Erect and 1.-the, his eyes sparkling
and his wit as ready a. ever. Edmund
Clarence Stedman accepted the birthday
congratulations OF his friends recently
The threescore and tenth milestone Of
his life had been left behind. Time has
been merciful to the famous scholar
poet. Mr.. Stedman celebrated the event
by q day of downright hard work. It
is this work. he said to New York Her
aid representative, that keeps him
young.
In his early youth Mr.. Stedman gave
promise OF becoming one of Americas
foremost scholars. Family councils de-
cided, however, that his lot should be
cast in the busy world Of Wall street.
He became broker and banker, but dur
ing the years he wrestled with financial
problems he never lost his love for the
beautiful. His poems attracted more
and more attention. He became q light In
the literary world. Humanitarian al
ways. he devoted many of his leisure
hours to encouraging budding genius.
More than q hundred writer's to-day owe
the success of their first efforts to his
direction and encouragement Mr..
Stedman may look back on the greater
part of his 20 years and see many pedes-
tails erected to the memory Of his philan-
thropy. His charities have not all been

Volumes which required the most active

PASTOR LEFT HIS NOTES
Met the Lockout Declared by Church
officers in Novel Manner.

On the Baltimore Central Railroad
yesterday some of the passengers were
talking Of the novel methods employed
by Rev. Mr.. Hunter pastor Of the
Coleraine Baptist Church, six miles
west Of oxford, says the West Chester
Local News.
The story is that some months ago,
on Children's Day. there was difficulty
between the pastor and some of the
members, regarding the exercises of
the day. This led to a dispute which
ended in a lockout on the part of the
church officers.
The pastor. not wishing to leave the
neighborhood, and being willing to fin
ish his contract. which expires the
first of next April, took counsel on the
matter, and was advised by a Lam
caster attorney that in order to draw
his salary, about S400 per annum, he
must go to the church and be ready to
preach. If he found the doors locked,
he should slip a note under the door.
A few days since. there was a fun
eral in the church, and half a dozen Of
these notes were found. It is said the
pastor has offered to settle for 800.
