Pltman Grove. n. j., August 14.-This

d WIS 20. 900 1t was small, but crowd was
3 devcut one. The tabernacle could not
hold the mn titude at the sunrise service
and crowds stood about the doors and
windows. The shouts and songs OF the
In o. ed worshipers as they dispersed
through the various avenues aroused the
sleepy cottage-s and they joined in the
cries OF joy and sladness.
O1e of the most thrilling scores Of tho
day occurred at the afternoon altar service,
whom a man sppearently crazed by the
smotionHf Services, left the tabernacle and
went through the circle, shouting for sim

hob5lea away from him the seemingly
CRAZY fell on one knee and prayed that the
Lord call him to repentance. The old
man hurried away much confused by the
attention that had been attracted to him.
A woman with baby In coach when
asked by the inspired shouter II she was

We May Get Some OF the Hurricane.

We way wv S'uiiS vi khN
The hurricane which Sunday was OK
pccted to go off the Florida Coast and die
out iu tho Atlantic Ocean has unexpected
ly como back, and may he expected off
the Jersey Coast this afternoon. Will
mington may como in for another slight
apportionment.
Tho rainstorm yesterday morning which
was unexpected Is said to be due to the
hurricane. The cool wind calno sweeping
in from the region of the Great Lakes and
met the warmer air from the ocean and
South Atlantic States, causing u procipi-
tation. 1t was, however exceedingly I'M
pleasant to shoppers, many of whom wore
caught on tho streets without protection.
1t is thought that the same condition OF
winds will exist to-day. and so rain is pre-
dicted to reach here late to- day or to-mor-
row. If it keeps up its present speed OF
travel. When off the Florida coast it was
something of a laggard in its movements.
Whether the hurricane comes or not the
cool weather Of yesterday was greatly up
preciated by all, and those who suffered
from the heat are not disposed to borrow
trouble from hurricane. The promise Of
northerly winds for to-day and TONER
row means, 1t is said, continued cool
weather. The weather reports sent out
last night showed generally clear weather
in the West and the Atlantic Const south
from New York and In the Southern
States 1t was generally cloudy or raining.

his three pals in Bridgeport, Conn. The
Philadelphia authorities are Of the opinion
that two of the men were connected with
the car barn robbery there.
eTwo Philadelphia detectives left for
Bridgeport, Conn. The safe was blown
open In the same manner TINT the Bavar-
ian Brewery In this city was robbed. The
two men whom the authorities hope to
connect with the trolley barn robbery are
George Brown, alias Milwaukee Red"
and James, Curran, otherwise known as

thur Vaughan, alias st Paul Tip and
John Smith, alias Sleepy John"
The four men arc salu to be known all
over tho country as desperate criminals
and the Pinkertons anu the Bridgeport
police succeeded in capturing them only
after hard fight, in which revolvers
were drawn by both sides The men ar
rested are said to belong to a gang Of
the most daring safe robbers ever operat-
ing In the United States.
The charge upon which they were ar
rested in Bridgeport was robbinR the safe
in tho car barn Of Fall River and Newport

With every tick of the clock, says
the London Home Magazine, e6, lbs.
worth of beer vanishes down the
worlds throat: every minute e410
worth disappears; every hour, the
world pays G24, 65l for its beer; and
every day it swallows, the yearly in
come of 5000 middle-class families in
nearly ee0o, 600 worth of the thrown
beverage. " Stupendous as these figures
are, especially when we consider that
the worlds beer bill for year amounts
to e216, 600, 600 sterling, tho figures
which represent the quantity consumed
are almost incredible. The beer which
is consumed throughout the world in a
single year would make a lake 6 feet
deep, 334 miles long, and a mile wide,
or 2, $40 acres in area. In this vast
lake of beer, we could easily drown all
the English speaking people TO the
number of 10000, 900, throughout the
entire world; or we could give Q beer.

at the same time in the entire con-
tinent Of America; while. all, the
peoples OF England, Scotland, Ireland,
and France could find standing7roon
