in dispute with an American citizen.
The state Department Immediately sent
the old Kearsarge. commanded by Cap
tain Crowninshield, to Guayana. The
affair was investigated and the Vene-
zuelan government sustained, and Cen
eral Hernandez was entertained by the
Americans, with whom he became a
great favor-to.

country-from 1894 to 1887 On his re-
turn TO Venezuela he started another

MOSQUITOES TOO MUCH.
Patience and Piety of n Preacher Put
to the Test by InquisitOrf-
al Insects.

Rev. j. Campbell Morgan, the noted
English preacher, was obliged to sus-
pend the religious services he was con-
Quoting one evening in New York by
an invasion of mosquitoes from the Jer-
sey shore, relates New York exchange.
The incident recalls to regular attend
ants at the Ocean Grove meetings many
an occasion, in the days before the ex-
istence of the present well-constructed
tabernacle, when the land breeze used
to bring mosquitoes down upon the
worshiping crowds as thick and as saw
age as the locusts of the Egyptian
plague.
They tell story of the way the late
DR.. Daniel Curry for many years ed
itor of the Christian Advocate, and a
man of peculiarly sardonic humor at
his own expense, dealt with the situa-
ton, one Sunday night when the New
Jersey "varmint" was doing a land Of
flee business at the grove.
DR.. Curry was discoursing from a
text in the Book of Revelation and had
grown warm with theme and action
Mosquitoes, anywhere from so to 500,
circled about him. the preachers Wig
oroIs and varied gesture serving to dou-
BILE purpose of emphasizing his points
and keeping off the insects. By degrees
he approached the high levels of his ar
gument and entered upon an apostrophe
to ST. John the revelator
He had just closed an eloquent pas
sage with the sentence from the apoco-
lyptic vision: And l heard the voice
OF harpers harping with their harps,"
when a big mosquito reached him and
nipped him near the nose. 1t was too
much. He paused, stood still and put
the insect out of misery with resound-
ing whack. Then addressing the 1000
before him, with all solemnity, he said:

been pestered with the singing of a
hundred Jersey mosquitoes he could

THE FRILLS OF FASHION.
Pretty Bits of Finery That Are Now In

Costumes.

Deep collars of panne, ornamented

with dropping brim, is to have its in

brought to surprising perfection and

ADVERTISING LOST.
Clever Scheme Spoiled by the Over
Carefulness of Con-
cerned Friend.

As an advertisement the man had had
prepared some pretty little match boxes
filled with matches; and he made it a point
to leave one of them, as if by accident, wher-
ever he happened to be, relates the Chicago
Post
That's more effective than giving them
away" he said. the man who finds one
will give more attention to 1t than will the
man to whom one is given
But his friend persisted in ignoring this
scheme. He picked up the match box
and restored it to the owner, whereupon the
owner would leave it again.
Never mind it" he would say; but the
friend persisted in minding it to the extent
that he always Jagged behind when match
box was left.
One day the advertiser happened to be
In the friends room and came upon about
a gross of his match boxes.
Where did you get these? he asked.
'Oh, I've picked them up where you have
left them anywhere, was the reply. No
Use buying matches when you are giving
them away, you know.
And now the advertiser is trying to figure
out what good the advertising on those
boxes does him.

there is a higher and holier motive
