AN OLD LION. TWO BEE STORIES. A HAPPY FACTORY. Young Cochran Has Done for His Operatives. A REPORTER IN ZION.

How Young Brer Kewcomb Was Tlucked from the Burning." (New York Sun.) The front page of John Alexander Dowie's weekly "Leaves of Healing" Is bright with a likeness of Mr. Arthur W. Newcomb. or, as the editor puts it, "the excellent young man whose brave, honest and intelligent face looks out upon the reader from this page." Mr. Caisias M.

Clay as Henry Watter- son Sees Him. (Louisville Courier-Journal.) The old Lion of Whitehall lies low now; he is a menace no longer to friend or foe, hardly a terror, nut, as the admiring relict of the prize-fighter, un defeated save by death, observed as she took a last fond look upon the cold features of the defunct, "he was a hoss In his day!" Aye, and what a day had the won derful Nonagenarian, who still tarries there In his castle outside the good city of Richmond, In Madison county; Madison county, which, with Mercer and Boyle, laid the foundation of Kentucky's claim to prlorty in the production of Heroes, Statesmen and Saints! Truth to say, except In the infirmities of hts declining years. Gen. Clay is no crazier now than he ever was. This is not to question the proceeding of his next of kin and the ruling of the court which has adjudged him incompetent.

Incompetent, as to worldly matters and In the worldly sense, he certainly is; though when. In these regards, was he not? We often read of those living before their time, In advance of their generation and their day. Here was one living long after; one of Barbarossa's men left out in the final muster; one of the Clan-Na-Gael of Richard Yea-and Nay, strangely omitted from the ros ter displayed in that queer old cathe dral of Mleux; a Chevalier of Arthur and the Table Round; a paladin of Charlemagne and the Middle Ages. These two last centuries he could have existed nowhere else on the face of the globe than in Kentucky; for Kentucky time-out-of-mlnd has been the home of all that is nobly barbaric the last refuge of the hattle-ax In human nature and destiny Justly earning, and that in many aspects, the sobriquet of "the dark and bloody ground." The outbreaks of violence in other parts of the country are as frequent and as flagrant as they are with us. There is as much outlawry on the other side of the Ohio River as on this.

Yesterday Illinois furnished the horrid example; to-day it is Indiana. To-mor row, It may be which of the self-righteous states from Rhode Island to Delaware that is so handy in the matter of casting of stones? At least in Kentucky we order these things differently, and Cassius Marcellus Clay led the procession three-score-and-ten years ago; at once frenzied and fear less conceiving himself an emissary or Heaven; god-like, yet a walking ar senal; aggressive, dangerous, lntolera-ant; the armed apostle of the gospel of freedom and force; the arrogant, belligerent minister of the lowly and the poor; his word on his tongue, his knife and his gun in his belt, his life In his hand. Such was Cassius Mar cellus Clay from 1836 to 1861. When Lincoln came in, the old Hon stood at the front. He was a handsome, distinguished man In personal appear ance.

But, even as a high diplomatist and subsequently as a soldier, he lacked moderation and self-restraint His character, spirit and method ber longed to feudal times. He was by no means without ability and culture. Man to man he was always above the average. His failure to improve the opportunity which had come to him through such strenuous events, and had been so long coming, was ascrlbable to his inability to adjust himself, to any fixed condition imposing any kind of subordination. Mr.

Lincoln regarded him with alternate admiration and amazement; but he soon discovered that he could not trust him with responsi bility requiring either delicacy or touch or self-effacement. We live in canny times in times of opulence and peace that is to say, we think we do and the world, we fancy, Is adjusting Itself to the changed con ditlons. Certainly men of the kind who live to shoot and who shoot to kill as distinguished from the criminal classes admittedly inconvenient as neighbors and visiting acquaintances are happily becoming fewer and fewer. Their final going will not be the occasion of very much regret. Yet, no one of us can withhold a certain admiration of the spirit which has burned within the bosom of this Old Lion of Whitehall even as we are bound to confess a certain irresistible awe in his majestic presence.

Who shall fathom the depths of that overpowering personality, fhat bottomless abyss of transcendent Quixotism? The Emotional Seller. (Wall Street Journal.) A most suggestive statement Is that made bv an eminent banker, namely, that of the three classes of sellers In the stock market "the emotional seller" is the one who causes the most damage to values, because he sells without thought and without reason. It Is this class of emotions; sellers that is so conspicuous at this time In Wall street. The emotional seller is controlled simply by his fears. He sells because he sees other people selling, not because he has made any study of the situation, and Is convinced that conditions made it probable that there would be lower prices.

His fears are excited by what he reads or hears concerning the possibility of disturbance In the market. He makes no investigations, but, becoming panic-stricken, he sacrifices his securities at the very time when he should hold on to them. Of course. It Is easy to play upon the fears of this class of men, and that is what many shrewd operators In Wall street have been doing. Just as.

at the height of a boom, they would inflame the speculative tendencies of the public to the point of buying stocks at the top prices, so In a time of reaction they use the same tactics, and by creat'ng an atmosphere of alarm, persuade these emotional persons that it Is the time to sell. There is reason to believe that much of the recent liquidation has been due to this kind of selling. Instead of representing forced liquidation by important financial Interests, which has been the theory that has been so largely adopted, the selling has chiefly represented the fears of persons who ought to know tetter, and who would have known better if they had taken the pains to make It an adequate investigation of the facts. Such a time aa this is rather a period for buying than for selling, but It is hard to make the average person outside of Wall street understand this. The money lost in the stock market is money lost because so many people Insist upon buying at top prices when they should be selling, and of selling at low prices when they should he buying.

That Is the way of the "lamb" the world over In every market. The Conclave and the Veto Power. (Bishop Keiley of Savannah In Atlanta Constitution.) Some distinguished western gentleman has discovered a mare's nest and exploited It through the Associated Press, lrformlng the country that attention must be paid to the veto power vested lr. Austria. France and Spain.

A custom has obtained in the past that the cardinals who represent these countries were permitted to state that certain cardinals were not personae gratae to their governments. Despite this. It has happened before that the veto was disregarded. It is extremely unlikely that Austria or Spain would make any request of this nature, and it is absurd to suppose that any member of the sacred college could be Induced to speak for the present communistic and red repub lean, government now in power In Death of Well Known Dmeoa mnd Land-Owner In Glastonbury. Edwin H.

Andrews, a well known res ident of Glastonbury, died at his home on Main street in that place last evening at 8:30, aged 78 years. Deacon Andrews had been critically 111 for about ten days with Brlghts disease, from which he had been a sufferer for several yars. Although an operation per formed a few days ago afforded him temporary relief a relansa followed. He had been unconscious much of the time aunng tne past two days. Deacon Andrews, as he was commonly known, had been identified with Glastonbury affairs for many years and especially with the Congregational Church, of which he had been one of the deacons for more than thirty years.

He was a native of this town, and while he had spent a portion of his life In carrying on farm work until his ill neuith prevented, he also for a number of years conducted a eeneral store before and during the Ws In the build ing on elles corner subsequently oc cupied by William and Charles Taylor and at present by George F. Corbit He at length gave up this store and opened a store of the same character in a building on Welles corner which stood on tne present site of Olcott's building. He sold this business and the building about 1SS4 to F. C. Covell, who had been his clerk for several years, and since then farming had been his principal occupation.

He purchased considerable meadow land and until recently was among the largest owners of this kind of land in the town. While Mr. Andrews had held a num ber of town offices, especially that of as sessor for several terms, he will be best remembered as "Deacon Andrews." Though a man of a quiet, unobtrusive manner he had a strong influence In church affairs. Deacon Andrews married nearly fifty- four yeurs ago Miss Sarah Hawley of Windsor Locks. His wife survives him and also a daughter.

Mrs. Lillian An drews Miles of California, and two grandchildren, Sadie, who has recently married, and George F. Miles, both of whom also reside In California. A brother, Silas Q. Andrews of Glaston bury, aiso survives him.

BRIDGEPORT STATION. Plana Drawn for the New Half M1I- lion Structure. Bridgeport, July 16. Bridgeport's new station, which, when completed, will represent an expenditure of half a million dollars, and will be the most perfect model of a railroad station be tween New York and Boston, is no longer a group of visionary Ideas. The plans have been drawn.

The only at tempt at adornment which has been made is the addition of a tower, 112 feet in height, on the northwestern corner. The station will be between two groups of tracks. On the eastern side of the structure will be the four main tracks of the railroad, an auxiliary track for express cars and for picnic trains, and the tracks of the Naugatuck Division. On the western Bide will be the tracks of the Berkshire Division. The station will be erected in the broad, oblong shaped piece of land between those tracks.

The station will be com pletely surrounded by entrances, but what may be termed the main entrance will probably be the one toward Fair field avenue, because that will be reached by an easy ascent, with no stairs.

George Mc- Camlsh, who Is in a Russian prison at Vladlvostock, writes to his relatives in this city appealing for help. Although the letter was mailed six weeks ago it has Just reached here. McCamlsh and two other Americans sailed rrom kohama with permission from the gov ernment of Japan to hunt fur animals in the Kurrle Islands.

They find no need for such an organization and the walking delegate would be out of place. Ask any one of them how they get along without a union and they will point, by way of answer, to Alexander Smith Cochran, the young Yale graduate who recently became the heir to Warren B. Smith's fortuner of $0,000,000 and who is now the president of the company. Mr. Cochran, who is only 28 years old.

knows that to get the best results from his employees they must be satisfied with their lot, and he is doing all he can to make them satisfied and desirous of helping one who evinces a tendency to help them. He Is fully aware of the hardships which are their lot. He has granted many concessions to the men since he has been at the hpad of the concern, and this of his own volition, for none of them was solicited. His latest concession is one which has made the workers most happy, for It has decreased their hours of labor by two and three-quarter hours each week, while the re has been no diminution In their wages. Beginning with yesterday, all work In the factory ceases at half-past 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Instead of half an hour later, as formerly. For the six days In the week this would mean a de crease of three hours In the working week. But Mr. Cochran has asked, for his end of the compact, one concession, and that is that on Saturdays the men labor for a quarter of an hour longer man nas Deen the custom heretofore. Whereas they formerly quit their labors at noon, the time for ceasing Is now fifteen minutes later.

This move, of course. Is hailed with Joy by the workers, and all are extravagant in their praise of Mr. Smith. They have other reasons to feel kindly toward him. When he took charge of the factory it was the rule that there should be a half holiday on each Saturday in June.

July and August It was surprise to the men when he de termined that this half holldav be continued all through the year, winter as well as summer. Since Mr. Cochran succeeded Francis T. Holden as the president of the com pany it has added to its immense plant. Mr.

Cochran, despite his wealth and he Inherited several millions of dollars from his father before he became his uncle heir is one of the most demo cratic of employers, and learned the business he now conducts from Its low est Dranch. The Penobscot Salmon Season. (Bangor Special to Boston Advertiser.) It Is now unlawful to catch any Pe nobscot salmon with either a hook and line or weir until April. 1904. While this does not mean that Bangor people will have no more salmon to eat It does mean that the fishing season for 1903 at the Bangor salmon pool Is over and that it has been an exceptionally poor season.

While the season has been such a poor one with the anglers on the river, the weir men have had a good one. far better than that of a year ago. The sea Batmon is a queer fish and his vagaries cannot be accounted for, yet the Hi luck of the present season's line fishermen is laid to a great extent at the door of the condition of the river. That is, the lowness of the water. Last season the water was high and the fish came by the nets and up to the dam where the fishermen succeeded In catching laO of them with hook and line.

This year the water has been low. The fish have run up and down the river, coming up usually, however, only as far as the pool and then going down. Many have been taken in the nets for this reason. In one net alone which laBt season took less than forty fish, nearly 100 have been caught during the open time this year. Also, the fishermen say, when the salmon did come up the river they went above the pool and started in the water right under the dam.

As it Is unlawful to fish within 100 yards of the dam it was of course Impossible to catch them when they stayed inside this limit. Another thing, the fish did not commence running up this year until very late. When the salmon begin running they can be plainly seen as they Jump and play in the water. It was June before they commenced to come up to the pool this spring, and by that time it was so late that they did not bite well. But thirty-seven salmon were caught with a line this year against the 120 of the season of 1902.

The Midnight Shrieks of a Murderer. (Jeffersonvllle Special to Indianapolis News.) Robert Lee, alias Lee Brown, the Ev-ansville negro who murdered patrolman Louis Massey and who Is now confined In the Indiana Reformatory here for safe-keeping, is a source of much annoyance to the officials. Throughout the day he is quiet, but at night he becomes restless and afraid. For the last three nights the inmates of the hospital ward In which Lee is confined have been awakened at 12 o'clock by a bloodcurdling shriek from his Ups. He will claim that he Is dying, and Dr.

Harry Sharp, the reformatory physician, has been summoned on each occasion to find the negro no worse than usual. The Whirlwind Caught 1 Mrs. Pot ter. (Philadelphia Record.) Washingto, July 14. The southwestern portion of Washington county was visited by a tornado this afternoon, which did damage estimated at $75,000 and injured one woman.

A funnel-shaped cloud swept down on the district shortly after noon. It swept buildings, fences and trees In Its path and devastated grain fields. Mrs. V. H.

Potter was caught In the edge of the tornado and perhaps fatally Injured. She was carried a quarter of a mile and thrown into a wheat field. Two Beats. (New York Sun.) One of the more cheering sights of the day was displayed to passers-by In Park Row a little after noon. A very solemn, fat reporter came down out of a newspaper office with a camera and a thermometer.

He wandered about the open space, disconsolately and dripplngly looking for the hottest spot. After while he found a handy place near tht Franklin monument which seemed to bs the focu of more sun rays than any other. There he solemnly set up the thermometer, waited until the mercury refused to rise any higher, and then photographed the record. Then solemnly and drlppingly he retired to the picture department of his newspaper. A few minutes later another young man, from a rival newspaper, appeared In a secluded spot in William street, near the bridge arches and likewise produced a thermometer.

He, however, produced a match, which he lighted and held under the bulb of the thermometer while another reporter with a camera took a picture. Thus are "beats" scored by the truly great Inkerly "I can't read this writing." Bossby "Pooh! The writing is good enough! Any ass could read it. Hand to Chicago Daily News, The Overturned Hive at Green Har borThe Swarm In Mr. Conway's Attlo. (Mansfield Special to Boston Herald.) An overturned beehive to-day (Tues day) created a sensation at Green Har bor not equalled since the time the Brant Rock summer girls went out riding with an iceman while clad in their bathing costumes.

In the heart of the summer colony to-day noon the beehive was accident ally tipped over, and the bees flocked about Marginal street like files around Tom Pezzl's fish market, where a sign announces that the proprietor is going to live "forever." Several summer girls and permanent residents, among the latter being George Sampson, were stung smartly. It was some time before the bees were finally rounded up. This evening many summer residents have their hands and faces plastered with mud in an effort io quiet the palna. (Shrewsbury Special to Worcester Tele gram.) A swarm of bees lighted tn John Con way's attlo a few days ago. Mr.

Conway thought himself lucky and decided to hive the bees the first chance he had. He bought a hive and last night after dark and as he supposed long after the bed time of the bees, the hive was taken to the attic and Ed Chllds and Mr. Con way started to put the bees to bed in their new home. Childs was dressed for the business, wearing a big hat with veil over it ana heavy gloves. Mr.

Conway went to the attic in his shirt sleeves and started to move the bees by scooping up two big handsful and placing them in the hive. The first load went In without trouble but the second went in harder. Several of the bees Jumped on Conway and he says he thought they said "let go." That i what he did. anyway, and Childs put nearly all of the beea into the hive. This morning Conway went to look at his new hive of bees, but not a bee was there in the hive.

The whole Tami-ly had moved back to their corner in the attic Conway hands and arms were badly swollen as the result of his many stings and he eays before he does any more business with bees he wants to get acquainted with some experienced bee owner. LAM CHO'S PREDICAMENT. The Brigand Have Got Him, and Want a. 20,000 Ransom. (San Franctsco Special to New York Times.) Advloes from Canton, China, say that consternation prevails throughout the province in high Chinese circles over kidnapping of Lam Cho, a Hawaiian Chinese capitalist, and three other Chi nese who were inveigled to what they supposed to be a friend's house near Sunwal.

Lam Cho and his companions were seized and quickly conveyed to the Interior, where they are held for ransom. After the capture, one of the brigands sent word to a friend of Lam Cho in Canton that he and his com panions would be released for $20,000 ransom. Lam Cho, next to Ah Fong, Is the best-known Chinaman in Hawaii. He went to Hawaii many years ago and cultivated the acquaintance of George McFarlane, then chamberlain to King Kalakaua I. ThrouRh McFarlane, he was frequently accorded an audi ence with the King, and this acquaint anceship ripened into one of friendship.

Lam Cho received valuable concessions and was largely instrumental In bring. ing Chinese into Hawaii under con tract. On the death of Kalakaua and the succession of Lilloukalani, Lam Cho became the queen's confidential adviser on Chinese affairs In the king dom. Lam CI went to China six: months ago, and for one concession at Canton he paid $150,000. Commissioner Wong's Baseball Hand.

(St. Louis Globe Democrat.) His excellency, Wong Kai Kah, the Chinese vice commissioner to the World's Fair, Is suffering from a temporary displacement of hie right hand, due to an overindulgence In the American national game of baseball. Mr. Wong was an enthusiastic admirer of the game, which he learned along with Greek -erb roots and other studies at Yale. The lapse of a number of years since that time, however, has put him out of practice and his blistered and swollen right hand is mute evidence of his enthusiastic if not skillful playing.

Ever slnces the arrival of the vice commissioner and his family at their residence on Goodfellow avenue, the male contingent of the little colony has lived out of doors whenever possible. Mr. Wong, who is naturally fond of athletics, has taken great pleasure in playing ball with his sons, son-in-law and the attaches of his suit. Some of the hot liners sent to him bv the younger members of the family proved too much, however, for hands that had been more used to the pen, and it was not long before blisters appeared and his right hand became swollen. The youngsters, however, had learned something from their association the little American boys In the neighborhood and had provided themselves with huge catching gloves, which completely protected their hands.

Mr. Wong has since done likewise. Lightning In a Pennsylvania Mine. (Frackville, Special to Phlladel-phla Record.) During Wednesday's thunder storm here a bolt of light descended into the bowel of the earth at the Crystal Run Company's colliery and shocked a number of miners. It struck the steel rails of the Mammoth Vein slope and ran along them, searing the metal to the bottom, a distance of 400 feet.

The electricity then caromed to another part of the mine, a half-mile away, where there were a score or more of miners working. These were all shocked, but not seriously injured. John Ruscavage, a miner, who received the shock in the back, got Into an altercation with his "butty," under the impression that the latter had struck him. George Sholtos, who was descending the slope In a car at the time the bolt struck the rails, was bodily lifted up and thrown out. There were fourteen telegraph poles on the surface burned and twisted by the electric current.

Caterpillars oa the March. (Walla Walla Special to Taeoma Ledger.) Oliver Dewitt, a prominent Dry Creek fanner, to-day reported an army of caterpillars marching across the country. He first saw what appeared to be the tall end of the army near his farm yesterday. Coming to town this morning he ran across the full army entering the road from the wheat field of Joseph Harbert, a few miles east of the city. The army Is 150 yards wide and it is estimated that Its length is two or three miles.

There are billions of the worma Dewitt says they threaten to devastate the wheat fields. The worms are a species of caterpillar from one and a half to two Inches long, brown and fuzz? with occasional green stripe FELL IX DURING A FIT AND FOUGHT OFF RESCUER. (Special to The Courant.) Manchester, July 16. In the presence of his two little sis ters, Elizabeth, aged 11, and Mary, aged 7, Arthur Douglass, aged 13, the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs.

Arthur Douglass of No. 9 Mill street, was drowned this noon. The party had been on a fishing trip at a pond near the house and were returning home, proud of the string of fish that the little fisherman had cap tured, but when they were within sight of their house and were walking along the side hill near the lower reservoir of the Manchester Water Company the little girls saw their brother start suddenly and run down the hill. Elizabeth knew in an instant that he had taken a fit to which he had been subject and tried to catch him. When he was within a few feet of the reservoir he tripped over a stick and rolled into the water.

Elizabeth waded Into the pond and tried to drag her brother out at the same time calling for help. The boy struggled frantically against her and finally fearing that he might catch hold of her and drag her still deeper into the water. she gave up her efforts in trying to save him. The cries of the children attracted some other children and some of them ran to the A. Wllliard Case paper mill nearby for help.

A Polander employed in the mill was the first man on the scene and he waded into the water and pulled the boy out. John Hall and several other papermakers. Including the boy's father, were on the scene in a few moments after he was taken from the water. When the boy was laid out on the bank it was evident that there was no life in him but artificial respiration was tried until It was obviously useless. Medical Examiner Tinker was called.

After viewing the body and Questioning the little girls he gave permission for Its removal, and the men. Including the father, carried the body through the lots to the home a few hundred yards away. The bo" was born In Talcottvllle and was smart In his studies. He attended school in the Eighth District. He was a daring youngster and was admired therefore by his comrades.

Beside his parents he is survived by two brothers, Thomas and Robert, and four sisters, Bella, Elizabeth, Hazel and Mamie. The funeral will probably be held Saturday afternoon in the home at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. Charles T. Hatch of the North Methodist Church will officiate.

Burial will be In the family lot In Mount Hope Cemetery in Talcott vllle. EPWORTH LEAGUE. Four Big Meetings at Detroit 17,000 Delegates. Detroit, July 16. Four great "Pentecostal" meetings were held to, night by Epworth Leaguers tn Tent Ontario, the Central Methodist Church.

Naugatuck, July 16. Christina Ukas, aged 35, wife of Andrew Ukas of Chestnut Tree Hill, Oxford, was killed at MillvlUe to-day by being thrown from a wagon with her 7-years-old son. She was driving a spirited horse to this place with vegetables from her husband's market garden. Turning a corner at high speed the seat left its fastenings throwing the mother and son out.

At 16 years of age I began writing for leading newspapers, and for many years wrote for the best magazines In the South and North. (New York Sun.)

SETTLEMENT OF THE MANCHU-RIAIM QUESTION. jlSSCKAKCE GIVKK BY CHISA. so objection by RussiaPerfect TTn-derstanding Between Washing-ton and St. Petersburg, Washington, July 16. It was announced by the state department to-day that China had given assurances that it will soon open two treaty ports In Manchuria and that there will be no opposition by Russia, thus settling the Manchurlan question to the satisfaction of this government.

It is understood that th'i ports to be opened are Ta Tung Kao and Mukden. The state department is gratified at this outcome, feeling that it has secured not only for American commerce but for the commerce of the world at large a very sub-etantial gain. Mukden is the principal inland port of Manchuria and Ta Tung Kao is at the mouth of the Yalu River. This announcement of a victory in the commercial diplomacy of the United States means a great deal more than appears upon the surface. The officials of the department of the state are willing to iay that the getting of two open ports In Manchuria is in itself a great commercial victory, but there is more to follow.

It is the beginning of the end of the three years of diplomatic war between the United States and Russia. It is predicted here to-day that before long there will be a perfect understanding between Washington and St. Petersburg on all disputes that haue arisen of late and that the understanding will be embodied in a new commercial treaty between the two governments. It is now known that the negotiations which have terminated so successfully were practically brought to their present phase by Secretary Hay and Count Cassinl at a meeting at the Russian embassy on June 28, the day before the secretary departed for Newport, for the ambassador then had in hand the necessary authorisation from his own government to make the pledges which are now in process of redemption. Respecting the two ports mentioned as likely to be opened, namely, it may be said that both politically and from a trade point of view Ta Tung Kao is ant to prove the more important, though it is now so little known that the name is not to be found on many of the best charts.

It lies on the right bank of the Yalu River, not far from Its mouth, and close to it is the Korean town of Weju, an important trade center, which undoubtedly will prove tributary to the new port. At present Ta Tung Kao does not amount to much, but rapid development la looked for as soon as it becomes a treaty port. At first the United States government sought to have Takushan made the open port In this part of Manchuria, but the Japanese favored Ta Tung Kao and the United States aban-t nf Ta Tune Kao when it appeared that the laer Is open all tne year rounu, than is closed by ice during several winter months. Mukden is at the head of navigation on Llao River and is the point from which caravans start through Manchuria and Siberia. It is at present the largest mart in Manchuria next to Nlu- It now develops that the meeting of Kussian omciais ai run.

Ratlaea Treaties. tT' -The1 Senate to-day "ttiB4 111 th. "ui toe uniiea txcepUa Piatt amendment Newcomb's counterfeit presentment reveals him as a severe, forcible and successful personage. He is much more than that. He is "a Literary Brand plucked from the burning," a New York newspaper man transferred to Chicago and transformed in Zlon City.

In his own language the excellent young man Is the "literary trophy for God and Zion." He has been saved by General Overseer Dowle from "an almost inevitable doom of despair as regards his spiritual condition by his association with the secular newspapers. All young men who think of askinit for a Job at this or any other secular newspaper office should read and perpend Mr. Dowie's editor's solemn warning: "Nothlnar is mora terrlhls than fact that the uublic newsDaoer Dress, that hll of modern literature, has become, with but tew exceptions, tna Dottomiess pit of destruction, to all who have ever grasped the pen to write for the world. In the Interests of the flesh and of the devil. Slavery to sin is the sine quay non of success in Sa tan's domain of newspaperdom; for no man oares to De rree and write for these syndicates of liars who control the daily He wsyaper press.

Mr. Newcomb's "written testimony" shows that even at an early ace. though reared by Christian parents and a worker In the church, the Sunday school and the young Peole's Society, ne learned to practice deceit toward his parents. He was "an accomplished liar and a smooth hypocrite even in his boyhood." In short, he had that gift for wickedness which marked a mem ber-elct of the Newspaper School and is now so admirable a foil for his present virtues. He smoked before he got into what Zlon City calls "pants." He went to college at 15 and was graduated at 23.

The length of his college course is proof enough of the wickedness of his courses. He began to tipple occasion ally." Now it is a difficult thing to "tipple occasionally." Indeed, we never heard of an "occasional" tippler before. At 21 the now excellent young man lay sick for three months. He was never, at any time, in more complete possession of the Devil" than during this time. The ordinary Devil, course.

The Newspaper Old Boy was yet to come. Mr. Newcomb's parents, readers of Leaves of Healing, telegraphed to Mr. Dowle for prayers, and the young man's life was saved. He did not make any better use of It.

As soon as ha was graduated from college he "took up newspaper work." He seems not to have beeen "a common, ordinary" reporter. He was an uncommon and extraordinary reporter. Whether he was a dramatic critic, a "society" reporter, a poker expert, a collector of church news; whether he was all of these and something more, we leave to the newspaper demons to find Out from these words: "My days were spent In the companionship of some of the worst elements of city life, my nights at the theatre, at the dance, or at the card table. At the same time, I gained an intimate knowledge of the conditions of the churches of the city and of their members. Although I knew, in my own heart, that these churches were dead spiritually, and that their members, for the most part, were men and women whose only pursuits were money and pleasure, I became a member of the largest and most fashionable of them and took up active work in the Toung People Society.

I had become so hard ened in my hypocrisy, that I would even lead temperance meetings and talk on temperance with great fervor on Sunday, while I was smoking and drinking during the week. By this time the habit of lying, learned early in boyhood, and a part of my profession In the newspaper business, had become so strong that I scarcely knew whether I was lying or telling the truth." For a newspaper demon he seems to have had plenty of leisure. He touched sin at many points. One might think that so accomplished a liar would have hard work In giving up the habit and reaching the truth. But we see In the Rake's Progress, so to speak, a dramatic unity, consistency and necessity.

The pre-destined Reformed Character must be very black to make white and more radiant the grand transformation scene and tableau. The prisoner of the Newspaper Hell began to read Leaves of Healing. In his second year of newspaper work he left oft playing cards. Dancing "seemed senseless and silly," and he danced no more, "although he went to many dances every weeek in his capacity as reporter. He "swore off" drinking.

He no longer liked tobacco, it was a filthy weed. The great hour approached. He was "looking for wider fields" when Dowle offered him a Job. Nov. 7, 1898, Dowle gave him a little office next his own in Zion Home; gave him also the bound volumes of Leaves of Healing and told him to read them through from beginning to end and work eight hours a day at the task.

Soon the Secular Newspaper Auld Hornle was exorcised. Now the reclaimed energumen is a deacon In the "Chriftlan Catholic Church In Zlon," General Associate Editor of Zion publications, and he "would rather be General Associate Editor of Zion publications, which are such mighty forces In the Restoration of All Things, than to hold any other editorial position the world has to offer." Praying blessings upon Overseeer Jane Dowle, Deacon A. J. Gladstone Dowle and "the great mission" of J. A.

Dowle, he remains" very respectfully," Arthur W. Newcomb. Such Is his "Story of Victory Over Satan, Sin, Disease. Death and Hell." "Our noble young companion" has been reformed and likes his Job. When Mr.

Dowle comes to Madison Square Garden next fall with Zion White Robed Choir and Zlon City Brass Band, he will make special efforts to cleanse the way of the victims of the Secular Newspaper Clootie. In fact, he moans to put that Inky old rascal out of business. Stella's Spadons Doll House. (Nutley, N. Special to New York Sun.) A house constructed of packing boxes for 9-year-old Stella K.

"It is a doll house and there is no provision for taxing it." said one of the assessors. Another said It should be taxed because people could "eat and sleep in It." The house was presented to the little girl laet week by her grandfather. John Whlteman, an octogenarian, who not only drew the plans, but constructed It himself. It has been painted inside and out and handsome paper decorates the walls. The girl has a deed for the house from her grandparents.

The lower floor has a parlor, a dining room, a kitchen and a hallway. The floor Is tiled. A stairway leads to the upper floor, which contains a bedroom and a bathroom.
