$500 FOR THEMUSTACHE.
A Minister Sacrifices His Upper Lip
Adornment for the Mission
ary Cause.

Reading, July 2O.-The Rev. A. T.
Peck OF Denver, Col, was one of the
chief speakers at the Mennonite camp
meeting at Royersford during last week.
He had very large mustache which
was not liked by the plain, SHAW
en- brethren of the eastern Mennonite
persuasion. Finally one of the rich
brethren of the Schuylkill Valley in jest
offered $500 cash for the mustache. Mr..
Peck smiled at the offer, and, also in
jest, said he'd take it. The matter
then took a more serious turn, and be-
fore the day closed it was understood to
be a bargain.
This morning Mr.. Peck appeared in
the pulpit without his mustache. He
said he desired more to please his
brethren than accept the cash, but that
as he had place for the money among
the Christian poor of the west, he
take the purse and do a great deal of
good with it. His mustache was wrap
ped in tissue paper and handed to
Brother Diller, and check for the
money was rendered, drawn on a Nor
ristown bank. The minister thinks any
clergyman in the land would take a
clean shave at such price for the mis-
SiOnarY cause.

CROSS-EYED WITH RAGE.
A Connecticut Banker Wants Kansas
Blotted Out.

Bank Commissioner Breidentha1 re-
ceived letter today from
Western Kansas banker, which he, in
turn, received from a Connecticut finan-
cier. The author is a stakeholder in the
bank, and the letter is one in reply to
one inviting him to meeting of the
stockholders, and informing him of the
reorganization of it's capital under the
law of 1897. This law provides that where
the property and securities of bank had
shrunk in value that the resources of The
bank should be adjusted accordingly. This
is considered one of the most fair, just
and wisest laws passed by the last legis-
lature.
The law does not, apparently, suit the
eastern stakeholder. He writes a most
vicious and rancorous letter on the sub
ject. He calls the law Populistic, repu-
diation, and all the other appellations that
his hate of Kansas could inspire. He says
he will not attend or permit any of his
friends to do so for fear he may be con-
tan1inated with the thievery and rascali-
ty of the Kansas people. Il can't under
stand" he says, why God should permit
such a state to prosper, but all is not over
yet
Here he expresses the hope that the hot
winds and drought will blast the crops
not yet matured, so that at the end of
the year nothing may be left of the state
but its foul name.
Mr. Breidenthal will not give the letter
out until he has secured the consent of
its recipient, in which event he will have
it published. with g. reply from himself.

Chicago. July 2O.-Thomas ]. Upton. the
London millionaire, said today: This is
my fifteenth trip to Chicago and yet the
papers say it is my first and quote me in
the style of London fop."
Fifteen women who want husbands tried
to find Mr.. Upton today. He had been
quoted in a New York paper saying he
came here in search of a wife. He is be-
ing flooded with letters and photographs.
THAT absurd report he said, has
given me more trouble and more amuse
ment than anything that ever happened
to me. It's well I left New York when 1
did. To have been obliged to ask for po-
lice protection.
mot that American girls are not as
charming and beautiful as any in the
world he added, calamity, put the idea
of saying that 1 didn't want a girl with
money, L had plenty for both. That's
contrary to all precedent. When a for
eigner comes to America for the special
purpose of marrying an American girl he
is supposed to be stone broke. What do
you suppose my best girl in London will
say when she hears about it?

WHEAT MAY COST A LIFE.
Got in a Farmers Shoe and Caused
Blood Poisoning.

Norristown, Pa, July 20.-Henry B.
Wismer is a well-known farmer of Fred
erick township, near Schwenksville. He
was working in the grain field last week
when a foreign substance got in his boot.
He worked on, however, without taking
it out. When night came and he re-
moved his boots, two grains of wheat
were discovered, and they had made their
imprint on his right instep.
He paid no more attention than to rub
the affected part, and went to bed. Next
morning his limb was sore and stiff. He
applied tallow and started for Philadel-
phia market. En- route he suffered Sc
we're chill, and became violently ill. He
employed a man to drive him about as he
lay In his wagon, and serve his customers.
Friday he went to a Philadelphia hos
pital, had his foot dressed and was con-
veyed home on a stretcher. Blood poison
ing set in and he suffered excruciating
pain, which continued until Tuesday when
the limb showed signs of modification.
Yesterday he was taken to jefferson
hospital, Philadelphia, where the limb was
amputa ted six inches above the knee. His
condition is such that fears are enter
tanned for his recovery.

TRAMPS IN A SWARM.
They Invade South Dakota But Do
Not Like the Country.

Chamberlain, S. D., July 2O.-The large
number of tramps now coming into South
Dakota on the plea that they expect to
procure work in the harvest fields has
rendered it necessary that steps be taken
to protect residents of towns on the main
lines of railroad entering the state from
the strangers opportunities.
Several plans have been adopted by the
authorities of the towns and the most
satisfactory appears to be the distribution
of tickets among the residents. When a
tramp calls at a dwelling for food he is
given a ticket and told to take it to the
chief of police or marshal. That official
requires the applicant to do certain
amount of work on the streets before he
is provided with a meal. A number of
towns have adopted this plan, and others
will do so. Some of the tramps do not
take kindly to this scheme.

ACTOR zACCONI COMING.
The Great italian Engaged for Long
Season of Performances in Am erica

New York, July 2O.-Ermete Zacconi, the
distinguished Italian tragedian, has been
engaged for two years by Carl and Theo-
dor Rosenfeld, who first brought Flea
nora Duse to this country. Signor Fac
conf is a famous actor in his own coun-
try, and his appearance last winter in
Austria carried his reputation beyond the
frontiers of Italy. He was engaged by
George Eduardes for a series of perform
ances in London last spring, but he was
unable to keep the contract. He is I'M
der contract to the Rosenfelds to
give 800 performances and he is
to receive 100000 for them, as well as a
portion of the profits beyond a certain
sum.
Virginia Ritter, who, in spite of her Ger
man name, is Italian actress of con-
siderable fame in Italy and South Amer
lea, has acted great deal with Signor
zacconi and will probably visit this coun-
try with him.

TOMBSTONES FOR WALKS.
Cincinnati Mar Trying to Find Epi-
taphs of Ancestors.

tapnS OF AnCeSGOrS.
Mohawk. N. Y. July 20.-M. M. Shoe
maker of Cincinnati is here trying to
find the tombstones of his ancestors
who fought in the revolutionary war.
From about the year 1776 to that of
1910 the hill next to and directly west
of the old Shoemaker homestead, now
owned by David Spencer, was used as
a cemetery, and was called the "Shoe-
maker graveyard"
In 1886 Robert Shoemaker sold the
old home and with his family removed
to Ohio. No attention was paid to the
graves and the headstones were finally
taken down and piled up near an old
stump, from which place they were re-
moved one by one. 1t is believed that
they are in use throughout Mohawk
and Ilion as pavements for walks, Gel
lars and yards, probably with their in
Scriptions turned down.
Mr.. Shoemaker is trying to trace
these lost tombstones, but has SO far
been unsuccessful.

CARNEGIE FINE PAID.
Ex-Secretary Herbert Corrects Sen
ator's Sweeping Remark.

Washington, July 20.-Ex-Secretary
Herbert said today that the statement
made recently in the senate that Presi-
dent Cleveland had RENTED the heavy
penalties imposed upon the Carnegie
company for furnishing defective armor
to the government was not correct.
Mr.. Herbert explained that, after three
months of investigation, he determined
to inf1ict a fine of about $4,000 on the
firm for fraudulent practices, and that he
so informed the president.
An appeal was taken to the White
house, however, by the armor people, and
eventually the fine was cut down to $144,-
900 and paid up, and receipts for it are
held by the company.
