An Experiment That Failed.

In order to encourage marriage in
Servia all young persons with at least
1000 dinars in the government savings
banks were until recently presented
upon their wedding day with a hand
some premium from the bank directors
The consequence was that all these
young people upon reaching the age Of
eighteen FASTENED to marry. The di-
vorce frequently followed as soon as
the money was run through. AS there
is thus no chance of the expected in
crease in the population, the generous
premium has been withdrawn.

Nine. Media and the Reporter

The great singer is isolated from the
world in general and in certain direc-
tons dependent for information upon
the narrow circle in which she lives.
When her course in situation requires
especial tact, Nine. Melba questions
those whom she trusts that she may
thoroughly understand things. But
there are moments when tact is thrown
to the winds. ''Mme. Melba," said a
reporter for a certain paper, eff you
won't give me an interview | will fake
one"
"Then fake" was the laconic reply.
"Did you read wat you are sup
posed to have said?' some one asked
her later.
eff read everything they print about
me- said Melba, do you suppose l
could sing?"-Ainslee's Magazine.

A Maine Moose Call.

A new kind of a moose call is in
use in Washington county, Me. 1t is
the whistling buoy near the entrance
of Moosabec Reach, and it is said to
be the cause of the big bull moose
which for several weeks has been
known to frequent the seashore in that
section to still linger in that vicinity.
With the wind blowing from the east
the blast of the buoy is heard several
miles inland, and the sound at this
distance is said by the old hunters to
closely resemble the trumpetings of a
moose. 1t is alleged even that the
wandering moose has been heard to
respond with answering call when the
sound of tho buoy is heard.

The Methodist Ministry Overlooking.
There is not only no falling off of re-
cruits for the ministry in the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, but rather an in
crease. Instead of there being dearth
in the ministerial ranks of the denomi-
nation having the largest membership
of any Protestant religious body in
this country there is positively pleth-

regular standing who annually desire

a full and perfect right to do under
our peculiar church economy.-Zion's

Dean Farrar of Canterbury cathedral,

England last week by declaring that

hold in it's membership the masses OF

A REMARKABLE BANQUET.
The Pine Forest Dinner That Was
Served I'm Delmonico's.

Served In DeImonfco's.
One of the most remarkable private
dinners in the history of Delmonico's
was given in New York recently by
Mr.. George Heye. For the pleasure of
entertaining nine guests from fifteen
minutes past O'Clock until half past
10 O'Clock Mr.. Heye transformed the
red room of Delmonicos into q minia-
ture bower in pine forest and spread
before them a repast which cost him
about 500 for each of the ten covers
laid.
Hundreds of pine boughs, says the
New York Herald, had been brought
from the woods, and these were so ad-
justed upon the walls. ceiling and floor
of the apartment as to completely con-
ceal their original character. Invisible
wires were stretched through them and
connected with hundreds of small in
caudescent electric light globes, which
peeped out from the green boughs on
walls and ceiling. Each globe was
shaped like an orchid and shone with
a pale green light that lent reality to
the semblance of the rare woodland
flower.
Over the crash that covered the door
had been strewn pine boughs, tangles
of thick woodland moss and bushels of
autumn leaves in all their rich tints Of
scarlet, yellow and gray. A round Ia
BILE, eight feet in diameter, made of I'M
finished oak, rose from the litter of
moss and leaves, and it's stout legs were
completely covered with green and gray
moss. Ranged around the table were
the ten chairs, each of which, especial
ly built for this occasion, was made of
black birch boughs fashioned in varied
rustic designs and with the bark left
on the surface.
The center of the table was a mound
Of maidenhalr fern, moss and oak
leaves in their autumnal tints. Twenty
or thirty electric globes, like those peep
ing from the walls, were arranged
among the ferns and MOSES in the cen
ter of the table, and in front of each
cover was a cluster of thirty of the
rarest of natural green orchids that the
hothOuses of New York could supply.
There was no other illumination of the
room than that furnished by the green
globes of the small electric lights, and
the effect was like that of twilight in a
pine forest
The name cards for each guest were
painted on oak leaves and the menus
on squares Of white birch bark about
10 by inches in size. The wines were
all of the rarest and most expensive
vintages.

Boston colored Churches.

'SThere are now fifteen Independent
colored churches in Boston, where thir-
ty years ago it was difficult to support
one" says the Boston Transcript. 'The
colored people are not crowded out of
the white churches, although very few
attend them now, but they prefer to
worship by themselves One reason
for this Is that education has fitted
more colored people to be leaders Of
their own people and pastors of their
own churches"

How sankey Composes His Hymns.

AS he sings, so Mr.. Sankey composes
the tunes for his hymns inspired by the
feeling of the moment. Often he will
stop suddenly in the midst of reading
or talking to jot down on the ever
ready music paper some bit of melody
th & comes to him. These jottings he
gathers together and develops at his
leisure, sometimes fitting them to poems
preserved in his scrapbook, sometimes
getting Fannie Crosby or another hymn
writer to write words especially for
his music. He once said, Good words
will soon attract good tune" He be-
lieves in melody always over harmony
as a power to move people.-Ladies'
Home Journal.

Benjamin B. Wells. thirty-five years of
age was arrested last night by Sergeant
LYDIA, of the Second precinct, and locked
up on a charge of destroying private prop
erty. The police allege that the prisoner
was caught in the act of hurting a stone
through the second-story window in the
rear of the home of Mrs. Puryear, near
the corner of Ninth and NJ Streets north

they alleged made a habit of breaking
tn windows in the rear of their houses
with stones. Policemen We're detailed to

On the contrary the department believes
it to be the first duty of the members OF

and does not believe that such assistance
is a secondary matter or mere incident

that the surgeons must, in their own IN

THE LooNEY CASE VERDICT.
The Pitman's Death Due to an I'm
ayOida5Ie Accident.

The inquest held yesterday morning at
the New Jersey Avenne police station to
enquire into the circumstances attending
the death of James Looney, the pitman
who was electrocuted at the corner of
Thirty-sixth Street and Prospect Avenue
Sunday evening, resulted in the finding
of a verdict that the deceased came to
his death as the result of an unavoidable
accident.
Looney was thirty-two years old, was
reputed to be one OF the best pitmen in
the employ of the Washington Traction
and Electric Company. and leaves a
widow and two children, who live at 923
Florida Avenue northwest. The inquest
was conducted by Coroner Nevitt. and
Wolfe & Rosenburg appeared as attor-
neys in the interest of the family of the
deceased.
The story of the tragedy was obtained
from half a dozen witnesses. 1t was
Looneys duty to adjust the plows to the
cars as they passed from the overhead
to the underground circuits. On Sunday
afternoon, after taking the plow from
car 4S2, pound for Cabin John Bridge, he
gave the signal for the motorman to go
ahead before he had closed the switch.
AS the car promptly moved ahead cur
rent of $50 volts shot through his body.
He fell to the bottom of the pit uncon-
scious. He was removed to the George
town University Hospital. where he died
few moments after he was admitted.

STAGE INFLUENCE ON GIRLS.
A Judge Speaks of 1t in Restoring
Douglass Twins to Their Mother

Two little girls, twin sisters, Virgie Lee
Douglass and Grace X. Douglass. eleven
years old, cried yesterday in Justice Brad
ley's court because the court ordered them
returned to their mother. taking them
away from their grandmother and aunt
who claim to have raised them since they
were little babies. The grandmother, Ra-
chel A. Bell, and the aunt, Jessie II. Ole
rich, showed signs of anger, resentment,
and sorrow when Judge Bradley gave his
decision.
The hearing was in habeas corpus pro-
ceedings instituted by Minnie B. Bibb the
mother of the two little girls, to recover
possession of them. The respondents
claimed that the mother of the children
was divorced from her first husband; that
she has failed to support the children, ex-
cept for short time when she had them
with her in Savannah, Ga. She took them
there, the aunt alleges, in order to secure
some property, amounting, she claims, to
something over $4,000. Mrs. Bibb de-
clared that between the years 1894 and 1898
she supported them. Property interests
are at the base of the claims of the grand
mother and aunt, she declared.
The court in summing up the evidence
gave the children into the custody of the
offered. The children will remain In the
custody of the present guardians until
the case is finally decided.
In rendering his decision Justice Bradley
stated that the mother was entitled by
nature and by law to the custody of her
children. The aunt. he stated, was said
to have been a member of the Weber e.
Fields vaudeville company, and while
that was nothing to her discredit. he said,
he thought that the influence of the moth
er was for the better.
As he spoke and the tenor of his re-
marks became evident tears gathered in
the eyes of the twin sisters in dispute and
poured in torrents over their baby faces.
They clung to their aunt and grandmoth-
er and showed plainly where they wished
TO remain. one of the little girls. who
was said by the aunt, Jessie II. Olerich,
after the trial to have been on the stage
a one time, advanced toward the court at
the conclusion of Justice Bradlcy's re-
marks and attempted to address the JUS
tice.
Justice Bradley motioned her back. He
said: Little girl, you are demonstrating
by your actions the wisdom OF the court $
decision" The motion for an appeal was
then made.
