Big Gun in Church
Mr.. COLES DEMONSTRATED WITH
USHER WHO DEMANDED
SILENCE.

CONNELLsvILLE, Pa, July 8. :
Henry Coles, aged 60, broke up the
services at Mt. Zion Baptist Church
New Haven. During a prayer he came
into the church and, regardless of the
sanctity of worship, began talking
loudly to person in adjacent pews, An
usher attempted to silence him, but
Mr.. Coles was determined that he
should be heard.
When the usher approached him a
second time he reached for his hip
pocket and drew out a big revolver
He didn't fire, but the sight of IT
started a panic among the congrega'
ton. Men and women sought the near
est exit. Some went by way OF the
doors and others tlmbled through the
windows, smashing the glass as they
sought for safety.
The pastor, the Rev. R. D. Epps
ran to the home of County Detective
McBeth, who found Coles in full pos
scion of the ediice. Coles surrender
ed and Justice of the Peace Butter
more committed him to Jail. Only
about dozen persons returned to the
church and the service were abandon
ed.

TWO BOYS CONTRIBUTE NEARLY
SEVENTY DOLLARS FOR CAR.
RYlNG REvoLVERs.

WHEELING, July 9.-1t was rath'
er expensive lesson Alex. Anderson
and Edward McCulley learned in the
county jail last night. 1t was no cor
respondence school by mail sort Of
an, affair, but Justice R. G. Hobbs
handed it directly across the judicia!
bench to them in a package, and the
tuition fee was close to $40. The les
son was upon the evil Of carrying re.
volyers and discharging them in cele'
bration of the Fourth, after the Fourth
had been torn off the calendar. The
complainant was Officer Seamon, and
the boys themselves admitted their
guilt. AS a result the court made it
s25 and costs in each instance.
There are number of boys in the
city hardly big enough to wear long
trousers, and who show pin feathers
where a mustache ought to be, who
are toting guns. That more accidents
do not occur is the wonder, and the
authorities are determined to break
the custom up SO far as possible, and
an example is to be made Of all SO
unfortunate as to fail into the
clutches of the law with shooting
irons Of any sort. They will be fash
lonable in Red Gulch or Rocky Can
yon, and the heroes Of Diamond Dick
may sport them, but the local authori-
ties haxe sounded the death knell of
the fashion in Wheeling.

Sixty Families
WILL BE BENEFITED BY CHANGE
IN MAIL SERVICE ON THE
SOUTH SIDE.

The city mail service has been ex'
tended from Ninth street on Virgin,
ia and CASTOR avenues through to and
including Twelfth street. This change
was effected this morning and will
accommodate about sixty families.
Heretofore this territory was served
by rural carrier No. 1. The city car
rler's route ends at the car barn. He
will then board the car and return to
the Office. Carrier No. Z now serves
both sides Of Fairmont avenue as far
as Ninth street. The carrier then
boards the car and returns to the W,
c. T. U. building and then serves Wal.
nut, Benoni, Coleman and Mt. Vernon
avenues, and the cross streets. This
gives the patrons a much better ser.
vice than. they had.

VILLAGE AGAIN.

IT .F i . b ! i q
PlTTsBURG, July st-After a few
weeks Of excitement in Pittsburg
with now and then a bitter experience
17.yearold Esther Johnson left this
city yesterday afternoon for her home
in PhilJipsburg, Pa, vowlng she would
never leave there again.
During her stay here Esther had
the sensations Of being homeless, o.
being in the hands of the police and
Of being in a hospital. She is the girl
who was found lying unconscious on
the lawn Of the Pittsburg hospital last
Thursday morning,
Before starting homeward the
police took Esther to the Frapkstown
avenue station where she told the
true story of her experiences. She
said she had been employed at the
home Of DR.. George s. Proctor, TAG
Mead street, but was out Of a Job and
home when the family left the city
for the summer. Esther said she not
only did not have place to sleep
for several nights, but had also gone
without food. She had several faint,
ing spells, she said, prior to being
found on the hospital lawn. 1t was
her intention, the girl declared, to
seek admission to the hospital, but
her strength gave out before she
mounted the steps.

yards down the grade from the far

at lightning speed, suddenly veered
and at a shout from the chauffeur the
four men leaped out Of the car. An

Our public school closes this week
and as usual it has its graduating
class. To them, and to all bright
young minds launched from the
school-room of books into the school
room of life, We would recommend
as their first lesson, the following
splendid teaching of Charles A.
Murdock- "No success deserves
the name if it in any way lessons
manhood or womanhood. It may
be better to deserve success than to
attain it. To the extent that the
faculties are cultivated, the chances
for success are increased. A de-
termined viii is the FIRE under the
boiler, without which the best engine
is v~alueless. Dogged persistence
often distances brilliant ability. He
Who has regard for his duties and
responsibilities is commonly accord
ed his rights Tobe ashamed to work
is the disgrace of the degenerate.
Differences Of lot or OF endowment
are the necessary conditions of ex-
istence, and should excite neither
envy nor bitterness All men are
equal in the most essential partic-
ular each can do his best. Selfcon-
troll is the first rung on the ladder
of success He who does cne thing
supremacy well IS spared the nee
cessity of doing many things indifer-
It is well to look out for
..urself, but better to remember that
here are others He who laughs
he can IS able TO bear when he
must To be satisfied IS dangerous
10 be self-satizfed IS uinous. Con-
idence invites success, and cheer
adds inducenent. The past,
'or better OF ~o-se, IS buried In char
lcter; the present IS 10 be net With
courage: the future never arrives
Tudicious discontent IS the running
Of progress. He Who has +,
pluck need-not Ezit for lrck." /.
