'asunder by th. i..i'ig.s of its clergy. The .-ad part ..f it is that a misstep assumes an exaggerated significance when practiced by : wearer of the cloth. This is but natural, yet it is also unjust in s far as ii re'.! -cts up -n good ministers who always have and always will -ho guiltiest! of any acts which will bring them into disrepute with their ' congregations or with the world. Individually, however, no e nsure can be too severe to be heaped upon the mbsgublcd head of the clergyman who debauches his of lice by besmirching it With the occasion fur the fowl tongue of sordid scandal. True, ministers are but human, but on the other hand th. ir acts mean so much more to the world that it behooves them if they have any sense of decency to keep their skirts clean. Tim world is taught to h.ok upon them as shining examples of morality and virtue an.', they have much to answer for. The obligations with which the tailing invest:? them increases their responsibility one hundred fold over those of tlie ordinary citizen. The. result is that the act of one bad minister is sufficient to discredit in the opinion of the unthinking, and even of the thinking-, oft times, a whole Hock of clergymen. While aa before stated it is natural that from a superficial point of view the acts of the black tduep reileet enormously upon the lives of good ministers, is it just that this should bo so? Certainly, it is not. To get to the bottom of things there are as many good ministers today as there ever were and there doubtless will continue to be in finite of the epidemic of scandal which just now is besmirching the high calling of the clergy.

4 Col. Henry Birchby of Los Angeles, reputed to be worth 11,000,000 offered to wed one of the twelve young women of Des Moines who adopted Edna Haven, aged three. In his proposal he says ho would take pride in giving tho baby an education. News Item.

The following is what really by a club of forty society girls in o -x

FABLE OF A BOY WITH TOO MANY MOTHERS. There was once a boy whose Natural Mother, having a mission to Elevate the Stage, and being a Grass Widow, left town, leaving her twelve year old son in the care of Relatives. The rtclativ.-s could not See it That "Way. They were fond of Willie who was a Good Roy, but they allowed it was his Maw's place to Raise him, her getting $7 a week alimony from Willie's Paw. The upshot of it all was that Willie was sent to the Industrial School, hifl Maw being outside the Jurisdiction of the Court and his Relations Kicking on his Keep. Willie was an Angel faced Child, and having never been Treated Real Well, he had a Sweet Disposition. His hair was Yellow and his eynj were Brown and he had a complexion like a Rose Leaf. As a Hench Show Exhibit he certainly was entitled to a P.lue Ribbon. One day a club of Forty Society girls in their zeal to study human nature and Improve their minds, visited the Home. They Piped little Willie. "Isn't he a Hear!" exclaimed the President of the Girl's Club. "You're not Half Telling it," was the opinion of the SecretaryTreasurer, neatly expressed. "Such Ryes!" gasped a Common Member. "Such Hair!" exclaimed Another. "What a Heavenly Complexion!" sighed One who was Real Sallow and whose face was covered with a Crop of Incipient Pimples. Willie at hrst did not realize that he was the Object of these Complimentary Remarks. He had never been told that he was Good Rooking. Secretly he was not phased with his Personal Appearance. He admired the Stocky Built, Pullet Headed Kid in the next Ward whose Biceps stuck out like Goose Eggs when he Worked his arms. It was the first intimation that he had over heard that he was Really Beautiful. "Let's adopt him." suggested a Member. An emergency meeting was called then and there and the President put the Question to a vote. It was adopted by Acclamation. Thi authorities thought it could be done. They took a Slant at the Possibilities embodied in a Publicity Department forty strong. Nor did they miscalculate. The next morning all the papers had an Account of the club's Unique Philanthropy. Th Accounts varied from a half column to a column Nonpareil. Many of the forty Mothers sent "Their Boy" a copy of the paper in which the write up mentioned tin senders name the most times, with all the Sweet Things they had to say regarding All Concerned. The Roy began to Relieve he was It. He was described in one as a Pock t-t Edition Apollo. The, Boy did not know what a Pocket Edition Apollo was but from the general tone of the Piece, he Surmised it was something Nice. He experienced an immedtate enlargement of th? chest and when he put on his 10 cent (7 at Wholesale) sunshade and went out in the Potato Patch to Pick Rugs, he discovered h: needed a new top piece as the one he had been wearing had shrunk. The nxt day five members of the club visited the school with their Kodaks to get pictures of The Roy. One brought a choir boy's outfit for him to ; os-- la. She paid he would be Cute in this with a Hymn book In one Mitt and a Soulful look in his Dreamy cyps, J On (Hri Kaid iu must be taken to a Swell Clothier's and fitted to some Good Harness. Th Roy was Pleased though Bashful but consented to the Plans proposed by his 15on fac tt esses. The o'ay loli.nving tho visitation hy the Camera S.p.iad the Roy received Seventeen Papers each containing a cut or two of him together with Likenesses of tl: President, Ylce-Prew'.dent and Secretary-Treasurer f the ("Sab. AH called attention to his "Bright Face" or "Spiritual Rok" ueci.r.iing at the City ur the Society Editor had composed the lines which iiccompRrilcd the Illustration. All Jocularly referred to him as "The jiev with Forty Mothers." When this thing had been going on for a week, the Other Roys began to Hate hi: i. When he came home from The City with his glad Raia er.t they called htm Dude and Sissy. Before the advent of the Forty Moth- rs No ore had paid much attention to him, one way or the oth-r. They had regarded him as Just an Average Kid and let it go at that. While most of the boys made fun of him, a few Admired hlia. These than.! in the Pea -nuts.

Evidently Jack Powell had a rejuvenation yesterday against the Sox and six innings and in the battle with Smith It looked as though the old-timer would pull out a victor... but the eighth proved too much for him. Davis was back at short and he pulled the whole infield together again with the result that Smith was jollied along In fine style and worked his arm off to win. Just fifteen men faced Powell in tho first five innings, while Smith had a hard time in the first, but got together as the game went along. In the eighth the game was won after ll.ilm was out. Jones doubled, Izzy singled. Jones scoring and Izzy taking second on the throw in. Jiggs fanned, but Rohe hit a liner past Powell and Izzy came home. Dougherty dropped one in front of the plate and Powell threw it into the pavilion and Rohe scored. The Sox got one more in the ninth. The Sox will play one more game with St. Louis today, and Sunday will come home for a game with Detroit. My, my, what can be the trouble with those Cubs. Why they allowed the Pirates to get away with another gamo yesterday making two straight, and the latter are not much to boast about either. It was the pitchers fault again, and Camnitz evidently got a coaching from Liefield as to the faults and failings of the Cub batters. Carl Lundgren was not hit very hard, but he was extremely wild and allowed five passes, but the seven hits were pretty well bunched. Hofman was the bright fielding star of the game and also was the leading batsman getting two bingles. lie made one of his famous catches when he meshed one off the fence from Honus Wagner's bat. Joe Tinker went into short and Hofman was sent to the field as Del Howard displeased Hank O'Day several days ago and now he Is resting for three days per orders of President Pulllam. Ruelbach and Leever today. Packy McFarland showed last night that he can be considered with the best in the country when it comes to lightweight pugilistic honors, when he won the decision over Charley Neary in Milwaukee. The boys went ten of the hottest rounds ever pulled oft in that burg and the crowd was on tip toe all the time. Mac went through the mill without a mark, while Neary was punished badly. Tho boys went at it with a rush, but Mac's clever blocking and footwork pulled him out of bad holes. He used the good old straight left while he walloped with his right. Only in two rounds did Neary have the advantage over the stock yards boy, the fifth and sixth, and those two were near even. Packy showed that he could punch hard with both hands and several times had Neary wabbly. The decision was good in favor-of Packy.

The Letroit team bumped the Naps yesterday and ns a result they are two games behind again. The struggle this year la a beaut and promises to continue until the end of the season. The fans ae up in the air over it ar.d are rooting hard for their teams. The Naps play the Titters today and the Sox play them tomorrow. Richard Crocker showed that he is a good sportsman when he pent a ! challenge to Captain J. II. Greer, the i owner of Slieve Gallion for a match ! race with Orby at any distance front live furlongs to three miles. Greer dei ciined to accept.

Squires is also visited often and all agree that he is a good one. We should get the returns on the Fourth by 5 o'clock. WITH THE EDITORS Henry James' picturesque old houso in Sussex in known as the "Charles Lamb house," from its association with the life of that famous author. Mr. James keeps up a thoroughly well ordered establishment in spite of being a bachelor and one of his principal recreations is to take long walks along the country roads in the vicinity of his home. A vast amount of work has been accomplished by this man of letters concerning whose genius there has been so much disagreement among the critics. Some twenty-five or nearly half of Ids books have been novels, nrany volumes of short stories stand to liis credit, his work as a critic is recognized by many who are unable to read his fiction; and then his life of Hawthorne and biography of Story, besides many early descriptive essays. "So various is the expression of this personality," writes .II. K. Dwight, "so that our novel in mannertaotaointa novel in manner and matter, that our inability after forty years either to accept or to reject it is perhaps not to be wondered at." "Victor Hugo's Intellectual Autobiography" is a belated volume of Victor Hugo's writings the manuscript of which dates from the exile in Guernsey, when the genius of the writer underwent that well known change which gave to his later writings their melancholy spirit. Hugo directed that the manuscript should not be published until some years after his death, his purpose, apparently, being that he might without reserve set forth his private conclusions on literature, philosophy, art and religion. Hugo's heirs have withheld the book for a still longer period that they might be able to make it the chief memorial of his centenary. The first half of the volume is devoted to literature and art, while the second gives the author's convictions as to the human soul, man's destiny and God. IlEV. v. - ' - r .-

The present scandal about Hank and his tenant's wife, Jlts the "loving husband" theory. Zaek Zeiglcr's biographer says that ho is "one of the most progressi vo men in tho township." If tax dodging is the measure of progress, then Zack is surdy progres-sl e. Zack, in spite of his rheumatism, has had to take threo annual trips to the county at to appear before the board of review, each time getting a boost in his tax assessments. Then there is Hank Plummer. Now, Hank is a good man. but it is positively wicked to call him "independent and fearless." The poor, henpeck(J man dare not call 1113 soul nls own when his wife's around. Dike Allen, the undertaker, is described as "an amiable gentleman, who is a credit to the community." If the biographer had said that Dike was a necessary evil In the community he would have come closer. But we take exception to the amiability expression Dike is a grouch. He grumbles if peo ple are slow in dying off. An under taker who complains of poor business is about the limit. The biographer unwittingly gets oft a delicious piece of humor when he says that George Grimes, who died last year, "is one of the best remem bered men in the county." The hack writer In right. Grimes will be long remembered, but mainly by his creditors. Grimes owed many, and they will remember him long. The best remembered deceased people are those who owe you. You quickly forget a friend after he's dead, but somehow a dead debtor sticks in your memory long after your friend's services and favors have faded. Bug Brown, who does business in his wife's name, is set down as "an enterprising merchant." Gus Wilson is described as a "friend of education." It is notorious that Gus has ducked his taxes, incindtng his school tax, for years. Yes, Gus is a friend of education if somebody elee pays the bills for his large family's schooling. "An honest, upright man, who is a credit to the township" is Bill Brumley, the milkman. Yes, we know Bill, so do his customers. For a long time Bill sold what the French call "baptized milk" watered milk. And he didn't give it a modest Methodist sprinkling either he gave it a genuine Baptist ducking. Bill was arrested and fined for this. G. IL STREETEIL 1S89-1893. ' f tr . s 5 $ 1 .. . ... ., ... ,
