ECESSITY OF ACTION ON THE PART OF

A PHILADELPHIA Judge has decided
that procession has no right to interrupt
the ordinary travel on the streets. The
case arose on an order given by the Mayor
of that city that no street cars should be
allowed to cross certain street while pro-
cession was passing, which order was diso-
beyed by one of the lines, and the question
finally reached a judicial determination,
with the result above stated. The decision
is right. There is no sort Of reason why

The Good Little Boy, Who Didn't
.4i 4u go a fishing on Sunday.

The superintendent asked me to take
charge ofa Sunday school class. "Youll
find 'em rather hard lot" said he.
"They all went fishing last Sunday,
but Johnny Rand. He is reallya good
boy and hope his example may yet
redeem the others. wish you'd talk
to 'em little" -..t .
l told him 1 would. They ,celr
rather hard looking set. 1 don't
think ever witnessed more elegant
assortment of black eyes in my life.
Little Johnny Rand, the good boy, was
in his place, and / smiled on him ap-
provingly. As soon as the lessons We're
over said: "Boys, your superintend-
ent tells me you were fishing last Sum-
day. All but little Johnny here. You
didn't go, did you, Johnny"
stNo, SIR"
"That was right. Though this boy
is the Youngest among you," con-
tinued f'you will now learn from his
lips words of good counsel, which i
hope you will profit by" / lifted him
on the seat beside me and smoothed
his auburn locks.
"Now, Johnny, 1 want you to tell
your teacher and these wicked boys
why you didn't go fishing with them
last Sunday. Speak up loud, now. IL
was because 1t was wicked, and you
had rather come to Sunday school,
wasn't it?"
mo, sir. 1t was cos couldn't lind
no worms for bait"

Heathen Contribution Boxes.

A correspondent of the Liberal Chris
Gda,, writing from Yeddo, says the first
element of Japanese art is massiveneSs,
and among other illustrations Of this
fact, he cites the gigantic scale on which
they conduct their charities. Placed
conspicuously in front Of almost every
temple is contribution box OF almost
a ton capacity, the top grated like O
huge cage. This box suggestive OF
great liberality on the part of the wor-
shippers, and in order that this reputa-
tion may be kept up without drawing
too heavily on their finances, they use
a bulky coin worth about tOne-hundreth
of a cent. Whether this coin was first
invented to fill the box, or the box to
hold the coin, is not known, but their
admirable fitness for purposes of snowy
but economical charity was instantly
recognized and soon brought them into
general use. In comparison with these
imposing appliances, the tin plate with
its precious cOppers, often seen in
American churches, must appear to the
Japanese visitor as primitive in the eX-
treme. With improved coin a much
better display might be made at far less
expense. Instead of two or three men
passing down the aisles with diminu-
tive plates he would probably have re-
lays of deaeons collecting nickles by
the handful. However, as it is be-
coming fashionable to donate minis
tiers with joints of stove-pipe, empty
vinegar barrels, and such like articles,
this idea of smassiveneSS In art seems
to be gradually gaining ground.

Terrible Tornado.

ST. LOUIS, March S.-A most terrific
hurricane passed over portion of East
st. Louis between two and three o'clock
this afternoon. The wind first came
from the southeast, accompanied by a
brisk shower, but suddenly veefed to
the southwest, and came with fury
and force never before witnessed in this
latitude. ts.ls
1t first struck the elevator on the
bank of the river and took parts of its
roof off, and passing on in due north
east direction it totally demolished the
freight depot of the st. Louis Il Van
dalia Railroad, 800 feet long by 100 feet
wide, and a water tank 80 feet high,
the freight and passenger depot Of the
Southeastern Railroad, two freight de-
pots, portion of the passenger depot
and ticket Office and a large rOundhOuse
of the Chicago d Alton road, the car
house, scale Office, freight office, and
part of the freight depOts of the Ohio &
Mississippi Railroad, the freight and
passenger depots of the Toledo d Wa
bash road, and a number of dwelling
houses in the vicinity A portion of
the roof of the Terre Hddte 4 Indianap-
oils depot was blown off. Nearly all
the derricks and other appliances used
in the construction of the bridge were
thrown from their places and blown
into the river. Everything within a
width of two or three hundred yards
WAS actually torn to pieces. A whole
train of cars, including thirty ton To-
comOtiye, was blown from the track
and hurled some forty feet into slough.
Another train of thirteen cars laden
with grain was Overthrown and smash
ed, and one Car blown into the river
A train coming in on the Terre Haute
road, when at BROOKLYN, three miles
north of East st. Louis, was blown from
the track, and some forty cars standing
bash and Chicago il Alton Railroad,
The rOundhouse of the Chicago d Alton
Railroad, after being blown down,
caught fire from an engin1 inside, and
its ruins burned. The engineer of the
locomotive was burned to death. The
number of killed and wounded can not
be stated tonight, but seven are known
to be killed; between thirty and forty
seriously, some dangerously, wounded,
and a good many more slightly injured.
1t is believed number of persons are
still buried beneath the ruins. The
scene is frightful. Houses are torn to
fragments, Others unroOfed or upset,
and still others carried bodily from
their foundations. Scarcely a building
or tree or anything else within the
track of the storm is standing. The
wreck and ruin is complete. The pc
cuniary losses are estimated as follows:
Chicago & Alton Railroad, $500, 200;
Ohio mississippi, S20O,0O0; Toledo 4
Wabash, sl25,000; st. Louis & Van
dalia, $4,000; Southeastern, 1000;
Virgins Ferry Company, $25, 900. Two
or three steamboats, lying on the east
ern side of the river were also very .se.
riously damaged.

Temperance.
An Exchange Proposed.

''Wanted, to exchange good brandy
for neat cottage and lot, in a desirable
part of the city, suitable for a small
family" -....
The above appeared in II morning
paper and furnishes text for extensive
comment and much reflection. These
exchanges are going on daily, and not
only cottages and Lots are being ex-
changed for brandy, but farms, ranches,
mining claims, fortunes, constitutions,
regulations and lives are being ex-
changed for brandy. We leave the
reader to follow his own imagination
and ask him to reflect Pacific, San
Francisco. r..-s ...;s
Exchanges of the kind spoken of by
our California contemporary, are almost
as common hereabOuts as in 1.-THE Golden
State. There are hundreds of estab-
lishments along our streets which are
opened for and sustained by the busi-
ness. They are called ''eoffee-houses,"
Saloons" "restaurants,' etc., but the
names like curtains and blinds which
they keep over the windows and before
the doors, are used to hide from the
public the real nature of the transac-
tions. They should be compelled to
hang out sigT, proclaiming what
they really do. 1t runs something as
follows - i-e..... -ts...g. -,-
"Wanted-The health ofyoung men
their moral principles-the hopes of
their parents prospects for life in
all time to come. Wanted-ThehOme
of happy families-the hearts of wives
to be brOken-children to be reduced to
beggary and rags. Wanted-The prop
erty, the reputation and the souls of
men. In exchange we will give rum
sweetened with sugar, favored with
lemon and nutmeg-rum in all its
forms, and under all its various
Names"
