TELEGRAM.

Senator Beveridge stopped on
pennsylvania train No. 20 while pass

Washington yesterday. in order to send
message by telegraph and the Sen.

caught the rear end of the fast train,
which was getting UP speed on its trip
east. And even with all his show OF
speed and great desire for the mes.
sage to be forwarded at once, il came
very near being left in the local office
The message was to be sent paid. but
the Senator either had to miss his
train or miss paying for the message,
so he took the latter course. The oper.

himself. The charges on the message
were over two dollars. so he ignored
Senator Beveridge's request to hurry
the message, and instead sent it ia
the uptown office. where Manager
Burr decided to send it collect, with
the hope that the fellow at the other
end of the line would pay. He did this
and 1t is presumed that the person in
Annapolis, Maryland, to whim the mes
sage was addressed, paid the bill, and
wondered IL Senator Beveridges purse
was running low
The scene at the station when the
Senator finally caught his train was
very exciting. The colored porter ac.
companied Senator Beveridge into the
depot. taking his place at the door and
doing the double duty of watching the
train and warning the Senator.
His first warning was, You'd BETA

The Rev. T. H. Kuhn, who for the

Mr.. Kuhn highly commended the peo-

city, but whether my efforts have sue
ceeded will be judged not here, but in
the great hearafter, when the judg
ment books are opened
The ministry of the Rev. Kuhn in
this city has been short but effec-
tive. AS soon as he came to the city
he became identified With the more

Up until the time he began his re-

Christian church was at premium.
During the campaign, which he was
waging against James E. Watson he
resigned his pulpit to devote all his
time to the political battle, and his
resignation was accepted.
He, however, was asked to serve the
church until Jan. 1, the time when the
new pastor of the church was expect
ed in the city.
Rev Kuhn will still remain in
Richmond, but will devote the great

articles forming this totsi indicates
that large part consists of articles
of food and clothing or other mer-
