Bridgeville. Sept 26.-No service is
being held in the Holiness Church here
and is not likely 10 be until the matter
of rent due has been paid. The matter
was thoroughly aired in Magistrate
Willey's court Saturday afternoon.
when William Conoway brought suit
against r. J. Bozman. treasurer of the
board of church trustees. for lamps
Conway had sold for use in the church.
and was given judgment for the value
of the lamps and costs.
Bozman. the church treasurer said
he had locked the church owing 10
rent being owed to him. as he had rent
ed the property for the use of the
church people and was responsible for
the rent. There seems considerable
dissatisfaction among the church peo-
pie and a settlement Of the trouble does
not seem TO be near. Pastor Steeley was
one Of the witnesses at the trial.

Wrestling With Hard Names.

From the Baltimore Herald.
 After reading the dispatches about the recent battle on the Yalu river, 1t is evi- dent that tho telegraph operators, wire less men and special correspondents have been making good use of their time in mastering the spelling and sound of the barbarous Russian and Chinese names. some of those in public view are Major kashtalinsky, Generals Sassalitch and Mistchenko, Captains Vorobief, Sapoj- nokin, Astroscheneke, Lieutenants Yant- chiss and Rutropoff. Americans will be glad to learn that Captain Philadelphoff escaped with only a wound.
 The Japs naturally had difficulty in op- erating against such places as schoga- poudzy Ambikhe. Totiensky, Tchn-Gu, Schakhedzy Turentchen, Chir-Tien- Cheng and Yu-Shu-Kou. When an order was given to cross the river at Schoga- poudzy the Japs, having prepared them selves, were able to carry 1t out al- though the wind might have destroyed a few of the consonants, and the move ment failed. They are wonderful fel- lows, those Japs. The artillery duel was said to be fierce, but no part of the name Chin-Tien-Cheng was shot away. and Chnkodia also escaped. It required the

Dustless Roads in France.

From the New York World.
 An official report of the Department of Bridges and Roads in France shows the continuance of the good re- suits obtained in rendering roads free from dust by coating the surface with tar.
 The engineer for the Seine and Marne Departments reports that af- ter an unsuccessful trial of a mixture of oil and petroleum a coating of tar was in the summer of 1902 laid down on seven different lengths of road. Af- ter carefully observing these during period of twelve months, he finds that dust and mud have wholly disappeared and the cost of maintenance of the roads has been considerably reduced. Further comparing the previous outlay on the roads with that of those with tarred surface, he says: '1t appears that the tarring method requires no greater outlay, and at the same time very considerably improves the con dition of the roadway. In La Cher two lenghts of the Chausee Nationals were coated with tar in June and August of 1902. Both these experiments have been entirely successful, the road now being covered with an elastic skin, while the sound of foo-tpassengers' tread is muffled and horses and draught oxen require only one-half the effort they put forth before. The noise and vibration caused by vehicu- lar traffic is much reduced, and neith- CT dust nor mud IS formed on the tar red surface"

Costly Practical Joke.

From the New York Commercial.
 Of all ways which an Irresponsible press has devised for making a nuisance of It. self, the following Is the most fantastic: On Sunday, January 10. one of the Lon don dailles announced that twenty medal lions were buried in various parts of Lon don, and that the finder o1 each one would receive $250. The only directions given were to search in wide thoroughfares, the houses on either side of which are approached by semi-priyate roads, separ- ated from the streets by narrow strips of garden, enclosed by fences. There are a number of semi-aristocfatic London neighborhoods to which this description might apply and they were all invaded early Sunday morning by an army of treasure hunters, equipped with spades, hoes shovels and even trowels. Work was comenced on the most likely spots flower beds, hedgerows, etc., and as these were all taken up, the lawns and road ways were staked out.
 Occasional passers by, seeing the min CTS at work uprooting gateposts and rare shrubs, stopped out of curiosity, and when some sweat-begrimed toiler rested for moment, asked him for an explan- alton. Upon learning or the wealth await ing the lucky man, he, too, frequently joined in the prospecting, and added his walking stick or umbrella to the other destructive agencies. One land owner, who remonstrated at having his fence posts dug up, was mobbed. and only was saved by the timely arrival of two policemen. Many gardens and private roadways were seriously damaged by the treasure hunt CTS, and it has been calculated that at the market rate for gardeners considers ably more than 5000 worth of labor, the total of the supposed treasure, was ex- pended in the search for 1t. A number of suits are threatened against the news paper which instituted the boom

Animals Are Saved.

From the Chicago News.
 Something must watch Over members of the animal kingdom. Here is the story of Nellie Horse and Minnie Cat, belonging to the storage warehouse in East Eighty ninth street that was de- stroyed by fire Saturday night Nellie, the favorite horse of R. B. Stadfeld the manager occupied stall fin the base ment. During the fire the walls fell and the big structure was reduced to a smoldering pile of iron and brick. Ed- ward Knapp of the fire patrol was sound- ing the water in the basement today, when to his ears came the neigh of a hore. This was followed by the meows of acat. Workmen were set to remove the debris, and in half an hour 1t was possible to distinguish Nellie in the basement, with the water to her knees. The cat had taken refuge on Nellies back. Neither was the worse for the experience.
