pc. The election of Gen. Andrade was
at the time considered to have been a
signal victory on the part of those who
favored arbitration of the boundary dis
pute between Venezuela and Great
Britain.
Negotiations for peaceful settlement
OF the boundary dispute between the
two countries have been pending for
several years and October 9 was the day
Of final settlement.
II the treaty is signed it may be posi-.
bic that this tempestuous people over
whom Andrade has ruled for so short
a time, may take exceptions to his at
tltude, and the result will be that he will
be deposed

principle by refusing to receive his
salary. He draws his pay, but spends it
on the church and congregation.
The manner in which he spends his
money is also unusual. For instance,
last winter there was a special service
in church several miles distant from
Andover, which Mr.. Coyle was DESTROYS
that the members of his church and
Sabbath school should attend. He en-
gagged from the livery stables the nee
essary number of sleds to carry the en-
tire party and footed all the bills. Spe-
cial services at Andover on several oc-
casions have brought large numbers
from outlying districts, AT meal times
Mr.. Coyle would dine all such guests at
the hotels at his own expense. Last
winter he took his Sabbath school class
of some 40 members for a days out
ing to jefferson, the county seat of
Ashtablua county, some Is miles dis
tant from Andover. He paid the rail
road fare for all the children, and in
stead of carrying their dinners in bas-
kets they dined at his expense at the
best hotels.
Delegates from his church recently
attended the Grand River conference of
Congregational churches held at Con-
neaut On their arrival at the Con-
neaut depot he engaged a carriage to
take these delegates TO and from the
church in which the conference was
held, while delegates from the maiority
of the churches in the district walked,
He is not closely allied to any denomi-
nation, and often gives literally to
other denominations, as well as to the
one in which he is pastor. An example
of this was witnessed at Andoyer since
his passionate there. The Methodist CON
gregation built new parsonage for its
pastor. Rev. Mr.. Coyle gave $50 to-
wards the fund without even being
asked to do so.
Rev. L. T. Coyle is really wealthy
man. Several years ago he became in
terested in oil speculations in West Vr-
ginia which brought large returns. His
business interests are large and require
portion of his time even at present,
to look after them. That he has ready
cash capital is shown by an incident not
long ago at Andover. He stepped into
printing Office to pay for some work.
He handed the proprietor a five-dollar
bill, but the printer was unable to make
the desired change and asked for money
of some other denomination Rev. Mr..
Coyle, again reaching into his pocket.
