DIR. CAMPBELL'S ANNIVERSARY.
On Sunday, July LIST, DR.. William Creighton
Campbell and the First Presbyterian Church of
Roanoke, Va, celebrated the twenty-ffth ami
versary of the pastoral relation, which has been
so effective and so happy. The church, which
organized in 1851 at the village of Big
Lick, had for its first PASTOR the Rev. Urias
Powers, of Salem, whose name is especially re-
membered by his bequest to the Library Fund
of Union Theological Seminary. Of the six
ministers who have been former pastors of this
church, three are living, and they were all pres
ent to take part in the interesting services of the
day Dr. Henry White, of Winchester; Dr. AL
fred Jones, of Fredericksburg; and Dr. James
p. Smith, of Richmond.
AT the morning service, DR.. White preached
to large congregation on the text, Psalm xix
z, 'The law of the Lord is perfect converting
the soul" In the afternoon at half-past three
DIR. Smith preached a short sermon to the chill
dren and young people; and DR. Campbell bap-
tlzed two little babes-one at the opening and
the other at the closing of the service, making
an impressive exhibition before parents and chill
dren Of the Household Covenant with its obi

congregation assembled and DR.. Jones preached
an earnest sermon that will not be forgotten
On Monday evening the ladies of the church
rendered reception to the congregation and
the friends of Dr. Campbell at the manse. 1t
was largely attended, and the present pastor and
Mrs. Campbell received the affectonate and
grateful congratulations of great number of

"a large place." And together they praise God
for all his goodness

where he was a frequent visitor, and
one evening, after some one had told
the story OF Senator Evarts' daughter
begging him to come back to the
farm, because her donkey was so lone

Well my little girl almost equaled
that. She had three baby tadpoles
given her, and she forthwith christen-

Clay. The third she hesitated over;
but on my return to Washington she
wrote me that she had named the
biggest one Gen. Cogswell, and |
could use my discretion about break
ing it to the general.
"Then | used to get bulletins like

bright, and Pm afraid he isn't we'll;
Daniel Websters legs are coming out
finely, but his tails a failure; Gen.
Cogswell is awfully snappish'; and
finally came the sad news, Henry is
cold cold Clay!' Boston Herald.

SAILOR DAYS OF KING HAAkON.
ROYAL Prince Lived Identical Life Of
Other Apprentices.

Norways new king was once an
apprentice in the Danish navy. In
the mess to which he belonged he
was called by his first name-that is,
Karl in Danish-and he had to eat
the same grub and stand the same
hardships as all the other appren-
tees. Although everybody knew him
to be a prince of the realm, no differ
ence whatever was paid him as such.
On the contrary, he was "hazed' and
made miserable in good old midship-
man style. He took his medicine
bravely enough. On board ship he
had to mend his own clothes, darn
his socks, sew on buttons and keep
his weapons and accountrements in
order. He slept in regulation sailor
hammock, with his clothes rolled up
under his head for pillow, without
a. nightshirt and wearing only sail
or's wooden striped undershirt and
bundled up in a wooden blanket, some
times with his sea boots dangling by
the hammock rope. He used to make
the big brass pinnacle flash like sill
yer mail. He could never quite get
used to chewing tobacco, which in
the eyes of every true apprentice is
one of the cardinal virtues, and when
ever he was seasick, which often hap
pened, he used to sit in the gangway
on a. bucket and chew rye bread.

LONG WAIT FOR VINDlCATiON.
Womsns innocence Discovered After
Six Years in Prison.

One of the strangest of stories OF
false imprisonment comes from
France. A woman was sentenced to
Imprisonment for life for having
caused the death of her husband and
brother. The three lived together at
Malaunay, near Rouen, in cottage,
the lower part of which was used as
a wineshop. When the woman was
sent to prison other people took the
wineshop, but the new tenants suf-
fered, the man from fainting fits, his
wife from nausea, from which she
died. Another couple tried their for
tune, but they, too, were overcome by
the spell Of the accursed place" as
they thought it. They were subject
to fainting and loss of memory. At
last scientific examination Of the
premises was made. Then it was
found that adjoining the Inn was a
lime kiln. In the wall dividing 1t
from the cottage were many assures,
so that whenever lime was burnt
monoxde Of carbon escaped into the
inn. This was the secret Of the deaths
for which the woman was suffering.
She was brought out of prison after
six years of servitude.

Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, the con-
queror of Robert Fitzsimmons-hi
real name is Joseph Frank Hagan-
began his boxing career poorly, and
those who witnessed his early bouts
never expected to see his name cou-
pied with that of such noted pugi
list as Fitzsimmons, who was at that
time regarded as the greatest fighter
of his weight this or any country had
ever known.
When O'Brien began boxing he was
neither strong nor rugged, although
very active. Lacking the ability to
hit hard, he was not regarded as
dangerous proposition for men of his
weight. But his improvement was
rapid, and he was soon able to out
point the chaps who met him, his one
weakness being his inability to ad
minister punishment to his opponents.
Jack could not hit hard enough to
be considered seriously.
But the boy had an idea that he
could fight, and he stuck to his work
manfully. Being always ready to learn,
he picked up something from every
man he encountered, and never lost
an opportunity to attend the bouts be-
tween the really great fighters of that
day, carefully studying their every
movement, with great thoroughness.
Crafty Business Manager.
Selecting his opponents with great
care, he made many trips about the
country, and met many boxers of his
own weight. This gave him reputa-
ton which enabled him to meet some
of the best English opponents of the
tistic art when he crossed the pond
to win several important battles. His
style was so fast that he carried the
slower Britons off their feet by his
skill, winning out on points by such
large margin that the spectators
had no doubts as to which was the
better man.
Returning with the English cham
pionship, O'Brien set to work to make
money by meeting all the boxers of
note in his home city, Philadelphia.
One by one he faced them all, great
and small, excepting only Corbett and
Jeffries, and was always there at the
finish. Some of the bouts looked like
hippodromes, and it was openly said
that O'Brien tied his men up by for
feits so effectually that they dared
not knock him out, but they were at
liberty to outpoint him if they could.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1906-01-05

To beat O'Brien on points was a very
difficult matter, and it became more
so the longer he continued in the
game, for he kept right on learning,
growing better and better with every
added year.
Finally he met Tommy Ryan in a
queer bout, and then he boxed Kid
Mccoy, the man from whom he learn
ed much of his cleverness. Before
this bout was half over it was appar-
ent to all who knew anything about
boxing that it was an exhibition and
not a contest.
First Meeting With Fitz.
Then O'Brien faced Bob Fitzsim.
mons for six rounds, proving to the
satisfaction of all that he could out
box the daddy of them ALL even II
he could not Outright him. The con-
test was cut short half minute to
prevent brutality. Fitz having artisti-
cally knocked Jack down with a little
left on the chin late in the sixth
round. In this bout O'Brien seemed
to do the best of which he was capa-
BILE. Fitzsimmons did the same, bar
ring putting more steam behind his
blows. Both later claimed they did
not.
Once Fitz worked on O'Brien the
same shift with which he has won so
many battles, and had he let it go
O'Bren must have followed Sharkey,
Corbett, Rubin, and other of Fitz'
victims, for no one who gets it comes
back for more. But for some reason
best known to himself Bob did not
put his power behind the blow, and
merely touched OBrien's stomach as
he rushed into the trap.
In time O'Brien's fakes became so
apparent that he was no longer a
great drawing card with any one
whom he had already met, and as
there were no new ones in sight he
took the trip to the Klondike, and
then worked down into California,
where he meat and defeated in an ap-
parently honest match AL Kaufman,
a young Hercules who had just grad
uated from the amateur ranks. Then
came the announcement Of his Sec
ond match with Fitzsimmons.
O'Brien has all along declared that
he would be the recognized champion
of the country, if not of the world,
some time, and has said that he could
and would hit hard as his strength
and weight increased.

Rules of the Monastery.

TauICS VI tIC "OIdSlSIys
At La Grande Chartreuse there
were thirty-six monks, but there were
many novices and a large number
OF workmen in their distillery at
Fourvoirie, near by. Each monk has
his cell, from which he seldom comes
excepting for services in the chapel,
which are frequent. The most re-
markable of their services Is their
Light service, which begins about
10:45 o'clock, and, according to the
occasion, the monks get back to their
cells at or o'clock. They are up
again at 6 o'clock and when not at
tending their solemn services in the
chapel are reading, praying or study
ing in their cells.
They never eat animal food and
their fare is always very scanty.
From Sept IA each year to the next
Easter they observe what is called
the long fast, during which they eat
ut one meal day, excepting Sun
Gays, when the monks assemble to-
gether in the refectory and have what
they consider two very good meals,
but which would scarcely meet with
the favor of the average person. The
monks wear white robe with a cowl
and during the day wear next to their
skin a hair shirt. Attached to each
cell is little garden, which is cared
for by the monk quartered there.
Thai is almost the only recreation
which is theirs.
