A shrewd Wig Wearer.

Philadeldhia Bulletin.
The cleverest man heard of for some
time is he who, becoming bald, had four
wigs made, the hair Of one short, the hair
Of the next trifle longer, the hair Of the
third longer still, and the hair of the
fourth quite too long for beauty. He
wears each week, beginning with the
former. The effect achieved is the same
as though his hair was growing. When
he gets to the long one, and has worn it
a week, he changes to the short one
again, and his friends and acquaintanre res
not in the secret believe he has visited a
b3rber's

A curious and patient individual has
worked for an indefinite period on the

against a heavy rain and some wind, will

slow? If 1 move rapidly certainly en-
counter more drops in given space, but

could make the journey, say quarter
of a mile, in one second, would have to
encounter all the rain between the two
points. Would I encounter any more if
l walked leisurely over the ground?

Several years ago a machinist in a
railroad shop at Wellsville, o., invented
a nut lock, for which, at that time, there
was a great demand. His was an excel
lent device, and he saw in it great for
tune. He had no confidence in corpora
tions. and refused to sell his patent to
one of the leading companies for $4,000
cash. He looked upon every man who
spoke to him about it as an enemy, and
cut the acquaintance of his friends who
advised him to sell. He has the patent
yet, and VIII cheerfully take So for it.

takes his tub every morning, that which
along with its vouthfulness enables him
to dispense with top-coats. He writes no
more; there is no more fruit on the old
tree. He rides no more on the tops of
omnibuses; he confines himself to tram
cars. He has the teeth of a wolf and

hairs on his head as when he was one
and twenty, only they are white. On
welcoming lady he always kisses the
tips of her fingers, and at the table gives
all places of honor to his guests"

Prohibition No Failure in Iowa.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journals:
Iprotest against your laying the failure of the
socalled Iowa prohibitory law at the door of pro-
hibition. 1t is not prohibitory law, and never
professed to be; it is simply hlicense local
option law-an unsatisfactory hybrid. Nobody
likes it. The liquor sellers dislike it, because in
half the State it closes them out entirely, while
the temperance men dislike it because it does not
give them even half chance on the license
local-option feature The liquor sellers testify
to its general efficiency by their clamor for its re-
peal, while they testify to its inefficiency by
boasting that it does not prohibit. Never mind
The direct VOTE few years ago. showed a
majority of 10000 in favor of prohibition,
and they will find way to frame their will int
law. The Republicans made the canvass this
year on a pledge to amend the law in its weak
places; hence, 149 out of every 100 of the Prohi-
bitionists voted the Republican ticket the party
prohibition vote being only LAOS in vote of
345. 736-only one for every $50 that voted prohi-
bition few years ago. Iowa will have prohibi-
ton. and if the present law is insufficient as it
evidently u.s. they will make one that will do the
work. Meanwhile, let no advocate of high
license and local option prove that the Iowa law
is a failure, for that is all there is in it.

RAISING THE MISSION CROSS.
Close Of the Mission Ceremonies Last Night
by the Redemptorist Fathers.

The mission which for the past ten days,
under the Redemptorist Fathers, Revs Cook and
Mclaughlin, has been in progress at st. Josephs
Church, closed Last night with raising the mis-
sion cross. There were more than thousand
persons present, and the ceremonies were beau
tful and impressive. The large cross, bearing
the figure of the Savior was borne from the hall
of the church to the altar, entering at the front
door. The procession was headed by six AGO.
lytes, who were followed by fifty men bearing
lighted candles, after whom came the six trus-
tees of the church bearing the cross. the process
sion ending with priests in solemn chant. The
cross was erected to the right of the left of the
pulpit behind pyramid of flowers and lighted
candles
The Redemptorists are a religious order
founded by Alphonso Maria de Liguori, in the
city of Scala. in 1882 and they secured the ap-
prevail of Pope Benedict XIV in 1749. Besides
the usual monastic VOWS, they bind themselves
to labor for the propagation of the Catholic faith
and have for their principal system of action
the conducting of MISSIONS which last from one
week to one month, during which time the mis-
sionaries endeavor 10 prevail upon all the mem
bers of a church for thorough reformation of
their lives. The founder of the order belonged
to noble family. He was appointed bishop
in 1852, and his life as bishop is confessed by
Protestant, as we'll as Catholic historians to
have been a model of the pastoral character;
but shrinking from the responsibilities of such
an Office, he resigned his see in ITS, after
which date he returned to his order and contn-
ued to live in the same simple austerity which
had characterized his early life He died in
1887. ard was solemnly canonized in 1880 He
was one of the most voluminous and popular
of modern Catholic theological writer's his
works extending to over ten volumes.
Father Mclaughlin, on entering the pulpit,
read from a large framed card list of the in
dulgences granted by Plus TX to those who make
| certain prayers on set occasions. The list of in
dugences is to be placed at the foot of the cross
that those who hold communion in the church
may know them. He then recited the five great
sacrifices of the Savior: ~, He sweats blood for
the sins of the world (2l, He is scourged at the
pillar; ~. He is crowned with thorns az, He
carries His heavy cross to Calvary; %, He dies
upon the cross.
The sermon was upon the significance of the
cross and how its blessing followed the Catholic
through lfe from the christening of the child,
until, when upon the bed of death, it guides the
passing soul to heaven.
During the delivery of Father Mclaughlin
Father Cook was in the confessional. minstering
to those who came to him, sin-laden, receiving
their confessions. 1t announced that, after
the benedction, the fathers would remain a

Good Results Would Follow.

N. E. Ingalls,, president of the c., l., st. L. &
c., has gone to New York to again confer as to
pool matters. There are seven or eight roads
whose lines are embraced in the States of Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois which, without being trunk
lines in the sense of great through lines from the
West to the Atlantic seaboard are still of almost
equal importance as feeders to the seaboard
trunk lines, and equally TO the great lines lead
ing to the far West and Northwest and the Pa
cific coast. These seven or eight roads intersect
each other at great number of points in the
States mentioned, and together they cover the
territory which embraces the center of popula-
ton in the United States, and from which a
great traffic radates in every direction and,
unquestionably, the time is coming when all will
be valuable properties. Their securities have
been depressed, not only by the general depres-
sion of business in the two or three years up to
this autumn, but more by their own wrangling
and competition. That it would be wise for
these lines to enter into an agreement similar in
character to that of the Chicago and Ohio River
pool will not be questioned While it would in
sure better maintenance of rates, the roads
could be operated at a considerably less cost. AT
least traffic agreement should be entered into
by the roads alluded to which will cover all
points where severe competition exists

The following is an exact copy of the repor
made by an engineer to the traffic manager @
the New Jersey division of the Pennsylvania
railroad:
Now, Mr.. Sanford you wish me to state
The cause of detention to five sixty-eght
The wind was high and the steam was low,
And the train behind was a heavy tow
The coal was poor and wouldn't burn,
The steam was gone and wouldn't return,
And so we stopped upon the hill,
Aud the angels whispered, Peace; be STILL"
The steam was exhausted, the engine, too
And so we cut the train in two.
And that's the way we got it down
To the far-famed city of Bordentown.
Now, Mr.. Sanford, don't feel cross
But show this report to Mr., Moss
And he (if he chooses) to Mr.. Waite,
And lay all the blame to five sixty eight.

Like coach without team,
