A SHARPER's TRICK.

Chester Times of Yesterday says;-Two
men of this city, adopts in turning aces,
kings and queens, with a Philadelphian
equally as expert at poker, visited Lower
Chichester few days ago, and after pass
lag the young Philadelphia sharper off as q
wholesale liquor merchant, began a game
at cards. They soon neeced the proprietor
of leading hotel in that township out of
$50, and he fumed and sweat over 1t, but
could do nothing, because he had allowed
gambling in his house.
They drove down to Brandywine Huns
dred, Del, and soon abstracted $50 from am
other hotel keeper there in about as short
a TINA as they did the first one. The three
came to the South ward, Chester, and duffed
two hotel proprietors to the tune of about
$25 each. All this was done In q few hours,
but SO effectually accomplished that the loss
ers were compelled to accord to the three
the palm. ...... ..

THENINIH WARD CASE.

"Evsry Evening" is right condemning
the 9Th ward frauds but it advises the
Board of Education to course Of action as
illegal and censurable as the fraud 1t con,
demns. No man can be deprived Of any
right of his without due process Of law ,and
the mere s1parts statement of the forty.nve
votes of the 9th ward does not rise to the
dignity of evidence and cannot be treated
as such. There is right and wrong
way of acting in the premises, and the Board
should be careful ard not commit greater
wrong, than was perpetrated in the 9th
ward by an illegal remedy. ~
Nothing is to be inferred against Mr.
Farrell, he is in office by the action of the
Board, and until his title is ovsrthrown, by
competent testimony in legal proceed
ings, the Board it has no power to disturb
him. IT 10 matter of taste with Mr.. Far
rell personally, whether he will retain his
place pending the investigation but one
thing is certain, if the Board attempts any
arbitrary exercise of power, he ought to
fight back. Thus far there is no proof such
as a court would entertain as to how the
veters voted.

crowded perhaps, but containing ladiei
euough to cover all the seats with theil
dresses so that this traveller had to stand
up. The car stopped suddenly, and she fell
over, breaking her knee pan. She sued fol
dam ages. The company claimed oontrib'
utory negligence on her part in that she
did not take hold of the strap that is pro-
vided for standing passengers. She set up
on the other hand that she could not reach
or hold the strap owing to the stays which
she wore, and that with the present fashions
no lady could do so, at least without incen-
venisnce and possibly injury.
The Common Pleas decided that the lady,
In taking hold of fellow passengers hand,
had done all that was necessary and that
under the circumstances, she was not OBJ
liged to stretch up to the strap. Itawarded
her $4,000, and the Supreme Court, review-
iug the case, declined to interfere.

sentation, Samuel II Harrington read an
original article, quite as full of humor as
the author. entitled "A Little Lamb once
was Had by Mary" or some other queer
name like that. In some of it's parts the
article outrivals the efforts of the "Sweet
Singer of Michigan"
Following the above came a tableau

DECORATION DAY.

Aprspos of the celebrations of the day
we quote the opinion of Archbishop Wood,
Of Philadelphia, upon the subject. Last
year the Cathedral Cemetery at West Phila>
delphia, was closed against Post OF the
Grand Army, of the Republic, and 1t was
resolved by that body this year rot to 60 to
any of the Catholic cemeteries in Philadel~
phia. This coming to the ears of the Arch>
bishop, he caused himself to be interviewed
by reporter Of the Ledger, to whom he
made the following statement
"The matter has been entirely misunder>
Stood" said the Archbishop. II never
gave any orders forbidding the Grand Army
Of the Republic to visit any cemetery in my
diocese to decorate the graves of any SOL
diers who may be there. I once refused to
allow the children of the orphan asylum to
accompany post to cemetery, because
there was hymn and psalm singing which
Is not in conformity with the rules of our
Church. do not know much about the
Grand Army"
The reporter explained that twas secret
society entirely removed from politics, and
the rock on which 1t stood was charity, dls
pensed after the manner of not letting the
right hand know what the left hand doeth.
"Well. now," replied Archbishop Wood,
81 have no objections TO allowing any post
OF the Grand Army of the Republic visiting
any Catholic cemetery in my diocese to dec
crate the graves of the soldiers. They can
90 there and sing hymns and / will not OBJ
ject in the least. l admire the ceremonies
and most heartily approve OF them. I am
patriot myself" he added laughingly,
"although never fought"
This we trust will settle the question In
80 far as any misunderstanding may have
existed.
The Right Rev. Bishop Of this Diocese
has pevec objected, that we know Of, 80 it
is to be hoped that frem tomorrow, and
hezcoferth the brave who sleep their last
sleep in Catholic cemeteries will be remem-
bered upon the day.

EDITOR OF MORNING HERALD lin
Mondays Every Evening and Commercial
the editor, in referring to the Democratic
County Meeting says that there were men
present that were a disgrace to the yeo>
manry of the county, and that should be in
the pen!tentiary, or words to that effect. =,
Now, want to ask the people of this
city and county by what authority

the best men Of both parties In this State,

PRESCRIPTION FOE Il CITI
EDITOR,

We respectfully dedicate to famous city
editor, the following prescription taken
from recent speech of Colonel Ingersoll,
Inasnnch as the gentleman to whom this is
dedicated, holds many of the broad views Of
the Colonel, we hope it may lead him to
better ways than he has heretofore follow
ed. We In common with others, have tried
the Decalogue, the Bible, the didatic
morals of Senaca, and the ascetic phi-
losopby of Faber upon him. but they affect
ed him about as much as water upon a
ducks back-aad he has peversely kept on
in his cusstSasss We now try Bob Inger~
soil jor his stomach sake, were he to try .
little good humor it would improve him
much, at the bottom we suppose he has
virtues like other people.
Listen "Sir Editor" to Bob and take his
advice.
"There is thousand times more good
than bad in the world. To-day the news
papers are engaged in finding out all the
mean things that are done. Unless thing
is bad thing it is not known. [Laugter.]
III all the reporters of all the newspapers
would look through all the streets and
through all the houses of the country and
find the name of some man who had prac>
ttced self-denisl for the sake of wife and
children, find some man who had given up
all the property he had to pay bis honest
debts, who had gone out of his house,
given up his pictures and all there was Of
luxury, and taken his wife by her hand and
gone down to poverty ard penury in hut;
If they would tell the names OF all the men
who had done generous deeds, / tell you
every newspaper in the Uaited States would
be crowded with the names ofthe men and
women
We will patiently to see how Bob's medis
cine will influence our neigbbor. 1t would
certainly clear the yellow tinge in his eye,
give tone to his stomach, and add to the
number Of his friends. Look out for
change of heart and veritable conversion.
