MAKES HIS WIFE HIS SISTER.
Pastor Renounees Wedlock After
Hearing Sermon at Revival.

Colorado Springs, Col.-Dr. l. D..
Christie, pastor of New Mission
church, and his wife have announced
their intention to live together here
after as brother and sister until death
parts them.
The couple have been married five
years, and their decision, given out
under dramatic circumstances, at a
big revival meeting caused a sensa-
tion. Before their marriage DR.. Chris
tie and his wife had each been di.
vorced. At a revival meeting in the
New Mission, church Rev. Charles w.
Savidge. OF Omaha, Neb., in a SER
mon denouncing divorce, declared that
divorced persons who married again
were lost beyond hope of redemption.
DIR. Christie and his wife were in
tent listeners to the sermon. At its
conclusion they held whispered con-
ference. Then they approached the
altar and thanked Rev. Mr.. Savidge
for enlightening them. Each con.
fessed to having been divorced before
their marriage. and said they now
wished to make amends I'm the eyes
Of God"
In voice broken with emotion, DR..
Christie then addressed the people in
the church, and announced that hence

YOUNG PEOPLE dine At
BOTTOM OF COAL MINE
Vincent Gourley, Of Springfield, Ill.,,
Entertains His Guests in
Novel Manner.

Springfield, Ill.-The novelty of a
brand-new sensation was provided
for his guests the other evening when
Vincent C. Gourley, of this city, en-
tertained party of young society
people in the bottom of a coal mine,
where a supper OF several courses
was served.
Supper at the bottom of coal
mine in Illinois is not a new thing
for many, but it was about the new
est thing ever for the party of So
ciety buds and their escorts, all of
whom were dressed in the garb of
the professional coal miner.
Mr.. Gourley entertained for his
cousin, Miss Alice Heydecker, of
Waukegan, and the particular mine
selected was Solomon's. 20 miles
south of Springfield. The party de-
parted from Springfield at seven
o clock in the evening, and spent sew
eral hours in the bottom of the black
pit. They returned about II o'clock.
Solomon's mine is one of the best
equipped in the state. 1t is lighted
by electricity. and, IN addition to the
miners cars. there is an electric OBJ
servatory car. The party used this

INDIAN DIES AND
RETURNS TO LIFE.

carried him to his hut in the forest
near Barren Fork creek.
There Catron was laid upon his bed
and efforts were made to restore him
to consciousness. but to no avail. and
he was given up for dead.
All the next day he lay stark and
cold and 1t was decided to bury him
on the following day. Consequently.
preparations for performing the last
ofnces were begun, but, after all, the
interment was not to be. for before
the sun had arisen on the day set for
the funeral obseQuies Catron began to
show signs of returning animation,
and by the time the sunbeams were
dissipating the mists In the Barren
Fork valley the supposedly dead man
was very much alive and ready to par
take of food and drink and in a few
days, as strong as usual, was to be
seen about his usual haunts.
But while he was well physically as
ever, the processes Of Catron's mind
were diverted into other channels.
Whereas he had previous to his un-
conscious state entered into the COM
monplace conversations Of his COM
panions with readiness, he now as
sumed more dignified carriage.
All of this was in itself surprising
to his neighbors, already mystified by
his return from what was supposed by
them to be death, but their surprise
was even greater when Catron in
formed them that he had really been
dead, had seen both heaven and hell
and the position to be occupied in the
unseen world by the red, white and
black races.
His future on earth. he indicated,
would be different from what it had
been in the past In conversation
with an old acquaintance, Catron in
formed him that he (Catron) was like
the Lord in that he, too, had been
dead and had arisen. Claiming at first
to be a man of business, Catron pur-
chased suitcase and, going to Well
ing, boarded a train, saying that he
intended going to Washington for the
purpose of consulting the president on
public questions of Importance. How
ever, he did not make an extended
journey, but was back home in few
days, making preparations for preach
ing. and addressed large crowd of
fullbloods in the mountain regions, far
down the Illinois river.
Catron is a slender, dark man of Or
dinary appearance and one of the last
that would be supposed to have
mission" to perform, but his having
SO strangely fallen into what was APP
parently the state of death and hav-
ing returned will, no doubt, cause him
to be regarded with peculiar venera-
tion and awe by large bands of his
people.

China is now taking step which
will eventually lead to abolition of
foreign courts in Chinese territory for
the trial of foreigners and the adjudi-
cation of cases in which foreigners are
parties. Heretofore Chinese or others
accused OF crime before Chinese
courts have had no lawyers for their
defense and no trial by jury. It is now
proposed that they shall have both.
Lawyers for counsel Of parties to civil
suits and to argue legal questions will
follow in due course. In short, CON-
plete system of rational jurisprudence
founded on our western systems will
in time succeed to the crude system
which has existed in China from time
immemorial.

There is an interesting report to the

process by which the stalk Of the cot
ton plant, heretofore waste prod

paper Of excellent quality by the same
processes that are now applied to wood
pulp and other materials and with lit
lie or no modification of papermaking

chamois Skin of Commerce.

Charles c. Druedling, of Philadel-
phia, has written an article for the
American Journal Of Pharmacy on the
subject of chamois skins. What is
known in the market as chamois skins,
he says. is really an obtained sheep
or lamb skin lining. The supply OF
skins from the chamois animal is very
limited-enough could not be obtained
in year to supply the United States
for more than single day. He made
special inquiry on recent visit to
Switzerland about the annual crop of
the chamois skin and ascertained that
from 5000 to 5000 skins would be a
fair average yearly crop. This skin is
heavier than the skin of the sheep or
lamb also much coarser. For strength
and durability the chamois skin is pre-
serable. but for ordinary use and ap-
pearance the obtained sheep skin
lining would, in most instances, be
preferred.

A woman who has used Postum

Dslatsd Justice y the Hen.

Delated Justice - the Hen.
Hens were brought to this country
very shortly. II at all. after the frst
settlements. and they have been doing
their duty faithfully ever since. But
for some unknown reason the hens

preciated. The individual farmers
wife. OF course. might know that the
mortgage had been lifted from the
farm BY means OF eggs and chickens;
but the American hen was not yet an
institution like the American COW or
the American hog. Just when the ma
tons eyes were opened to the worth
OF this feathered benefactress cannot
be definitely stated. But something
like three years ago. about the time
OF the international egg-laying contest
In Australia, came the full realization
OF the number Of times that the HARM
less necessary hen has saved the
country. But the time has come. ex-
plains the New York Post, to look
squarely at the facts. No amount of
popular clamor will swerve US from
our duty OF telling the truth about this
once-neglected and now overrated
American biped. The hen is not the
chief bulwark of our prosperity. Our
sheep and lambs are worth twice as
much. our mules two and half times
as much. our horses more than ten
times. and our tribe Of cattle II times
4s much. Recite these facts to the
next scatter-witted, conceited fowl

OF the roadway when your motor is
bearing down upon her. II we must
get enthusiastic about something, what

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. THE re-
port of the special committee Of the
board OF trustees of the Chamber OF
Commerce on insurance settlements af-
ter the big fire which has just been
published says:
The total area burned was about
5000 acres or about Al square miles,
containing $40 blocks and about 25.00O
buildings. one-half of these were resi-
dences.
THE amount of insurance covering
property in the burned district was ap-
proximately $235. .000, 900. estimated. All
CT this had been written by companies
authorized to do business in the state
except Sc, 000, 600 which had been placed
outside of the state in some 100 COM
panies. The value Of buildings and con-
tents destroyed in the fire must have
been about $3.50 100000, being an estl-
known ratio of insurance to value, about
70 per cent, and a guess that there was
about per cent of property that car
ried no insurance.
AN immense sum of insurance has
been paid into this city, far larger
sum than companies have ever been call
ed upon to pay at one time before. IN
spite of the earthquake, in spite of the
nearness in time of the Baltimore and
Toronto CONGREGATIONS, the companies
will finally have paid undoubtedly in
the neighborhood of so per cent of the
amount of insurance involved. At Chi
cago there was so per cent paid; in Bal
tfInOre 80 per cent.
