QUIT PULPIT
To CONDUCT
A SALOON
LONG ISLAND PREACHER QUITS
CHURCH AND PURCHASES A.
SALooNi IN WHICH HE IS
BARTENDER.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The Rev. George
X. Macdonald. who until three weeks ago
was pastor of the East Avenue Baptist
church I'm Long Island City, has abandon
ed the pulpit for the saloon business, and
he is doing a rushing business in the
Bronx. s N.Y. .F
He has purchased a saloon and has fit
ted II up deliberately and is doing a re-
tail business Mr.. Macdonald in one short
week has learned to draw beer from
spigot and can mix a. cocktail that reaches
the sDot.
Mr.. Macdonald for a year and half
was pastor of the Long Island church. 1t
is one of the largest church edifices in
Greater New York, having a seating ca
pacity of about thousand Despite its
large capacity the church did not seem to
thrive under the passionate of the Rev. Mr..
Macdonald The members became dis
satisfied and much grImbling was heard.
This later resulted in open charges that
the pastor was drinking more than was
good for him. He neither denied nor
evaded the charges, but admitted. that he
drank moderately. When Mr.. MacDon-
aid preached to his flock what he called
his farewell sermon on December 7th, he
created something of a sensation in the
Baptist denomination. He openly accus-
ed a number of his congregation of cal
umniating him falsely. He denounced
hypocrisy and cant and said il the drink
ing habit had grown on him it was be-
cause members of his own church had
persistently offered him wine and had
placed the cup toshis lips. In fact, that
his first drink of wine was taken IN the
home of one who now denounced him the
loudest.

and Merriman Soloman. Abe's brother,
had had some difficulty and Harris. arm
ed with a 44-calibre Colts pistol was
looking through the crowded streets for
Merriman. saying that he would not
leave town tin he killed him.
A negro friend to both parties was
trying to restrain Harris. but when he
came upon his man he cursed the pacifi-
Gator and told him to stand aside or he
would shoot him. Negro women were
holding Merriman Soloman. but Harris,
regardless OF them and the hundreds of
men. women and children. white and col
ored. fired on Merriman WHO ran through
the crowd as Harris fired the third shot.
one OF which hit Merriman's finger and
shot on his pistol trigger Another hit
his elbow and another his leg Abe Solo
man emptied a shotgun into Harris back
below his right shoulder. As Harris fell
he fired twice and just after he fell fired
his last Pandemonium reigned Abe put
his gun under house and He'd. No effort
was made TO stop him
He is said TO be under $50 bond for
being implicated in a negro shooting AFFAIR

Reports say Harris is Industrious, but
desperate when drinking.
II ne had not fallen. disinterested par
ties would have shot him in defense Of
helpless persons thronging the walks.
The cause OF the difficulty could not be
learned. but at present the opinion here
is almost unanimous that Harris should
have been shot.

The running away of Archduke Ferdi-

Saxony, with a pretty plebeian maid
named Adamovitch. is not as serious a
matter as the elopement of the crown
princess, but it is additional evidence that
some men as we'll as women in the royal

titled drones, and want to be real men
and women. The archduke renounces all
his titles and becomes an ordinary man
