AS TO WORRIES.

One or the other. That is worrys way.

Turbotvillc, Pa, Nov 22.-Before
settling snugly for the night Miss
Grace Derr, for years, nightly looked
under the bed for a man. Not that
she expected to find one there, but
Just because she hated to get under
the covers without taxing the CUSTOM
airy precaution.
Last night, after DOMINIC her nigh
tie, she followed her custom and took
nonchalant glance under the bed.
Then she screamed and tainted. The
long-expecte1. unwelcome visitor was
there. He sprang out and disappear
ed through window, but the screams
brought neighbours and Albert Shade
was arrested.
He admitted his guilt and said he
forced a rear door while Miss Derr
was away. Miss Deer's mother IS out

PASTOR AT CHURCH BAR.
Unfrocked Until Trial for Wedding
Miss Kelly and Davis.

Philadelphia, Nov. 22.- For the
part he played in the marriage last
week Of Miss Eugene Kelly, the New
York heiress, and Al Davis, dancer
and erstwhile habitue Of Broadway
cabarets, the Rev. Henry Carr, of Elk
Mills. 5 miles from Elkston, Maryland
Greta Green, has been temporarily
unfrocked as minister OF the Re-
organized Church of Jesus Christ,
Latter Day Saints, pending an &C.
clesiastical trial.
When details of how Miss Kelly and
Davis had outwitted the young wo-
mans mother and were married al
most before the ink on the first Mrs.
Davis decree of divorce was dry be-
came down, hurried conference of
ministers of the Recognized Church,
was called. at the home of the Rev.
Ephraim Squires, the presiding elder,
in Brooklyn, Saturday night.
There Mr.. Carr was summoned and
in the presence of his brother minis
tiers he declared that he had been mis-
led by Davis and would in no circun-
stances have married them had he
known their identity.
"Miss Kelly and Davis were mar
ried under false pretenses, and | have
the documents to prove it," said Mr..
Carr.
The decision of the presiding elder
in temporarily unfrocking Carr met
with the favor of the Elkton minister,
who is anxious to clear himself. The
trial will probably be held in this
city before the Re-. Homer T. Crit
fths, of Columbus, Ohio.

DRAWING
THE LINE

The Stonemen, benevolent organ
izaBion Of Philadelphia, is said to
have a membership Of 100000, chiefly
working people. The Ministerial IN
ion Of that city has announced form
ally It's official disapprobation of the
society, because its ritual follows
closely the forms of the administra-
of the rite of confirmation in the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church, The Epls-
copalians do not object. The other
Protestant determinations do. The
Richmond Journal says it would be
interesting to know why. The Epis-
copal> Church is Christian Church
and a Protestant church. But, follow
ing the action of the Ministerial I'm
ion to its logical conclusion, we must
assume that the members of that or
ganization would prefer to have the
people outside of any church or re-
lieious influence rather than to see
them Episeopalians or accepting IN
any way the Episcopal ritual. Where
is the sense in this?
The best thought of the country has
outgrown UNCONVENTIONAL lines. 1t
concentrates itself on means to try
to make men better and happier, to
give them faith and hope and charity,
to provide comfort for them against
the sorrows and trials of this life and
belief in a far better and sweeter
life to come after death, all regard
less of UNCONVENTIONAL OF church
names or forms or points of doctrine
It is astonishing to find clergymen in
an intelligeny community like that
of Philadelphia apparently arraying
themselves in organized opposition
against this most desirable tendency
of the times.

the Governor has the right at all
times to grant pardons to any and
all persons convicted in the State
courts. In 1904 the Legislature I'M
dertook to vest the board OF direc-
tors with the power TO pass on all
applications for release. This appear
ed to cut the Governor out. Applica-
ton was made recently to the Govern
or for a pardon, and the matter was
sent to the Attorney General for an
opinion, Mr.. Pollard holds that the
act of the Legislature is void, OF no

to vest the board Of the association
with power in such matters, to the
exclusion of the Governor, lis an un-
warranted attempt on the part OF
