will result In more equality to all

That the assessors too often rely on
the word of the owner Of the personal

In Self-AdmInIstered Baptism.

Philadelphia, Pa--Insisting that she
must be baptized in her own way, q
woman who gave the name of Mrs
Sophie Plum. came near drowning in
the presence of at least 1000 spec
tators on the Delaware river banks

fore that there would be a baptism In
the river. But there was some hitch
in the program. Mrs. Plum was anx-
ious for the ceremony, but she insist
ed that she must be immersed seven
times in accord with her conceived
notions of biblical Injunction.
Pastor Pickersgill said he could
find no authority for such a ceremony,
and when he appeared before the
crowd on the shore he announced that
the ceremony would not take place.
He had helped plant the cross in the
sand with rocks about it's base, when
the tide was low. Just as Mrs. Plum
desired, but there would be no cere-
mony.
