For three Sundays in succession the pastor of a West Side church was gladdened by the appearance 'of a backsliding husband in his wife's pew. Then suddenly this gratifying exhibition of awakened conscience ceased. One day the pastor met the delinquent in a street car. "I have not seen you at church for some time," said the preacher. "Xo" was the candid reply, "I had to give It up.

My wife got so suspicious I couldn't stand It." 'Suspicious exclaimed the parson. "Yes," said the man. "She got it into her head that I was up to some awful deviltry outside that I ras trying to atone for by going to church.

New York Times. A Frenchman went roller skating on the Union Square asphalt yesterday afternoon between showers. His valet, who sat on the curb ready to tighten the skates when necessary, 6aid that he was a Frenchman, but that statement wasn't necessary. The clothes were evidence enough. First there was the high silk bat with a flat brim, the high collar with the forward jutting points, the red tie, the long-tailed cutaway coat and checked trousers that the most uncultivated bencher in the square wouldn't even have thought of calling pants, pearl gray socks, wide open, and nickel-plated perhaps silver-plated skates.

And besides all that there was the goatee. The Frenchman skated with dignity and finish; he seemed solemn about it; to scorn the world. He didn't seem happy or unhappy, but just skated as if it was his duty. And when he was tired he leaned against an ornamental lamppost, the valet standing by to spread apart the coattails. Once he skated down through the traffic squad's roped in inclosure to the south side of the square, where Lafayette stands In bronze with left hand outstretched encouragingly to pedestrians approaching from Dead Man's Curve.

He took off the tali silk hat in front of Lafayette, cut a figure eight on the shadow of George Washington and then glided back to the row of lampposts to rest.

By far the greatest Interest, Is for the tomato Canners raise their plants for the season's growing in open beds, and many of these are reported frost bitten or frozen.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.

Cumberland, May 10. Growers sa5-that the wind and rain, which was mixed with the snow, has probably saved the fruit and early vegetation. It was unseasonably cold early this morning, but the sky had not entirely cleared up, and that prevented frost. Except In places which the wind could not reach there has been but little damage. The atmosphere continues cold, and growers say should the low temperature continue tonight and at the same time the sky clear up the resultant frost would cause great damage.

Walter Scott, actor, four months ago a Death Valley miner, made his debut on the local stage Monday night at the Auditorium In the title role of "Scotty, King of. the Desert Mine." The theatre was crowded with people anxious to see the Westerner. The people cheered and applauded so much that he was compelled to step to the front and make a little speech. "Well, I'm here," was his first word; then "I had a hard time a-gettln here.

They had all kinds of jails and warrants for me, but when I got here the Sheriff had taken to the timber for a vacation and the jails were closed." He then went on in his characteristic manner and said that he was going to be here at every performance this week. Is one thing about Scott's portrayal of the title role that makes him a novelty. He doesn't. stick to the lines of the play, but says what happens to run across his mind at that moment. For Instance, in the last act he finds Long Eva weak from looking for her little daughter.

He tells her where the child Is and promises to help find it. She exclaims, "God bless you, Scotty at which he says, "Oh, don't bless me; I'm blessed enough now. Kansas City Journal. DEFEATED YOUNG JAY GOULD Tennis Player Miles Well Known In This Country. Eustace H.

Laird Henry also told the board of his acquaintance with Captain Wheatly, saying he was brave, honest and zealous in the performance of his duties, and that he was a Democrat. "Well," said the Governor, "there seems to be another Dorchester place to be settled, and we might as well take that up, too, and with this he read out the application of Capt. Bruce C. Dean, the present commander of the Brown, Smith and Jones. Ex-Senator Applegarth also wanted Captain Dean's scalp and nominated F.

Langrell, and Jn giving their views of the fitness of their candidate they always referred to him as belonging to the Democratic party of Dorchester. Harrington made a strong speech for his man, and incidentally got back at Senator Applegarth and his friends, who seemed desirous of Impressing the board that politics and relations to the powers that be was the one scale by which candidates should be measured. Mr. Harrington said that he differed from some of the statements that had been made. It is not the political alignment of a man that always made the best officer.
