Barberton, Aug. 21.-Ralph Wilson,

Affecting a Young
Minister
Have Resulted In Charges Being
Preferred.

Portsmouth. o., Aug. 21.-For some
time rumors have been circulated con-
Meeting the name of Rev. G. A. Eel
lows, pastor of Manley Methodist
church, and Miss Risby Algerbright.
These rumors became generally cir
culated some weeks ago, when Rev.
Fellows was sick at his home. At
that time his family was living at
Delaware, o., where one Of his daugh-
ters was attending school. AS soon
as Rev. Fellows was able. to talk on
such matters members of the official
board of the church and Presiding
Elder Dillon had a long talk with him,
telling him of the rumors and asking
him what he desired done. Stoutly
maintaining his innocence, he refused
to demand an investigation.
Yesterday members Of the church,
whose names are withheld by the
presiding elder, formulated charges
against the minister and presented
them to Presiding Elder DR.. Dillon,
who quietly appointed DR.. w. G. Lott,
pastor of one of the Ironton Metho-
dist churches. as attorney for the
church and ordered him to take depo-
sitions. Last night DR.. Lott quietly
slipped down here and laid before DR..
Dillon and other church officials the
facts he had discovered. Elder Dillon
said, when asked if charges had been
preferred:
''Yes, by members of the church. I
will not now disclose their Names"
DR.. Dillon stated that the court to
sit in the case would be composed of
ministers of the Portsmouth district
and that he would appoint them soon.
This court will make thorough in
vestigation. Its findings, together
with all the evidence, will be. trans
mitted to the GAINESVILLE conference.

the mourners was Mrs. Edna Clark, for
love of whom the dead man threw
away his life.
Mrs. Clark expressed deep regret at
the death of Cahoon, but said that,
though 1t was true that he had killed
himself for love of her, she had never
dared him, as his last letter to her
implied, and that she does not consid-
er herself blameworthy.
ED loved the very ground walked

tremely jealous. He never wanted me
to have any other company and in our
work about the hotel would hardly let

SHE LOVED HER
OLD LOVE BEST
And Now She Must Answer q
Bigany Charge.

Findlay, o., Aug. 21.-Charles Hum
phrey, business man, has sued for
divorce, charging bigamy. Last Feb
ruary he married Miss Eva Parker, of
Paulding, and brought her to a hand
some home here. In April she went
home on a visit and declined to re-
turn. Last week she was married to
an old sweetheart, Levon Painter, of
Paulding. Humphreys has caused the
arrest of both. His wife admitted
the charge of bigamy, but Painter
pleads innocence. The Humphrey
home here is handsome one, and
the only reason the woman gives is
that she loved her old love best.

What Caterpillars Taste Like.

In some cases an insect-as the cater
pillar of the maybe moths conspicu-
ously colored because, as it is harmful
food for birds, frogs or lizards, they
must be warned to avoid it, says the
London Daily News. This has been
| long asserted, but some naturalists
have hesitated to accept the theory
Professor Plateau went out one day
and ate part of one Of these so-called
| "distasteful" insects. He reported that
the flavor, If somewhat insipid, was
| sweetish, containing a suggestion Of al
mond, and was on the whole not I'M
| pleasant. AfterWard Professor Wheel
er, of Texas, was induced to repeat this
gastronomic adventure. His report
concerning the insect he devoured was
slightly sweet and distinctly "nutty,"
and he earnestly invited naturalists to
eat insects Unfortunately on all their
expeditions. That, Professor Wheeler
declared, would be the best way to dis
pose Of the theory that some insects
were harmful to birds, lizards and
frogs, and that their colors were self
protective in warning those creatures
to abstain from gobbling them up. But
Mr.. Guy Marshall, the distinguished
naturalist Of Mashonaland, after PROV
ing that, as matter of fact, frogs,
birds and lizards do abstain from eating
the highly colored caterpillars, pointed
out that the personal tests made by his
brother entomologists were Of no worth,
inasmuch as man was not naturally an
insect eating animal, and what was
food to him might be poison, or at any
rate highly unpalatable, to a frog.
