He for a year has been employed by Hoover as a farm hand, and won the favor of the family by doing the washing and sweeping. Last Wednes. day he came to Wabash ostensibly to pro- cure a license to wed a Miss Grossnickle, of North Manchester, but instead, through the aid of friends, secured one to marry Miss Hoover, whose age he represented was nineteen.

The father of the girl, almost crazed by her disappearance, found her with O'Hara, took her from the house and hauled her home. She is much jnfatuated with her husband, and declares she wil stick to him. Action was begun to annul the marriage, and the relatives of the girl, it is sald, will prosecute O’Hara.

He received able assistance from the pastor, Rev. E. Hez Swem, At the annual business meeting of the Ninth Street Christian Church the follow- ing elders were elected to succeed them- selves: Messrs. P. S. Steele and W. S. Mc- Curdy, and J. W. Van Vieck as successor to D. C. Arnold. The term of Rev Edward B. Bagby as pastor having expired on the ist of last April he was unanimously re- elected for another three years. The re- port of the treasurer showed that only $96 now remains. of what was only a short time ago a heavy load of debt. According to the secretary’s statement there are now 480 names on the church. membership roll. Rey. Daniel Dulany Addiscn, rector of an Episcopal church at Beverly, Mass., is the guest of his father, Rev. Thos. G. Ad- dison, D.D. Rev. Mr. Addison delivered the sermon at Trinity Church last Sunday. Rev. P. S. Steele has moved out to Falls Church and is now engaged in putting the Endeavorers’ Country Home for Children in a state of readiness for the reception of the little guests by the ist of June. Al- ready a number of applications have been received asking for accommodations, but these will have to be attended to later, as members of the Junior Christian Endeavor Union in needy circumstances will be given first choice, and then the poor of the city. The institution is, however, intended more as a place for young convalescents who cannot afford to go away than as a place for the extremely poor. Last Sunday the congregation of Grace Reformed Church, Rey. A. Thos. G. Apple, pastor, elected oflicers for the consistory as follows: Elder, Peter S. Lesh, and deacon, Lemuel F. Burner, to serve three years. The members of the consistory are also trustees. Rev. Joseph T. Kelly of the Fourth Pres- byterian Church will celebrate bis twenty- first ordination to the ministry tomorrow, he having become a minister on the 5th of May, 1874. Mr. Kelly was born in this «ity and as a child attended the Fourth Church and is its second pastor, having served It as such during the twenty-one years of his ministry. On Tuesday evening the session and board of trustees are to tender Mr. and Mrs. Kelly a reception. TH® meeting of the executive committee of the Christian Endeavor Union Monday evening at the New York Avenue Church will be unusually important for more than one reason. The union has never possessed a set of by-laws, and for that reason a committee, composed of Messrs. W, H. H. Smith, John B. Sleman, jr., Percy 5. Fos- ter, W. S. MacArthur and John D. Mor- gan, have been at work drafting some, and they will submit their report Monday. The question of who is to succeed Lendell A. Conner in the presidency will also be taken up, and already a number cf eligibles have been suggested. Some time ago Vice President Henry A. Dumont resigned because of his business not allowing him to attend meetings. The filling of this vacancy will no doubt be con- sidered. Debates have secured a firm hold among the young men of Trinity P. E. Church, and in consequence next week a discussion will take place in the parish hall on the subject, ‘Resolved, That the citizens of the District of Columbia should be ac- ecrded the right of franchise extending to the election of representatives to the Na- tional Congress.” Mr. Joseph Kauffman, president of the board of trustees of the Eastern Presby- terian Church, recently resigned, and the vacancy has been filled by the election of Mr. Marshall W. Wines to the position. During this month devotions will take place daily in nearly every Catholic zhurch in the city. It has been found that $2,500 will hardly suffice to eréct a new church for the North Capitol Presbyterians, and the plans are to be changed so as to suit a $3,500 edifice. Friday evening an interesting service in connection with the organization of the Episcopal Church known as the “Daugh- ters of the King’ was held in Grace Church, southwest, Rev. Thomas O. Tcngue, rector. In addition to Grace Chap- ter, representatives from several other chapters were present at the meeting. Addresses appropriate to the oceasion were delivered by the Rev. Dr. J. H. Elliott, the Rev. J. M. E. McKee and the Rev. Mr. Tongue. The hour for the Sunday afternoon serv- ices at the Young Men’s Christian Asso- ciation has been changed from 4 o'clock to 4:30, aud under this new rule Rev. A. W. Pitzer, D. D., is to deliver the first address tomorrow, at which time the Am- phion Quartet is to assist in the music. Superintendent of the Junior Epworth League, Hedding B. Leech, has instituted a junior chapter at Fletcher M.eE. Church. It numbers over twenty members, and the officers of the league are taking an inter- est in it. A convention of the King’s Daughters and Sons is to be held at the Church’ of the Covenant Friday and Saturday of next week. An attractive program has been prepared, and the services will be led by Mrs. Davis. A handsome sanctuary lamp of bronze, two feet square, has been presented to St. Paul's Catholic Church by Mrs. J. T. Varnell. The lamp is richly decofated. Officers have been elected in two of the societies connected with the Eastern Pres- byterian Church as follows: Young Peo- ple’s Missionary Circle—President, Miss Easton; secretary, Miss Whitney; treas- urer, Mrs. Berryman, and secretary of literature, Miss M. V. Irwin. Ladies’ Aid Seciety—Mrs. Harvey, president; Mrs. F. M. Buckingham and Mrs. Welch, vice presi- dents; Mrs. Vaughan, secretary; Mrs. Hart, treasurer, and Miss Tracy and Mrs. Zim- merman, finaneial secretaries. Tuesday evening at Waugh Church the Methodist Union held its first meeting since its annual election of officers. Rev. : Widerman, D. D., presided and Presiding Elder Luther B. Wilson made the opening prayer. The address of the evening was made by Rey. Dr. Johnston, who took as his subject the “Possibilities of the Metho- dist Union.” Trinity P. E. Church Parish Hall was the Beene of a successful reception to the con- gregation Tuesday evening. A committee, consisting of Mrs. John F. Hurst and Mrs. Somers, has been appoinied to arrange for the decoration and carpet- ing of Dupont Circle M. EB. Church. The 10th of this month the Epworth League will give a general social at Ham- line Church, Rev. A. T. Pearson, D.D., of Worcester, Mass., who will be one of the principal speakers at the convention here next week of the “Open-Air Workers, guest of Rev. Dr. Teunis S. Hamlin. Com- modious quarters for the other delegates have been provided at the mission building, and this will be one of the features of the mission work that will speak for itself. A pantomime and tableaux was given Monday evening by the Epworth League and Sunday school of Metropolitan Church for the benefit of the Sunday school Ii- brary. Bishop Hurst and Vice Chancellor 8. L. Beiler have just returned from a trip to Cleveland, where they went to stir up en- thusiasm in the American University. Easter Monday night the citizens tendered the bishop a reception at Epworth Hall, at which addresses were made by W. M. Day, president of the chamber of commerce, and other well-known men. Wednesday, the 24th, a joint reception of Fletcher and Gorsuch churches took place in the former edifice. There were choir ard congregational singing,recttations and read- ings, and addresses by Revs. C. O. Cook and C. W. Baldwin. The Young Men's League of the Ninth Street Christian Church has challenged the League of the Vermont Avenue Church to a game of base ball, date not, as yet, se lected. A temporary altar,secured from St. Mary- Star-of-the-Sea Chuageh, Baltimore, is now in use at St. Paul's Church, but Father Mackin proposes to substitute a fine stone one for it as soon as funds are available. Monday evening Wesley Church Chapter of the Epworth League tendered a reception to the pastors, officers of the District League and chapter officers. At the regular monthly meeting of the Ladies’ Mite Society of Ryland M. E. Church, held at the residence of Mrs. 8. C. Carter, 924 D street southwest, the com- pany was charmingly entertained by sev- eral beautiful vocal and instrumentai solos by the young ladies and gentlemen of the society. One of the features of the enter- tainment was a cornet solo by Mr. Harry White. Faithful Catholics spent yesterday visit- ing the various churches in the city and offering up their prayers before the conse- crated host tnat was displayed upon each of the exquisitely decorated altars. The occasion was the celebration of the dev tions of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which is observed on the first Friday of May. All day the Blessed Sacrament was exposed on the altars, as it is during the forty hours’ devotion, and in the evening the ceremonies closed with the benediction. The services at St. Aloysius Church were particularly, noticeable, and the interior of the edifice was beautifully decorated. Rey. Father William O'Brian Pardow, 8..J., provincial of the New York and Maryland provinces of the Society of Jesus, delivered a sermon remarkable for its eloquence at the evening service. ——.__. BOISE CITYS SPRINGS. Hot Water Piped All Over Town Like Natural Gas. From the Chicago Record. The social center of Boise City is the Natatorium, a fine structure of rich tinted, highly polished redwood that covers a swim- ming pool of natural hot water tempered by a flow of cold, so that its temperature, summer and winter, is always the same. It is one of the finest swimming pools I have ever seen. The dressing rooms that surround it are convenient and commodi- ous, and attached to the institution are a Testaurant, a ball room, several suites of parlors and sitting rooms, handsomely fit- ted up, a billiard room, reading room, smok- ing rooms, &c. Here people with small houses give their dinner parties, receptions and balls, here the social clubs hold their entertainments and here the women and the men meet on common ground, as if It was a club for both genders. It is fashion- eble to bathe, and.there is a teacher to give instructions in swimming, which fur- nishes wholesome exercise and is a health- ful sport, particularly to those who are ailing, for the water is strongly medicinal. The odor of sulphur is apparent as soon as you enter the building. But the towns- People do not mind that; in fact, they do not notice it any more. For many years a group of hot springs about five miles a have been visited curiosities, and to some extent have been utilized by invalids. Fortunately, the water works company ordered an investigation of a marsh just outside of the city where the waters were always warm, and by drilling 404 feet into the rocks they struck a gusher that furnishes daily 1,000,000 gallons of medical water with a temperature of 180 degrees and strongly impregnated with bi- carbonate of soda, chloride of sodium, sil- ica, sulphur and other healing ingredients. This hot water is piped about the city. and into the houses just as the cold water is, and the natural gas down in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and it is used not only for bathing, but for laundry and cooking and heating purposes also. Many of the best houses are entirely heated by passing it through radiating pipes, and-no other hot water is used in the kitchens, except a little warmed in a kettle for washing silver. That 1s necessary, for the natural hot water will turn a silver spoon as black as iron. For a house of eight or ten rooms the charge for hot water is only $100 a year, which includes a sulphur-soda hath for the entire household every morning. One of the effects of the water is to re- move wrinkles and restore complexions that have been impaired by age or the use of cosmetics. It makes the skin soft and smooth and rosy. . ————"+0+. CURING CROSS EYES. This is Now Rendily Performed by the Early Use of Glasses. From the Philadelphia Record. Strabismus, or “cross eyes,” are now safely and almost painlessly corrected. The desired result may be obtained by the wear- ing of proper spectacles in early youth; but if the evil is not then corrected an operation, later on, will be necessary. The removal of a “cataract” from the eye is one of the most delicate operations performed by the oculist. A cataract is formed by the lens of the eye becoming opaque, so as to appear grayish or other- wise, when it shuts out the light from the optic nerve. The oculist of today ¢uts into the ball of the eye and removes the darkened lens, and the optician supplies the defect by artificial lenses that make good the sight. The demand for glass eyes is increasing as the character and quality of the eyes improve. Unsightly eyeballs are now re- moved in part, leaving enough of the mus- cles to rotate the glass shell that is placed over them. Where the work is properly done the possessor of the glass eye can move it about with all the naturalness of a real optic, and in many cases it is very dificult to tell the manufactured article from the genuine. All the wild stories about substituting rabbits’ eyes for human eyes, or the state- ments to the effect that oculists can take eyes from their sockets, wipe them on a coarse towel and restore them unimpaired to the happy patient, are all moonshine, and any one who is called upon to listen to any such tales is perfectly justified if, un- der such circumstances, he should wink the other eye. —___+-e-+—____ HE WAS MAD. This Sparrow Thought a Joke Was Being Played Upon Him. “You never saw such a mad sparrow in your life as the one I saw today,” said Van Tope. “This sparrow was building a nest and he flew down beside a goods box on the pavement, where he found what he probably supposed was a beautiful, straight piece of straw. It happened to be a string, however, and the other end of it was caught on a nail in the box. “But the sparrow wist not that it was so, and he grabbed the end of the string and started gaily away. Of course he soon brought up with a round turn, as the sail- ors say, and found the piece of string jerk- ed away from him. He lit on the ground and then looked around to see what impu- dent and envious sparrow had tackled him for his string. He looked as though he was ready to lick any sparrow in that block who should set claim to his string. After standing around as if daring the other fellow to knock a chip off his shoul- de>, and the other fellow not showing up, he grabbed his string and started off. Again he was yanked back by the strii and when he lit he fairly danced aroun in his wrath. You could just imagine him calling that other sparrow all sorts of names. He hopped around the goods box to find him and lit on the edge to peep in, After waiting a reasonable length of time for his tormentor he started off again and again was thrown down. “This seemed to get te him. He was dead sure some other sparrow was put- ting up a game on him, and you could im- agine him saying that he did rot care so much for the dod-rotted string, but that he hated to be fooled with in this way by somé young bantling of this year’s hatch, ‘Then an idea struck him. He flew off and got Mrs. Sparrow. He told her about the matter, and, after giving her instructions from a neighboring tree, he poste¢ himself on a limb just above the box, and sent Mrs. Sparrow to dally with the string. You could see he wanted the teaser to play his pranks on the old lady, he would be watching him and then would swoop down and just thump the feathers off of that sparrow. I could see him chuckling at th thought of the fun he would have. “The old lady started away with the string, and she, too, was yanked back. Mr. Sparrow was keeping an eye upon her, and when he failed to see the mysterious tormentor appear he was obviously very much surprised. He got down and walk- ed all around the string and scratched his head. Then he got mad and commenced to jaw at Mrs. Sparrow. It was awfully natural. She protested that it was not her fault; had he not himself been treated the same way? Well, with that they both grab- bed hold of the string and started off, but with no better luck than before. Then the Fparrow flew at that string and commenced to worry it. He pecked at it and tugged at it and dragged it around while he got red in the face and used more bad spar- row language, but he could not get away with it. “Finally, Mrs. Sparrow, with female tact, came to the rescue and sald that after all she did not believe that was a good string for their business and they did not want the thing, anyhow. Mr. Sparrow agreed with her and said he believed at first the blamed thing wasn’t any good, but he thought he would take it home for her to see, anyhow. And with that they flew ; It's my opinion there are lots big- ger fools in the world than sparrows. ——__ A Georgia Seene. From the Atlanta Constitution. Here is a true picture of life in the rural districts. An old lady from Rockdale, with har children, went to Sunday school in Covington. After school Brother Rosser assisted in hitching her steer, “Buck,” to the wagon, and, getting on the “wrong side’ of the beast, it fired away and kicked the breath out of the superintendent, who groaned aloud. The old lady rushed to his essistance and exclaimed: “You ding fool, what did you git on that side of Buck for? You mought ‘er knowed he’d ‘er kicked the stuffin’ out of you. Don’t you know that Buck ain't erquainted with town folks with store clothes on?” After that she hitched Buck to the wagon without any help from Brother Rosser,
