IStreet I,oafer Has
Very Narrow Escape

If stony stare could kill then
there would be enc man less in Fair.
mont as a certain well dressed irate
Fairmont woman had murder in her
heart today when street loafer came
very nearly running a handsome top
coat by splitting q mouthful Of tobac.
co juice which had she not lodged
would have landed directly down the
front Of the costly garment.
This incident calls to mind that the
people are not needing the ordinance
which forbids splitting on the sidewalks
or crossings Of the city. Police offices
have been instructed by Mayor Bowen
to arrest any offenders splitting on
sidewalks or crossings and some Of
these days some of the offenders are
going to be caught mapping and end
in the mayors court and perhaps
cough up fat fine.

dominant feature of an old fashioned
"Exeriepnce meeting" held yesterday
afternoon at the church This meet
ing had been advertised as mass
meeting and Its purpose was not
known until Rev. Goodwin announced
that there would be no special speak
ing but that everybody would be given
an opportunity OF saying briefly what
they had gotten from the meetings to
relate their christian experience or to
testify towhat the Christian life had
meant to them. Scarcely had the In
vitation been given than men and
women, old and young, sprang to their
feet one at time, two at a time and
several times three stood at once
soaking together. Many interesting
and touching testimonials as TO the
saving grace Of God were given by
men and women and one especially
impressive testimonial was given by
woman in the rear OF the auditorium
who stated that the saving grace of
God had brought her out OF the dark
ness of Christian Science and that il IL
could bring a soul out Of this deep
darkness it could have to the utter
most.
The meeting literally was a love
feast and when the hour had been TAX
en- up and gone over for half the time.
Rev. Goodwin announced that he would
be forced to bring the meeting to a
close and asked oil that hadn't testi-
fled in words to do. so by standing and
| practically the entire congregation
rose to its feet.
Many OF those who testified spoke
particularly of the unity of spirit and
purpose which seemed to permeate the
meetings and to exist among the affil.
lated clergymen and the concensus of
opinion seems to be that this spirit
manifested 80 strongly will do much
toward making the meetings grand
success.
The singing at this service under
the direction Of Prof. Heaton was a
feature and for a half an hour the au-
dience and choir We'd for favor. The

"The Riches Of Value Untold" The

protest they were obliged to resopnd
