The Bridgeport murder mystery presents
another reminder of the fact that posi-
tive identlhcations" are often very far
from being positive. The victim of the trag-
edy was positively identified as being Miss

could be no mistake about it, in his mind.

Joseph Letter could get rid of his debts
quickly by appealing to the new bank
ruptcy law but he says he will do no
such thing unless his creditors press him
too hard. He is now giving notes for
balances due on the famous wheat deal

but as he is an energetic young man he
may, by giving up cigarettes and other
wise denying himself luxuries, soon save
up enough to pay out.

An Alabama exchange says the farmers

wheat next year, instead of buying it of
the West. The conclusion to do so is an

ample of 1t the other day. 1t talked
oranges, and had about all of its CORE
spondents talking oranges, and together

Reports from the orange belt are almost
uniformly favorable and indicate that
the crop of the present season will be
about double that of last season, while

The Rev. DR.. John Hall, pastor Of the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church of
New York, whose death at Bangor, County
Down, ireland, on Saturday has been re-
ported in the dispatches, was one of the
leading ciergymen of this country and pre-
sided over one of its largest and richest
congregations. DR.. Hall was born of Scotch
parents in County Armagh seventy years
ago. His first work as a minister of the
gospel was in Ireland, in which country
he remained until 1867, when he came to
the United States FIRST as a delegate to a
general assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in New York. In that year he re-
ceived a cali from the Fifth Avenue
Church which he accepted. A new church
edifce was built for DIR. Han at a cost
of $1,0O0,000 and for some years he
received a salary of $4,000 per annum.
Recently he had been in poor health, and
his ministerial labors were lightened
by an assistant. DR.. Hall was elected
chancellor Of the University of the City of
New York in 1882. He was an exceptional
ly eloquent speaker and a powerful rea-
soner. A..

S-s-s-t went the shrill little whistle

What equeals of delight there were

brought to its place in the great nest
What funny remarks there were over

Ned called out. This was an easy

Mine was very hard" for OF course all
those eggs were hard eggs!
The little girls got tired first, but the
boys would not stop until the nifty were
found. Then the whistle was blown

Dicks was the last find. and as he
was the biggest boy there he counted
to see II there were really fifty eggs.
"Why. there's fifty-one!" exclaimed
he. and sure enough pure white egg
lay among the fifty gaily-coiored ones
like lily in pansy-bed.
What surprise for everybody. How

panions?
Could any boy. have brought 1t in
his pocket by mistake?
Who found this white cgg?" asked
the children's friend.
"Oh, I did," said Dick. "and 1t was a
