Exhibited in a Barrel!
HOW EX-RECTOR OF STIFFKEY RAISES FUNDS. Received Tuesday, 9.50 p.m. LONDON, Sept. 6. Ten thousand yesterday, paid twopence each for a peep at we late rector of btiffkey, Rev. Davidson, who was recently convicted for misconduct, sitting in a sealed barrel at Blackpool in an open air exhibition, says the NewsChronicle. A local girl, Barbara Cockayne, is attempting a ten days’ fast in an adjoining barrel. “I am not going to fast,” said Mr. Davidson. “I need £IOOO for my defence fund and must raise the money somehow. My feelings rebel against this, but I am going through with it.” He contracted for a big sum to sit in the barrel for ten days. He enters each morning and stays in the barrel with the exception of luncheon and tea breaks until late evening.
