CHURCH fair has been interrupted in a very
unhecoming manner at New Haven, Conn The
Rev. Charles q. Siebke, of the German Lutheran
Trinity Church, with an eye to the main chance,
proposed to introduce some harmless innova
lions, such as a bar with beer and whisky, lot
teries with all sorts of prizes, and a see-sawing
orchestra, and giddy, WALKING women to catch
the half dollars OF the throng at their church
fairs. A few hypercritical members
objected to these. and there was
split, the disaffected going off
and starting a new church organization. The
New York Consistory, of which the church is a
member, threaten to dismiss the offending church
from the general assembly. Four of the recall
citrant members have been expelled from Mr..
Siebke's Sunday -school. The item reads more
like an episode in Texas than in the Land of
Steady Habits.

John Burroughs on the Apple.

The apple is, indeed, the fruit or youth. AS
we grow old we crave apples less. 1t is an ON
nous sign When you are ashamed to be seen
eating them on the street; when you can carry
them in your pocket, and your hand not con-
stantly find its way to them; when your neigh
Dor has apples and You have none, and you make
no nocturnal visits to his orchard; when your
lunchbasket is without them, and you can pass
winters night by the fire with no thought of
the fruit at your elbow, then be assured you are
no longer boy, either in heart or in years.

George Eliot on the Cultured Woman

George Eliot on the Cultured Woman.
"a really cultured woman, like a really Gull
tured man, is all the simpler and the less obtru-
sive for her knowledge; it has made her see her.
self and her opinions in something like just
proportions. She does not make it pedestal
from which she fiat tiers herself that she COM
mands complete view of men and things, but
makes it point of observation from which to
form a right estimate of herself. She neither
spouts poetry nor quotes Cicero on slight provo
cation; not because she thinks that
sacrifice must be made to the
prejudices of men, but because that mode
of exhibiting her memory and LatinitY does not
present Itself TO her edifying graceful, She
does not write books to confound philosophers,
perhaps because she is able to write books that
delight them. In conversation she is the least
formidable of women, because she understands
you, without wanting to make you aware that
you can't understand her. She does not give
you information, which is the raw material of
culture-she gives you sympathy, which Is its
su6tlest essence"

THE beginning of the quarrel between ern-
hardt and Colombier which resulted in the pub
hcation ofSarah Barnum and the horsewhpping
OF the offending author, is said to have been in
Cincinnati. when the two actresses were there,
during Mile. Bernhardt's tour in the United
States. Sandau was the correspondent of the
Gaulois, sent to chronicle Bernhardt's
movements, while Colomb1er the
leading lady of the supporting troupe.
Sudden johnny" was the name given to the
man OF letters. whose business it also was to act
down her notes and observations of the country
through which she was being hurled in palace
car at forty miles au hour NJ. Sandau and
Colombier both concluded that insufficient at
tentton was being paid the merits of that emil
nent artistic, and they both privately consoled
and condoled with each other and abused the
star. At the Burnet House, Cincinnati, there
was one grand explosion, Mile. Bernhardt speak
ing plainly to the effect that there was alto
gether too close an intimacy between her lead
ing lady and her Sudden Johnny" To get even
with Bernhardt, the two cOncoeted a satirical
volume upon Bernhardt's tour, which was pub
llshed, and made the second act in the drama.
Finding that this book did not fully settle the
score, ''Sara Barnum" was written and printed,
with the effect asindicated by the late cablegrams
from Paris. There is something very rare and
Colombier over womanly purity. 1t shows the
farreaching possibilities of the FreLch charac-
ter.

MRS. sCHocK, of Chicago, is a nice motherly
woman, who has been employed by various
alleged humane socities to take care of little
children who had no homes. Mrs. Schock had a
home, humble, it is true, and in a basement; but
she welcomed the little waits and did for them.
The good woman kept a COW because. as she
told the kind ladies of the charitable societies,
children must have milk. She neglected to
mention that she stabbed the cow in the same
room where the children stayed, and,
also, forgot to state that the milk
was drunk by little in the
neighborhood whose parents paid for it, and that
none was left for her own charges. These she
fed on mush three times a day, with an occa-
sional change of fare in the shape of potatoes,
without salt or other accompaniment. Com
plants made by neighbors finally reached the
societies, and an investigation made into
the methods of Mrs Schock, with result which
was shock to the managers, who supposed
their wards were being rocked in the lap of com
fort, if not of luxury. The unfortunate infants
were rescued before they were entirely starved
to death, and the motherly guardian now Ian
cuisines in jail.

MARY ANDERSON acknowledges that she is
poweriess to prevent the sale OF her photographs
in London She says: "What am L to doa come
down to breakfast and find beautiful bouquet
waiting for me. By lis side lies dainty little
note from an enterprislng photographer, which
reads thus: 'Madam-Every day we have endless
inquiries for your photograph. We have, of
course, to send our customers away without be-
ing able TO satisfy their demands. Could you sit
to our artists We should be very grateful to
you, etc. and it generally ends in my COM
pliance." When Miss Anderson goes to the
photographers for q sitting, she does it by
wholesale. She is taken in a dozen positions at
once That is to say, she has the operators ar
range a dozen cameras and operators in almost
a semi-circle, and then she sits down stands in
the center, and is photographed from dozen
different points of view simuIan eously. But
when particularly elaborate work is to be done,
she makes the photographer bring his appara-
tus to her own drawing room, aud take her pic
ture there.

In the death of DR.. L. A. Afford Indiana and
the city of Logansport have lost an eminent
man, better known elsewhere, probably, than in
his own home and State. He was born in YER
mont in the year 1914, and removed to Logans-
port in 1864, where he resided, except for a
short time, until his death. He was a Baptist
minister in Michigan, indiana and other Western
States, but his chief labor was as a man of let
tiers, being the author of a number of volumes,
highly regarded, both in this and other coun-
tries. He received a degree and gold medal
FROM the Society of English Sci
ence, Letters and Arts, and his re-
searches were known and recognized in London,
Edinburgh Leipsc, and in India. The Logans-
port Journal says: SIN person, Dr. Afford was
of commanding appearance, with large we'll
developed brain and frame. With all his
strength, in his manners he was modest as a
girl, and in his seEsibllities tender child.
The common observer who might meet him in
the ordinary walks of life would not dream of
the character of the man he was beholdiUg."

Imitation Baking Powders.

To THE PUBLIC:
The public is cautioned against the practice
of many grocers who sell what they claim to
be Royal Baking Powder. loose or in bulk,
without label or trademark, All such pow
ders are base limitations. Analysis of bun.
dreds ofsamples of baking powders sold in

with alum, dangerous for use in TODD, and
comparatively valueless for leavening pur-
poses.
The public is too well aware of the injuri-
Gus effect of alum upon the system, to need
further caution against the use of any baking
powders known to be made from this drug;
but the dealers assurance, "Oh, it's Just as
good as Royal, only we buy it by the barrel
to save expense ofcan," ETC., is apt to mislead
the unsuspecting consumers into buying an
article which they would not knowingly use
IN their food under any consideration. The
only safety from such practices is in buying
baking powder only in the original package
OF weii-known brand, and thoroughly es-
tablished reputation.
The Royal Baking Powder is sold only in
cans, securely closed with the Companys
trade mark label, and the weight of pack
eye stamped on each cover. It is never
sold in bulk, by the barrel, or loose by
weight or measure, and all such offered the
public under any pretense, are limitations.
II customers will bear these facts in mind,
and also see that the package purchased is
properly labeled, and the label unbroken,
they will be always sure Of using q baking
powder perfectly pure and wholesome, and of
the highest test strength in the market.

Death ola Noted Irish Archbishop,

Death OF "A Noted Irish Archbishop.
The London Times publishes report that
Al chbishop McCabe of Dublin Is dead and
in leader deplores his death. It says the
cause of order and loyalty in ireland has
lost an unflinching supporter.
Archbishop McCabe was but recently
made cardinal by Pope Leo XIII. He
was born in Dublin AMI Vas educated al
Maynooth college. He early gained the no.
tfce and confidence of the late cardinal,
Archbishop Cullen, whom he assisted, first
as secretary, afterwards as member of the
chapter of Dublin, and AZ one of the vicar
generals. When, in 1877 Cardinal Cullen
was suddenly stricken with illness, he con-
se,ted to The appointment of an assista mt
and named DR.. McCabe, who had been made
a prelste with the title ofmonsignof. From
that time-forward the latter took the chief
part in the direction of university colleges,
charitable institutions and pa1ochtal mat
tiers, and thus came in contac. with the
clergy of the diocese andshe religious orders.
On the death of Cardinal Cullen the ad-
ministratfon of the archdiocese fell into the
hands of Bishop McCabe, pending the Cleo
ton of a successor to the arch5ishopric. In
1879 be was formally enthroned in the arch
episcopal chair. Early in his career as
archbishop the land league was formed,
and he took strong ground against it, pub
fishing two pastorals warning his people
against the principles of the league. But
his chief utterances have been on education
al questions, claiming for Catholics a share
proportionate to other members in the Irish
educational endowments. He was mem.
Der of the senate of the royal university of
Ireland, and took constant share in its de-
lberations.
