Asbury NJ. E. Church was postnonc5-
at the last moment bv the pastor Rev.
Vaughan S. Collins, on account IF the
inclemency of the weather. The wet
weather had affected the attendance
very materially, and the pastor is de-
sirous of having large number of the
old people out when he breaches to
them, so he decided to postpone the
service until next Sunday week, the 27th
inst. Notwithstanding the disagree
able day, there was a goodly number
of old people out last Sunday morn

Rorrowino Powder.

A lieutenant of the United States
navy tells, in the Boston Herald, a
story about the etiquette of naval sa-
luteS.
A ship ! was on dropped anchor in a
little Haytian port known to have a
battery in its forts. We gave the ma
tional salute, but waited in vain for
an answer. l was sent ashore to de-
mand an explanation, and was told,
with many apologies, that no powder
was on hand, but that people had been
sent to a neighboring town for it, and
the salute would be returned as soon
Us it arrived.
This did not please our captain, who
sent back word that if the salute We're
not fired by sunset, he would consider
it an insult to the United States. In
answer to this a dusky Haytian officer,
covered with gilt and trailing huge
sword, came on board and said that if
we would kindly lend him some pow
der the salute would be returned at
once. Our captain relented, gave him
the powder, and the booming of TWEEN
ty-one guns was soon heard.

Chfnch-Bugs for Sale.

A man who kept a little store IN a
Western town was one morning ap-
preached by farmer who owed him a
small amount, with a plea for an ex-
tension of time, as the chinch bugs
We're eating up all the crops.
"Chinch bugs! Nonsenser said the
storekeeper, roughly. Il don't believe
there's chinch bug within a mile of
you
The chinch bugs are there by mill
ions"
Millions! III tell you what I'll do.
I'll give you dollar and half gallon
for every gallon of the bugs you'll bring
me-"
"Donev' said the farmer.
A day or two after he drove back to
the village with ten gallon can tight
" covered. This he unloaded from his
wagon and rolled carefully into the gen
eral store.
What have you got there?" asked
the merchant suspiciously.
Something for YOU
What is it,"
"Chinch bugs said the farmer. He
lifted the lid and disclosed mass of
the hideous insects, wriggling and
squirting.
There's ten gallons of them he COR
tinued. Il take it you owe me fifteen
dollars. That will just about square
my little bill, and I'll thank you to give
me receipt"
Cover it up, for goodness sake, be-
fore any of 'em get away" roared the
unhappy dealer.
But he wrote the receipt so justly
forfeited.
The story came out in the papers, and
for months thereafter the storekeeper
received letters asking for the latest
quotations on the price of chinch bugs,
and inquiring how many he was pre-
pared TO take
However, he had nothing to regret,
for, as he said the experience was
worth thousand dollars to him in ad-
vertising.

Children Cremated During Night Fire

in an Orphan Asylum.
Nineteen children and two nurses were
burned to death in a fire which swept
through the Rochester Orphan Asylum,
Rochester, y. Y, at l O'Clock Tuesday
morning. There We're 100 children and
thirty nurses asleep in the building when
the fire started.
Almost all the inmates of the asylum
were hemmed in by flames and scores of
them lost consciousness. They were car
lied from the burning structure by fire.
men.
The FIRE was discovered in the hospital
section by two men passing on the street.
They gave the alarm, but by the time the
fremen reached the scene the whole asy-
lum was ablaze. Before the engines got
to work a terrific explosion Occurred and
in a moment the entire building and out
buildings were afame The confusion
was extraordinary and few details of the
exact loss Of life could be gotten from
the excited nurses or children who es-
capped.
When the firemen who responded to
general alarm arrived the inmates were
jumping from the windows, and the at
tendants were throwing infants out re-
gardless of where they might fall. The
largest number of dead is among children
ranging in age from one to three and four
years.
The origin Of the fire is not known. The
property loss will probably exceed 500,
900. The asylum is located in Hubbell

Several Rich Boys Are Kept Locked Up
Like Prisoners.
The kidnapping of young Cudahy has
attracted renewed attention to this peril
of wealthy families. 1t is a form Of crime
kept constantly in mind by several resi-
dents of New York City, who take every
precaution to guard themselves against
such exper nee. This is particularly no
ticeable in the country houses of two
New York families In one of these the
youthful heir to many millions, on whose
life depends much Of the family's wealth,
is quartered in a wing Of the house. Ev-
cry window and door is barred as if the
rooms formed prison and not nursery,
and one man is always stationed about
the house and the grounds with no other
duty than to watch this child and keep
him and his nurses constantly in view.
IL steal this 14iid would require the eff
forts of small and very well-equipped
army, as all the employees of the estab-
lishment, whether they come directly into
contact with the youngster or not, are
impressed with the idea that nothing else
is so important as his safety. Somewhat
older are two boys who are some day
likely to inherit millions. They are pro-
tected with almost equal thoroughness,
and one Of the interesting sights of their
fathers country house is the floor which
they occupy. Every window is as strong
Iy barred as if precautions were taken to
keep desperate characters inside the
house rather than to keep them out.

The sang-froid of the average man IS
never-ending source of amazement
to the average woman, who is nothing
if not impulsive and excitable
A big gray horse attached to an ex-
press wagon, for instance, took it into
his sagacious head to run away while
his driver was standing on the steps of
a nearby house, so he dashed madly
down Charles street, which was crowd
ed with children and vehicles of all
sorts; threatening every moment q dire
catastrophe.
Four or FIVE brilliant gentlemen walk
ing up the thoroughfare saw the dam
ger and rushed out into the street,
shouting and waving their arms in a
way to frighten an animal not already
frenzied, says the Baltimore News.
The ears, of the big gray horse We're ~
ing fat against his head by this time,
and its pace had increased until its
hoof beats sounded like those of stage
horse bringing bad news to the heroine
of drama.
Walking toward this oncoming gray
fury was a colored man, his own horse
attached to coal cart stepping sedate-
ly beside him. When the runaway
was almost upon the man and the on
lockers were beginning to Shrek with
apprehension lest the lattes be killed,
he just pulled himself together for a
spring, and, calling to the animal in a
soothing voice, jumped for the bride,
caught it, was dragged a few feet, but
finally succeeded in bringing the trem-
bling gray to a standstill
Then he held him until the driver
came running up. And here is the re-
markable part of the story, for that
youth clambered into the wagon and,
Selling the reins, drove off without be-
slowing word or a glance in the di-
rection of the colored man.
