ON the. Boston Transcript.

From the. Boston Transcript.
Attention is invited to the particularly
brilliant performances now taking place
nightly in what some one has happily called
1.-THE sky theater." II you know anything
of stars you never will have more favor
able opportunity than the present 10 APP
plaud your favorites. Several OF them you
find at their very best. and even the most
insignificant member OF the grand chorus Is
noticeabIy brilliant. And If you do not
know the stars these arc the nights when
you should begin an acquaintance with
them. Start It anywhere-right overhead
with the Capella or with Sirius in the south
horizon And swing your glass from one
point TO another; look and look The longer
you stand on your own or anothers door
step to make your observations the less in
clined will you be TO turn from the heavens
above TO the earth beneath You will be so
enchanted and fascinated that the little
crick in the back OF your neck won't count.

sermon created the biggest sensation that
has occurred in Zion City for q long time.
Just before the delivery of the sermon a

why he has not, 1t is not for me to

because the men and women whom he has
had in the church did not acknowledge the

their money they put II into their pockets.
Instead Of fulfilling promises which they
gave him In black and white, they lied to
him, turned away from him and left him
with only a few millions, whereas they
promised him many millions. We may be
able to discover personal reasons, for he

CURED BY PRAYER.
An Alleged Case in Brooklyn Re
Gently,

Gently.
Helen McEeeny. three years old. of No.
222 North 9Th street, Williamsburg, n. Y,
Is said to have been cured by prayers of
spine disease, with which she had been af
flicted for more than a year The alleged
cure took place at the Grotto Of Our Lady
of Lourdes in the church Of that name at
Broadway and Aberdeen street. Brooklyn,
of which Father Porcile IS the pastor
About a year ago the progress of the
trouble made it necessary to provide the
child with large brace, which almost in
cased her slight form. All that medical
skill could accomplish seemed to be of no
avail Last October the girls parents,
who had heard reports of marvellous cures
In the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes
went there with the child and began to
offer prayers at the grotto.
They were in the church on December 8,
at the feast of the Immaculate Conception.
They had prayed at the shrine, and Father
Porcile, who had taken a great interest in
the unfortunate child, advised the parents
TO remove the braces on their return home,
and report to him the result. The parents
did as requested and are said to have no
ticed Immediate improvement IN their
daughters condition. The Improvement
continued, 1t Is said, until finally the child
could sit up. On Sunday the parents went
back to the church, where they acquainted
Father Porcile with the remarkable cure.
Father Porcie said yesterday that he was
certain the child had been cured as the re-
suit of prayer.

How Automobile Speed Has Increased

The great object sought by this rapid de-
ve!opment of the motor has been to In
crease the automobiles speed, and this OBJ
feet has been attained in a sensational
degree. The increase during the past ten
years would be almost incredible wero
there not figures to prove 1t. In 1898 the
Paris bordeaux road race was won by
three-and-a half horse power automobile
with an average speed Of fifteen miles an
Ecur In 1857 the winning automobile, an
eight horse power machine, covered the $50
miles of the Paris-Amsterdam race at
wenty-eight miles an hour. In 1889 the
Paris Bordeaux race was won by twelve
horse power automobile going at thirty
miles an hour. In 1901 the Paris-Bordeaux
race was won by forty horse power ma
chine with an average hourly speed OF
fifty miles an hour--the same course that
was covered six years before at fifteen
miles an hour. The increase in speed since
that time. though great, has been more
gradual. The winning car in the Wander
bilt cup race, the most important held IN
America. averaged slightly less than sixty
two miles an hour for the two hundred
and eighty-three miles; 1t was of eighty
horse power, but in the same race there
were cars of one hundred and twenty horse
power and one OF one hundred and thirty.

To the deep regret Of the parish which
he had served so long, the resignation of
Rev. Dr. William S. Rainsford as rector
OF st. Georges Protestant Episcopal
Church, New York, was accepted last Sun

owing to the continued i'll health of the

his resigning, and had chosen as his sue

Ralnsford as inevitable. the formal an

Must Not Wear Gowns.

There seems to be persistent effort IN
this school district to continue sisters OF
this Catholic order as teachers. The state
superintendents have held for years this
garb shall not be worn in the public
schools of the state. The people
had submitted for years to a condition of
things which they were bound to break up.
Hendrick was elected trustee. He was
Catholic, and In defiance Of the order of
the state superintendent he made these
contracts The teachers and their mother
superior, whom they were pledged to obey,
and who was to receive the fruits of their
La bors knew as well as Hendrick what
the orders of the state superintendent were.
These contracts were invalid and Illegal,
because they knew the sisters must wear
the garbs If they taught at all"
Justice Nash, in dissent, agrees with the
ma iority on the constitutional prohibition
a gainst denominational teaching of this
kind in the public schools and the power
of the state superintendent to prevent such
teaching He finds, however. that the
method employed by him was, In his opin-
ion. illegal. It is possible, therefore, that
In the event of an appeal the court of ap-
meals may side with Justice Nash on the
question OF the proper procedure In ousting
the teachers.

that Mr, P, ks came down from Co.

him to have his business transacted
either through other parties or by

that Mr.. Covsr bad threatened to Kill
him IL he interfered. II is also rumor-
ed that Mr.. Covar had hesn informed
that Mr.. Parks intended to kill him
on account OF some reports that ne
had heard. We bslieVe This IDLE
Rancy S;nas's talk Is what caused the
whole trouble.
The fact Is that both parties acted
on the idle talk they had heard and
were well srrned and prepared for
shooting without delay. The father
Of MI. Covar, an old gentleman, WHIT
resides here with bis SOB, was also
armed. he did not attempt to shoot
and returned bis pistol to his pocket
when the pistol was taken away from
his son. After the fusilade when Mr..
Oovar was walking forward after Mr..
Parks, as stated above, the old gen
tleman called to his son to stop, which
he did.
The unfortunate affair has created
a great deal OF excitement, which oc'

Mr.. Parks was q native Of Edgeheld
coupty and came to Orangeburg from
Marion several years ago. During
his stay in Orangeburg he was in the

In this city as well as county, who
will be shocked to hear'of his tragic
death. Some years ago Mr.. Parks
married Miss Annie Perreyclear, a
daughter of Capt. W. II. Perreyclear,
Of this city, who with two sweet little
boys survive him.
Mr.. B. 81. Covar is also native
Of Edgefeld, and has been a resident
of this city for some years: Since ne
came here he has conducted himself
in.such q way as to gain the conf'
dence and respect OF all who have
come in contact with him. BE, like
Mr.. Parks, has many friends all over
the county, as we'll as in town. He
has q wife and several children, who
are terribly grieved over the cad az
fair. Mr.. Covar Is now at home suf-
