by Rev. DIR. Barnes of Pennsylvania and

The First Baptist Church was more

the discussion of the Chapel Car Works

with it. Boston w. Smith general man

meeting and introduced Professor David

Dr. Jordan paid high tribute to the
good work now being done by the Chapel
Car branch of the Baptist church. which
he regarded as one of the most important
and successful ways of reaching the
souls of people who would not otherwise
receive any religious teaching. He took
occasion to praise the seeking of higher

Since the news arrived in this city,

his son was dead When F. W. Foster,

day the Abbott letter was written, Mr..
Vail had not rallied from the shock and
that was five days after the accident
had occurred. This news. although it

from the anxious father. reached him,
and the nervous strain the father has
undergone for the past ten days has
been something terrible. Mr.. Vail was
much relieved Tuesday night. however,
when he was shown by Mr.. H. o.
Michaels telegram from Anvil City,
dated Sept. Is, and signed by Mr.. f. G.
Abbott. The message was brief, but to
the point, and contained the three
words: Vail has recovered" This is
supposed to mean that he has come out
from under the effects of the shock in
good shape, and from the nature of the
trouble doctors here say that if blood
poisoning has not set in in that length
of time Mr.. Vail is now probably we'll
nigh out of all danger. The telegram
from Mr.. Abbott was sent to Seattle by
boat and the man to whom it had
been intrusted sent the message from

the company either declines to be seen

authorized an absolute denial of the re-

the dividends on the preferred and

company earned during the last fiscal

THE AMATEUR CARPENTER.
His Experience In Shortening the
Legs of the TnbIe.

Mr.. w. l.. Alden disepurses in his most
amusing style upon amateur carpenter
ing in Pearson's Magazine. There pre-
vails," he says, "a superstition among
people of an economical turn of mind
that vast sums of money can be saved
every year by a householder who has a
few carpenters tools and fancies that he
can mend broken tables and chairs and
can manufacture articles of furniture.
Experience has demonstrated times with
out number that, next to drink, the ANA
teur carpenter habit is the most expen-
sive and ruinous habit in which a man
can indulge but experience has not the
slightest influence in checking the habit.
THE householder who brings a saw, a
hammer, plane and giInlet into his
house is lost He will inevitably proceed
to use these implements of destruction
until he has ruined his entire stock of fur
niture and brought himself to the verge
of bankruptcy. have known an honest
and upright man to provide himself with
carpenters tools and then to begin an
unproyoked assault upon table, one leg
of which happened to be an infnitesmal
part of au inch shorter than the other
legs.
Beginning at Q O'Clock in the morn
ing, that unhappy man successfully short
ened every other leg of the table in the
vain hope of bringing them all to the
same length. Ofcourse the more he used
his saw the more widely the four legs
deviated from uniformity, but the man,
encouraged by misguided wife, contin-
ued to saw off hits of the legs until at
noon the top OF that table had been
brought within eight inches Of the floor
and the difference in length between the
longest and shortest leg was fully two
inches.
Nevertheless this clear demonstration
of the evils of amateur carpentery had
no effect upon the man. He concealed
the evidence of his guilt in the garrett and
the next day began upon chest of draw
ers with the professed intention of max
ing the drawers fit perfectly. BY night
that chest of drawers was hopeless
wreck, and only that very evening the
mans wife remarked to her next door
neighbor that her husband was so handy
with carpenters tools that he had saved a
lot of money by doing his own mending.''
