THIS CONGREGATION HAD
TO STICK FOR SERMON
A Tip to Pastors in This Tale: II
Prayer and Gospel Fail, Try
Varnish on Pews.

SARV1N CREEK, Ky, July ID
There was a perceptiblc decrease in
the attendance at the American Meth
odist Episcopal Church here, and Par
son Ebediah Freedlander follower
and his seven deacons were puzzled.
Maybe II was-yes, maybe-that the
interior decorations OF the church
were so unattractive; at any rate IL
was seven years since the auditorium
had been painted and the scrawny
pews weren't so good to the eye as
they might be.
Seven deacons and parson got
their heads together and as a result
an appropriation for painting the ros-
trum and the ceiling and walls was
made from the church building fund
The pews were vanished, too.
The sabbath found the usual small
congregation, but those who came
stuck.
1t was the varnish. They couldn't
leave.
The church closed temporarily and
tho varnish was permitted to dry.
Then the parson and his deacons
learned that II was the hot weather
affecting attendance.

BAR Will OF WIDOW
WHO DINED WITH CATS
Had Nine on Table Sometimes, Say
Witnesses-FOund Dead in Her
kitchen-Left 100000.

NEW YORK, July 13-The Su-
premc Court has handed down a de-
cision upholding a decree refusing to
admit to probate the will of Mrs.
Jane l.. Barney. octogenarian widow
WHO was found dead on the kitchen
floor of her home, in New Providence.
n. j., in 1915.
The aged woman left an estate
valued at more than 100000 and
willed practically all of it to a second
cousin, Lewis V. Ennis. cashier of
a New York bank, who had never
known his benefactor until three or
four years prior to her death.
When Ennis offered the document
for probate the other relatives of Mrs.
Barney several first and second
cousins. precipitated one of the most
hard-fought contests ever known in
the surrogate's courts.
Counsellor O'Neill established that,
although the aged widow had in a
manner been able to look after her
affairs for fifteen years prior to her
sudden death, she had been an inmate
of an insane asylum during the sew
eral years between 1871 and 1883.
Witnesses testified that while Mrs.
Barney possessed an income of $1,000
a month, she was so niggardly that
she would not buy sufficient food to
keep up ner health and strength. The
evidence showed that she lived on
about So a month for food.
Among the incidents cited by wit
nesses to show the eccentricities of
Mrs. Barney was her custom of cat
ing her meals with several cats
sometimes as many as nine on the
dining table.

"He expressed a Willingness to be

best in the country ,and lost to
them at the rate Of 62 to 16.

After As Years He Returns to
Phoenix.

Returning to the city which h,
knew in the days when it con
sisted of a few adobe huts set ir
wilderness Of cottonwoods, sun
flowers and desert, John j. Mat
ney has arrived in Phoenix tc
spend the holidays and winter in
Phoenix with his nephew, David
H. Shultz, 1850 East Van Buren,
street.
Mr.. Matney is probably the on
| ly person in Phoenix the almost
metropolitan city of today, who
knew it in the days before it had
reached the dignity of hamlet.
He was resident Of the present
city As years ago.
When Mr.. Matney lived here
what is now Phoenix consisted of
a few adobe huts and single
small ditch, almost invisible in a
sea Of cottonwoods and sunflow-
ers. The place was little Mex
lean village, with one white man
as store proprietor. Other towns
in the state were equally non-ex-
istant. Bisbee at that time con-
sisted of two tents, while what
is now Nogales boasted Of one
tent as it's sole edifice.
Mr.. Matney has the record of
having been a pioneer Of three
states, Missouri, Idaho and Ari-
zona. His present home is in
daho.-Phoenix, Arizona, Re-
publican.
The foregoing refers to our old
pioneer friend John Matney of
the Alpine section, who a few
weeks ago sold his farm here and
started on a visit to his haunts of
earlier days. That he will have
much to tell the folks here when
he returns is well indicated in |
