During his lifetime Mr.. Barnum
bestowed many gifts upon the city of
Bridgeport, and there still exists here
many reminders of the famous show
man, chief among them, of course,
being the winter quarters of the cir

the members of his family have long

A RELIGION OF CHEER.
Church of Music and Merriment to
BE Built in Washington.

BE Built in Washington.
A Washington dispatch says: The
newest place of worship in Washing
ton, to be erected in a few weeks by
an incorporated group of preachers
and evangelists, will be known as the
Church of Happiness. The incorpor-
alton papers say the new church will
be known for music, merriment and
laughter.
The old hell of the old religion,
with its flaming fires, its dancing
imps in leather hides and hOofs, it's
catacombs of bones and dead hopes,
its fumes of sulphur, is a thing of
the past the papers state. 1T was
an idea adrOitly employed to fright
en- people into the church. The new
religion recognizes that crime is
Matched where there is no mirth
Depravity fourishes in the shades
of darkness. Music and merriment
will be the important elements of the
religion of the future"
The idea was first set forth by
Theodore Valiant, an evangelist, two
years ago, and since then steps have
been taken by him and Independent
preachers to unite and incorporate
and build a place of worship for all
those who wish to go there. The
movement is backed by influential
and wealthy persons, as an option
has been secured on several choice
locations in the fashionable district
for church site. The members of
the Personal Liberty League are also
actively supporting it.

Some years ago a contractor build

troubled a great deal by sickness
among the laborers.
He turned his attention at once to
their food and found that they were
getting full rations of meat and were
drinking water from a stream near by,
He issued orders to cut down the
amount of meat and to increase greatly
the quantity of Quaker Oats fed to The

mixed the thin oatmeal water with

Which He Figured.

c. ID. Thomas, the man who killed
Mauro Murietta in the White Tank
mountains last Saturday, will be TAX
en- to Buckeye today for preliminary
examination before the justice of the
peace of that precinct Attorney b. r..
Marks will appear for the defendant
and the defense will be that the kill
ing was accidental, though Thomas
would have been justified in acting in
lf-defense- at the time the shooting
occurred.
Thomas, an attempt will be made to
show, was following Murietta, who
had stolen a couple of burros from
him, and when he was overtaken he
had the animals lassooed to his horse.
Thomas called to him to stop, and
when he did not he fired, the bullet
taking effect in his heel He turned,
and as Thomas came up Murietta ad-
vanced upon him, notwithstanding the
repeated warnings of Thomas to stop.
The only eye witness of the shooting
was A. Z. Gooch, the partner of
Thomas. though other persons in the
vicinity heard the warning of Thomas
to stop. The Mexican seized the gun
barrel and in the struggle the weapon
was discharged
Thomas and Gooch went to a near

THE SH|NOlEBOWER CASE
REACHES SUPREME COURT
ON THE USUAL GROUNDS OF
APPEAL.
The Search After Witnesses Who Were
Heard of Too Late.

An appeal was filed in the supreme
court yesterday in the case of Frank
! ShindelbOwer, who is serving a gem
eral term of Imprisonment in the peni-
Tertiary for perjury in connection with
his testimony in the case against the
! Phoenix Amusement company for the
revocation of its license, early in the
year. ShindelbOWer was convicted last
May.
Shindelbower, who is a minor, had
testified in the revocation case that he
had bought a bottle of whisky at the
Casino saloon, whose business name
was the Phoenix Amusement company.
Mainly on his testimony the license of
the saloon was revoked. The story of
ShindcIbOwer was received with some
incredulity at the time and the sue
ceeding grand jury found an indict
ment against him.
In his own trial he was his worst
witness and it was on his own testi-
mony that he was convicted He in
troduced into his story couple of wit
nesses Of his deal in whisky, but they
were generally believed to be imagin
airy. They were pursued about the
that they had gone east. At the time
the sesrch for them was begun, even
their names ere not known.
After the conviction of Shindelbower
some alleged new evidence was dis
covered. A fellow named L. \ Bright
was found who said that he happened
to be in the saloon the night Shindel-
bower bought the whisky, saw him buy
it and pay for it. 1t was stated in be-
half of Bright that the reason that he
had not told this story at the time
when it would have done the most good
was that he had had some trouble with
Shindelbower and did not feel like
helping him out of the hole, but later
he had repented.
on this discovery, Judge Kent agreed
to hear Bright at the time of the hear
ing OF the motion for a new trial and
Bright was sent for. He came to town
but did not appear in court Nor had
he appeared at the offices of the attOr
ney for 'Shindelbower, according to
agreement, one of them stating that on
coming to town he had gone to attend
religious services instead. The hear
ing was continued from time to time.
Out hdS never lOuIlu DN dl u
ficer of the court.
Affidavits were filed by District At
torney Billiard and others that Bright
and Shindelbower instead of being
enemies were warm friends; that
Bright had not long before been con-
cerned in a chicken stealing case and
had been helped out of it by the testi-
mony of the ShindelbOwer family. Ii
was also shown that Bright was a fire.
quent visitor at the Shindelbower
home.
Finally, when the hunt for Bright had
been abandoned, Shindelbower was
brought into court and sentenced.
The appeal is taken on the usual
grounds of error and the failure of the
testimony to prove the guilt of the de-
PENDANT. On this point, Judge Kent in
passing sentence, remarked that no one
could have heard the testimony with
out gaining a convincing impression of
the guilt of the defendant

LAURA JEAN LIBBEY
IN VAUDEVILLE.

The truly sentimental heart will go
out to Laura Jean Libbey who has ap-
peared in a roof garden in New York,
and who has been received with ridi-
cule by the feminine portion of her
audience.
We. are not prepared to align our
selves with Miss Libbey in her con-
ceptions of art. We have long believed
that she set her standards too low, in
turning out the 999 novels which have
been published over or under her
name.
Nevertheless we have shared with
the rest Of the novel loving world
which includes all really sentimental
persons-the joy of glancing at her til
ties in the Fireside Companion, and
watching the wonderful growth of that
pyramid of titles which came just I'M
der the new title; preceded by the
words, by the author Of
We have never read" Miss Libbey,
because we despaired of ever catch
ing up with her. We preferred those
humdrum writers who turned out only
score of books at best. and with
whom one might hope to get on fairly
intimate terms.
But we have looked at the pictures
accompanying the Libbey novels. and
instance: HE paused in his stroll
through the shrubbery and there, less
than a dozen PAGES from him, he be-

held the most beautiful girl he had
ever seen"
The illustrations nave not always
come up to the underline, but we have
permitted our Imagination to do the
rest.
However, we know that Laura Jean
Libbey wrote of love of the Oldfash-
toned kind, and when she appeared on
the stage in New York and gave her
monologue on love, we feel sure it was
a cruel thing on the part of the wom-
en- in her audience to laugh at her.
And we will answer for it that what
Miss Libbey said was as right as right
could be. of course she expressed the
views Of her own herOines-a bewild-
eringly beautiful lot without rats or
hobble skirts, who saw a church social
at one end of a romance, and house
full of babies at the other.
1t was to be expected that the roof
garden women of New York would
laugh at such a conception of romance;
but does any rightminded person doubt
that Miss Libbey was on sound and
commendable ground? - st. Louis
