THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C saTuRDAY, AUGUST 6, 188' £ HOW TOM BAXTER SAW THE UNIVERSITY MATCH. * From the London Trath. ‘The Rev. Thos, Baxter was a curate of the mus. cular, energetic type, which, fortunately for the church, 1s turned out not unfrequently by our uni~ ‘versities and public schools. He was a big, broad- shoulered young man, who, besides distinguish- ing himself greatly, both on the river and in the cricket-fleld, had taken a very respectable degree, for he was by no means afraid of hard work of any description. Such men often make capital par- sons, and Tom was hardly less energetic in his parish work than he had been in very different spheres of action at Eaton and Oxford. But there were Umits to Mr. Baxter's endurance; he liked an occasional holiday, and this was the only point upon which he and his vicar, eptimus Straightway, were not entirely 1 Septimus was an earnest man, omy view of the pleas. terribly hard in an East thing and cared less about rts—or, in fact, any form of amuse- fully expected his curates to follow un- IF Spc ; and hesitat in the extremely narrow and steep | path up which he led them. Hence it came to pass Mr. Straightway experienced considerable culty in finding curates after his own heart; ng en were continually leaving him for human nature in general, and of the younger gen- | { curates in particular, steadily grew Worse. In Tom Baxter, however, hé really thought That he possessed a’ treasure, and the danger of ‘working a Willing horse to death never so much as entered into bis he Poor Tom did bis very best to satisty Mr. Straightway’s requirements, for he really re- Spected the man, and valued immensely his, good Dut, a3 has already been indicated, hi ip longing that his superior woul >more into his own hariuless liking nal relief, and sympathise with is pas, t, rowing, and all that was connected | with athletics. At the time I write of, the cricket season was in swing; but Tom's Guties had not merely pre- him from playing I a single match, but im looking on at one for a few hours from of the pavilion at Lord's. Moreover, the ch, In Which he took an ab- | university c or i fast approaching, and he was | sorbing in! Fest, Wa ied by the sorely tre dread that he inight not be | able to sev it. This fear haunted him day and | ght. It worried him during his visiting and | inlsion Work, spoilt his rest, and occastonally ob- truded itself pon him in the pulpit. Even the | absent-minded Mr. Straightway at length noticed that his curate’s mind Was ill at ease, and one day he went so far as to inquire the cause, Tom stam- mered out something about being out of sorts, and ventured to hint that he thought a day's holl- day would do him good. | “When I was your age, Mr. Baxter, I never | wanted a holiday,” replied the austere vicar; “but | you are certainly not looking well, Let me see, today ts the 24th of June. In about a fortnight think I can arrange a day for you. Say the 12th of July.” “Can't It be managed a week sooner?” queried ‘Tom, desperately, for tne University match was | fixed for the 4th. “quite Impossible, I fear,” said the vicar, deci- sively, for he Was ‘a terrible martinet with his curates. So, with a Wave of his hand, he dismissed the subject, and Tom knew that further appeal was useless. “It’s rather too bad,” grumbled Mr. Baxter, as he Walked home to nis bumble lodgings. “But It | is no use talking to him about cricket; he doesn’t know a bat froma ball.” And, with a heavy heart, he tried to resign himself to the inevitable. But two days later a circumstance occurred ‘which entirely routed Tom's virtuous Tesolutions, A letter arrived at the reverend gentleman's lodgings Which Was couched in the following terms: “HeaTaecore Ha “Dearest Tom,—We are actually coming to town! Only fortwo days, though; and we are jug to Lord’s to see the match. Uncle has got a rag there, block B. Of course Ishall never for- give you If you don’t come and see me; on Wed- hesday afternoon we go to Essex to stay with the Chilvertons, so this is our only chance of meeting. Do come; in terrible haste. Loausumne. Yours lovingly, Auice.” From the foregoing It may be gathered that Miss Alice Heathcote and Mr. Tom Baxter were on tol- erabiy intimate terms, “Asa matter of fact they had been engaged for six months, during which {ime they had very rarely met. ter’s people Were well off, and he had a very rich uncle, among whose jons was an excellent family living, im the future for Tom and his bride.’ But the uncle was a stern and conscien- Hous gentleman, and he was determined, before he definitely agreed to give Tom the vacancy— ‘when it occurred—to see what that young gentle. Man Was made of. Andthis was why Baxter had ‘deen sent to help Mr. Straightway in the East-end, why he worked so hardin the and why be ‘Was so desperately anxious to stand high in his ‘Vicar’s 0] ion. ‘When Tom read this letter, his first impulse, un- ¢lerical though it may appear, was to use strong language. But he restrained himself, and fell to ‘thinking over the various means of escaping from his duties. A fresh aj to Mr. Straightway he knew to be hopeless. ‘That worthy ascetic did not ‘only look upon cricket as a frivolous waste of Time, but he was a strong advocate of the celibacy of the clergy. Moreover, by merely asking the question Tom might offend him, and this he cer- ‘Yatnly could not afford to do under the circum- stances. There was nothing for it then but a Pious fraud, and although Tom's conscience re. led against the idea of deceiving his vicar, who ‘usted him implicitly, he could not make up his mind to disappoint Alice, or to deny himself the Pleasure of seeing her. | He might, under more fa- ible circumstances, have dined’ at her uncle's house in Portman square, Dut as luck would have it he had undertaken to conduct an evening class on both nights of her stay in town. So he wrote a S duties, and the vicar’s opinion of | “Mr. Baxter, sir,” clerical gent, sir; he's on the “You don’t say’ so!” “He 1s, indeed, sir.

He piled the dust-cloaks, coats, and umbrellas in one cor- ner, and tried to make himself comfortable. Pre- sently, however, the match was resumed, dnd then ciek teamering began. Tom had never endured Such torture. Loud applause frequently broke upon his ears: shouts of “Well hit!” “Well bowled!” “Well caught!” and, sometimes, more maddening even than these sounds, there was a deep hush of suspense in the noisy crowd, or a dis- Unctly audible sigh of relief, which told bis prac- Used ears that some exciting crisis of the game had come or gone. He vainly peered over the half-drawn blind to catch a glimpse of the players: he could, however, see nothing but a forest of Diack hats and variegated sun-shades, Binns re- turned not—Tom dared not quit his hiding-place, and despair once more his soul.” “Sup- pose I'm here for the afternoon. Holy Moses, how appallingly hot tt 1s!” (Heat is apt to relax the propriety even of a curate’s ) “Wish I dare take some more of my clothes off!” And then his eye fell on the champagne-bottle, which was nearly half full, “Well, can have another drink, at allevents!” "And again bis troubles seems less. | He stretched himself out as well as he could, for he was a big man, and the space was sm: and by degrees he finished the bottle. “If only had a weed,” he reflected; “haven't smoked for months, tt seems years.” And growing bold, even to recklessness, “he hunted in the pockets of the other men’s overcoats until he found a elgar-case. When he had lit a cigar he felt. com- paratively at ease. it was very hot, he thought: jut u peaceful feeling stole over him; the hum of the crowd grew fainter and fainter; the shouts of applause more distant; even the ‘hammering of sticks and umbrellas on the drag within 6 inches of is head ceased to annoy him. He pulled at his cigar less energetically; soon 1t fell from his Ii and the Rey. Thomas Baxter slept as asa child. | He was awakened b¥ a rough shake, and a shout in his ear of “Hi, wake up!” Returning to semi- consciousness, he indistinctly heard exclamations of “Shameful!” “Disgusung!” “Who would have thought it!” And then a familiar voice said in somewhat quavering accents, “Leave him to me, pay J must see him alone.” ‘Tom pulled him- ‘self together with a jerk, opened his heavy eyes, and found himself confronted by Miss Alice Heath- cote, Who stood with flushed cheeks and indignant expression at the door of the re You awake, sir?” she inquired, with elabo- sternness. wake! yes; why not, dear?” stammered Mr. Baxter. ‘hen what is the meaning of this?

And in your siirt- rate sleeves, t “Good gracious! I beg your pardon. I forgot!” And, blushing scarlet, the curate huddled on his coat. “And they all say that you are drunk,” she continued, with a half-sob. “Ob, Tom, v's shame- “Drunk!” cried Mr, Baxter, indignantly. “I should Uke to meet anybody who says that I'm drunk! Let me explain, daring. Til come out now.” And then he caught sight of his vicar again, and shrank back—“Is that man never going?” “What man?” asked Miss Alice, with impa- tience. “Really, Tom, you must be ‘mad to-day.” “Why, the clergyman, Alice, dear; do you know who he is?” “Of course I do; it’s Mr. Grayson, a vicar somewhere in Yorkshire, an oid college ‘friend of papa’s; they haven't met for twenty’ years. I'm sure he’s not an alarming person—in fact, théonly strange thing about is that about twenty People have mistaken him for your man—Mr. traightway, you know. Are they at all alike?” “Yes, they’ are—rather,” gasped Tom, scarcely knowing whether he ‘on his head’ or heels. “Come and introduce him to me, darling. I'll make it ali right with your father.” And he did; but it will be some time before he hears the last of that ericket match, Not Knowing. Heb. zi. 8. Tkmow not what will befall me!

This, it must be sald, was Perfectly true, and of course Mr. straightway could offer no ¥alid objection, as Baxter had done all bis work for the day.

So he ensconced himself in the pavilion and awaited the ing of the play with pleasurable impatience. | ‘The Heathcotes were all enthustastic cricketers, and he countedon ther appearance by 12 o'clock at the latest. ‘The match commenced in due course, but upon Its varying fortunes it 1s not necessary to dwell. The ,Heathcotes also arrived, and Toi at once took'up @ position on the drag’by the side of Miss Alice, the warmth of whose greeting speedily banished all fears and qualms of conscience from bis breast. Nothing, in fact, could have been wore perfect than Mr. Baxter's happiness up to the luncheon interval” His stentorian “well hit” or “well bowled” could De heard a hundred yards away; he clapped his hands, stamped, and waved his hat like the veriest schoolboy, and meanwhile he Was unremitting in his attention to the girl of Lis heart. Two o'clock struck. ‘The bell rang for luneb, and the occupants of Mr. Heathcote’s drag prepared for the substantial meal which forms so prominent a feature of the two great matches at Lord’, Tom by no means des- Pised creature comforts. Mr. Straightway’s cu- Fates were expected, at all events when with him and on duty, to follow their vicars example in asceticism, So a good lunch was very acceptable to him. He had supplied Alice’s wants, and was tn the act of lifting to his mouth a piece of salmon, When, suddenly he turned pale, his Jaw fell, his Byes dilated, and the piece of salinon, accompanied Dy the fork, fell unheeded to the ground. Tt was tbo true! Beside the very next drag, talking toa gentleman on the box-seat, stood & Yall, lean man, tn clerical attire, whose figure was horfibly familiar to the guilty curate. He could not be mistaken, It was Mr. Septimus Straight- ‘way, though what could have brought the rever- end gentle Lord's was beyond Tom’s tmag- Imation, The vicar had his back turned, and 4 not suspect his curate’s proximity. ht was the only i “Good gracious, Tom!” cried Miss Alice, “what onearth Is the inatter?

The Heatucotes’ family butler, Mr. Binns, was ali Old friend of Tom's, and might be relied upon. Glancing warily out of the opposite window Mr. Baxter espied ‘Binns opening a bottle of cham- Paghe, and attracted his attention as nolselessly ‘Bs possible, he whispered, im great agitation “Binns!” “please say to Miss Alice that Iam not well, ani that I have gone to take a walk, to bathe my Binns—but for ‘merey’s sake Know that Pm in here.

If this extravagant and utterly uncompensating ture in funerals was confined to people of abundant means, who can afford any outlay on funeral 0o- casions, It would bea matter of little or no con- cern to the public; but sofar as there has been ‘any growth of simplicity in funerals 1t has been chiefly among the more intelligent and opulent People, while those who can least afford extrava- gant funerals are compelled by what they regard a8 an imperious custom to exhibit their apprecia- ton of their dead by the wanton outlay of money in thetr burial. 44 great funeral parade on the burial of the prt Yate citizen is not unreasonable, but it fairly crosses the line of vul display. Grief for the dead is the most saci of the world’s many sor- rows, and it 1s the last thing that should be para- ded before the unsympathetic multitude. Indeed, the burial of the dead should be as far removed a3 Peay trom the outside world. The dead should sacred tothe gaze and loving office of those who mourn for them; and there should be abso- lute exclusion of the curious idlers whose presence so sadly jars the sanctity of lef. So ostenta- tous has me the display of the merest regu- lation respect for the dead that many of the death notices in the public journals have added to them ‘the wise admonition, “Please omit flowers,” and many others have thé still better admonition, “In- terment private.” The admonitions, forced by Jove of lavish display, teach the lessOn that all should learn, and the lesson that would save thou- sands of poor families from starvation or severest sacrifice for months after a funeral, merely to gratify the vulgar tastefor vain pomp and idle Ceremony in the burial of the dead, ‘This tendency to parade and display on funeral occasions 1s oppressive upon the largest portion of citizens in every community, for the majority of the people in every city or ‘neighborhood are in moderate or straitened circumstances, They feel compelled to imitate those of fortune in ostenta- ome Tespect for Fei aay oda cre es lowers, carriages, and’ decking whole familles in the’ Darbarsus habliiments ot "woe, they often involve themselves in debts which they cannot pay or must practice the severest self- dental for months thereafter to defray the cost of What is simply & mockery of honest grief. It 1s not only a needless oppression of rsons of humble means, but it is @ urlesque of the sincere ‘sorrow that 1s felt for the dead. The assumption that love for the dead is exhibited in a profusion of costly flowers, or in a costly casket, or in a long line of costi y carriages, tor {dle lookers-on, is simply farcical. It strips the love for the dead of its holiest offices and transforms a funeral into the empty pomp ofa vulgar parade, while it impoverishes many to the verge of want, And why ts it done? Simply because many of those who can afford It make a parade of funerals, as if parade and ex- saree nce were tributes of respect for the dead; and tl r, often more sincere in their grief, are taught that the measure of respect for their loved ones who are called away ts the measure of pomp and extravagance exhibited ia their burial. ‘The world is growing in intelligence, and asit advances in enlightened civilization the simplicity of funerals will surely follow, Just as intelligence Increases, the love of hollow pomp and ceremony 1s diminished, and the severest simplicity In the burial of the dead will be a certain outgrowth of a higher standard of culture among the people. The vulgar display of studied extravagance 1s a Tooratices ‘ag the ostentatious parade of Woe in unhealthy and unsightly crape is a relic of barbarism, adopted and sot ed by the caprice of fashion; and both insult the sincere grief of the honest heart. The burial of the dead ts solely the affair of the sorrow-smitten household, and be- reavement can have no taste or tolerance for the pageant that invites the idle mul- titude and that exacts oppressive tribute from the poor. It is simply a want of broad intel- gence that makes the Stewarts and the Vander- Dilts erect great burglar-proof vaults to protect the remains of their dead from the grasp of the thief who would steal them for a ransom. Had ‘hey erected a crematory and incinerated the bodies, as did the most enlightened of the earlier civilizations, they could preserve all that can be preserved of their departed friends in the beautiful urn and make {ta hdusehold treasure; but they teach extravagance and ostentatious display, and, in the case Stewart, it is not even certain that his dust rests under the costly monument that is inscribed with his name, ‘There is every reason for simplicity n funerals. Simpligity ts the only thing that harmonizes with the grief of the home that is shadowed by the angel of sorrow, and the ostentatious display ot bereavement under the fitful regulations of fash- ton offends the affectionate memory of the dead, Let pulpit and press and intellivent teachers of every class unite to bring into favor the osten- tatious display of costly funerals and costly fan- tastic mourning apparel, and the poor will not alone be protected from needless and oppressive Gace but all will be protected from the vulgar pomp and ceremony which ever mock tiose who sincerely mourn the loss of their household Care SSS ewe ey Judge Goodrich and the Atheist, From the St. Paul Pioueer Press. ‘The late Judge Aaron Goodrich had a sincere contempt for all nen who affected to be what they were not. He never lost an opportunity to punc- ture the thin veil of their pretensions. One was discussing with him one day the existence of a God. He was an atheist, and remarked with a sneer: “If God lets me alone I'll never trouble him.” “Ny dear sir,* sald the judge, “I have al- ways had the firm béifef that you gentlemen never had the least cause for worry as to God’s bothering his bead about you, He finished with you when you were created,” ——_——+e+____ Iadian Traditions, From the Florence (Arizona) Enterprise. The Pima Indians select several promising youths oftheir tribe from tme to time for repositartes of their traditions, Judge J. D. Walker says, and they are carefully instructed in the historical legends pertaining to their tribe, being required tocommit them faithfully to memory. They in turn instruct thelr successors, and thus preserve the traditions in the exact language recited by their ancestors of many years ago. They have knowledge of the tribe that bulit the old Casa Grande and other vast buildings, whose ruins new excite such in- terest and curiosity. The descendants of this tribe now live in Sonora, and from them it may be possible to learn much of the civilization that once prevailed along the Gila River, sen Sa at Why He Kept ‘Them Out, From the Omaha World.

It was in London, and Just outside the window within which our studies ‘were supposed to be carried on was a leaden roof, whereon could be observed at every hour the do- mestic manners and social customs of these rest- jess little rascals. We were never tired of their antics—their tempestuous love making, their Inde- fatigable housekeeping, the petulant quarrels, sharp tongued and sharp beaked too; and they cast shrewed little glances from Lime to Lime at us with much the expression of a party of sav: ges mang. merry near the great idol of some divinity. since ‘those days, like most other Americans, we have be- come rather blase on this subject, less responsive to the sparrow’s advances and have finally come to consider him no better than a winged rat, In fact he is in one respect a good deal worse, for he 1s do- ing what the rats cannot do:—driving our song birds from their former haunts about our homes to distant and unknown resorts, Where they can be free from his chattering persecutions, About our home there are fewer song birds than ever within our recollection, Not a ‘le catbird came last Summer, Nor could we hear of one about the nelgh- ‘borhood; not a wren; not even the valorous little Diuebird; not a tanager; not a martin; not an oriole, Formerly there were many,and the groves morning and evening resounded with their: led notes; last year they were fewer; this year there were none. A pair of scarlet rs anda of orchard orioles were indeed seen for a week or but were soon killed or driven off. Only the Fobins ana the Spotted thrushes hold thetr ground and who can tell how long they will do so? “These three pests, sparrows red saulrrels ond. stroluing Si ne Stn cats asa, every lover of ve ‘to have all such vermin shot at sight, Werd About Sports.

A good tollet article should not contain more than from9 to 18 per cent of water. ‘The unscrupulous manufacturer increases the amount of water in various ways. In some instances he forces water into the Soap as It hardens after the bolling it undergoes; in other cases he mixes the water by mechanical means into the soap; 1n a third and equally large class of cases he inttdduces some powerful chemical, such as Glauber’s salts, which enables him to Introduce agmuch as 70 per cent of water. It 1s obvi. ous, therefore, that ten pounds of honest toilet soap ‘would contain nine pounds {{ thoroughly dried, and that ten pounds Ueated chemically ” would contain [ess than three pounds. Nor is the wrong contined to sell- ing three pounds for nine to the innocent pur- chaser, ‘The spurious soap 1s affected by water five Umes as much as the genuine.

The Old-Fashioned Boy. From the New York Commercial Advertiser. “We talk a good deal about old-fashioned things,” sald an old gentleman yesterday. “I tell you what I'd like to see, and that’s an old-fash- toned boy. There's a big difference between the boy of to-day and the boy of fifiy years ago, espe- cally in regard to those things that administer to comfort and pleasure. Perhaps it 1s only an old boy's partiality for old ways, but It seems to me that the hard experience of the ola boys did :aore for them in many Ways than the softer and easter lot of the new boys does for them. The former Were quite as happy, with the littie they hud as the latter ‘are with thelr much; and they were taught—what the others are not—economy, Indus- ty, ingenuity, selt-dental, self-reliance, the value Of inohey, the necessity of labor. Probably the mettiod of training boys makes more gentie- men, but the old method made more men; and ‘he world needs men more than it does gentle- men.” ————+e+ The Boston Saleswoman. From the Boston Budget. One of the visitors to a prominent Boston millt- nery establishment the other day was a lady who Was evidently seeking an article of headgear that Was both neat and cheap, but who, thinking it would be derogatory to her dignity tostate exactly what she desired, consumed the time and the pa- tence of the saleswoman by her inspection of nearly every hat or bonnet in the place, She had one invariable comment asshe returned eack arti- ele to thesaleswoman decided,” whatevt and that- was thatit was *too rtlat might be. At length she ‘tureuie condescenston and in same unintelligible phraseology: “What T Would like to see 1s One of those nondescript noth- ings—you know What I mean.” ‘The saleswoman had aot the remotest idea of what Was meant, but, disgusted with the trifler and her monoto- nous colument on What had been shown her, re- piled tronically: “I am sorry, madam, I cannot suit you, but We nefther deal with norin nonde- script nothings; on the contrary, our goods and our patrons are all ver ded."

During long storm, persons who are well versed in weather lore are often heard to console themselves with the prediction that there will be achange of weather when the moon changes, Nasmyth and Carpenter characterize as a popular error, in its most absurd form, this belief that the gradual turning of the moon’s face toward and away from the sun could, at certain points, upset, the existing condition of ouratmosptiere, gencrave clouds and pour down rains. In England (and the same may be said of much of America) the weather changes about every three days, and there 1s a change of the moon every seven’ days, 80 that many coincidences must occur. Those who believe that “the moon rules the weather” always credit such coincidences to lunar influence, But the theory fs untenable unless it applies to every case fand ubless the same effect 1s always produced ‘by the saime cause. ‘Yo suppose that a change of the moon Will turn dry Weather to wet, or wet to dry, indiscriminately, is the merest clitldishness and contrary to.all meteorological records. oO ‘Why He Didn’t get Waited On.

WHY AMERICAN WOMEN ARE PALE AND DE- PRESSED—WHAT ENGLISH WOMEN ARE DOING NOW IN AMERICA. ‘From the Medical Record. 4 One of the leading London physicians was incon- ‘Yorsation with a lady of his aquaintance yesterday. “Why ist” asked the doctor, “that 20 many of the ladies whom I see here are pale and apparently weary?” “Ob,” replied the lady with whom he was convers- ing, “that must be your imagination, doctot ‘But how many of your lady friendsare in perfect or ‘even good health?” asked the physician. “How many can say they are never tired, donot feel nervous and irritable, depressed or with a sense of “bearing down’ that is almost maddening. How many feel full of life ‘and sentiment, have a healthy appetite, sleep well, and really enjoy existence?” “You are coming down to stern facts, doctor,” sadly Tesponded his companion, “and I may as well confess that out of my entire acquaintance I know of only two or three women who can truly declare that they are really well, But what can we do, doctor?” “Observe the laws of health and take proper exer- cise and stimulants, The English women arethe finest physical creatures on the face of the globe, and they Observe these habits constantly."* “But do you:think it right, doctor, for ladies to take stimulante!™ “Asa beverage? No, Asan aid to health and life? ‘Yea, It is decidedly the fashion in England for ladies to take pure stimulants asan aid to health, and tt is certainly having a good affect. One of the most emi- nent physicians in London, being no other than Prof. John Gardner, says: ‘The advocates of total abstinence signally fail to produce evidence in support of their opinion that ali stimulants are inimical to health and longevity. Science, common sense, Holy Scriptures, and all experience testify to the benefits to be de- rived” ‘ Only pure stimulants can be helpful to any woman. In writing upon this very subject the celebrated Dr. ‘J. M. Carnwall says: “Iam most happy to say after a thorough test, that for persons suffering with nervous and general debility or any wasting disease, or for delicate persons or invalids, Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is the best tonic and purest stimulant with which I am aquainted.” ‘The well-known United States chemist, R.8. G. Paton, says: “Ihave made acritical chemical examination of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey and find it to be absolutely pure, free from fusel oil ‘and all other adulterante.” There are thousands of ladies throughout the land who are using this pure compound in healthful quan- tities every day. Physicians know how beneficial it is, and ladies very soon learn its strengthening and pleasing effect. It takes women who are in the depths of despondency and restores their cheerfulness by im- proving their health. It assists nature to do its work, and thus makes life not a burden, but a blessing. It becomes, in fact, a true friend to the tired, overbur- dened, and delicate women who long for some help that will bring health and happiness. aus Tse Rose For Our Elegant Spring and Summer Clothing has commenced.
