hung around the city all night con-

oised Tor this room. Only a few of the

Officers of ColOred Congregation
Seeking n Lost Bible.

The officers of the Mt. Hope Methodist
Church, colored, in Prince Georges coun-
ty, Md, not far beyond the line separating
the District and Maryland, are endeavoring
to regain possession of q large Bible alleged
to have been stolen from their church by a
white man whom they claim to know. The
mcnts made, changed hands several times
within recent weeks. The first appearance
OF the book in the late transactions was
when it was found in a trunk owned by the
man now said to have stolen 1t from the
church which trunk, 1t was understood. was
levied upon and the contents sold. The
Bible was bought by a man named Day, it
is said for the sum OF fifteen cents and
later John Berry of the official board of Mt.
Hope Church saw a chance to secure it for
his church and purchased the book of Day
for seventy-five cents.
Soon after the former possessor of the
trunk appeared, making inquiries about me
Bible, which was, he said. family relic and
worth SO. He approached Berry in Ana
costa and endeavored TO make terms by
which the Bible would be returned. but no
agreement was reached. He then. il is
stated, went to several members of the Of
fetal board of the church in Prince George
county, saying he had been sent by Berry
to look after some improvements in the
building. He easily secured admission and
in addition to pointing out work needed
to be done, complimentcd the man who adj
mitted him on the fine Bible the church
had. They left the church together but, it
Is stated, the man returned after they had
separated, entered the building by raising a
window and took the Bible. 1t is said to
have been discovered that he pawned it for
$l.75, and the officers of the church have
found out where it is. The alleged thief Is
said to have gone to West Virginia.

A QUESTION OF vERACITY.
A 1oung Private Secretary's Embar-
rnssinE Expcrience.

II had a narrow call the other day. said
a young private secretary to q cabinet Off
Ger, which illustrates the fallacy of jump
ing at conclusions
There was a certain departmental Sc
cret supposed to be in the keeping Of the
old man and myself only. To our mutual
surprise and TO my intense chagrin, the
whole thing appeared in the columns of a
western paper which has a correspondent
here. The old man called me in, and with
a severe look handed me the paper, asking
how l accounted for its publication
Il knew that / had not spoken of it. so
my conscience was clear
There is but one way to account for it. ;
l answered, and that is that it is coinci-
6enCe'
A coincidence! exclaimed my superior
trif1e annoyed. And how do you account
for the Coincidence, pray?' He knew that
| would cut my right hand off before l
would be false in the slightest particular to
him.
Sir I said. and 1 was conscious of
hushlng, Sir, l repeat that l have not
spoken a word of this matter to any one
more especially to this correspondent. OF
u any newspaper man. l have given you
my word of honor. sir. That has been suf-
hcicnt in the past on any question:
And II IS now said the old man. quick
ly- l beg your pardon. - -: l do not
doubt your word, but it is a d odd COIN
cidence.
NeFertheleSS, maintained, firmly, 1t
IS a coincidence
Il was terribly worried over it. as the
old man took it much to heart. That even
ing | hunted up the correspondent, whom
! Well knew. and asked him how and where
he got the facts which formed the basis for
the article. He replied that since it was
his business to keep himself informed as
to all measures. tangible and probable, af-
fectng his community. he had conceived
the idea which formed the article and which
the old man had intended carrying out as
soon as certain appropriation was avail
able. 1t was of great interest locally and
as matter of news
With this Idea dimly outlined in his
mind, he had sought his senator, and by
Judicious questioning, had obtained the
whole story. OF course. the senator was
cognizant of the matter, but he had not
been thought of. So. you see 1t was merely
coincidence. If the correspondents idea
had come to him a week later, the depart
ment would have had the reform under
way.
AT my solicitation he explained the mat
ter to the old man the following day. The
latter complimented him on his astute pre-
science. glanced at me a bit more benevo-
lently than was his wont, and the incident
was closed with honors even all around

Cially conspicuous.

Some years ago l had occasion to visit
at frequent intervals a street on the west
side of New York, near the river, not far
from the abattoirs of the stock yards of

by breweries. in hauling matted grains, pass
down the street toward the river front filled
with yellow beef fat, tarlow and entrail

Shiny mass, swarming with flies, swashed
in the wagons like much swil, and was
held down by tarpaulins.
"One day, out of curiosity, l followed q
wagon into the yard of the oleomargarine
factory, or creamery and for q short
while, until hustled out by an employee l

manufacture of the stuff, which at that
time was an infant industry. 1t was a foul

JOurneymen Bakers EndeavOr to
Form Closer Union.

A largely attended meeting of journey
men bakers was held last Saturday even
ing at Typographical Temple, under the
auspices of Bakers and Confectioners'
Union, No. lis, for the purpose of uniting
the bakers in one organization. Mr. John
Weber, president of the Bakers Union,
presided. On calling the meeting to order
he expressed the desire of his organization
for the unity and harmony of the craft.
He briefly reviewed the conditions of the
local bakers, which are not as favora BILE he
said, TO the interests of the journeymen as
are those in other cities. He asserted that
frequent efforts had been made by his or
gdniZation to improve the condition of the
local bakers, but through the refusal of
Bakers Assembly to cooperate they had
been unsuccessful For this reason, Mr..
Weber asserted. persistent attempt would

been invited to join the union without the
payment of imitation fee.
The meeting was addressed by Milford
Spohn. Sam. ID. Nedrey. j. H. Brinkman
and Charles S. Squire. The speakers urged
unity within the union organization and
deprecated the inharmonious relations
which exists between the union and assem-

GROWTH OF MISSIONS.
Woman's Society Hears Report From
Work In India.

The Woman's Foreign Missionary Society
held meeting yesterday afternoon at the
Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church
and devoted the session to a consideration
of missionaries in India. The principal
speaker of the afternoon was Miss Isabella
Thoburn. president of the Lucknow Chris
tan College, India For thirty years this
estimable lady has been engaged in mis-
sionary work. When she went to India to
assist in the work the society had no money
with which to compensate her, yet she vol
unteered without pay until the society was
IN position to meet her expenses. How
rapidly the work has grown was shown by
the returns, which indicated a total of over
$36O,OOO sent to India last year by the So
ciety. The speaker dwelt at length upon
the work in that far-away country and
urged the greater interest of American wo-
men and the further education of the
people.
Miss Lillavatti Singh, native of India
and teacher of English literature in the
Lucknow college, was introduced to the au-
dience, dressed in her native costume, and
spoke in an entertaining manner touching
the customs of the country and the people.
