BROTHER FR4,s rA 1rrr

The deacons of the colored church de. oided that some repairing must be done to their edifice. Deacon Braxton was appointed committee of one to receive applications for this work, with the un- derstanding. that the one chosen should be familiar with the Bible history. The first to apply was Brother Fry Deacon Braxton explained to him the require ments, and asked him if he knew any, thing of Bible history.
 Brother Fry thought he did.
 "Well, said Deacon Braxton. ''you've heard that Daniel was put into den with a lot of hungary lions and left there long time, and came out absolutely unharmed. Do you believe that, Brother Fry"
 Brother Fry being anxious for the work said, q do."
 Good, said Deacon Braxton. Now, then, did you ever hear of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego - how they were put into fiery furnace, left there for long time. and came out with not a hair even singed. Do you believe that?''
 Brother Fry changed from one foot to the other, scratched ais head, clear ed his throat and said q can't believe that story?"
 Brother Fry walked slowly away. took his hat, went to the door. opened it, and, turning back to Deacon Braxton. said; T don't believe that Daniel story either"-Judge's Magazine of Fun.

Origin Of Words.

To Milan is owed the word 'milli-
nery,'' milliner having been original
~ a Milaner, an importer Of feminine
finery from Milan, just as s'cordwain-
er," shoemaker, was a worker in "cor
douan," leather from Cordova 1t is
curl ,us to note how many words have
come from the geographical names of
northern Italy. There is, for instance,
.'f1orin.' the coin of Florence, and "pis-
tol," from Pistoja.
DR.. Johnson said that the word .job''
was "a low word now much in use, of
which cannot tell the etymology." It
is supposed to be really identical with
'''gob," mouthful or morsel. Pepys
records how "my lord'' said to him, Il
will do you all the good jobs can
and Pepys himself speaks of Tangiei
as hitherto used as a jobb to do q
kindness to some lord. But the sim:
pie monosyllabic ugliness of the word
was too much for Johnson.
Many words Of most august sound
prove to be of quite commonplace an
cestry when traced to their origins.
Finance is really only settling up. Z
Literally It is just ending and was
formerly used in that very simple
sense in the English language. Then II
came to signify settling up with q
creditor and acquired the special sense
of ransom.

THIRTY JEWS MASsACRED
MANY OTHERS INJURED IN ANTI
SEMITIC OUTBREAK AT BIA-
LYsTok, RUSSIA.


Bialystok, Russia, June 16.-So far
as can be ascertained thirty Jews
were killed during the outbreak here.
The hospitals are filled with wounded,
but it is impossible to ascertain the
correct number of the casualties, as
many of the injured are hidden in
private houses. All the Jewish shops
I on the four principal streets were
sacked
Military and police patrols now
guard the streets and no civilians are
allowed to leave their houses. A sort
of armed truce has been established
pending the complete restoration of
order
According to the best information
obtainable the attacks on the Jews
We're provoked by the throwing Of a
bomb into a religious procession, Sc.
rlously wounding a priest, Father Fe-
daroff, who was at the head of the
procession, and several of his assist
ants. This aroused the Christian pop
ulation and although the perpetrators
or the outrage We're unknown the re-
spons1bility was promptly placed on
the Jews. A mob was soon formed
and for several hours ravaged the
Jewish quarters, pillaging the shops
and hunting down and beating their
occupants. For hours the bodies of
the dead and wounded lay uncared for
In the streets. The Jews concealed
themselves in cellars and attics in
order to escape the fury of the mob
and many fled from the city.

DIVINE FIREWORKS nlsPLAYED.
.Dowie on Witness Stand Tells Of
Heavenly Visitations.

| 81 . y
Chicago, June 16.--Pyrotechni dis
plays during the night, accompanied
Isby the sweetest music imaginable,
were some of the manifestations
which the Divine Being visited upon
Alexander Dowie, according to his
statement on the witness stand before
Judge Landis in the trial of the Zion
City controversy.
Attorney Newman led DoWie into a
long and detailed explanation of how
he witnessed these displays, heard
the music and once saved a ship from
wreck with prayer. His object was to
show that Dowie never was mentally
right; that as a result OF his mental
condition he saw these visions and
that he is not proper person to head
an institution of the character of Zion
City and the Christian Catholic Apos-
tolic Church of Zion.
Dowie declared that John Murray
Dowie, who had always claimed to
be his, father, is not his real father,
but married Dowie's mother six
months after DoWR's birth. DoWle
declares that his re;N father was killed
while serving as soldier in the Brit-
ish army.
The aged Zionist declared that
when he was at the height of his pow
er in Zion City collections in his
church ran from 100000 to 100000
year.

IRELATIoNs BETWEEN RUSSIAN
GOVERNMENT AND MEMBERS
OF PARLIAMENT.
INDUSTRIAL AGITATION INCREASING
WoRkMEN ABANDON HOPE OF
GAINING THEIR DEMANDS BY
PEACEFUL MEANS.

st. Petersburg, June 1.-THE press
Is unanimous in its profound pessi-
mfsm over Thursdays events in the
lower house Of parliament The situa-
ton is strained to the breaking point
The attempt of the military procu-
rator, General Pavloff, in behalf of
War Minister Rudiger, to shift the re-
sponsibilfty for the military execu-
tions to the minister of the interior
is palpable evasion of the issue
raised by the house and has echoed
throughout the country The result
is that a storm of indignation has been
aroused and is being augmented by
the cool attempt of the government
to invade the inviolability of the mem
i bers of parliament by its demand for
the expulsion of M. Ulianoff.
Whether the government dares fol-
low up legally the refusal of the house
to expel M. Ulianoff and it's Haunting
of Procurator Pavloff is now the ques-
tion. Unless the government is def
initely resolved to give battle the Co
remykin ministry must fall into the
chasm between it and parliament,
which is now unbridgeable. M Al
ladin, leader of the peasant workmen
group, openly boasted from the ros-
trum that the death of the ministers
would be the country's rejoinder to
the governments refusal to abolish
the death penalty. Some of the pa
pers believe that Thursdays events
definitely foreshadow the govern
ment's -
Intention to Dissolve Parliament
and they emphasize the military con-
spiracy Of the officers of the guard
regiments, which is progressing un-
checked before everybody's eyes at
the capital. It is significant that the
Novoe Vremya, hitherto a thick and
thin supporter of the government, is
silent. The Rech and the Strana,
which of the liberal papers best keep
their heads In times of stress, sadly
comment on rapidly waning chances
OF an understanding being arrived at
between the emperor and parliament.
They consider that the only hope now
lies in the emperor discarding his evil
advisers Immediately and trying the
experiment Of surrounding himself
with representatives of the people.
The agitation among the workmen
here Is increasing and several strikes
are already in operation. At meet
ing Of 5000 Social Democratic work
men it was declared that parliament
had engaged in futile talk for g month
and had done nothing and that the
wOrkmen must have recourse to gen.
eral strike. Representatives of the
bakers announced that the bakeries
would be closed in a few days and
that the city would be without bread.

a paying investment. The statement
was made in connection with the read

the stock would be worth $500 on the

completion, notwithstanding fully ap-
