GOOD SERMON,
But the Reporter Made a Serious
Mistake in the Topics.

But the Reporter Made Serious
Mistake in the Topics.
Milwaukee Sentinel.
A we'll known Milwaukee newspaper
man, the hero of the tale, was confronted
on Sunday evening many years ago with
a problem which the reporter frequently
encounters-namely, how to get three
half-hCur assignments into one hour
time. To dispose of two within that per-
iod was not difficult but when at o'clock
the task of covering a sermon deliveded
soma 10 minutes before, presented itself,
the problem became more involved. The
minister could not be reached, nor could
any Of the congregation be located; conse-
quently he chose the one alternative open,
which was to take the subject announced
in the morning paper and build up no
tice from that. Whether or not this was
wise is immaterial; the fact remains tnat
he examined the files on his return TO
the office, found that Rev, Mr.. Smith
would speak on Gambling" and set
about to fake his story. Now ordinari-
ly.-that Is perhaps-a brief notice might
be made with some degree of safety with
the material at hand, but in this instance
the stock theme of gambling proved TOO
great a temptation to resist with
iaudable ambition to display his versa
tility, the reporter started to construct
a sermon of his own, picturing in fear
less fashion, and even employing direct
quotations to lend vividness to his &C
count. The story when completed was
gem, and the newspaper man turned In
his copy with I-consider-that-a-pre
creditable-job'' air. And now comes the
pathos which the tale involves. Rev Mi.
Smith called at the Office the following
day and inquired for the man who had
reported his sermon of the evening be-
fore. Accordingly the reporter was sum
moned, and this is the conversation that
ensued
$50 you ere the young man VINO wrote
I'D nv sermon, were YOU?
Eyes, sir" not without slight miseiv-
ing, was anything the matter with II!
mo young man, it was an excellent
sermon, excellent, and it expressed my
sentiments exactly. But" and he laid
disagreeable emphasis on the word, but
there was one objection. My last even
ing's subject was 'Grumbling, not Cam
bling"
The remainder of the conversation and
the SEQUEL to the incident would be too
painful to detail. But to this day that
newspaper man never hears the word
gambling without an uncomfortable start.
And. as has been suggested, even report
ers sometimes make mistakes.

REMARKABLE FEAT
Of Strength Performed Daily by
Blind Beggar.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Zone of the most remarkable feats Of
strength 1 ever saw In my life is per-
formed every day by an old beggar on
Baronne street." said one of a group of
clubmen engaged in discussing athletics.
1T is nothing to look at" he continued,
land you will smile when 1 describe it,
but am willing to bet that there is no
body In the crowd that can come any
where near duplicating the performance.
The beggar to whom refer stands in al
most exactly the same position all day
long-his feet little apart, his shoulders
stopped, his chin on his breast and his
right arm extended, holding a cup. OF
course, 1 don't pretend to assert that he
holds out the cup continuously without
rest or intermission during his entie
stay, but on several occasions I have
timed him, and can state positively that
he has kept his arm extended with hard
ly culver for over twenty minutes al a
stretch. A person who knew nothing
about athletics would suppose that was
easy. but it isn't by a jugful, as some
of you chaps are doubtless aware. 1 re-
member hearing q very powerful fellow
in the billiard room of the St. Charles
boast of the length of time he could
hold dumbbell at arms length and
somebody present remarked quietly that
he would bet a basket of champagne he
couldn't hold out a visiting card steadily
for quarter of an hour by the watch.
The big man jumped at the wager, and
for a few minutes hts arm was as
straight and rigid as a bar of iron. Then
it began to CULVER slightly, and presently
the arteries were standing out like cords
and the sweat was streaming down his
face like rain. He gave up in the
eleventh minute. There is undoubtedly
more or less of trick in the thing. and
I suppose the old beggar holds his pose
through long force of habit, but never
theless it's a remarkable feat"

ICE CREAM CAN CORR0DED.
FIFTY People Poisoned at a New
York Church Festival.

EASTPORT, L. l., June fifty per-
sons In this and near by villages were
poisoned by eating ice cream at a church
festival. No fatalities have been re-
ported, and 1T is believed all will recover
The festival was under the auspices OF
the Ladies' Aid Society of the Methodist
Church here. A musical and literary pro-
gramme preceded the serving of refresh
ments, when ice cream and strawberries
were provided in abundance The cream
was homemade and of two varieties
vanilla and chocolate.
The festival was over by II o'clock, and
the crowd sought their homes At mid
night came the first alarm, and before the
hrst physician had been summoned from
his bed dozen more came. All Of the
sufferers gave the same symptoms. the
most prominent Of which was violent
pains In the stomach. In some cases
whole families were stricken
1t was ascertained today that only those
who had eaten the vanilla ice cream were
taken Ill. DR.. Rogers ana others making

rected their attention to the cans in which
the cream was placed to keep cold, and
found, It is said, that, while the can which
contained the chocolate cream was clean
and well secured, the one in which the
vanilla cream was packed was rusted and
corroded on the inside. This, it is be-
1eved, caused the epidemic

Il. j. Powell. young lawyer, is charged
by James P. Briggs, aged 10, and the lat
ter's wife with assault. The trouble came
up In connection with the service of an
order,in connection with the divorce suit
of Mrs. Amy Hallock Briggs, daughter-in-
law Of the old couple, against her hus-
band. Frank w. Briggs.
Frank w. Briggs. their son, and Amy
Hallock were married Oct II, 1895. Mrs
Briggs left her husband in February last,
taking their little son with her, and be-
gan divorce proceedings against her hus-
band, alleging cruelty. He instituted a
counter suit, and obtained an order from
the court giving him the custody of the
child pending the decree.
Freddie had been taken to his Grand
father Hallock's, in Sanborn. Wis, and
a court officer brought him back March L.
Since then he has been with his father
and his grandparents. Mr. and Mrs. James
P. Briggs, of 213 Vernon avenue, Mac
alester.
Mrs Amy Briggs, with her lawyer, r.
J. Powell. of Minneapolis, called at the
Briggs home Saturday and asked to see
Freddie.
DrlSSS answered Cne KNOCK, ana
Mr.. Powell told her that they had an or
der from the court permitting the mother
to see the child.
Powell and the elder Briggs had some
words. the visitors finally taking the child
away by force, in which assault both the
old people were very roughly used. Mr..
Briggs will be confined to the house for
time, his physician says. and Mrs.
Briggs the elder has a bad abrasion on
the forehead. One side of her head, too,
is partially paralyzed. or at least badly
numbed, and there is also bad bruise
on her arm. where she was apparently
struck q severe blow.
Mr.. Powell claimed the child for the
mother under authority of an order that
he says, Judge Jaggard gave at the pre-
lirnirary hearing, that the child should
be turned over to the mother five days
before the trial of the divorce case. AS
that was set for Wednesday, she would be
entitled to take the child Friday.
But few days ago Judge Jaggard gave
another order for the mother to show
cause on Thursday why the father should
not have permanent keeping of the boy.
and it is claimed that this supersedes any
provisions giving custody to Mrs. Briggs
at any time.
Mr.. Powell says he used no more force
than was necessary to get the child.
