An Indianapolis minister is suing bit vile for divorce, bring ing m the chief charge against her that she made lacea at him from her pew in church while be was exhorting bis people from tbe pulpit. ' Tbe story reminds one of that which was chronicled of King David's wife, who, aeciog her lord and master leaping and dancing before the ark, "despis ed him in her heart." Perhaps a like canse produced a like effect in both women. The Indianapolis minister may have grumbled over his Sunday morn ing coffee, or answered tartly that her last year's bonnet was plenty good for a woman of bU wile's age to wear to church, and that anyway tbe people didn't come to see her bonnet, but to hear him preach; and King David doubtless spent an equally pleasant hour condemn ing bis wife's frivolties and so cial proclivities. So that when the one stood np in his pulpit and preached virtues that he did not practice, while tbe other so far forgot himself as to dance "with all his might before the ark." tbe wives of their bosoms could not stand it another mo ment. One brought her lord to earth by venting her feelings in making faces, while the other, outwardly more self-controlled, hut none the less contemptuous, despised her liege He her heart. It was just tbe seme toucb of nsture that made both women kl·. Making l»ct» b a pastime that bas been relegated to the children, since women have In vented a list of toft ■ wear word* which they may use without be ing deemed too nnfeminine. Though almost any one who bu· tried both methods would ad vise "the fsce" as a much more comfortable outlet to the feel ings than even the most vehem ent "plague take h," or "O shacks !" There is a something so delict· onslr defiant about making a face. All the venom in a child's nature com·· out in the fee· she makes at her teacher's back, and she becomes at once cheer ful and tractable. It ssams to be a sort of safety valu· through which pent-up rudeneaa and malice eacape with a nub, leav ing the atmosphere clear and smiling. The ministers'· wife may be only a sort of over-grown child after all, whoa· expulsion from tb*nnrsery was *o recent that sont· of iu mischievous tricks still lurk in the corners of her lip· end eyes, to peep out when anything- dUplrase* her; and when «m remembers that tbe position ah* 611s is the mort diftcuh in all th· professions to fill acceptably. It Is easy to excuM a lap·· from grace now ^The wife of a lawyer may b· aB ignoramus concerning tbe law, and no one will criticuc her for it; a doctor's wife need know nothing of medicine, and an architect's wife may not be able to t^JI a gable from a gargoyle, and yet they may be considered charming helpmeets for their husbands; but the minister's wife most be above suspicion in every respect, or his entire congregation will de· mand to know the reason why. It avails her nothing that she baa no talent for leadership ; that she cannot conduct a sewing circle or a ladies' auxiliary; that she dislikes to teach in the Sunday school or preside over bazars or sympathize with the woea of the parish. If she doesn't do all these things aud do them cheerfully and well she is marked for criticism, and the next thing she bears is a whis per to the effect that poor Dr. Longtex is so wretchedly handi capped by that frivolous wife of his. There is not a little minister in any pulpit in the land to-day whose congregation docs not expect his wife to be a synonym for all the virtues that a minister's wife should possess; and somewhere it is written that the mother whose son goes into the ministry demands The Perfect Woman for hU mate. Aside from her churchwifely tasks, the minister's wife has to endure what very few other women can pnt up with and still retain any sweetoess of temper —the presence of her husband in the house all day and every amy. True, his parochial duties •onetime* keep him employed rather steadily, bat between committee meeting* tad visita tions be has the habit of "touch ing base" at bis own home, and the very unexpectedness of a man bobbing in at any and all times Of the day is enough to put any housewife's nerves on edge. As to her home dntles, Can dida, the wife of that very self· complacent minister in Bernard Shaw's play answers that with: "Ask the tradesmen who want to worry James and spoil his beautiful sermons who it is that puts them off. When there is money to give be gives it; when there is money to refuse, 1 re fuse it. I build a castle of com fort and indulgence and love foe him and stand sentinel always to keep vulgar little cares out." The role of minister's wife is nn< a clocb. In fact, H is so difficult that a woman should * * be think a round dosen timet fore she accepta the part. But hevingscceptcd it, she had Just aa well decide at once to put eway all childish thinn—the making of faces among them— **àprtm forward toward the mark for the prise of her high eallJug. » TO HIOOE THE CATAWA.

The toiiri of countv commis· sioncrs yesterday voted en ep· propristiou of $5,000 to be de voted to replacing the bridge over the Catawba river at Uoz· sell's Perry. Λ committee, con sisting of Messrs. S.WittVoweky, J. H. Weddiogton and J. K. Wolfe, vas appointed to confer with like committees from Qas ton and Lincoln connties rela tive to the construction cf tbe bridge. A meeting vas appointed for next Monday, at which time some further definite action will be taken. The following-named were appointed to represent their respective countiea: Gaston, Messrs. R. L. Abernethy, A. M. Henderson, J. M. Mcintosh and A. N. Stronpe; Lincoln, Messrs. Β. M. Loire, John Nixon and John Cahill. Messrs. Heriot Clarkson, D. A. Tompkins and Capt. S. B. Alexander were alao asked to meet and advise with ibese committees next Mooday. Much credit is dae to Col. R. L. Abernethy, of River Bend, < (or having brought op the matter at this time. Tbe rebuilding of | the bridge at Roxxell's Perry h«« been a tooic of diamuinn in Charlotte (or more Una a scorc of year·. Λ fine bridge •panned the river there before lue war. The pier· alone are said to have cost more thao >11,000. There are several of them and they were constructed of the heaviest stoae. Duties' the war, the bridge was bnrnea. Hvery since then the giant pillars have been standing in the river, waiting for the time to come when another and stronger structure might be reared upon them. One pier, that closest to the Mecklenburg side of the river, was washed away in a big fresbet a few years ago. This will have to be re built. The others arc intact and only need a little overhaul ing. It is estimated that the new bridge will coat ap proximately $8,000. A few years ago a special act was passed by the State Legis lature giving to the commission er· of Mecklenburg county the power of appropriating $5,000 to the bnilding of this bridge. An act also gave to the city of Charlotte the right, if she uw fit, to donate $2,000 to the bnild ing of this bridge. Gaston and Lincoln counties were also em powered to donate $3,000 for this purpose. The commission er· of neither Gaston nor Lincoln counties are inclined to give this snm. . It is more than likely, however, as Capt. Jack Reinhardt, of Lincoln, stated yesterday that a number of citizen· of these counties will subscribe if the matter is pre sented properly. MCCiueQDurg county now owns the pins sod a little more then fix acres of the adjoining lend leading np to river, having pur chased the land from the Roxaetl estate when it was divided several years ago. The macad am has been carried to a point within a few miles of the bridge. It will be extended to tbs river at an early date. The following-named citizens appeared before the commis sioners yesterday afternoon in behalf of the appropriation for the bridge:* Messrs. J. H. Wed dington. Capt. S. B. Alexander, D. A. Tompkins, J. P. Rhein hardt. S. Wittlcowsky, Heriot Clarkson and R. L- Abernethy. Capt. Alexander very clearly stated the importance of the bridge. Before the war. be declared, this road was a great thoroughfare need by the people of Lincoln, Burke, Catawba and all the sur rounding country, for bringing their products to market, Char lotte participated largely in the trade and this trafic was a soarce of great revenue to the business interests of the city. After the war, the bridge having been berned, the people went claewhere. Since then Char lotte baa never enjoyed any more of this lucrative trade. It U believed that the rebuilding of this bridge will iadnce many of the citizen* of those counties which formetly came to Char lotte to trade to return. Much interest Is being mani fested In the bntMIng of thlsi bridge. Those who spoke be-1 fore the commissioners yester day advocated the construction of Others, bet urged that the one at Rossefl's ferry be built êrst. owing to thst fact that the cross log there la mote Important than perhaps efty other.

Burgess and his wile drove by bis (Hill's) boose in η bony. Not a word was passed.- Burgesa reached for bis pistol, but Hill was quicker with his shotgun and fired first, killing Burgess instantly. Hill brought the gun with which the deed was done to Mooroe with him when be came to aurreftder, and also a number of loaded shells. MOT ΤΗ* yimer ATTKJOT. Mm.

In Gaston county there is a ' belt of micaceous schist extend· 1 tog in a general direction north ' 20 degrees east that can be traced from Bessemer city 1 northward into Lincoln county. Tbeae schists contain throagb- ' oat nearly the whole area num erous small seama, incrustations and stains of black manganese material which gives reactions 1 for cobalt. Some of this ma terial is largely iron oxide when ι it is more of a reddiab or yel- ι lowiah ochre color, bat the moat 1 of it is black. 1 At the Oimand iron mine, one ! mile southwest of Bessemer ι City, there ia a considerable quantity of this material foand mixed with the iron ore and U mar be that it was the cobalt which went into the pig iron that gave bla iron its reputation for hardness and toughness.
