A Thrifty Divine.

Prehaps the Rev. Il. Dewitt
Talmage never met in the road
that prehistoric proverb which
AYERS that charity begins in ones
own back yard. He was a great
and good man, and will be missed.
During his ministry he induced n
great many poor people to on
tribute a great many gold dollars
toward the support of the church
at home and Ellen Stones abroad
backing up his appeal with holy
writ which, as everybody knows,
declares that "A rich man has no
more show to enter the kingdom
of heaven than Blum Jay has to
swap his new barn for a taste of
Washingtonian strenuous life.
And yet, while the great divine
probably dropped something in
the slot once in a while himself,
yet his last will and testament
which was filed for probate at
Washington the other day proves
that he could have Clipped in ear
lier and oftener and at least twice
in n while, without serious de-
pletion Of his bank balance. He
died worth a cool 100000, all of
which goes to his family; me.

Arlington Man Talks
Of His Case and Is
Hopeful OF Pardon.

Fourteen months in a convict's
stripes have changed Thomas G.
Barker, the man who shot the Rev.
John Kellar at Arlington, N. j. In
an interview in Trenton Prison
Barker, while still proclaiming his
faith in and undimlnished love for
his wife, whose story of undesired
attentions from the rector of the
little E~piscopalian church was given
as the motive which led to the
shooting, denies that she has de-
serted him. He says she is with his
people in Warwick, England. He
has not heard that the Barker De-
Tense Association has become dis
rupted and is practically disbanded.
for he still looks for a new trial
through the efforts of the associa-
ton.

1t was in Bayard Taylor's day that
the sun myth had its vogue. One night
at party Taylor was greatly bored by
the persistent efforts of a guest to dis
cuss sun myths. No matter what direc-
ton the conversation might take, this
person would ruthlessly drag it back
again to his favorite topic.
At last the distressed poet raised a
very interesting question in regard to
the threadbare subject. Did you ever
think" he asked, ''that the name Smith,
so common all over the world, is de-
rived from sun myth?" No one had
ever dreamed of such thing. Max Null
Ter had overlooked the point complete
ly.
"Quite possible; certainly most plau-
sible," said Taylor. "Sun myth, Su-
myth, Smyth, Smith, and some still
spell the name with a y" The discus
sion was ended.

Expedittng the Election Returns.

If voting machines We're used in the
elections in Illinois and other states,
there would not be the annoying de-
lay in learning the results that has
become peculiarly characteristic of
the state. Machines make it possible
to announce the result within n very
few minutes after the polls are
closed.
Besides this. there is no possibility
of an error in the count. The ma
chine can not be stuffed its figures
can not be juggled with, nor can vo-
ter be cheated out of his vote because
of defective or wrongly marked bal
lot.

their speed and accuracy would make
them highly desirable.

Coal Trust Deceived People Until
After Election

New York dispatch to Chicago
Tribune: Immediately after election
retail coal dealers in this city were
notified by the sales agents of the
anthracite roads that there would be
a scarcity of anthracite during the
entire winter. Before the election
the anthracite coal roads gave the
impression that by the present time
coal would be reaching New York in
sufficient quantities to supply all
needs. The representatives of the
roads say now that the coal supply
here will be so scant that soft coal
will have to be used all winter, even
if the winter should prove a mild
one. An officer of the Lackawanna
road said today:
There will not be time this win
ter when man will be able to fill
his cellar with coal. The customer
who wants 10 tons probably will get
a ton. We shall do all we can to get
coal enough here to supply the city's
absolute needs, but if the use of soft
coal is stopped some one will suffer"
a canvass of the larger coal dealers
made reveals the fact that the scar
city of coal is almost as great as it

what would be the result? The very

heat enough would be generated by
the shock to transform both of the col
liding bodies into gigantic balls of va
pOr many times their present circum
ferences. Some have thought that in
case the center of the earth is COM
posed of solid and colder matter than
is the generally accepted belief this
might not be the case. but after search
ing all the leading authorities | must
admit that l cannot find more ap-
propriate ''finis' than the following.
which is from an eminent scientist:
Should such an unheard of event occur
the heat generated would be sufficient
to melt. boil and completely vaporize n
