V.-.JL-. .. . ;;r ;5; THE PIOUS STRANGER. <• jS ._ ?' ■ rrolonfttl the Prayer Mooting While HU " Pal Was Bobbing. The next time a st ranger attempts to relate his experience in a prayer meeting presided over by Rev. J. P. Brushingham, of the Fulton Street Methodist church, of Chicago, he will be regarded with suspicion and will probably be called upon to show his credentials or leave the house. At the last regular meeting the pastor’s entire family attended, leaving the parsonage deserted. The brothers and sisters were not in a talkative mood, and the preacher arose to dis miss the meeting, when a stranger in the rear of the room stood up and asked to be allowed to say a few words. He talked for fifteen minutes and told how precious religion was to him. During this time the good brothers and sisters were loud in their cries of . “amen," and the minister thought he had found a diamond in the rough. When a second attempt was made to dismiss the meeting, the stranger again occupied their attention for . some time. The benediction was finally pronounced. The stranger was the first person to leave, not having time to shake hands with any of the congregation. *■ When the pastor returned home he ' discovered that the place had been ' looted. Fifty dollars in money, a gold watch and chain and other arti cles of jewelry and valuables had been taken.' He reported the matter to the police and mentioned the lengthy talk of the stranger. It was learned that the pious stranger was a confederate of the thieves, whose business it was to prolong the meeting until his pals had robbed the house. ONCE FAMOUS SINGERS. ■ ■ *i Campcnlnl and Capoul Have railed From the Public Gaie. You may see on Broadway on any fine afternoon two of the world’s mo9t 1 famous tenors, men now forgotten, who sung their way into the hearts of their fellow-men as they strutted their' brief day upon the stage, re marks a writer in Frank Leslie's Weekly. Now they have passed from publie gaze as the mists melt before the rising Bun. One is Italo Campa nini and the other Victor Cnpoul. What memories their names reealli The echoes of the old sweet songs come back to us, and there are vis ions of dainty women clapping their jewelled hands together in ecstasy of delight, while men shout “Bravo, bravo!” The voices of these onee great singers have gone, and the poor fellows are toiling to make a living by instructing others. Capoul I was said to be the best stage lover ever seen in opera here. Women raved over him, and sent him their jewels and bushels of love letters. Men imitated his dress and even the out of his hair; and Nilsson, of glorious voice and memory, idolized him. Cam paninl was not so fortunate as Capoul, perhaps, in this regard, but still wo men adored him, and his voice was as “sweet as the muslo of the harper harping on his harp.” There is no applause for them now, only the pushing and jostling crowd as it Burges up Broadway at nightfall. Who was it said that sorrow’s crown of sorrows is the memory of happier days? __ AN EUROPEAN UTOPIA. A low* Whan Inrjbodr Has Work, Income «nd no Taxes. • The happiest place in Europe is said to be Kllngenberg-on-the-Main. It is ' one prosperous spot where everybody has work and an income and where * there are no taxes, either local or im perial, because the .income of the municipality suffices for everything and leaves a bonus for distribution be tides. Happy Klingenberg! It is all due to a little wisdom and foresight on the part of its local administration many years ago. There are valuable beds of fireclay in the neighborhood and these the municipality] had the prudence not to sell to make the for tunes of other people, hut retained for the benefit of the town. The pro fits pay all taxes and the inhabitants get the surplus divided among them. . Young men going into the army re ceived this year a present of fifteen marks each. . * The ordinary method of unthrifty municipalities] is to throw all their advantages away in water and gas supply, coal fields, public lands and many other etceteras, which are util ized by companies and contractors to build up colossal interests, and the taxes mount up to a dizzy aggregate eventually, all because nobody looked ahead with public spirit at the com mencement of enterprises. A Float wish. , Some years ago an old deacon in Pennsylvania was very self-willed,and on two or three occasions made end less trouble in church. After some years they got started again, but an other row soon broke out. At last the church clerk got up and said: “Breth |5. ren and sisters, I wish Deacon Jones was in hell.” The new pastor and the members were horrified, and the pas tor said: “Brother Smith, such are mark is unkind and unchristian. Why do you use such expressions about a • brother?” “Well, pastor,” he replied, “1 calculate if Deacon Jones was in hell about six months, he would bust ■' it up.” . '_ f Hard Tima*. The other day a young negro girl was met by an old negro Vroman, and the usual salutations, with by ques tions as to the health and happiness of the families wero passed. “Does you mammy take in washing?” asked the older. “Ycs'm,” replied the younger; “she been doing washin for Mr. Blank down here at Mrs. - boarding house, but he says times is too hard tc have clothes washed; and I dunno what she gwine to do now." WHAT A FIRST-CLASS BARN IS. I.evl P. Morton'* New One on HI* Rhine* beelc Farm. Ex-Vice President Morton has re stored the barn on his Uliinebeck farm, that,was burned last summer. The building is 300 feet long, sixty-., five feet wide, and where the silos are located, eighty-nine feet wide. The latest improvements have been intro duced in the building, and no expense lias been spared to make it a model burn and one of the finest in this , country. Railroad tracks for cars to carry feed run around the interior of the barn; there are blinds on every window, so arranged ns to act as awnings to ^ceep the heat out in summer. The area walls outside of the building have a six-inch blue stone coping, with an iron railing five feet h igh. The base ment is of concrete five feet thick, with a cross brick wall with chestnut sleepers to rest upon and drainage under the whole. The basement under the L, which is forty by fifty feet in size, is fitted up as a root cellar. The silos are three in number and hold 1,500 tons. The stalls in the barn are provided with fire escape fasteners, so that aAy one of them can be opened at once. Three hundred thermostats are placed in the barn to give an alarm in case of fire... They tell what part of the building is on fire and are connected with the farm house and office. ■ - The barn is lighted by incandescent lights. The latest improved machin ery is provided for grinding feed, etc., including a powerful engine. The many new inventions introduced in the construction of this barn are be ing Closely observed by experts. ON SILVER PEAK MOUNTAIN. A Cloud Spectacle Which In Its Strange ness Will Never Be Forgotten. , “1 saw a strange sight a few days ago on Silver Peak mountain,” said a traveler recently. ‘‘The mountain is about -8,000 feet high, and I had reached an altitude of 7,000 feet, where there was a depression or gulch between two cones or peaks. Eternal snow reigns there, and as far as the eye could reach the snow-tipped mountains of the Cascade range, their gulches, streams and valleys, as well as the level country could be seen. I crawled slowly over the divide and looked down the other side of the mountain. Away down below I saw a dense cloud coming swiftly up the steep and rugged side. I knew that in all probability in a few moments I would be enveloped in it and my first thought was to make for a cabin, further down the side of the mountain. But I judged from the spee'4 the cloud was being driven I would not have time to reach the cabin and I concluded to stop where I was. “On came the cloud, and when with in a few feet of where I sat it was struck by a stronger lateral current and it veered to one side, passing within six feet of me. It stood still— a great inky mass as black as the darkness of Egypt; to the right the sun was shining brightly and to the left stood a perpendicular wall of in tense blackness. It was a sight never to be forgotten. ' - Dometning she Will Outgrow* A bridal couple started out from the National hotel one morning recently to “do” the city of Washington. They first visited the depot where Garfield fell, then walked through the Botan ical gardens, and climbed Capitol hill. It was nearly noon when they passed the statue of Chief Justice John Mar shall. The sun was doing an honest day’s work, and it is safe to sa£ there were no flies on that !sun. The stal wart groom held an umbrella over his wilted but buoyant bride. They en tered the capitol, walked through the rotunda, into the marble room, and, in fact, all over the main floor of the great edifice. One of the guides asked Uroomie why he didn’t lower his um brella,' and he said: “Because I’m afraid Grade will take cold. She is very delicate.” It is possible that next winter Gracie will be hardened to this life, and be able to get out of bed before daylight, to go and gather chips and make the kitchen fire while Groomie thanks the Lord he has such a treasure. Flaying Mutlo Afai; Off. Charles H. O’Brien has invented a curious musical instrument which he has named the chimagraph. It con sists of a series of tuned bells of sev eral descriptions and sizes, stringed instruments, tuned wood pieces, steel pieces and drums, all connected by electric wires to a distant keyboard and capable of being played at almost any distance. Several instruments played in this manner he has named the harpophone. They consist of steel wires tuned and played by electric hammers. While operating this machine Mr. O'Brien has discovered that a piece of soft iron rapidly mag netized and demagnetized will pro duce a clear musical tone, which can easily be varied at the will of the operator.

H. Higgs P. M. The belie! that a Chipese Columbus was first allowed by scholars only about 50 years ago. The claim is that a Buddhist priest in the fifth century crossed the Pacific to this continent and returned, making a written re port of his discovery. The report still exists. It was translated into French in 1791 by M. de Guignes. It gave a narrative of a voyage eastward by a priest for 20,000 li, where he found a country which he named Fusang. People similar to the In dians were described, as well as American plants. The only doubt about the matter is as to the distance meant by 20,000 li. The priest may have reached only some island in the Pacific ocean. Dug Watch. The phrase “dog watch” has really nothing to do with dogs. It is a cor ruption of dodge watch—two short watches, one from four to six and the other from six to eight in the' evening introduced to dodge the routine, or prevent the same men always keeping watch at the same time.

We find a beautiful young widow of great fortune rejecting to some extent The devotion of an ardent young lover. She philosophizes over the unwisdom of marrying him, -although she loves him devotedly, and then of a sudden she literally kidnaps him by drugging bipn and carrying him away alone with her on a yacht. There life together is ideal but fatal, and it only requires the appearance of a wild little native of San Domingo to rob the widow of her cavalier. The little Cuban girl is the means of bringing the story to a tragic climax and the reader is made to see the possible despair that results from woman’s depravity and man's deceit. The story is written in a brisk and daring style, and !r accompanied by an unusually bright collection of naria’ives. poems and witticisms milled from the pages of Town Topics.
