SUICIDE OF A CLERGYMAN.
A Young Drew Seminary Student
Hangs Himself in n Church.

WASHINGTON, N. J.. Aug. 21.-The
Rev George B. Harrington, a young Drew
Seminary student, who was enjoying his
first charge at oxford. three miles from
this place committed suicide yesterday
by hanging himself in his church.
On Wednesday. August 7, the Rev. Mr..
Harrington was married under somewhat
sensational circumstances to Miss Ida
Tice, the organist in the Methodist church
at oxford, and it is largely due to the
criticism heaped upon him for this act
that he took his life. The young couple
drove to Belvidere on the date named and,
without asking the consent of anyone.
were married by the Rev. Nathaniel
Brooks, pastor of the Methodist church in
that town.
The young folks had known each other
fer about two months. They went to
housekeeping at once in the parsonage
connected with the church. and only last
Sunday night the members rendered them
a reception. Some of the older members
of the church shook their heads and said
unkind things to the young man, and it
is thought he must have received some
" ord from the authorities at Drew which
made it impossible for him to return
there. To some OF his friends he had
written the last few days, expressing
grave doubts as to whether his hasty mar
riage was proper. and had said that he
was much worried over its probable effect
on his chosen career
Yesterday morning he left the house to
go to a store. He promised his wife that
he would return at l o'clock for dinner.
When the husband did not return at
o'clock his wife began TO wonder what
had become of him and began seriously
to consider a remark he had made that
morning when he stated that he proposed
to end his life before the day was done
She had only laughed at him when he
had said the words, thinking he was not
in earnest.
Search was Immediately made and the
body was found hanging in the church
belfry.

The emperor OF Germany Is always
meeting with accidents, although OH
the middle finger of his left hand he
wears q famous tGlisman which for
centuries has been credited with n su.
pernatural power to protect the wearer
from evil and injury of all kinds. 1t is
a dark colored, square shaped stone,
set in n massive gold ring, and original
ly belonged to Saladln, from whom II
was captured by n German knight I'M
der the walls Of Jerusalem durins the
crnsades. ], afterward came into the
possession of Ulricii, TIE margIi1t of
Nuremberg, who was the founder of
the Hohenzollern family. This ring
has been passed down from generation
to generation, one of the most highly
priced and interesting heirlooms Of the
dynasty, but the kings Of Prussia OF
late generations have seldom worn it
until 1t was inherited by the present
kaiser. II Is a matter of discussion
whether he wears it from superstition
or ordinary interest. 1t has never left
his finger since he came to the throne,
although by this time he must have
lost confidence in the protective power
of the Jewel.

The ahnc Toe.

"The uniformity in the style Of toes
has done n good deal to reconcile the
manufacturer to the close margins on
which he Is doing business" said n
leading shoe man. "For instance, when
a radical change of toe ome up, such
as we had when the London toe was
changed to the Piccadilly toe, the coin
to the dime md subsequently to the "a
zor and needle toe, 1t compelled manu-
facturers to equip their factories with
entirely new lasts and at an expense
not unfrequently OF $1,000 or nor
where a factory was large. When that
ugly abominatlon was discarded, and
we trust for all time, all manufacture
ers were compelled TO change their en-
tire system, and new lasts that we did
not work owe II season were put IN
der our boilers for fuel. The uniform
ity Of the prevailing style Of toe is not
only sensible, but will not, In my opin-
ion, be radically changed for years, be-
cause 1t appeals to the good sense of
wearers and is in perfect style."-Shoe
