Gum-Chewing Girl Makes Faces at Minister

March 1896

Two girls in Cumberland, Pennsylvania, have been heavily fined for disturbing public worship by chewing gum. The minister testified that when he remonstrated with one of the girls she made faces at him.

The Congregational Church of Sedalia, Missouri, is going to make a grand effort to bring the old sinners into the fold this year. Young women are to act as ushers in place of the young men hitherto acting in that capacity.

Mrs. Cleveland rarely fails to attend the regular church services, and is scrupulously exact in being present on all special days.

Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein who is Queen Victoria's daughter Helena, and her daughter Princess Victoria, are to sing solo parts in the "Messiah" at a church concert at Slough.
