A young Ban, wheM aga waa eartainly not over twen-ty-flTa, bat wbaM taee bora arideaM of tba Bad lift ha waa leading ia the grant city, atood at the coaster toying with the fined ■ilk underwear la the market. "11*0 all right," ha went on la aa caey way that abewed that money waa no object to hiaa. “It’( all right to wear thie thing, but 1 never wear anything that'e not made for nee. That'e a good looking underabirt, but it la plain white. I don’t like white, and I don’t want to buy anything tbat'a not made for me. Can you make men hall dozen auita of Ana (ilk underwear and bare them ready in a week?" . "Yea,” waa the reply ol the buay man at the counter; "of coatee we can. They will tout |60 a euit.” "Blame the coat. You need not be afraid of your money. The governor’ll pay you." "Whet colore do you prefer?” "Lemme eeo. Say two of blue, two oi old gold and two of pink." Thirty minute* were consumed in measuring the young man’s attenuated anatomy, and m the young sprig turned on his heel to leave the store be said: "Send the bill home with e’m. I’ll see that the Governor pays you." The man behind the counter heaved a nigh of relief and went on with bis work. Talk about dromen being fussy and hard to-please! Jfo woman was ever so particular as that young man of to-day. Many a lady hashed a Ave-hundred-dollar dress fitted in less time and without half the worry and vexation that he gave the poor fellow who took hie measure for his underwear. But the young man of today is not to be tnfled with. He wants the best, lie makes his toilet with the ulmoet care. He begins with a perfumed bath in the morning, and his raiment is rich and gorgeous. He wears the finest silk underwear. This costs from $20 to $60 a suit, according to quality^ A delicious perfumed sachet bag is suspended from his ueck. It lays peacefully upon his znaaly boeom all day. In some suits of underclothing n little pocket is made in the breast of the undarshlrt for the perfumed powder bag to renoae ia. Ovdh tbia ia worn a plaio or fancy shirt. This will cost from $4 to $12, according to the inclination and the pocketbook of the wearer. Borne are plain. Others are embroidered with silk and fioas in tloral wreaths down tha center of the shirt. They have holes for one or three ^tuds. Others have head-embroidered work down the center. This is done in the convents in Paris, and the shirts are expensive, about $15 each. Still others are embroidered with colored ailks, but usually in floral designs. A few are ahown with whip#, horseshoes and other emblem* of the turf, but they are iuteuded mainly for men of aporting proclivities. Less expensive shirts are seen in embroidered pique. They are doited with little knots of Slack, blue, white or red silk. When the young man has arrayed himself in hie cost 1 r shirt, he puts on a pai r of stri pod trousers. These are out very wide. They cost him from $10 to $20 per pair. They are held in place by moire auk suspenders, embroidered with flora) wreaths, most roses and

liHaa of the valley, with crewel silks. They have silk or kid ends, and are lined with satin. They come ia all colon, and cost from $8 to $10 per pair. Some young men nave the buckles made of silver or gold, and this inoteasaa the ooet to at least $25 per pair. The young completes his toilet by putting on a high collar withont turned-over edges. Turned-over oollan are very generally worn, but they are not the correct style. In necktie* be has a variety to select from, but the four-in-haud is the most popular. All sorts of shades are worn, and no one color or combination ot colon can be said to be more popular than another. In riohnese of color and costliness our young men ot wealth have no end of noveltiee to select from. For instance, silk hose is very popular: they come in all colors. Fawn, brown, black and navy blue are popular: they coet $60 a dozen.

Diamonds anil pearls are in vogue lor shirt studs. Link alMve buttons in all sorts of designs are shown, but oaly neat and novel designs are popular. Tkin gold watch chains, without lockets, are in vogue. The those and hate of the young swell are much the same ns those worn last winter. The shoes are now made square-toed, and for evary-day uaa are laoed. Patent-leather shoe* are very popular, but they can not be worn rnuok in the streets just now.

TOE PACIFIC ROADS.

Recommendations of Committee of In-quiry-Majority and Minority Reports. New York, December 30.—The World's Washington special this morning gives a syoopeis oi the reports on the Pacific rosds, which will bo submitted to Congress. The majority report recommends; That tho time lor paymsut of tba debt due the Government be extended to fifty years, but that tho road •hall execute a formal mortgage to tho Government, wbieb now has only a statutory lieu; that tho debt be landed nt 3 per cent, per annum, payable semi-annually directly into the United State* Treasury, but that roads shall bmv* the privilege of takiag up any part of the debt in advance; that the president shall be empowered to appoint one trustee and the roads another, who ■hall have control of the investment of the sinking fund and other matters; that the roads shall provide for a sinking fund of 1 per cent, annually upon the totei amount of the debt to tho Government for ten years, and that the trustees shall then provide for the proper per centum of payments to the sinking fund so that the debts shall be paid by it at maturity; that the boards of directors of the two roads shall consent and agree that the law department of the United State* shall be vested with power to bring any salt, criminal or civil,’in beliali of the roads. Tbs minority report of Commissioner Pattison is radically different from that of bis associates in respect to his recommendations for action of Congreca. His report begins with a sweeping arraignment of former officers ot the Union Pacific and the present management of the Central Pacific, whose malfeasances diversion of money belonging to the stockholders of the roads, and deliberately fraudulent appropriation of Government bonds, are pointed out. He says that it is now not a question of payment of debt to the Governmeot, but of punishment of these criminals. He recommends, as a preliminary step, that the Government shall institnte suit in the courts to have the charters ot both roads forfeited, and tor the appointment of a receiver. He suggests that the roads, after the forfeiture of their charters, shall be offered for sale, and believes that they will be bought in by tbs stockholders. The minority report is not accompanied by a bill for Cougreta. Didn’t Know He Was Dead, Clear Water, Minn., December 30.— Willie Baxter died of diphtheria Monday.

But the Law to Punish Every Ulegol Sale of Liquor.

Portland, Me., December 30.—It is evident that Portland escaped a great danger during tbe storm of Wednesday night. Tha groat gale struck Portland head at 9:30 o’clock, at a time when in this harbor the wind ' seemed to be dying out. Up to that time, while tbe wind bad been terrific, blowing fifty miles an hour, the rain tailing continuously, keeper Strout and his assistants, Joe and Gil Strout, had no idea that anything unusual waa about to

occur.

"It was very clear,” said Gil Strout yesterday, "aud we could see a long way out through the rain, and when the great wave made its appearance we could see its white cap tar out and could watch its approach." Apparently the mouster wave came in the shape of a pyramid. It struck first against the outer line ot rock, and at that time, when the foundations of the mighty deep seemed to have broken up, a moss of water towered up even, as they believe, with the lighthouse itself. Between tbe line ot rock extending for perhaps a hundred feet along the sea line and the shore is an opening some forty feet deep, and varying from ten to twenty feet in length. This space was never filled with water until last night, when the giant wave broke ond filled it from above. Waves oi ordinary size and power breaking and pressing behind added their strength to that of the monster, and tbe entire moss was hurled sixty feet above high-water mark aeainst tbe engine, boiler and fog-horn house. The force of the blow was such that the building, built a* strongly as possible, was bent twisted and shattered. Great iron straps were snapped as though they had been pipe stems, and the receding wave carried with it everything ou shore, including stones weighing tons. A farmer, who lives on the shore of Cape Elizabeth, about two miles beyond the headlight, said; "When the wave was coming in it made a tearful roar, but when it struck the cliffs it seemed as though it fairly smashed them to pieces. The force of the blow was tremendous. Another such gigantic billow would have done woeful damage along the shore." Herrig Hangea by ■ Mob. Little Rock, Ark., December 30.—The Gazette’s St. Francis (Ark.) special says; "William Herrig who murdered his young wife and her paramour near here. Thursday, was hanged last night by a band of vigilantes who have been ou his trail since be fled to escape punishment for his crime. When found he was asleep under -a large tree, four miles north of Rector. He was informed that h# must die and made no protest. In fact, he said he was willing and ready; he had done nothing he had cause to regret. His wife had been untrue to him aud he had killed her lover, and this be regarded as justice. Regarding tbe shooting of his wife, he said he could ofi'er nothing in the way of defense. He was then banged on the tree under which he was found sleeping. His wife’s stage name was Julia Bennett before her marriage.’’ Wnntsa Divorce From a -ipeculating-Wife. Chicago, December 30.—Charles II. Tallmadge filed a bill for divorce this morning, and advanced a hitherto unheard-of ground for his application. For some time after his marriage peace reigned in tbe household. At stated periods the husband gave tbe wife money for the household expenses. But instead of using it for thia purpose tbe threw it away iu speculation on the open Board of Trade. Soon Tallmadge’s home was desolated, and the husband avers that when he told his wife she must htop speculating she left the house and has not returned. Low Tide on Ntaten Island. New York, December 30.—There was on unusually low tide yesterday about the shores of Staten Island, caused by the strong northwest wind. “Split Rock,” in the bay off Tompkinsville, S.

Reading, Pa., December 30.—The con▼entiou ot Reading Railroad employes, after n continuous session of nearly eight hours, adjourned at 3:30 o’clock this morning, and at that time decided to issue orders tor a general strike to take place at 12 o’clock to-day. Every man in the employ of the Reading Company, with the exception of passenger train crews, trackmen, signal tower men and creasing watchmen, ia to go on n strike, and fifteen minutes after the meeting the signal was flashed across the wires to Philadelphia and Williamsport. The resolution says that the men shall •trike and remain out nntil tbe company shall agree to arbitrate all differences. This iaolndes tbe shopmen in this city, who took the initiative in refuting to go out tarly thia week, thus breaking the backbone of tbe •trike at that time, and every man who belongs to the Knights. A resolution was also passed, offering a reward of $2,000 for the arrest of any person who in any way destroys or injures any of the company’s property. The order includes not only the hands oa the main line, but over thf whole system, and is to take effect at noon to-day. It is thought that the shop hands in this city will not obey the order. After the adjournment of the convention the miners held a separate session, and did not adjoarn until 5 o’clock. They concluded nothing definite in reference to striking, bat agreed to give full, financial aud moral support tothe strikers ou the railroad. Tha Schuylkill County delegation consists of 125 delegates, and they almost to a man predicted that the company’s 30,000 miners would strike if they were not continued at the 8 per

cent, advance.

The miner* did not decide to strike with the railroad men, because they are working by an agreement with the company, which is binding until January 1, and because they still have hopes that the company will con-

tinue the 8 per cent advance.

Chairman Lee, ot the executive, committee, before he left Reading this morning, declared that if a strike ot miners did take place, it would not ouly effect the Schuylkill miners, but those in the Wyoming coal fields as well os the Lehigh miners. He felt sure they would all remain firm, thus placing on strike at one time 100,000 miners, and not a

pound of coal could then be miqed.

Last night's convention consisted exactly of 360 delegates, a majority ot whom cume from the coal regions, the Lehigh and Wyoming miners being also represented. The convention was entirely secret. Hardly a delegate arrived before sundown last evening, and every one had disappeared from the city before daylight. The company’s officials in this city are not greatly exercised over the new order to railroaders to strike. They say the tfoins are all running on time, that they have all the men they want and others in reserve, and that tbe only danger is of a coal

(amine if the miners should strike. Work as Usual iu Ftiiladelphla.

' AFBllratUiS'Ronist-RT Reading, Pa., December 30.—This morning the convention made public tbe correspondence of the Kuights of Labor and Miners’and Laborers’Amalgamated Association in Pottsville, with President Corbin. In the firs: dispatch the men say that they are desirous of arbitrating, as public interests demand a satisfactory settlement, work to continue as usual pending arbitration. To this President Corbin replied that be had nothing to arbitrate. The men replied that “public interests should not suffer," and urgently appealed that negotiations open, in hopes of adjustment. President Corbin replied to this that the company had nothing to discuss or arbitrate. lie adds: “Any dictation by any one in our employ as to how we shall do our business will be*followed by the discharge of the meddler.” He says that employes must decide as between the Knights of Labor and the company. He adds; “If such allegiance is to the Kuights of Labor first, such men will not be tolerated in our service a minute." To this the men replied that they wanted "to avoid impending difficulty," but would contest every inch of ground, inspired with the motto: “No surrender until victory is complete." The Pennsylvania Schedule. Pittsburg, December 30.—Superintendent* of the Pennsylvania Company’s lines west ot Pittsburg met to-day at Manager Baldwin’s office here, ostensibly tor arrangement of new schedules. The demands ot the trainmen for an advance is also before them, but they refuse to say what will be done.

The Chioago printers’ strike is a failure. Tbe North Chioago Rolling Mill will reopen in a fortnight, with two hundred additional men, and run day and night. The glass workers in the East will strike Monday, against tbe rule that manufacturers shall employ such men as they see fit. Mayor Hewitt was one of the speakers at the aunual banquet ot the New York Board of Trade and Transportation, last night, and severely denounced the work of secret organizations as shown in the Reading strike. He said that unless the present struggle disrupted the order whieh caused it the issue of the next election would not be the tariff, but the maintenance of law and order.

The L, D. A S. Bale.

D. J. Mackey, presideut of the Evansville db Terre Haute and allied railroads, and his corps of officers, including General Traffic Manager Grammar, General Manager Ewing, General Freight and Passenger Agent Hopkins and Ganera! Solicitor Stevens, have been in. the city since last evening. They are here inspecting the I., D. & S. Railway property, with a view to a purchase, as predicted in The News last night. The Mackey syndicate have made a proposition for a controlling interest in tha second mortgage bonds. They hope to get these bonds at 40 oehta on the dollar, and it is understood that they can have them if they will take the entire amount of the second mortgage—$2,800,000. Thu would bring the purchase price up to abont a millioo-and-an-eighth. Of course the purchaser* will assume the obligations necessitated by thefirst mortgage. The officials this forenoon visited the shops and property of the I., D. dt S. (which by the way Center Township paid for without benefit) west of the city and this afternoon they are closeted at the Bates House under a strong outer guard. Meantime tbe auditors have beeu seeking such Information as Auditor McNeil, of the I., D. & 6., is at liberty to disclose. The purchasers will find tbe property in good condition, and the hope ia indulged that it they succeed to the ownership they will maintain it and add to what they get. A strong effort will be made to secure for Indianapolis the headquarters of the consolidated linos, if tba purchase is consummated. It ia understood that tha valnabla property of the IIliana Coal Company (whioh operates largaly over the I., D. ± 8. Lina) will not ba included in tha present negotiations for purchase, bat the purchasers can have it by paying n good

The Supreme Court, ia tbe opinion (written by Justice Elliott) overruling the petition for rehearing in the Sebloutch liqnor case, points out very clearly that the purpose of the law is to punish liqnor sellers for each illegal eale, and demonstrates that prosecutors should not try many offenses under one indictment. The decision is of interest in every county, just at this juncture, and particularly ia thia city. In tha course of the opinion it is said: "We understand It to be on alementary principle that a single Instance of selling constitutes the offense, and a person may commit any number of offense* in a single day or as to one purchaser,” ! Bishops on Statutory Crimes, section XolG.) “As each sale ia a complete and distinct offense no man can be prosecuted uuder an Indictment charging one offense of more than one illegal sale. This conclusion rests on reason, as well as authority. Each sale of liquor on a forbidden day is as separate and distinct an offense as aa assault and battery, or as a larceny. It a man should strike another at 10 o'clock In the forenoon and again assault him at 1 o’clock In the aiternoon, would any one contend that the State could, under a single indictment prove both; Or, If Sebloutch had stolen from tbe prosecuting witness live bottles of wine iu the forenoon and ten in the afternoon of the same day would it be seriously contended that both offenses might be proved under an indictmont charging only one? “Liquor tellers are subjected to the tame laws as other law-breakers, aud uo power, save that of the sovereign power of tbe State, has the right to annul, alter, or suspend those laws, aud It is because they are bound by those laws that tbe courts and the officers of the commonwealth must enforce the laws as they are written. No court has authority to make a law applicable to one ciass of offenders, but courts and officers must deal with all offenders as tbe law commands, yielding their own Individual Judgments to the supreme rule of the-Mate. "We are not dealing with a case where the offenses are so mingled that there can be no

statement there are several errors. We do not lay down a rule that will exclude evidence of the res gestae. What we hold is that where there are two distinct offenses and only a single offense charged, the State must elect what offense It will prosecute. Certainly the res gestae of a complete offense Is not proved by establishing a connected and different offense. Argument can not make this proposition plainer. Our decision does not apply nor does It profess to apply to cases where severance is Impracticable, for It was made In a case where the work of separating the offense is easy and where the duty of the prosecutor was plain. Nor do we lav down a rule tor liquor cases not applicable to other cases; on the contrary, we adjudge that the same rule applies to all cases, and that it is the duty of public officers charged with the administration of Justice, to prosecute all offenders under the law as it comes from the law-making power. If it were true that the rule we announce will‘be severely Inconvenient,’ it would, nevertheless, be our duty to declare the law as it exMs. But it is not true that the rule we sanction leads to Inconvenience, not existing in other than liquor cases, for it is true, without exception, that where the offenses are disconnected and distinct, proof of two oflbnses can not be made where only one la charged. In all such cases, whatever be the class, the State must elect on what one offense a conviction will be asked. If we had ruled otherwise than we have done, we should

But ’Will Adjourn To-Day—The Varloaa Paper* Read and Discussed and the Officers Elected.

The program of the aestion of the State Teachers’ Association yesterday afternoon afforded a considerable variety. There were papers, singing, recitations and diacasaiona. Victor C. Alderson, of tha Englewood (III.) High School, presented hia views on ” Educational Psychology." Mias N. Cropoay, ot tha Indianapolis schools, conducted tha diaoas■ion. Professor Carhart, ol DaPaow University, read an elaborately prepared answer to the question: "Should the Indiana Teachers’ Association Organize a Reading Circle for the School Children of the State?" Following Carlyle’s suggestion that "nil education is to teach na how to read,” tbe speaker presented the result of many inquiries into the doss of reading matter that finds its way into school children’s hands. Tbe greater part of thie reading is carried on entirely without auy object iu view except amusement. The proposed reading circle for children would be still a better thing than tbe Teachers’ Reading Circle had been—and the latter encages the attention aud support of seven thousand teachers. Teachers could with profit subtract soma of tha time uow given to computing per cents, and apply it to securing results possible under a well organized circle. Would such an association as is proposed cost anything? Yes. .Eaop’s Fables, whioh contain more practical wisdom than was exhibited by the last Legislature, costs 3 cents. The Autobiography of Benjamin FraoKlia costs 10 cents. But suppose the books did oost 13 cents a year or 25 cents or 50 cents per number, what then? The parents of Indiana are not paupers. What body its more entitled to the honor of establishing this Reading Circle for the children than the State Teachers’ Association of

Indiana?

The proposition to establish the circle was received with apparent tavor, and Messrs. Parsons, liodgin and Owens were appointed a committee to digest the views presented and make report. Miss Iledick sang a solo. Professor Charlton,of the Reform School, introduced a resolution congratulating James Mays, (the oldest teacher in tbe State) on his ripe old age; and the association adjourned to visit the new Y. M. C. A. building, by invitation. Closing sessions To-I>ay. The forenoon session to-day was opened with devotional exercises by Rev. O. C. McCulloch. The attendance was fully as large as on preceding days. About 360 teachers had been enrolled by the secretary

A paper that has been looked forward to with some interest was the first presented today. It was a discussion by W. N. Mailman, Superintendent of the Laporte schools, on "The True Test of Excellence in a School System.” The paper was exhaustive. In brief, tbe author's opinions were as follows: "u many schools soul-development is still sacrificed to percentage, and men still are inclined to crown the superficial recitation prattler victor over the future kiug of men, whoso brain is busy,

Washington, December 30.—The sensational elopement of Mr. Grassie Bulkley and Miss Hiliyer to Baltimore, where they were married, and the subsequent suit on behalf of Miss Hillyer’s parents to annul the marriage, have tilled tbe local papers here for the past few days. A new phase was put upon tbe matter yesterday afternoon by the withdrawal by Miss Hillyer’s parents of the suit. All the parties to the marriage and the parents of the contracting parties have become reconciled, and all are now happy. The high social position of the parhes has given the episode unusual prominence. Game Preserves in Pennsylvania. Milford, December 30.—Hiram Westbrook, of Ridgewood, N. J., acting for a number of prominent sportsmen ot New York City, has purchased over 8,000 acres of wild land in the townships of Porter, Lehman and Delaware, the property of Pike county. It is the intention of the New Yorkers to make a game park and preserve out of this extensive area of forest, stream and lake, and to erect a club-house for the use of the owners and their guests. This will make the fourth great private gome park in the forests of Pike, embracing 50,000 acres, twenty miles of the best trout streams and about one hundred lakes. A Convict’s Conversion. Max Julius Boschell, a Jewish inmate ot *the Northern Prison, and a former resident of this oity, has renounced tbe religion of his people and joined the Episcopal Church. He was at one time in business here and well-to-do. While here a niece of hia wife's visited them, and they became attached to each other and ran away, and went to Cannelton, Ind.. where they were married. He was arrestea for bigamy and sent up for two years. The second wife gave birth to a child a few months ago, and it and Boschell were baptized together in the Episcopal faith.

J. J. Mills, president of Earlham College, took the topic as it waa presented by the essayist. Incidentally (he speaker pleaded for a teat in the school room that would individualize the strong pupils. It ought to be possible lor the teaoher to see each pupil in hia individuality. The teacher should be greater than the text book; tbe pupil should be greater than tbe course of study. The kind of work for teachers is to fiud oat the tendencies and destinies of their pupils. Barnabas C. Hobbs, in taking np the discaasion, said that public school education should take the “beyond” into consideration. With earnest words he pleaded for the instruction of the pupils in the truths of the Scripture^ The Bible, he said, had twice been put into the schools of Indiana—once in the time of Governor Willard, when it was selected as the first of text-books. Afterward it was ordained that “the Bible shall not be prohibited from the schools of Indiana.” Charles F. Hansen, a pupil of the Blind Asylum, who has acquired his entire mnsical education within the walls ot that beneficent institation, afforded on entertaining diversion by rendering two organ nambere. The first was the "Overture to William Tell." As an encore, he gave a composition of hia own, "The Triumphal March." The masio was so well received that a vote of thanks was tendered by the association to Mr.

Hansen.

Edward Taylor, superintendent of the Vinoennea schools, wrote to tha association suggesting that efforts ba made to secure favorable railroad rates to tbe San Franoiaoo National Teaehers’ Association Convention. The writer made some strictures oa the “saspicious, iron-dad and inquisitorial system to whioh the railroads subjected 12,000 teachers last summer who attended the Chicago convention." He thought that teachers are entitled to as much consideration in terms oa land prospectors and European immigrant*. The matter waa referred to W. A. Bell, of the School Journal, who announced that the railroad peopla had already given out that the rate would not be more than half fare. MiseDillie J. Martin, ot the Indianapolis •ohooli, answered with force and thoroughly tbe question. "Should the Teacher be an Investigator?’’ She prefaced her conclusion with a review of reauita that have been achieved under existing methods of otudy. These she found to bo unsatisfactory in many respects. Experience in nil branches of study should be practical. To have tho proper knowledge tha teachar and the pupils muat ba investigatoro. Tho scientist should add to tha world’s possessions. The papils should go from school with some practical experienoe. The purpose of tha paper was to dsmonstrate tho aaoeoaity for investigation—for original work. Aa a summary the speaker held that investigation ia needed in —t——^ that th« tanrhar rahjr have tho

knowledge reqnftwd in United State* history, hence a majority of the teacher* should not be deprived of the opportunity for such investigation; in geography, as this subject as nearly affects practical living; in English, since to create as wall aa to appreciate ia required of papile; ia pedagogics, since its principles are general and must be applied to the work in hand to be of nay real vain* This association should, thartlore. maka n# especial affort to encourage soientifle obserta tion and inference in the school-room; in oil subjects of atndy, because it is the p

method in a scientific age.

The conclusion was reached that the I er should be an investigator because in gallon tends to raise the moral standard asid to keep the mind balanced; investigation gives that comprehensive view ef the world that is so important as a basis of eorrsei judgmsnt; investigation ia peaeible, sines facte show that the work of the school-room does not consume nil the teacher's tiane,

strength and money.

James R. Hart, Superin fondant of the

Union City schools, reviewtd the paper and concurred in tn* conclusions reached. Investigation will give the teaehers enthnstaam

Professor Swing's Lecture. Professor David Swing, of Chicago, laoturad at Plymouth Church last night, undar the auspices of the Teachers’ Association, oa the subject, “The Place of the Novel Among Books." The novel he defined as that form of literature whioh brings out strong thenghln and feelings, embodied in beautiful language, the whole theme of whioh is decorated with the beau tf of an ideal woman. Great thoughts, he said—educational, moral, political and religions—must be present to constitute an ideal novel. Mr. Swing discussed at lengtn the characteristics of Dickeos, Thackeray, Scott, and other great novelists. Diekeno, he said, had been criticised fof the omiasioa of women os the beautifying element of hia f works. But he had an underiving thame of beauty iu benevolence; he took the t>art of the oppressed and wronged, and for tlw first time in history we find children appearing in novels. There wera no children in Homer, Dante, Virgil, Shakspeare or Milton, but Dickens, bynia Christmas carols, hod brought a new ray of happiness into the children’s world and brought before all more clearly the blessings of Christmas. The tendency ot the times, Professor Swing thought, was for people to narrow their world of happineea and uaetali ness. The woman no sooner become* a bride ['than she throws down her books and aetUaz down to a spiritless, inactive lift. The merchant of fifty becomes so absorbed in his business affairs as to dwindle down to almost a yard stick. The farmer narrows until hia little farm becomes a universe. The preacher is worse than all. He does not start out to grow broad. He does not enjoy it, even tor a season. At forty he flings away the opera, cards, novels and even laugh tor, and prepares to shrivel in the dust. But for all thia, God intended this to be a world of joy. New Vear'e Calls. The News again gives notice that on tomorrow it will publish n list of ladies who will keep "open hoase" on New Year's day, as well as those who will assist, and the sanra should be sent in at the earliest possible moment, in order to be properly collated. Care should be taken in writing plainly both the given and Cbriatian name. Refuting lu Own Money. To-day Wallace Foster tendered a twentyfive cent scrip, United States money, to the the stamp clerk at the poetoffioe, in exchange for a ten-cent stamp, and tba clerk refused to accept it until Foster had called apoa the higher officials. It was something new to him for a Government employe to refttoe to accept Government money. Fined on a Trivial Charge. Theo. F.
