On Letting Off the Steam.

There are more interesting cases by far In
which excitable persons, knowing their own
weakness, have provided themselves with some
mode OF exercise on purpose to divert their eX-
element from hurtful to an innocent chanel.
An instance OF this (remarks Professor Blackie
in CdsselFs Mdgazine) We find in the life o. Ober-
lin, pastor OF Ban de la Roche i'm the High Alps,
n the south of France. Oberlin was one of the
best Of men, and endeared himself to his people
almost beyond example. Besides being an
earnest pastor, he was q maker OF roads, a
builder OF bridges, a reformer and philanthro-
pist generally who transformed his parish from
a chaos Of desolation into beautiful abode of
Christianity, civilization, and comfort. Ii was
not to be wondered at that man with SO many
irons in the fire should be somewhat impatient
and have little trouble with his temper. At
such times Oberiin used to run backward and
forward in his room, beating his hands together
rapidly with q resounding noise, until his tenn
per regained composure. Those who are familiar
with the history of the Brontes will remember
what is told Of their father, the eccentric and
excitable incumbent OF Haworth. Even during
his wife's lifetime he formed the habit Of taking
his meals alone; he constantly carried loaded
pistols in his pockets and when excited would
fire these at the door Of the outhouses so that
the villagers were quite accustomed TO the sound
Of pistols at any hour OF the day in their pastors
house. If we are not mistaken, he had another
outlet for his emotion, setting up bolster ana
boxing it when he was angry; but of this We are
not SO sure.

Big Fortunes in Philadelphia.

City Letter in Germantown Telegraph
My attention has been called to a statement
recently published in one of the Sunday papers
purpOrting to be list of the milionares of Phil
adelphIa. in which no fortune is set down at
more than S2,0OO,O 600, while the most of them
are below that sum. Such lists as this are mere
guess work, and show in striking manner the
peculiar contrast between the spirit Of journal
ism and social life i'm the two cities of New York
and Philadelphia. In New York the universal
tendency is to eXaggerate the magnitude OF pri-
vate fortunes. the amount of business. the cost
of public works the value of property etc:
while on the other hand. IN Philadelphia, the
prevalent spirit is exactly the reverse of this.
Here it is customary to bettle the private for
tunes OF our leading citizens. to depreciate the
volume of trade. the value of property. and gen.
orally grumble and growl about everything and
everybody. The estate of the late Thomas II.
Powers was valued at 5000 coo. and fhe sur
viv!ng partner, VIM. S. Weightman. is worth
from S10.OO0.0C0 to 1900 coo. The estate of
the late Thos. A. Scott was worth at least Sl0.-
C0O.0o0 The estate OF the late Jos. Harrison
was estimated by himself during his lifetime at
$1,000. OGO The estate of Richard d. Wood was
worth at his death 81, OO00 and is now much
larger. The two brothers DreXel are each worth
at least 800, GOO, coo; and these are only few
OF the large estates owned In Philadelphia. Our
manufacturers include many large millionaires.

The New Style Bathing Suits.

From the Philadelphia Call
Alphonso Slipping into Sans room from his
own at the Ocean Breeze hotel)-Pretty good
fit isn't it.?
Sam-Considering that it is skin tight, 1
should say it was. But what do you want of
underclothing made of black knit goods this hot
weather?
'Underclothing! Why this is the new style
bathing suit. Don't know why they make 'em
black, for 1t must look funny to see a man white
down to his neck and up to his knees, and black
the rest Of the way; but being elastic and skin
tight. as you see, they are grand things to battle
in"
"See here, Alrhonso, do you mean to say
that you intend to appear in public in that
thng?"
"Why, Of course, Sam; all the young fellows
have them. I'm ready now. Come on down to
the beach. Wish you had a suit like this to
keep me company"

''Your clothes Off"

The bannstArMons. Electric Ltsh, wires.


Enough mischief, slight as il all appears. was
done by electric light wires last night to con-
firm the statement that the presence above
ground Of apparatus for the conveyance Of cleo
trio fluid is dangerous and to emphasize the de-
mand that such apparatus be buried. II was
only because a number of clerks were at work
In the Lawrence building that the fire last night
was discovered and extinguished in time to pre-
vent serious injury to property. Otherwise, as
it started in a well at the rear of the building
an entire story might have been in flames before
discovery from the street would have been pos
sible. The cause was the crossing Of electric
light wires. and the same cause operated In two
other instances at about the same moment on
kiby street and on the premises of the Maver-
ick National bank. AS II happened, there was
timely discovery in each of these two cases as
well as in the affair on Water street But
how If there had not been? The electric
light companies must at least admit that fire
from their wires is possible. Not except some
thing unforeseen happens to the wires. may be
their proviso. But are they ready to agree to
Indemnify anybody in case of less shown to be
occasioncd by their wires? If the insurance
companies shall agree to charge extra rates on
buildings, in front of or over which wires are
strung, as has been intmated long step will
have been taken toward an abatement of the
nuisance.

A Wolf Instead Of an Elephant.

From the Detroit Free Press
About this time the man who had been asleep
in the corner rubbed his eyes, yawned and
finally walked up to the bar and grOwled:
81 want it straight, and don't wait all day,
either!
'No trust" said the little man In his shirt
sleeves.
"Gimme that whiskyl''
"Put down your CASH.
"See here" said the man on the outside of
the bar. ''you don't know me. used to be a
man, but died. had my choice as to what
form should take and decided to become q
wolf. Here am, teeth and claws sharpened
up for work. and l thirst for gore! Gimme
that whisky or I'll let myself loose on yer trail
and howl for blood.'
When the little man had hit him on the nose
and in the eye and on the forehead and on the
chin. and when the wolf had been mopped
around and dragged out and kicked around
the corner some one asked him what the row
was.
"Well, I made mistake" he replied
"Howi"
"Why. when I died / chose to become wolf
Why i'm Halifax didn't tell 'em l wanted to be
an elephant instead? 'Twouldn't have cost a
cent more. and no man weighing ninety pounds
could have turned me wrong side out in this

well-known curate in northeastern section

somewhat startled, did not loose his presence Of

endeavored to persuade the fair intruder to

Fr ON the Detroit Free Press
man about So years of age galloped down
the stone steps leading to the Western Union
telegraph office yesterday, and rushed at the
receiving clerk with the inquiry:
"Can express my feelings In a telegram"
"DO you mean that you like profane Ian

Il do want to use some of the tallest kind
of it,"
"We can't send anything of that sort There
are no letters in the Morse alphabet to stand for
swear words"
'Well. then, I'll have TO let it GO but wanted
to telegraph to my brother that I'd been robbed
put my satchel down to fight with a hackman,
and some one stole it."
He went away growing and muttering. but in
about an hour he returned in still hotter haste
and exclaimed:
Now Eve been robbed Of my coat and go in
cash, and I've got to swear by telegraph or bust.
Hung my coat on a telegraph pole while was
trying to outjump fellow, and some one COB
bled it,"
'As told you before, we don't transmit any
profane language" replied the clerk. You can
notify your brother that you have had bad luck"
And not express my feelings! Neverl He
wouldn't believe it was me. Make an exception
tor me. can't yOu!"
The clerk couldn't. and the man said he would
do his swearing by letter, and make it heavy
enough for double postage. 1t wasn't halt an
hour. however. before he rcappeared and
this time he couldn't stand still as he shouted
out:
