4 Clever Phrase.

\ certain student of divinity in a
nearby city gets more than the orIi-
nary number of calls to fill the pulpits
Of preachers who are sick or who are
called away suddenly. because of his
ready command Of vi1ilc English. One
Saturday last summer minister rang
him up on the telephone Of the divinity
school where he was taking an extra
course Of study while others were away
on vacation, and begged him TO fill his
pulpit, rs he was obliged to start hur-
riedly to see his sick wife in the Adj
rondacks. The student was lust pre-
pairing to go out Of town for Sunday
himself, and, suspecting that reasons
for Mr.. SIS sudden fitting was not
urgent, he became somewhat irritated
and eSclaimed: Doctor, it appears to
me that the ministers Of this city have
come to regard this institution as a sort
OF ecclesiastical cab stand" The min
lister enjoyed the phrase and repeated
it to some Of his friends, and the stu
dents reputation for phraseologv has
not suffered thereby.-Troy Times.

Jacob Gsell, aged seventy-five years, a
prominent, and at one time, wealthy
farmer died yesterday in the Franklin
county almshouse. A few years ago
he welded a young girl, who proved
his ruin. She spent his money right

ing a paper and then ran off with the
money realized, the paper proving to
be a deed for large Kansas farm.
Broken-hearted Rev. Gsell tried to
keep up his courage, his mind weak

here today it was decided to recon-
mend q. a general meeting CT officers

be held in St. Louis, October 10, an
entire abolition Of passes, all forms cf
free transportation. The only excep-
ton to the radical action proposed is
employees travelling en- business for
their respective companies This is
them ost radical and sweeping mcve
affecting transportation ever made by
railroad managers. Not only is the
pass to be a thing of the past in the
territory west Of this city, but it is to
be eradicated in all parts of the
United States. The committee has
been working cn the question for five
CIR six months and the action taken to-
day was the result of careful consider
alton The order will affect 100000
men. CT 100000 miles of railroad in
the United States, 10000 were voted
in favor Of the proposition. Managers
of the remaining $4,000 miles have net
replied or remain non-committal 1t
is estimated that cut of the entire
number of railroad employees, 100000
are given annual passes ever lines en-
which they are not directly associated.
The change if effected, will add mil
lions of dollars to the treasures of the

silence, and then another shot. and
the marshal fell dead. 1t is the gen
eral belief that there was a third par-
son shooting. Marshal Duke was shot
just under the heart. The coroner's
verdict was that Mr.. Scuthworth came
tC his death by two balls fired from
pistol by Marshal Duke, and that
Dukes death was caused by a ball en-
ter1ng below his heart, caused by the
hrlpg OF an unknown person.
