STEEPLE JArK
AT WORK WHEN LIGHTNING
STRUCK THE sPIRE.

Fitchburg, Mass, May 2i-Charles
Taylor, the well known Steeple Jack
Of New England, came nearer to death
in this city than ever before in his ad =
venturous career. Il was a modern
miracle that he is alive.
Apparently struck by binding bolt
of lightning, which hit the steeple, he
managed somehow to retain his hold,
when it seemed certain tina. his body
must be thrown out and down to the
earth far below.
Somehow. although it looked as IL
the shock of tho bolt had thrown him
completely away from the Rollston
church steeple, he managed to regain
his clutch, when onlookers had shut
their eyes to hide the sickening sight
of his expected fate. Aside from a
slight nervousness, he is all right.

few Of the men who have applied saw
any actual fighting, and that a smaller
portion Of the few volunteer regiments
which saw hard service in the Philip

in the regiments which never left the
instruction camps.
The applicants under the head of
"invalids" number 81, o40, and vivid

TRAGIC END TO A ROMANTIC CAREER

Of Ulans, TO the great manoeuveres In
Galicia, and here he won universal
PRAISE for the splendid management Of
his troops. On the last day of the
manoeuvres after the final grand re.
view had taken place, he gathered his
fellow officers and men around him,
and still seated in the saddle, told
them that he would have to leave
them forever. He thanked them most
cordially for their Friendship and their
splendid efforts which had won for
them all the praise of the emperors of
Austria and Germany Then suddenly
he put spur TO his horse and galloped
away without a word of explanation.
He did not stop until he reached the
convent, which has been his home
ever since. Once inside he threw his
sword, his orders and his brilliant I'M
form on the floor and put his on the
coarse garb of monk For ten years
he worked untiringly among the poor
as Father Charles. No one but mis-
brethren knew his name, no one his
secret and now It has been buried with
him.
