s.PENTACOSTAL, SCENES.

Strange things are seen, strange
words are heard this week at Beulah
Park, Cleveland, Ohio where the an
nual sessions Of the Christian Mission.
airy Alliance are being held. The gift
Of tongues has been received, delegates
proclaim; the pentccost has again been
evidenced.
The great tent in which the sessions
arc held was hurriedly emptied We'd
nesday afternoon when the strange
gift was believed to have fallen to the
lot OF one of their number. Prayer
meeting was inprogress. The rcverent
intonations of the speaker Of the meet
ing suddenly we're interrupted by a
piercing scream. A man. sitting well
toward the back of the audience
sprang to his feet, one arm upralsed,
his index finger pointing towards the
sky. 1t was he who had uttered the
cry.
The assemblage was stilled. Then
the man, possessed by a religious
frenzy, broke the silence, speaking
rapidly, excitedly, his arm still point
ing heavenward.
Every eye was turned in his direc-
ton, No one understood what the
man was saying. He spoke in a
strange tongue, If tongue it was, un-
ineligible syllables finding vent in q
flow of incohcrent utterance.
It's the gift oftongues, (" the people
whispered, one to another, their gaze
fixed on the speaker. 1t has come
again. It's the gift OF tongues"
The speaker. his gaze intently fixed
apparently on space, took no heed
OF his neighbor He talked rapidly,
fiercelv, but OF what he talked and to
whom he talked none knew nor under
stood.
The side wall of the tent was hurriedly
lowered. The assembled congregation,
awe-stricken, quieted, filed out from
the place, glancing uncasily over their
shoulders rs they went. One woman
was left with the figure standing in the
tent, motionless save for the movements
of his lips. He had received the gilt
Of tongues, (" they said. He must not be
interrupted.
For Is minutes the man talked i'll q
tongue which none before had heard.
Then he collapsed, overcome by the
frenzy which had seized him.
But the gift" is not the only
significant feature of the daily pro-
gramme, for people are healed, the
delegates believe, OF all disease, no
matter what. At the close OF the stir
ring addresses Wednesday afternoon
by Rev. j. Hudson Ballard, an in
yitation was extended to all who wish
ed to be anointed with oil and healed
to retire to Il room in one corner
OF the tabernacle. About % re-
manned.
This service was conducted by
Rev. John Salmon, of Toronto,
Canada.
About 90 knecled and received the
amounting. It was IN impressive
sight. One man carried the bottle OF
oil and two others took turns in offer,
ing prayer. They assured the patients
that no matter what the disease,
whether it were tuberculosis, tumor,
nerves or any other ailment," they
could all be healed
One woman, q cripple and unable to
walk, was duly anointed, and prayers
were said for her recovery, but it was
noticeable fact that she did not get
up and walk.

CHILD KILLED
 FATHER INJURED

A very sad case of tragic death oc- cured in State Line, Berkshire County, Mass, last Sunday night, abou, two and half miles above West Stockbridge, on the Boston 6 Albany railroad. Joseph Rucos, track walker on the B. 6 A, was found lying beside the track in a badly injured conditi on, some rods north of the State Line depot. Not far dis tant was the body of his little eight year old daughter Ellen, dead. a heavy train having passed across the child's body severing it asunder.
 The little girl had gone to the railroad yard earlier in the evening to walk the tracks with her father. It is believed that they stepped from one track onto another to avoid an oncoming train and that train they did not see or hear on account of the roaring of the passing train. hit them both. The child was un- doubtedly killed instantly.
 Rucos was hurried to the Pittsfeld House of Mercy, as it was feared his in- juries were serious. The little girl was bright child and attended the pub lie schools at State Line. A wife and infant are left in very poor circum- stances.
 Rucos is Polack and has occasional spress He was very fond of the little girl and on this occasion, those who know the circumstances, say that he was drunk and that the child was lead ing him home.
 The latest story, told by railroad men, is that as freight train approached on the track beside which Rucos was walking, he gave 8 drunken luroh to one side. and i'll so doing, knocked his little daughter under the train and she was killed by his side. He was so drunk he escaped with slight cuts and few bruises.
 Although taken to the hospital it was found that after he had come out of his drunken stupor that he was able to go home, with his wife and brother-in-law, who had hurried to Pittsfeld to see him.
 The body of the child was taken to Chatham, N. Y. where medical exdmi. nation was made, and it was later sent to State Line for burial.

 RECKLESS DRIVING
Two Autos Were Wrecked and One of the Occupants Was Pinned Under the Wreckage-Both Taken to the
 Hotchkiss School Infirmary. ..".

A bad automobile accident occurred on the,long hill at Lakeville, Thursday afternoon, leading to the Hotchldss school section of the village, in which two people were quite badly hurt and both automobiles were smashed. ..f
 Mrs J. Field. St. Paul, Minn., had just been left at the Hotchkiss School by her chauffeur, George Reed, where she has son entered as a student. The chauffeur was on his return down town to dinner, in Peerless car, and had reached a turn in the road when he met 8 Pierce Arrow car, owned by O. B. Bur. roughs, Fishkill, N. T., containing seven people, MT and Mrs Burroughs, w F. Burroughs, their son, acting as chauffeur, two children and a governess. and Mrs Rankin. friend of MT and Mrs Bur roughs. .. '.... .
 In going up the hill, the. auto devs,- oped a flat tire. and as it swung around ihe curve, in front of the Field oar, it skidded across the road, and the two autos came together, the head of the Peerless, striking the Pierce-Arrow, just back of the center.
 Both autos were badly wrecked and were thrown some distance apart by the impact The machine containing the Burroughs family overturned partly. throwing Mrs Burroughs and Mrs Ran kin out, and as they struck the ground. Mrs Burroughs dress was caught by the broken axle of the heavy machine, as it fell and she was pinned to earth SO that her clothing had to be out away be- fore she could be released.

DT. Potter Interests
Unfoldsd to a Large Audience at PiI- grim Church Tuesday Night
 Some Vital Truths.

The Rev Rockwell Harmon Potter, D. D., pastor of the Center church, Hartford, addressed a goodly sized audience at Pilgrim Congregational church, Tuesday night under the auspices of the Pilgrim Brotherhood. pr Potter spoke on The Church as a Corporation. His address was masterpiece of logical, practical common sense, and gave un- bounded satisfaction. It was a treatise on the church as the corporate body of Jesus Christ. It is as much a corpora tion as the largest corporation that was eyer formed. Its charter is the bible; it's business, the teaching of the people to know God. It is the duty of this cor poration to take up the tasks that Jesus laid down and to carry out such tasks.
 As business corporations are composed of collections of individuals, chartered for some definite purpose, so the church is thus chartered. When a corporation does not live up to the provisions of it's charter, the body that gave them that charter has the power to revoke it; to take it away, and that is what God does to the church that does not live up to the provisions of it's charter. He takes away it's charter rights, and it becomes dead church. Jesus went about doing good. The church must follow his example. It was His love and compassion that wrought great results.
 A social gathering followed, at which light refreshments were served in the church parlors and the people had the pleasure of meeting, Dr Potter socially. a1d found hlm equally entertaining off the platform.

H. P. Morse Up In Arms Over His Name Appear
 ing on License
 Application.
BRANDS IT AS A
 RANK FORGERY.
Tax Collector Says He Never Saw the Paper Until Friends Called lis Attention to It and Showed The Forged Signature.

Falls Village, Sept. 2S-The temper ance people here are highly aroused over the alleged attempt of the license men to sway public opinion by using the name of tax collector H. P. Morse on the petition asking for vote on the license question. MT. Morse denounces the signature as base forgery and says he feels insulted that his name should have been subjected to such misuse.
 The license people pooh pooh the alleged forgery and say that the paper was signed by L. J. Morse md not by H. F. Morse. and that they have made no claim that H. P. Morse signed the application.
 The fact. however, remains that the name H. P. Morse appears on the paper now on file at the office of the town clerk and may be seen by any one desiring to investigate it, and there have been many investigators since the facts became known. To every appearance the pre- vious name on the list has been erased, so far as the initials, of which there are still faint lines left on the paper, and in plain bold hand appears the initials HI. P" before the name Of Morse.
 l.. J. Morse is said to admit that he signed the application, but his name does not appear on the paper. If the original Morse signature was his, who changed it and replaced the initials with those of the mo license" tax collector H. P. Morse? Such is the all absorbing question in this village to-day. Was it done in the hope of inducing others to sign or did some one in spirit of mis- chief, thinking to play practical joke on H. P. Morse, thoughtlessly erase the original initials and supply his to the paper? The outcome will be watched with interest. H. P. Morse has this to say regarding it:

Be this as it may, the barn was immediately furnace of heat and the live stock was with difficulty gotten out. The loss, estimated at about sl ,0O0, is insured in the McNel agency.

 "I find your letter of September 18th awaiting me on my return to New Haven after few days absence.
 "The most vital question which under lies your inquiries is, in substance, whether I object in principle to the creation of tribunal to hear and effec- lively pass upon complaints about rail road charges and railroad service
 If understood this question alright, I agree that it ought to receive frank aud unequivocal reply. My answer is, catergorically No; I do not. But I respectfully submit through you to the people of this State-First. That such 8 tribunal ought to have the independence, impartiality and ability which tor many years have characterized our courts of justice; and, Secondly, That such a tribunal ought not to exercise functions which are properly legislative in their nature, but ought on the other hand to decide without arbitrariness between the parties to each controversy. accord ing to justly established principles and rules of law.

 A Base Forgery.
Editor NEWS 1: Dear Sir

Editor NEWS
 Dear Sir :-
 My name attached to an application for license in this town, exhibited about town for a week or so is a base forgery. I have never signed such petition. Everybody knows hereabouts that I always vote no license and my signature to such license application was without my consent or knowledged. My atten- tion was first called to it by friends. The paper was shown me and there stood my forged signature i'll black and white, next to the last name on the first column of signatures.
 By advice of friends I delayed for a few days my repudiation of the matter that the case might be stated to the states attorney.
 The license people Monday telephoned to me stating that l was mistaken in faDcying my name was on the paper; that 1t was L. J. Morse's name.
 I saw the original paper and my name was on that paper. It was seen by sev- eral of the foremost citizens of the town and was read by them and they called my attention to 1t. l at once branded 1t a forgery and stated to them, as l now publicly state that have never signed such an application and any attempt to so present such paper as my signature, to influence others into signing 1t, here- by brand as forgery.
