There We're merchants doug business

dwindled to 5000. Ahe banks have re-

Nothing can be sold that will cost lite

The carse OF this decadence, which

II numerous experiments which, it

Sketch of sojourner Truth.

The parents OF Sojourner Truth were
brought in a SLAYER from the coast of
Guinea to this country. Her real name
-or that which had been given to her
by her first master-was Isabella Har-
denburg, but, becoming dissatisfied
with it, it is said that she went out into
the wilderness and prayed to the Lord
to give her an appropriate name. After
praying for some time she heard, she

down." and afterward s'Truth" was
added to it to signify that she should
preach nothing but the truth to all men,
S%ojourner had 9 tall, masculine .lookiug
%6gure--she was almost six feet high
and talked in q deep, g%utteral, powerful
voice that made many people who heard
her think that she was q man, and was
imposing upon them by masquerade as
q woman. On her lecturing tours
she took with her
her grandson. who attended to her bus
mess affairs. Sojourner knew many
prominent men-her favorite statesman
being Abraham Lincoln-and her nara
lives and descriptions of those whom
she had known showed that she had

Well, she had her child.
And to the child her thoughts turned,
ana to 1t her prayers assembled as-the
fire grew dull and the hour late-she
folded aside her work and sought her
couch, there to clasp the tiny form
to her heart and find forgetfulness in
sleep.
Blessed sleep, in which the tired heart
and the tired body alike find rest and
renewal of strength. And while the
mother and child slept on. the last faint
glow of the embers fell upon the little
stocking, swelling with it's riches. And

committee of five was appointed by the
house to examine the hooks of the treasurer
and financial secretary.
The report of the treasurer was read and
referred to the committee on examing the
books OF the treasurer
Secretary Spaunhorst briefly explained the
objects of the society and its present condi-
ton. During the course of his remarks he
said that he regretted the fact that its mem
bership was not larger. He claimed the
officers had done their full duty, and must
now call upon the members to assist
them. When the membership was
larger, he said, the benefits paid
on the death of member could be increased
to 81, 900, without increasing the assessment,
which was at present very small. To this
end he offered a few suggestions, which
drew out lengthy discussion upon the
merits of the plan suggested and of others
presented by delegates, majority thinking
it would be of great benefit if the president
Of the Central society would make speeches
in the large Cities explaining to the Catholic
societies the objects of the fund, and the
benefits secured by becoming member of
the society. Secretary Spaunhorst closed
the discussion with lengthy speech, being
frequently interrupted by applause.

board of trustees power to employ Secretary

visit the societies in the interest of the fluid.
On motion the president was empowered
to appoint committee oil five, to whom the
above should be referred.

THEY CAN'T HELP IT.
She Has the Alcoholic Habit and He
Is Subject to Fits.

You may sing of the wine and its ripe, red
glow,
And of high toned intentions, white as snow,
But the bed rock fact of it, wiley nlly
Is the glass too much that knocks you silly
After the bard of the bull pen had been
sentenced to ninety days with the hose
turned on him for perpetrating the above,
hizzoner proceeded to call the turn on the
docket.
a case in point, or one which might serve
to point moral or adorn tale was that of
Mrs. Shamhaugh, whose misery was brought
aboutby taking glass too much. She was
dressed in deep mourning, and concealed a
rather delicate face behind a heavy vail.
The charge was drunkenness and
disorderly conduct, and it transpired
that she had been noisy and abusive in front
OF Brady saloon in the Sixth ward. She
related rather strange story saying that q
short time ago Brady had locked her in
room in the rear part of his saloon and kept
her there until O'Clock in the morning.
She admitted having taken glass too much,
and said that she felt so aggrieved at the
conduct of Brady she had no control over
her temper On being questioned she said
that Brady had locked her and another girl
up in the room, and that she didn't know
what had taken place, for the rea-
son that she had been drug
ged. She admitted that she was
in the habit of taking her bitters right along,
and in view of all things the court gave her
some excellent advice and let her go.
The case of John Pitts is also very sad
one. He is subject to fits and on this ac-
count it is impossible for him to keep en-
ployment. He was charged with vagrancy
and he explained to the court that while he
could readily obtain work he was invariably
discharged as soon as overtaken by fit. The
poor fellow was copmitted for ninety DAYS
Tor charity's sake.
Henry Knuppel was up again on
the charge of disorderly conduct
His wife made the complaint and testified
that he was nothing but weight and an in
cumhrance to her. The other day he broke
the plates and windows, and besides this he
has recently tried to dispose of their home
stead, wanting no doubt to blow the proceeds
i'll for booze. He was sent to the bastile for
thirty days and put under $3.50 bonds to
keep the peace.
John Anderson, my Joe John, was fined
five bills for having been paralyzed, and the
case of VIM. Pleiss, charged with skinning a
sucker out OF SIS, was again continued until
to-day.
