FAITH CURIST ORPHANAGE. New Sect From Lincoln, Neb., Dis covered by l'hilndelphln's Coroner. The death of a 7-months-old child in Philadelphia, which was reported ta the coroner the other day, led to tin/ discovery that nine children and five adults have been living in a six room house. The adults are faith curists, and thoy do not permit the children to have medical attention when ill. At the Inquest the leader of the party said he was 11. E. Sollenberger, and he came to Philadelphia about three months ago from Moonlight, Ky. This was his first experience in what he called "a faith curist orphanage." lie said the name of the sect was the Fire Baptized Holiness association. He is styled the reverend, but admitted that he had never attended a religious sem inary and was never licensed to preach by any church, says the New York Sun. The headquarters of the sect are nt Lincoln, Neb. Sollenberger Is a tall, gaunt, fellow, stoop shouldered and with a sallow complexion and deep sunken blue eyes. He wore a long black cutaway coat and waistcoat of clerical cut. II is cap was similar to that worn by officers of the Salvation Army, and on the band of red, in black letters, was printed "Jesus Saves—Eternity—Where?" In answer to questions Sollenberger said that the "orphanage was supported by voluntary contributions." Asked why he did not have medical treatment for the child, he replied: "Because it Is against our religious principles. We are children of God and believe in the curing of disease by prayer." "What would you do if the child had a broken leg?" "Cure It myself." Yr I "You do not mean that, do you?" I "Yes, sir; I do." "This child died of neglect, did it not?" asked the coroner. "No, sir; It did not." Sollenberger re plied impressively. "God took it ftWay." Sollenberger said he believed there were branches of the organization In many large cities and that It was grow ing. The coroner has laid the matter before the County Medical society. BIRDS' PLUMES AND RIBBONS What Will lie lined Fop Fall and Winter Millinery. Birds are again to the fore, and there Is a fair demand for clipped aigret, more especially as a trimming for ca potes in combination with flowers. By providing fresh series of flowers with out interruption, suitable to each di vision of the season as it comes round, those interested in their sale hope to promote a regular demand for them all through the autumn and winter. As matters stand at present, it seems highly probable they will be successful. The reappearance on the field of ostrich and other kinds of plumage lias made no notable decrease in the sale of flowers, says The Millinery Trade Re view correspondent. If trimming un derneath brims is maintained they will certainly continue in request, as in this position flowers are as applicable to winter as to summer millinery. Wheth er or no they will be adapted to the outside ornamentation of winter hats It is impossible as yet to tell, but there Is every likelihood of their being chosen to trim some of the autumn felts. In deed, I have already come across a model here and there, the trimming of which consists entirely or in part of flowers or foliage. A soft gray felt has no other trim ming than a loose garland of large mauve orchids, and a khaki colored felt is wreathed about with russet tint ed foliage, closed on one side by a bow of scarlet velvet. These may be eccen tricities, or they may be forerunners of a coming fashion. Should the League For the Prevention of the Destruction of Birds extend its influence in the States flowers will prove as necessary a substitute for plumage as ribbons. s - TOLD OF CONGER. Hon' tlie Minister to China Obtained fi Mi.Hlonnr, 'h Iteleane, The story is told of a Chinese man darin who early learned that Edwin H. Conger, the American minister to Chi na, was not to be balked or bluffed, says tlie Chicago Record. A mission ary of the American Bible society, duly provided with passports and creden tials, was stopped by the officials and held in the military quarters ou some paltry trumped up charge. The mis sionary sent word to Minister Conger nud the minister went in person to see about it. When he learned the trivial nature of the trouble lie demanded tlie release of the missionary, saying he was an American citizen, and as such his rights must be respected. "But my orders are to hold him here," said tlie officer. "And my orders from the United States are to demand his release." "He must stay here until it suits his majesty to release him." "The United States of America de mands his immediate release," quietly rejoined Minister Conger, "and we're used to getting what we want." The missionary was given his free dom nt once. Improved Tcli-Krapby. Messrs. Pollnk mid Virng, the Invent ors of the new system of quick teleg raphy, by which one apparatus can transmit 220 words per second, or about 80,000 words an hour, have now greatly improved their invention. For merly the message received over the wire was printed in the signs of the Morse system, which required to be de ciphered by an expert and to be tran scribed, operations requiring time. Now, however, according to a Vienna dis patch to the London Mail, the message Is printed in ordinary Roman letter ing, so that any one can read tlie tele grum as It comes over. This improve ment does not diminish the speed. ! CUBANS URGE EVACUATION. Delegation Not SuttMfled With Itw Appeal to Mr. McKinley. ; Washington, Aug. 20.—The Cuban del ! ligation which called upon the president at the White House to pleud for Cuban independence is not as hopeful or as well satisfied as its members stated in an in terview after the close of the visit. Senor Cisneroß, who headed the delegation, said I in an interview: "I do not believe that we could por ! sunde the government here to leave the i island, but it was our duty to make the appeal, and we have done it. Now we I shall go back to Havana. The Cubans ■ all over the island resent the manner in | which the coming constitutional conven j tion will be held. They are indignant that the Americans should assume to dictate the Cuban constitution, which may later be defeated. I do not be , lieve that they would ever be sutisfied ■ with a constitution made under such . pressure. For my own part, were I u delegate in the convention, I would walk out of it unless the American government would withdraw its attempt to control the constitution. Time only can tell I whether a revolution against the Ameri i cans will be necessary should the present ; policy be continued. | "We shall never be satisfied with in tervention. We want the Americans to leave the island to the Cubans, who are , its rightful owners. I do not believe that they would ever voluntarily accept | annexation. They want independence, j complete and permanent. The military government now in charge is one of the i worst possible administrations. Look at ! the Neely scandal and see how the otli | cials are acting: then you can know how the Cubans feel." Shot His Father. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 20.—James M. Buriihani, publisher of The Wyinoran at Wymora, Neb., shot and killed his father, Captain Collins A. Burnhain, at their j home. A coroner's jury exonerated the. son. Both father and son were prominent political workers in the county in which they reside. The killing was in self de fense. The son gave himself up to the officers. Captain Buruliam was a cap tain in the civil war and while a congen ial man when sober he was a fiend when intoxicated. Many times he had threat ened to kill all members of his family. The father came home yesterday morn ing and made an ussault upon his son. He used a butcher knife, and after gel ting his son in a corner was in the act of plunging the knife in his body. When there was no other alternative, the son drew a revolver and fired a shot which went through Captain Burnhum's heart, l killing him instantly. In Memory of Ilnmbert. Washington, Aug. 20.—Amid scenes of Impressive solemnity and in the presence of the president of the United States, members of the cabinet, officers of tin army and navy, the embassadors and ministers of foreign countries and a great concourse of people from civil life the me morial services for the late King Hum bert I of Italy were held at St. Mat thew's Catholic church yesterday. The announcement of the services was mude by the Italian embassador. Baron Favn. and, with the co-operation of the state department, the event was given a dis tinctly official character. The foreign rep resentatives were in full diplomatic uni form, and these, with the brilliant uni forms of the British, German, Austrian and other military attaches and of the Ainericnn generals and ndiuiruls. gave a touch of brilliant coloring to the sol emu pageantry.
