About three weeks ago a report gained circulation that Rev. Bennett, of Lans ford, was enamored of a prominent young woman of his congregation. When the story came to his ears he be came greatly depressed. As time wore on the tongues of the gossipers began to wag freely, and finally there was talk of deposing him. This so preyed upon his mind that he became morose and began to act strangely. On Monday night of last week a broth er clergyman, noticing his depress ed condition, endeavored to comfort him. For a while Rev. Bennett listened to Ids words, then he exclaimed wildly: "Do you know what they are doing? They are driving me mad." Tuesday morning he left home, osten sibly to go to the Methodist Episcopal conference, in session at Columbia. The followingday Mrs. Bennett received a letter from her husband, who was then in Harrisburg. From it the wo man managed to gather that her hus band intended to take his life. Acting upon the advice of her friends, Mrs. Bennett left for Harrisburg on Wednes day evening, accompanied by Postmaster Tanner and Rev. E. Evans. Upon reaching that city the two men made a search for the clergyman and found that ho had registered at the Ho tel Bolton. The clerk stated that tho man had aeted very strangely; that he had left the hotel in tiie afternoon, and that nothing had since been seen of him. They reported the matter to the police and the missing man was traced to a bridge spanning the Susquehanna river. Here at the river's side the trail ended. Afl efforts to find any trace of him since have failed. The Antiquity of the Ornan. The organ is the most magnificent and comprehensive of all musical in struments. While the pipes of Pan, aside from that mythical personage, indicate a very ancient use of pipes as a means of producing musical sounds, the "water organ of the ancients" fur nishes to the student of organ history the first tangible clew regarding the re mote evolution of the instrument. In the second century the inagripha, an organ of ten pipes with a crude key board, is said to have existed, but ac counts of this instrument are involved in much obscurity. It is averred that an organ, tho gift of Constantino, was in the possession of King Pepin of France in 757, but Aldhelm, a monk, makes mention of an organ with "gilt pipes" as far back as the year 700. Tho TurquoiNe. The turquoise, although not credited with either remedial or protective prop erties, so far as disease was concerned, was nevertheless regarded as a kind of sympathetic indicator, the intensity of its color being supposed to fluctuate with the health of the wearer. The latter, however, by virtue of the stone he carried, could, it was said, fall from any height with impunity. The Marquis of Vilena's fool, however, was somewhat nearer the truth when he reversed the popular superstition in his assertion that tho wearer of a tur quoise might fall from the top of a high tower and be dashed to pieces without breaking the stone. Geiieflf* of tin* Horselioe. It is known that the boot's of bdrses were protected by boots of leather at a very early period in the world's history —at a time which at least antedates Pliny and Aristotle, both of whom make mention of the fact. These leath er boots were sometimes studded with metal nails, but more usually worn without extra trimming, the cheapness of that commodity making it possible for the owner of the steed to "reboot" him at any time.

WASHINGTON LETTER [Special Correspondence.] The risibilities of curators and guards of the National museum were excited to a high pitch the other day over the appearance of about the must spectacular individual that the institu tion had seeu in years. lie was a Pa pago Indian, and a wealthy one at that, from Phenix, Ariz., and it was evident that he imagined lie was put ting on an immense amount of style. At all events, he succeeded iu attract ing attention wherever lie went. | To begin with, he wore a plug hat | over a mat of long hair neatly plaited down his back and wrapped with I strips of bright green and tiaming red tiannel. lie wore a standing collar and a "boiled shirt," with a red tie. Over | : this lie wore a beaded buckskin vest, ' ! the beaded designs taking the form of ' American and Mexican flags, flowers and other objects. Over the vest he wore a plum colored sack coat and a fawn colored box overcoat. The trou- I sers that he wore were of the most vo- I ciferous type of English checks, and the concluding feature of this remark ' able costume was a pair of patent i leather shoes. lie wore earrings, sported a fantastic watch chain that looked more like a I hawser of an ocean greyhound and j smoked a cigar of the quality warrant ; ed to kill at forty rods. In addition to I all this he carried a beaded cane. Mnwou on Executive Senslon*. Senator Mason has written an article ; about "The Farce of Executive Ses sions." After telling of his awe of ex ; ecutive sessions when he was a repre | sentative he describes his first closed 1 session after he became a senator: I "A senator from New England arose and solemnly and earnestly moved that we go into executive session. The bells all over the senate end of the capitol rang and made music to my ears. The chief page clapped his hands three times, and the pages all rushed from our sacred presence. Amid the ringing of bells and rushing of feet the people were all moved out, the doors were closed, and we were alone. "Thereupon the senator who had moved the executive session struck a match in the usual way and lit a cigar, audibly informing his neighbor that it was the only one he had. He then moved that John Smith be conlirmed | in his seven hundred dollar postollice in Podunk. The vice president of the United States said, 'Without objection it is so ordered.' A motion to adjourn was carried. In one moment my dream was broken." HUH Entree to Great Llbrnrlen. Mr. Samuel 1). Hicks, a wholesale to bacco dealer of Washington, is one among a few men of this city who are members in full and complete standing of the four great libraries of the world —namely, the British Museum library, the Bibllotheque Nationale of Paris, the German National library of Berlin ! and our own Congressional library, j Mr. Hicks is a lirst cousin of Sir Mi chael Hicks-Beach, one of the British peers. Mr. Hicks' father, a younger I son, who did not succeed to the titles and estates of the house of Hicks, came to Virginia soon after the war of 1812, and his son, Samuel D. Hicks, was born in Hichmond, where on reaching bis majority he succeeded to the tobacco business established by his father and which he eventually moved to this city. A Great MupniukliiHr City. Washington is the greatest rnapmak- Ing city in the world. There was a time when Geneva, Switzerland, was the great map producing center of the globe, but this is no longer the case. This city is turning out more and bet i ter maps than any other city on tlie globe. Twelve bureaus of the United States government are engaged in the work of printing and issuing maps of the finest quality and requiring the highest class of workmanship, and this has resulted in attracting to this city the best cartographers and map en gravers in Europe. The maps turned out by the government are of every quarter of tlie globe and are not, as some might imagine, solely of North America and its parts. Root ml Shaw. Secretary Shaw, the new head of the treasury department, was standing on the White House stairway talking to a number of newspaper correspondents when Secretary Boot passed on his way to the cabinet meeting which Mr. Shaw was to attend when he had fin ished bis discourse on finance. The sec retary of war rubbed elbows rather roughly with the secretary of the treas ury, glared at the carelessly dressed man who had been in his way and rushed by without speaking. Mr. Shaw evidently saw some humor in the situ ation. "Boys," he said as he watched the rapidly moving form of the war secre tary, "if I ever get in that fix after 1 have been secretary awhile just stick a pin into me." Snnltnry Burlier SIIOJ.H. Barbers must keep their mouths shut while working in this city, according to the rules adopted by the boss bar bers. At a meeting last night it was agreed that "sanitary shops" must pre vail. The bosses will ask the health department to enforce the new rules. This is one of them: "Barbers must keep their mouths closed when leaning over a person get ting shaved. They must keep their mouths and teeth in good, clean cou- I dition." Dominc of n Character. I "Crying Johnny" Shutter, n local ce lebrity who hail not worked for thirty years. Is dead. Shutter had absolute control of his tear ducts and could cry copiously whenever occasion demaud | ed. There nre few members of con gress since the civil war who have not contributed to his support Shutter's : tears always did the business. CAUL SCUOFIELD. SSfi- JFCSR LITTLETS3 A SHADOW PICTURE. One In Which the EJOH Roll nnd the Mouth OpciiM nnd Slintn. If you place yourself between a light and tlie wall or between a window and the wall, your shadow will appear upon the wall, but it will give only your silhouette. Now, let us tell you how to insert eyes, nose and mouth in the shadow's head and to make the eyes roll in their sockets and the mouth, burnished with enormous teeth, open and shut, as if it intended to de vour the astounded spectators of the clever trick. To accomplish this it is necessary to place yourself at an angle of the room MAKING THE SHADOW. near a wall that has a half length mir ror hanging on it. The person that holds the light has to make sure, by varying its distance or its height, that the reflection of the candle in the glass falls on the place on the wall that serves as a screen for the shadow of your head. According to the form of the mirror, this reflection will show as a luminous oval or a parallelogram beside the outlines of your shadow. But if you have covered the mirror with a sheet of thick paper in which, as may be seen in the accompanying illustration, you have cut the likeness of two eyes, a nose and a mouth, as grotesque as you may like, the lumi nous rays that traverse these slits will be the only ones reflected, and they will appear upon the wall as belong ing to the shadow of your head. To make the apparition more effec tive superimpose upon the glass two sheets of paper equally designed and furnished with features, one of them being fixed and the other movable. Sway the latter to and fro with your hand and you will produce in the shad ow a pair of goggling eyes and a snap ping mouth, enough to startle the most impassive spectator. limlde n Quail's Shell. The egg bound quail felt he couldn't stand it another minute; he must have more room. So he drew back his head as far as he could—und precious little it was—and struck and pressed with all the strength of determined and final effort, when, 10, the walls of the house began to give way! He felt that something strange and unusual had happened. Just what it was he did not know, but he was sure it was something of great importance, lie now felt stronger than he had ever felt before, and so ho pushed his little nasal horn harder and harder against the wall. Now he saw how it was done, so he kept turning more and more in his bed, pressing the ugly nasal horn against the wall from time to time, raising a row of little three sided pyra mids entirely around the shell. Then as he stopped to rest a moment he felt tin* sweet air coining in through the rents he had made, and he filled his lungs with it—a thing he had never done before—and it intoxicated him and made him feel bigger and stronger than he ever felt before. So he straight ened himself out just to show how big and fine he was, when, 10, the whole top of the house fell off, and lie rolled out into the bottom of the hollow hemisphere, the most astonished crea ture you ever saw!— Harper's Maga zine. ToiiKue Twlntera. Just ask your playmate to repeat rapidly the information that "she sells, sea shells" or to say that the "Sea ceaseth, and it sulliceth us," or "What a shame such a shapely sash should shabby stitches show," or "Give Grimes Jim's gilt gig whip." If your playmate succeeds in getting them out straight, then ask him or her to repeat six times in one breath, "What a pity poor Peter pecked pretty Polly's pigs!" or "Six misses mixed hisses." If suc cess attends this effort, then the fol lowing sentence will probably prove a stickler: "Sam should soon sell Shem six shilling single shingles." A Hood Game.

Y., Hands Down An Important Decision. In the case of Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy against Blood and Liver trouble, Judge James 11. Clancy of Horn ellsville, N. Y., and one of the most prom inent members of the bar in that historic town, decided recently that as against Blood and Liver trouble, Dr. David Ken nedy's Favorite Remedy was worthy of the highest praiso. He says: "I have used Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy and strongly re commend it for its good effoct in my case for liver trouble and blood dis order. It built uie right up and I improved greatly In health." Geo. H. TifTt of 878 River street, Troy, N.

There is a feeling of timidity that oftentimes overcomes a writer when beginning nil article. As in writing a letter, it is getting started that puzzles. It is the custom to begin with slow moving piston and work gradually into full speed until the tlow of words is free, and then the difficulty with some of us Is to find the brake valve. Again, a writer sometimes discovers that bis beginning is a more fitting ending, and vice versa. The newspaper style is to throw general conclusions up strong under the headlines, while tlie sermon- Izer reserves them until his final cli max. Thackeray remarked once that he could never tell exactly what lie was going to sa" until his pen was in hand and under motion and then did not fully realize just what lie was saying until it was written. There Is a subconscious ness that shapes, writing as it does speaking. This, 1 know, distuilis same well known theories of speaking and writing—as to weighing everything and then measuring it out as a druggist compounds a prescription—hut my ob servations arq that the preparation is more in getting full of a subject and then letting the mind work free under tlie impulse of the dominating idea. There are as many ways and meth ods in writing and speaking as there are Individuals, and yet the fundamen tal law in the transmission ;f thought and speech runs largely in the same groove, whether it he the jargon of the Hottentot or the polished periods of the scholar. Human nature has its own primitive impulses that defy all rules of rhetoric and the power of ex pression—tliat is, the power, mind you —is deeper seated than any artificial formula of stylists. National Maga zine. The ConKrcNHionnl Record. To appreciate tlie value of Tlie Con gressional Record one must see it used. It is the only means by which members themselves keep informed of tlie prog ress of legislation when scores of measures are often considered in a day. It is on the desk of the president of the United States and is read by every executive officer, from cabinet to chief of division. Every government in tlie world envies ours the possession of such a publication, forming at once an indispensable current record and a permanent history of events even more valuable through the centuries.—Argo naut.
