REV. MR.. C0RDOvA ALLOWED
TO WITHDRAW UNDER CHARGES.

South River, July 15:--"With-
drawn under charges is the status
of the case of the Rev. ]. f. Oordova
| with relation to the Methodist Epis-
copal church. The trial of the South
River minister who eloped with Miss
| Julia Bovine was to have been held
! yesterday, but on the day before Mr..
Oordova asked the presiding elder of
the district, the Rev. DR.. j. J. Haines,
to accept his resignation. This request
was promptly refused, but on the al
vice of Bishop tzGerald, who was
q lawyer before he became a clergy
man, the accused man was permitted
to withdraw undercharges in accord
ance with the provisions of section 235
of the Methodist Episcopal Discipline,
which reads: "When o preacher is
accused of immortality ana wishes to
Withdraw form the church he may be
permitted to withdraw, in which case
the record shall be withdrawn under
charges, the relation to the church
of the preacher thus withdrawn being
the same as if he had been expelled.
This action d%eprives Mr.. Cordova of
all the privileges of the ministry or
of membership II the church until his
case shall finally be disposed of by
the Annual Conference in March.
Miss Bovine has sent in her resigna-
tion as a member of the South River
church, but she also is to be with
drawn under charges"
When the Rev. John Morris, of
Sayreville, was appointed counsel for
Mr.. Cordova lie wrote TO him. To his
surprise Mr.. Oordova, in a long letter,
sought to justify his position.
"Do not think of making a de-
fence" Mr.. Morris wrote to him by
return mail. 81 would not answer
for the consequences if you were to
show you rself in South River at the
time of the trial"

senger was actually the one that had
been reared on his house at home.
When it returned to Norway and sought
out it's familiar resting place the fiut-
tering paper which it carried soon at
tracted the attention of Conrad's
mother. Her joy on reading the mes
sage. and learning that her son was still
alive, may we'll be conceived. With the
paper in her hand the old dame ran down
the street, calling on all her good friends
to hear the news. Not only was her Con-
rad alive, but many another mothers son
from that town, and it was a thankful
gathering that assembled in the pas
tors house and gave thanks to God for
these wonderful tidings.
To cut a long story short, IN expedl-
ton was shortly afterward sent out tc
rescue the captives from their slavery.
This was accomplished, though not
without difficulty, and the long-lost ones
returned to their own land.
When, in later years Conrad Jonas
| sen became wealthy and was honored as
the leading citizen of his native place, a
stork was taken as the towns emblem.
The figure of a stork was placed upon
the church and on the roofs of the prin-
| cipal buildings. And SO the story OF
| Conrad Jonassen's marvellous release
from captivity has been perpetuated for
the wonderment of succeeding genera
tions.-Chicago Record-Herald.

CAPTIVE SAVED BY sToRK.
Prison to Quiet Town in
Distant Norway.

The story Is told of how, many years
ago. some English captives in a Moor
ish prison were rescued through the
means of a famous old hymn tune. A
British man-of-war had anchored of
a port near Algiers which was notorious
for the pirate craft that it harbored. AT
night, while all the crew except the
watch were asleep, a voice was heard
somewhere ON shore singing a we'll
known air. Some Of the ships officers
were quickly summoned, and<as they
listened and the singers voices-for
others had joined in-became louder
and clearer, they recognized the notes
of the grand "Old Hundred.
Guessing rightly enough that some OF
their fellow e%ountrymen lay imprisoned
in the Moorish fortress, the captain gave
orders for the small boats to get out.
Then a strong landing-party of we'll
armed seamen swiftly rowed in to shore,
and, taking the guard by surprise.
stormed the fortress. In a very short
time the captives, three in number, were
safe on board the man-of-war.
Wonderful as this rescue may appear.
it is perhaps surpassed by the story Of
how Conrad Jonassen was restored to
liberty. Conrad was a Norwegian, and
as a boy had made a pet of a stork
which regularly visited his town. Year
after year the bird returned to where
it was always fed, to build it's nest upon
tho hn1cn rOnf ond rnor tie hrnO1 ~
young.
While he was hardly more than a boy
Conrad went to sea, and had the mis-
fortune to be captured by Algerian pi
rates. With many Of his shipmates hs
was sold into slavery. For three years
he endured all the %hardships and indig-
mites of his Imprisonment, buoyed up
by the hope that an opportunity to es-
cape would some day present itself. AT
the end of this period, when he and his
comrades were beginning to despair of
ever seeing their native land again, he
n day saw a stork flying about over
head. The sight of the bird recalled to
him his old home, and he whistled to it
as he had been wont to do with his for
mer pet. To his great joy the stork
alighted on the ground lear him and
anne up as if expecting to be fed.
Conrad had no food with him at the
time. But the next morning he saved
a portion of his breakfast with which to
feed the bird. For several days he re-
peated this, until the stork became quite
friendly. The thought now flashed into
his mind; Why not make a messenger
of the stork? 1t would be flying north
ward in a little time and might prob
ably find it's way to some Norwegian
town. He determined to make the ex-
pertinent, and having scrubbed a few
lines on a scrap of tough paper, he tied
the latter securely to the birds leg. In
due course, when the time Of migration
came round, the stork winged its way
from the African shore to the northern
regions.
AS chance would have it, the stork
which he had elected to make his mes

CRUDE WIRELESS OUTFIT.
Eighteen ear-old Iowa Boy Displays
Ingenious Skill in Making In
struments of His Own.

Willie Peeler, aged1S has completed
a set of wireless telegraph instruments
from makeshift materials, says the Fort
Dodge Qa.) correspondent of the New
York Herald.
In July young Peeler attended a lee
ture On liquid air and wireless telegra-
ply. He was SO impressed that he re-
mSined after the lecture for further in
vvstigation. The lecturer was meeting
others, and did not have time to an
swer the questions put by the youth.
This, however, did not deter the lad from
making careful inspection of the in
struments.

have one," he remarked to a compan-
ion. And he did. His patience is shown

on a reel and required all of his even
ings for a week. Each layer of wire is
vanished and padded with layers OF
newspaper. It's power is sufficient to pro-
duce waves that will carry a mile.
Two copper plates were necessary ia
complete his system, but his limited
means derived from clerking in a
grocery store, did not permit OF his buy
ing them at so cents each. Nothing
daurted, he took two empty lard cans
and from the tops of these made the
necessary plates.
Silver filings in a glass tube comprised
another needed part. An aluminium
cap and o sywirg machine needle were
made To al.awer.

TN obedience to the command Of GM'
/ the children of Israel established
six cities of refuge in the new land to
which they had %journeyed, in order that
those who were in danger of the avenger
of blood might find a safe refuge until
their cases could be tried by the Levites.
These cities of refuge were a type of
the Christ, and in figure illustrate
the service which Christ was to perform
for a lost and ruined race. God sent
His Son into the world to establish for
man a refuge from sin and it's conse
quences. Death presses so hard upon the
heels of the guilty sinner who is in
peril of everlasting destruction. What
a thrilling sight it must have been in
those old Jewish days to see the af-
frighted runner fleeing for his life
towards the city of refuge, while press
would take his life. What a desperate
race it was! The Levites of the walls
of the city would watch with bated
breath. They note the waning strength
of the foremost runner and observe that
the pursuer is slowly but surely gain
ing upon him. With bullying, bloodshot
eyes, distended nostrils and deep-heav-
ing chest the men plunge on. The
hand is uplifted to strike. Another step,
and the keen, heartless blade will find
it's scabbard in the quivering flesh and
drink the life blood of the fleeing man.
