A Sensation Spoiled.

A colored preacher wanted to de-
liver startling sermon. He had
heard of sensational methods and de-
termined to give his congregation a
surprise. A small boy was taken
into his confidence as q confederate
and stationed on the roof just above
the pulpit. In the lads keeping was
entrusted a pigeon, which was to be
let loose in the church from a conven-
lent place at the proper moment. The
church was packed, and the preacher
having stormed announcement raised
his voice and cried, "And the Holy
Ghost descended in the form Of a
dove" but no dove appeared. He re-
peated his eentence. Still no dove. AT
his third cutlery black face appeared
at the hole in the roof and the query
came, "Pa'son, a cats done eat de
Holy Ghost. but Pse got de cat. Shall
1 throw IN down ?"-Rock County

MUSTER OUT PLANS.
The Figures will Be Apportioned
According to Population
OF States.

Washington, Sept. THE Presi-
dent to-day sent for Secretary Alger
and Adjutant General Corbin, and
also for list of the volunteer organ
izations which have not been mus
tered out. The conference lasted an
hour. Later in the day the following
was given out at the War Depart
ment:
In response to the request OF the
Governors Of some of the States for
the muster out of their entire volun-
teer force, the President replied in
substance as follows:
Answering your telegrsphic re-
quest for the muster out of your regi-
ments, / have already directed that
100000 of the volunteers shall be
mustered out of the service. This
because in my judgment that number
can be spared. About 100000 will
remain, as the Government now re-
quires in Cuba, Puerto Rico and the
Philippines larger army than the
regular military establishment affords.
Tue muster out, like the muster in,
will be as nearly as possible according
to the population of the several States.
The suggestion to muster out all OF
the volunteers from your States can
not, therefore, be entertained. The
Secretary of War has already inquir-
ed OF the Governors of the several
States what regiments in their judg-
ment can with the least inconven-
ience remain in the service. Their
advice will, so far as consistent with
the public interests, be complied
with"
