FROM SALOON TO CHURCH.
Pastor Feioke Finds Rum Selling an I'm
profitable Business.


profitable Business.
Rev. Julius Felcke, the Jersey City
clergyman who last summer created sem
sation by severing his connection with the
South Bergen classis and opening beer
saloon at Fifth an1l Garden streets, Ho-
boken, has now given up tho saloon and
returned TO the church. He found beer
selling did not pay, and having made his
peace with his ministerial superiors he has
re-entered the pulpit, IN charge Of the Ger
man Evangelical church of Bethlehem, Pa.
Mr.. Feicke is an educated and polished
German. He says hc never could see any
harm in the saloon business If IL was
properly conducted except for the preju-
dice against Ii. On opening his place in
Hoboken he declared that he was forced in
to the business to save his family from
want, his salary as pastor hardly proving
sufficient to buy shoes for them
Feickes venture, however, did not prove
a success. At Grst quite number of peo-
pie were attracted To his saloon by curiosity
to see how the clergyman could mix cock
tail or operate the ale pump, but after the
novelty wore off the place seemed some-
how to be Stunned by the respectable por-
tion of the ne!ghborhood, the people ap-
the clerical saloon combination was not al
together appropriate.
Mr. Feickc has q mortgage Of 81 900 on
the place lie opened last year. Since then
he has managed 10 ray thot off and to clear
only Sl25, which now represents his capi-
tai. He was suspended by the South Ber-
gen classis fer has contumacy in refusing
to live on p!ttance allowed him for
preaching, but made a hot fight on the
question oi Lis right to sell beer If he saw
fit. He propounded n series of Questions
on the subject 10 the classis, but that body
never answered.
The pastors saloon was always moral
place and conducted in the most orderly
manner. I,c has now disposed of it and
has started for Gcthlehem.
The Pastor wife and family are now
living IN New Yer; city. They will join
him In Bethlehem us soon as he Is seated in
his now home. Wow York Journal.

On Thursday evening last ex-President
HARRISON made speech in New York
city.
On Friday morning our esteemed but
hesitating contemporary The journal
commented briefly on the speech. Not
thinking much Of tho man The journal
could not bring itself to say much that
was good about the speech.
The Journals contemporaries, however,
all over the country, were electrified by
the speech. 1t was great speech.
Ii was evidently enough Rpplsuded
by the people. The Journal put its
feet in hot water, drank a mild GIN
ger tea and read its comment on the
speech and found that it had misjudged
tho speech and what was worse had
miscaiculated public opinion more seri-
ously than is usual even with our esteem
ed contemporary. Maybe it even went so
far as to read the speech itself We
trust SO. At any rate, without reversing
its opinion of General HARRISON, it
made haste to correct the impression OF
it's views that might have been gained
from Its comment on the speech OF
Thursday night and on Saturday morn
ing 1t joined with about everybody else
on earth whose opinion is worth any
thing in declaring the speech a first-class
speech.

into line with intelligence and sound
sense, OF abandoning reckless attempt
to kick against the pricKs, we append

Fnrmer John C,einons drove into Water
town. ~ =, tho Other day with a load OF
potatoes Ills spirited horses became
frightened az train and ran away with
out the driver.
Through tie crowded thoroughfaree they
dashed without a mlshap. Following them
up Washington street was nondescript
crowd Of bicyclos, carriages and hacks. 4
Ahead of the runaways was pony cart
drawn by Shetland. Riding in the cart
were four snail children, one the little girl
OF Michael J. ilGney, thc millionaire con-
tractor aud member OF the firm of Ryan
g. Hstey OF Toronto, who built the Sault
Ste. Mario canal. Grctta was driving.
Nearer and nearer the flying team ap-
preached the cart. Standing high upon
tho scat. relns in one hand, the whip in the
other, Grstta, her hair waving behind her,
urged the pony TO greater speed, while the
other three children covered beneath her.
The team, with nostrils dilated, caught
up with tho pony cart, and 1t looked to
those behind as II the runaway horses
would run over it.
Grctta hit the horses noses with the
whip to check their speed and try TO turn
them, and then applied IL to the pony, who
was struggling To carry the children out Of
danger
The runaways Gid not mind the whip,
and then Grctta tried another plan.
She drove the pony from one side Of the
road 20 the other But wherever she went
the runaways followed.
The girl was displaying marvellous cour-
age, and 1t seemed 70 the spectators tlint
she was teasing the runaways.
For mile the race went on. The run-
aways were still behind the pony cart and
the little Shetland was getting winded
from its hard run.
In vain Gretta pounded the -runaways'
faces with the whip. Her efforts 90 shake
them off were unavailing.
As they were about 70 run her down she
turned the pony sharply up side street.
The runaways dashed by, just grazing the
pony cart.
