CHURCH DAMAGED
! BY A MISCREANT
Some One Turns Water
on and Floods the
Baptist Church.

When the pastor and his people as
sembled at the Baptist church on We'd
nesday night for prayer meeting, they
found the church flooded with water
and their purpose to worship was de-
feated.
Some miscreant had forced open the
rear door leading to the engine room,
turned on the water into the boiler in
the engine by opening up the valves
The water was forced through the pipes
into the main auditorium of the beauti-
full church, the baptismal pool being
overfowed and the water poured down
in the Sunday school room beneath on
the new and elegant piano, worth $3.50,
running it. and on the floor was several
inches of water.
Showing the wicked and perverse
spirit of the dissertation of the
temple he wilkully threw the fine Bible,
chairs, table and collection baskets;into
the pool of water, and sought to do as
much satanic work as possible. From
the front rooms to the pulpit the water
trickled soaking the carpet thoroughly.
Parties who were at work near the
church Tuesday say they saw the
stream of water running from the
church early that morning, which is
evidence that the deed had been done
the night before and the water had
without doubt been running two nights
and two days.
Our Baptist friends are great believ-
ers in water, but not in the immersion
of their church in this manner.
The perpetrator of this malicious
vandalism should be found out, arrested
and punished.

Travellers crossing the Atlantic this

has never before been known. Every

fogs and darkared skies. while the
temperature Of the water is so low

to tell Of the nearness of the ice fleet

During July and August the skies,

In St. Petersburg the arrangement
Of fire alarms is rather peculiar and
decidedly unique, and the fire alarm
telegraph is an unknown thing. In
stead, a fireman is at all times in the
tower of the city hall, and he watches
the surrounding city to catch the first
glimpse Of fire. When fire is dis
covered during the day he runs up
black balls on the top of the tower as
signals; at night, red lanterns are used.
The number of the balls or lanterns
shows the district or ward in which
the fire is located, AS soon as the sig
nal is seen by the man on duty at an
engine house he rings bell outside
which calls together the members of
the company, who may be scattered
over a couple of blocks. This method
is not conducive to quick time in reach
ing the scene. and from 90 minutes to
half an hour is good work unless the
lsre happens to be near the engine

The April term Of the Circuit Court
was resumed Friday morning after i
recess since noon Thursday. Two ac-
tions for divorce were heard. and In
each case judge Faulkner granted an
absolute divorce on the ground Of de-
sertion.
The first case was that Of Elizabeth

Charles b. Barnes. They were mar

the plaintiff declares she has wholly
supported herself. judge Faulkner
granted her an absolute divorce, and

John w. Mills, and is noteworthy
from the fact that the couple have
been married long enough to have
one child OF legal age. The ground
for the action was desertion, and
plaintiff also PRAYED for the CUSTODY

| After falling in love with an Amer
lean girl whom he had never seen, XII
ram, the sentimental sultan of Sulu,
has issued mandate and beaped hon.
ors upon the head of Chicago man.
Every day in Iligan, in the Lake Iansa
district of the far away island Of Min
danao, Capt. John j. Pershing calls
about him the dusky inhabitants and
dispenses what little law he has
to guide him. Capt. Pershing is what
Kiram calls a datto. A datto is a
bigger man in Iligan than the mayor
is in Chicago, and Capt. Pershing is the
first American to become datto.
The New York Herald says that the
present datto of Iligan was formerly
a well-known bachelor of Chicago, and
there he led many cotillon and ere
ated many q flutter in one of the
snartest circles. lie was one Of The

Pershing is subject TO the commands

that the sultan Of Sulu is supreme IN
authority, Capt. Pershing is virtually
an independents ruler in his own dis

of mystic power over the Moros which
not even the sultan himself may boast
of. For Datto Pershing is white

storms and ice would have meant seri-
Gus peril to transatlantic travel.
'.As it is, the steamers have to be
constantly on the lookout for ice all
the way across.
THE early appearance of the ice,
is probably the result of a warm and
early spring in northern ATTITUDES,
causing the breaking off OF large
amounts of Ice from the edge of the
great glacial flows. Thence they have
been brought southwark along the
coast of Newfoundland into the path
of steamer traffic by the polar cur
rent"

In size they run from the small ones
that project barely above the Water
to great pyramids that rise for 800
feet into the air, and extend for a mile
in length. The largest berg of which
there is record stood $50 feet above

weighed 100000 tons. AS there is
Usually less than one-ninth of the to-
tai of berg visible above the water
Zine, this one in all probability extend
ed 1000 feet from bottom to top.
Bergs that rise 800 feet into the air
are not uncommon, and several of this
height have been reported this spring,
though the largest one seen was OF a
different formation and extended in
length for 1900 feet, while it was but
about $50 feet high.
When the icebergs first began to ap-
.ear this year they were found only
long the Newfoundland and Labra-
dor banks. just south of Newfound-

which marks for a long distance the
