Boy and Presiding Elder.

Anecdotes Of preachers being on
tap, Hon. J John Dougherty Of Mis-
souri contributed the following
In one of the counties composing
the Third Congressional district Of
Missouri there lives q good Christian
lady, a devout and consistent mem-
Der of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South. Some days before
the date of a quarterly conference
held there some years ago our good
lady friend received word that the
presiding elder would be her guest
for a afew days during the meeting.
In order to convince the elder that
she had been and was doing her
Christian duty in the matter of train
ing her only child, boy about four
years old, to walk in "the straight
and narrow path" she thought it not
amiss to give him some special in
structions before the minister arrived.
So taking the little fellow upon her
lap one day she told him that the
presiding elder, big and great
man, would visit them soon and that
he would "be very sure to ask some
questions about your Sunday school,
how you like your teacher, etc. But
probably the first questions he asks
will be: What is your namep How
old are your Do you know where
bad boys go when they die2 Now,
when he asks your name, tell him
Johnnie Jones. When he asks how
old you are, tell him four years old,
and when he asks if you know where
bad boys 90 when they die, tell him,
using the Scriptnral word, that bad
boys, when they die, go to hell"
John was drilled on these questions
daily until the minister came. In
the meantime he knew by rote that
his name was Johnnie Jones, that he
was four years old and that when
bad boys die they go to hell.
The minister was portly gentle
man Of friendly manner and pleasant
countenance. After receiving COR
dial welcome he was seated in the
sitting room, and the proud parent
excused herself and sought Johnnie,
the pride and expectancy of her life,
to introduce him to the minister.
After Johns face was washed, his
hair combed and he was otherwise
made presentable his mother led him
in to meet the preacher. AS the
urchin entered the sitting room he
observed through the open door a
neighbor playmate sitting on the
fence whistling for him and calling
him to come out quick. Johnnie at
once grew impatient to 60 out and
wished the ceremony of meeting the
preacher and answering his questions
to be done with as quickly as possi-
BILE. The doting mother introduced
him as the youngest and her only
child, the baby of the family. The
good minister called the boy to him
and taking his little chubby hand in
his own remarked "What a very
handsome lad How like his mother /"
His next question was exactly as
had been anticipated. "Well, my
little man, what is your name?" The
boy glanced first up to the minister,
then at his waiting playmate and,
intending to expedite matters as
much az possible by answering the
three expected questions at once, re-
piled, "Johnnie Jones, four years
old, 60 to hell" and in the confusion
that followed skipped TO meet his
friend.- Champ Clark.

Volume OF Postal Business.

Some interesting figures are set
forth in the report of the Postmaster
General showing the volume Of bust
ness carried on during the past fiscal
year, and the report gives unmistak-
able evidence of prosperous condi-
tions throughout the country, for
while the national population has
increased only 2 per cent the volume
of postal business has increased 8
per cent.
Altogether the receipts of the post
office department for the year aggre-
gate the sum of $111, ,631, ,193. Usu-
ally tho receipts fall short of the ex-
penditure by something like S8,O00,.
600 per annum, but this year, in
spite of increased operations caused
by the extension of the free delivery
postal system and other improve
ments, the shortage amounts to only
$3,023,727, the total expenditures
being $1l5,58a,o20.

CONFESSION OF THE ASSASSIN
Says He Became On Anarchist Through the
influence of Emma Goldman.

Buffalo, N. Y. (SpeciaD When the
would-be assassin was first brought be-
fore the police authorities he gave the
name of Fred Niemen, and claimed that
his home was in Detroit. Later the de-
,tcctives learned that his real name was
Leon Czolgosz, and that he was born in
Detroit and came here from Cleveland.
Late at night he signed a confession
covering six pages of foolscap which
state that he is an anarchist and that he
became an enthusiastic member of that
body through the influence of Emma
Goldman, whose writings he had read
and whose lectures he had listened to.
He denies having any confederate and
says he decided on the act three days ago
and bought the revolver with which the
act was committed in Buffalo.
He has seven brothers and sisters in
Cleveland, and the Cleveland directory
has the names of about that number liv-
ing on Hosmer street and Ackland ave-
nue., which adjoin. Some of them are
butchers and others in different trades.
He is now detained at police headquar-
tiers pending the result of the Presidents
injuries.
Czolgosz does not appear in the least
degree uneasy or penitent for his action.
He says he was induced by his attention
to Emma Goldman's lectures and writ
ings to decide that the present form OF
government in this country was all
wrong, and he thought the best way to
end it was by killing the President.

BREAKING THE NEWS TO MRS M'KINLEY.
The Painful Task Fell to Dr. Rixey--Stood
II Brayely.

Buffalo, n. Y. Especially Immediate
ly the President was cared for at the ex-
position grounds Director General w. l..
Buchanan started for the Milburn resi-
dence. to forestall any information that
might reach there by telephone or other
wise. Very luckily, he was first TO ar
rive with the information. The Niagara
Falls trip had tired Mrs. Mckinley, and
on returning to the Milburn residence
she took leave of her nieces, the Misses
Barber. and the Presidents niece, Miss
Duncan, as we'll as their hostess, Mrs.
Milburn, and went to her room to rest.
Mr.. Buchanan broke the news as gen.
uy as possible to the nieces, and consulted
with them and Mrs. Mlburn as to the
best course 10 pursue in breaking the
news to Mrs. Mckinley. 1t was finally
decided that on her awakening, or shortly
thereafter, Mr.. Buchanan should break
the news 10 her, if in the meantime her
physician, DR.. Rixey, had not arrived.
Mrs. Mckinley awoke from her sleep
at about $50 o'clock. She was feeling
splendidly, she said, and at once took
up her crocheting, which, as we'll known,
is one of her favorite diversions.
At 7.2o o'clock DR.. Rxey came out OF
the house, accompanied by Col. Webb
Hayes, son of ex-P-Ssident Hayes,
who is a friend Of President Mckinley.
They entered a carriage and returned to
the Exposition hospital.
After DR.. Rixey had gone Director
General Buchanan said that the Doctor
had broken the news in most gentle
manner to Mrs. Mckinley He said
she stood it bravely, though consider
ably affected.
II it was possible to bring him to her
she wanted it done. DR.. Rixey assured
her that the President could be brought
with safety from the Exposition
grounds, and when he left Mr.. Milburn
it was to complete ell arrangements for
the removal OF the President. When
the President was borne into large
and comfortable room Mrs. Mckinley
was admitted TO see him.

| William Mckinley, President Of iii
United States, was shot twice and serl'
ously wounded by Leon Czolgosz,
self-coniessed anarchist. at 4 o'clock
Friday afternoon in the Temple OF MI
sic at the an-Ameriean Exposition al
Buffalo.
The assassin denies that he had an
accompiice, but an unknown Italian
who was near him before lie fred, acted
suspiciously. Czolgosz says he is a dis
ciple OF Emma Goldman. Late Friday
night six anarchists were arrested in
Chicago charged with being implicated
in a plot to kill the President.
The President was holding a public
reception. The edihce was packed with
people. Czolgosz was in the line Ct
those shaking hands with the President.
One OF his hands was concealed by a
bandage, which also hid revolver. AS
the President turned smilingIy toward
him and extended his hand the Pole
fred twice before two secret service Off
GERS and colored man seized him and
disarmcd him.
The shots were followed by the Wild
est confusion Women and children
were almost crushed in the panic. The
/ President alone was calm. He stepped
back. dropped into a chair on the dias
near the great organ turned to friend
and said. Il am wounded" The next
thought was OF his wife. DO not ex-
aggregate the extent of my injury he
said. The wounded President was re-
moved TO a hospital on the grounds,
where physicians and surgeons exam
med him. 1t was found that one bullet
had struck the breastbone and glanced
off. The o:her penetrated the stomach
and The surgeons were unable TO locate
it. The President bore the operation
we'll
The abdomen was opened through the
line OF the bullet wound. 1t was found
that the bullet had penetrated the stom-
ach. The opening in the front wall OF
the stomach was carefully closed with
silk stitches, after which search was
made for a hole in the back wall OF the
stomach. This was found and closed in
the same WaV
The further course OF the bullet could
no. be discovered, though careful search
was made. The abdominal wound was
closed without drainage. No injury to
the intcstines or other abdominal Or
gans was discovered.
The latent stood the operation well,
pulse OF good quality, at rate of 1870,
condition at the conclusion of operation
gratifying. The result cannot be fore
told His condition at present justifies
hope OF recovery.
Senator Hanna, in conference with
the physicians at midnight, was told that
the results depended on the next 4S
hours. Nothing definite can be known
before that time. All that is feared is
peritonitis or similar trouble.
