He seems 1o be suffering from a strange malady. On every subject but one he seems to be as rational as anyore and in his ordinary con- versation he shows no signs of anything wrong. But on the subject of Odd Fellow- ship ho is as mad asa hatter, as ho has con- ceived the notion thut the Odd Fellows all | over the country and especially in his neighborhood, have been plotting aguinst hislife.

In it he begins by saying that he thought it best to leave some record in writiug, in or- | der that if he should be found suddenly missing or found dead his chiluren might know that he had been killed, and that it was Charley Bartley and his father, Henry, wlio were responsible for the veed. Both thoe Bartleys are neighbors of his and the 804 is & member of the order of which he has concefved such a violent distrust.

He further says that the Bartleys have told him that nothing that the Odd kellows ay do will ever result in their punishment, for they have money to fight and will uot liesitate to use it in the courts.

A greater part of tho contents were also de- stroyed, und the officer and his little 3-year- old girl baby badly burned. The fire caught from a gasoline stove. The family had been away from home during the afternoon, and Mr. Easdale's brother and another young man who boards there had pre- pared themselves & lunch, using tho gasoline stovo. After turning 1t out they left one of the burners open, and about ail the fluid in the reservoit ran through this and dripped into the pan bo- neatn. When Mr. Easdale came in he sat his baby down in the kitchen and started to light the stove. not noticing that anything was wrong. The instant he lighted a match & sharp oxplosion took place, tud the whole room was fllled with flame. 'He was badly singed by the first flash, but got outside be- fore being severely burned, but he heard bis cnild screaming inside’ and instantly plunged back into the flames to rescue her. ~ After groping about on the floor for some time he found her and carried her out, The blazing oil by this time had communi- cated the fire to all parts of the house and attracted the attention of the neighbors, The building located outside the fire limits and it was fifteen minuces before an alarm could ve turned in and nearly half an hour before the chemical and a hook and ladder team arrived. In the meantime neighbors had carried out a part of vhe furniture and stood around and watched tho building burn to the ground. Oficer Easdale and his baby had fa the meantime been taken to the residence of J. I, Hunt, the milkman, where Dr. Burstow called to see him.' He was found to bo efully burned about the face and hands, hair was burned off nearly to the scalp d his cars burned almost to a crisp, ‘Ihe poor little baby's face and hands were one sohd blister. not a particlo of the ex. posed flosh escaping.

IN CAMP, GRAND LaAkE, Colo., Aug. 11.— [Special Correspondence. |—The present de- pression in Colorado has at least given a great many people who have hitherto pleaded no time to devote to rod and gun a chance to avail themselves of camp life in the many attractive spots in the mountains. Camping and a plentiful supply of game and angling for the wary trout in somo cool mountain retreat is not only more pleasur- able, but decidedly cheaper than idling in some mining camp or dusty town waiting “micawberlike” for something to turn up. In cousequence thousands this year have availed thewselves of the opportunity and a perfect exoaus of all manner of outfits laden with camp equipage have passed through Clear Creck canon enroute to Middle and Egeria parks, the Mecea of hunters and angiers. 1t is & common ex- ssion, that every one in the mining dis- who has the necessary wherewith to purchase a suck of flour and a side of bacon lave taken themselves, “bag and baggage,” over the range. “The rush is infeetious, and a good supply of provender and u complete campiug outlit and under the leadership of Mr. Fred Wilson of Idaho Springs, who knows the Rockies by heart, “we bid fare- well to civilization and the endless talk of free coinage,” and headed for “he continental divide, our objective point being Grand lake, where the fishing was said to be particuiarly good. g Let me say right here. that the tou ist who views the rugged scenery of the Rockies from a car window in reality sees very little of their beautics.

J, Mackay Delivers an Interesting Sermon on the Subject. Mackay, rector of All Saints' chureh, took the theme for his aiscourse lust evening from the prevailing blue aspacs of business and financial matters, and gave his congregation a helpful sermon on *Dark Days und the Remedy.” He took as a text the following Psalm Ixxiii, 1, Isruel, eve Surely God Is good to Lo'such as are pure in heurt. But 48 fOF e, iy (600 WOro ultost gone, my stops had well nigh slipped, After dwelling at some length on the sub- ject, the eminent divine concluded his excel- lent sermon with a practical illustration of the habit of some business men to place god - liness secondary to wealth getting. He said, in par “'Our successful business men are not, as a rule, men whom we regard as examples of godliness. 'The great capitalists of the world are not men noted for their love of God, and yet the world must have improved since the psalmist's duy, for these men aro not wicked men. They'are simply godless men—men whom business and speculation Lave hardenca until their hearts have be- come frozen tosthe noblest influences of all true life. As their vossessions increase their hearts grow smaller, and the saying of Jesus is fully exemplificd today in the life of the rich. How hurdly shail they that bave riches enter into the kingdom of heaven?' And had the Psalmist continued in the same frame of mind, ho would have yielded to tho voice of the tempter, and cast in his lot with those whom he saw living in such prosper- ity. As long s he thought upon it, it was a 1o him. It was a great troubleor weariness laid upon him, until he went into the sanctuary of God—until he considercd nd, He does not follow them into the next world, he vocs not try to sce beyond the grave, but they die—that is cuough—they " die." What if they do liy to a good old age, and die immensely thy they die for all that. {15 the hope and portion of the right- cous now. d is their life, and those that have not that hove, that deliberately put the life of God away 'from them must p ish. Not because (iod wants them to per- ish. Oh!mo. 1t is_thoir own act. They havo no one to blame hut themselves. They are like men who. able to bask in tho sun's life-giving rays, shutout its light by living in a darkened room. ~When will our worldly men realize thist That etornal lifo is u present life in the soul, and that eternul lifeis synonymous with gooducss, puri truth and a life of active usefulness in this present fleeting world. -~ . When will our business men realize there is something else than-money making 1n this world? When such wven ask, *Of what use is church going?' let us weply: *No use a¢ ull 1f you make uo use of ik If it does not make You think of the vaulty of the life you aro now leading; if it does not cause you to re- alize that you are more than a noble ani- mal; if itdoes not kead you to feel that you are have an immortabsoul, church goiug is of little, if any, use. “1 knew of & man named Connar who car- | ried in his breast in place of his hearta schedule of Wall street quotatioas, with everything marked ata certuin valuation, including God. iod showers his wealth on the just and on the unjust, as he does his sunshine and rain. It would be as presumptuous for a farmer to say that God bad blessed only his fleld with fruitful showers, as for & mav to say that his riches are an evidence of God’s special favor.
