SPEECH AT FUNERAL J!
OF ALLEGED VICTIM
Interesting Testimony at Trial OF Felix
BuchanoWski and Mrs. SaleWiski
or Murder Charge.
Especial to The Reformer.)
KFFNF, n. H.. June >

* EF,NF,. n. H., June 30.
In the superior court yesterday fur
Their testimony was taken in the case of
Felix Bnehanowski and Mrs. Dominica
SalewisIli of Winchester, charged with
the murder of Frank Salewislli. Sew
eraI Polish residents of Winchester
were called by the state. Mary Royal
sky stated that she has seen Felix go
into the Salewiski house many times a
day. It appeared as if he went once
every two minutes.
Canstanti Pieehalesl1i, a boarder at
the Saiewiski house, said he saw Felix
at the SalewisEi house every day, some
times staying two hours. While Frank
was Ill he saw Felix coming into the
house between and 6 clock in the
morning. The witness ate supper at
the Salewislli house the night Frank
| was taken i'll. He said the little girl
ate meat from her father s plate. He
said few minutes after supper Frank
complained of pain in his stomach and
vomited during the night. He stated
that when Frank would call his wife.
she would come if alone, but if Felix
was with her, she would send the lit
tie girl. He saw Felix coming from the
bedroom one Sunday morning with his
arms about Mrs. Salewiski and NaryaT
lIaszczeska, and that he would kiss
them. He heard Mrs. Salewiski say {
number of times that she would bC

CATS HOME IN CHURCH ORGAN
Animal Stayed There for Week and
Made Some Problem for the
Authorities.

Giggling, smiles and evidences OF
unusual good humor in the congrega-
ton in Second Reformed church were
explained after the service. A full
grown cat was in the pipe organ. The
organist and janitor couldn't get it
out Everybody in church knew 1t.
The music was softer than usual and
quite subdued. There was a reason.
The cat had walked all over the ap-
paratus governing one of the three
manuals and put it out Of commission.
For full week the cat was in the
mechanism. After being found in a
bed it made in the altar cloths, it fed
to the organ. It could not be smoked
out, shot at, or otherwise forced out,
| because of suspicion that litter OF
| kittens might be inside the organ and
might die and decay in the fnstru-
| ment
Finally Janitor John Otto and Or
ganist William s. Hollenbach con
trived a trap with meat, string and
stick. When the animal seized the
meat the fall. of the stick aroused the
janitor. He caught the animal only
! after stunning it with hymn book.
The organ must be taken apart Il
get the damaged keyboard into serv
ice again.-Reading (Pa) Dispatch Il

Hint TO Golfers.

If there is one part of the game
more than another that is likely to
try the golfers patience to the ut
most Ii is putting. When we con-
slider that half of the game of golf
is on the putting green, is not this
a good reason why we should be pro-
ficient at it? But how are we to over
come this weakness on the green's?
The only real sound theory that is
known for putting is to swing your
putter on dead straight line
through the ball toward the hole. You
can practice this method by putting
the end of the putter head close up to
a wall and practice swinging your
putter back and forth; pendulum
movement is best, keeping the end OF
| the putter close to the wall. Try il
and see If it does not help your holine
/ out-Outing.

knotty Point for Jurors.

Mayor William Riddle of Atlantic
City ordered a stained-gIass memorial
window at cost of 500. The win
dow was to display the figure of st.
Peter The firm completed it, and
now the mayor refuses to pay the
price. suit to collect has been in
situated. and the mayors defense is
that the figure of the apostle is not
good likeness. His halo and his keys
are recognizable, but the mayor re-
fuses to believe the features are those
of the saint. 1t is a knotty problem for
the court. Classical art represents
St Peter as a middle-aged gentleman
with rather abundant beard; but clas-
steal art may be wrong. There are no
photographs of the apostle extant. and
we are not aware that he ever sat to
a portrait painter. Mayor Riddle may
have his own conception of what Peter
| looked like, but he will find it mighty
| hard to prove that it is any nearer
actuality than the image on the
| stained-glass window.-Chicago Post.

CHANCE FOR THE INVENTOR

gave quick glance upward. Dan

MANDATORY RAISE
NOT FORTHCOMING
Two Clerks in BrattIeboro Postofice
Will Have to Wait for Passage of
Appropriation Bill.

Letter carriers and clerks entitled by
mandatory law to raises in salaries
will not receive their increases due at
the beginning of the fiscal year by req
son of the failure of the Sixty-third
Congress to pass the postoffice appro-
priation bill. Two clerks in the Brat
tleboro postoffice service who have been
figuring on getting higher pay and
have planned already how to spend it
are taking the matter philosophically
because they are satisfied that what
ever amount is withheld from them
will come othem in lump sum after
Congress shall have an opportunity to
pass a defvieney bill. Thrifty ones ar
que that it's just like putting money
| in the bank.
Washington postal authorities have
notified postmasters to make no fur
| ther recommendations for increases in
| salaries on account of lack of funds
| and the men who had been looking for
ward to increases will have to plan tt
| get along on their present incomes anC
| trust to further congressional actor
| for settlement of Uncle Sans obliga
| tons to them.
| Under an act of Congress approved
/ March 2, 1907, the salaries of lette
| carriers and clerks were standardized
| The act provides that their salarie
i shall be increased from $500 to 500
after the first year, from 5000 t
$1,000 after the second year, and iron
81, 900 to $1,100 after the third year
Increases from 1000 to $1,000 afte
the fourth year depend upon recon
mendations by the postmasters as to tn
efficiency Of the men and the appropr
ations made by Congress to cover tn
increases. Some years so per cent an
other years IS per cent of the men o
the lists entitled to increases have bee
provided for by the appropriations.
When the postoffice appropriate
bill failed of passage at the last Sc
sion Congress adopted a resolution il
troduced by Representative Fitzge
aid, chairman of the house committe
on appropriations, continuing the 191
1915 appropriations.
