The first place of worship In western
Auvriralia was unique In two respects—
the materials of which It was Luilt and
also the several purposes to which It
wis devoted. This remarkable bulld-
inz was made at Perth by soldiers,
shortly after their arrival In 1539, and
was composed almost entirely of bul
rurhes. Ip addition to. its use on Sun-
days for divine worship, it occasionally
served us an amateur theater during
the week and during the whole time as
a barracks,
Oklahoma Church Habits,
While attending church at the coun-
try schoolhouse Saturday night, says
the Elk City Hecord, we noticed a man
{just before the serviced began) “load”
his pipe, take a few whiffs and ther
wilk slowly out. Another gentleman
carried a pitcher of water to the ros
trom, gallantly smoking a cigarette,
while a lady was adorned with a
“swab” protruding from her mouth
during the services,
Ancient Custom,
The drinking of healths in wine or
liquor of other kinds originated Ino
Britain at the time of the rule of the
Danes, before Alfred the Great finally
succeeded in driving them from the
land. Owing to the assassination of
Englishmen by the Danes, it became a
cugtom to enter into compacts for the
mutual preservation of health and se-
curity. These compacts were usually
piedged In wine, and hence the custom
of ¢rinking heaiths.
Breeches Left Out of Count,
A man accompanied by his wife vis-

* SYLVESTER K, K. WOLCOTT
Athens Sylvester Knapp Wol-
cott, aged 75 years, died at the
home of W. W. Wilkinson, Or
chard street, at 11 o'clock Saturday,
after a long and painful illness
from a complication of diseases.
Mr. Wolcott was born in Litchfield
township Feb. 21, 1831, and lived
there until a young man, when he
went west and remained for a few
years. He returned to Athens 22
years ago, and was engaged in the
lumber and grocery business until
four years ago, when he moved
onto a farm at North Waverly.
His health failed and he was
obliged to give up that work and
a year ago moved to Waverly,
where he has lived until a few
weeks ago, when he was brought
to the home of his brother-in-law,
W. W, Wilkinson, Orchard street,
where he died, He is survived by
his wile and one son, Earl; also
one brother, Elsworth Wolcott of
Michigan, and a sister who lives at
Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The
funeral was held this afternoon at
2 o'clock at the home of Mr, Wils
kinson, the Rev. W. A. Kelley of
the Universalist church, officiating.

Another Attempt at Murder at
the Athens Bridge Works
‘Athens—The bridge works was
tempt at murder last evening. G.
hands, went into the hammer shop
a littleibefore g o'clock last evening,
furnace at the western end, stepped
to the outside door, and leaning
his right arm against the door
casing, looked out of the backyard.
Just thea he saw a flash and the
report of a revolver, aad a bullet
came crashing through the door
way between his right side and the
door casing. He ran out through
the shop and on Main street
and raised an alarm, and soon
there was several gathered at the
shop. On examination it was found
that the bullet grazed the door
casing and passed into a plank par-
tition about six feet from where he
stood. The bullet was cut out and
secured and may be the means of
identifying the person who fired the
shot. About twenty feet from the
western doorway there is a plank
guard set up that forms a kind of
screen with a hole through the
centre. It is thought that the per-
son fired this shot from the loop-
hole and lay behind this screen to
conceal himself. Immediately on
firing the shot he ran off through
the back way. Chief Mulligan was
summoned at once, but could get
no trace of the man and no motive
appears to give any clue as to the
design of the would be assassin.
The bridge works is now getting
to be a place of deep aad horrible
mystery. N. J. Knaresboro is com~
pletely unnerved by the tragedy
surrounding the killing of Messen-
ger and has resigned his position
as night watchman. Last night's
shooting happened just as the peo-
ple were returning from church and
produced a scene of consternation
and dread among all who passed
that way,
