DR.. Talmage, during his visit to
England in 1879, had been en-
gagged to preach in church in one
Of the large towns in England. On
arriving at the building he found
1t besieged by throng Of from
1900 to 10000 people, Naturally

ed of the pastor, don't you let

A visiting Englishman who at

a New York hostess whose hospi-

Promising Farmer and Stockraiser.

Attorney w. H. Allen, in addi-
ton to the interest manifested in
his professional duties, has ac-
,quired an inclination for farming
and stockraising. Sometime ago
he became the proud possessor of
q pig, and Notwithstanding the
discomfort it occasions to those
residing in that neighborhood by
it's proficient tenor voice, w. H.
is proud of the animal and feeds
it occasionally to mature the
vocal delivery. He has adopted
the suggestion of Col. E. L. Huff
man, to feed it one day and starve
it the next in order to produce a
streak of fat and one of lean.
In addition to his stock inter-
ests he has acquired temporary
use of about ten acres of ground,
which he intends to cultivate { by
proxy and will plant it in sor-
ghum to be raised for the market,
whether for shipment or local sale

Henry Was His Fathers Favorite

Prince Henry Of Prussia, who
was recently the nations guest,
was deeply loved by his father, the
late Emperor Frederick. 1t was
to him that the emperor wrote on
slip of paper, when he was no
longer able to speak: "You, at
least, have never given me a mo-
ment's sorrow, and will make as
good husband as you have been
a loving SON." And after his
death it was learned that the en-
peror had left the largest portion
of his fortune to his beloved son,
Henry.

Photograph Evidence Didn't Count

A judge Of one of the New York
courts came to the rescue Of an
actress who was before him the
other day on the charge of being
an unfit person to have the care OF
her child. One of the items of ev-
idence put in by the prosecution
was somewhat risky photograph
of the actress, but the Judge dis
posed of it by observing that,
while the photograph was certain
ly outre and something that no
delicate-minded woman in private
life would permit, the fact was to
be borne in mind that the pro-
fession followed by the young
woman was of a character that
made such photographs more ex-
cusable than would otherwise be
the case. No doubt, said the
judge, the motive in this instance
was nothing worse than that
which induces so many college
boat crews to exhibit themselves
in scant attire, and it was unreal
sonable to infer an impure or evil
purpose in its production. So the
actress mother was not deprived
of the custody of her child.

London hotel announces the pos

An Innsbruck hotel has "splen-

at London, "the rendezvous Of the

the Southern Pacific railroad is no
respector of persons. One day he
had appointments at his Office
with millionaires John w. Mac

before they arrived Mr.. Hartman
was engaged in conversation in
his private Office with third per-
son, who had entered a few min
utes before the magnates Of fl
nance. Those gentlemen were
therefore compelled to wait until
the close of the pending interview,
which lasted full hour. They
were furious, but their business
was important and they had no re-
course but to wait. They stormed
a little after they had gained &C
cess to the presence they sought,
but went away apparently molli-
fed.
