Ladies, we beg your pardon,
We acted wrong, we know,
By leaving you at the ball last night,
We're forgiven; please say it is 50.
You know we were in a bad humor,
For W-got the shake,
While c. was feeling very bad
From eating too much cake.
Yet We hope you will forgive US,
1t shall never happen again,
An we hope the next party you give,
1t will not be in the rain.
Now we hope our apoloRy's accepted,
And no i'll feelings are existing at all,
And we assure you the next party we attend
Well not leave the girls at the ball,
But we are all liable to make mistakes,
And do what Is not right.
But this was our first, we hope we're ex
cused,
And now bid you fond good night.

Courier-Journal: The irrefutable
fact remains that Joe Bradley
Electoral Commission decided that
Hayes was entitled % the Presi-
dency on one certificate which did
not conform to the Constitution and
the law, and was invalid, and on an
other which was the product OF
fraud and forgery. Justices Strong
Miller and Bradley, Senators Nor.
ton, Edmunds, Frelighuysen, Howe
Garfield and Hoar, knew about this
fraud, and yet declared that the
worthless papers elected Hayes.

Hair Balsam, in the discovery Of its
rare and remarkable merits. Many have
written US expressing their delight in
the fact that it works like a charm. Its
disinfectant properties in chemical com
bination rendering it healtlaul, cleans

ments for which we have reason TO feel
proud. a patron assures US that he has
used twelve different Hair Preparations

juno Graduates.

The schools and colleges are de
liverIng their products TO the world
in this summer month of June, says
the Courier-J ournal.
There are crowded chapels,
through which the perfumed air
flows from wood and meadows and
stirs the blue ribbons and fleecy
muslins of the flock of girl gradu-
ates on the platform. How lovely
they all do lookl And the world
cries "Give! Give" for it would be
crowned with the beauty which has
fingered years within the cloisters
of learning,
What will you do with all these
girl graduates, oh, World2 They
stand with their feet in the entrance
of land in which it seems to them
it is ever afternoon. They speak
their aspirations, and they are very
great and noble. These young
things deserve a better fate than TO
be the mere creatures of attitude,
the dressmaker and the parlor.
Yet nearly all Of them will drift as
gold and crimson and purple and
violet seaweed drifts upon the Ian
guild waters of some oceanic cur
rent, borne they know not whittier;
careless of whittier, just so long as
the sunlight and the blue sky
abound, until perhaps some trans
formed, apocryphal new voice calls
to them, and they suddenly remem
Der that the sun is high; it is nearly
noon, and they arc nUt-married!
That follows; but such girls do
not all go out in the rain when the
husband is bound To them by
hooks of steel. They may have
fallen like ripe peaches into the
first basket that is handy.
That is not always wise. The
"sweet girl graduate" who looks a
goddess on the commencement plat
form may therefore DRIFT into pale
drudge, with a flock Of children
hanging to her hands and skirts, and
nothing more. The world is TO
blame for this, and it has evil ways
and evil counsels-that world. The
June graduates had better be sus-
picious of it, and be natural and
safe. So may they still be the con
temptuous.

one square inch in floor or ceiling

The screen at the back of the altar

An Article in the New York Indepen'
dent, Sept. 12th, 1878, says:

while the producing class have found
great difficulty in making ends meet,
those who have been keen enough to fore
see the drift of events, have turned their
attention toward Wall street, and made
handsome amounts by simply taking ad-
vantage of opportunities offered there by
tho exigencies of the times. Stocks, bonds,
and money securities are merely tokens of
the surplus wealth of the country, and the
pressure of circumstances makes it necess-
airy that hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of these should change hands every
day through the New Y ork Stock Exchange.
There is always margin of profit for some
one in these transfers, and it is these mar
ginal profitszthat attract people from all
parts of the country to secure share in
them. The extensive banking and broke
rage house of Messrs. Lawrence d Co., 81
Broad ST., n. Y, has introduced the most
popular and profitable style of operating in
stocks yet known which is adapted to the
understanding and means of all classes.
This is the Combination Method, igiving
to each member all the advantageous of
unlimited capital and the largest expert
ence in operating, A party wishing to
take turn at the market can place with
Messrs, Lawrence Il Co. $25. $50, 500
or $500, as the case may be, and obtain
shares in one Of their combinations, and
from these sums realize profit of from
five to ten times the amount invested with
in thirty days. Many of their customers
are in receipt of fabulous profits One
man made over 81, 100 from 5000. Anoth-
er $3.50 from 1926. We have thoroughly
investigated the combination system, and
are satisfied that it is founded upon cor
rect and safe principles, assuring to those
who avail themselves of a reliable bust
ness, which can beIpursued regularly or oc-
casionally, as self interest may dictate, No
energetic person need be without an in
come while the combination plan of ope-
rating in stocks is kept in working order by
Messrs. Lawrence & Co. The press and
and public generally endorse the combina
ton plan for its successful results. The
standing and reliability of Messrs. Law
renee & Co. is we'll known to the oldest
and best business houses In the city.

berry of Stewards grave or the Manhatten
savings bank, but the latter was the gen.
eral impression. - Superintendent of Police
Wulling said to reporter to-day: Il
don't know anything of any arrests what
ever having been made in the Stewart
case, If there is any arrest | assure you
on my honor that [ know nothing Of it.
The men who got up the sensational
stories for the morning papers know abso
lutely nothing about the case,
Capt BONES, Of the police station
where the men are confined, refused to
state whether they were arrested for steal
ing Stewards body, but said, however,
that there were no prisoners in his station
house for bankruptcy. Inspector bikes,
at the police Central Office, stated that
he could not say whether anything would
grow out of it, but that there might. Two
women came to the station-houSe with
bundles for the prisoners and then left.
The women were Swallowed by police off
GERS at every step and it was evident that
the most vigorous restraint had been
placed upon them to prevent anything of
what they knew being given to reporters.
However it was learned that a Mrs.
Wright lived on the top floor of 402 East
Twelfth street, with whom person named
Baker had been living for some time past.
Her husband is in Jail for passing counter
| felt money. Baker was not at home, but
Mrs. Wright herself was encountered, who
proved to be one of the women who Wis
tied the station house. 1t now turned out
by her admission that Baker was Whalen
one of the prisoners, and that Burke, the
other prisoner, was her brother. Whalen
was arrested Oh Thursday for completely
in the Stewart robbery case. Burke was
taken on Tuesday night at his mothers
house, 100 East Fortieth street. To-day
the police ransacked Mrs. Wright's rooms
and seized all her papers and some belong
Ii2g to her brother, Burke. She said both
men were spectators and crooked, Mrs
Wright claimed tonight that Burke al
least was innocent, and that she can clear
him Of all suspicion when she gives an &C
count of his movements from before the
Manhattan bank burglary up till after the
Stewart sacrilage,
