BRIDGEPORT.

To-day the West End Methodist
church, which has been undergoing ex-
tensive repairs, will be opened with
special services. In the morning at
half-past ten o'clock Rev. DR.. Wilson,
of Bellaire, will deliver the sermon
which will be followed by some special
music by the choir and a solo by Allen
Goodwin, the boy soloist, after which
a financial report of the church will be
read. In the evening Rev. Mr.. Secrist,
pastor of the St Clairsville Methodist
church, will preach, and Allen Good
win will render another solo. The
financial report will show up very IA
vorable, as something like $500 has al
ready been subscribed towards paying
the church debt.
1t has been suggested, and wisely,
too, that the creek running through
the town be walled up on either side
and be used as general sewer by the
town. The idea of walling it up, when
properly looked at, would be an excel
lent thing for the town and its people.
Suppose that it was walled, say half
its length within the corporation. The
land that would become available that
is now flooded with every little freshet
would go a long way toward paying
for the work. Not only would it pay
in this manner, but if used to carry
off sewer water would improve the
sanitary condition of the town to a
great, extent. The suggestion is a good
one and is well worthy Of some thought
and consideration.

Gava Her Hns m n II for On hA,

A touching little story is told Of Mrs
Waldeck, wife of Captain William A
H. Waldeck of the Seventh United
States Volunteer Regiment Of I'm
munes. Captain Waldeck vas for
eighteen years with Hollands army in
the East Indies. Eight years ago he
was given leave Of absence by his gov
ernment, and he spent some of his play
time in a trip through America. At
Detroit he met Miss Amelia Theresa
Cousins, who subsequently became his
wife. Before accepting him Miss Cous
lns made 1t a condition Of their mar
riage that he should leave the army.
He complied with the condition, and
became an American. When the war
with Spain broke out the desire to
return to his old profession of war
and to serve his adopted country be-
came very strong, and his wife did
not oppose his wishes.
Mrs. Waldeek accompanied her hus-
band to Washington to procure his
commission. On meeting Colonel E.
A. Goodwin of the Seventh Volunteers,
there, she held his hand in both of
hers, and, looking earnestly at the
colonel, said: Colonel Goodwin, / was
the cause of my husband leaving the
regiment in which he served eighteen
wears, and | feel that it is my duty,
now that my country is at war with
Spain, TO give him back his promise
and let him follow his old profession
as a soldier. I only hope that I shall
sse him In life again"

The reason that it Is necessary to be
we'll covered while sleeping is that
when the body lies down 1t is the In
tention of nature that it should rest,
and the heart especially should be re-
lieved of its regular work temporarily.
So that organ makes ten strokes min
ute less than when the body is in an
upright posture. This means 600
stokes in sixty minutes. Therefore, in
the eight hours that man usually
spends in taking his nights rest, the
heart is saved nearly five thousand
strokes, AS it pumps six ounces OF
blood with each stroke, it lifts $4,000
ounces less of blood in this nights ses-
sion than 1t would during the day,
when a man is usually in an upright
position. Now, the body is dependent
for it's warmth on the vigor Of the cir
culation, and as the blood flows so
much more slowly through the veins
when one is lying down, the warmth
lost in the reduced circulation must be
supplied by extra coverings Even
Ing Wisconsin"

The eminent exhorter came down
from the pulpit at the close Of the
service. Many people pressed for
ward to shake him by the hand. He
accepted their congratulations with a
smiling face, but his eyes were on n
certain auditor who fingered in the
aisle. The great preacher pressed
through the throng about him and ex-
tended his hand to the waiting man.
II want to thank YOU" be said In
his deep musical tones, "for the close
attention you gave my remarks. Your
upturned face was inspiration to me.
! am sure you never changed your
earnest attitude during my sermon"

neck"
