The CHAPLAIN's INNOCENT HlNT.-Some
time ago prisoner named Reilly escaped
from the Eastern Penitentiary by conceal
ing himself under the body Of wagon
which brought supplies to the institution
Before the vehicle reached Market street
Reilly snatched q cape from lady, was ap-
prended and sent to MoyamenSing Prison
Here he was visited by one Of the officials
connected with the Pententiary
"Well, Reilly" said the officer, what did
you run away forr'
Don't blame me; put it on the men who
got up the scheme, and who told me to do
it, !" was the reply.
"Who was that?' was the question.
"Why, the chaplain" quoth Reilly.
''Say no more; | will bring the chaplain" ]"
said the official.
In due time the chaplain, who was a good
and holy man, and who was horror-strlcken
at the charge, confronted Reilly.
Now, Reilly, here is the chaplain" " said
The official. Chaplain, Reilly charges you
with encouraging him to get out OF pris-
on" added the official.
$50 you did," answered Reilly, compla-
Gently
at is not so, you villain! You are not
telling the truth, and you know it!' spoke
up the chaplain.
Hold on!' cried Reilly. "The last time
you saw me you said: Reilly, watch and
pray didn't you%
Yes, added the chaplain.
"Well, l did watch, and Iprayed and I
prayed and watched, and the first answer
that came to my prayers was that wagon
and | slid out on it, was Reilly's answer
The chaplain acknowledged Reilly caughl
him, only he meant for the convict to
watch and pray in another direction

ONE of the most grinding monopolies
that now aflict the American people,
both rich and poor, but from which the
poor suffer most acutel y, is that of the
Standard Oil Company. If it was a
legitimate combination al long oil dealers
solely it would not be so obnoxious to
public censure, but its chief and most
damaging STRENGTH lies in the fact that it
involves leading lines of railroads, whose
managing officers, having an interest in
the oil monopoly, ALLOW such advantages
and Determinations on freights in favor
of the Standard Company as to virtually
II lie all other dealers out of the market.
Tie Regan Bill in Congress, which has
passed the House and is now before the
Senate, if it becomes a law, will virtually
destro this monstrous monopoly. II
prohibits any contract by or with com
mon carrier through which special ad
yantages are received by my person OF
corporation, and severe pena ties are i'm
posed for any discrimination under sucl
contracts as between two persc-ls offering
the same freight in car loads. Congress.
clearly has jurisdiction, in its Constitn
tional powers, to regulate commerce be
tween the States, and it is to be hopec
they will be exercised in this case.

IT is now claimed that Ex-senator
Fenton, of New York, will be made Min
lister to Berlin. If the President should
make this nomination, and the Senate
confirm it without opposition from
Conkling, it will be evidence that the
quarrel between the New York Senator
and the Administration is fully healed.
Fenton and Conkling have been bitter
political enemies, and the heads of the
two Republican factions i'll New York.
When Conkling consents to the confirm
alton of Fenton, it can be taken for
granted that he has no further quarrel

The Fate of the "Queerest''
Hotel

When that oddity of hotel in New
York was opened exclusively for women
the Times took the liberty of remarking
that itwould not be a success. 1t is a mag
niticent ebuilding, complete in all It's ap-
pointments and with every comfort a
lodger ought to expect. No hotel ever
had more gratuitous advertisement or
better. Yet, Notwithstanding the fact
that the press, both secular and religious
trumpeted its fame to an exceeding lib
eral extent, the hotel is nearly empty
and is not likely to be any more crowd
ed than it now is. Thus far somewhat
less than fifty women have seen fit to
choose it for their abiding place. AS
nearly two hundred employees are re-
quired TO keep up the dignity of the
house, it is easy to see that the estate OF
Stewart is not reaping a very heavy rev.
enue from the hotel. To keep the con-
cern gong for fifty guests requires al
most as much outlay, except in the mat
ter of food, as if every room were full.
Its expenses are over eight hundred dol
lars a day. There are probably few
estates in the country which could stand
this sort of thing better than the estate
of Stewart and yet the shrewd old mil
lionaire was not III the habit of keeping
long ut any thing which did not pay. 1t
is not natural that those who come after
him should continue the Women's Ho-
tel out of mere reverence for his memory
1t is plain that the women have turned
their backs upon it. Whether it is be-
cause of the ever present "reminiscences
of Araby the blest in the shape of per-
| fume waited from the horse-car stables
Immediately opposite, or because of the
absurd regulations which have perhaps
| been sutfi ciently held up to ridicule, only
few women show disposition to have
| ANYTHING to do with ii. The rumor has
! now assumed a definite shape that the
Stewart estate will soon take down tn,
ridiculous regulations and open the hote
for all people who choose to enter, pos
sibly excepting the Children of Israel
| This looks like business. The expert
ment which has been tried might
have been more successful hat
| it been tried ON ON wise
plan. AS it is, the problem of providin,
good and cheap quarters for the WORKING
women of our large cities is one whic
may well engage the ingenuity and en-
terprise of the wealthy and the benevo
lent.-Pttld. Times
