Gently revealed the discouraging fact
that out of the population Of 1900
over 5000 do not go to church. The
reason of this was discussed among the
preachers. and finally some backsliding
brother sent communication to one Of
the newspapers saying that the middle
class people were driven from the
churches on account of the homage
paid the rich, and cited the election of
John d. Rockefeller as Superintendent
OF Sunday school in Cleveland as an
instance. The ministers then jumped
to the defense Of the church, one OF
them declaring in a sermon that the
church cares nothing for wealth, and
asserting that if Christ came to earth
to-day he would find John D. and other
multl-milliOnaireS very c0nOpnfaf

Comrade Charles L. Marburg, Of
Baltimore. died on the I'd instant at
Walters Park, Pa. Comrade Marburg

lery. At the close of the war he re-
turned to his home and became asso-
ciated with his father in the tobacco
business. subsequently becoming head
of the noted house of Marburg Broth
ers, manufacturers of smoking tobacco.
Comrade Marburg took a lively inter-

one of the charter members of Wilson

and was always conspicuous at every
National Encampment. He was also a
member of the Grand Army Club of

If you should happen to see a very
charming looking woman lift her pret-
ty. shapely arm to her lips, 6aintily
touching what seems to be solid GOLD
bracelet, ask no questions: she is SIM
ply bracing herself with small cock
tail contained therein. The bracelet in
stead of being solid is hollow and large
enough to hold couple of thimblefuls
of cocktail. and the pressure on tiny
spring permits the fluid to trickle thru
a tiny hole too small to be seen. Scores
OF these cocktail bracelets are sold
every season, and as the fair purchasers
naturally insist upon secrecy in the
transaction, they are obliged to pay
pretty penny for the questionable trink-
ct.
