Baltimore, May '.). Bishop Wes loy J. Gaines, of Georgia, who haB been presiding over the conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church here has attracted much at tention by his quaint and effective Oratory. One of hia ways of calling conference together was this: "Get together, boys! Get togeth er! And some of you fellows had better drop those long faces you're carrying around here. "Why isn't it just as easy to smile as to weep? One of the incidents of the general election was that a large number of persons received one vote each. To a laugh which greeted one of these lonesome votes the Bishop said: "Never mind, boye: I've known many a horse that was away behind in the back stretch to come out first under the wire. The advice of the bishop to hia ministers to be alive iu the pulpit created a profound impression. "Ginger up, boye! Get lively aim at the moon, even if you can't hit it- Never go into the pulpit unless you are prepared to preach. It is said that if you open your mouth wide God will fill it. He will with wind. The Bishop iu one of his short sermons paid his respects to the preachers helpmeets the wives. "You women,"' he said cut cunning capers before you catch the man of your choice. You crimp up and gimp up and manage to look too just too sweet for anything, and no wonder a man thinks to himself, 'Why that's the only woman a man can love.' Then when you get you a man do you keep on looking sweet? Not by a good deal. Many of you allow yourself to get slipshod and slouchy, and I dare eay a man begins to wonder after a while what he ever saw in you iu the first place." Invest Your Change. A silver quarter is about as much as some people care to invest in medicine for immediate use. Spend this sum for a package of Simmons Liver Regulator, powder. It's the woman's friend --cures sick headache in the right way, aud quickly, too; jast as good for biliousness. All Armed. O. T.,-May 0 From As- Terry, : sistaut United States j Hoffman, who has just Attorney returned from Washington County, O. T., where court is being held, The j Chronicle correspondent learns of a terrible state of affairs.

Everybody has taken sides in "the killing and the Court-house is filled with armed men-, and a riot is feared every hour.

Ex-Congressman Richard P Bland of Mis sour, who will lecture in Denver next Saturday nignt on "The Twen ty Years' Battle for Silver, and the Eight Yet to Come," is resting quiet ly in thi3 city, as he is suffering from the effects !of the grip. He said today: "I have not heard of the efforts of my friends in St. Louis in the way of securing for me the nomination for President by the free silver Democrats in 1S9G. In fact, 1 do not think that I am the proper man to select. In my public life I have never made a fight to get personal advantage for myself Especially is this true in the silver cause. I have fought for the cause itself. Iu do ing so I have made too many enemies among my Democratic friends for me to be an available candidate. Rather than try to make friends and build up for myself a political future I tried to advance the cause I advo cated. This has made me less avail able as a candidate than many others. There are plenty of good men in the ranks who would have exeater strenth than I. I have tried to keep the Democrats stirred up during my terms of office, and I feared I suc ceeded a little too well to expect success in a Presidential canvass.' If Mrs. Lease is to be believed Ex-Governor Lewelling, of Kansas, is a thrifty fellow. He is worthy specimen of your good, honest,every day Populist. The Governor took a contract to furnish butter to the Topeka asylum. The Ex-Governor billed it to the asylum as "star creamery butter, and Mrs. Lease says that 298 pounds of it was "rot ten as soap grease." The record shows that Gov. Lewelling charged the State 23 cents per pound for these 29S pounds. At the time first clasB creamery butter was on an average worth 20 ceuts a pound, while country butter such as the Governor furnished, in good condi tion, was worth from 10 to 12 cents. Clinton Democrat. Vlmt She Wanted. The Suda Hardware Co., of Louis iana, offered a complete cooking out fit free to auy couple who would get married in their window, and the only answer thus far received is from a Hannibal girl who said that if the firm would offer a whole outfit of parlor, bed room, dining room and sleepiug room furniture, curtains, carpets aud a piano, and kitchen pots, pans, kettles, refrigerators, gridiorns, flour chest and ash buck ets, she and her fellow would con sider the offer, but otherwise times were too hard to marry. Ex. Hot in Torieka. Topeka, Kan., 3Jay 9. People in Topeka suffered to-day because of the heat. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the reliable thermometer registered 90 degrees above zero. The '-oldest inhabitants" say that this has been the hottest first week in May since 18S7 when it was 97 degrees above on the 8th, inst. The reason for the extreme heat, Sergeant Jeunings of the weather bureau says, is the low barometer extending from Colo rado to the great lakes, causing a warm wind from the south across Kansas When Bab? was sick, e give her Castorta.
