K w'i V PASTOR MHI1 H BY STAG E PEMiKS "Dot, A Miner's Daughter, or a Olass of Wine" Wins Vote Against Saloon Where Preaching Foiled. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 11. Rev. N. C. Deckot, pastor of a pros perous church at Galveston, Cass County, has brought the stage and tho church together in an effort 'to reach sinners, and lias succeeded so well that other Northern Indiana pastors aro studying his methods with a vlow to applying them In their own work. Tho first step was tho organization of a dramatic club, and Itev. Becket, his wlfo and daughter enrolled their names as members. To conllno tho membership to church members or communicants or even to church goers would, tho pastor thought, fall In accomplishing his purpose, for It was tho outsider, tho men and women tho boys and girls, not Identified with Christian work that ho was after. Any person who had a taste for theatricals was invited to become a member. Hoped for Religious Results. With the formation of the club and the purchase of stago scenery tho pas tor further outlined his purpose. He said tho club would fill a natural desire for amusement, but at tho NAPOLEON'S ESTI As a Result of the Ijuto Publication, German Frnus Have Undertaken A Campaign to Effuse War rior's Name from Fame Roll. BERLIN, Jan. 8. Men who have busts of Napoleon Bonaparte in their studies will have to watch theso art treasures closely to save them, as tho German women have decided that Napoleon's namo shall be obliterated. Their dislike of tho Consul It not duo meroly to the fact that ho led thou sands of sons of weeping mothers to death, but rather to a booklet just published in Germany, in which Na poleon's views on women are quoted. The booklet Is entitled "Tho Voice of the Great." Here are some of the re marks which stirred tho German women: "Women are our property. We are not theirs. They give us children and not we them. They aro our possessions as tho tree bearing fruit Is the possession of tho gardener. West Spoils Its Women. ' "Wo nations of the west do not understand how to deal with women. We spoil them by treating them too nicely. "I find It absurd that man, becauso BOY HOBO TRAVELS AROUND THE WORLD Thirteen Year Old William Bierdorff Reaches Tacoma After Crossing Continent on Drake Rods. TACOMA, Jan. 11. To have work ed his way around tho world and "ho boed it" from New York to San Fran cisco and then to Tacoma is tho re markable record of William Bior- droff, a diminutive 13-year-old or phan whose parents were once people of comfortable means residing In Centralla. Bierdorff applied at the police sta tion tho other night for lodging. He was shivering with cold and looked hungry. Ho told Police Captain Olson about his parents' death three years ago and about his wanderings since that tlmo. Ho went to Australia on a windjammer and returned on tho steamship Germanicus, landing In San Francisco a few weeks ago. Ho went broke in San Francisco and rode tho brako rods to Tacoma. Not a word of complaint passed the gritty little fellow's lips, and when ho was offered money for a supper ho said with evident effort: "Oh, that's all right: I'll just wait till morning. I won't bo hungry after I get to sleep, and then in tho morning I will bo ablo to earn my breakfast." Resume Work on Street Contrac tor Burns has resumed work on the Improvements to Broadway street ex tending to North Marshfleld with a large force of men and a steam grador. The fine weather of tho present week has enabled him to make great headway with tho im provements to this street, which will be one of tbo most important thor oughfares when completed. WB same tlmo its efforts should be in the direction of the moral", tho religious and the elevating things of life. For months Uev. Mr. Becket had been making a fight against tho saloons, but many of tho voters held aloof and refused to sign a remon strance. The dramatic club then pro duced "Arthur Eustace, or, A Moth er's Love," on tho stago in its first and one of Us most successful efforts. When the voters witnessed the fall oT young Eustaco because his father had rented a building for a saloon over tho protest of the wife and mother, public sentiment was revolutionized and there was a stampede of voters to tho minister's house to sign the remonstrance against tho saloon. Another Temperance Drama. "Dot, a Miner's Daughter; or A Glass of Wine," was- another drama that was presented with much suc cess by tho club and which went far to confirm the temperance sentiment and fix tho little town irrevocably in its antagonism to the saloon. The club has made a financial as well as a moral or religious record. The stage and stage settings have all been paid for, and a few days ago tho club purchased a piano and presented it to the church. Other ministers are looking a tho work and In other towns tho stago Is to bo made an adjunct to the church. of a law, Bhall bo permitted to have only ono wife. "Who does not know that the only way to be a conqueror In love Is to run from women before It is too late? "Should princesses love? They aro merely political merchandise. "The most beautiful women, to mo, are those which we can get with the most difficulty. "Greatness has Its penalties. Queens cannot go to the places where ordinary women go." Educate Them to Work. On the education of women Napol eon is quoted: "I would not educate women to bo fashion plates, nor society dames, and not oven heads of households. I would educate them to bo the real housewives. By this I mean I would teach them to do everything in the household as poor women do. In such households the mother is tho real head of tho home. "It is not good to tell young girls that they are pretty. In this way tho passionate and vain sides of their na tures are awakened too early. They will learn theso things without any outside aid. "Women understand how to dress well only when they know how to make their own dresses?' TO COIN NO MORE , NEW TWENTIES. St. Gaudens' Design Abandoned No Return of In God Wo Timt. NEW YORK, Jan. 11. A Washing ton special to a New York paper says tho last of the St. Gaudens $20 pieces has been struck off. Mint Director Leach said: "Wo had to change the dio after tho first 8000 were struck off. It was found that the high, rough edge was toevsubject to abra sion, so wo milled' tho edge. Then complaints camo in that tho figure of Liberty was so high that tho coins would not stack, so wo changed tho dlo again. "Then somo ono said that if wo continued to designate the dates by. Roman numerals thero would not be room for them after awhile: On that wo again changed the dio and put In Arabic numerals. That left St. Gaudens' design a whole lot disfig ured. Wo had decided to abandon tho old dio entirely, but demands for the original coin became so numerous wo let it work for a time, but no more St. Gaudens' coins will bo minted."

To Step Down From the Water Wagon for Just a Second. BRANDY 150 YEARS OLD A Bottle of the Vintage of 1757 Is Found In Ransacking Garret of Ancestor's Home. NEW YOR.K, Jan. 11. Subtle scents suggesting tho sunlit vine yards of France, from which it Is supposed to have como 150 years ago, hang In lingering affection about tho neck of a bottle of brandy which was brought to light by It. W. Dry don, who has been ransacking tho garret of his ancestors. Tho bottle was found in a box of selected pine which had been put together with screws and elaborately sealed. Tho receptacle bore the stencil marks on its lid "Lewis M. Cowels, Esq., Baltimore, Md., 1757." When tho cover was removed, the bottle, which holds about a quart, was found wrapped In newspaper bearing the date of February C, 1804. There was an old fashioned label with a red border on It, on which was set forth that the contents 'froro "Old French Brandy of 1757. Presented to tho sanitary fair by II. J. do Pyster." The bottl" Lad boon purchased by a relative of Mr. Dryden at the fair, which was organized to raise funds tor the soldiers wounded In the civil war. Tho cork was surrounded by a cockade of pink ribbon, and around tho neck was a band of green fringe, which, low descending, swept tho bot tle's aged breast. Mr. Dryden took the box to the cafe of Emil Struover, at 87G Broad way, where it was placed In tho win dow for exhibition. Several offers have been made for tho bottle, but tho highest, $250, has been refused, the owner declaring that he would not think of disposing of such an heirloom. Brandy bearing the date of a cent ury ago is offered on menus In this city and London merchants quote it. Mr. Dryden has not yet decided whether he will sample the brandy. Tho bottle is locked In a safe every night. MISS MYRA'S TONGUE ACnE-5. Talked Too Much? No, No; Licked Too Many Postage Stamps. WINSTED, Conn., Jan. 8.
