SNORING IN CHURCH
WF.LLDI.'KSSKh MAN I'IJECTRD (It.V Telegraph—Special to "The Mail") CII R-TSTCIIUR.cn, 29th .Inly. _ There was an unusual interruption in :be evening service at St. Paul's PresbyLerian Church yesterday when a wellIrcssed man had to be ejected from the ■ougregafion for persistent snoring. Immaculately clothed, carrying gloves ind a cane, he arrived late and proceeded leisurely down the aisle, and took his place in one of the front pews. Settling himself there very deliberately he fell into a deep slumber snoring loudly. Attempts to prod him into wakefulness were successful for a lime but dining the sermon he slept or appeared to sleep :mce. more punctuating the sentences ol the preacher (the Rev. W. Bower Black) with heavy and resonant snores. Eventually the service had to be stopped and sturdy office bearers put the tired man out of doors.
