and
rnoi'istic encounter, both of
which took place at the same time
Those who were sheltered in vehi-
cles and under trees and did not
care to get wetting, were depriy-
ed of the pleasure Of witnessing this
feature Of Highlands celebration
day. Having previously been heat
ed from within, the pugnacious
participants did not go through a
cooling-of process OH account Of
the rain, but tumbled around.
Knocked and kicked in a thorough
ly patriotic manner until finally
separated without any lives being
lost. A justice of the peace with
lots Of sand should be constantly
in attendance upon such gather
ings. The leading people Of the
community entertained the crowd
nicely. and especially would VIC
mention the bountiful dinner
spred for the members Of the High
land Cornet Band by Messrs. Gee.
and Jacob Handkerchief and An
lerson Poflinbarger, to which the
boys were not slow il catching on
and holding on.

WARGO FIRED TO KILL.
McDOnOush, of Fourth Street,
Had u Narrow Escape.

Martin McDOnough, of Fourth street,
last Saturday night attempted to pass
off a button on Hotelkeeper John Wargo
in payment for a consumed glass Of beer
and when Wargo objected McDonough
stole the glass wherein the beer was.
The result of all this was q fracas.
Wargo's place of business is on Fifth
avenue. At about o'clock McDonOugh
entered the saloon and called for beer.
He drank it and placed the button on
the bar. Wargo said:
This is not the first time you have
done this, you must pay"
Then McDonough took the beer glass
in his hand and started for the door.
There Wargo met him and as the hotel
keeper is the stronger the glass was re-
taken. Then McDonough went outside
and fired stones through the windows
of the hotel. He also selected large
cobble and going into the saloon cut a
deep cash in Wargo's head, as the lat
ter stood behind the bar. About this
time Wargo's twenty-year-old son came
around and, seeing his father assaulted.
he drew revolver and fired at McDon-
ough.
The shot missed its mark though
young Wargo says he meant to kill.

SINGER CAUSED TROUBLE.
Police Summoned to the Greek Catholic
Church on the South Side to
Prevent q Disturbance,

An epidemic of church troubles ap-
pears to be in the atmosphere among
the foreign speaking Catholics of the
city. Rev. n. Chanath. pastor of the
Greei: Catholic church on the corner of
Irving avenue and Hickory street,
South Side, telenhoned for the police
yesterday afternoon to take steps to
suppress a threatened outbreak.
Patrolman John Saltry was on day
duty as desk sergeant and he sent word
to the South Side station to Lieutenant
IanS, by whom Il squad of police was
detailed. The storm clouds hovered
overhead for awhile and then passed
away without doing any mischief
In the Greek Catholic church the or
gan is not used. and at the services
there is a man called the singer who
corresponds to the organist in other
churches 1t is the singers duty to lead
the congregation in the psalms. Usually
a man is paid a good salary to fulfill
this office, for it Is not everyone that
can do it properly.
The congregation and trustees met
yesterday morning In the church base
ment after mass to elect a singer, there
being vacancy. 1t is the custom for
the pastor to advertise in newspapers
published in the language of these peo-
pie for a singer. The salary that is to
be paid is stated and other information
that is necessary.
In pursuance of this advertisement
four applications were received by
Father Chanath. and it is a rule that no
one outside Of those who send in their
applications in regular form duly re-
Ceived by the priest can be selected as
singer. But at the meeting there was a
minority in favor of selecting one who
had not sent in his application.
A majority of the congregation and
trustees, however, elected John Paul
isinec, who arrived here lately from
the old country. The minority wanted
Alexander Zrabely, now Of New York,
hut who two years ago was singer in
this church, and was ousted by the
very men who sought to reestablish
him.
Notwithstanding the fact that IRA
belly was turned down by a large ma
jOrity the malcontentS threatened to
come to the afternoon vespers and have
him lead the singing. Father Chanath
refused to come out of the house and
otficiate with Irabely as singer, and for
fear of clash between both sides the
police were sent for. The adherents
of Zrabely did not press their action
and the trouble was averted.
