Gladstone as a asune.,

A reference to The Corsican Broth
ers" recalls an amusing story of Mr.
Gladstone's visit to the Lyceum when
Irving was playing in this drama. Mr..
Gladstone at the time was not bur
dened by the cares of office, and one
evening he dropped in at the Lyceum,
where he was occasionally accommo-
dated with a chair at the wings" On
this night, however, when the stage
was set for the opera ball in 1.-The Cor
sican Brothers" his curiosity led him
into one of the boxes for spectators in
the scene. Up went the curtain; Mr..
Gladstone was at once deserted by the
pit and greeted with shouts Of JOY
which caused him hastily to withdraw.
This" says Mr.. Austin. was his first
and only appearance in the drama out
side of the dear old legitimate. at
Westminster. w Westminster Gazette.

A Strange Feast.

A curious feast is observed by the
Mohammedan inhabitants of India, in
which the origin of the custom known
as painting the town red may possibly
be traced. 1t is called the Holi and
consists chiefly In the plentiful sprin-
king upon all and sundry Of a certain
red preparation called holi powder. 1t
stains the white clothes of the natives
with an ugly, dirty looking red that
conjures up before timid eyes dread
visions of bloody fights and CHASTITY
mutinies. The powder is made in two
shades-the one vermilion, the other
rose red-and both are used impartial
ly by the observers of the ceremony,
who delight in bedaubing their faces
with the powders until they look like
strange and hideous denizens of hades
come up, still glowing with the fires
of that region. Among the better
classes this festival is falling into dis
favor, for it leads to many unpleasant
excuses and had its origin in some de-
cidedly dissipated scene In ancient
heather history.

The wife.. Repronch.

In an address to a temperance socie-
II a lecturer told how drink had once
caused the downfall Of a brave soldier.
In the course of the sad story he said:
Sometimes, after a debauch, the
man would be repentant humble. He
would promise his wife to do better
But. alas. the years taught her the bar
renness of all such promises. And one
night, when he was getting to be an
old man, a prematurely old man, thin
limbed, stoop shouldered, with red
trimmed eyes, he said TO his wife sadly:
You're a clever woman, Jenny. a
courageous. active, good woman. You
should have married a better man than
1 am, dear
.'She looked at him, and, thinking of
what he had once been, she answered
in quiet voice:
q I did, James /"

A Missing Five Franc piece.

Fully half the grownup people OF
France believe the old story that Napo-
leon Bonaparte put check for 100000
francs in a silver five franc piece and
that the coin is yet in circulation. They
say that the people did not want the
five franc piece and that in order to
create a demand for it Napoleon re-
sorted to the device mentioned. The
check or treasury order, it is said, was
written upon asbestus paper and In
closed in the metal at the time the coin
was made. Thousands Of five franc
pieces are annually broken open and
have been so inspected since the story
Of the check was first circulated.

Gossip Rife About Reasons
for DR.. Hoagland's
Resignation.
TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT
Clergyman Denies Jealousy of Wife
on Part of Woman Pensioners
Caused Withdrawal.

The story to the effect that Rev. D. |
D. Hoagland, pastor of the East Chi |
cago Methodist Church, offered his res |
ignation on account of petty jealousy |
on the part of the women In his con- |
gregation toward his wife. has been |
scandalizing the people of that town |
for the last day or two. 1t had been
reported that the clergyman discov
cred his wife in tears recently, over
some gossip she had heard about her
self, and that to prove his loyalty to
her and his contempt for those who
had INDUCED in the back biting, he had
promptly handed in his resignation.
The alleged gossip, so far as learned.
consisted in remarks about the manner
in which Mrs. Hoagland dressed, and
that it was not right for the wife of
the pastor of a church to hold herself
aloof from the congregation and the
latter's social doings. and other things
equally important if true. 1t was given
out that Mrs. Hoagland's life had been
made miserable for the past year by
the women members of her husbands
flock who were evidently jealous of
her position as the wife of the pastor.
DR.. Hoagland married his wife about
year ago after he had been pastor
for some time of his present church.
According to the stories. a great many
mothers in his flock had designs upon
the young preacher, but he chose to
ignore their wiles and married young
woman, who, while she attended his
church. was a rank" outsider from the
standpoint of the designing mothers.
Mr.. HOagIand interviewed.
Speaking to the Times representa-
tive this morning Mr. Hoagland denied
the whole story fatty and showed a
prepared statement for the newspapers
in which he says among. other things
that the people of his church have
been uniformly kind. sag
The report is current that a call is
awaiting him near Lafayette. which he
may accept. He has already announc-
ed to his congregation that he was
preparing to resign and though it was
impressed to him by many of his fol-
lowers how necessary it would be for
him to stay be remained obdurate.
The stories in the papers have set
the tongue wagging in East Chicago,
and even the few who found fault with
the minister or his wife are ready to
stand by them now.
Mr. Hoagland, however, says that all
the ado is uncalled fornas his resig-
nation has no connection whatever
with his private affairs. He said this
morning, IF there was any scheming
on the part of some anxious mother
to prevent me from marrying my pres
ent wife 1 was not aware of it. OF
course, the minister and his wife are
at all times liable to discussions in
woman's clubs and at sewing circles,
but in the present case the people of
East Chicago have been misrepre-
scented.
No successor to the Rev. D. D. Hoag-
land is yet in sight 1t is a hard place
as the congregation is only in its in
fancy. A good man is needed there at
all times but it has been found hard
to induce a good man to come.
