SENSATION IN CHURCH.
A Young Woman led out by th,
Sexton

The members of Fayette-Street
Methodist Episcopal church, of Bal
tImore, are deeply concerned over the
actions in the church of young
woman who is said to be infatuated
with a young dentist who is a mem
Der of the church choir.
Acting on the advice of tue States
Attorney, it is said, they instructed
the sexton not to allow her to enter
the church. The young woman,
however, outwitted the sexton. and
soon after the church doors were
opened she entered the church and
took seat in the gallery While
the sexton was lighting the chande-
Tiers, before the congregation had
assembled, he discovered her and or
dered her to leave the church. She
defied him to make her leave the ed
itice and he, it is said, led her down
stairs and into the street.
a sister of the young women is said
to have gone down into a lower por-
ton of the church just about the time
the sexton was ejecting her sister.
She had her sleeves rolled up and
her head was bare. When she saw
the sexton leading her sister to the
front door she went to her sisters
aid. When the two sisters were fl.
nally gotten out on the pavement
there had gathered large crowd of
persons curious to see the outcome
of the difficulty.
While the service lasted neither of
the sisters went near the church, but
no sooner had the services ended
than both made their appearance on
the opposite side of the street and
watched the crowd as it came out of
the edifice.
The congregation, instead of dis
perslng as usual, remained standing
on the church pavement. The Young
woman who had caused all the trouble
crossed the street and walked SLOWLY
up to the church. She was supposed
20 be waiting for the young dentist
to come out, but he remained inside.
The church officials, it is said.
have been worried about the actions
OF the young woman for about six
months.

that the majority are in favor of a

now have. Those who own dogs
desire to set value upon them as

'TwAsEyER THUS WITH BOSSES

Within the past few days President
Mckinley has been called sharply to
account for appointing one of Sena-
tor Platt's political favorites Judge of
the United States District Court of
New York. A delegation of promi-
nent lawyers from Buffalo and other
sections of the State went to Wash
ington, interviewed Mr.. Mckinley
and told him bluntlY that the man
he had appointed was not fitted for
the bench. 1t is significant that
most of the lawyers who condemned
the appointment are Republicans.
They Informed the President that
Mr.. Platt's favorite (his "politicsl
agent" according to the New York
Tribune was simply a sharp poll
tician, with record of only four APP
pearances in any court in ten years.
They asked President Mckinley to re-
call the nomination. The President
has "taken the matter under advise
ment," but it is not likely he will
revoke the appointment unless Sem
ator Platt consents to have the NOM
ination withdrawn. - Baltic. Sun.

clare 1t to be the greatest boon ever con-
ferred upon this, the land of my nativity

. Felppo. ID. d., Of Philadelphia.
The eminent divine was struck
with the work which is going on
here In lryington. Aud well he
might have been. Many parts of the
. Northern Neck and South-side are
reaping the good effects of this insti-
tuition of learning which was organ
lied at Marvin Grove Camp Ground
ten years ago. During that period
it has added great wealth to the
culture and education of our section.
and every summer polished men
and women are found returning to
their homes from distant graduating
schools, who have received their
preparatory training at this institu-
ton. This week seventy pupils
left its halls greatly advanced in
mental training after having spent
the past nine months at the Chesa-
peake; and, in the near future, many
of them doubtless will return, like
their predecessors, with finished
education to grace the several walks
in life which they may have chosen.

81 BELIEVE in the doing fellow. /
believe in effort. / believe in accom-
plishment." These words are from
the pulpit, and every true man would
endorse them no matter if they came
from the lowliest or meanest mouth
on earth. Yet there are men who
think they are living up to their be-
liefs-that is, are encouraging men
who are active and industrious and
working for the good of their fellow
man-but yet are found belittling the
efforts of such citizens and giving
countenance and support to some
fellow who is too lazy to get awav
from his shadow and who can't sleep
at night because his slanderous
tongue pains him so. The world is
dotted with all sorts of people, and
this class when they leave it may
leave stencil behind but not enough
material accomplishments to make a
