From the Philadelphia Tiny Shortly after the war a combination of Philadelphia men, some of whom still oc- cupy high positions in the political world, formed a ring, having for !ts object the evasion of the whisky tax, which was then very onerous, amounting to $2 a gallon. This provision of the revenue law w very unpopular, and illictt distilleries sprang up in every direction in this city. The larger ones, which were openly con- ducted, were financially supported by promi- nent politicians, whose agents laughed at the efforts of the government authorities to make them fully amenable to the law. They falsified their books in a successful effort to evade the payment of the obnox- fous tax. In this emergency the late James J. Brooks, who had been appointed an agent of the internal revenue depa nent by President Johnson, was or- dered to Philadelphia, with instructions to uproot the conspiracy. He predict2>d that the effort would cost him his fe, but he courageously undertook the task. He went from distillery to distillery, making rigid examinations of their books. examin- ing their entries of grain receipts, and dis- covering wide discrepancies between the announced output and the number of bar- rels of whisky which would naturally be produced. He proved such a thorn in the side of the distillers that it was determined that he should be terrorized into a relaxa- tion of his labors. In the light of subse- quent investigation it 1s not belicved that there was any intention on the part of the whisky ringsters to kill him, but it is ab- solutely certain that they raised a large fund to employ men to assail the govern- ment detective and drive him from Phila- delphia. The money subscribed for this purpose was given under the guise of being for the relief of the victims of a mine dis- aster in western Pennsylvania. Prior to this time the whisky ring had suc- cessfully evadel the examinations of in- ternal revenue agents by threats, cajolery or bribes. In Brooks they found a fearless and an honest man. He would not accept their money, and he laughed at their threats. Several attempts to physically as- sault him failed to deter him from his duty. It was then determined that he should be terrorized into flight. On September 6, 1860 he was in Keenan's wholesale whisky establishment, at 112 North Front street, and while engaged there in examining a book containing the government entries he was approached from behind by the three hired ruffians, and assaulted with black- jacks. When they thought he was beaten into insensibility, they turned and ran, but he staggered to his feet and followed them, whereupon one of their number—supposed to be Mara—drew a revolver and fired. The bullet entered near Brooks’ heart, and he fell bleeding to the floor. The bravos jumped into a waiting carriage, and, de- spite the efforts of the citizens, who were attracted by the noise of the encounter, succeeded in escaping. The outrage at- tracted widespread indignation. Mayor Fox offered a reward of $1,000 for the arrest of the assassins, and the following day United States Marshal Gregory expressed tHe feel- ings of the government by offering a re- ward of $5,000 for the apprehension of the frgitives. One month later they were cap- tured in New York city. For several weeks Detective Brooks hovered between life and death, but a hearty constitution and careful habits of life carried him safely through the ordeal. The assault, however, proved the downfall of the whisy ring. It could not stand the wave of popular indignation which rolled against it. The public, which had been careless-minded regarding the collection of the excessive tax, resented the employment The trial of the three men was one of the most notable ever held in Philadelphia. Mc- Laughlin made a sort of confession, but before he appeared in front of a jury he had been induced in some mysterious way not to betray the agents who had given him employment as an assassin. They were tried before Judge Ludlow, found guilty, and sentenced to the full penalty of the law, seven years’ solitary confinement at hard labor. Four months later McLaughlin died. —— Parin Uses Lots of Ice. From the New York World. Among the first of the many curious things that impress the American summer visitor to Paris Is the way the French have of doling out ice as if {t were diamonds, and the horror which Parisians profess for the American custom of tcing their drinks and thereby Impatring their diges- tions. Notwithstanding all this the con- on of ice In Paris, especially for do- tic uses, has increased rapidly during 's, and {f it continues at the same rate it will not be long before it surpasses that of New York.

She courtesied re- spectfully to the priest and opened the sit- ting rcom door. “May I speak with the doctor a moment. father,” she asked, before you see the pa- tient?” “Of course, Mrs. Warren,” replied the priest. “It is you who have sent for me, and you must know whether the summons is urgent.” “I am very sure the patient is in no im- mediate danger,” she said, “and I shall de- tain you but a moment.” ‘There was a bright light in her eyes and a red spot glowed on either cheek as she hdrew the doctor into the hallw He 1 not tell whether her changed manner wel xpressive of hope or excitement due to renewed fear. “Doctor,” she sald, ‘cious as you or I. Have you spoken with him?” “1 have spoken to him, but he has not answered.” “What does he do?” “He keeps his eyes intently on me, tens to all I say, but gives no sign. Some- ou “I believe he ts as Is He in Extremes, Doctor? times he seems to wander, as if he were trying to remember something, but the ex- pression of his eyes is intelligent. There is none of the vacancy of delirium in them. “H'’m,"” murmured the doctor. “What do you think?” “This, doctor, that he knows my face, but cannot yet understand where he is or how he cime here. Doctor, if he comes to speak, I beg you let me be the one to hear him.” “But you asked me yourself about the priest last night.” “Yes, I remember. I thought then he was going to die.” “J had but just got home when Father Reardon came jogging by. He, too, had been at a bedside pretty much all night, for his parishioners, you know, are as scattered as my patients—and as few in number, I gues Well, you are acquainted with him as we all are, and you know how readily his sympathies are aroused. I never ap- pealed to him in vain. When I told him about the stranger of his faith who had fallen into trouble, and of the inquiry you made, there was no other course open to him, as he saw it, but to come.”” “T wouldn’t for anything,” said Mrs. War- ren, as If speaking to herself, ‘stand be- tween Freeman and his religion. It is more than probable that he would like to see the father, and it !s more probable still that he would speak to the priest when he would not to me. Doctor Nason,’’ and she looked up at him appealingly, “is it true that Catholic priests always respect the $ecrecy of the confessional? “I never heard of an instance,” he re- pled, gravely, “where a priest disclosed a single word told to him in his capacity as eonfessor. Even if there were exceptions, I’am sure that you could trust Father Reardon.’ “Yes, yes; he ts a good man, and yet I wish he had not to hear—doctor, you will let him be the only one? You won't per- mit this Mr. Golding to speak with the patient?” The doctor drew a long breath. “Not without your permission,’ plied. “Thank you,” she said. “Will you see the patient before the priest goes in?” “Certainly. As the curer of the body I must see that he is in safe condition to meet the father.” Dr. Nason entered the sick chamber, and Mrs. Warren watched him as he stood by the bed, felt Dutton’s pulse and asked him in a cheery voice how he felt. Dutton’s eyes contracted slightly as he gazed at the doctor doubtfully. Then he turned them upon Mrs. Warren steadily for a moment, finally closing them and an- swering nothing. The doctor did not repeat his question, but thrust a thermometer into Dutton'’s mouth. The patient took it in a matter-of-course fashion, as if he were perfectly alive to the situation, but he kept his eyes closed and uttered no sound. Presently Dr. Nason put up his thermome- ter and went into the hall, closing the door behind him. “There is no danger to the patient,” he sald, “in the priest’s visit, no matter how serious their conversation may be.” Father Reardon was accordingly notified. “Is he in extremis, doctor?” he asked as he stepped toward the sick room. “Far from it, apparently,” returned the doctor. The priest bowed slightly and passed on, he re- and after he had entered the chamber Mrs. Warren opened the doar from the sitting rcom into the hall and: sat down near it. Had she tried she could not have overheard the words of the priest by the patient's bed- side, but she was not listening for words nor was the doctors:who stood beside her. Both Istened, however, with the same pur- pose, but with very different views of it. At first they heard only the low murmur of Father Reardon'sevoiee. He appeared to be asking questiors-of ‘the sick man, and Dutton seemed to be treating his inqufries as he had those of Mrs. Warren and the doctor. { After two or three minutes of this there was the sound of anottier voice, speaking apparently in impatience, and Mrs. Warren exclaimed without looking up at the doctor: “He speaks! I knew he would tell the pre !’ and she burted her face in her hands. lr. Nason made ‘no comment, but he looked very thoughtful, and his face grew even ; aver as the patient's voice contin- ued, ied, losing its sharp quality of tone and sirking to a steady, even murmur as of a man telling a long story. Meantime Mr. Warren had gone to the kitchen, where he was trying to reassure Elsie, who was in a very nervous condition. He had not intended to go into the sick rocm unless summoned, but he was almost eee that his daughter's apprehension gave him so convenient a clear of Golding. erty Sree That energetic, resourceful individual had ned the group of neighbors at the log yard, and was further instilling their pangs with the poison of suspicion, while ue thoprenee es open for the reappearance “You see how seriou: x4 suhen the doctor re ring a priest to bedside.” “I thought you said last evening,” = tarked King, who had been profe ndly impressed by Mr. Warren's defiance, “that this Dutton or Freeman as you called him then, had done a great wrong.” “So I did, and it was true. But didn’t 1 say that Freeman would come with me and do as I said? I had in mind what I could pot very well tell you then, that I was following him in a spirit of forgiveness. The man had long been my friend and partner. What if he had gone wrong for orce?_ And especially now shouldn't I be the first to defend him and look after his interests “Guess that’s so,” said King, not know- ing what else to say, but feeling a doubt nevertheless as to Golding’s sincerity. Had either of the others at that moment de- clared their belief in Warren, King would have hastened to rank himself on the old soldier's side as against all strangers and against all suspicion. After several minutes has passed Gold- ing could not.resist the impulse that drew him to the house, and he went around to the front door and knocked gently. Mrs. Warren opened it for him. She did not irvite him to enter. “Madam,” he said, “with the shadow of death upon my friend you cannot refuse me the privilege of seeing him, the small hope of a last word with him “I do not think he will die,” replied Mrs. Warren, without moving. “But the presence of the priest—” “He was sent for when the case looked dangerous.” “Then Freeman is better?” “I think so0."" She would have attempted to withdraw for Golding was clearly set upon urging his requests anew, when Father Reardon opened the door of the sick room and came out, closing it carefully behind him. He stepped into the sitting room to get his hat, while the doctor rose, and Mrs. War- ren gazed at him apprehensively, and Gold- he said, thinks it advisable to the unfortunate man’s Freeman, Whispered Golding,Where’s the President. irg edged his way to the hall. The priest found his hat, and as he turned to go he made some commonplace remark about the weather. “Father Reardon,” said Mrs. Warren, “we have but recently finished breakfast. You have a long way to go. Won't you have a cup of coffee or tea, and let Elsie get_you something to eat?” “I have had breakfast, thank you,” he re- plies ut I would be glad of a cup of cof- fee. Mrs. Warren called to Elsie, who prompt- ly opened the door at the end of the hall, and gave her the needed instructions. Then, while Father Reardon went down the hall to the kitchen, followed by the doctor, Mrs. Warren turned and closed the front door. Golding was standing on the threshold, but he was not proof against her plain determination to shut him out, and he stepped back without a word. She bolted the door and went into the sick room. Dutton’s eyes were closed, but he opened them as she came in, and for an in- stant he looked as if he were about to say something. Mrs. Warren eagerly ap- proached the bed, but he shook his head very slightly and closed his eyes again. Mrs. Warren opened the door into ihe kitchen, and, drawing a chair to the threshold, sat down where she could keep her eyes upon the priest, and yet see at the same time what might go on in the sick room. Father Reardon was seated at the table sipping the coffee and chatting pleasantly with Mr. Warren about farm topics and such other matters as entered into the ordinarily uneventful life of Granite peo- ple. The priest and the old soldier were more than acquaintances, though their friendship could hardly be said to be close. They entertained a high regard for one another and never met without pausing for more or less conversation. Father Reardon was evidently not disposed to talk at length this morning, for he declined a second cup of coffee and pushed back his chair, preparing to go. Just then Golding stalked in at the back door, his face marked with a frown of de- termination. “Father,” he said at once, “I make no complaint against the people of this house who see fit to keep me from my friend’s dying bed, but I appeal to you in the name of Christianity and ordinary humanity. Freeman Dutton is my friend and partner; I have the right to know’— “Pardon me," interrupted the priest, ris- ing, “Dr. Nason is here. Your question properly should be addressed to him. I am not a physician for the body.” “Well, but.” protested Goiding, “here is a dying man and his closest friend is forbid- den the house. Won't you tell me whether he has spoken to you? Is there no mes- sage Te confided to you for me? My name is Ben Golding—” The priest shook his head and there was an incomprehensible smile on his lips as he answered: “The patient spoke to me, yes. He gave Ine no message for you or anybody else. As to what else passed I can only say with absolute frankness that the man in that room had no need or desire for the services of a priest.” Golding stared his discomfiture, while the priest bowed gravely and left the room. He turned back after he had entered the hall Father Riordan Was Coffee. to add: “You will, of course, interpret noth- ing that I have said as meant to influence in the slightest degree the conduct of my friends in a matter that apparently con- cerns only themselves. Mr. and Mrs. War- ren are their own judges as to what is right to do.” The priest said “Good morning” all around, and when he departed Mrs. Warren was standing in the doorway that led from the kitchen to the sick room, Golding near the kitchen stove, and Elsie, her father and the doctor in the hall. The latter three went into the sick room. “I've done with appealing,” exclaimed Golding, after a moment. “I demand the privilege of speaking tc Freeman. The priest says he spoke to him. He'll speak to me. I'm sorry to make trouble, but this 1s my right and I interd to assert it.” This was spoken in a voice that was per- fectly audible in the spare room, and dur- ing the speech Dr. Nason kept his eyes fixed upon the patient. Mrs. Warren did not stir, She leaned slightly against one jamb of the door and extended her right arm to the other, indicating her resolution to prevent Golding from entering. Dr. Nason bent to her ear and whispered: “T advise letting him come in. I feel very sure there will be no darger with your present. 1 will withdraw if you Sipping His ‘No, stay,” she returned, and she lowered her arm. “You may come in,” she said to Golding. He stepped quickly forward with a tri- umphant expression and approached the Led. Mr. and Mrs. Warren stood just back of him, looking on with painful anxiety, while Elsie and the doctor were a little apart, but still where they could see and hear everything that happened. The pa- tient’s eyes opened as Golding bent over him and asked: “Freeman, do you know me?” Dutton gazed steadily into the man’s eyes for a moment and then turned a va- cant, meaningless glance upon the others. It could not be said with certainty that he bad_ recognized his partner. “Freeman,”” whispered Golding, bending lower and speaking with appealing earnest- ness, “what have you done with—where is the president? The sick man’s cyes took on a slightly puzzled expression for an instant, and then they closed while he sighed wearily. “Man, man!” exclaimed Golding fever- ishly, ‘‘aren’t you going to tell me?” Dutton r2mained motionless. After a moment of waiting, Golding straightened up and gazed fiercely at the group about the bed. Mrs. Warren glanced inquiringly at the doctor, evidently anxious that the patient was being unduly excited, but Dr. Nason smiled in silence. “Well,” blurted Golding, striding across the room, “there are other ways. You've got him in your power and under your con- , but we'll see, my fine friends, He untolted the front door and went out. Dr. Nason motioned to his friends to fol- low him, and led them into the sitting room. “You see, I was right, Mrs, Warren,” he sald. “Yes,”" she respended, with evident relief, “but wasn’t it a dangerous experiment?” “I think not. Shall I tell you why?” All three looked their intense interest. “I believe that the man is malingering.” “Malingerir, repeated Mrs. Warren, doubtfully, “what does that mean?” “Your husband knows,” responded the doc- tor, with a smile, “A malingerer, Martha,” said Mr. War- ren, “is a soldier who feigns illness in order to escape duty.” “And you think Freeman is well, doctor?” exclaimed Mrs. Warren, in amazement. “He's not well, but the fever has abated; he {s conscious, as we know, from the fact that he talked’ with Father’ Reardon, even if there was no other proof. I should call him a convalescent with every chance of speedy recovery. I know nothing of his reasons for felgning non compos mentis, Eut it is pretty evident, isn’t it, that he doesn’t intend to have any talk with your man Golding? Believe me, Mr. Dutton is perfect- ly able to speak, and speak as intelligently as any of u (Zo be continued tomorrow.) — TAUGHT HIM A LESSON. A Bicycle Rider Who Was Crowded | Out of the Road. From the Toledo Blade. If the country had a few more such men as Mr. Nettleton, who tour the avenues and highways on their bikes, the road-hog would soon become a thing of the past, except, per- haps, in rare and isolated instances. Mr. Nettleton does a great deal of wheel riding through Ohio and adjoining states, and the other evening was returning awheel from Oak Harbor, when he was crowded into a deep ditch and his wheel slightly injured by a farmer. Nettleton rode out as far as ros- sible, giving plenty of room for the man to pass, but he never swerved an inch. The farmer was calied to stop, but when he raw that he had injured the wheel he whipped up his horse and away he went. He was fooling with the wrong rider ‘hat time, however. Mr. Nettleton’s wheel was not so badly injured that he could not mount and give chase. He finally caught up with the man, headed him off and co npelled him to stop. The farmer's excuse was that he had just purchased a new dog, which Icy in the vehicle, and he was so preoccupied with the dog that he did not notice the whzel- man. As the wheel was not greatly injured, Mr. Nettleton, after being informed that the man’s name was Jacob Brown, and that he lived near Cedar Point, compelled him to apologize most penitently, and let him go, after giving him a sharp lecture on the rights of wheelmen. The next even'ng, while on Ontar‘o street, Mr. Nettleton saw a man pick up a bottle and throw it out to smash upon the pavement, where hundreds of riders were passing every day. What does Mr. Nettleton do but wheel about, over- take Mr. Man, and he didn’t leave him until he had watched him gather up every iust fragment of that bottle, and the fellow made a solemn promise to never repeat the performance. MISSIONARY “SAINTS.” Mormon Proselytizers on Their Way to Europe. From the Philadelpbia Telegraph. The steamer Waesland carried from this port to Liverpool a batch of thirty Mormon saints, who, departing under the fostering wing of Elder W. W. Kiddle of Salt Lake City, will for the next two years roam at large over England and the continent in quest of “converts.”” On Saturday of next week another dele- gation of these missionaries starts from Salt Lake City, bound for Philadelphia on a similar errand. As men, they were fine specimens; as missionaries, they’ certainly @id not affect clerical garb or clerical bearing. They did not appear in the least reluctant to tell about their errand, one of the brawny youths acting as spokesman, and employ- ing well-chosen words, and the rest sup- porting or correcting him as he talked. Yes," he said, “you made a good guess. We're all farmers. You think it strange that we should go out as missionaries? Well, that is the way the Mormon Church works. Now, 1 come from Idaho; most of the others are from Utah. We are all saints of the church, but that means noth- ing more than that’ we are regular mem- bers. Every member of the church, man or woman, is a saint. We have our Sun- day schools and our improvement societies; and we till our farms, care for our fam- ilies, and obey our church. The mission- aries are usually sent out in the fall. Wil- fred Woodruff, the president of the Mor- mons, issues a call to the men who are to go. The call is made after a man’s cir- cumstances have been considered. He can refuse to go if he so desires, but there is a certain amount of moral compulsion in the call. We all regard missionary work as a sort of duty, and never refuse if we can possibly comply. “It is all disinterested; it has to be. A man is asked to go abroad for two years and pay his own expenses. His wife and children must support themselves as best they can, with the help of the saints in their vicinity. “When we land at Liverpool we will start in couples for cur field of work. Fight of us will labor in England, ten in Germany; the others will be located in Scandinavia, Norway and Denmark. We will travel from place to place, expounding the doc- trines and persuading the people to come to Utah. I don’t know that any of us are preachers; the majority never addressed a gathering in our lives. We just do the best we can, and when our time is up we return with as many converts as are able to pay their passage. This is the regular system vf proselytizing which has long been in vogue with the Mormom Church, and it has good results.” The converts, the four saints declared, were men as well as women. They averred that women were not sought as wives in the interest of polygamy, saying that epoleany was no longer practiced in tah. “Besides,” added one of the young mis- sionaries, ingenuously, “there are more than enough women in Utah already.” —s00 SOME QUEER BONES. The Foot of an Antediluvian Equine Found Near Silver Lake. The Lakeview (Ore.) Examiner has this correspondence from Silver Lake: I have lately returned from a fossil hunt on what I count the great Oregon desert, which has become famous to the scientific world on account of the many fossils of extinct cnimais that it contains—many of which have never even been classified. On my recent trip, in company with H. J. Rinehart, who was my associate and helper, we found some new and very interesting fossils that I had never observed before. One is a foot of the equine, not larger than a small Shetland pony, and from the ap- pearance of the coffin joint the foot must ‘e stood quite vertically. The other foot, or part of a foot, is hard to describe, being well sustained by a strong joint and deep grooves. We also found the toes of some animal that must belong to the ungalata or ungalatesall. All told, we brought in quite a lot of bones of different animals, and emong them a beast whose bones I had found before, but was never able to de- scribe. The bones were badly broken, but enough were gathered to see that he was rather a singular beast, as the bones are short and very crooked. These fossil beds were named by Prof. Cope the eques, or equine, beds of Oregon, because the horse predominated in num- bers. Thera were two varieties of this ani- mal. One was very large and clumsy, while the other was small, and, from his organi- zation, must have possessed great speed. ————-+e- A DINNER CONVERSATION. What He Said and What She Said in Reply. From the Chicago Times-Herald. The shy young man, having escaped the rigors of the afternoon tea, went to a din- ner party last week. His version of it, combined with that of an eye-witness, con- firms all expectations of intellectual re- freshment. In the first place, of course, young man is presented to young lady whom he is to take into dinner. Young man visibly embarrassed, young lady silent. They enter dining room that way, and so take their seats. Young man passes the salted almonds to young lady. Helps him- self, and munches a single very hard and very briny almond in an agony of appre- hension. Young lady looks around and makes mental note of the company. Sees what so-and-so’s gown is like. Observes who has taken who in and comments to herself concerning evident prearrangement between individuals and probable collusion with the hostess. Young man, defiantly—“Hum—m-m.” Young lady—“Did you speak?’ Young man, articulating with difficulty— , well, yes, that is—I think I met your father, Col. Johnson, at the banquet last fall? Young lady—“‘Oh! you know dear papa?” Young man—‘Then Col. Johnson is your father?” Young lady- just lovely More silence, oysters. Young man, speaking with more difficulty (—I—believe I met your brother Frank at our club a while ago. He was Capt. Jenniberg’s guest.” Young lady—“‘Oh! you know dear brother Frank!" Young man—' Young lady— just lovel; ‘Another pause, more almonds, the soup and the hors d'oeuvres. The entrees are served and the entremet attacked. The young man, made glad with Madeira and Chablis, essays once more: [—I’m almost sure that I met your aunt, . Elderberry, at the Social Science Club ‘at home’ in September.” Young lady—“‘Oh you know dear aunt Mary?” Young man (in utter despair)—“I have that honor.” ¥oung lady—‘‘I do think dear Aunt Mary is too lowely for anything.” Young man falls savagely upon his roast and looks lorg upon the Burgundy when it is red in the goblet. More pauses, more al- monds and the rest of the dinner. At mid- night the young lady sitting on the edge of the bed and talking to a mother half usleep says: “Oh! Mr. Sheerwood took me in to dinner, and I do think he is so clever and just the loveliest conversationalis: —-———_+ e+__ People Who Look Over Houses. From Pearson's Weekly. “My duty is to show intending tenants over the ‘houses to let’ which appear on our books,” said a man employed by one of the great firms of land and house agents in London. , “It might surprise you to kncw that some people have a perfect craze for looking over houses, though they ere comfortably housed enough already, and have no immediate intention of re- moving. I have shown the same coupl>— middle-aged folks, with nothing to do ap- parently—over scores of houses, from cot- tages to mansions. “And as for ‘faddy’ people—well, I am afraid that the ladies are, in general, the hardest to please; but, then, you see, the whole responsibility is mostly left to them. Some of them find that every house they look at has some serious drawback, and they will keep me for hours at a time while they peer about. As a general prin- ciple, the ladies want a bigger and finer house than they can afford. Often enough the gentleman who accompanies them ‘d, but lolls about and “Yes; I think dear papa is more almonds and the have that pleasure.” ‘I think brother Frank is and Chocolates be sure ‘They have no superior.

In the matter of house decoration there is a tendency to revolt from the ornate, somewhat over-elaborate styles of the French, and to cultivate the severe sim- Plicity of the German renaissance. Chairs, upright, prim and rigid in outline, forbid- cing any suggestion of indolent ease, are shown, though their narrow seats and high backs are enriched with curious carving. Wainscoting of antique oak, carved in grif- fins, centaurs and other fantastic designs, the staining deftly contrived to imitate the substantial decorations of old feudal castles and baron‘al keeps, black with the wear of centuries, must skirt the apart- ment in which these chairs hold conspic- uous place. Quaint, stiff-looking tables of odd designs are in keeping, and capacious, Wide-shelved s:deboards and curious cabi- nets, extending almost to the ceiling, give character to the room, the candelabra and smaller ornaments of which are likewise distinctive. There is nothing finical, frivolous or effeminate in such an apartment; every article suggests days of stirring deeds. It 1s absolutely essential that a room fur- nished in the style of the German renais- sance should have on the high mantel- shelf and on the oaken sideboard a num- ber of beer mugs, so long associated with that country. “Three quarts of beer, and you will be in paradise,” reads the’ Ger- man legend on one grotesque-looking mug —a mug with a close-fitting top, and straight up and down from lid to bottom. Another antique treasure has a music box concealed underneath within the china walls. When the mug is tilted to the dvinker’s lips sume German melody greets his ears, and the moment the jug-like mug is replaced on the table the music cease: “True love will keep the heart héalthy, advises the reading on another drinking cup, whose blended coloring in blue and carmine is a delight to the eye. A curious, unique article of furnishing lately imported is the German water basin and ewer, commonly kept in the outer pas- sage or the living room of a peasant house- hold. The basin is shallow and oblong, being affixed to a wooden bracket, and the, burnished ewer is in the shape of a dol- phin, from whose mouth trickles the water. A room furnished in plain deal, after the Germaz: style, is shown by an artistic dec- orator on the avenue. The wooden furni- ture in this room is left in its natural con- dition, unstained and unvarnished, and is meant to be scrubbed with soap and water and kept sweet and clean. The floor is likewise uncovered, and is intendéd to be sanded, scrubbed and kept in scrupulously neat condition, and the walls and ceilings are without decoration. It is for the dining room of a fashionable country house that this expensive simplicity is intended—for it is expensive in the matter of the “elbow grease” and time that must keep It spot- less. The powers that be declare that such furnishing will be the rage for next sum- mer, and that the demand for the wooden platters, spoons, knives and forks which must accompany it will exceed the supply. The wooden platters used in these Ger- man rooms are ornamented on the outside with burned-in figures and emblems, as are the spoons and other accompaniments, soo, - CHILD LIFE INSURANCE, Efforts Being Made to Secure Legis lative Action. From the New York Times. It seems incredible that human nature should fall to such depths of unnatural wickedness as to be willing to inflict a slow, painful death upon a little child for the sake of obtaining a few dollars. Yet not only in England, where for years such atrocious crvelty has been practiced ex- tensively, but in this country, too, it has reached a stage that has attracted serious attention. Already in several of the United States the legislatures have been appealed to to take measures to suppress the evil. It is well known that there are outright murders committed, either by drowning, stabbing or poisoning, of adults and young persons by urnatural parents or guardians for the purpose of securing Insurance money on the death of the victims. In this country only Colorado has been able to procure the enactment of a law, and that has been pronounced unconstitu- tional by a judge of an inferior court, be- cause of some minor technical omission. But the Humane Society of that state hopes to overcome this obstacle. It is determined to ward off the growing evil by a careful enforcement of the law. The New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children 1s making every effort to secure a law, and sent a commit- tee to the last state legislative convention. Through the society’s excellent workers many instances of the evil are discovered. Appeals from other organizations ha: been received, urging it to ferret out the terrible crimes and take action against the perpetrators. ————~ee. THE ORGANS GOT MIXED. A Time That Episcopalian and Meth. odist Music Wouldn’t Chord. From the Savannah News. Two mammoth melody-making machines got mixed up and created considerable dis- cord at St. John’s Church recenily. The new organ, which is to be placed in the church, arrived a few days ago from the manufacturers, and a representative was sent out by the firm to place it in position and get it ready to turn over to the church in perfect order. He arrived yesterday, and started to open the cases containing the various pires. He had several cases emptied and commenced to assort the con- tents, when he discovered that the parts did not comply with the plans he held in his hand. They were pieces of pipes for an organ, all right, but he did not recognize them as his firm’s make. He was in a di- lemma for some time, and did not know how to proceed. He was quite certain he was in the right church, but the pipes did not fit the places. It was discovered a little later that there was another new pipe organ in the city, shipped from the same place, too, and con- signed to the Wesley Monumental Church. The boxes in which the organs were ship- ped were all marked diamond “H,” and not addressed to the consignees. Although the organs were purchased from different man- ufacturers, each of them, it appears, use the same shipping mark, and that accounts for the mixing up of the cases by the freight clerks here. ————-e+______ The Inventor of the Polka. From the Scientific American. The origin of the polka is not generally known, the irventor of the dance having been a young Bohemian girl named Han- iezka Selezka. She was a blooming young peasant msiden and the best dancer in the village of Costelec, on the River Elbe, and used to perform solo dances of her own in- vention at the various village festivities. It was in the year 1830, at a farm house, that the cesembled guests asked her to dance a solo, and she said, “I will show you something quite new,” and to the music of her own singing she Ganced the polka step, though with more elaboration than it is now performed. The dance be- came so popular that it was later made a national dance, and Haniczka named it pulku, as she sald it was danced in short steps; from pulku came polku, and finally polka, the dance three years later, in 1830, becoming popular in Prague, and in 1839 it was already danced at Vienna balls, and one year later became the most popular dance in Paris. Haniczka Selezka is still alive, surrounded by numerous grandchil- dren and great-grandchildren sprung from her own six sons and daughters. ——_—__+-e+_. Congress and Expositions.
