To do away with tho "old-tlmo" boll ring Ing as a summons for churchgoers at night, which ho thinks annoys tho 111 and infirm near tho church, a Brook lyn paBtor has conceived the novel Idea of flashing a poworful Bearch- llght from tho bolfry. Tho rfearch light will bo placod 200 feet from tho ground, on the splro of tho First Reformed church, In Brooklyn. It will throw its rays at a flxod time oforo tho services bogln, and tho flashing, will contlnuo during the church hours to attract tho tardy and backsliders. Tho Rev. James Farrar, pastor of ' tho church, said that tho light would ho put in plnco at onco. PORTLAND, Jan. 11. When Glavis arrived In Portland yesterday afternoon he carried a big suitcase and 'all tho pleadings of porters and busmen were not enough to mako him loosen his grasp on It for a mo ment. That ho might keep his grip on tho suitcase he walked to tho ho tol. When ho left for Washington this morning ho was still carrying tho case. Not until Glavis was nearly ready to go was the secret of his jealous care of tho suit case rovealcd. It was filled with bulky manuscript ev idence which ho expects to uso when called before tho congressional In vestigating commlttco to tell what ho knows of tho controversy Involv ing Richard A. Balllnger, secretary of tho intorlor, In connection with alleged Alaska coal lands frauds. Glavis, it appears, did not go to White Salmon for fishing or hunting as was said.

C. I.

This is tho enso in which tho dis trict attorney wns accused of having mndo unkind allusions to tho scars dofemlnut had received while n sol dier in the federal nnny. Mr. Mulkoy donies having mndo thoso allusions. Ho states: "Judge Colvig, in bis speech beforo tho jury, assumed that tho prosecuting attor ney bnd alluded to a soldier's Hears and procooded thereafter in n bril linnt address sarcastically criticised any one who would refer disparag ingly to those honored scars. Tho district attorney said nothing about scars and nothing that could be con strued into such n statement. Skill in building up a 'straw man' and tear ing him down is n rnrt? quality. Stirh work gives opportunity for oratory, but in this enso it did not seenro the acquittal of the defendant."

BANGOR. Mo., Jan. 11. A. J. Farwell, n draughtsman of 142 nonry street, Brooklyn, claims to have es tablished a record for microscopic handwriting in a recent contest of Greenwich, Conn., his prizewinning exhibit being 13,170 words on tho bnck of nn ordinnry postal enrd. Mr. Farwcll's work does not compare in minuteness with that of Rila Kitt redgo of Belfast, Mo., who died re cently at tho age of 02 years, ho hav ing written 40,000 words on n postil card of tho ordinary size. To crowd tho Lord's rayer eight times upon a spaco no larger than n 5-cent pieco wns easy for Itila Kitt redge. Ho wrote tho whole of tho Now Testament, over 181,000 words, on four ordinnry postal cards, nnd put one of resident McKinley's mes sages on one postal card. All of Mr. Kittrodgo's work was done with an ordinary stool pen, nnd at tho ago of 87 ho did some of bis very best examples, having at that timo a clear eyo prd a steady hand Ho novor used magnifying glasses or any other aid, wearing ordinary spectacles bouRht in a local jowel lor's shop.

Mr. Egnn la in Wash ington on sixty days' leave of nnsonco and ho will return to his post In Copenhagen on Fob. 17. Minister Egnn met tho presldont at tho Whlto House, nnd tho presl dont said ho thought that Amorlca had como out of tho Cook affair vory woll. At tho stato department It was; said that no Intimation has been ro colvod that Mr. Egan Is no grata at Coponhagon. and that tho depart ment has no criticism to mako of his action in tho Cook rccoptloru It was remarked that tho Crown Prince of Donmnrk took tho Inltln tlvo in wolcomlng Dr. Cook whon ho nrlvcd from tho north with tho an nouncomont that ho had reached tho polo, and that, therefore thoro wns nothing for Mlnlstor Egan to do ex cept to act aB sponitor for his coun tryman. Tho only possibility that Mr. Egan will not return to Copenhagen lies in tho fact that ho may bo appointed librarian of congress.
