established church and starting in bust
ness for himself as a Divine Parsonage.
MonstrOus as the idea was it was not
long before Brother Prince, as he called
himself, had scores of followers. Prince
devoted his efforts chiefly to the CONVEX
sion of wealthy persons and in order that
he might better promote the interests
represented by himself he established a
home for his faithful followers. He called
this house the "Agapempne, or Abode Of
Love, of the Children of the Resurrec-
tion,' this being the name that he a
given the sect.
The house was luXuriously furnished,
the monastlc rules laid down were not
strict and their love feasts and other Sc
cret ceremonialS We're celebrated with due
regard to the e~soteric mystery that was
bound to excite curiosity of those who
had no part in them. The fact that no
one knew what was going on within the
walls of the Agapemone, the Abode of
Love, where men and women dwelt to-
gether so mysteriously gave ample scope
to the imagination and it was generally
believed that rites of heather freedom
We're regularly INDUCED in.
To these aspersions Brother Prince
made no reply. AS the deity, sole pro-
phet and high priest of the new sect he
assumed the temporal dignity BETTING
the position of a prince on earth. He set
up a carriage and four with positions,
and life in the Agapemonc was said to be
one long round of feasting and pleasure
for which the faithful converts footed the
bills.
At that time they We're called Nor
MONS" a name which misapplied chung
to them.
Good times like these are sure to eX-
cite envy and in 1860 Brother Prince vas
called into court to answer the suit or
the heirs of Miss Louise Jane NottidGe
who claimed that the new deity, by the
exercise of improper influence had per-
suaded the lady to transfer all her
property to him during her lifetime.
The case was decided against Brother
Prince who was compelled to return the
full amount of the claim, nearly six thou
sand pounds, and to accept a verbal rep
rimand at the hands of the vice chan
,ceIlor who said, that by falsely and
blasphemously pretending to a direct Di-
vine mission he had imposed on weak wo-
men and had obtained a gift of the whole
of their fortunes. AS to Miss Louise
Jane Nottidge the defendants own state
ment showed that he had obtained the
gift of all her property by imposing a be-
lief in his supernatural character upon
her weak mind. This successful impos-
ture was the influencing motive of the
gift, and, therefore, vitiated it entirely

WHAT A FUNNY OLD WORLD.

What a funny old world it is, AS an
exchange says no man is satisfied with
his lot in life. One man is struggling for
justice and another is flying from it..
One man is saving all his money to build
an extra fine house. and another is trying
to sell his for less than it cost him. One
man is spending all he earns in taking
his girl to the thcater and sending her
flowers in the hope OF making her his
wife, while his neighbor is spending all
he makes to get a divorce. One man goes
through many battles of war without
getting a scratch and gets killed on a
railroad. Another man escapes all the
diseases the flesh is heir to and dies a
suicide. And ever the would-be suicide,
if threatened with some deadly disease,
would do anything in his power to es-
cape it.

land would fill a large book His pictures
in the newspapers were deceptive, in that
they made him look like a man of dark
complexion. 1t accordingly came to pass
that any stout nan of the proper age,
with a mustache, would in right inviron-
ments be taken for Mr.. Cleveland. On the
day of inauguration, in 1898, A. A. Will
son. a citizen of this district, was coming
down the steps of the capitol with one
of Mr.. ClGveland's secretaries, when a
small crowd began to gather, and Its
spokesman came up and thus addressed
the secretary: DO you suppose he would
be willing to shake hands with us now?'
Mr.. Wilson hearing this, replied in the
affirmative, and one by one a consider
able numbe of people paid their respects
to an estimable local real estate broker.

dial Il am happy to meet YOU, sir" One
of the last men in line leaned over Mr..
Wilson's shoulder to say in a low whis-
per: when would be a good time to see

about a few weeks ago. Mr.. Wilson'S
reply was Enthusiastically cordial: Come
my time you please, sir, any time: shall
be glad to see you" When this man re-
ported to the White house two days later,
assuring all the presidents buffers that
he had been invited by the president him
self to come any time to see about a $500
postotfice, they hardly knew what to-
make Of il.

Inc announcement, which was made a

Veyed very little to rnose who read the
small news item in the papers, but TO
those whose memories could carry them

~PERSONATING PRESIDENTS.

Correspondence of The Boston Tran
script: Experience has many times
proved that it is not a difficult matter
to get ones self taken for the president
of the United States, in case there is the
very slightest resemblance in appearance
to that distinguished parsonage. The sub
lest is now brought to public notice by
the account in a recent issue of The De-
tectiye' of how william A. Murphy, one
of the seven Chicago policemen detailed
to guard the president during the Peace
Jubilee, was for half IN hour cheered by
the crowd as the president himself. 1t
seems that Mr.. Murphy considerably re-
sembles Mr.. Mckinley, so that when at
one time Mr.. Mckinley rode quietly in a
closed carriage, Murphy was ordered into
the barouche with the chief of police and

once more before the world.
Gradually, however. the excitement
subsidized and for nearly thirty years the
Abode of Love has been forgotten except
by those in its immediate vicinity. The
silence was not death however. The re-

At THE BOX OFFICE.

There was an involuntary exclamation
of admiration as she burst through the
doors of the theater lobby in a manner de-
cidedly aggressive, followed by a gentle
man of distinguished appearance, says
the Washington Post. She was young,
pretty and fashionably attired. The line
at the box office ,nstinctively paused as
she took her place in front without any
apology. He almost meekly followed, n
in a well bred manner requested the agent
to show the seats not sold for the night.
He examining the sheet)-HoW would

She-Fourth row No, indeed! That's
too close. Haven't you something about
