ELDER WUlFF ADOPTS THE
BLUE ENVELOPE METHOD.

Presiding Elder Wulff OF Emerson's
Uaion Church does not believe in GO
ing to such ~specious lengths. lie had
read OF the blue envelope method as
employed in other institutions devoted
to the arts and literature, and he de-
cided the best way to announce to the
Rev. Pohl that he was fred was t.
leave a blue envelope on the pulpit.
He argued hat when the pastor
climbed up there to preach his Sunday
sermon he could find 1t and read his
fate.
Elder Wulff stated briefly in the ceru-
lean Inissive that Pastor Pohl was fired
for the simple reason that there wasn't
enough cash on hand TO pay his salary.
Wulf had waited for the Rev. Pohl to
resign, but as the pastor had manifested
no symptoms OF r~esigning 1t was decided
TO fire him.
Tho elderly pastor was amazed at the
nature OF the missive he picked of the
cover OF the Bible. But when he had
read the blunt notice hat ne had been
discharged he did not Immediately sus-
pend his activities. There were about
twenty-five persons n church. and the
Rev. POI delivered a sermon on the
nefarious process of blue envelopes that
should have made the inventor Of the
custom turn over in his grave. Fresid-
ing Elder Wulf was not there to listen.

In New York no woman less than twenty.one years

M'FARLAND'S FATE TO
BE DETERMINED TODAY.
Case of Alleged Wife Poisoning All
Ready for the Jury.

Newark N. j., Jan, S0.-With the
calling of only two witnesses and
without putting the accused man him.
self on the stand, the defense suddenly
rested today in the trial of Allison M.
MacFarland, the advertising agent of
an electrical company, who is charged
with the murder of his wife on Oct. IL,
1911, by the substitution of cyanide of
potassium for headache medicine. The
summing UP arguments were made and
the case will go to the jury tomorrow
after a trial of only two days.
In summing up for the stats Prose-
cutor Wilbur A. Mott was sharp with
invectives against the prisoner and
quoted freely from more than forty
letters which it was alleged MacF'aE-
land had exchanged with Florence
Bromley of Philadelphia to show that
he was enamored of his former stenog-
rapher and SO had motive for Kidding
himself of his wife. In one of the let
ters signed Bunny" the girl had writ
ten: "Our lonely journey is almost
over" and in another from MacFar-
land It was quoted that he wrote that
he intended "tO start something" the
prosecutor said he would like to have
MacFarland explain the meaning of
these letters, but declared that the
prisoner was afraid to take the stand.
Counsel for the defense. Frank M:
McDermitt, argued that MacFarland
had told his wife that he had bought
some cyanide of potassium to clean
silver with, had shown her where ne
placed it, and that Mrs. MacFarland
had plainly taken it by mistake. He
declared that MacFarlands relations
with his wife were happy and those
with the Bromley girl only friendly.
