TO CONVERT INeERsoLL.
st. Louis Man Feels Called Upon to
Bring the AgnOstic to Christ.

MAN UPON 70
Bring the ASnostic to Christ.
Joseph Bloomfield jackson, of ST.
Louis, claims to have been inspired to
the task of converting Robert G. In
gersolL The plan, as he claims it was
unfolded to him when he awakened
from sleep on the afternoon of April
%, is to get the great pagan to pro-
nounce a certain invocation which he
claims was impaired to him by the Holy
Spirit. Should Mr.. Ingersoll consent
to repeat the invocation Mr.. Jackson ex-
poets the power of God to come upon
him, as it came upon Saul of Tarsus
over 1900 years ago, and that the ag-
nostic will become faithful servant of
the God whom he has reviled for so
long. The conversation is to occur be-
fore the end of October. Mr.. Jackson
believes that God is already working
upon the heart of Mr.. Ingersoll, prepar-
ing it for the reception of the message
which he will take to him as coming
from God.
Mr.. Jackson is successful business
man, having worked his way up from
an office boy. He claims to be a MEM
Der of the Mercantile club, and says that
he has paying business, which he will
abandon to go about the duty which
he claims God has called him to per-
form. He lives at the Terminal hotel,
and has a wife, who is now in Pitts
burgh, Pa, visiting relatives, one of
whom is her uncle, j. NJ. Guthrie. Both
Jackson and his wife have been MEM
bers of the Centenary Methodist Epis-
copal church of ST. Louis for two years,
but until now jackson has never been
particularly enthusiastic in religious
work, although he has always been a
regular attendant at divine service. He
is intelligent, well educated and per-
feet gentleman in every way.
Mr.. Jackson is 80 years old and was
born in Newark, N. j., coming from one
Of the oldest families there. His great
grandfather was Presbyterian minis
ter. 81 am the last of my line" he said,
land believe that unworthy as / feel
myself to be God has chosen me as au
instrument for this great regeneration
which is to be worked in Ingersoll."

STOPPED BY AN ALLIGATOR.
Hcarse Attacked While Procession
Was Crossing n Florida Greek.

Was Crossing n Florida Greek.
Word comes from Twin Lakes, some
distance west of Jacksonville, Fla, that
a 15-foot alligator appeared in new
role at Hampton creek. Mrs. Henry
Thomas had died, and the body was
being taken to the cemetery across the
creek. The creek is about three feet
deep. AS the hearse reached the mid
die of the water an alligator dashed
from the bank and began circling
around the horses. The horses ran
away, broke loose from the hearse, and
dashed to the bank, leaving the hearse
and driver in the middle of the stream.
The alligator then attacked the horses
in one of the buggies behind the hearse.
Saul Jackson's black horse showed
fight, and the alligator bit his leg. The
horse overturned the buggy, throw
ing Mrs. Jackson and two girls into the
water. They managed to get to the
shore in safety. One of the men went
back half mile and borrowed rifle
from a neighbor, came back, and after
six attempts, shot the alligator dead.
1t was nearly Is feet long.

bees Tint Get Drunk.

The Journal of Botany contains a
note on the drunken habits of certain
bees, which find their intoxicantin the
honey of certain flowers. The intoxica-
ton is not the result of accident, but
the deliberate choice of these dissolute
creatures. 1t is also noticed that on re-
covering from a debauch bee immedi-
ately returned to the same flowers,
after which it had to be assisted home
to the hive, where it staggered to its
cell and fell into heavy sleep.

AERoNAUTS PICKED UP AT SEA
Men Supposed to Have Been Lost Tell
n Thrilling Story.

Men Supposed to Have Been Lost Tell
n Thrilling story.
Lee and Frank Stevens, aeronauts, of
361 West Twenty street, New York
city, who, it was believed, were drowned
while making n balloon ascension, were
brought to Long Branch, n. j., on the
schooner Mary Jane, Capt. Conroy.
They were picked up ten miles off Hol-
land light below Sandy Hook. 1t was
their balloon which was seen to drop
into the sea by William Furrie, the
Sandy Hook pilot.
The Stevens brothers say they were
making some experiments in sailing
their balloon, when they were driven
out to sea. They tried to change the
course of their balloon, but without
success. In order to save themselves,
they cut loose from the balloon. Their
car was made of willow and had can
vas covering. The two brothers held on
to this. They were about 400 feet
