MIRACLE WHEAT HUMBUG Pastor Russell Seeking Profit for Himself, Says Rev. McPherson. "Miracle wheat la a fad and a hum bug, and Is being exploited more for personal gain than anything else," said Rev, Charles T. McPherson In his ser mon yesterday morning; on "The Mira cles, Words and Thoughts of Jesue." He preaohed for the first time In the new Trinity Methodist Episcopal par sonage at 18C Hemlock street In Ladd's addition. About 35 members of the newly-organized church were present Rev. Mr. McPherson was transferred to this charge by Bishop Smith last week. "It la Impossible to perform a miracle In raising wheat" declared Mr. Mc Pherson. "Wheat grows by a natural process, and It Is unnatural to suppose that It can be raised other than by a natural process. The sale of this "miracle wheat' Is only & plan on the part of Pastor Russell to enrich him self. That was the plan of John Alex ander Dowls, and it is the plan of Pastor Russell. Only Ignorant and ill Informed people are Induced to join them.

CLEANLINESS FIRE CAUSE Painter Howse Washes Garments In Benzine and Smokes. Because he washed his overalls In bensine and smoked his pipe at the same time, M. H. Howse, a painter, liv ing at 192 Union avenue, had the fire department called to extricate him from the predicament In which he found himself. In the course of the week's work Howse had accumulated numerous paint spots on his garments, and be ing somewhat fastidious, he elected to spend part of his rest day in furbish ing them up. With that purpose in view, he soaked the garment liberally In the volatile fluid. Then the hunger for a smoke came upon him and he filled his pipe and scratched a match. "Puff" went the circumambient at mosphere. Fire broke out all over the shop. A solicitous neighbor saw the exnjoslon and pulled the alarm box. Howse, however, was not Injured, and after he recovered from his scare, went about extinguishing the firehim- self. He had It all out when the ap paratus arrived. The overalls were not miurea.
