WRIGHT LORIMER
BANISHED
MISTER
Former Pastor of Pennsylvania Baptist Church Now On the Stage.
HE OWED MANY DEBTS. FOR THIS REASON THE AUTHOR OF "SHEPARD KING" LEFT THE TOWN OF NORTH SCRANTON FOR THE STAGE.
Scranton, Pa., Oct. 7. Wright Lorimer, author of the "Shepherd King," and player of the Tole of David in "Hope of Israel," has confessed he it the same man who, ten years ago, under the name of the Rev. Walter M. B. Lowell, was pastor of a Baptist church in North Scranton, which church he suddenly abandoned, leaving behind personal debts for a large amount. Some of these debts, Mr. Lorlmer said he has paid. '1 paid two bills in monthly installments," said the actor-preacher, "but .s to the other debts which I am accused of owing I do not consider myself obligated for them. In this connection he remarked: "If it were with other classes other than church people they would have discharged these debts and saved me from disgrace. They ought to have Ihad that much respect for themselves." It was through these debts, particularly a merchant's bill, the identity of the man became a matter of speculation here, although this is the first time Lorimer has mads an open and frank confession. - When he was here the last time in the same production a member of his former congregation thought be recognized the minister in the actor and sent him a letter addressed to "Wright Lorimer." Inside this envelope, however, was another addressed to "the Rev. Walter Lowell." It was after the receipt of this communication, which was delivered to him in his dressing room after his first performance, that the actor abandoned his company for the rest of his engagement here, his place being taken by Carl Eckstrom, who is still the company.

Carl's Aspirations. Little Carl, six years old, had been teased a greatdeal by his uncle about the vocation he would choose when he became a man. One day he overheard his mother and a caller talking about a certain gentleman being a bachelor. When the caller left, his mother uo ticed that he was unusually quiet and seemed to be In a deep stady. Finally he said to her. "Mamma, is a bachelor a good trade?" Pellneator.
Th Way the Spectroscope Reads the Sun and Stars. When one lights a common sulphur match in the dark It is worth while to notice what happens. First, its phosphorus gives out faint yelw rays, and almost at the same time the sulphur begins to burn with bluish beams. As yet the flame yields little light In a moment or two the. wood of the match takes Are, and then a stream of clear white light pours forth. Each of the materials of the match its
' phosphorus, sulphur and wood has
shone in burning with a color of Its own
In a street lighted by electricity and
gas the eye detects at once the difference between the white rays of the one and the yellow beams of the other. If nitrate of strontia Is set on fire we have a splendid red flame. Filings of copper burn with a glow of greenish blue, and a fine, pare blue is had when filings of sine are Ignited. These and other such substances furnish the maker of fireworks with bis materials. Rockets, roman candles and bombs all derive their beauty from the special tints which- attend the combustion of their ingredients. And any one wfao baa once seen the colors peculiar to common salt, iron or antimony as they trace themselves on the evening
ky win always know what is aflame wben he sees those colors again. 8tr John Herschel was the first to understand that colors of this kind tell a wonderful story. He will knew how the stars varied in tint that Al- ' debaran was ruddy, Arctnrus yellow and Slrius, the most glorious of all, , white. Might not the colors of a body aflame, whether on earth or in the ky. rer-iy be telling us of what that body was composed? His suggestion was taken tip, and its fruit is that marvel of Ingenuity, the spectroscope. One of its principal parts is a prism employed to break up the hues. These hues, which are divided by many dark lines, make known to us that the sun and stars are built of such materials as compose our own globe. Yet more, they tell us what kind o'. atmosphere surrounds them and. mos astonishing of all, give us the rate r which a remote star Is moving towat r or from the tiny orb we Inhabit. Nr York II--'
A Surprised Deputy. A number of years ago the United States marshal of western Pennsylvania sent a warrant to one of his deputies, who was stationed in a back county, for the arrest of a counterfeiter. The deputy knew the man and treated him considerately. When they reached Pittsburg the necessary papers were not at band to commit the prisoner to jail. The deputy would not take him to a liotel, because he would have to pay the bill out of bis own pocket. So he took him to the marshal's office to pass the night there. The deputy was sleepy and the counterfeiter said he was. So the deputy handcuffed his prisoner to himself and lay down on the floor beside the steam register. As soon as the deputy was asleep the counterfeiter took his keys from his pocket, unlocked the manacle and fastened the loose end to the register. Then he took the deputy's watch and ehat money he bad and departed. "Where is your prisoner?" asked the marshal the next morning, awakening the deputy. "Doesn't that beat an?" he replied as he tugged at his handcuff and bruised his wrist "Darned if I don't believe he's jrl roe the eIId."

The speaker, a little city waif, p. with the awful pallor of the sIul gave bis bucolic host a patronizi smile and laid a familiar hand on L leg. The farmer caught a sheep, ope ed its mouth and directed the boy i look within. "You see, sonny," he explained, "th sheep has no incisors, or cutting teetl In its upper Jaw. With its tongue J makes a ball of grass, and It hold.this ball firmly between the cutting, teeth of the lower Jaw and a callous pad see it? above. Now, the ball must be cut up. How? With a Jerk of the head, a sharp nod. the grass partly torn and partly cut and tb sheep feeds on. The sheep nod Is th substitute, in other words, for the miss lng upper teeth." Atlanta Constirn Vn.
