lions of people, it is estimated that
there are about million of teachers
and nearly seven millions of schel-
ars. The calculation is that in the
United Kingdom the proportion of
teachers to scholars is about one in
nine, and that in America it is about
one in seven. One of the differences
is that so long as Sunday school
teaching is what it Is, and so long
as the tendency is SO strong in favor
of the Sunday school, it is vain to
talk of the danger of board or pub
licsschoel instruction. The schools
need not be irreligieus, but the
churches are quite able to take care

Graham Dowell, prominent col
cred politician Of Springfield, Ohio,
according to a press dispatch, says
that the Democrats of Ohio will
send a colored man as a delegate-at-
large to the National Democratic
Convention. Peter III. Clark, well
known colored politician of Cincin-
natl, will probably be the lucky
man. Chosen as n delegate, Clark
would be likely to prove a powerful
leader among the colored men in
Ohio, it is thought.

HEAVY BANK FAILURE.

/
The Marine Bank of New York
city suspended Tuesday, May 6. A
press dispatch says the bank capital
was 100000, and it's statement of
September %, 1888, showed sur
plus of $4,000 and undivided pro
fits of s62, 345. The suspension Q:
the bank weakened and demoraliz-
ed share speeulations, and large
blocks of long stock were thrown
upon the market, and it is thought
several firms will have to 90 under.
Prices broke at the early board on
Tuesday ! to 81 per cent. In the
afternoon the failure of Grant 4
Ward was formally announced from
the rostrum of the Stock Exchange.
1t was rumOred in connection with
this failure that there had been q
detalcation of half million of dol
lars. This firm is composed cfGen.
Q. S. Grant, J. D. Fish, U. S. Grant,
Jr., and Ferdinand Ward. Their
embarrassment is SAID to be due to
the absence-of one of the firm, who
has not been in his place of business
since Saturday. Gen, Grant said

This was just what he would no
do, but put the cake on the seat be
side him, and getting up, walked
away without word.
Margie knew that he despisec
her, and she had too small an epin-
ion Of herself at the time to force
herself upon him. Besides, there
was the piece of the cake. What
could she do with it? She had no
inclination just then to eat it.
Where could she put it out of sight?
At last, taking it in her hand, she
stole softly to the pig-pen, and that
day the pig had an unusual feast
for dinner. Will never alluded to
the subject again, but Margie felt
sure he thought of it whenever he
looked at her, and that, to her gull
ty conscience, seemed ever often.
Days went by. No company
came, and the cake grew less and
less, until at last there was but a
small piece left Margie was mis-
cradle girl through those weeks,
and began to look really ill.

At last the end came. One eve-

Mr.. Lee said to his wife:

weeks ago, in case of company.
Nobody has come, and you can have
some as well as not. F."
Margie wished the floor would
open, and let her down into the
cellar beneath. She turned first
red, then pale, and pinched her
hands under the table to help con
ceal her agitation.
But this was not a circumstance
to her feelings when Catherine
came in, with very long face, and
the small corner of loaf of cake on
a plate. Then her face grew red as
fire, and she fixed her eyes on her
plate, not daring to look up. There
came a singing in her ears, and she
hoped she was going to die.
"Why, Catherine!" exclaimed
Mrs. Lee.
"Tbis is all there is, ma 'am-ev-
cry bit, she said.
Mrs Lee looked around in speech
less surprise. Her glance fell at
last on Margie. One look was
enough.
"You can go upstairs" she said.
Margie did not wait to be told
twice, but fed to her room. She
had very unpleasant visit from
her father before she went to bed
that night. Ha said it was quite
as painful to himself as to her, but
she had her doubts upon the sub
ject. At all events, she was quite
grown up before she cared for fruit
cake again.-Anna ~ Talcott, an

FREE MASONRY AND THE POPE.
PASTOR WHITE SAYS THE LATTER is
THE REPOSITORY OF THE WORLDS
SECRETS


The Rev. J. J. White, pastor of
the Fourth Street Methodist Pret-
estant Church, williamsburg, says
the New York San, preached on
the 4th about the Pcpe's letter
against Free Masonry.
"He has written" he said, "te all
his Bishops asking them to appeal
to the Blessed Virgin for help in
their fight against this order. Let
me appeal to her to come with me
to the deathbed, to every place
where there is q sufferer, yes, 10
come with me even to the grave,
and look upon the work which Ma
sonry performs for poor humanity.
Let her come with me to the Wild
ows' and Orphans Home, and then
tell me whether she of the kind
heart will give help to her son Leo
to put down this great organization2
"Let her come into the lodge
room, and then let her say whether
she will assist Leo and his Bishops
in disrupting the society which is
based on the Word of God, and
which holds tenaciously to the
teachings of the Son.
No, the organization will not be
put down. Leo breads it because
he fears that he is losing his hold
on the people, and that the pewer
of holding the secrets of the fami-
lies of the world is slipping from
him. No secret is a secret to him.
Through his priests and Bishops be
is the worlds repository of secrets.
Free Masonry is one of the forces
at work to deprive him of the pow
er based on the possession of these
secrets"

ALMOST RAISED FROM 2RE DEAD

ALMOST RAISED FROM TIE DEAD
Thomas Johnson writes us that
recent exposure gave him terrible
cold; the cold, bad cough and the
cough gave him what his friends
thought to be consumption. He
was induced to buy bottle of Sym
phyx, keeping his bowels open with
DIR. Hart's Blood and Liver Pills.
He says in two weeks he was near
ly as well as ever, and that he con-
siders himself as almost raised from
the dead.

The recent marriage at Darn
stadt, writes the London cerrespen-
dent of the New York Tribune, has
started crop of rumors, the most
important of which lisa unconfrm-
ed report that the Grand Duke Lou
is ". of Hesse is about to contract
a morganatic marriage. Louis ~.
is torty-seven years old; is the faith
er of Princess Victoria who was
married on the Both inst. to Prince
Louis of Battenburg, and has been
a widower since the death of Prin-
cess Alice, the second daughter of
Queen Victoria, in 1873. The ru-
NOR is generally discredited in Lon
don, where it is known that he has
made formal proposal for the hand
of Princess Beatrice, the Queens
only unmarried daughter. 1t is al
SO stated on good authority that this
proposal has been accepted by the
Queen and Princess Beatrice, sub
ject to the passage by Parliament OF
the bill legalizing marriages be-
tween widowers and their deceased
wives sisters. A strong color of
probability is given to this statement
by the fact that the Queens infu-
enee has been steadily exerted in
this measure and that it has always
received the vetes of all the royal
princess in the House of Lords. A
cablegram to the New York Herald
dated Berlin, May 5, says that Louis
". consummated his left handed
marriage with the Countess Alex
andrine Czapski, daughter of a
Russian chamberlain, on April 80,
after the ritual marriage of his
daughter, the Princess Victoria,
with Prince Louis of Battenburg.
This morganatic marriage has caus-
ed the greatest excitement in the
palace of the Crown Prince and in
the castles of the British royal fam

"Do you love me as dearly as
men have ever loved woman ?" said
Mabel, finding an easy anchorage
for her cheek about the latitude of
his upper vest pocket and the longi
tude Of the left suspender.
"More," said George, with wan
ing. enthusiasm, for this was about
the 214th encore to which he had
responded since s o'clock. "More,
far more dearly. Oh, eve" SO much
more.
"Would you," she went on, and
there was tremulous impressive
ness in her voice that warned the
young man that the star was going
to leave her lines and spring some
thing new on the house! "would you
be willing to work and wait for me,
as Rachel waited at the well, seven
long years?"
"Seven!l" he cried, in a burst OF
genuine devotion "Seyen! Aye,
gladlyl Yes and morel Even until
seventy times sevenl Let's make
1t seventy, anyhow, and prove my
devotion!''
Somehow or other he was alone
when he left the parlor a few min
utes later, and it looks now as
thongh he would have to wait
about 700 years before he saves fuel
by toasting his shins at the low

settled in 1920 in Frederick county,
Md, where he acquired considerable

was subsequently built. These sew

sixty-two to seventy-six years and
upward, met all together for the
first time in fifty years at Cincin-

Jane was no longer in her first youth,
but she was yet very pleasant to look

Madonna type, with large brown eyes

hair that lay soft and smooth upon her
temples in the sweet old-fashioned way,
when bangs and crinkles were unknown.
But, my! how her whole aspect changed

flashed, her cheeks were ahame. and
her hair crinklcd up with volcanic We
