MT. Sullivan sailed from New Y orll last July for Liverpool with his wife and son, saying he was going to limerick, Ireland, to visit his mother. He said he expected to be back in New York by September 1.
 Shortly before he sailed MT. Sul- livan was virtually asked to resign his post as minister to the DOmini- can Republic, as the result of an in vestigatiOn conducted by a cOmms sion headed by Senator Phelan of California. It was understood the re- port cenSured MT. Sullivan for indis- cretion in the conduct of his office though praising him for certain re- forms he put into effect. Testimony taken during tthe investigation in Domingo was to the effect that the minister was entrusted in contracts in which other Americans were con- cerned. On July 23 it was announced MT. Sullivan had resigned.
 MT. Sullivan was born in Killarney, Ireland in 1873 and came to the United States in childhood. He is well known in Connecticut, where he worked as a newspaper man for years before entering the Yale law school. After his graduation he practised law in Connecticut for several years, and later went to New Ork to follow his profession.
 Washington, May 4-James M. Sul- liVan's career as American minister to the Dominican Republic was brief and sensational, and ended in his resig- nation under charges which a com mission appointed by the state depart ment headed by Senator Phelan ln- vestigated and found he had been guilty of indiscretions which unfitted him for his place. The charges con- cerned Sullivan's alleged participation in contracts on the island but no eVi- dence was found that he had prOfited.
 Sullivan had been a lawyer for Jack Rose, one of the gamblers in the Rosenthal murder case. His 3D. pOintment generally was credited to former Secretary Bryan, who in look ing for a place for him, wrote Re ceiver General Nick in the Dominican Republic asking What positions you have at your disposal with which to reward deserving democrats.' Sec retary Tumulty disclaimed respOnsibil- ity for Sullivan's appointment and told the Investigating committee he acted simply as the medium transmitting Sullivan's endorsements.
 Sullivan was eXonerated once by Secretary Bryan but tho charges against him would not down and a second investigation resulted in his resignation. When he leff office Sul- livan said he was going to Ireland for a vacation. The new of his arrest for alleged complicity in the Dubhn up- rising was the first news of nln slnce he left the diplomatic serVlc". FoE- mer Gov. Fort of New Jersey who conducted the first Investigation, de- clared Sullivan was blS-hearted, good natured, honest 1rishman.'

Pure White Colt.

Horsemen tell us that white colt
is something unknown in nature, but
all natural laws were set at naught
Monday night by small brown half
breed Shetland pony mare owned by
A. B. Guyton, when she foaled per-
fectly white colt, with the exception
of small brown tip on each ear. The
little mare was sired few years ago
by the small Shetland pony owned by
the late N. B. Mcfarland, and which
was for long time the pet of all the
small children in Butler.
The colt foaled Monday night was
sired by small white stallion owned
by Mr.. Guyton. A large number Of
people have called at the Guyton
barn to see the white colt. The moth
err seems to be particularly proud Of
her offspring and constantly fondles
and caresseS it.
Scratch your head now and see if
you can ever remember having seen
perfectly white colt. They are ex-
ceedingly rare, and it is said that the
late P. r. Barnum once offered for
tune for one to place with his many
other natural, curiosities.-Bu

The reception rendered to the new
members last Thursday evening was
largely attended by the congregation.
The greetings from the various de-
partments of the church were practi-
cal and were in keeping with the
supreme mission for which the
church was founded. The refresh
ments served and the social hour
that followed were appreciated by all
present. May we have many more
such gatherings during the year.

Load of Wool Brings $S57.67.

Grant Mccullough, the wool king
of RinggoId county, paid to Clayton
Chandler last Monday the above sum
for only one load OF wool taken from
the backs of the thoroughbred Shrop-
shires at the Glover Hill stock Farm.
We say taken from their backs, we
beg your pardon, we guess when they
shear a thoroughbred "Shrop they
get wool from all over him, toe nails
included. Let this be as it may,
Clayton Chandler brought in the
wool and Grant paid him the money.
1t looks like the sneep business in
this country has some future, and
especially The we'll bred sheep. We
did not learn how many sheep had to
be sheared to get this much wool,
but we'll venture the guess that each
one of those thoroughbreds will net
nice little profit for their owner in
wool alone.-kellerton Globe.

there will be 80 minutes of Bible
reading and study after which we
will close with 5 minutes of gospel
invitation and the consideration of
some special interests.
The Lords Table is especially vital
to the life Of the Christian. Let us
not forget the assembling of our
selves together as the custom OF
some is. Because of this there is
many times backsliding, soulsickness
and even spiritual death. If no 9TH
er church has claims upon you we ex-
tend you a hearty invit; ton. In the
spirit of fraternity we urge all to
attend their respective services and
give their pastors the heartiest of CO.

We are all pretty we'll over the
stress of the revival campaign and it
is time we are getting into the regu-
lar routine of the services of the
church. I, myself with the members
of the church have felt the pull of
the relaxation of the high pressure
of the campaign, but we cannot af-
ford to remain long in this condi-
ton.
The various activities of the
church are demanding the best that
is in us. This is especially true of
the coming of the summer season
and the temptations attendant. The
Biole school is the best that it has
been for some time, but there is still
more to do. Our standard is every
member of the church in the Bible
school and as many more.
