About six years ago, whea the ladies who compose this organization were citing about for new ways to extend their work, it occurred to thera that, by f urniahuga cup -of co 2ee and sandwich at the same prioe that a glass of beer could be procured, they might do a vast amount of good. They accordingly opened a room of this kind on the Circle, the ladies Ukmg turn in providing the lunch and waitin? upon the tables. It proved a saeceee from the beginning, and in a short time they made additions to the bill of fare and hired their work . done by women and ycaag girls needing employment, thereby adiiag another good deed to their list. Their patronage increased to such an extent that they found it necessary toremore to the larre room on "Pennsylvania street, where, for several Ters, the businesj niea and women of the city and visitors have fouad a comfortabJ? acd home-like place to enjoy thtir luoch. This beneficent institution has scrota to ench an extent that the frie nü and pitions have for so:.e tiuie felt the want of more commodious apartmeats. These aoccrrruodaticn3 have recently been farpithed by renting the adjoiairg room and throwing them together by nieam of an archway. TLj have been handsomely papered, carpeted tüd furnished for the accorr.raodstion of quests, who are well enpplied at the tabid with all the delicacies of tie iceson at the most reasonable prices. The money obtained, ovor and above the -xpenses, is used by the ladies in their local temperance wort. The Board of Managers, together with Miss Kingman, who hs supervision of the rooms, and M'ss Alollie Hay, the efficient secretary, deserva tie highest priije for makirg the temperance lanc'i rooais a success. There is no dobt but that this noble band of women w;il not onl mamtain the grouud won, bat extend their neefnlnefs and win lasting honors for themselves. Oiilj Women, Indeed. Tall Mall Gazette. On a late Sandey I was taken by my two Angelican titers to a well known c'aurch in South Kensington to hear a "caltivated atd clever clergyman" preach, in the hope that the critical habit of my nnreaaonably reatonab e mind mfght be checked. The clergyman did not appear, bit a curate did a joungster all zeal, bad Eoglish and worse taste. I quote you one phr.za, and spare you the others equally remarka !: 4,ven jou, my sisters, though only wemen, rosy yet find some daty to perform." Evidently his mother had filled in hers, and I looked around the church to see how my fellow-sufferers took so odd a remark. Not a sign of surprise, annoyance or amusement; silence de mort, and faces to match. I forgave "the green in ja dement" on the spot, for he knew his asdier.ee and I did not. Advice to Girls. This is some advice in the Woman's Home Journal: Girls, don't marry a man for money, position, or any thing but love. Do n't do it if you want to live to a good old age asd be happy. You may think that money can bring you all you desire, but it can 't. That is where you are mistaken. It can buy a good many things, but it can Lever purchase contentment for your heart or happiness for your souL It may bring tempory smiles to yonr face, but it will leave great shadows in your ieart. Don't think that I would advisa you to marry a worthless fellow, just because you imagine you love km. A refined, good, intelligent woman should never marry a vulgar, ill bred man. No, to; sever unite yourself to any one who is rot a man in tie truest meaning of the wcrd. Neither coald I advise a woman to marry a man who had no visible means of supporting her, but for heaven's fak3 don't marry a millionaire or a king, if you don't love him. It will not do. People have tried It time and again, only to lind it a miserable failure. It may do for a while. You may revel In gilded hall? and be lost in the giddy rounds of pleasure, but a time will come when these things will be a hollow mockery to you. Tnere will be an "aching void" the world can never CIL Sometimes mothers are to blame for the unhappiness of their daughters. They teach them that respect tor their husband and lots of "boodle' are Infinitely to be ? referred to that foolishness called love, hat would do very well if life had no waves of trouble, but it takes something more than simple respect to make two hearts cling together in the hour of adversity. A woman that turns her back on wealth and takes the maa of her chofc; may miss some of the luxuries of life, but she will be happy. Don't marry a dade. Better get you a monkey. It is cheaper and a great deal nicer. Don't fool with that claes of animals. They generally wear a $10 hat on a ten cent brain, and the woman who takes one of these chaps will set left about as bad as the Southern Confederacy did at Appomattox, American Women. Here are a few sensible reflections upon the physical condition of American women well worth reading: The want of physical exercise by American girls while growing cp ia one cause of their premature old age. ilech of the insanity that affects our women ia attributed by physicians to want of bodily out-door exercise in childhood and the precocious developmeat of mind. The indoor labor performed by many American women is astonishing "What affects the body influences the mind. When one is worn and irritated it acts on the other. English women usually have better servants and more of them. They are trained thoroughly for the special departments of house and kitchen work. English women walk and ride more, marry later, and have by nature - better constitutions. Minneapolis Tribtee. American women marry too etrly and liv too secluded. Many are scarcely out of school before they have settled down as wives and housekeepers. The cares of a family are devolving on them before they have the strength and serve to perform them. One reason that our female ancestors lasted longer and had better health was that their minds were not so much taxed nor the nerves so highly strung. Most American men are so ab sot bed in business tney have not time to relieve their wives at all of domestic cares, and fail to sAit them encouragement and friendly advice. The want of congeniality In the dispositions of husbands and wives, and the customs of social life, often pro duc a discord in the heme circle that Is detrimental to health. With the ancients bysical culture first received attention, hen moral, then mental. The American jrlrla have a fairer, fresher appearance from sixteen to eighteen years of age than forties era, but fade earlier.

A New Craze. ICleveland PtercJ The craze for making "rag rugs" is fast assuming the proportions to which the "crezy quilt" fever had risen. To seethe vest army of sweet young fashionab daintily joining bright, pretty rags together to be woven into a soft nut far Lome adornment is almost encuxh to befuddle the brain of many an observer and set them to wondering whether this is really the nineteenth century, or a step backward into the primitive davs when the country was new and maidens fair were wont to "weave the warp and weave the woof." It is one of the lew "crazes" which the dear girls adopt that will bring commeidation from their elders and from that portion of the masculine fraternity who are apt to scoff at all ideas and fancies which the effeminate world adopt, A Woman Made Deacon In the t'placopal Church.

Dr. Kainsford saw th9 value of sch an office. So, after having disappeared from the church for centime', St. George's parish has witnessed the roippee ranee of this functionary.

Half Albums. ' New York Telegram. 1 The latest craze among the ladies is a "hair-album" gentlemen's hair. Young men are besought for a lock of hair, and the request is such a flattering one that they are only too happy to comply when tha right damsels apply. The contribution is tied with a bl ue ribbon and poes into the "hair-album" along with the hair of a crowd of other fellows. Over it will be written the name, age, color of eyes, date of if ceiving the memeato, and general remarks as to personal appearance, etc , which may cr may not be complimentary, as the album is never to be seen by any other than feminine eyes.

Mary Anderson has been parting with $10,000 of her cash to purchase property in Manchester, Jr gland. Miss Elizabeth Stuart Phelps has bought land at vwj.'ougbby fark, uotiia'a lieacn, Mass., and will build a summer home. In the columns of the Post-Dispatch, St. Louis ladies are discussing the question whether it is proper for engaged persons to kiss. Mrs. Mary A.

Miss Amata Ramsey, aged twenty years. a daughter of Bit James Uamsey, took first honors in the classical course at Girton Celine, C&abridge, inland hewas

the only student cf either sex to pass in ! the firet division. Among the new agents appointed by the' Secretary. of the Interior, to superintend the allotment of lands among the Indiana, -is Mies Alice C Fletcher, agent for the Wlnnebegoea, in Nebraska. Miss Fletcher is familiar with Indian language, and

an enthusiast on the subject ol civilizing the Indians. Miss Laura Miller, assistant city libra rian of Lafajette, is compiling a scrapbook from the writings of Indiana authors. The idea originated with Mr. Hooper, our efficient city librarian, and was announced by him at the first meeting of the western writers, held In this city more than a year ago. He has made an interesting collection, and the book, which will be valuable in future year?, will remain in the library. Mrs. ADgie F. Newman ia trying to raise money to buy a gospel tent for evangelistic work in Utah The Kev. T. C. IlilT, D. D., says: "If we had it now hundreds of people would hear the gospel who have never been reached heretofore. I want to go up and down Utah before October, preparing the way, with God's help for a wintert campaign." About $1,500 are neeied. The New York Tribune says: "If expe rience is to be the guide, Mayor Hewitt will no doubt regard with favor the move ment for the appointment of more women as members of the Eoard cf Education. Mis. Agnew and Miss Dodge have proved to cf the most attentive and valuable members of the present Board. In edacatioral matters generally women have shown themselves fully as competent to take an intelligent pait as men. The niht editor of the Boston Hf raid in the seventies ha3 a pleasant remembrance of tie late Jennie Collins. She, being snccething cf an owl, was wont to cheer the dir gy sanctum in Wilmms court at an hour late erough to share iu the midnight oncheon ol the newspaper night hawk. And while they discussed the viands she reported all the latest incidents of her charity among the working girls until her active interest in them become contagion;. An industrial school for bovs is rrapesed at Chicago by Mrs. Cella W. Wallace, a rich and philanthropic woman. She wants an incorporation wnh a capital of $50O,0CO, and ft large and Interested public support. The idea is to cave ths institu tion both home and school, and, besides the dormitories and workshop, there will be a military cirihroom and a bcaool house, where ths rudiments of aa edu:aticn can be acquired wbile ths boy is lesrnirg a trade in the workshop. Homeless waifs will be taken there and have a chance. Miss Freeman, president of Wellenley Col!f pe, will soon te married to Frof. Palrrer,of Hsrjsrd Coliepa. The Congregationali&t says: "Thus wbl he vacated the most important educational position held by any women in the land, and it is not cer tain that it will be hlled again by a woman. Other colleges f:r women, like Yasser, Bryn Mawr aod Smith, have a man at their head, and many who send their daughters to t!lesley, knowing espciallj how difficult it will be to make Miss Freeman s place good by one cf her o vn stx, will be glad to e a gentleman at the bead of the institution, if there wtra as large a cumber of women to 6f lect from as thi-re ere of men, the C23e would be quite different." A GLANCE AT THE FASHIONS. Dresses of white Irish linen are made no with belted blouse waists and trimmedwitb daik bice dungaree band, oa which are row 8 of white linen braid. Irish linen dresses are ussd for yachting and tennis and are commended for their coolness. The dungaree with which they are trimmed is an English fabric of twilled cotton very finely Wwven. A pretty wran to throw about tha shoul ders while on the gallery in the evening is a three cornered piece of China crape, embroidered with a light-running vine pattern and deeply fringed. These come in lovely shades of blue, rose, cream, pa'e gieen, poppy red and corn color. Some very pretty ha'.s worn at the sea shore call to mind the coquettish headdresses of the Normandy fisher girls. They have very high, narrow, round crowns, which are covered with shirred cream colored mulL The brim is covered with lace luffies, and a big ribbon bow is placed upen the fron. The belted waist, or "banded bodice." as sai'ors call it, is in great favor for summer toilets. These have a fu'l straight skirt, fathered to a belt and are without drapery. Thesssh is passed around the waist and tied in long loops and ends. The loops may te llatly folded or there may be loose open loops that swing and form the drapery. While, cream-tinted and yellow sashes are most used, though shades of tilleul and et luce green are still liked for black and white lace dresses. Watered ribbons, with picot edges, are the general choice of these sashes. The Pompadour sashes are a novelty, with bands of satin strewed with small flowers of natural colors, alternating with watered-snx stripes. Lace dresses, made of the fortv-in3hla;ei either black or white, are worn with Lelted waists of China crape and wide sashes. Sometimes the sashes are of the new Roman moire, which comes in such wide widtbs that the belted waists can also be made of them and with the lace skftts have a very bright and pretty eff act The broadest sashes worn with thee drcsseB are fourteen inches wide, but tho-e from ten to eleven in width are mucti moie popular. The crocheted white laces and Irish point embroidery are very effectively used as a wide border at the front or side baud of the skirt, and aa a yoke or vest on the waist of cotton sateen dresses, in shades of pale grpy, heliotrope, or the dull pink known as old rose. These bordered skirts are always plain around, not plaited, and for many the velvet border is sufficient without the lace. The same methods of trimming are used with good effect on cotton crepes and other cotton fabrics. For children's sashes wide tu rah ribbons are imported with diagonal stripes and rows of balls separated by heavily twilled lines. These lie so closely and compactly that they do not easily come untied, and therefore best liked for little people's wear. Maaros sashes in rich dull colors are worn with bla k lace or net dresses. When they are worn with baiques they are folded narrowly, brought to a point in front, outline the basque and are tied under the postilion, making a very bouffant effect The newest importation of ribbons from Paris show a strong tendency to ch ange v ble coloring; red changes with blue, bhrlmp pink with white, bine with ecru and rose pink with green. The "fl orescent" ribbons are new also and come in wish widths as well as in narrow samples. There instead of being one color shot across another have changeable shades dyed in the ailk, and are either two tones of a color or ehe they have the color lightened by white, as tale rose with white and yellow or lavender with white. The latest Idea In the universal sailor bat is to trim it Blmply with a wide band cf heavy white ribbon, making it rather more masculine than ever. Some are trimmed with wide belt, with perpendicular blue-and-white or black-and-white tri pea. Another fancy la to cover a blue straw sailor with tulle of the same shade. The brim Is shrouded with three thicknessesa of the tulle, gathered and held in about the crown hica is covered in the same manner with a loose rope of the diaphanous material, : which is arranged In a number of erect loops in front. Across these are placed two long, tifl blue feathers, powdered with gold .duett

IN A NUTSHELL.

The Lieuteuit Govtnorihip Qaesüoi liscussed Briefly and Pointeiij. The Inextricable Coarnslon that Slay Possibly Arise from the Recent Action of Kepabllc&n Officials, Plymouth, Aug. 2. One of the leading journals publishes an item to the efTect that the Indiana railroads will realst collection of tax on the assessment fixed by the Board of Equalization, and one of the points will be teat the board was cot legally organized. The law makes the Lieutenant-Governor president of the board, and tbat Robertson had no light to bo in that position, either on the pretended claim that he Is Lieutenant-Governor or on the election of the board, for it had no authcrity to place him there. It seems to me the whole question is in a nutshell, and that the merest tyro in the law could decide it. There is a vacancy in the office of Lieutenant-Governor, and neither the -constitution nor the statute has provided any means for tiling it except at an election, as provided ia the constitution. That instrument further provides that in case of vacancy in offices of both Governor and Lieutenant-Governor the General Assembly Bhall provide by law who shall "act as Governor" (not for an election) until the vacancy is filled filled as provided in the constitution, of course. But no provision contemplates a Lieutenant-Governor in case of vacancy. Now, leaving aside the question of whether a Lieutenant-Governor can be elected at any time when the office ia vacant, and supposing that Robertson was legally elected, he is not LieutenantGovernor cow. Even supposing his election has been legally canva-sed. and nuder the constitution he "is elected" ia fact that is, legally chosen under the forms of law and ready to eiecute the duties of his office he is cot Lieutenant-Governor. The constitution is clear, emphatic, distinct and imperative, and;admit3 of no implications or jni&underätaudjng. It provides that his '-oüicial term shall commence" on th second Monday in January, If 53. and on the same day every four years thereafter. With the position once vacant, no other cfiicial term can comtneLce before the data so fixed! Xo cilicial term can exist until it has a commencement. Therefore, llbeitson's ifiici&l term eannot commence aatil the second Monday in Jannary, 1SSJ; and if he is not so. legally fix-d in bis election and qualification he is not and ctunot be Lieutenant Governor save in prospect until that time. Nor is there any power express or implied jesting anywhere to conier upon him authority to do anything pertaining to that position prior to that date. The convention of 1850 evidently consided it unnr cestary to provide for a vacancy m the position of Litutenant Governor. It provided for that podtiou and that the incumbent should he president of the Senate; and "should d.'scharg9 the du'los of Governor," when that office should ba vacant, but ho would still be L'eutertaat GoterLor, no mere or less, acting ai Governor. In eise both offices should bectue vacant, the General Assembly were ra qulicd to "provide by law who shoald discba ge the duties of Governor" until a new trm of ifSee honld commsnca. Not ihtt a new Governor should ba elected, for thtthadalri-ady been provided for aid when his official term shou'd ommeaca and end ; but it makes no provision, whatever, for a vscsncy :n he office cf Lieutenant Governor, other than tbat one shall te selected and his term shall continue four years, and shall commence on a particular named day. In case of vacancy it is piovided the Senate shall e'.cst one of ita own members as president; but that does not make him Lieutenant Governor or fix any official term and the Senate can elct a new one every day if it sees proper. lie is chosen to act only 4 for that occasion;" not to fill a vacancy in the poäition of Lieutenant Governor. He must be a Sanator to be eligible and he cannot hold the twocflicE3. Heia simply president of the Senate, and no more. The statute makes the Lieutenant Governor President of the State Bjirl of Equalization. The statute of 1S31 creating that board required it to organize by choosing one of its own number as President. The subsequent act making the Lieutenant Governor President did not wholly repeal the former act, but modified it, The whole law must be construed together. There being no provisions for Tilling a vacancy in the position of Lieutenant Governor, while such a vacancy might occur, the last act must bs presumed to have been passed with that contingency in view. Therefore, if a vacancy should 05cur at a time when an official term could not commence, there would be no President of the Board, and the Board must select one from It own number. Any four of the persons named are declared to constitute a quorum and authorized to act. o, it would be a legal body without a Lieutenant Governor. The law governirR legislative assemblies (and other statutory deliberative bodies), known as Parliamentary law is in force in this State, and is as much a part of the law as any portion of the common law that is applicable here subject, of course, to modification by statute and the delioera tive bodies governed by iL A presiding e fficer can be chosen by any legal orgaaization, for the time, under that law wnere no other provision is made. If no other mo visions were existing, the Board of Equalization could, under the common law, provide for a presiding officer, but he must be a legal member of the Biard ; f or no one else can act, nor is there a legal organization of that Board without some rule of proceeding to determine questions and m ake a record. The Board Is a statutory body. Neither by statute or common ' law could that Board go outside and select some one to become a member of it, to take part in making rulings, decide questions as to procedure, and fix any obligations or liability on any body. Its duties are part of those of the tax levying and collecting power, which is the highest power of government, and the one to be the mo t strictly considered, limited and exercised. There ia no provision of express law and no possible implication from any legal froviaion that could make Robertson presdent of the Board ex officio aa Lieutenant Governor, nor could the Board make him a member of its own body any more than it could any other citizen. With the self-evident fact staring the State in the face, what ia the legal conclusion 8 to valuation Of property for taxa tion when fixed by that Board? Can tt be called a mere Irregularity. Can it be cured by a retrospective act as such? Can taxes based unon It be forced from prop erty owners by leal process before any such actis passed? If resisted and the question comes before the courts, can the legislature deprive the courts of existing jurisdiction pendtng the question because such an act would not then cure it? If It can, and rshoald, what will be the effect upon the whole body of the law reia'ing to the numerous and important compuca tions that would at onse spring into active operation? The matter ia worthy of most careful study; for the partisan spirit that has so far forced the present conditions, may force to results disastrous to the public welfare. C. IL Rgava. Teller Voices.

And looking at these blossoms bright, I think of other scenes and hours, And see, Ith retrospective Bight, Fair cultured blooms, acid sweet wild flowers Abloom in nature's bowers. 'Mid hedges green I seem to pass, Where fox gloves rise, and blue bells ring; And over daisy-dappled grass. Where buttercups are blossoming, I stray where glad birds sing.

I Toledo Special to Chicaso TImes.1 If Sherman captured the state convention and had it all his own way, the Maine statesman was no less successful in the meeting of the republican state leagae today. Jutfge King, of aiahonirig county, who was expected to marshal tne Blaine forces a, air. st the indorsement resolution, opened the bail by a speech which carried the members cf the ligue olTits feet, and which dtnunstratsd the fact that the Ohio republicans are by lo means a unit in their admiration of Ohio's greatest statesman. He made a roarii.g Blaine oration, and said: l come from a section of the state that cling3 to her loved chieftain at all times. We do not go back on our chieftain because he was defeated by the blundering of a preacher and manipulation of returns." This-refereuce to Blaine was received with the wildest applause. "We are the kind oi Republicans who can sit silent in the convention and hear Ohio's Rrea'est Republican indorsed. We are not the kind of republicans who sulk because we love Bh er it an les3 and because we love Blaine rrcre." This mention of B'aine was again received with cheerp. No reference was made to Sherman in the convention. Everythirg wfs for Blaine. Gov. Foraker also recr-Ived a direct slap in the face. He was placed in nomination for one of the four delejrates to the convention to be held in New York in November. The announcement of his name was met by cries of "No!""No,"bowls and vigorous protests from all parts of the hall, and F'oraktr's name was withdrawn. A lüg Gorilla Landed.

Jaccsox. IIIeb., April 9, 1SSX Tn wirr SrEcirrc CoMrAXT, Atlanta, Oa. : GfnxZtww-I have been an invalid pensioner for forty years, having contracted pulmonary and other diseases In the Mexican War, but not tUl the 1st of March, 1S75, did I feel any symptoms of rheumatism. On that day I was suddenly 6tricken with that disease In both bips and ankles. For twenty days I walked on crutches. Then the pain was lese violent, but tt shifted from Joint to joint. For weeks I would t totally disabled, either on one side of my body or tbe other. The p&ln never left nie a nioniPtit for eleven year and neveu months that 1 fr"m March 1. 1KI5, when I was llrt attacked, to Ociolier 1, lVtG. when I was cured. Durinir these eleven years of intense suftcrinK 1 tried liiniunt'rabie prescriptions from varlona physicians, and tried everything suzrested bv friends, but If I ever received the leat enent from an medicine taken Internally or externally, I am not aware of It. Finally, about the first of "September, I made arrangements to fro to the Hot Sprintrs of Arkansas, havlug despaired of every other remetlv, when I accidentally met an old acquaintance, Mr. Klnp, now of the Lawrence Houne of this city. He had once been a great suflerer from rheumatism, and, as I supposed, had been cured by a vtBit to Hot Pprluim. Hut m hen I met him he told me that his visit to the Hot Springs was In vain he tound no relief. On hi return from Hot Springs he heard, for the first time, of the S. S. S. as a remedy for rheumatism. Ha tried it and six bottles made a complete cure. Several years have paaaed since, but be has had no return of the disease. I immediately returned to try it. In September I took four bottie, and by the first of October I was well as far as the rheumatism was concerned. All pain brxl disappeared, and I hats bot felt a iwkoi op it si net. I have no Interest In making this statement other than the hope that It may direct some other sufferer to a sure source of relief, and If It has this result I m well rewarded for my trouble. I am very respectfully and truly your friend. J. H. H. Mastix Tot aale by all druggists. Treatise on Elood and Sfrla Plaeaaes nailed free. Tai Bwm Entente Ca, Prswer 9 AUa&t Oa
