BUILD CHURCH IN A DAY.
Artisans Working Under Woman
Pastors Direction do Quick Job.

Gary, Ind. Oct. 12.-Working un-
der the direction Of their pastor
the Rev. Martha Stout Trimble, the
members of the Christian church
erected and completed church build
ing here in one afternoon. Prepara-
tions began some days ago and early
Saturday afternoon the building ma
terial, which had been given was un-
loaded on the ground. Carpenters,
electricians, cement workers and 9th
er journeymen gave their labor and
at 1880 o'clock the first stake was
driven.
Before 2 o'clock the floor was being
laid and as soon as the walls were up
the electricians began stringing the
wires. BY 4 o'clock the roof was be-
ing shingled and at the same time
the cement workers began moulding a
baptistry inside the chancel rail.
With the rapidity of moving pic
ture the steps, doors and windows
were placed in position and the con-
struction of the spire began. The fin
ishing touches were added by .
O'Clock, when chairs and the organ
on the lawn were moved in. Soon
after s O'Clock Mrs. Trimble began
holding services.

Strange Burial Custom.

A custom that must seem very
strange to many of us, is the meth
cd of disposing of the dead which OBJ
tains in Mexico, Filipino, and other
Roman Catholic Spanish cemeteries.
The bodies are not deposited in the
ground. but in inches in wall, the
openings being then sealed with
stone slabs lettered with the names
of the deceased. These inches are
let by the chruch at yearly fee,
and the body reposes peacefully
therein so long as the rent is paid.
When it ceases to be paid, however,
the remains are ousted for nonpay-
ment. The bodies which are "evict-
ed for nonpayment of sepulcher
rent are turned into mummies by
the mild, dry climate Of that region.
These mummified bodies are kept for
a year, and if at the end of that time
the relatives of the deceased have not
paid another years rent to reinstate
the corpse, the remains are thrown
unceremoniously into great under
ground vault so feet deep and about
800 feet in length.-Wide World.

BRIDE OF THE SEA.
Body of Girl Sealed in Steel Coffin and
Sunk in Gulf of Mexico.

New Orleans, Oct. 12.-Miss Mar
jorie Miller, Is years old, daugh'

University, was buried in the Gulf OF
Mexico by her own fixed choice. She
was drowned several weeks ago while
bathing near Tallulah Falls, Ca.
where she was spending the summer
Her body was held until her fathers
return from Europe.
Miss Miller loved the water from
childhood. She made repeated re-
quests that her parents give he1
body to the ocean.
Accordingly, after the family had
given the question consideration
for a week, the body was removed
from the receiving vault, sealed in
steel coffin, heavily weighted, and car
ried far out into the Gulf of Mexico
There it was lowered into the bosom
of the ocean with simple ceremony

Origin Of Cottonseed Oil

It has recently been discovered
that the Chinese were the first to dis
cover the uses of cottonseed oil.
These ingenious people, centuries
ago, learned to crush the seed and
burned the oil obtained in their
hand lamps. The phlegmatic celes-
tial, however, makes little of inven-
tions and discoveries, and is not 80
eager to let the world know of his &C
complishments as he might be, so,
for a great many years after cotton
raising had become a great world in
dustry, the seed was considered
worthless. except to produce its kind.
In fact, it was considered Injurious,
both to feed animals and to scatter
upon the land. This is shown by
some of the early laws in many OF
the Southern States. The natural re-
suit of these laws and superstitions
was the piling up of huge mounds
of seed on! tracts of worthless land,
surrounded by fences, which were
horse high, bull strong, and pig
tight, as it was against the law to
run the see1 into the streams, for 1t
was considered injurious to the fish
es even. The goat was exempted.
Nothing could injure the goat and ne
was allowed to winter at his pleasure
on cotton seed. So it happened the
Billy became the discoverer OF the
wonderful feeding value of cotton
seed as a flesh and fat producer. 1t
was also discovered that cotton seed
was a most valuable fertilizing agent,
equal to the best Peruvian guano and
the dump heaps soon disappeared, as
the eknowledege became current among
the cotton planters. The beginning
of the oil industry may be said to
date in the year 1851, when cotton
seed oil was awarded a prize at an
exhibition that year and people be-
gan to look into it's uses. From
that time the growth was rapid un-
til now, according to latest statistics
there are nearly 1000 cotton seed
mills in the United Staes alone, and
there is a demand for every pound
Of cotton seed meal produced by
these mills.

A COWARDLY RUFFIAN.
Used Body of Boy to Check Bullets.
Commits Suicide.

New York, Oct. 12.-Chas. Fischer,
a boy of IL years, was swung writh-
ing and screaming from the sidewalk
last night by a man brute who used
the little fellows body to check bull
let fired by Harry Greenwald, an ex-
pugilist. The missile pierced the
child's brain and he died within an
hour. Greenwald, terror stricken, and
pursued by citizens and police, dash
ed into hallway and committed sui
eide. The man who used the boy as
screen escaped. His name is not
known to the police.
Greenwald was about rs years old
and was known to his sporting friends
as "Biz Clark He was at one time
sparring partner of Harry "Biff'
Stone, of Baltimore, but of late had
been working as ticket taker at a
moving picture theatre in Harlem.
Young Fischer was returning from
an errand for his mother about dusk.
AS he turned from 103rd street into
Madison avenue, he saw Greenwaid
and the unidentified man engaged in
a heated argument. The frightened
boy attempted to pass between them
when the unknown man grasped him
and held him before his face just as
the former prize fighter whipped out
revolver and fired. The bullet en-
tered the boys head and the unknown
coward dropped him and fled.
Seeing his mistake, Greenwald still
with the revolver in his hand. broke
and ran. A policeman gave chase
and thousand men and women who
had heard Of or witnessed the trag-
edy, Joined in the pursuit. The hunt
ed man once turned as if to fire on his
pursuers, then hard pressed, he
sprang past a group of startled child
ren and attempted to force his way
into a cellar. Failing in this he
placed the pistol to his temple and
blew out his brains.
The murdered child lived with his
widowed mother, Mrs. Madeline F1s-
cher, and was one of five sons, the
eldest of whom is 19.

Fired Into Passing Train.

Yorkville, Oct. 14.-As the early
morning train from Rock Hill on the
iSouthern railway was about mile
from this station this morning, COM
ing through a deep cut, some one
fred into the first class coach.
The bullet crashed through the
window glass and passed between
Henry Massey, of Tirzah, and A. M.
Haddon, of Sharon. AS soon as pos
sible, Superintendent Lindsay, of the
chaingang brought in his blood
hounds, and he, with Deputy Sherlf1
Quinn. Chief of Police Love, Con-
stable Sanders and a posse, made a
dilligent search Tor the offender, but
could get no trail of him. Sherlft
Brown had gone up to Stroup's store
to investigate a burglary of that
building last night, of which sartic-
ulars are not yet obtainable.
Just a few nights ago, as the train
on the Southern due here at O'CLOCK
from Marion and Blacksburg, was
about two or three miles west OF this
place, some one threw rock through
an open window of the first class
coach at which J. w. Kirkpatrick, a
merchant of this place was sitting.
The rock struck him on the,shoulder'
inflicting painful bruise. He saw
the man who threw the rock, but ne
escaped.
Investigations are going on.

I'm THE LOVE OF NATURE"
What a Woman Found in the Coun.
try.

It was my lot in my young wo-
manhood, to make my home on a
farm in secluded neighborhood, says
Mrs. F. L. Townsend in Raleigh Pro-
gressive Farmer and Gazette. Few
girls are situated so unpleasantly ii
one considers the purely social side
Of things. We were four miles from
q village, no church near, very few
neighbors, and those we rarely saw.
The first winter, life occasionally
seemed to narrow down to waiting for
the mail and that didn't always turn
up at the right time. We had no free
delivery then. There were no phones
then in the country. The nearby
river had an unmannerly habit OF
getting out of it's banks so that days
would sometimes pass before the post
Office could be visited. One time that
winter we were ten days without a
sign from the outside world. Per-
haps moped a bit, though I don't
remember doing so, but the people
were so new to me-the few that l
saw-the old house was full of in
teresting memories Ito say nothing
of the ''ha MT that climbed the stairs
and ratified ghostly chains in the still
night hours) and somewhere, some
how, I had acquired a strong love for
nature which stood me in good stead.
l had never loved a catbird before,
had never taken pains to notice what
a Hood of rich music they pour forth
when the mood is on them. But af-
ter listening to them during those
spring months I grew into great
love for them and resent any slight
put upon them.
1 secured an old botany because l
couldn't afford the handsome new
ones. with their many-colored pic
lures showing how to know wild
flowers. Armed with this, an insult
ficient bird book, and mighty desire
to ask questions of everybody l met
I learned something Of that page OF
Gods creation which opened out be-
fore me. And that page, girls, young
women, is one that appeals to us.
Gathering light and wisdom from it
now while youth is yours, you will
never find the long summer days en-
tirely uninteresting. After you have
watched the parent birds feed their
young ones day after day, after you
have seen the wonderful care and
forethought the brave little mother
takes in order to protect her helpless
fiedgelings, you will more fully. rec
ognize that, in Gods great plan, a
deep and mighty love stirs ceaseless-
ly and that in the nurturing and ex-
pressing of that love no power ls so
great, so patient, SO marvellous, as
the mother-heart. Learning this
you may easily learn to honor your
own mother more profoundly and to
look with wider sympathy, truer in
sight, upon woman's common lot
common though divine-motherhood.

When Last Seen.

One of the good fellows of Broad
way is really a good fellow-except
that he sometimes inclines an ear to
the tempting of the demon rum, says
the New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Times-Star. When that
happens his wife sends out a hurry
call for him, claps him in Turkish
bath, and takes his stewed remains
home a day or so later full of re-
morse and echoes. The other night
he failed to appear at the domestic
hearth at his usual hour. Some time
later his wife began making queries
by telephone. Eventually she got
Maclyn Arbuckle on the wire, know
ing that gentleman to be friend OF
the periodical souse.
Have you seen Harry lately?" she
asked.
Mr.. Arbuckle assured her that he
had just parted from her spouse
Yes, Harry had been drinking a little
