RATHER EMBARRASSING.
How a Philadelphia Boys ImprOmptu
Amen Caused a Sensation
I'm Court.

Attorney John A. Ward, one of the
popular members of the Philadelphia
bar, says the Inquirer, of that city, re-
calls at times an incident in one of the
courts which happened shortly after
he had been admitted to practice law,
and which he tells with scarcely the
shadow of a smile. 1t was when court
was just opening for the morning ses-
sion that boy, sitting by his side,
heard the usual prayer made by the
crier. The lad seemed surprised until,
as the last words were uttered by the
official, Ward, without a thought as to
the result, punched the boy in the side
with his elbow and told him to say
Amen. Quick as flash came the re-
sponse from the boy in tone of voice
that at first startled lawyers and spec
tators and disturbed the equilibrium
of the presiding Judge.
When the instant of astonishment
had passed men and women who were
present laughed lightly as all eyes were
directed toward the lad and Ward. II

the latter, "except to look in any direc-

be appealing to me to know why every
body was looking at us. l still say

to do so since the occurrence in court,

POWER OF PRAYER.
1t Is Said to Have Restored to

Girl at Hersey.

Hersey, Aug. IA remarkable cure
by prayer is reported from the home OF
Elder John Pennels, of Hersey town
ship. His ten-year-old daughter Nina
has been entirely helpless for the past
year, being blind and having lost the
use of both legs. Mr.. Pennels went to
the leader of the Latter Day Saints, Rev.
Joseph Smith, who ordered prayer and
communion. The Saints held their meet
ing at the house of Mr.. Pennels. Rev.
Joseph Shippey, of Hersey, admins
tered the sacrament. The father
brought the child out in his arms and
as soon as the prayers were offered the
child is said to have opened her eyes and
began to walk and sing. The cure was
witnessed by so of Herseys leading cit

University of Michigan Regents DO
Not Like the Terms Laid Down
with Ground for the New Hospital.

Ann Arbor, Aug. 1.-THE board Of
regents held a meeting here Saturday,
and il can be positively stated that the
'homeos" will not get the use of the
new hospital this year. Three firms OF
architects furnished plans and after
great deal of discussion those of 5. L.
Stanton were accepted. IL is found that
the hospital can be built for 100000.
The building committee was authorized
to advertise for bids, and as the date
for the next meeting is fixed for Septem-
ber 20, when the contract will be let,
the university will be lucky If the build
ing is inclosed by the time snow flies.
The greatest vrangle at the board meet
ing was on the acceptance of the site
which the city recently purchased for
the university. The city Incorporated
in the deed the phrase: THAT the re-
gents will forever maintain on this site
or one to be procured, a hospital
while the call for the special election
limited the appropriation to "homeo-
pathic" hospital site. The regents did
not like TO be thus restricted TO the
maintenance of a homeopathic hospital
forever, the majority of the board be-
ing strongly allopathic in their inclina-
tions. No conclusion was reached, but
the urgency of the building makes it
probable that the site will be accepted
at the next meeting

WHITEFISH.
Their Propagation in Michigan Will
Hereafter he Under Federal
Government Contract.

Grand Rapids, Aug. 14.-President
Horace Davis, of the Michigan fish COM
mission, has been notified that negotia-
tions have been closed for assumption
of the control of the commercial fish
Matching of Michigan by the United
States government. In consequence
the propagation of whitefish for Mich
igan waters, which had been aban-
doned, is now TO be resumed upon
scale greater than ever before. The
amounts appropriated by the last Mich
igan legislatures have been wholly in
sufficient for continuing propagation.
The commission now assumes control
of whitefish catching in Detroit river
and in all Michigan waters for propa-
CATION of the fish. 1t is given use of
the state hatchery at Detroit and some
other concessions. In return the state
will receive 100000 whitefish plant
ed by the government in Michigan wa
ters and also 5O,OOO,OdO wall-eyed pike
eggs for planting in inland lakes and
streams.

BARGAINS IN ToMBsT0NEs


The approaches to all the cemeteries
about New York are lined with stone
yards, where headpieces may be had
on short notice and in a great variety
of styles to suit the varying tastes and
degrees of grief or sentiment on the
part of the survivors. Tombstones are
such cumbersome and heavy ware that
they are displayed at the very gates
of the graveyards for convenience in
making prompt deliveries. The de-
mand for them is reasonably steady,
and it would not strike the casual OBJ
server that there was much stimulation
to an eager competition in the business
of supplying them.
1t is the more surprising, therefore,
says the New York Sun, to come across
a job lot of headstones at bargain
prices. Out in an eastern suburb of the
city on Long Island a wheeling tourist
came upon an odd spectacle of mark
down sale of tombstones the other day.
All goods were marked in plain figures
in the regular and much approved man
ner of the great department stores.
NtIt anu the 1lldn-
ner of their exhibition was enough to
tempt one to lay in supply against
the time when in the course of nature
he might need something in this line.
Lettered in white paint were all
styles, shapes and sizes in granite mon
uments-plain, polished and ornate.
This style, $780," ''Very fine at $4s;"
"A beauty, only S14.50," and Reduced
to $780," were some of the legends. The
stonecutter stood, like foorwalller,
among his wares, wearing an inviting
smile, while a rival dealer across the
way looked on with scorn all over his
grimy face at the advanced business
methods of his neighbor.

A guest at one of the leading New
Orleans hotels put in an appearance In
the Office wearing very peculiar look
ing hat. At first glance it seemed to be
of finely woven brown straw, but closer
scrutiny showed that the material was
evidently something else. 1t was passed
around among group of friends, and
they all took a guess. One thought it
was prepared silk, and another thought
it was asbestos, says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat.
"You are all wrong" said the gentle
man; 'it is made of spun glass. You
can see it has considerable elasticity,
and i fancy il would be about as hard
to break as an ordinary Panama. /

the stuff couldn't be made attractive to
the eye. 1t was too stiff and ungraceful
and the expense was prohibitive for
theatrical drop curtains-the only pur-
pose TO which it might have been
adapted. Anyhow, he gave up the un-

Chicago, H., Aug. 14.-George Hutch
ings, a farmer from Berrien, Mich.
came to Chicago Saturday and on Sun
day went to Lincoln park to see the an
imals. He met three men, who took a
deep interest in him and invited him To
go with them to see a hole in the lake.
They took him into a shed near the lake
and one of them told him that he was
an officer and that a telegram had been
received from Berrien saying that
Hutchings was "loaded" with counter
felt money. Hutchings pulled large
roll of bills, which he insisted was
good money. The pseudo policeman
thought so and grabbed the roll. The
three men took to their heels, with the
farmer close after them. Sunday park

Lincoln park force, captured Edward

Two park laborers sat on the curb

WANTED ST. PAUL'S ADDRESS.
A Turkish Censor Who Was After
the Author of Episties to
the Galatians.

The Athens Asty reports that Greek
benevolent society in the Turkish cap
ital recently issued a printed appeal TO
the Hellenic community in Stamboul
for some special charitable object. The
appeal contained citation from one of
the epistles of ST. Paul to the Galatians.
Two days after the publication of the
circular a commissary of police from
the censor's department called upon the
printer and demanded the address of
st. Paul, who was to be charged with
the public utterance of seditous and po-
litically provocative language.
The printer at first was inclined to
laugh outright at the absurdity of the
request and indictment, but as it is al
pleasantly with a Turkish official he
sedately replied that st. Paul, the au-
thor of the Objectionable citation, had
been dead for more than IS centuries.
This ruffled the gravity Of the police
commissary, who angrily eXclaimed:
"How dare you attempt such impudent
cajolery with me?" and forthwith ar
rested the printer. Extraordinary as
it may appear, the reiteration of the
same simple explanation to the censor
had an equally exasperating effect on
that intelligent official, and the un-
fortunate typographer was locked up
for his "perverse contumacy." 1t was
only after the lapse of three days and
on the urgent intervention of the Greek
patriarch that the printer was re-
leased

SHOT TO DEATH.
e. A. Cranston, q Private Watchman,
II Killed by an Unknown Assas-
Sin at Consta tine, Mich.

Constantine, Aug. 12.-Edward A.
Cranston, village night watchman, was
murdered Thursday night by an un-
known assassin. He was on duty, and
was shot through the heart by bur-
glar, who, it is supposed, was about
TO attempt an entrance to the post Of
flee. There was evidence of a fierce
struggle in the street, and cries of
Don't shoot!" were heard, followed
by n shot at close range. The bur-
glar must have held his gun close to
Cranston's body. The body was
dragged into an alley, where ii was
found by Joseph Tweesdale and Charles
Stevens at $3.50 o'clock. The burglars
left portion of their tools and escaped
in closed carriage. There is no clew.
Cranston had been night watchman
for the last four years, during which
time there has not been a robbery or
other depreciation committed in the
business portion of the town. There
would have been a lynching bee had
his murderer been found. Cranston
was about so years old. He leaves
wife and three children-Leoh, of this
place; Mrs. Frank Hess, of Mount Glenn
ems, and Wyatt f. Cranston, of Ann
Arbor.

Cranston Constantine, tried to pawn
a silver watch at Treats jewelry store
in this city on Wednesday morning,
August .. The tramps moved on to-
ward Constantine on Wednesday. Fri
day morning Cranston was murdered.
