(Fnr.ll TltE BALTIMORE STSDAY SEWS.) In some parts of the South it is the cus tom to pres. h the funeral of the deceased long after tl.e deceased ha.l been buried In fact, nearly all of tlte preacher's work , coueifts of luueral i.ian. es Sometimes a new circuit rider, to endear himself to the people, will tir.-t announce himself by de claring that he will entertain his beloved hearers with a few remarks on the life, character and death of old Anderson I.ip?- . ..nib, w ho surrendered to the demands of i the i_'ieul high sheriff of death, just forty three years ago yesterday. Then, assuming a serious expression of countenance, he hauls oil, strikes the pulpit a jolting blow and for two bonrs and a half he rants and I roars over the virtues and abilities of a man of whom he never heard until a few hours ! previously. Recently*, Simeon J. Boyle, a circoit nder of the old school, was appointed by j conference to take charge of the Black i Sulphur Springs eurcuit. He was known as a powerful agonizer, a man who could : raise the soft hair of luxurious sin into the ■ slid bristles of fear. The day alter Boyle ! had arrived in the neighborhood of his new charge, he was called upon by Viggs Baiij'. W'iggs is a well known character ot the community -a man of uutrembliiig ner.'c ,f strong ar:.;.- and an appetite that bad never been known to fail. "What can I do for you?" the preacher asked, when the visitor hud introduced himself. '•JOB' called to pa., my respeck an to u II you that efyou ever need my sarveses jes' call on me." '•Are you a preacher!" the circuit-rider asked. ••i)li. no." "Then bow t un you ever be td* any rtt±r viic to uie.' My wtuK, you know, Willi the l-.ird, and a man whose work is not directly in the Lord's work can't do me any good." "Wall, all your work in this here com munity inout not be with the Lord. You'll find some putty tough fellers 'round here, anil I 'lowed that they mout want to pull 1111' haul you about one of these times; an' ef they do, w'y you jest call on me au we'll make 'em so hot that they could stand under a peach tree and make it bloom in January. Understand?' "Oh, yes, I understand, but don't give yourself any uneasiness on mj account." "All right, but that is not ali the lmsi ness I've got with you. I 'preciate the po sition you hold as worker fur the Lord, and 1 wanter ask a favor of you."- "All right, brother." "I want you to preach the funeral of my brother Ike. Best feller you ever seen in your life—died about tin or fifteen years ago. Great, big feller, whipped old Oscar Miles once, an' Os was a power in the land, I I tell you. Now yon preach his funeral an' I'll make it all right with yon." •I will do it, brother. What was the canse of his death " "Lack of licker." "What, was he so addicted to the use ot liqu.>i that when it gave out and he couldn't gel any more be died?" "Oh, no, l.e never tins much of a hand to drink." •'Then how did lie die on account of the lack of fnjuorf" "\V y, he vt as bit by a an a ; he didn't have no lickcr he jest nachully died." "And you want me l>> preach his fu neral/" "Yea, an' you ken nil git in some power ful win k when you git down inter thW fucks of his lyin'thar sufi'erin' fur licker. You ken fetch the tears outen mighty nigh ever" eye in the house." "1 see, hut a description of his death, no matter bow vivid,will not lie quite enough. Tell me something of his life." "Wall he was the powerfullet feller in the country. Reckon be could lift more at a handspike than any man about here." • liut what were his strongest points?" "Rasslin', brother, rassliu' with tlio ketch as kelch can rule " "Hut bad he not some moral quality?" "Ob, yes. lie didn't swear 'cept when lie couldn't help hisses!." "Well. I will do the best I call. Will next Sunday do?" "Yes; suits me all right. Thar'll be a big crowd out, specially this is your fust 'peaiai.ee, an' 1 want you to paint Ike as bright as a rose." • 'Veil," said the preacher, scratching his head. "I'll do that. Your brother was a a -a popular man, Was l.c! "Popular as a ba-kct of ginger cakes at a county tail. "All right, brother. I'll l.e on band next. Sunday." The house was crowded on the following Sunday. Wiggs took a seat near the pul pit, and, taking out an immense bandker chief—it must have been the ball' of a table-cloth—made himself appear as a man of deep-seated sorrow. The now circuit rider preached a powerful sermon—be painted a palbctie picture of a man, wallowing on tbe ground, wringing bis hands and crying, in an agonizing voice: "Bicker, oh! brinn me licker or 1 will perish!" After scivices were ..\cr, Wiggs shook bands v.ith the preacher, and then, break ing down with the weight of his emotion, wheeled about and disappeared in tbe woods. On the following Saturday Wiggs called on the preacher again. "I have c>>uic, said tl.e visitor when the minister bail hukcii bauds will, him, "to tell you that not only me, but everybody, is delighted with the brother Ike sermon." "I aui highly pleased to hear it." '•Not at all. Say, I've got another favor to ask." "What is it, brother?" "I want you to preach t{n: sermon of my brother Iko next Sunday. "Why, thflt would.i't do tit all." ""Why not?" "Because I preached it la.it Sunday." "Brother, let me tell you that 1 come Iniglity nigh ruiinin' this here community. I put five of the main logs in that church you preached in last Sunday, and unless you preach Ike's funeral again next, Sun day, w'y, I'll take the logs that b'long to tne an' split 'em for fire wood. Oh, don't yon think the folks will take your part. They know tne —l.now that it won't do to fool with mo. What do you say?" "(Hi, lather than liai. any trouble, brother, I will don you Mipge.-I "Will you make it as powerful i. llie other one wa. ' "I will try," tin preacher answered. "All rifjht, but mind that you do try." 'I lie next Sunday the people weru some what surprised to b n ayollie, ,e,iuoii <ui the virtues au.l gruco* "• brother Ike, I..it no objcelioija Wci e raised. \\ lugs Was ugain deeply affected, and again with over powering emotion he disappeared in the woods. Early the following Friday morning, the ' preacher was surprised to receive another call from Wigg». •What can I do for you ihist ime, ! brother?" the minister asked. "Notbin" only to preach the funeral of i my brother Ike next Sunday." "Absurd," exclaimed the preacher. "I have set up the sermon twice au.l think that I have done my duty " "Look here, cap'n call you cap'n be cause you air abont to go iutei a war—my brother Ike has been lyin' tlmr for ten or tifteeii years with nary a funeral sermon till the other day, while lots of old fellers Ibat never done nothin' fur the country have had more fune.als than they knowd whut to do with, so I ibink it's time fur Ike to lime a chance Hear nie?" "I hear, but Ido not hearken. The fact that your brnthei ha- been neglected is no fault i f mine. There are hundreds of men that never had a funerl. but am I to l.e held responsible?" "In regard to other folks, no; iu regard to Ike, yes." "Hut 1 refuse to preach his funeral again." "All right. I'll wallow you awhile and then I II go over and take thein logs oat of the chur.h. Wanter be wallowed?"' "I don't want any trouble with you." "Then agree to preach about Ike or I'll give you the wust wallerin' a white mail ever »eed. ' "Brother—" "(join' to preach that funeral?" The visitor began to take oil bis coat. A dis tressed expression tiled upon the preacher s face. "Brother, 1 do not wish to have any trouble with you. I am a mau of peace nii.l guiilluness." "But 1 ain't," Wiggs 1. plied. 1 am a snorter frum B'ur Hollci! I aiu't the man that butted the bull offeil the bridge, but I am the man that rul the lay ..teer through the Baft ooze of the s» amp of despair. Ef you don't wanter git that coat dirty, w'y. oil with it." "Brother, at the risk of displeasing the people whom it is my duty to pleat, I will make another venture. 1 ..ill preach for you again next Sunday." On the following Sunday the people weii.* si ill further surprised at the great virtues of Biothcr Ike. hut being indulgent, made no complaint. Three days later Wiggs rode up to the preacher's house, and, see ing the minister in the yard, dismounted. "Come out here a minit." Wiggs called. "\\ hat you can possibly want with me now'?'' the preacher asked, as he climbed over the fence. "I have come on mighty distressin' busi ness. You know that you preached my brother's funeral three times'?" "Yes, and you could not possibly want me to preach it again?" "No; fur frum it. I have jest found out that Ike wa'n't nothin' but my ball' brother, and 1 don't propose to do so much fur a teller that ain't no more kin to me than that. So, brother, we'll have to fix it." "But how can we? The funerals have been preached." "I know that, an' that's why I have come. 1 want you to go to the church next Sunday au' take them sermons back. 1 ain't hayin' no half brother puffed. Thar ain't none of the half way bu. iness about me. Will you take them sermons back next Sunday?" "Such a thing would he ridiculous, my friend. I cannot comply with vour wish." "Then I'll have to waller you." "I have accommodated you three times aud now 1 beg you to go away.'' "I lowd that I'd have to waller you." "I tell you I am a mau of peace and gentleness." "Lowd that I'd have to waller jou." "Well, come on then, you trifling scoun drel." The preacher took off his coat aud huug it on the fence. Wiggs looked up aud dowu the road. The preacher rolled up his sleeves, and turning toward his house, lifted his bands and said: "Lord, Thou khowest that when I killed old Lige Moore, and Sam Tillotson, aud Calvin tireen, aud Dock Yanee, that I prayed that all such cups might forever pa.-s from me, but Thou secnt that I am compelled to de fend myself." Tbe preacher turned about. Dust was rising dosvn tbe lane. Wiggs had taken to bis heels. * ORIE I*. REAH. Sherman's: March. "Let lile r. late to you a little episode of my famous march to the sea. One day I halted with my stall'at a bouse on a large plantation aud asked the gray headed old planter sitting on the piuxza for a drink of water. He called to so in.: of his colored men then slaveß, and ordered a bucket of water, which was brought with a gourd to drink lioui. While 1 aud my officers were drinking from the gourd Ih. old planter sat and eyed us inquisitively. lie, ot course, knew that I was an officer from my dress and stuff, but .lid not know 1113" rank of office or name.

A Strange Case. Ali.-> Ida'l'ui ktr or Uv- .laun>s Ui.ran, as she call-s herstli', was arretted in Hefn er Fall?, last Tliursday, for the murder or suspected murder iif Paloier Rich, a wealthy farmer nf Chi-naiig.. Cn . N. V., a year and a half age. On O. ti.her lt», l- k> * Kich left the farm of his wi.lowi d mother, with whom he liv ed, and droit: into the little town .if X.ir wieli. to hank sereral thousand dollars in L»S1I which he had received in payment of a mortgage he held He stopped in front nf the only hotel in the place, and throw ing the reins to the hostler, t.dd him not tu stable the horse, as he would be back iu a few minutes. Kicli then started down street, and was seen to enter a little two roomed frame house, about a olock away. He was never seen again. The bouse Rich entered was rented by Mrs. Fox, a young woman whose hu.-band bad left her, it is said f«r cause. With Mrs: Fox lived her husband s cousin, Ida Tucker, a very pretty, black eyed, black haired woman of 'Si y ears. When Rich failed to return for bis horse and buggy the next snortiing his mother was communicated with, and a search for him at once instituted. A Deputy Sheriff went to tbe l''..>, bouse house, aud. show ing a photograph ot the ni i-sing man, ask ed the women il the) had lately seen tbe .in^iii..l. They b.ith declai.d tli.y had not, and a rigid search of the place failed to disc-over any tr.'ii • of Rich Suspicion still pointed to the women, the rural po lice holding the theory that Kicb h:i.l been chloroformed au.l robbed, an.l bin bod, cut to pieces. Ida Tucker bore the innuendoes of the townspeople for three weeks, but they fi nally became irksome, and she went to Utica. ben she took her trunk to tbe dep.it the mithoiitio .-earcbed it again, the motor having -prea.l that it contained tile body of the victim, but nothing was found to coufirm the suspicion. Miss Tucker left and the matter rested for two years. Last Wednesday night Sheriff Mc-fand lf*ss of Allegheny Co., received the follow ing telegram: NORWICH, X. Y. Arrest and hold Ida Tucker. 1 have warrant from Governor Heaver for her ar rest. Crime, murder. She is with James Morran, teacher of athletics, at some Cas ino Museum. Answer. W. W. Rrowx, Under Sheriff. This was supplemented by a telegram to Inspector McAleese stating that Ida Tuck er left Utica about the last of March. Superintendent O'Mara aud Detectives Shore and Robinson at once started in on the case. They found that Miss Tucker had appeared at the Casino about three weeks ago, and that James Grady, who is now performing there, had been on inti mate terms with her. Mr. Grady was aroused from his slumber in his room over Miller's restaurant, and he stated that Miss Tucker had gone to Heaver with James Morran. The officers took the 11 o'clock train for Heaver and Grady wa# taken along. Miss Tucker, or Mr 3. MOl ran, as she is known at Heaver, was found at a house on Main street, preparing dinner for her hns band, who was employed as a striker in a blacksmith shop. She was not the least surprised at the announcement of tl.e offi c. rs' errand, but calinly prepared to ac company the detective to Pittsburg. She said she had been arrested for the crime before, but 110 evidence had been produc ed lo implicate her. Her husband took the same unconcern, aud was firm in his be lief in his wife's innocence. A tier Mrs. Morran was arrested she ac knowled to Inspector McAleese that she lived with Mrs. Fox, at Norwich, and said she saw Rich drive up to the hotel the day he disappeared, but denied that he en tered the Fox house, or that she ever saw him again. She stated further that on two weeks from next Monday she and her husband were engaged lo open the season with a small ciicus in Virginia in a double club swinging act. The Sheriff of Norwich was notified of the arrest, and replied that officers armed with extradition papers would take tbe woman back, ffe does not state what ad ditional evidence has been obtained iu the past two years which has led to Mrs. Mor rau's re-arrest.

Lady Florence Dixie, who, ridiug man laxhioii. galloped all through l'alagonia, and has given the world charming sketches of her journeyiugs, has begun an earnest crusade against tbe wearing of long skirts by women for a walking costume. Sho .-peaks of the (haiigcs that have taken place iu woman's garments in the last lew years, aud then adds: "Yet still the bugbeJt skirt remains, hampering to the limbs, tbe spouse of mud and dirt, the tyrant which practically de clares that a woman's lower limbs shall be niuscleless aud weak front lifelong inac tivity." Sho does not waul woman lo adopt man's costume, because it is so ugly, but she says: "1 know my remark will be received with shouts of horror by many—of derision by a few—but I unhesitatingly declare Wl.lt I lie day is fast approaching when the hideous aud M useless long skirt will die a natural death. 1 am not an advocate of trousers for women—unless it be the zou ave pattern—for I think trousers are bid eons at any time; hideous on men. much more so on women The difference in man's appeurcucc in the kilt to what be presents when Iu trousers is very marked.

Muuy good stories iilive been told Itt the i xpetise ui' Archie Campbell the lrisli tav ern kei-per who fur many years prior to his death, im account of his odd characteris tics. Ms the most unique and conspieious figure in Keynoldsville, and among the best of these anecdotes was one frequently related hy the late Garner Wilson. It told how Jimuiy Waite, a genial and witty old Irishman from the "backwoods," assisted Archie in securing a wife. At appears that when Archie was a young man. he tame to the conclusion that he needed a wife, and having previ ously devoted all his talents to the aoijuire uient ot a few thousand dollars, he had found no time to learn the gentle art of love. Consequently he set about the task of getting a wile in a purely matter of fact, businesslike way, unmixed with tender sentiment and glorious day dreams. Al though the stars had never sh.iue through Archie's soul, uud no bright visions of an angel lonn, dwelling with him iu the "soft palaces of a fary future," evfcr haunted his mind, yet he wanted a wife. He consulted Jimuiy Waite about the matter, and Jimmy informed him that Alary Ann Kile was just the girl he want ed lie agreed to take Archie to the Kile homestead and introduce him, and assist him in his courtship. Together then they . ot. \» iiTu liny arrived at the Louse Mis. Kile invited them to come in and sit down.and Jimmy introduced their delicate mission in his characteristic stvle.

"Egad, that's so," said Archie, and they went on their way iu high faVor with them selves.—l'unxsutawney . Spirit. Bismarck on the Labor Prob lem. Iu a recent interview with a press corres pondent on the probable effect of the great May Day demonstration to take place throughout Europe on the first of May, Prince Bismarck, the great German statesmen, gave his views on the labor question. "The antagonism between labor and capital," Bismarck says, "is the result of the natural law, and iu the course of nature can never come to an end. We will never reach the situation where the laboring man will say, 'We are satisfied both fur ourselves and tor our children and for those who cntne after us.' It may be considered un axiom that the desire of the laborer to improve his condition and to get on will last as long as he sees anyone whose condition is better than his own * " In this eternal struggle between labor and capital labor has scored the most victories. Such will be the ca»« whenever the labor ing in an,has the ballot and should there e\er be a final victory it will be his. But if this struggle ever does come to an end human activity would eome t.> a dead lock and human struggles and striving conic to an end, which i< not, I think, the intention of divine providence. "Where, as iu thous ands of islands iu the southern oceans, the consequences of climate and production is food without effort, and there is no neces sity for working, men might live and be content, like sleek, good-natured animals, but in our life the strife and the struggle that accompany it produce progress and civilization by the friction of human com petition. No, this conflict of classes will never cease, and to solve it, like tryiug to solve the problem of squaring the circle, is the Utopian dream of a thousand years. The millennium is to be realized only when men become angels." Notes For Your Album. The following form for the arrangement of pictures iu the family album has been copyrighted.

How long does a >llll of elothes wearf' was the reply. It all depends upon the quality of the teeth and the person who usee them. It a woman bites thread with her artificial molars, they are likely to be ruined in a week On the other hand, I know persons who have worn the same sets for twenty years, and have never been compelled to have them repaired. Sets made of the best material and in the best manner should last a lifetime with proper care." "What is the proper care of false teethf "Both the plates and the crowns should be removed from the mouth and cleansed * every night and morning.' "Do artificial teeth decay*" "So. They are all made of porcelain, whieh is not subject to decuy as the natur al hone is. But at the same time porce lain is more brittle than bone, and hence an aitilicial tooth will not stand rrany hard knocks." ' What is the difference in the durability of high-priced and cheap tcethi" "That is a difficult question. Cheap teeth are made of a material that bears the relation to tliut of the best teeth that a common stone china plate does to a Sevres and that is al>out all that some of them are. Xow. so long as the glaze lasts the teeth are as strong as those made of the costliest material, and I have known a set costing nest to nothing to perform service for many years. They are not quite so brittle, in fact, as those made of the finest porcelain. But the chief superiority of the latter lies in their shape and in the exacti tude with which they are fitted to the gums." "What is the best sort of plate?'' "One made of gold. But black rubber is just about as durable, only it is harder to keep perfectly clean." "Are complete sets of artificial teetl: not uncommont" "Partial sets are more frequently seen, but complete sets are by no means unu sual."' '•Who wear the most false teeth —mei or women?" "Women, by long odds. I don't thinl the result is due alone to vanity, however, although that may have something to d with it. The chief reason is that the nat ural teeth of women are not as good an i strong as those of men, and. therefor • have to be more frequently replaced b_ artificial teeth." He Didn't Understand. To prevent mistakes in transmitting, tl.v grain and commission men have a well e tablished cipher in which words that a: not liable to be mistaken by the telegra; !> operator are used in the place of the qu tation figures.

He telegraphed back to ice commission firm: "So am I." A little later came a telegram: "Disgusting." By this time he was getting mad. and sent back another message. "I should say it was disgusting W uat do you nieani" Before he had fuirly got his auswer u the wires there came another message: "Disheartened." So was the Kansas man; so he wuited aud did not auswer. But when another message came in "Dishonest," he sent ■word back: "I won't dispute it, and I think you are crazy also.
