Why Some Boys Grow Up to Be
Deweys.
From the New York Morning Telegraph.
No wonder some boys grow up to be
Deweys and Hobsons while others drone about
the hive of industry to the end Of their lives
and never amount to a hill of beans.
Alice Anterior can tell you. She had a
significant experience yesterday with two
boys. One was district messenger whom
she dispatched down to Union square, telling
him it was most important and to hurry back
with the answer.
Five minutes later she boarded an open
Broadway car at Greeley square for a hasty
trip to Twenty-third street.
A poor little half-clad urchin ran along
side, offering for sale war extra No. PA.
There was something so pathetic and ap-
pealing about the tiny chap that the amiable
comedienne smiled encouragingly and fumbled
at her purse
By this time the car was under full head
way and was pulling away from the newsboy
with every turn of the wheels, but he had grit
eyed, for two full blocks.
Then Miss Anterior arose, pulled the ball
cord and brought the car to stop; but did
not alight. This enabled the small boy to
catch up, and he had just breath enough to

A great concourse of people filled the
streets ait Payne avenue and Sims
street yesterday afternoon, when the
ceremonies attendant on the laying of
the corner stone of the new Swedish
Baptist church took place. The actual
laying of the stone, the mechanical
work, was not a part of the proceed
ings, only the devotional exercises be-
ing held.
The basement of the new structure
had been raised above the ground, and
the ceremonies took place on an i'm
provised flooring laid on the lower
walls. Rev. o. P. Peterson was in
charge of the exercises, being assisted
py number of ministers and the
choir Of the First church, under the
direction Of Adolph Swanstrom.
Among the ministers present were
the Rev. Prof. Sandell, of Minneapolis;
rev. Frank Peterson, secretary Of the
american Baptist union; Rev. Fred

What had already been accomplished
had been paid for, and he hoped tina,
the money would be forthcoming for
the prosecution Of the work, and had
no doubt that it would be.
The pastor was followed by Prof.
Sandell anda Dr.. Conley, and, after
more singing, the simple ceremony of

There is one interesting incident in the ca

orally known. After the fall of Khartoum in
1885. an enormous quantity of stores had to be
destroyed owing to the want of transport
Among them was about million rounds of
ammunition. which was ordered to be thrown
into the Nile. The duty of experimenting its
destruction fell to Kitchener, and when 1t was
finished he found to his dismay that the con-
tents of two of the boxes thrown into the
river were not ammunition, but 10000 gold
sovereigns apiece.
