THE NEW EASTER BONNETS.

"Wonderfully in. torestinx la the citjr thcua days. The hops are in full sprint? blossom, and tho luxuriance and the trillianco of tho flowcrinjj increases from morning until afternoon and from evening onto morning. Hero is a milliner who has made of her show window a boudoir all hung with peach-bloom silk right daintily. Hero U another who has turned hers into a pardon, whore buds of bonnets expand into full-blown bats on tho branches of lilacs And acacia trees. The panorama rhlfts from mlnuto to minute; frock lucceeda to frock and ribbon to ribbon almost before tho ever-moving throng of promenaders has had a fair tiew. The parasol whoso filmy clouda of gauze caught your fancy in tho morning has had a dozen successors, each raoro diaphanous than tho last, before you pass a second time on your homeward way in the afternoon. There is jet and jet, and. still thero is jet hourly; faceted jet that catches the lijrht and ects it dancing. A woman was trying on a bonne, this morning before a mirror. It wus ft bonnet of smooth gold braid or a new galloon shaped in the liketiews of a rcpal crown. "Jewels" of jet wm embroidered upon it thickly. She held her head erect, and the figure in tho glaw dimpled back at her. A pleam of sunshine came through a window; it struck the jewels and they blazed; she moved her head and the broken lights in the mirror were dazzling. All this was not pood tato a year apo, but it is not now ucctbsary to be quiet to be in good form. There are Mower bat., though it ! paid that later in the poncon the jewels will push tliem hopelessly and helplessly into the back-ground. A typo vt tho (lower fashion is a hat of Mack point de gnzo, Caring od the facu a littl and with odd bands and turninp". Velvi t violets aro tufted here and there over it and long trails of violets fa 1 in front ami aro gathered under the chin for KtrinirH. At one of yesterday's receptions I noted a bonnet of peachy velvet worn by a t.ili, peachy-cheeked girl. I never, I think, saw the hues of a fabric match the tint of tho faco so perfectly. Under the bonnet scaped in front fluffy brown curia, and among tho curls three plump peaches were resting. At the back of the bonnet were four or five more peaches with sprigs f leaves. Fruit bonnets are things to bo avoided with a very careful avoidance, but this peachy girl was pretty under theso downy spheres. On all the millinery ono sees snakes. There are gold snakes, jet snakes and snakes of silver. Snakes coil themselves to strike, enakes glide through the underbrush of buttercup and valley lilies, snakes wreath themselves and bak in their sunny situation, snakes climb for the view up aigrettes of lace formed of upStanding pieatins. Bonnets for dress occasions are made in one case out of three of nothing more than the triple classic band. This may be of jet, or it may be of gold braid or it may bo of folded ribbons. The band is tied in the back with erect bows and through the knots are drawn flowers. Thero are fillets of pinky red ribbon that aro very effective in this way with one great rose for garniture. Others in black are at once de icate and striking with lace aigrettes and pold and purple or brown and gold orchids. The large hats aro even larger than com mon and often most fantastic with enormous bows and equally large bunches of flowers. Gray and yellow, in the smoke and flame shades, one m?cts constantly. They make most wierdly picturesque and harmonious combinations. The bridemaidj at a recent wedding were in gray silk with flame yellow sashes anil waistcoats of yellow crepe de chine. Their hnts were gray tulle with a yellow metal edge and long ends of yellow metal ribbon hanging. Gray and pink is pretty, if less daring. It is equally popular at weddings. One of the fairest bndemaids of the season wore r-ilver gray cloth with coral panel and gray Medici collar lined with" coral. Her sleeves with puff of coral were covered with gray passementerie. Iler hat, with its coral velvet crown, had a band of gray velvet and a bunch of gray tips behind. The cuiraes bodices produce startling effects at receptions and in theater boxes. A dres of the steely gray of armor worn with a bold crimson cuirass was before my eyes all that evening and sent mo home to dream troublously of wars, and rumors of wars. It spoke loudly of drums and martial parades. Beside it was a toilette that should have proved quieting. It. too, was of gray, a soft greenish, whitish gray, over which trailed and splashed seaweeds. It was a frock for the seaside, piazza, with moonlight to silver misty outlines. Mars were not lacking, for at no great distance was a dusky brown gray frock studdled by way of border with jet luminaries. It would be making a metaphor go on all fours to compare its "Frenchy" Louis XIV casaque to the mantle night, and yet assuredly it was sprinkled with points that shone. On a head of ehort, straight, dark hair rested a capote of jet plates with a greenish gray feather. The flowered silks are among the prettiest things that are shown to delight the spring, tfomo of them reproduce quaint old medLoval patterns. Over a soft ivory satin ground climbs a silvery lattice work, and acroHs this stray faint-h'ued roRfs full of old world grace and nentiment. This is sixteenth century and Venetian. Flowers are drawn small and oitcn rather prim, as on the silks that generations ago our mothers used to delight in. Sometimes they are curiously spotted and mottled. Frocks for the after Latter dances are beiug made of creamy chitTon, with knots of tiny rosea or valley lilies sustaining their festnons. reaths of roses circle white shoulders and girdles of the royal liower are looped about elenoer waists. Dress is very smart on the afternoon pa rades. Oeorgia Cavyan was out yesterday in a pale-gray frock and jacket, braided with cold and silver galore. Her trim lit tie toque had the same garniture, and over It a large crimson bird epreaa its wings. A frock of ligtt Hue, with stripes of yel low of a soft, rough make, like a swan skin, was very noticeable. A black satin swept the pavement, and over it were dotted violets, pimpernel and other spring blossoms. Jt had a jetted girdle, and where the ekirt opened at tho side ono saw an undergown of the most delicate heliotrope. A white cloth frock that crossed the sidewalk from a carriage was rut with long jacket and clinging ekirt in the Louis XV stvle. It had a brocade waistcoat, lace sleeve nifties and at the throat a white lace jabot. The hat was white felt with lily of the vallev trails. A brocade after which eyes were turned was of yellow daffodils on black. A quieter i rock was of the new color, ' cedar wood. striped in small floral designs. A finiplo but unique costume was of brown cheviot and silk, the bodice crossing transversely from above the right shoulder to below

the left arm in three scallops overlapping

THE GUTENB6RQ BIBLE. A Itars Old Treasure oa I'.ihlMtloa at CI' I'M go. ("hloepn r'retilns TV. Tho Gutenberg bible U hero. Tho two leather-bound, brans trimmed volumes in closed in a glam enoo aro among tho other nrt treasures at the Art institute. Tho biblo will remain hero indefinitely, it being tho desire of the owner to enable the greatest posniblo number of people to ! what Is really one of tho greatest ol art treasures a-ilo from the associations It possesses with tho learned and the good of past ages. One of tho volumes is closed so as to show the heavy leather binding and the ponderous brats bosses, to which, un doubtedly, the excellent preservation of the binding is in large part due. The other volume is open at Martin Luther's favorite psalm, the forty-sixth, which begins with the words in the Lnglish version: "Our Iod is a very pres ent help in time of trouble ; there will we not fear, though tho earth bo removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sua." It is on this pHnim that Martin Luther's ringing hymn "Kin I'este I'.urg ist Unser Gott" is founded, a hymn thai has been translated into almost every language in tho world. Tho two pnavs of tho book that lie open give an excellent idea of the whole character of tho work as uu example of tho art of printing. The typo is the block letter f:othio character, very largo. The imprint a perfectly clear and even. The two columns on each page are separated, not by a line, as in modern work., but by a wide space, a third us wid as margins on either side The first letter of the psalm is an illuminated capital, beautifully done in elegant shades of green and gold. Along the inner margin of the page and at the bottom are conventionalized flowers and plants and a picture of a man dressed in nkins attacking a fierce-looking lion with a club. Tim colors are delicate shades of purple, green and gold and look as bright and frrsu as if they had just cotno from the limner's brush. On the lefr-hand page as the book lies open three lines of the la.t column are in manuscript done in red ink, but in the same sizo and style of character as tho im print. Une cannot look at theso two volumes and notice the care and thoroughness with whieh every detail of the work about them is done without feeling that old John Gutenberg of Mainz was a man who put his conscience in his work. No woniler the book has been reverently preserved and that its pages now are as clean and untarnished as when they first camo from that quaint and clumsy press on which they were printed. The book arrived yesterday afternoon by rxpreps from New York, packed up with all the care that could be bestowed on one of tho most precious things in tho world. Tho insurance on it might have been the ransom of a prince in the days when the work was printed. Early this morning it wa.s taken to the Art institute. Tho fait that it was thero soon became known, and before noon a lanre number of people interested in works and treasures ot that kini had called to Feo it. Considered a work of nrt it is peculiarly appropriate that it thould be placed in the Art institute. WIDOW BAILEY AND HER PISTOL. A Trump Who Clot linpmlrnt Was Invited Out, and He Went. Widow Mary I'.ailey, w ho dwells by herself in a lonely houne in the outskirts of Chester village, went into her bedroom to co to bed tho other night, says the Philadelphia Tdejroph, set her lamp on a table, glanced at the window, and saw an uglylooking fare glaring at her through a pane.1 ihe picked up the lamp, returned to the kitchen, threw open the door, and called: "What do you want?'' Thereat the owner of the face at the window, a burly tramp, advanced to the door and strode into the house. "What do you want?" asked the woman in a resolute tone. "I uant something to eat," was tho reply, "and I wunt it right off", too." Whereupon Widow Bailey stepped into an adjoining room, returned in a moment with a big revolver that was cocked, lifted it to her eye. sighted it at the tramp, and said tersely : " You get out !" The tramp made a feint to bluster, but evidently didn't fancy the black muzzle of the weapon that confronted him, and he backed out of the house, saying, "I'll bo back here later with inv gang and do you up." Mrs. Bailey locked tho door, set tho lamp on tho table near her, took a seat at her kitchen window, and waited several hours for her appointment with "the gang." Finally, at about, midnight, the tramp returned and undertook to sot tiro to tho house, but Mrs. I'.ailey opened a window, thrust a pistol across the window-ledge, and invited her visitor to retire again. He retired. Mrs. Bailey is now famous in tho whole river valley. Ifer Momentous Question.

Of course you laugh. Neverthe less it is a fact." Tho pi'ker,sayi tho I'ittfiburg Ditpatch, was a seedydooking tramp, unshaven and with bleary eyes, but with an intelligent face and soft bunds which might have been white had they be-?n washed. Ho was an applicant for lodging at tho Central station last niuht and was addressing Inspector McAleese. "My name is James White, or rather I travel under that incognito," ho continued. "Well," said tho inspector, "tell mo something about yourself and your hypnotic power. I am rather Interested in hypnotism." The seedy stranger pulled out a packago of rice paper and a few grains of tobacco and deftly rolled a cigarette. Then he borrowed a light, and, taking a seat on the old iron safo in tho corner of tho sta tion house, began his story: "I was born in Hartford, Conn., fortyflvo years ago. It makes no difference who my parents were; they aro dead now. My father was well-to-do, and, whllo ho had succeeded in building up a fortuno on the fouedation of a country school education, he was determined that I should have all tho advantages of a first-clais education. My schoolboy days were liko tboso of most American youths. I played truant to go smiuiming, had narrow escapes from drowning, participated in a few fights with my playmates, but went to Sabbath school, and, in fact, was no dif ferent from my fcllows.whoaro today millionaires, mechanics, statesmen, jurists, and perhaps: a few, liko mvself, tramps. W hen eighU'cn years old 1 was sent to Harvard. My father was liberal in his al lowance and I got about all tho fun there was in college life. At that time I found I possessed considerable inlluenco over my fellow students and wih tho assuranco of a cal ow youth I attributed it to my un deniable superiority. Just then the sub ject of mesmerism was agitating the country. The old-fashioned people in the Kast shunned tho subject, believing it was onlv another machination of his satanic majesty to lead folks astray. Perhaps they were right, but their opinion only lent addttional charm to it in our eves, who, although none of us had arrived at man s estate, considered onrsolves tho foremost thinkers of tho world. "It soou became evident that I pos sessed to a wonderful degree the mesmeric or hypnotic power, and my control over some ot my lellow students was something startling. IUit vou have read of the com moner forms of hvpnotic phenomena, and it is needless to go into dotail. Une day, however, shortly before an examination, I discovered that I possessed tho hypnotic power beyond all precedent We had been having a mesmeric seance in my room in which I had shono as brightly as ever, and at its conclusion I went to my tutor's room. I knocked at the door, was bade to enter, and walked in. Several of the tutors were there preparing tho paper for the coming evamination. When I walked in I noticed a startled look on the faces of those present. "'Did not some ono knock at the door?' asked one. " 'Yes,' replied another, 'and the door opened, but I saw no one enter.' 'Perhaps some of the students are endeavoriiig to make up for lack of study by listening to our conversation,' said another. "My tutor got up and walked toward the door in front of which I stood. He did not appear to see me and had I not moved out of tho way would have walked over me. I stepped aside; he looked out of the door, closed it, and, coming back, said: 'It must have been the wind.' "I stood in the room for a few moments, and then I suddenly realized that I was invisible to thoso present. In a moment 1 was aghast. 'Perhaps,' I thought, 'my soul ha left its tenement.' I pinched myself with satisfactory results, and rinding that I could see m"y form in a mirror, arrived at the conclusion that I had simply reached an advanced stage cf hypnotism and had hypnotized every person in the room. "I was not slow in taking advantage of my invisibility and made copies of tli9 examination papers together with the answers to the problems. Then I left unseen. Tho next day I went to my classmates and, after enjoining them to secrecy, gave them copies of these papers. For the time being none of us thought of studying; we were too sure of our ability to pass an examination. When tho examination day arrived the professors were surprised at the perfection of our papers, and all would have been well had not the professor of mathematics made a discovery. When preparing his problems ho made a mistake in solving one. This he did not discover until I had copied the paper. This mistako was bo transparent that tho dullest scholar would have discovered it had ho attempted to reconcile tho answer to the question. An investigation was at once commenced and tho whole class threatened with expulsion. One of my classmates finally confessed that I had given him the papers, and I was called up for trial. "I had no defense to make. If I told tho story of hypnotism I would only be making tho case worse. The end of it was that I was expelled from college. My father was incensed at me, and, giving me 5o,000, cast me olf. It was not long after until both my parents died, my father's wealth being left to charitable institutions. "My tastes were expensive, and tho $5,000 did not last long iu New York, where I went. Then 1 used my mesmeric 1owera to borrow loans from my friends, ut it was not long until they became afraid of me and fled from mo as if from a postilence. Ono day I became desperate, and determined to try once more to become invisible. I bent all the energies of mind upon that ono idea, and went into several stores to ex periment. Findintr the result satisfactory. I summoned up courage and went into a bank. When I came out I had $:?.500 in ca.-h. This was an easy way to get money ana I replenished my mm cvtry weekor two until the iNew lork bankers were panic-stricken. The beet detectives were put to work to ferret out the mystery, but without avail. Ihey could not catch a man whom they could not Bee. "With plenty of money and apparently illimitable resources, having only to slip my hands Into the hoards 01 the worM to get all I wanted, I began to cut quite a dash. I opened up an olficeand hung out a broker s sigp. 1 did not get any com missions, nor did I want any. I merely ... . w . .... - t- -v. - " .- V . . . y went into good society and become enamored of a very pretty gi rl. 1 he course of true love ran very smoothly. 1 presented her with costly flowers and handeome jewelry, for which the rew York

banks unwittingly settled the bills. Her

arenU wero well-to-do, but did not obect to a millionaire son-in-law. "Tiie great trouble with lovers is that they are never satisfied." 1 fere the tramp rolled another cigarette, and, assuming a more comfortable attitude, continued: "I was like all of them, and 1 wanted to know just bow much my flmmcee loved inc. To cut my story short, I walked in upon her and a party of girl friends whila invisible to them. Tho party wai laughing and joking, and soon they began to quia my sweetheart about rao. Sh, appearing: an noyed at flrvt, finally said: 'Oh, 1 don't caro for him; but he's awful rich.' I Htayed to hear no more. I did not know women then as I do now or I would have paid no attention to remarks uttered un der such circumstances. "I went awnv and sought consolation in that great destroyer, drink. I became reekless in my expenditures, and my calls upon the Mew York banks were inoro frequent. "At last I went once too oftrn. One day while partly intoxicated, I walked into a bank, with calm assurance that I would not bo detected, but tho liijuor must havo weakened my power, for 1 was caught with a roll of bills in my hand. I'.ven then I felt no fear. hat are prison bars to me,' 1 thought, 'when I can walk out of tho door of my jail whenever I wish?' I was hurried to a police station and from thero to jsu. I rather enjoyed tho nove lty of my position, and determined to wnit a day or two until I made my escape ; but when I endeavored to render myself invisible I found my power was gone and it has never since returned to 1110. I was tried, convicted and sentenced to ten years in ISinj; Sing, While I could not bo convicted of tho othrr robberies I had committed, yet everyone was confident of my guilt, and on that account I received such a severe eontenee. "The bankers wero greatly interested in mycasosnd guaranteed mo money and liberty if I would toll them how I succeeded in robbing them. I did tell t hem, but they laughed at my story and decldod that I was a hardened criminal. I served my term, and have been n tramp ever since. Now you know my story." lnpector McAlecso ponJered for a few moments and then murmured something about "thirty davs." J ho tramp immediately disappeared. He had caught a fresh grip on his hypno tism.

HIS FIRST ELEPHANT RUNT.

DIQ CAME IN A JUNGLE OF CEYLON. Som Sport of Iliatily i:ihllrtlng Charstar A Splendid bpse'iurn f the Monster r.rtiy4riu Traeood krJ IInntiy Urovght Down. Tho Cotmopolitan ilajncina contains a spirited article by Macmahon Challinor entitled "How I Shot My First Klophant." It U descriptive of a hunt in Ceylon, and the story of tho liual experience runs thus: It most bo 10 or 11 o'clock. "Wo havo cradled ten or twelve mile. I can't go on much longer. Heat! Why, tho perspiration was pouring out of in ; our clothes were wringing wet. The only thing that did not look as if it was dying wus the old chap in front of us. Ho had not turned a hair, and his tracking now was wonderful indeed. Not a sign, or track, or broken branch, or anything could seo but on he went slow ly because locomotion had to be alow in such stuff but with most wonderful certainty, as though ho saw tho elephant it self ahead of him. So we went on and on, from bad to worse, for another two hours or so, and then he suddonly stopped. I ran into "L;" Vellian, of course, dashed the rillo into the samo hole which ho had almost jabbed right through me by this time. No ono could see.and any etoppngo In front meant a collision along tho whole line. For hours I had been carrying a tenpound rifie, and I had realized the earnestnets of life. I had made up my mind tint once through with my first elephant the reit were sue. ever, no never, not lor the finest tusker, would I again go through all the agonv I had been enduring since G o'clock. Yes, mv mind was fully made up, this was uu lirut and last elephant. I had thought of nothing but this determination for hours, w hen tins sudden stoppage took place. "What is up? Is ho there?" This was tho exprcfuion on every face. All my kiennets was back. I felt equal to anything. "L" and Pohomo-Hondi hold a whispered confab and I almost kill myscif in my efforts to htar what it is all about. Not a word can I make out. Tho excitement is intense. Quito too awful. Then tho old man disappears in the undergrowth, gliding awav like a snako, without the slightest sound or effort, the uudergrowth closing behind him, leaving not a sign of him. Crawling up to "L," I whisper: "What is it?" "Sb ! sh !" says "L.A Now, mv whisper had hardly been a whisper. 1 had looked it more than anything, and to be met with a scowl and sh was fearfully irritating. "L" then went on to whisper something, but what on earth he said I could not make out, for just then my hat brushed against a tree, drowning all other sounds. ' Having recovered this shock, I again lookrd "What is it?" Thump ca-i.e something in tho small o' my back, and glaring around, I see my faithful Ycllian. also looking "What is it?" He, too, bad crept up, terror depicted all over him. At this mou.enl the ludicrousness of the whole thine burt upon me. I could not help laughing. Seizing my handkerchief I stuffed it into my mouth. Stop laughing I could not. The agonized expression on "L's" face was terrible. Throwing myself on the ground 1 buried my face iu my arms, but whenever I lookeu up and saw the perspiring face, protrudent eyes, and woe-begone appearance of tho coolies and the intense anxiety depicted on "L's" face lest my giggling should bo heard, off I went again into paroxysm after paroxym of laughter. Looking up on ono of these occasions I saw Iohomo-Hondi, who bad returned as quietly as he had gone, staring at me with the utmost contempt and an almost fiendish look of rage. I saw the old chap had lost all respect for me, and this stopped my giggling fit. "One must maintain one's dignity even in a canebrake." "The 'rogue' was here, had been lyin; down, but seemed restless and had got up and gone on," said the old chap in a whisper.evidently implying that I was the cause. "What do you propose?" said "L." "I think I know where he is going and wo must make a detour and cut him oil. He hasgono to the river." said Iiohomo-Hon-di. "That is just as well" said "L," "for I would not go near him in this jungle." "Ne, ne," mumbled the old man in a doubtful way. (No, no, nor ho either, that was very certain.) We now turned to our right, and after some timo in the same sort of going we had been having 60 much of we struck a ridge with a very decent game track on it. Here one could walk upright and in comparative comfort. The junglo got more open as we went along, and presently we struck on an old, abandoued paddy field; not a house to be seen ; everything growing up into jungle. "The people arc irrl dead fever," eaid the old man with the greatest unconcern. And I wondered how many villairea ho had seen pass away. From his age, which uiigjit havo been centuries, but more for his utter unconcern, I came to the conclusion that he must have seen many. Ho seemed to think nothing whatever of it. Crossing this woebegone and forlorn village we haded and the old man said he would go and reconnoiter and see if the "rogue" had not Btopped at the old tank here before going on aa far as the river. Tho tank in all probability was dry, but still might have a little water in it, sum cient to tempt the elephant down, he thought; so off ho went to see, wo sitting down meantime. "I he tank is just here; the old man won t be more than five minutes," whispered "L." Visions of water, cool, refreshing water, floated before me, when "Knawa manhatmavia" the old man was back. The "rogue" was there. He was down in tho tank and seemed verv restless; we had better come quickly. Taking up a handful of sand, tho old chap, holding his hand aloft, let it 6lowly pour awav, observing most carefully which way the wind carried it. To me, uninitiated, thero did not appear to bo a breath of wind, but he made up his mind at once that we must go round, lrudjing on, we once more crossed the abandoued paddv field and. entering the iuncle. crept stealthily alootr. Presently I heard something. It waa not my confounded hat - this time, but most certainly a break ing branch. Yes, there sroea another! The "rogue" had left tho tank then ; ho was restless. How my heart throbbed ngair.st nay ribs! Here st laitt was the "rogue." staring into the junple I couid see nothing, but from the noise 1 knew he must be quite near. Ah, llohomo-IIondl points at something! "IV stoops, nods, and, turning round, beekons to me, his perspiring face beeming with delight. He points into the jungie, and though I strain my eyes in that direction until they nearly drop out of my head I can make out nothing. How I did stare 1 I could see nothing, nothing whatever, nothing but jungle. Suddenly something moving caught ray eye. Good heavens, 'tis the "rogue's" tail I Here within fifteen feet I had all this time mistaken his huge form for a rock. I had no idea we were so close as tbat. Yes, there he was I 1'e evidently did not know we were there, for he was slowly awing-

He had either ecented us or heard ns and was now lying in wait, probably to make a charge. liy Jove! how lucky it was ho had not done tbat in the fearful rtuT wc had crept through earlier in tho day. We could never have escaped. "L." ulowly, with liis rillt) clutched in his hand, creeps inch by inch nearer tho "roptie."

Wait until he's quite close; I'll back you up," whispers "L." W-r-r-r-r! here lio comes, everything falling in all directions ! Tbe noise of his trumpet, the swaying ot the trees, the crashing, and then tho awful thud, who can describe them? "Well done, old man; you stood the charge like a veteran." Yes, there he was. I had got my elephant. How? Well, even now, after all this description. I hardly know how it happened. He had charged right on to me and I had dropped him with my first Ehot. That was quite certain, for there he was, his huge carcass only seven feet from where I stood. It was more good luck than good management. Had the bullet not killed him iustantaneously he must hare crushed me in his fall. Where were the coolies? They wero conspicuously absent. Thero was my other rifle lying on the ground, but not a cooly to bo Keen. The intrepid Vel ian had not been able to .stand that charge, and "seeing Tarpen get up in a tree, why, he did so too." Our prize was a magnificent elephant, fully nine feet. "L's two bullets had penetrated a little too far back to be fatal. The shot he got was a di'licult one, the suddenness of tho elephant's swerve round putting him olf", or possibly the bullets may have glanced off a sapling. This old "rogue" had foiled hira Beveral times. Old Bohomo-Hondi meantime has taken olF the tail, which he hands to mo with great politeness, and I fee I am oncp more installed in the old man's good graces, from the manner in which I ehot "my first elephant FLIRTING WITH THE PREACHER. Remarkable Ineldent at n. Covenanter Church Gnthartnx In New York. The Kev. Mr. Millian of Pennsylvania, who ia a candidate for the pastorate of the covenanter church in the little hamlet of Coldenham, in Orange countv, aays a Kingston correspondent of the New York lJoni, and who was inrited to deliver a trial sermon there last Sunday, startled the congregation in the mid.t of the delivery of the fermon by saying: "I regret to state that I am an exceedingly nervous mau, and am annoyed by a voung lady in the congregation who has been endeavoring to tlirt with me this morning. I have neither the time nor inclination to return the compliment at this time, but mav do so later." Theso words full like a thunderbolt upon the covenanters, mofe especially as this departure from theology was made while the eyes of the pastor were steadfastly nxed on those of a blushing youn lady who ia noted for her good looks and is regarded as the belle of Coldenham. When the services were finished there was a lively busting of dresses down the church aiiles and out into the country road, and more than one fair Coldenham damcel waa willing to accept the pastor's rebuke as a pergonal allusion. Nevertheleea the episode has had a tendency to popularize l'astor Milligan, find tha chances point toward his becoming the permanent preacher at tho little Ortnge county covenanter church.
