ERILS OF UPPER Why a Railread Conducter faye They Are Dangerous. From the Memphis Weekly.

D. Sehinidt. of New |} FANNIE SMITH’S CHURCH. Dedication ef the Edifice-Hew the Building Fund Was Started. From the Philadelphia Times. A little girl, delicate and poorly clad, six years ago proposed toa clergyman who was ad- ministering to her at her bedside that a church should be built for people like herself, who were too indifferently dressed to worship in ordinary temples and ashamed to mingle with rich con- gregations. She placed in his hands some cop- per and nickel coins, which she sald would do to bezin the subscription with. Her name was FannieSmith, and her donation was #4 21. Some time after this she died. Yesterday the Memo- Mal Presbyterian church, on Montgomery ave- nue, below 18th street, which had been the dream of her life and for whose erection she gave her savings, was opened with dedicatory ceremonies, and the Rey. Dr. Muchmore. the e: ecutor of little Fannie, duly installed as rector. The church and lot has cost $70,500, of which every cent is paid. Dr. Mutchmore in 1876 was pastor of the Co- hoeksink Presbyterian church. The little girl was a regular attendant, but being scantily dressed only went in the evenings. She was very small and weak, but full of charity and gentleness. One day Dr. Mutchmore was waited upon by the mother. She was greatly excited, and told him that her little daughter wished to sec him. He went and received from her hands the money which formed the basis of the fund The services yesterday were attefided by a lar, crowd. Rev’ Dr. Cattell, of Lafayette Coll Raston, preached in the morning. In the after- noon Rey. Dr, Agnew gave an address to the young people and Rey. Thomas Orr also spok The Rey. J. Edison Henry, of Princeton Presb: terian church, delivered the installation sermon in the evening: Rev. Dr. Johnson preached the charge to the pastor, and Dr. Catteil preache the charge to the congregation. After the ser- vices about one hundred persons paid $25 each for one of the coins which the little girl gave to Dr. Mutehmore. They were nearly all one, three and five cent pi An Amateur Dramatist Goes in Search of a Star. A writer on the San Francisco Chronicle tells the following amusing story: He was a short, thin man, about thirty. He adark moustache under a thin nose, and his cheeks were sunken and thin. His eyes were deep under his black eyebrows, and looked as if he had been up all night. He sat at the steps ot the California theater entrance, with his hat on the back of his head, and a roll of manuscript resting on his knees. That was all he said, as he rose lazilyand leaned against the pillar. did not seem to care to talk much. Melodrama?” What is it?” ‘Oh, darned if I know,” he burst out sudden- It was a drama when I star in on It. t it’s been a comedy and a farce and a melo- ma since. and blow me it I don’t believe it’s going to end in a tragedy.” He took off his hat and wiped his brow witha handkerchief. s. you never wrote no plays, did you?” “Then you just keep ‘em there. and don't let nobody see 'em. Look here. I tried to write a play. That was easy enough. I tried to get it produced. Look at me! I've lost thirty-five pounds in the last three weeks. I wrote a do- mestic drama. The scene was laid in San ha- fael. where a man murdered his wife and six children in the first act. The tableau of the act was the funeral procession with a brass band playing the dead march—a lovely, pathetic end- ing. This play was in four acts. ‘In the second ct the man had married again and had another family—six children, all on the staze. He lived on Tehama street in San Francisco, and {had a@ realistic scene of the nelzhborhood. You know Tehama street? The act opened with a street-fight, not quite the same. but like ‘The Lizhts o° London.’ I forgot to tell you, they let the man off in the first act on the plea of tem- porary insanity. Well. he gets into this fight and kills the man as Isengaged to his daughter. He's arrested, but Just as the policeman’s tak- Ing him off to jail, he says to hin: ‘I'm gone this time. Let me take a last look at the neigh borhood, and have sum fun before I'm hung. The policeman goes into @ saioon to take a drink, and waits for him, an’ the man goes up to ius wite an’ six children an’, with tear’ in his eyes, he says good-by. Then he takes out a Pistol and shoots the:n all, one atatime. The policeman comes out an’ ke shoots him, Then he walks into the city prison and says, ‘Ive killed a whole neighborhood. Lock me up.’ The sergeant says, ‘A whole neighborhood! There’s some style about that. You must be crazy. You kin go.’ He goes back home an’ finds Ins daughter Just recovering. He tries to finish her, when she shoots him, and the policeman who was shot comes in an’ arrests THE EVENING STAR: WASHING SUBF BATHING IN WINTER. L™ E. PINKHAWS Astenishing People Who Keep up the Habit Throughout the Entire Year. From the New York Sun. “Bathing,” said the proprietor of a row of rather weather-beaten boxes on the beach at the Highlands, N. J., “cannot be said to cease entirely at any time of the year. Of course, after the middle of September it would be use- less to keep the boxes open, but now and then somebody comes to the beach In the middle of winter, undresses hastily and plunges In. But he seldom remains in the water more thana few seconds, and, to say the truth, I have sel- dom seen the same tace twice. The finest days are chosen for such work, but, no matter how brightly the sun is shining, it is an awful ordeal, and only to be undertaken by persons of strony constitutions. They come out, for the most part, looking as though the sea was boiling In- stead of treezing, drees themselves on the beach as though they had no time to lose, and racy along the sand for half an hour. ‘The most persistent winter bather I ever saw was a boy about sixteen years of age, who used to come here a couple of years azo. He lived about a mile from the beach, and every morning, from December 1 to February 28, at 3 f », he was paddling in the . The most singular thing about him was that he could not swim a stroke, and did not seem disposed to learn the art. I offered to teach him, but he said: **) thank ye; iff swum I'd be goin’ beyond my depth and gettin’? drownded.” “He never bathed in the surf, but always in the smooth water inshore. He would stand breast dee, but. for the most part. he ted with splashing the water himself with his hands or wading slow . When he caine out he did not seem to be chilled, and, unlike most of the others, he dressed him- selt at leisure, and strolled home whistling. He Was not a profitable customer, for he never bathed in summer. He said he hated warm baths. His family have gone to Nantucket. so I suppose he is now astonishing fishermen there.” Seen U From the Mercer Ke We had ses 'p Salt Hiver. n. but a short distance up the stream when we saw upon the bank a demo- cratic graveyard.

BY ELIZABETIL ROBINS. From the December Atlantic. The superiority in many ways of the Persian over the other Aryan creeds cannot be exayger- ated. While Hindus worshiped impossible monstrosities, and Greeks honored tdealized men and women, Persians bowed down before i a pure spirit. To the bloody sacrifices and elab- orate ceremonies of Hellas and India the simple | ritual of Iran offered an admirable contrast. Its great merit, however, is seen in its practical application to human conduct. Brahmanism and Buddhism, filled with thoughts of a future state of existence, gave little heed to earthly matters. In Greece religion made life beautiful, but was of slight assistance to man in his every day need: Zoroastrianism alone gave full value to the necessities of the present and advocated the sanctity of work and the importance of pleasure. The ood effects of its healthy precepts were somewhat counter- acted by its other doctrines. Once a people’s creed is established on a firm basis it, in its turn, exercises a powerful influence on civiliza- tion. Religion in Persia occupied itself with the world and with human life, but its esti- mation of them was distorted by its strict division ofall objects and forces between Ormuzd and Ahriman. Dualism was a stum- bling-block to science and a hindrance to moral- ity. A stimulus was given to the study of material things, but the scope of inquiry was limited. Certain premises were assumed as a basis for all reasoning. The tasks required of the Hebrews by the Egyptians were easy and possible when com! ta, those the Persian student set for himself. The Magi’s quest of knowledge was a labor trom which even Her- cules would have recoiled. Their efforts were futile because of their pre-formed conclusions. The idea of duality in na- ture blinded them to the law of cause and effect. They referred all the destructive forces in the universe to Ahriman, and, since they classed these as evils, it was supose for them to understand the relation of death and decay to life and growth. That certain things, evil in themselves, may be ranked as good be- our play. I don't like shootin,- Ido moot! I ike to shoot at a good many. four play Fark Maxo.* has lots of excitement in it.
