Last Sabbath morning, December 10,
1899, the Presbyterians, of Audubon,
formally dedicated their new church
edifice to the service and worship of
God. In spite of the terrible mud and
rain and dark gloomy weather a very
large congregation was present to wit
ness and enjoy the beautiful and i'm
pressive ceremony, many coming in for
miles in the country, over loads we'll
nigh impossible so that at the morn
ing service the seating capacity of the
large building was very fairly tested,
sufficiently so, at least, to verify the
assertion that had the day been pleas
ant and roads good all corners could
not possibly have gained entrance. In
honor of the important event and
through christian courtesy the sister
churches of the city dismissed their
respective morning and evening SER
vices and all joined as one great con-
gregation in dedicating the elegant,
commodious temple unto the LORD.
That ofitself was most delightful and
impressive feature of the important
event, displaying true fraternity and
christian unanimity in the progressive

WOULDN'T PLAY TILL HE LEFT
Julia Arthur's Protest Caused Drunk
en- Ogler to BE Elected from
New Haven Theater.

Miss Julia Arthur introduced some
entirely new business" at the Hyperi-
on theater, in New Haven, n. Y, the
other evening, when she appeared in
a Lady of Quality" In the midst of
the third act she stopped the perform.
ance. and, walking to the footlights,
addressed the audience.
size said there was man in certain
seat on a certain aisle and row who was
annoying the women in the cast. She
pointed the man out, so that the entire
audience could see him.
She said the performance would not
proceed until this man left the house.
Miss Arthur then rung the curtain
down. The eyes of the audience were
turned upon the Objectionable man,
and he arose and hurriedly zigzagged
up the aisle and out of the theater.
Miss Arthur waited until he had
gone. Then she said:
Il regret that it was necessary to de-
lay the performance, but this part is a
difficult one, and my company cannot
act until we have the attention and re-
spect of the audience"
The house broke into an uproar of ap-
plause as Miss Arthur left the stage.
After short delay the play was re-
sumed.
The man in the audience was under
the influence of liquor, and was lean
ing out into the aisle and waving his
gloves to woman in the cast. He left
the theater so hurriedly that no one
recognized him, and the managers OF
the theater refused to divulge his
name,

Increasing Roses.

The easiest and surest way of in.
creasing ones supply of rose plants
is by layering. Select a strong and
healthy shoot-one that comes out near
the base of the plant, if possible-and
bend it down SO that part of twill
reach the ground At the point where
it comes in contact with the soil make
a cut about half way through the stalk
on the under side. Bury the stalk to
the depth of three or four inches, with
the cut at the lowest part of the curve,
and fasten by laying small stone over
the soil which covers it. Then set
a stake near this place and tie the
end of the branch to it in an upright
condition, and allow the branch to
form roots at its leisure. This should
be done in June or July. BY fall the
roots will most likely have been
formed, but / would not remove the
plants until spring. Most shrubs can
be propagated in the same manner

An Experience That Caused the Lady
Clerk to Go Into Another
Business.

fellow that sends out these blaekmailing

AT this the visitor would look dazed, ut

casionally the real proprietor would peep
through an inside window to see whether |

ahead. As a wndup he smashed the chan

continue their walk, there was a cry of
distress and pain, rush of scores of
men pell nell into commingled mass
of writhing legs and arms, all of the
people pushing and crowding towards
common center, many of them
striking out right and left like
rioters and bruisers. The soli-
tary policeman helplessly strug-
gled to wedge his way towards the
center of the crowd, but could do moth
ing until the crowd gradually sep
arated. Then it was discovered that
several men had been cut with razors,
ten or more had been struck with fists
and sticks, and the appearance of the
individuals emerging from the center of
the melee was very unprepossessing.
As usual, somebody had started quar-
rel. a sufficient number of friends of the

ness of sin. There are black sheep in all
families, and in all churches.
