TRINITY'S NOVEL SERVICE.

Conducted by Rev. DIR. Scruggs and
Chaplain Bolton of end Illinois.
The last meeting of Trinity Methodist
congregation prior to the annual confer
ence, which meets at Hawkinsvlle, was
held last night. The Second Illinois band
furnished music for the service, which
was as interesting and profitable to the
congregation, probably, as any for some
time at that church.
Rev. Dr. Bolton, chaplain of the Sec
ond Illinois Regiment was present, and
aided in the service, one of the features
of which was a collection. 1t is the de-
sire of DR.. Scruggs to have the entire
amount of Trinity'S assessment raised be-
fore he goes to the conference, and it is
thought he succeeded in getting it. After
the band had played several selections, in
which the congregation joined in song,
DR.. Bolton explained the object for which
the collection was to be taken. He told
the amount that was needed. There were
NOT a great many responses at first, but
when the congregation was impressed with
the Importance of the collection everybody
gave freeley. DR.. Scruggs feels sure he
will go to conference with the funds to
nav the churchs assessment.
The music by the band was highly COM
nlinented. The music inspired the ccngre-
eation to sign, and when the old familiar
HYMNS were announced the church was
filled with music.

THE PRESIDENTS TRAIN.
McKinIey's Southern Tour Will BE
Made I'm a Palace AwheeI.

The Central Railroad has rendered
special service for the Presidents train
when he comes to Savannah. 1t is prob
able that the chief executive of the nation
will come here from Alabama. as it is ex-
pected that he will visit points in that
state after leaving Atlanta. In that event
it is thought his train will be taken by
the Central at Opelika and brought to Sa-
vannah by way of Columbus and Macon.
President Mckinley viii travel in the
finest train ever gotten together. The
finest cars of the Pullman company will
comprise the train. and every effort will
be madesbv the officials of the Southern
Railway, who are arranging for the trip
to secure such a train as will be COM
pliment of the road to the President There
will be a private car for the use OF the
President and Mrs. McKinley-the finest
private car that has ever been made in
America. This is the "Campania," and 1t
has been secured by the Southern from
the PULLMAN company because it is con-
fessealy the finest car that has ever been
turned out from these great works.
There will be one or two compartment
sleeping cars and one drawing room sleep
ing car-perhaps more; but this will de-
pend on the size of the party, which has
not yet been definitely settled. In addi-
ton to these there will be an elegant diner
and a baggage car.
1t was found on THE Presidents trip
West that this arrangement of having
drawing room cars relieves the congestion
which might result if the only drawing
room were that in the Presidents car, and
for long journey meets the requirements
better than any other arrangement that
has ever been made by the railroad Off
Gals in preparing their trains for the
presidential party. In this way the Pres1-
dent and Mrs Mckinley can have their
car entirely to themselves should they so
desire, or can have such members of the
party With them as may suit their fancy,
and the rest of the party will have magnl-
fcent accommodations al the same time
The train will leave Washington over the
Southern Railway between 2 and O'Clock
on the afternoon of Dec. 10 and will arrive
in Atlanta about 8 o'clock on the morning
of the 14th.

CAT VERSUS COYOTE.
A Lively scrimmRge In which the
TOmcat Was victorious.


From the Idaho Daily Statesman.
A Boise gentleman passing over the sage
brush plains near Meridian the other day
was treated to an exhibition that was as
strange as 1t was interesting. 1t was a
battle between cat and coyote.
1t was early morning, and plainly the
nights proving over the prairie had nett
ed the coyote nothing in the way OF good,
square feed. When first seen he was
stealthlly gliding about, his nose to the
ground, searching, as they always are, for
something to appease his insatiate appe-
tite. He stopped and was surveying the
surroundings from a slight knoll, when
there appeared on the scene q great tom
cat, a burly fellow, who also seemed on
a quest for breakfast--some toothsome
morsel, as a cottontail or a young grouse.
When Tom hove in sight the coyote smil-
ed a satisfied smile All things come to
the patient, he must have thought; and
at once he prepared 10 take unto his inner
self the bounties that nature provided.
Tom had not at first seen the coyote; in
fact, was not aware that foe was. near
until the first charge, when the coyote
sprang at him. But, quick as "a fash, he
paired the first thrust, then squared for
action. With back up and fur on end, the
slaU-ht.
Ruhianlike, the coyote plunged into the
battle intent on bearing down his antago-
MIST with brute force alone, and this prob
ably saved the day for Tom. This time
Tom got in left swinging blow on the
coyotes jaw, getting first blood; then
jabbed with the right, bringing the coyote
10 a stand The coyote went to his cor
ner under a sage brush, bleeding.
In the second round, the coyote sprang
into the fight much as In the first and with
about the same result to him. The cat up
percut him as he rushed in, then, swing
ing, mauled him with left and right until
the cir was fun Of brown-gray hair. The
round was furious throughout, with honors
clearly for Tom.
The coyote might have been counted oui
IL the gophers that watched the bout had
counted. He deliberated long before COM
ing in for the third round, but his belly
ruled his mind and to the scratch ne cssms
slowly this time, Tom was ready and rush
ed the fight He crowded the coyote and
backed him over the knoll, planting a
left or a right whenever and wherever he
pleased. Finally after much sparring Tom
got in the deadly knockout blow. The
fight was his, but he took no mean advant.
age When the coyote was down he stood
over him giving more than the limit OF
time for him to come up but CAMS latran.
Is had enough. He SUNK away 10 his sage
