brought the lost children not reclaimed
at the precinct guard houses, where they
are first takeu. All, thus fer, have been
handed over to their parents, or sent
under the care of guards to their homes
or hotels on the same day. Over 500
children have thus been returned to their
parents, aud as these were only the
"worst lost cases." it is estimated that
several thousands have actually been
missed and reclaimed soon afterward at
the stations. The ages of the little folks
ranged all the way from 2 to s years,
and, with few exceptions, they have
bravely resigned themselves to await
the long delayed coming of their pa
rents, in full faith that the promise of
the kind hearted adjutant to send them
home, if not soc called for, would be
fulfilled. rEI

A Direct Vote.

All hands, irrespective of party, unite
in expressing the opinion that there
should be q direct vote of the people
instead of choosing Presidents through
electoral colleges. Judging from the
general drift of conversation in New
York, it would not be difficult matter
to secure at once, by common consent,
the passage and necessary ratification OF
q constitutional amendment providing
that hereafter there shall be direct
vote of the people for President and
Vice President.-NetOY York Letter.

Una ~ Vermont Presidential

One Of the Vermont Presidential
electors being Postmaster, and there
fore ineligible. the question hes been
raised whether the votes cast for him
are not void, and whether, consequently,
his Democratic opponent might not con-
test the election and obtain the certii-
cate. Ii is stated, however, that the
statute provides for the Legislatures
filing the vacancy, therefore the point
seems not to be well taken. Meanwhile,
the gentleman in question has made
haste to resign his commission as Post
master, and it is said his resignation is
already in the hands of the Postmaster
General. A similar cases is reported
from Oregon and Louisiana.

The local pride OF the citizens of East
CRANKY, CT, is good deal stirred by
the discovery that that place has been
the birthplace and home of the ances-
tors of both Presidential candidates.
Mr.. Tilden is great-grandson, on his
mothers side, of Luke Thrall, an old
resident of the town, while Mr.. Hayes
ia a hneal descendant OF Daniel Hayes,
one of the early settlers.
Three aristocratic young ladies en-
tered a Brooklyn horse-car, and two of
them began conversation relating TO
the Presidential election. Soft words
soon grew into loud and acrimonious
controversy, in the heat of which one of
the disputants, drawing off her gold
watch and chain, offered to bet them
against $50 that Hayes was elected.
The money was at once produced by the
other, and the third Young lady pocketed
the property as stakeholder. Before
this time, no doubt, there has been an
other row, q good cry all round and a
drawn bet.

Changed His Mind.

A strapping big stranger entered a

and leaning too heavily on the show case
broke one Of the panes of glass.
"That will cost you 81, /" said the pro-
prietor.

stranger.
"Wen, you can't go out of the store
until you pay for that glass, said the
storekeeper in determined voice.
"I'm sorry, but I'm willing to be
licked, if that will do you any good, !"
replied the stranger, rapidly getting out
of two coats and vest and showing arms

The Gorgeous Russian Minister.

The advent of the day is the arrival
and due installation, socially and politi-
cally, of our new Minister Of all the Rus
sias. The gorgeousness of the lately
arrived diplomatic duck-we beg par
don, agent-flIs the common mind with
admiration and amazement Occupying
Mrs. Carrolls palatial residence, the true
diplomatic inwardness comes out, so to
speak, with startling vivacity and splen-
dor. The chasseur, or, as Col. Mulberry
Sellers calls him, the curacao, is alone
an object of wonder. Conceive, no
don't conceive-go look at man who
stands taller and sits shorter than any
Russian we ever saw before-or behind
either-done up in uniform that would
make brigadier die of envy. On his
lofty standings a military hat,
surrounded with q white plume, for
which at least twenty four chicken-cocks
died the death. Then comes the uni
form, made up of gold and gold fringe
and gold embroidery. Why, the one
grapevine worked up his back would pay
our debts. That sounds wild, but we
are prepared with affidavits. This chas-
seur on the streets of Jerusalem would
make Jerusalem hide it's diminished
head. Then the sword-the sword OF
the chasseur or curacoa-is simply i'm
mense. - Washington Capital.

The Spanish Notwithstanding Fish
Interviewed.

A reporter of the New York Herald
called on Secretary Fish at his residence
in Washington, the other day, when, &C
cording to the reporter, the following
brief conversation occurred:
Reporter-Mr. Secretary information has
come to hand to the effect that, notwithstand-
ing recent assurances of peace, war is very
possible between the United States and Spain.
Ihave called upon you to ascertain whether
there is any truth in the report or foundation
for it's statement.
Secretary Fish (rather testily)-Do you sup
pose, sir, for a moment if there was such a
movement on the tapis, that would communi-
cate it to any paper or any individual? do
not care to speak about the Spanish question.
All this talk in re ference to this matter of a
war with Spain, is utterly outside the purpose
of this Government AS we do not seek war
with Spain, the only provocation Of war
must come from them.
Reporter-Have you, MIR. Secretary. any spe-
cific information from the Government at Mad
rid touching the question?
Secretary Fish-The purport of diplomatic
dispatches from any source is considered pri-
vate. The Spanishmatter is one involv-
ing diplomacy There is not one
word of truth in these stories
concerning the difficulty between Spain and
the United States. Botlr countries are on the
best of terms and the little difficulty in regard
to the settlement of the claims in Cuba is in the
best possible way of amicable adjustment.

A RIPE OLD AGE.
Death of Father Boehm, the Methodist
Centenarian.

Centenarian.
The New York Evening Post an
nounces the death of the Rev. Henry
Boehm, better known as Father Boehm,
the Oldest preacher of the Methodist
Church In this country, and probably
the Oldest Clergyman In the world, at the
house of his granddaughter, near Rich
mond, Staten Island.
Father Boehm was born at Lancaster,
Pa, June s, 1775, or nine days previous
to the battle of Bunker Hill. He re-
manned little over twelve months
nominal subject of George III, and cast
his first vote for John Adams, as Pres
ident of the United States in 1876.
He lived in stirring times, remember
ing the events of the Revolutionary War,
of the French Revolution, the Napoleonic
and other wars-in short the most
striking events of two centuries occurred
in his youth. His manhood witnessed
changes and fortunes no less remarkable,
and, in his old age, the din of great
events was still in the ears of this priv
legged mortal. Father Boehm joined the
Methodist Episcopal Church in 1897,
being then in his 22d year, his father
having been for many years minister
among the United Brethren, and for
some time a Bishop OF the same denomi-
nation. The old gentleman joined the
Methodists before he died, and built
Boehm's Chapel, which still exists, being
the first Methodist Church i'll Lancaster
County. Father Boehm was licensed to
preach by the Rev. Thomas Ware, Jan.
6, 1900, and was appointed to travel in
the Dorchester District, on the Eastern
shore of Maryland. He attended the
General conference OF his Church at
Philadelphia four years after he became
preacher, and travelled with the famous
William Colbert in Annamessex Circuit,
gaining numerous converts to the Metho-
dist Church.
He subsequently travelled all over
the East with Bishop Asbury,
and had uniformly success
full career. He travelled with the
Bishop-who was one of the greatest
lights of the American Methodist Epis-
copsl Church-from 1903 to 1913, when
he was appointed Presiding Elder of the
Schuylklll District, which comprised the
entire territory from Wilmington to
Stroudsburg, between the Susquehan-
nah and the Delaware.
His travels with Bishop Asbury were
religiously romantic, embracing the most
picturesque region of the East, along
the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Alleghen-
les, and all the rivers and magnificent
valleys of Virginia, Pennsylvania, and
Maryland.
He next made acquaintance with the
most prominent Methodists of the South,
including Lovick Pierce and William
Capers, both of whom are well remem-
bered as guiding stars of the Southern
Methodist Church. The division was
always heartily deplored by Father
Boehm, who used all his exertions, in
latter days, to bring about union be-
tween the two churches, nominally di-
vided. Father Boehm was acquainted,
he said himself, with all the Methodist
Bishops from Coke to Peak, but Asbury
was the greatest and best of them all.

This was done on Her Majesty's side of

idea shall secure permanent Judgment
