creenfieId's Socialistic Minister.

Rev. Charles L. Beals of Greenfield has
aroused comment by his recent advo-
cacy of the remedies of socialism as
cure for the present-day evils. He says
ne thinks it the duty of the church to
teach ethics, and he took up the subject
as a phase of ethics. He does not in
tend to establish a socialist propaganda.
But a somewhat careful study of the lit
erature of both sides of the question has
led him to a belief in the principles of So
cialsm. He has always felt an interest
in economic questions. AS result OF
the sermon Frank o. Wells, prominent
member of the Second Congregational
church. where Mr.. Beals breaches, has
announced his intention of Withdrawing
from the church for a time. Mr.. Wells
is president of Wells Bros. & Co.. which
employs over 200 hands, and is prominent
in the affairs of the section. He is pres
ident of the coaching club. In connection
with the church he is chairman of com
mittee on building new parsonage.

Spiders Travel on the Wind.

1t is we'll known, says the French
Revue Scientifique, that certain spi-
ders can be transported by the wind,
owing to a very light silken thread
that they emit from the spinneret
which is blown along by an ascending
current of air. A thread yard long,
according to the experiments of M.
Favier, can sustain the weight of
young spider. For many years M
Favier has witnessed every spring the
dispersion of young spiders from
large number of nests. In a few
hours, in favorable weather, thous-
and young ones will set out from the
same nest and begin their travels.
The spider is not absolutely passive,
but can regulate its ascent, both at its
departure and during the journey. 1t
is sufficient to increase the length OF
the string to mount more quickly and
to shorten it when wishing to alight.

days in Evansville Ind. Policeman Mas

The mob who gathered about the Jail be-
lieved that Brown was still confined there
and on Monday night an attack was made
upon the members of the National Guard
and the special deputy sheriffs, who were
guarding the Jail. a hundred armed
rioters led the mob of several thousand
people and the national guardsmen fired
into the crowd. Probably 100 shots were
discharged before the people were driven
back The mob broke into several gun
stores to secure arms and destroyed a
NJ gro saloon and other buildings occu-
pied by colored people. The action of
about 100 negroes in marching in a body
through the streets to the cries of Down

citing the people to violence. The SOL
