BAPTIZES IN ZERO WEATHER.
Pennsylvania Pastor Immerses
Faithful Converts After Cutting
Hole Through Ice.

With the thermometer registering
zero, Rev. Charles Lambert, pastor of
the Zion Baptist church of Steelton,
Pa, baptized nine colored persons-
seven men and two women-through
hole In the ice In the Susquehanna
river recently.
DR.. Lambert, speaking seriously, de-
clared that, standing waist deep in the
recovered SusQuehanna, he paused
to mop the perspiration from his brow
Observation of the rite was DELAYED
until a large opening was cut in the
Ice, which was seven inches thicK.
Coming from the water, the immersed
persons entered carriages and were
hurriedly driven to their homes.
DR.. Lambert proposed to defer the
baptisms because of the extreme
weather, but the nine faithful converts
unanimously protested against such
action.
1T was the best evidence of faith
| have ever seen," remarked the de-
vout minister.

GERMANY BUYING STOCK.
Heavy Investments In American Rail-
way shares Being Mnde-French
Purchase Bonds.

German buying of American railway
shares has lately been on an exception
ally large scale. Not only have the
shares of the good companies been
bought outright, but there has likewise
been very large purchasing of options,
as an Improvement in railroad stocks
here early in the new year is looked for
in Germany. French investors have
not bought American shares. They
never, indeed, do SO. But they have
bought American bonds very freely, not
only here, but in London. There has
been some buying likewise by Holland.
But just now the financial condition of
Holland is far from satisfactory, owing
partly to the failure of the crops In the
Dutch East Indies, partly to the very
bad harvest at home, owing to the
heavy and continuous rains, and partly
to losses occasioned by previous unwise
speculation in American securities
Consequently, Amsterdam has not been
able to do very much just now In the
buying line. whereas Germany has
bought on very large scale.

solved, Foster married Mrs. Redhead-
on form, at least, though the union was
not legal Then came further compi-
cations. Foster went to South Africa.
and during his absence Mrs. Redhead
married another man named Burrell.
To make matters still more complicated,
Mrs Redheads mother must marry Red
heads father So Redhead occupied this
bewildering position: His father Is his
father-in-law, his mother-in-law Is his
stepmother. and his wife is his stepsis-
ter, while two other men have married
his wife.
