CHAPLAIN AsTRIDE A MULE.
story OF an Omcer of the Cloth and
His Mount.

story Of an Omcer of the Cloth and
His Mount.
The officers of one of the regiments
have been considerably amused by the eff
forts of their chaplain to secure a mount
for regimental parades. The officer of
the cloth is of fne physique and a grace
full rider. He would do credit to any horse
he might bestride, but they are few out
at his camp and he has trouble in secur-
ing charger to bear him through all the
martial splendor of a parade.
The chaplain has a horse, but he Is in
the pasture. There is a little story con-
nected with this. 1t was all the fault of
the colonel, the officers say. He rode the
animal too hard one day, and it was too
much for the beast. He got off his legs
and the pasture was the best thing for
him. The colonel.is a dashing sort of an
officer, with an eye for appearances, and
he wanted to make a nice show. He had
to come into the city two or three times,
and, as he was in a hurry, the fine horse
of the chaplain had to show some of his
best PAGES.
The chaplain has been nearly as sore
as his horse over his having to send him
to the pasture to recuperate. He has miss
ed the beast, too Regimental parades
have been an unknown quantity to him
on several occasions because he could not
get anything to ride.
The other afternoon the chaplain looked
up the regimental quartermaster An
earnest conversation followed, and the
chaplain worked things so he could get a
mount. He sent his saddle and bride, all
in good order, neat and clean, around and
had the animal fixed up in good style for
the parade. His appearance on the field
created a sensation.
The colonel is a great stickler for every
thing military. He wants things just 50
in his camp and the horses must be nice
ly groomed on parades He appreciates
the impression made upon visitors by a
good show on such occasions and likes to
have things run smoothly and a la mill
taire 1t is said he was disconnected when
the chaplain rode out on the field astride
of a scraWny little mule that has been
working in the lead of one of the army
teams for eight months. The chaplain sat
on his animal with his accustomed grace
bore himself with an erectness in the
saddle that comported but i'll with the APP
pearance of his Rosnante. The chaplain's
legs were a little long for the mule, and
the feet of both were mixed up together
| An arrangement had been made by the
chaplain with the quartermaster by which
he was to be allowed to keep the mule in
the officers stables in the place of his
horse that is on the pasture. The animal
enjoyed this exceptional privilege for one
of his kind for about an hour Then, it
| is said, an orderly came around with in
structions from the colonel that the chap
lain was not TO make his appearance on
dress parade again mounted on a mule.

BISHOP BECKER CRITICALLY ILL
Rev. Father Kelley UnexpectedIy
Called to Atlanta.

Rev. Father Kelley UnexpectedIy
Called to Atlanta.
Rt. Rev, Bishop Becker is critically Ill
in Atlanta. News of his illness was re-
ceved in Savannah yesterday in a tele-
gram summoning Rev. Father Kelley to
the bishops bedside. He left for Atlanta
last night and will probably remain there
until there is some change in the bishops
condition.
As the telegram to Father Kelley was not
very explicit. It is impossible to tell the
exact nature of the bishops illness, or
whether there is much reason for fear
1t was requested that Father Kelley come
to Atlanta at once saying the bishop was
critically i'll.
Morning News representative called
at Father Keleys residence last night
but the Vicar-general had already gone to
the train. Inquiry was made as 10 the
bishops condition, however, and 1t was
learned he had been confined to his bed
since the first of the week. The attack
seems 10 have come upon him without a
great deal of warning.
The earnest hope is expressed that the
facts are of less serious import than the
telegram implies. As the bishop is strong
and robust, and was in the best of health
up 10 the time he was taken i'll, it is
thought he may be able to survive any
ordinary attack. He has been in Atlanta
some time looking after the interests of
a church there

Hon. Daniel e. Beatty, OF Washington,
New Jersey, the great Organ and Piano
Manufacturer, is building ana shipping
more Organs and Pianos than ever. In
1870 Mr.. Beatty left home penniless
plow-boy. and by his indoE,itable will
he has worked his way up so as to sell so
far. over 100000 of Beatty's Organs and
Pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to
dishearten him; obstacles laid in his
way, that would have wrecked an ordi-
nary man forever, he turns to an adver-
tisement and comes out of it brighter
than ever. He was mayor of Washing
ton, New Jersey from 1879 to 1883, five
terms, and recently declined q renomi-
nation for the sixth term. His instru-
ments, as is well known, are very popu-
lar and are to be found in all parts of
the world. We are informed that dur
ing the next ten years he intends to sell
1000 more Of his make; that means a
business Of $2O,000,000, if we average
them at 500 each. 1t is already the
largest business of the kind in existence.

Where Fearing Ceases.

Lord Rayleigh in recent lecture
said that experiments had shown that
a vibration Of sound having an anapli
tude of less than observation-disclosures
of centimeter could still affect the
sense OF hearing. Such a vibration
would be so short that it would have
to be enlarged 100 times before the
most powerful possible microscope
could render it visible, supposing that
it were susceptible CT being seen at
all. Old people, he said, do not hear
high notes which are audible to young
persons, and there is reason to believe
that babies hear notes which are in
audible to their elders.-Youth's Com
panion.

rama, who is at the head of the Span
ish spy bureau in Montreal, recently
wrote letter to the minister of marine
at Madrid in which he criticised Adj
lniral Camara and predicted the ulti-
mate defeat of Spain. The letter was
secured by United States secret service
detectives and is published. Carranza's
utterances are said to be reasonable,
and he may be executed if he ever rs,

spy system which he is conducting and
refers to proposed naval attack on
