RELIGIOUS SECT STRANGE MISSION CAUSING EXCITEMENT IN GEORGIA. Fervor of "Pentecostal Band" Is Remarkable-Converts from Other Creeds-Odd Modes of Worship. Valdosta, new religious sect calling itself the Pentecostal band has been conducting revival services in this city recently, and has within the past few days awakened considerable excitement by the modes of worship in the mission and the extraordinary religious ferver under which some of the attendants are laboring. Many of the attendants at the mission have had the "power of the unknown tongues" conferred upon them, being enabled, it is claimed, to speak two or three languages in addition to their own. The adherents claim that this power to speak other languages is a manifestation of the Holy Ghost, and evidence that the person who receives the power has also received the "second The power, or "spell," or whatever it may be termed, comes on the members while at worship, their entire nervous system being seemingly wrought to the highest tension.

At such times their bodies are shaken as if by palsy, every muscle apparently being a quiver. They fall from their seats and roll over the floor in an excess of religious excitement. Many of them, when the "power" comes on them, are unable to speak a word of their native language for hours to come. They do not know what they are saying, or attempting to say, and their speech is unintelligible to others. One well known lady here who received the power begun to speak in an unknown tongue, which, it is claimed, proved to be pure Latin, though she knew nothing of this guage.

Others who knew nothing but English claim to be able to converse with Syrians, Hebrews and other foreigners whom they meet. Great crowds have been attracted to the mission over a store on Central avenue, where services are held twice a day by Evangelists Perry and Juillerat. The converts are members of all denominations--Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians and others. The members of the band say they have been sent to warn the people of the second coming of Christ, which momentous event will occur in a very short time. One of the evangelists, it is alleged, has had a vision of heaven, or visited the celestial regions in the spirit, and gives graphic descriptions of the abode of the blessed.

OLDEST TWINS IN MICHIGAN. Eli D. Sprague and Sister Are Hale and Hearty at Eighty. Two. Middleville, the oldest living twins in Michigan are Eli D.

Sprague and Mary D. Sprague Young. They are both hale and hearty, and were 82 years of age March 27. They reside three miles south of Middleville. These twins are the eighth ation from Ralph Sprague and John Turner, who came from England in 1628 and settled in Massachusetts.

Their father, John Sprague, was born in 1783, and their mother, Diantha Turner, was born in 1785. Their descendants, Eli D. and Mary were born in Murray, Orleans county, N. Y. Mary married James Young in 1848, and they moved with her father's family to Middleville the same year.

She has made her home with her son James since her husband's death about ten years ago. Eli married Miss Eliza Brewin, of Middleville, in 1851, who died in 1869. Three children were born of this union, all of whom are deceased. In 1870 he married Mrs. Lucinda Matteson, who died in 1906.

Eli was in the freight and express business in Middleville until 1884, when he removed to Lansing. He was also president of the village in an early day. Of late years he has made his home with his step-daughter, Mrs. Frances Lester, wife of Rev. Clement S.

Lester, of South Haven. When their parents came through Rochester, N. in 1816 the village had only one frame house. TURTLE KEEPS ON BITING. Though Decapitated, Snapper's Nippers Cling to Boy's Leg.

Beaver Falls, Roberts, the ten-year-old son of William Roberts, a Beaver county farmer, used to laugh at folks who thought turtles could bite after being decapitated. He won't any more. The elder Roberts caught a 20- pound turtle in the Little Beaver river and took it home. Jimmie teased the turtle by poking sticks a at it, but, getting too close, it seized his leg, and all efforts to make it let go proved futile. Red pepper was thrown in its eyes, kerosene was squirted into its mouth and finally a red-hot poker was thrust between its jaws; but still it held on, while Jimmie howled with pain and fright.

Finally Mrs. Roberts grabbed the turtle's tail and while she pulled until its neck was stretched the farmer cut off its head with a carving knife. This detached the turtle's body from the boy, but the jaws retained their hold on his leg. Mr. Roberts, Jimmie and the turtle's head got into a buggy and hurried to the office of Dr.

E. C. Kerwin, of Homewood. The physician succeeded in cutting the turtle's head from the boy's leg. An ugly hole that will be a long time in healing was left, Englewood Millinery Opening Monday, March 30.

All Calts Answered Day or Night. ARRANGES HIS OWN FUNERAL. Selects Epitaph, Names Eulogist and Retains an Undertaker. Spokane, to make sure that everything will be done. right, James Durkin, boniface, bon vivant, railroad projector and temperance lecturer, has ordered a mOIMIment erected in Greenwood cemetery, the tablet bearing these words; "Jimmie Durkin.

Born. 1859. DiedA minister said: 'A man of his Durkin has retained Attorney J. F. Robertson to prepare a funeral oration.

He has also arranged with an undertaker to prepare his body for burial when he dies. Two years ago a minister censured Durkin for a window display. He invited the minister to decorate the window according to his ideas. The minister was game, and the result was the most exciting time Spokane ever saw over a window display. Durkin also delivered a temperance lecture in a church.

The minister was satisfied and in a signed statement to the newspapers said: "Mr. Durkin treated me right. He is a man of his word." "I have told Robertson not to say anything wrong about me; to tell the truth--not all, but part," Durkin said when asked about the oration to be delivered at his funeral. Durkin says his reason for arranging with the undertaker now is SO his family will not have to pay an exorbitant bill when he dies. TWO NORSEMEN CLAIM RECORD.

Said to Have Reached Height of 24,015 Feet Above Sea Level. is declared that the highest mountain climb record, exceding even that of William Hunter Workman and his wife, who in the summer of 1899 ascended Karakoram peaks of the Himalayas to an altitude of 21,000 feet, has just been made in India upon Mount Ka, or Godwin-Austen. This mountain is 28,250 feet in height, and nobody so far as known ever reached its summit. But two Norwegian travelers, Rubenston and Monrad, have lately climbed two of its peaks. One of these peaks, slightly lower than the other, they set down as having an altitude of 23.900 feet; the other peak they calculated 24,015 feet high.

The Norwegians' performance is not accepted by climbers here as an absolute record, for, although the matter is subject to controversy, many believe W. W. Graham ascended Ka to within 30 or 40 feet of its summit in 1883. It is possible, too, that Dr. Longstaff's record last summer of 23,406 feet actually surpasses that of the Norwe gians, for it is not certain that their estimates of altitudes reached are correct.

IS CHAMPION COMMUTER. New York Business Veteran Travels 96 Miles Daily for 53 Years. New the champion commuter Chicago has put forward John B. McNeil, a wholezale grocer. Ac cording to mathematicians of that city, Mr.

McNeil has traveled 35 years between Elgin and Chicago, covering a total distance of 756,000 miles and expending $4,200 in railroad fares. He las traveled 72 miles each day, occupying in the aggregate 2,625 days on trains. But New York has Chicago beaten by many miles. J. H.

Peffer, of Green Farms, has traveled between his home and New York, a distance of 48 miles each way, daily for 53 years. Mr. Peffer has traveled 1,526,400 miles, while he has been a commuter, and has paid the railroad $6,519. The time Mr. Peffer has taken to get to business here totals 2,650 days This means he beats the Chicago champion's record in total mileage by more than 77,000 miles.

His tickets also cost him $2,000 more than the Chicogan's. Mr. Peffer is known as "Santa Claus" by all the old employes of the New Haven road, on whose lines he has traveled all his life. FEAR STIFFENS MAN'S HAIR. Virginia Negro Is Almost a Freak from Fright.

Pittsburg, Pa. -Fear's terrible effect can be no better illustrated than in the case of Anderson Feader, a Vir. ginia negro, ten-inch hair now stands rigidly erect so that his hat seems as if hung on a peg in the top of his head. At the Hazelwood Police station, where Feader was taken, he was regarded as a phenomenon escaped from some circus. But Special Officer James.

Noon, who arrested Feader shortly after the negro had brushed the coke dust from his clothes after a ride on the Baltimore Ohio, explained it thus: "I noticed Feader's coke-dusty clothes and, suspecting him to be a vag, I trumpeted in his ear from behind, "Murderer, you are my Instantly his hat rose and the long black hair, fully ten inches long which covered his head, stood on end. I grasped a handful with one hand and thinking it a trick wig, tried to jerk it off but failed. The negro's eyes were wild with fear, and his hair continues to stand on end, almost as stiff as wire."

It is being reported that the broom corn acreage in Texas this year will be larger than any preceding year, the reason being that the growers and buyers will ship to New York by boat, arrangements already having been made and that the cost of such shipping will be about one-half what it would by rail.

Indications in this section point to a smaller acreage this year than ever before, the farmers devoting more land and time to the cultivation of corn and other small grain.

It should have been Roy Rice. As a result, the first named Roy has had to "treat" his numerous friends on many different occasions. In order that 110 harm may result to R. we make the above correction, much to the delight of a certain young lacy. Roy can "light" there again, now.
