A DEMoRALlzED FISHING PARTY.
Two Bites that Caused q Young Couple
Much ENHANCEMENT.

The young people stopping at popu-
lar resort have got fishing on the brain,
and theygo out fishing every chance they
get. They don't care so much for the
fish as they ito to get out on the lake In
a boat where no one can hear them
talk love. On recent occasion a young
couple went out i'm boat, each armed
with pole and line, some bait, and so
forth, when they got In quiet place
they threw out the hooks, and while the
Young man rowed the boat, the girl
watched both poles. They were talking
of the days that were to come, when
their hearts would be united, and they
would be rowing I'm the double scull
race OF life, fishing for happiness, when
the young man got hungry and stopped
rowing and leaned forward to take
kiss. Just as he made the carom on her
kiss centre, she jumped about two feet
in the air, grabbed the reel and said, 80.
lord, I have got bite" The young
man got back where he belonged, a lit
tie bit offended at fish that would
bite at such an opportune moment,
when his pole began to jerk, and the
line whistIed through the reel, and
he said to his girl that she needn't think
she had all the bites, as he had one, too,
and he began to pull in. 1t seems she
had bass and he had pickerel, and
as they pulled in there respective fish
the lines got tangled, the boat swung
around, and the lines wound around
the fellow and his girl. They dropped
the poles and reels and tried to pull in
the two fish "hand over hand, but the
lines become more taut, land before they
got the fish into the boat the young
man and the girl were drawn together so
close that they could both have had bites
fthey had not been so interested In the
fish. Finally the young fellow got his
pickerel into the boat, but it tapped up
into the girls lap, and she screamed,
and fell over, and the pickeral kicked
her, and by that time her bass was land
ed In the boat aud got tangled in the
line that was around the young mans
shoulder, and it Topped all over his
coat and around on his shirt bosom.

guests are having so much fun. Young
people like that, who go fishing In a
boat together, have got to learn to do

He had tenderly lioAte(z hG<lg placing
his hand under her stomach; he had
jumped her over TIE SUI. 81 .lokingly
grasping her taper waist; he had led
her into deep water by clasping both
her little hands; and to none of this
polite handling had she demurred. 1t
was when he put discs on his hands
that their amieable relations exploded,
with a sound somewhere between dull
thud and sharp smack. Made bold
by an hours familiarity with the water,
she resolved to take header into an
incoming wave. Clasping her small
hands over her head, she changed ends
with becoming graee-her head going
into the water and her feet coming out.
Atthat instant, when she was bent,
as'twere, in mid-air, in the full view of
hundreds, the young man was tempted
by the glorious opportunity into giving
her, with the broad, fiat disc, one re-
sounding spank. Mad? Well, it may
have been the conclusion that redden-
ed her face as she walked right out of
the water alone, but / guess not, be-
cause, in my opinion, it was the glow of
undying hatred for that shameless
Spanker.

~ FISH esffcs have Seen FROM he
of the republic landing on the shoreP ef
America. The Irish and their dese6n1epx
number millions to-day among us. What
should we not have expected from the Irish
in America, when we consider their own
powers, physical, moral and intellectual,
and the boundless resources OF the new
world, which were laid open to them?
What we should have expected, we find
wherever they Stunned liquor; we do not
find it where they have patronized the
whisky shop; and, alas! as great portion
of them have loved the glass, great por-
ton of them are failures in America.
The comparative poverty of the Irish
people in America is a matter OF public
notority. They are the hewers OF wood
and drawers of water. Go where the hard
est work is to be done, you find lrishmen
-burrowing In themines of Pennsylvania,
Washing away their life-blood amid the
neyer-ceasing din of industrial machinery
in New England, strewing with their
corpses lines of railroads or canals. In
large cities the tenement house quarters
are thropged with them, q family striving
to breathe in each room of a building five
stories high, crammed with human beings
from cellar to roof. The condition OF
things is deplorable. Forced poverty is
hurtful to soul and body. Mortality attains
fearful proportions. In the tenement
houses OF New York IS per cent. OF all the
children die within few years after their
birth. The report of the Boston Medical
Association shows that while Irish families
are far more numerous than those OF native
New Englanders, yet on account OF greater
mortality among Irish children, the New
England population would keep pace with
the Irish, were not the latter constantly re-
ceiying new acceSsions from emigration.
Bad ventilation and alcoholism, adds the
report, are impairing fearf1lly the gen
eral sanitary status OF the irish
people. No influence for good, social
or political, can they have amid such pow
erty. What room for evils of all sorts, ply
steal and moral? Well. what keeps the
Irish people in these low social conditioner
The saloon. Thither goes the money earn
ed at the sweat of their brow; thence do
men issue, broken down in health and
strength, to swell the lists of idlers and
paupers. Compute in any one city the
saloons, and you will be affrighted In
one western city of America there are ff-
teen hundred saloons kept by Irishmen
for the benefit OF Irishmen.
Allow the average receipts OF
each saloon to be SIS per day, and you
have an annual expenditure for liquor by
the Irish of that city of So, 212, 500 Add TO
these sums the value of time lost through
drink, of wages unearned because men visit
saloons, and 81, 0O0, 900 per annum is not
too high figure to represent the annual
losses to the Irish Of one city, Repeat the
calculation with due proportion from St
Paul TO New York, from Boston and Phila-
delphis, and you will know why We are
poor. Itisidle talk to advise the people

Society is honeycombed with temptations
to drink; the stoutest and brayest are
daily falling victims. Who, you can ask,
is sure in advance of victory? To Irishmen,
particularly, because of their native COM
paratiye powerlessness to resist alcohol,
because OF the fatal habits into which past
traditions have wrapped them, because
their welfare is near TO my heart, | will
never cease pointing out with an undeviat-
ing finger the harbor of peace aud security.
Believe not that it is q difficult task to
lead men to total abstinence Your records
tell different story. Counting all Catholic
total abstinence societies in America,
whether connected with our union or not,
we have 100, 900 total abstainers. Is this
small number when we know that not very
earnest persistent effort has been made so
far? Remember the magnificent success OF
Father Mathew. See what Cardinal Man
ming and Father Nugent have done in Eng
land. Irishmen are the most docile OF peo-
pie before those who labor for their good;
they understand readily their true welfare,
and with slight encouragement they work
to secure it. Who has ever tried to organize
and maintain total abstinence society
tried earnestly-and failed? Some come
who may again fall away; they will return,
or Others will take their place, but the So
ciety remains. Give me in q parish six
earnest men, priest, and q few laymen,
and total abstinence society is q fact. But
the men must be earnest; that is, they
must labor, and they must practice them
selves total abstinence. Is il too much to
sake of others? The question, think,
should not be put in the Catholic church,
the home of self-saciiice, zeal, and heroic
charity. What do We give up in abandon
ing LIQUOR? The pleasure Of a momentary
excitement. What do we do by the sacri-
fee? We dry the tear Of wretchedness, We
feed the hungry. We raise up our race, we
save souls, We honor religion.
Numbers, however, will remain who will
not take your total abstinence pledge. Have
Won no influence over them? 1t would be
q great mistake to fancy that the total ahsti-
nence movement suppresses intemperance

THE United States Senate will con-
tinue to be closely balanced in the next
Congress, though Senator Davis will not
be present to hold the scales between
the parties. Malone and Riddleberger
may possibly he able to give the Republi-
can party a majority, which it IS certain
that it cannot have without their votes.
1t looks now as though they would have
this power. For all purposes they
should be classed with the Republicans,
as the Democrats have no desire for
their support, even should it be offered
them. We have made a great deal of
political strength by the relegation of all
these political scrubs to the Republican
party. 1t is the load of them and their
misdeeds which carried the party down
in these elections. 1t would not be
profitable to us politically to secure the
control of the Senate by an alliance
with the Malone party. The Senate
committees are in the hands of the Re-
publicans now, as are the House com.
mittees and the government depart
ments. In spite of this the power of the
country is in the hands of the Democ-
racy. The people have put it there, and
the senators cannot change the disposi
tion, however they make up their com
mittees.

An EnrageI Father Assaults Dentist and
Gets SnOt in tho Back.
When Detective Thomas Nj. Fee went
home in Connellsville at noon on Wednes-
day, he found his vile aud daughter, the
latter aged about sixteen years, in tears.
Being pressed for the cause of their grief
the daughter said that DR.. s. D. Wood, a
prominent dentist of the town, with whom
she was having some work done, had made
improper proposals to her in his Office an
hour before. The incensed father caught
up stout hickory cane and started down
to interview tho dentist. Woods was en-
gagged with patient, but came to the
Office door upon the urgent demand of his
irate caller. Fee charged him with hav-
ing insulted his daughter and attacked
him with his caue, striking him repeated
ly over the head, inl;cting several ugly
cuts and bruises. Woods drew small
pocket pistol and fired at his assailant,
the ball penetrating the body to the depth
of an inch and lodging in the back, to the
left at the spine, infiicting painful
though not dangerous wound. Woods
most emphatically denied having made
improper proposals to Miss Fee. He was
arrested, this afternoon, but allowed to
60 free on his own recognizance. The
principals are both we'll known citizens
and the affray caused a great deal Of ex-
citement.
