The enlargement OF church at
Quincy, Mich, and its recent rededi-
cation testify anew to the power one
person may exert in a community.
Thirty years ago Quincy was but
hamlet, and the Presbyterian church
being reduced TO single member, the
presbytery dissolved the church and
sent a committee to get the minutes.
Mrs. Patter refused either to give up
the minutes or to be dissolved"
What the presbytery should do was
her plucky answer, is to send US a
minister" Her advice was taken, and
today the church is happy. hopeful and
fiourIshing. 1t lived simply because
one earnest Christian woman would
not let it die.

In one Of the statistical divisions of
the Department OF Agriculture in
Washington may be seen a machine
resembling typewriter, which multi
plies and divides with unerring accu-
racy and with great rapidity. Give its
operator a multiplicand of six figures
and multiplier as large, and he will
write them out as upon typewriter;
then he turns handle few times,
and before the onlooker knows what is
going on, the product is written out
before him. The machine performs
examples in division with equal ease.
Does any one OF our young readers
fancy that he sees in this invention an
emancipation of boys Of the twentieth
century from the veXation of the null

Strike-the-Kettl is not a romantic
name. but the old Indian who bore that
appellation was leader and Chris

this duty he was wounded in fight

the Indians of the Standing Rock
Agency fought the flames for days.

METHODIST BISHOP.
Possible That Chancellor Mcdowell May
BE lhnaen.

fOABlDle AhAt ShAuCebOf MCbONch may
BE Chosen.
Chicago, May S.-As the time ap-
proaches for the settling of the ques-
ton of how many bishops are to be
elected by the Methodist general con-
ference, the sentiment is growing
among the delegates that none of the
present occupants of the high office
should be retired and placed on the
superannuated list. 1t seems probable
that because of the advanced age of
severel members of the episcopacy,
the committee on episcopacy will rec
ommend the election of five additional
bishops. Three will be for work in this
country and two to supervise the mis-
sionary work in Asia.
This is the program In favor with a
majority of the members of the com.
mittee on episcopacy. The committee
to-day began active work on the ques-
tion referred to it by the conference.
There are twenty or more ayowed
candidates for the high office of bishop,
Notwithstanding the fact that it is not
likely that more than five more addi-
tions to the present board of episcopacy
will be made. Among those most
prominently mentioned for bishop are:
DIR. j. w. Hamilton Of New York, DIR.
]. f. Berry of Chicago, DIR. Henry
Spellmeyer of Newark, DIR. Il. B. Neely
of Philadelphia, DR.. William f. Nc
Dowell of Colorado and DIR. w. G.
Kelly of New York. 1t is probable that
much objection to the election of a
colored bishop will appear when the
matter is taken up by the conference.
The southern delegates, it is said,
will vote solidly in favor of the inno-
walton, but hundreds of Representatives
of the northern conference, it is said,
will oppose 1t. The great number of
white candidates for bishop, it is be.
lieved, will operate against the chances
Of Dr. j. +. Bowen of Washington, the
leading colored aspirant, and several
prominent delegates declare that the
election of DR.. Bowen by the present
conference is by no means certain.

ACCUSED OF POISONING.
Mrs. Henry ERIoff Charged W ith Her
Husbands Death.

BATAVIA. y. Y. Feb Ere the case
OF Howard Benham. the convicted wife
polsoner, is finally disposed of, Batavia
finds itself engrossed in another poison
ing case-this time the husband being the
victim and the wife the accused.
The victim is Henry Egloff of Corfu.
whose death occurred Thursday morning
apparently from some irritant poison. The
wife. Lavinia Russ Egloff. is now locked
up in the county jail here. She protests
innocence.
This case has developed with lightning
like rapidity Thursday Egloff died: Fri
day an autopsy was held and an inquest
was begun, the principal organs of the
body being removed for analysis; Peter
Egloff of Batavia, brother of the victim,
appeared with the coroner and the district
attorney before Justice Dunham and made
a sworn statement charging Mrs. Egloff
with administering the poison. warrant
was issued and Sheriff Pixley and Officer
McNish started in a closed carriage to
make the arrest
Mrs. Egloff was found at the home of
her father, George E. Russ. She manifest
ed apparent surprise when the warrant
was read to her, and said earnestly;
Il am innocent. They can't prove it
against me-"
1t is now common talk in the neigh
borhood that the woman was greatly per-
turbed when she heard of her hubands
death and that she said excitedly:
'I'll hang myself before l go to the
chair.''
No accusation had been made against
her at the time.
1t is said in the village of Corfu, near
the Egloff home, that Albert Wilhelm,
who was the reputed cause of the origi-
nal trouble between the Egloffs, has dis
appeared. He is a good-looking fellow,
twenty three years old. Last summer he
worked for Mrs. Egloffs father. Some
months ago he went to board at the Eg
loft home. Neighbors soon began to talk.
The husband himself was the last to sus
pect anything. When he accused his wife
she denied it. She also objected to his
proposal to send Wilhelm away.
