Oil City, Pa. AS TO MRS. STETSON. Director of Mother Church Would Welcoms Attempt to Question Their Power. i New York. Dec. 20. Eugene R. Coi of the Christian Science publication committee In New York said that h had not heard of any Insurgent activ Itles on the part of Mrs. Stetson slnci Mrs. Eddy's death. "I will say tint I do not believe that tin directors of the Mother churct would be at all alarmed If Mra. Stet son should make an attempt to quen tion their newer," said Mr. Cox. "'. think that they would welcome the op portiinlty to have that matter settle between themselves and Mrs. Stetsor once and for all time." Mrs. Stetson could not be seen a her home, 7 West 96th streeet. Reported Activity of Mrs. Stetson. Boston, pec. 20. The directors cl the Mother church of Christ,. Scientist here have reason to be'ieve that Mrs Augusta K. Stetson, the ex-commual cnted leader of the First Church lr New York, is to be the first to tes' their power as spiritual and tempore, leaders of the Christian Sctencf thurch. Mrs. Stetson has recently circulated letters r.nd literature designed t prove that she is the spiritual aucces sor to Mrs. Eddy's dictatorship anc tho only one capable of construct "science and health" according to the precepts established by Mrs. Eddy. ELOPERS ARE 93 AND 65 Bride Prompts Partially Deaf Bride groom at Ceremony. Chicago, Dec. 20.

"I want a home and a companion,' Raid Reilly, "and I guess tho womar who wants to bo my bilde Is about at good as any; aren't you, Ma'j T" The bridegrcom Is hard of hearlnt and experienced trouble during th ceremony. "Do you take this woman to be you! lawful and wedded wife?" he wai asked. "Hey?" he q toiled. The question war. again asked hln and for a second time ho failed tc hear It, but this time his bluahiiif sweetheart went to his rescue am managed to tell him to answer "I do."

One would liurdly consider the New York Stock Kxclniiixc exactly In the light of "n communion of saints." In deed, to Jude Uy much that appears In the dally paKr4 and the niuck raking magazines, this might be the Inst place to look for the very soul uud spirit of Integrity. Hut there it is "In the midst of tlicin." Between members of that marble mansion of trade in securities on New York's famous Broad street uo paper writing pn.es certifying to the binding obligation of a transaction. In the very fiercest rush and maddest vor tex of the wild corner u word, a nod, the merest sign, amply sufficed. What ever It may lend to Irreparable loss, ruin, bankruptcy, no matter tho deal Is closed. I am not professing to be nn apologist for whatever crimes uiny be committed In the inline of honor. 1 simply record the fact, to be easily verified, that the dealings on that ex change are "on honor." The Corinthian fairness of its pillared and eutabhitured front Is. not shamed by the constant and consistent uprightness of the traf fic within. Christian Register. A Tragedy In Writing. Illegibly handwriting, which has giv en rise to so uiauy comedies, led to a tragedy In the case of Bacher. a musical enthusiast of the last century who devoted several years to the com position of a history of Viennese mu sic. His task finished, he submitted the manuscript to the Austrian im perial academy, which he had been led to believe would defray the cost of Its publication. After three months bis manuscript was returned. V Despite their best efforts the members bad been unable to decipher It. Bacber then pudeavored to have bis work copied, but every professional copyist who undertook the tUHk had to confess himself bnllled. lie thereupon at tempted dictating the work, only to find that even be could not decipher it, and, benrtbroken at the discovery that his years of toll had proved fruit less, he attempted suicide and finished bis days ill u lunatic asylum. BASHFUL STANLEY. '-Hit Response to a Speech of Eulogy at a Banquet. William II. Uideinj tells In Mo Clure's Magazine of a dinner of the Papyrus club In Boston at which Hen ry M. Stanley, the' explorer, waa the guest of honor: "Whether lie (Stanley) sat or stood, be fidgeted and nnswered lu monosyl lables not becaij.se ho wnsMunraiable or unnppreclatlve. but bec;1T iie this man of Iron. Clod's InstruiiVut, whos word In tho field brooked no contradic tion or evasion, be- who defied obsta cles and danger and pierced the heart of darkness was bashful eveu lu the company of fellow craftsmen. "Ills embarrassment grew when aft er dinner the chairman eulogized him to the audience. He squirmed and averted his face as cheer after cheer cou tinned the speaker's rhetorical ebul lience of praise. 'Gentlemen, I intro duce to you Mr. Stanley, who,' etc. The hero stood up slowly, palufully, reluctantly, and, with n gesture of dep recation, fumbled In first one and then another of his pockets without finding what he sought. "It was supposed that be was look ing for bis notes, and more applause took the edge off the delay. Ills mouth ' twitched without speech for another awkward minute before, witb a more erect beating, he produced the object of bis search. and put It on his head. It was not paper, but a rag of a cap, and with' that on he faced the com pany as one who by the act bad done nil that could be expected of him and made further acknowledgment of the honors be hud received superfluous. It wns a cap that Livingstone had worn and that Livingstone bad given him." ISLAND COMES AND GOES. Rites In August and Disappears Regu larly In February. One of Michigan's unsolved myste ries is the Island that every summer comes to the surface of Lake Orion and every winter goes back again to tho depths from whence it arose. Its periods of appearance and dis appearance are nearly regular. It comes to the surface about the mlddlo of August aud goes down agalu about Feb. 10. What causes it to act thus strangely is a conundrum that none has been able to solve, but to keep- It above water cr compel It to remain lu the depths have been alike without re sults. On one occasion a number of farm ers aud teamsters resolved to put the Island out of moving business. In their efforts to do so they hauled many loads of stone and deposited them on It during the early part of winter, be lieving that when Jt went down in Februnry It would go down for good, weighted ns It was with the stones. But the following August saw it bob up serenely from below minus Its load of stones. ' At another time an effort was made to kec-p It ou the surface, and It was chained to the surrounding country with heavy log chains. When Its time for departure came It departed, and the log chains departed with it The log chains were never recovered. . The island Is composed of soft mud and rushes, and there nre some skep tical souls who attribute Its formation and appearance and disappearance to tho gathering of vegetation In one spot by tho currcuts of the lake aud Us sub sequent decay. Boston Herald. Just Like a Woman. A Boston physician was describing a week's drive that he took last full through some of the most picturesque districts of New ICuglaud.
