David Worth vas a man to admire. to
esteem, to love. To a character child
like in it's simplicity there was added
a tenderness hat was womanly, and
that wisdom, strength n firmness in
answering devotion to truth and
justice and right which are thoroughly
manly. In his social intercourse, in his
business dealings, in his relations with
his brethren as a servant of Christ and
leader in the house Of the Lord, he ex-
hibited such qualities and character
istics Of mind and heart as made him
to the eye of his fellows seem wellnigh
faultless and complete. His disposition
and his character were so we'll round
ed, indeed, that one must seek far to
and points Of distinguishing excellence.
We find it in that deep humility before
God and that implicit faith in the
Saviour hat a been justly said to
ave been the spring of his public n
social virtues, his generous works and
his noble benefactions.
"All who knew Mr.. Worth intimately
with ready accord will testify to a
sense Of personal loss. We feel that We
have lost a friend, nay more, a
brother"

Breaking Place Kick Records In Foot Pail

Breaking Place Kick Records In Foot Pail
Chicago, November 25.-Clarence
Hershberger, the full back of the Uni
versfty of Chicago, made a name for
himself in foot ball history today by
making three successful place kicks in
the annua game between the UNIVERSE
ties Of Chicago and Michigan. One Of
them was so difficult that the attempt
would have seemed foolhardy had not
his team been we'll in the lead. One
was made in the first half from the
seventeen yard line, and two in the
second half, one from the thirty yard
line, the ball at the time being right in
front of the goal posts. But the kick
which brought II. 900 people to their feet
occurred about fifteen minutes later.
The ball at the time was not more than
five yards from the side line and
twenty-five yards from the goal and
when the strong Timbed half back and
Gordon Clark dropped back with the
evident intention Of attempting the
play Chicago supporters were amazed.
The ball was passed clearly and Clark
placed it on the thirty-five yard line.
An instant later the ball vas sailing
high in the air. 1t dropped squarely
between the post and a new foot ball
record a ben made. The game re-
suited: Chicago p; Michigan, II.

THE WILD DISORDER

Sitting SusDended

Sitting suspended
Vienna. November 25.-When the
lower hounse of the reichsrath re-as-
day from the scene of unprecedented
disorder, all the ministers were present
and the approaches to the presidential
tribune were blocked, doors having
been erected since the disgraceful
fighting of yesterday in and about the
tribune and throughout the house.
The entrance of the president of the
chamber, DIR. Abrahamovics, was the
signal for loud and ironical solutions,
which were followed by vehement left
lists shouts of Shame"
DR.. Abrahamovics made an attempt
to speak, but DIR. Wolff, the German
nationalist leader, interrupted him by
shouting: Some one else must TAX
the chair, not this ~swindler."
Herr Schoenerer, the leader of a sec
ton of the German opposition, then
yelled at the top of his voice: Il de-
mand the right to speak, which 1 am
entitled to-"
Thereupon Dr.. Wolff retorted: There
lis no such thing as right in this house.
1t is trodden under foot by his Make
lukes."
AS the uproar which followed show
ed every sign of increasing, DR.. Abra-
hamovics adjourned the house until 3
O'Clock this afternoon, amid a storm of
'shurrahs" and ~"bravos."
The sitting vas resumed at $3.50
o'clock. Immediately the leftists COM
menced a tremendous din in the mid
die of which the German centrist, Herr
Falkenhyn, conceived as a happy idea
a proposal to defeat obstruotionists, by
threatening their pockets. He move
that for the future disorderly members
might be suspended for three days by
the president or for thirty days by the
house, during which time their allow
ance should be stopped, while members
refusing to leave the chamber when
requested might be forcibly expelled.
The speech was interrupted with
continuous uprOar, Herr Wolff shout
ing: Let's pitch the Backyard out"
The president vainly called for or
der. Finally Herr Wolff stationed
himself directly in front of the presi-
Dental tribune and began a shrill
whistle. A number of deputies tried
to force open the doors at the front of
the platform, while a party of Czechs
endeavored to prevent them.
When the tumult was at its height,
Herr Abrahamovics declared that he
regarded the motion of Herr Falken-
hyn as a necessary measur of self
defence, and called for the voting. The
whole right at once arose and the
president declared the motion carried.
A number of deputies then began
clambering upon the presidents plat
form, whereupon he seized his bell and
left the house.
After a short interval he returned
and began to address the chamber, but
his voice was drowned in a torrent of
l~eftistic yells and out of Get out"
n Shame" Finally the sitting was
suspended for an hour, at the close of
which President Abrahamovics return
ed and announced that in accordance
with wishes expressed in many quar-
ters, he had decided to close the cit
ting, to open again tomorrow.
