X Comedy of Errors.

There was an accident on a Portland street the other day, and this is how it happened: A tramp walking up the street saw benevolent-looking wheel man riding down, and started to head him of. Just then dog on the same side of the street noticed Q cat on the opposite side and made for it. The dog didn't notice the tramp, and the wheelman took no account of the dog The result was that the dog went be- tween the legs Of the tramp and rolled that individual over on his bat The wheelman struck dog and tramp and took header over them. The wheel man struck frantically at the dog and his blow landed on the nose of the tramp, while the dog made an assault on the tramp, and, missing him, made life exciting for the Wheelman. At last they untangled themselves and the tramp and the wheelman trailed bad language one up and the other down the street, while the dog stood and growled at both. Meanwhile the cat emerged from hole in the lumber pile where she had taken rel e and watched the three with evident inter- est.-Lewiston Journal.

New #RusKin Story.

A characteristic new Ruskia story the accuracy of which is youehed for by the Bookman. is as follows: A cer- tain person in this country sent a friend of his in England an American edition of Ruskin's works. They were seized by the customs authorities, of course, and were in peril of confsca- ton, when the consignee learned that If he could procure a letter from MT Ruskin allowing the books to pass into England the customs would re- lease them. Accordingly letter of request was sent to MT. Ruskin. who replied promptly and with character lstic yerve as follows: Sir: I do not see that your friends desire to give you a present @2 my expense is any apology for your intrusion upon me. Yours, etc, John Ruskin.'' The books came back to America, but in spite of very tempting offers the recipient of MT. Ruskin's curt reply refuses to part with the autograph.

 A great deal Of interest is aroused in botb political and financial circles by the appeal for assistance now being made by Russia in the London money market.

 When 2Spe Leo XIII. dies his imme- d1ate successor will be Cardinal Luigi OTeglia, Camarlingo of the Roman Catholic Church. He will not be called Pope, but according to the laws in force he will be Acting Pope until the new Pope is elected. The Vatican reg nlations decree that the election of the new Pope cannot take place until after the burial of the late Pope, which takes place ten days after his decease. ln many instances the election is not completed for weeks or months so that the CamsFIingo may eniov his papal power for a long time. Leo XIII held the position of Camarlineo when he himself was elected to the poptif- cate, but it does not seem probable that 61s Camarlingo will succeed to inc papal throne. Ii is the CamarlIngo who formally declares the pope dead after tappsng his forehead three times with the silver hammer. He t is wbn breaks the seals and Ring Of the Fish efman, and then assumes the diree- ton of the Apostolic see until the new pope is chosen. The Camarlingo pre- sides over the sacred conclave of the cardinals having the election in hand. and keeps the key Of the place of meet ing, so that none can enter or eo out save with his consent. When inc election is concluded he asks the new pontiff what name he intends to take.

THE FIRST cAMP-mEETINc.
It Was Held at Russenriue, Ky, s
Century Ago.

Century Ago.
 The effect of the McGee brothers preaching especially of John McGee- at a Presbyterian quarterly meeting on the banks of the Red river, Kentucky, was so startling and seemed so clearly to indicate that it was the result of divine agency or some mysterious force possessed by the preacher. that the news of the occurrence spread rapidly in all directions throughout that part Of the state and attracted unbounded interest, writes Clifford Howard in the Ladies Home Journal. If it did not at once awaken a responsive re- ligious feeling, it at least excited euri- osity and when it was learned that the McGee brothers were to hold meet ing al Russellville, Ky, newly set tied town in Logan county, near the Muddy river. persons from all parts of the adjoining country, irrespective of their religious beliefs or church al legianee, prepared to attend It soon became evident that the four walls Of q country meeting house would not sui fee to hold the large numbers that were making ready to go to Russell vile The problem thus presented was solved by determining to hold the meeting in the open air. Those com ing from distance were prepared to camp; it would be no hardship to them to remain out of doors. The recent experience at Red river had proved this. It was not expected by those who were coming that the lodging ac- commodation at the village of Russell vile would be sufficient by any means. Why, therefore, attempt to house .Ae people? Prepare camping ground and let the meeting be camp meet ing. This, then, was the origin of camp meetings; and the first one held in America was on the banks of tae Muddy, near Russellville, Ky. in the month of August, 1f99-100 years ago. Not that religious worship had never before been held in the open air. but the special feature of camping out and the nature of the services made the camp meeting a distinctive institution and characterized this particular gath ering on Muddy river as the first of it's kind
