young woman had been overcome by the
close air. Before Miss Farnham was out
of the church, and before the pastor
could again begin to preach, Mrs. James
Winnie, wife of the principal of the high
school, and two other women who were
in her pew, arose at the same time and
with blanched faces rushed into the
aisle and hurried to the vestibule. sew

Mrs. Winnie, but Miss Fowler, one of
the others, tainted. 1t was some time
before she recovered consciousness.
There was almost panic in the church,
and men rushed to open the windows,
while several members of the congrega-
ton, feeling ill, left the church. The
| pastor finished his sermon and dismissed
the congregation.
The cause of the trouble is given as the
neglect of the sexton, John Bogardus, to
ventilate the church after 1t had been
closed several days.

A Fight With Two Eagles

A rural postman named Zephirin Bon
troux, has to tramp every day with let
ters from Saint Bonnet to Saint Etienne,
In Devolny, in the department of the
Hautes Alpes. Zephirin was trudging
along as usual the other day when a
snowstorm came on, and in order to
save his eyes he sat down on the road
side, turning his back to the binding
blizzard. Hardly had he seated himself
when two immense eagles pounced on
him, and began to attack him with their
beaks and claws. Zephirin was fortu-
nately provided with a thick cudgel hav-
ing an iron point. He charged at the
birds of prey and hurt one of them. but
not sufficiently to make it abandon the
contest. Suddenly the two eagles
swooped down again from the heights
on the postman, who was overturned by
blow from a wing. Being an agile
person, Bontroux soon recovered his
equilibrium, and for nearly quarter of
an hour kept the eagles away from his
head, which they wanted to get at. His
stick rendered him good service, and
afr desperate efforts to defend himself
he had the satisfaction of seeing the
birds soar upwards through the falling
snow. Bontroux, although much fatigued
by his exertions, reached his destination
safely. and went to a doctor in order to
have few scratches which he received
in the hands attended to.-London Tele-

Stole His Bride and Spanked Her

Potsdam, N. Yin the little village of
of South Cotton, fifteen miles UP the
Racquette river, young man named
Trim carried away a girl he had been
counting, and they were married by a
justice of the peace.
After the wedding they drove to the
bridegroom's house. The brides father
arrived there about the same time in
pursuit of her. While Trim was put
ting up his team his father-in-law stole
away the bride, took her back home and
spanked her with slipper in the good
old-fashioned way.
Trim drove at break-neck speed to the
office of the justice who had married
them, and demanded a warrant for his
father-in-law. Then 1t came out that
the bride was under 49, and the justice
informed the young man that there was
no help for him.
Last Sunday morning the young couple
had again disappeared, and as they have
not been found, the girls father has
caused the arrest of the justice for per-
forming the marriage ceremony. - New

In the Form of a Dove

Covington, Ky. - Superstitious resi-
dents of this city are much excited over
an incident of the funeral of Henry Tho
man, pioneer of the town. He died
few days ago and was buried in the
Mother of God cemetery. The funeral
procession was large. All the way to
the cemetery the hearse driver noticed
beautiful white dove lowering over the
hearse. When the coffin was taken from
the hearse and lowered into the grave
the dove fluttered above it. Then when
the coffin touched the cold earth below
the surface and the clods sounded on the
coffin lid, the dove perched on the family
monument surveying the scene. When
the last spadeful of earth had been placed
upon the grave it flew away and disap
peared.
1t is believed by some of the spectators
that the dove was the spirit of the dead
mans departed wife, who had promised,
1t Is said, If return to earth was possi-
BILE, to remain near her spouse until he
died.

A New York Type

Emmett Driscoll, who died last week,
was well known by sight to many per-
sons who had no idea who he was. He
had been a conspicuous figure for sew
eral years in that stratum of New York
life that Is seen In the restaurants, music
halls and theaters, and it was in such
resorts that his evenings were always
passed. He was always extremely thin,
his face was pale. and his lighs blonde
mustache added to the ernaciated look
OF his face, but 1t was thought that like
a great many other men, Mr.. Driscoll
looked great deal more delicate than
he really was. He belonged to that
group which attends regularly the first
nights at the theaters, has free admit
tance to the music halls and is known by
sight to nearly every New Yorker who
goes to such places with any frequency.
He had won the title of count" and
was frequently called by it. His style
of dress was somewhat eccentric, and
although it was scarcely more than an
exaggeration of prevailing modes, the
clothes on his slender frame always sug-
guested the dressing of thirty years ago.
The group to which DriscoH belonged
has within recent years lost some if it's
most notable figures, and it is curious
fact that nobody seems to be taking the
places of these. Thus that particular
old guard seems destined to disappear
Men who figure in this phase of local
life are rarely New Workers by birth
They come from other cities and mis-
take what is really one OF the most cas-
ual phenomena of city life for the rather
exclusive fast set AS matter of fact
the men who make up that set in New
York are of a wholly different caliber.
They belong to good clubs and do not
spend their time in restaurants and
music halls.-New York Sun.

steps she fell face downward on the
floor Mr.. Swartz stopped and was about
to rush to her aid when James b. Platt
and Marshall Herrick went to the young
woman's aid. Her body was as rigid as

doors and let in the cold air, but even
this did not revive the young woman.

HE STUCK FAST.

A society youth had rather unpleasant
time of it on an North End porch a few
evenings ago. The people of the house
have been making a general renovation OF
| the premises outside and in, and among
other improvements painted and varnish-
ed the porch chairs. One of these chairs
it was one with a wicker back-was chosen
by the youth as his resting place. and he
found it a very comfortable one. Pretty
soon. however. the heat of his head. with
its thick adornment. softened up the var
nish and he suddenly discovered to his
dire dismay that his hair was firmly stuck
fast to the chair He pulled gently. but
1t wouldn't let go. He pulled a little hard
er; it was stilD firm. He gave jerk and
the tears filed his eyes. But the varnish
held on for dear life.
OF course the young woman on the
porch continued in bllssful ignorance of
the situation. The young man answered
her in monoSyllables. His thoughts were
all on his hair. But she kept up lively
chatting and apparently did not notice
how distract he was
Pretty soon the girls mother came out
on the porch. Now, he wanted 20 make a
good impression upon the girls mother.
Yet ne didn't rise. He didn't bow. He
didn't even nod. II was too dusky 10 see
the faces OF the ladies. but he knew they
regarded him as a first-class boor. He
groaned inwardly and pulled on the var
nlsh until he felt as II scaiped.
The elderly lady said very little, and
what she said had an icy flavor. The
young woman made a brave effort 10 draw
the visitor out. but she soon saw il was
no use. Silence ensued. The youth knew
Ii was time for him to go. YET he didn't
stir. He wondered what the night watch
man would say when he saw him sitting
there in the early morning hours.
Then he knew he must speak up.
Excuse me" he said. "5ut-hut do you
that IS. could you lend me this chair
Just long enough 10 take il home?"
Sir" said the elderly lady. she prob
ably thought he was intoxicated.
I'm in earnest" said the youth dismal
