ing OF all such Companies as in the opinion of

Agents for such, forfeit a penalty in so doing.
In coming to this conclusion the Commis-
slOner has followed the course already adopt

THE TILToN.FULToN LIBEL SUIT.-In al.
luding to this matter, the New York Tribune
gives publicity to the following statement ;but
in justice to Mr.. Fulton and his friends, it
should be stated that they declare it to be an
unmltiealed libel and falsehOod, and that they
are prepared with proof to substanitate their
declarations:
About three years ago. Mr.. Theodore Tilton
and the Rev JustinD. Fulton dined one day at
Delmonico's in company with some other gen.
tlemen, and wine was on the table. Some
time after. when the Rev. Justin D. Fulton,
was in Boston, Mr.. TiIton heard that Mr..
Fulton had said in the course OF a temperance
lecture that he Mr. Tilton) admitted that he
took wine tor bis brain, the same time that he
advocated in the strongest possible terms the
stoppaSe by all persons of the use of intoxi-
eating liquors as beverage. These slate
ments went the rounds OF the press, and a
few days ago Mr.. Tilton while in this city,
met wealthy and well-known merchant, who
said abiding to the charges
Don't you think that those persons who
live in glass houses should not throw stones %
IL am aware" replied Mr.. Titon, sit those
persons who live in glass houses do throw
stones that they are likely to get their window
panes broken"
well" said the merchant, ''the Rev. Justin
u. Fulton OF Boston is lampooning you tor
havil g said that you took wine for your
uraIn."
II never said so," responded Mr.. Tilton.
Il didn't suppose You did," said the mer-
chant, "but l thought would tell yoL that
the ev. Justin ID. Fulton oil Boston, the ad-
vOcate Of total abstinence, and the eloquent
temperance orator, who prOclaims it in Ire
mont Temple that total abstil ence is the best
OF all things for physical health and morals
Drank lager here with me after he had del v
| cred a sermon in the Rev. DR.. Amitage's
church. Yes, we having left the church to
gether, sauntered down town, and, while
walking In the Bowtry. he invited me into a
| lager beer saloon on that thoruuohae, and
although we had ei.ht or ten glasses of lager
beer. Mr.. Fulton drank the larger number OF
glasses o it,"
"Could You swear that what you say is
true?" inquired MIR. TiEon.
IL could, sir" said the merchant, "and do
| it without the slightest mental reservation
and in the most conscientious manner"
Il do not like to interfere with the private
character OF any clergyman" said Mr.. 'Tilton
''aud therefore am inclined to leave the Rev
Justin d. Fulton severely alone"
"But b, is severe prohlbitionist of the use
OF Intoxicating liquors in any form while he
| is hypocrite, when l know that he drank
lager beer with me in that saloon IN the Bow.
cry; that be invited me into it; that he ap
parently had a cultivated taste for the bever-
age; and that he drank the larger quantity oi
4 what was taken."
All of this conversation is related by Mr.
Tilton, but he prefers tor the present not to
make pnblic the name of the wealthy and
| well known merchant" who permitted the
| clergyman to drink 'the larger quantity ol
| what was called lOr."

A BRUSH OVER WOMAN SUFFRAGE.-The
American Social Science Association, at its
annual meeting in Boston, ON Wednesday,
had brush ON the question of woman suf-
fraee. Mrs. Dali protested against the report
of the Committee to nominate officers as hav-
ing no women upon it. Col. Higginson asked
for the reading OF names OF the last board, by
Dali and Miss May were members. Mr.. Phil
brick stated that the idea was not to dlscrimi.
nate against women, but to leave the board to
fill its own vacancies. Col. Higginson moved
to add the names of Mrs. Parkman and Miss
May to the board as directors. Mrs. Dali
spoke several times and stated that the decli-
nations OF the two ladies' associated with her
last year were made jestingly, instead OF seri-
ously. as declared by the president. She was
willing to go out of the association, without
rsigning, il necessary to its interests. The
president replied that he did not intend to in
terere in the electiOnn oil officers, but it as
his p Ovince as chairman OF the meeting to
state facts. Mr.. Washburne advocated the
leav ne the matter with the board, and he
hoped there would be one meeting where men
and women could cooperate without intrOdu
eng the subject that is exciting so much dis
cussion outside. Rev. j. Il. Sargent would
not belong TO the association one bour, if it
declared against womans rights. Mr.. Phil
brick moved to lay Col. Hieginson's motion
upon the table. TIE motion was lost, and
Mrs. Parkman and Miss May we're added to
the board by unanimous vote. The presi-
dent then made an address and the meeting
dissolved.

short time ago on heavy bonds for good conduct
Is going to make another attempt to reach

FEAST OF THE MnaCULArE CONCEPTION.


Celebration of tho Festival in This City.
Bereft as IL were OF sainted hero, America has
been placed by the Holy Fathers OF the Catholic
Church under the especial guardianship OF the
Mother OF God, and the festival OF the Immaculate
Conception OF the Blessed Virgin which takes place
to-day, Is therefore regarded with great Importance
throughout the country, Indeed, the entire Catholic
world win this day manifest an extraordinary
degree OF religious interest In honor OF the great
least There are very few holy festva Is occurring
during the year that elicit more widespread
united and earnest devotional demon stration than
that OF the Immaculate Conception. The belief OF
Roman Catholics therein has existed fiOm the car
lest ages, although 1t was not until the year 1884
that the dogma was made regular article II faith.
1t was In accordance with the universal desire and
belief established by the authority OF many evange
lists that In tnat year the relgninx Pontif,
Pope Plus IX issued The following decree-'It is q
dogma OF the faith that the most blessed Virgin
Mary IRON the first Instant OF her conception by the
singular privilege and grace OF God in virtue OF the
merits OF Jesus Christ the Savior OF mankind was
preserved perfectly free from all stains OF original
sln.n The day will be celebrated in this city, and,
indeed, in all countries, with the customary observ
anoes. II Is regarded as strict holiday OF obiga-
ton and the Catholic churches VIII therefore be
largely attended. The grand celebration OF the least
