There was panic in the Meth
odist church (Salem) last night.
a prOtracted meeting was going
on there, ,-conducted by the pas
tor, Rev. s. w. Henry, and Rev.
MIR. Creech of Chester, and last
might was TO bring it to a close
AS Is always the case there on
such occasions there was an i'm
mense crowd present. About
seven hundred were crowded in
SIDE tne church, including be
tween seventy and 4 hundred
who We're IN the gallery. Just
after services BEGAN, while Mr..
Creech was singing a solo, with
organ accompaniment, some
sleepers gave wav Oh one side of
The church, caused by the weight
on one Of the post that supported
the gallery. Immediately follow
ing the crash there was dead
calm. The next Instant people

on the side on which the break
occurred began 60 spring from
their seats then the whole con
gregation arose en- masse and be-
gan to move Git has long been
thought that the church was not
as safe as it seould be) then here
and there women and children
began to scream-then a panic
seized the crowd and 1T began a
wild, mad rush for the doors. The
ministers and two or three others
who had kept their heads cried to
the paople to SIT down, that there
was no danger. but they were
paid no attention to in fact, they
were not hoard, strong-voiced men
though they are, the noise was so
great. People were talking,
screaming, crying, praying, and
added to it all was the tramping
of hundreds of feet, making a
din and roar that was fearful.
Not being able to get out the
doors, many-men, women and
children-iumped out of the WIN
dows, some boys even Jumping out
the gallery windows, a distance
of about fifteen feet.
In the rush the lamp was
knocked off the organ, but lucki-

it was falling again Editor Hamel
Of kershaw caught it and blew it
out. Had it fallen to the floor it
would have but added to the
panic, and might have caused the
loss OF many lives. That no lives
were lost anyway is "A wonder.
But no one was even hurt, seri
ously. To give an idea Of the
panic a majority, of the people
were IN, a young lady fell near
the door, but nobody stopped to
assist her or to let her up, walked
right over her, all the great crowd
OF that dOor-were like a herd of
cattle on a stampede-thought of
nothing but to keep going. Fortu-
nately, there were no men there.
Through ii all your scribe, pos
sibly because 1t was the only
thing he could do, sat still and
watched the terror stricken
crowd, wondering all the time
Why people do not keep their
minds on occasions like that
wondering also how many people
would be hurt or killed.

AS A TRAVELLING COMPANION.
A New Use Has Been Discovered For the Russian
 Blouse,
From the Washing ton Star.

From the Washing ton Star
 The reason of that new-fangled femin- inc fancy known as the Russian blouse was discovered by Star reporter on a trip from Jersey City to Washington a flew nights ago. The train had just bs- gun to move out of the Jersey City sta- ton when young woman, rather on the "new" order, swung herself aboard. She was almost breathless from hurrying, and, unlike the majority of her sex, was slngularly unhampered by luggage. A neatly rolled umbrella and a jacket were all the traveling gear she carried.
 The young woman occupied a section by herself, and it was apparent that she ccntempls ed retiring, for she requss,ed the porter. with every indication of wear- mess, to make up her berth with all pos spbIe haste Yet was the Siar reporter mildly curious to observe that the young woman had no grip in which it is usual to carry toilet conveniences. He won dered if she contemplated lying down in an immaculate tailor-made shirt and a fashionable Russian blouse.
 AS the making up of the berth neared completion, the young woman rose and proceeded to the layatory. Every one in the car looked at her, for she was ex- ceedingly handsome and possessed a trim liitle figure. Pretty soon she ie- tufneu tO Her sSctiOn,. anu the reporter maryelied more than ever. She was ar cayed in "a black India silk ne egligee, and she carried her blouse over her arm Several observing women exchanged wondering glances, for they, too, had mo- tieed the absence of all luggage, and were puzzled at the transforms ton.
 This fascina ing taveler was the ob- ject of general attention next morning, as the train was rolling into Washington. The young woman sat calmly in her sec- ton, rolling into the smallest and tight est bundle possible the India silk gar- ment. This completed. she closed fold ing comb, put a tooth brush into an oil silk cover, and with a dexterious move menl from underneath, which looked like the stretching of an elastic band the young woman slipped negigee, comb and tooth brush into her Russian blouse. A llapdkeroh,ef and veil soon followed, and To. the traveller suggested one of our West End girls arrayed for a morning stroll on F street, without a suggestive sign of having passed the night on a sleeper.

TRAGEDY IN REAL LIFE
AGraphic Story Concerning ihe Fate of Young
 Lady.

Here Is a graphic narrative from real life showing how many of our friends whom we love, may be on the verge of a great tragedy.
 young girl residing on Madison Ave nue, Nsw York, and who had been in society but a short time, was preparing ito attend a grand ball for which great preparations were being made She was dn her own room on the sscond floor over the panlor, and called down to hsr mother regarding certain matters con nected with her new Giness. The mother answered, but received no response, IdoI. did she receive a wcud of reply to her cont nued answers. The mother thsre- Iore climbed the staifs, and found her daughter lylng dead upon the side of the sofa.
 As is usual in all cases of sudden death, heart disease was assigned as the cause, but careful examination by o-m- potent physicians revealed the tCHTible fact that the young lady met her death from acute BItghts disease of the kid neys.
 The above painful accident Is related precisely as it occurred, the names of the parties emily being suppressed ewing to their promnenceL The story .s related to impress the fact of how many psople there are, apparently in good health and yet actually upon the verge of the grave.

There are certain proprieties attend
ing all stations of life which should
be observed. Those prevailing in the
exclusive and aristocratic strata differ
widely from the ones in usage in the
humber walks of life, but each eX-
treme, as well as the grades between,
is governed by more or less we'll de-
fined rules and regulations, the observ-
ance of which is strictly enforced. 1t
would be just as improper to attend a

combination of the two extremes cited,

from the ice in the Railway river, in
vacant room, at the station, and was
making his report to the captain, when
the words of the hymn: Nearer to
Thee" rose on the air. The patrolman
started from his seat in terror, btlieV-
ing the sounds came from the room
where the corpse lay, but was restrain

frightened, had more command over
himself. As they settled back in their
chairs the words of the hymn were dis
