ANOTHER RAZOR SHARP.
Represented Himself as Barber and
offered His Tools for SnIc.

Another razor fakir was picked up
by the police yesterday. Like the one
arrested last week he went about rep
resenting himself as a barber in hard
luck and offering to dispose of razors
for anything he could get for them.
Five razors were found on his per-
son. All of them bore the appearance
of having been used, but the police are
of the opinion that the fakir honed each
of them a little to wear off their new
ness and make 1t appear that they had
been used in a barber shop, which
would be guarantee that they were
of good quality.

LACK OF FREEDOM.

LACK OF FREEDOM.
His address principally went to show
the lack of freedom which exists in
most of the churches of the day. He
cited glaring instance in the removal
of the pastor of the Park Avenue
Presbyterian church. Philadelphia, be-
cause he announced a sermon on THE
Devil and His Works" Mr. Bird also
read extracts tending to show THE
decentralization of affairs and things
generally, one of which stated that in
the Pennsylvania state legislature
there is one gambler, one base ball
umpire, one preacher, eighteen who call
themselves gentlemen, nineteen with
out any occupation, twenty-seven
lawyers, one pugilist; three members
have been acquitted of larceny, one
for murder, three were In insane asy-
lums, eight have taken the Keeley cure
and four have secured divorces from
wives. This is the makeup of the
present legislature.
The sermon was of this nature all
through and was listened TO with in
terest. After the sermon the plans for
organizing a church were discussed. 1t
will be called the Peoples Christian
Prohibition church. Meetings will be
held every Sunday until such a time
as enough money can be collected to
start a church building. A large sum
of money was subscribed yesterday by
those present and Mr.. Bird has secur-
ed other pledges for support from out
side persons in this city. Most of those
who were at the meeting yesterday sig
niiied their intention of joining the new
church.
The object of the new church is tC
prohibit all evil" Not only will in
temperance be fought but all forms
and shapes of sin. There shall be nc
no moderation whatever. TT will be
an honest church." said one of the
sympathizers yesterday. He placed the
emphasize upon the word honest, u
with the inference that most churches
do not possess that virtue.
He stated yesterday that If the
church under establishment becomes a
fact he will become it's first pastor
He is an ardent Prohibtionist. He
preached last evening on the topic
The Right Gospel for the Times"
The right gospel meant the gospel OF
intolerance for all things evil.

Hendricks sat smoking beside Welsh
all the way down town. He seemed SC
deeply thoughtful that Welsh was
afraid to disturb him. Presently, how.
ever, Hendricks sighed, looked into the
captains expectant face, and said:

THE IRONY OF FATE.

He had fought in many battle and es-
capped without a wound;
He had met stampeded cattle and had
bravely held his ground;
kIe had hunted in Montana and been SHOW
bound on the plain,
And he'd sojourned in Havana when the
plague was raising Cain.
He had crossed the stormy ocean many
times without mishap:
He'd recovered from potion fixed up by a
jealous Jap.
fIe had been a reckless rover from the
moment of his birth,
And had travelled almost over every por-
ton of the earth.
He encountered every danger that you've
ever read about;
He had been Texas ranger and a reck-
less army scout.
But the moral, If there's any, in this
humble little tale.
Is that he died from stepping on an ancient
rusty nail.
