HATS DIVIDE CHURCH
Hereafter, Pastor Says, W~orshipers
Cannot Sit Together.

Cannot Sit Together.
Men and women can't sit together
any more at the First Methodist
Church in Bluetield, w. Va. The wom-
ems hats are to blame. The men have
to sit on one side Of the church and
the women on the other.
Rev. Mr.. Loe, the pastor, believes
that half the effect of a sermon is lost,
if the congregation fails to see the
pulpit; gestures are useless and per-
sonal magnetism has no value at all
when the auditors view of the speak
er is cut off.
Tha hats do this, SO Rev. Mr.. Loe
thinks. Women wear hats to church
to lave them looked at and admired,
reasons the minister. Men who dc go
70 church want to get the full benefit
Of the sermon, in his opinion.
You ONE who must wear big
hats, sit on II side of the church,
where O a gaze upon them to your
I'LL" he said from the pulpit. You
men who want to get the good Of this
service, sit on the other side, where
you may see the pulpit"
One woman in the congregation, who
always has boosted that her husband
never complains about what she pays
for hats, because he admires fine mill
merry. says that he is going to sit in
the millinery department at church
Sunday, just to show his loyalty to
her n his disappproval of the min.
ister's stand.

lone, by whom he was employed.
During the alteration Howe threat
ened to kill Simmons and burn all the
buildings on his place.
Simmons had him arrested. When
taken before a justice for his hearing,
Howe asked permission to step into a
back room for a few moments, for the
purpose of consulting with his attor-
ney. The door had no sooner been
closed than he made q dash for liber-
ty, but after an exciting chase was re-
captured. After hearing the evidence,
the justice gay Howe five hours to get
out of town and ordered hat he re-
main out of Trip county for a period
of six months.

Deuel. County Friends in a Move l"
Secure Him Il Pardon.

Deuel. County Friends in Il Mo'c 10
Secure Him Il Pardon.
A movement has been inallgurated
by friends in Deuel. county to secure
a pardon for Fred J. Walsh, who is
serving "a term of three years in the
Sioux Falls penitentiary for q statu-
tory offense. The case is an unusual
one. After being convicted Walsh
took ar appeal to the state supreme
court, which recently rendered a de-
cision affirming the action of the low
er court. A fine of $500 also was i'm
posed, and this Walsh paid immedl-
ately upon the decision of the SUI
preme court being announced. He
has commenced serving his term, but
his friends appear hopeful of secur-
ing a pardon for him. Soon after be-
ing originally arrested his wife Sc
cured Il divorce from him. At the
time the divorce was granted his wife
Walsh was positively forbidden by the
court to marry again, but he disre-
garded these instructions and married
the girl who was the correspondent.
Information from Deue county is to
the effect that other indictments are
pending against him in the state cir
cult court, and that if he is pardoned
he is liable to arrest on the other
charges.

GRAFT PLOT IS Barred.
fittsburg Grand Jury Files Two Pre-
sentiments.

Laying care the appalling details Of
Pittsburg's civic unrighteousness' or
derils indictments against thirty-one
present and past councilmen, and
making a demand upon the directors
of the city repositories to investigate
their W boards and ascertain the
bride givers in connection with the
ordinance designating their institu-
lions as city repositories formed the
meat of two presentments made by the
grand jury Friday. The presentments
made n sensational story of h inside
history of corruption in the municipal
bodies in 1908, and the demand made
on the banks named indicates that
even more sensational developments
than have been exposed are expected
on Monday, when the bank officials
complying with the demand of the
grand jury. make their report in
court.
A further result of the presentments
of the jury was the order of city
Controller Morrow late Friday for the
withdrawal of all, city funds from he
six banks. and the practical nullifica-
ton of the ordinance designating them
as custodians of city funds.
There is about $3.64O,000 in these
banks now, and this will be increased
many millions during the next week
by the taxes that are being paid. Ac-
cording to the controller the with
drawal of funds would be gradual, 50

Balkan at This Time.

Another dangerous crisis in the
Balkans has been narrowly, but per-

circles. where for a month it has been
an open secret that Bulgaria was de-
termined to try conclusions with Tur-
key ove the question Of Macedonia,
either to win the province outright or
at least to secure autonomy for the re-
mainder of European Turkey.
Bulgaria for years has made tre-
mendous sacrifices to equip and train
the model army which she now pos
sesses, always with the idea of the in
a BILE war with Turkey ahead Of
her. The Bulgarian people a grad

that their army Is %invincible and the
acquisition of their own independ-
ence has left them dissatisfied tina
their Christian brothers in Macedonia
should remain under the domination
OF Turkey.
They also realize that they cannot

The moment. however, was singu-

day unanimously supports the regime

of King Ferdinand and the Bulgarian
government disappeared when the
king recently visited st. Petersburg
and found that Russia refused to give
either sympathy or support to an up

Bulgaria has yielded, but as under
stood, only to see what diplomacy can
