yesterday,
Mrs. Crummie was a witness in
contest which has been brought by
number OF disinherited heirs TO break
the priests will which disposes Of an
estate valued at 100000. She is not
party to the case, but her children are.
Atty NJ, NJ, Sturgeon, for the confess
tants asked her II she recollected any
conversation with Father Mackin at a
certain period some years ago. Her
reply was:

that he gave Plamondon over $4,000"

left his estate, Mrs. Plamandon being
willed about a third and the greater
portion of the remainder going to the
others.
The will was drawn while the tesla

that the priest was Of unsound mind In

few low cut shoes are now being sold
the demand being almost entirely for

dealers notice that people generally are

inhabitants of the city. The disturb

lasted about one minute, and other
shocks followed at intervals with grad

and nearly every building in the city

at millions of dollars. For four days

The great CONGREGATIONS Of history,
recorded in the order Of their import
ance, begin with the destruction of
London in 1912 and the loss Of thou
sands of lives. In 1866 London again
was burned, and thousands more OF
lives were lost. In ITO a conflagra-
ton in Constantinople caused the
death of 1000 persons. These three
great fires were without rivals in their
extent until the Chicago fire of 1871, In
which 2,124 acres were devastated, H.
$50 buildings reduced to ashes, 200
lives lost and $4,000 people were made
homeless.
The Baltimore fire In 1904 swept
away eighty blocks, covering 40 acres,
and destroyed property valued at more
than $50,000,OO0 A fire in San Fran
cisco in 1851 leveled $500 buildings,
chiefly small frame structures, and
scores of persons were burned to death.
Another city that practically was
wiped out was Troy, N. Y, which
burned in 1862, with considerable loss
of life. Another disastrous fire killed
1000 persons in 1868 at Santiago,
South America.
Considered from the standpoint of
lives lost, however, the Iroquois Thea

that He was manly-yes, more than

G00dness-The man who is good be-

The Modern Church-The churches

the ministers are preaching eloquent
sermons, but Satan's citadel is not being
attacked and no one is offended by the
gospel as it Is now preached. There is
