Another Temple May Be Built For Him
In Brooklyn.
A movement has been started by a
few influential men, mostly of New
York, by which it is hoped the Rev.
DR.. Talmage may be induced to return
to this city The authority for this state
ment is former United States Marshal
Charles M. Stafford.
Mr.. Stafford was seen at his residence
recently and asked who were the men
interesting themselves in the movement
to build DR.. Talmage a new church,
and who it was that had stated he was
ready to contribute $4,000 to get Dr.
Talmage back.
Mr.. Stafford answered: 81 cannot
tell you at this time who has offered to
pay down this sum, but may state
that if a proper syndicate be formed for
the purpose of the erection of a temple
for all the people-rich and poor alike
the edifice will be one that will be
creditable to Greater New York. -

Ninety-nine Years Old.

In the little college town of Gran
vile, o., an event of rare occurrence
was celebrated recently. 1t was the
ninety~ninth anniversary of Mrs. Susan
Rose, who belongs to one of Granville's
earliest and most prominent families.
The family unto the third and fourth
generations gathered to celebrate the
event.
Mrs. Rose was born in Virginia, but
the greater part of her life has been
spent in Granville, which she has seen
emerge from the rugged pioneer state
in which she found it to its present
state of progress, it being generally rec
ognized that Granville is not only the
prettiest college town in the state of
Ohio, but at the same time one of the
most progressive. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

1t is announced from Geneva that
Professor Dussaud of the university
there has invented an apparatus to en-
able the deaf to hear. The microphono-
graph he has just issued magnifes the
human voice in the same way that a
lens magnities. 1t is simply a telephone
connected electrically with a phono-
graph, but a far more sensitive phono-
graph than Edison's ordinary model. A
battery of l cell to 60, according to the
degree of deafness, is used. OF course
the apparatus is useless in the case of
absolute deafness, but such an infrmity
is far rarer than is suspected. Ninety
five per cent of SO called stone deaf per-
sons can be made to hear and under
stand by Dussaud's invention.

Congressman COnnell Refused to Pay n
High Rate.
When man waits until he is on the
brink of 70 years of age before he breaks
into congress, one would think that he
was lingering superfluous on the scene.
But Congressman Cornell Of Scranton
will not have it this way. He thinks
that he is good for many years to come.
There is ground for Mr.. Connell's be-
lief. When few months ago he want
ed to add 500, 900 life insurance to the
large amount which he already carries,
the physicians who examined him pro-
nounced him perfect risk for that
amount. Figuring up the premium,
however, Mr.. Cornell found that it
would cost him about $40, 900 a year.
"In five years 500, OOO," said Mr..
Cornell to himself ''No, won't do it.
can put away the amount of the pre-
MUM for five years and be even with
the game. AS matter of fact, I will
live perhaps ten years longer, and 1
will insure myself" So that is what
Mr.. Council has done.
The new congressman used to work
for rs cents day in the mines, but he
was promoted, saved money, has been
successful in his business ventures and
is now millionaire. Washington Post.

COW SWALLOWS A CLOCK.
Chimes of the Timepiece Lead to the Leo
lection of the Culprit.

Chimes of the Timepiece Lead to the LeS
lection of the Culprit.
George A. Newman of Louisville has
COW with an appetite for clocks. A
servant left a small silver clock which
she had been cleaning on the kitchen
steps while she stepped into the house
for moment, but on her return the
timepiece was missing and despite the
most diligent search could not be located
and was given up for lost. Later in the
evening the small boy of the Newman
household was in the yard. Suddenly
silvery chime fioated on his ear. He
listened-another and another, until
five times the chime had sounded, and
he recognized it as coming from the
lost clock. But where was the clock?
There was nothing near but the COW.
The boy searched all around the yard
and then concluded, as it afterward
proved correctly, that the clock was in
the COW. He rushed to his father with
the news of his discovery.
1.-THE cows swallowed the clockl The
cows swallowed the clock!' he shouted
Mr. Newman did not believe the boy.
The latter insisted. So at 5:55 Mr.
Newman went out in the yard and took
his position few feet from the COW.
which was still cropping grass in re-
Elective fashion. In five minutes sill
very chime floated again on the still
air-another and another, and this time
6 sounded. While they were sounding
the COW lifted up her head in that in
quiring style peculiar to COWS and lis
tened When the sounds had ceased she
resumed her browsing, satisfied that she
was keeping right time and did not have
to be wound up
Mr. Newman decided that his son
was correct, and a doctor was sent for
He said that probably the COW had swal-
lowed the clock and that it had not gone
farther than her first stomach. 1t would
not change position until it came time
for the COW to chew it's cud, when the
bovine would be placed in the painful
position of having to chew hard bit
of silverware and steel springs. A pow
erful emetic did the work. The clock
was little ,discolored, but was still
ticking away.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

ENGLISH LAWSUITS.
They Are EA pensive, and the Lawyers De-
mand Big Fees and Retainers.

They Are EA pensive, and the Lawyers De-
mand Big Fees and Retainers.
In England there are many fees to be
paid by the unhappy client of a lawyer
that are unknown here in America.
There is retaining fee, which is a
guinea, and half crown to the clerk,
besides the brief fee, which is more i'm
portant. Then there is the "refresher"
of the leader and the ''refreshers" of
the subordinate lawyers In England
the leaders, refreshment, which is due
after. five hours, the brief fee being sup
posed to cover only the getting up of the
case, is 10 guineas, or a little over $50,
while $25 must be paid to the lesser
lawyers.
According to English etiquette, no
counsel can leave his circuit to plead in
another without a special retainer,
which, in most cases. cannot be less
than 800 guineas. This is probably to
discourage ''poaching."
A would be client once wrote to a
famous American lawyer, stating case
for his opinion and inclosing a $50
note. The lawyer did not reply, where
upon the client wrote a second letter
and received word from the lawyer that
he had read the case and formed an opin-
ion, but somehow it stuck in his throat.
The client took the hint and sent a 500
note, receiving the lawyers opinion by
the next mail.
Nobody does anything for nothing,
especially lawyer. Lord Mansfield
was so sensible of this that ON one occa-
sion, when he had attended to some legal
business for himself, he took some gum
cas- out of his purse and put them in
his waistcoat pocket, to give him the
necessary stimulus. Sir Anthony Ma
lone, an Irish attorney general, was SO
imprudent as to forget this fact and was
grievously punished for it, for he was
so inattentive to some property Of his
that he lost $4,000 year by it, and
in the future he required his clerk to
make abstract deeds of any property he
might buy and lay them before him,
with fee of guineas, properly indoors
ed, which the clerk was to scrupulously
account for, after which Sir Anthony
made no more mistakes in regard to his
own property. Chicago News

Record of a Modern Blueaeard Who Poi
sOned His Wives.
A recent trial in Vienna, which ended
in a sentence of death, showed what an
important part arsenic plays in the do
nestle economy Of the inhabitants of
Syria. A peasant named Schmallefoer
began shortly after his marriage in 1891
to have intimate relations with a serv.
ant, Marie Penisipp, with whose assist
ance he poisoned his wife by mixing
arsenic in her food
He married his paramour, and on her
foster sister, Katharine Millek, then
only Is years old, entering his service
in 1895 he also became intimate with
her and murdered his second wife as he
did the first, by sprinkling arsenic over
pieces of meat on her plate, which,
while she was away, were turned over
i'll order that she might not see the pow
der Oh her return to the table.
The two children, girls Of 2 and 3
years, asked their mother for more
meat, and as she gave it to them from
her own plate the father had to sit by
and see his children eat poison. He man
aged, however, to keep silent in order
not to betray himself. The children re-
covered, but the mother died. Suspi-
cions being aroused, the elimination of
the first wife took place, and, speaking
of it in court, a chemist made the re-
mark that all the village cemeteries in
Syria were full of arsenic. New York

TELL TIME BY TRAINS.
Many Families In Chicago That Are Not
In Need of Clocks.

In Need of Clocks.
Not all residents of Chicago depend
on clocks to keep themselves informed
of the time of day. 1t is perhaps not
generally known that people who live
along the line of railroads can tell the
exact hour Of q day or night by the
trains which pass their homes. Along
the line of the Illinois Central railroad,
for instance, there are many homes
where clocks are an unknown luxury.
In the vicinity of Thirty first street, for
instance, there is a household which is
wide awake at o'clock in the morning.
"We always get up at 211," said a
member of the household to compan-
ion in a street Car the other day.
1.-TWO eleven! What time is that?"
asked the friend.
"Why, I thought you knew" replied
the other, "that 211 is the O'Clock train
which passes the house. AS soon as we
hear the bell on the 211 we all get up.
Then we watch for the other trains.
We can see them pass the house, and as
we are all acquainted with the schedule
we can tell the exact time of day. At
night we tell the hour by the bells on
the engines We are familiar. with the
sounds. No; we have no clock i'll the

remember, and we find train time more

It's blue as the hyacinth
And the wooodbine pink
That the goldbees drink
AS they f1utter about the plinth.
It's an iris of shirtly joy

All the shirtly glee
That is bounding free
In it's certified checks and stripes.
It's dream of the moonlit mead;
It's a symphony of the sea
And tho cocktail red
As the tulip bed
That the shanghai holds in fee.
It's fantasy of the spring;
It's prescience of lilies white,
And our dream it builds
While the lamb it gilds
On the shore of our appetite.
In rosebud garden of shirts
We wander on pinions free,
Where no sweater prowls
And dismally bowls
In it's horrible eldritch glee.

And makes the apple bloom sigh,
And it eufvets along

And flaps its wings
While it blithely sings,
