STORIES OF CLERICAL FOLK.

of the Pulpit.


of the Pulpit.
A Scotch minister who was in need
of funds thus conveyed his intentions
to his congregation: "Weel, friends,
the kirk is urgently in need of siller,
and as we have failed to get money
honestly, we will have to see what a
bazaar can do for u.s."
1t happened in Cornwall, according
to report, that pastor complained
that his congregation had the habit of
looking round at late corners, and,
while he thought it natural enough,
he saw that it disturbed their relig-
ious duties, and so determined to an
nounce by name those persons who
came in late. Accordingly he serveral
times paused during the prayers and
said: "Mr. c., with his wife and
daughter" then again, "Mr. C. and
William D." This went on for a while
and the congregation Kept their eyes
fixed on their books, but when it was
given out Mrs. M. in a new bonnet "
every feminine head in he church
was turned.
1t was a curate who read in les
son for the day.
He spoke the word, and cathoppers
came and grassipillars innumerable. u

The Harm of FIashIiqhts.

The New York Medical Record calls
attention to the injurious effects of
dashlight advertising signs which
show brilliant light every few sec
onds. "The effect of this alteration
of light and darkness is most trying,
not only to the eyes of the passers-
by, but also and especially to residents
in the neighborhood whose windows
look out on the signs. One may sleep
in bright light or in darkness, but no
nerves can stand the strain of mo
mentary illumination of the sleeping
apartment recurring several times

Five Italians Die From Result Of An
Accident.
Lancaster, Pa, Nov. 26eFive Ital-
ians persisted in a fire which destroyed
the old Noble grain warehouse at
North Bend. For some time sixty or
more Italian railroad laborers have
been sleeping in the building. One of
then, was washing pair of overalls
in pail of gasoline when spark from
his pipe fell into the pail, causing an
explosion that scattered the burning
oil.
Instantly there was a panic among
the Italians, most of whom had been
asleep. They fought mad1y to escape
from the burning house. One man
leaped from window and was picked
up with broken leg.
1t is believed that the five who per-
ished were trampled upon in the rush
to get out. Their badly eharred
bodies have been recovered.

Hinton, KY, Nov. 2S.-(Special.)-
1t has long been claimed that Diabe-
ties is incurable, but Mr.. E. ]. Thomp-
son, teacher in the Hinton school,
has pleasing evidence to the contrary.
Mr.. Thompson had Diabetes. He took
Dodd's Kidney Pills and is cured. In
a statement he makes regarding his
cure Mr.. Thompson says:
II was troubled with my kidneys
for more than two years and was
treated by two of the best doctors in
this part of the state. They claimed
1 had Diabetes and there was little
to be done for me. Then l started
to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and what
they did for me was wonderful. 1t
is entirely owing to Dodd's Kidney
Pills that l am now enjoying good
health"
Many doctors still maintain that
Diabetes is incurable. But Diabetes
is kidney disease, and the kidney
disease that Dodd's Kidney Pills will
not cure has yet to be discovered.

| The creditors of James H. Ken
nard, the former Main street and Mil
waukee avenue bakery man, will re-
ceive only small amount of their
| claims, as the matter was practically
settled up this morning by the sale of
the bakery on Main street to L. J. Po-
fail for 81, 500. The sale is not pos
tive one and the deal will be held
| open for month in order to allow
any of the creditors to enter a protest,
and then the matter would have to be
thrown into the bankruptcy courts for
settlement and the costs would be
largely increased. The army of claim
ants who have been attempting to. Sc
cure the settlement of the bills against
. the former baker will receive in the
nelg hborhood of seventeen cents on

| When a composite agreement was
made by tne creditors some time ago,
the sale of the property was left in
the hands of w. J. Evans and B. O..
Sturges. These two men negotiated
the sale of the property to Pofahl.
The expenses connected with the
settlement of the matter will be in the
neighborhood of $500, and this will

CT editors of whom there are about
sew enty-fve, and their bills amount

claims are not large but there are a
number of them, and the settlement
will require quite little expense.
Many houses in Chicago and Mil
waukee will lose small amounts
through the failure of the business,
but most of the accounts are due to
| people IN Kenosha and the surround
ing territory. The largest claim is
filed by Agnes Smith, who demands
$1700. Of this amount $500 was bor-
rowed money and the remainder is
due as interest and wages. w. j..
Evans & Co., is the next largest credi-
tor, his claim amounting to $3.50. The
next largest claim is presented by
Piper and Thomas. The new owner
of the property took possession of the
bakery this morning, and all expense
in connection with the operation of
the business will be cut off so far as
the composition agreement is con-
cerned.
Mr.. Pofah1, the purchaser of the
bakery, has been in business in Keno
sha for some time and it is thought he
will operate paying business.

FORMING A COMPANY.
Charles {. Egan to Manufacture
His New Telephone lnstru-
ment in Kenosha.
LOCAL CAPITAL INTERESTED

Kenosha is to have a new factory
and it will have for its product the
telephone instrument recently pat
ented by W. E. Egan. A company is
now being formed and it is claimed
that the plant for the manufacture of
the instrument will be opened within
a few weeks. Several of the leading
capitalists in the city have consented
to place money in the concern and
there is no longer any doubt of the
success of the movement. Mr.. Egan
has secured his papers for the patents
on the invention and everything is in
rea diness to put it on the market.
The inventor is taking a very ruby
view of the prospects for the factory
and he claims that he has received as
surances from different telephone
CO mpanies in Wisconsin that there
will be demand for twenty thousand
OF the instruments as fast as they can
be turned out by the plant. No COM
pa MES save the ones doing business
in Wisconsin have so far been given
a chance to test the instrument and it
is claimed that when the device is
placed on the market the demand will
be so large that no factory can supply
it. Many representatives of compa-
MES from other cities have made an
effort to purchase the rights for the
manufacture of the instruments. but
Mr.. Egan has insisted that they are
to be made in factory under his di-
Erection.
