The society men of our day

for the admiration of those who
have more fancy than brains andg
more vanity than common sense,
This is the. distinction to which
they aspire.
The majority Of these society
men are those whose means are
limited, or clerks who receive a
salary, of fifty or seyenty-fve dol
lars q month and live at the rate
of 5000 or $500, that they may be
considered popular and keep their
position in this so-called "best So

fashion, can be seen in all the
sheen of finest cloth, spend their
leisure hours in the ball room, at
theatres, operas, at the billiard
table and games OF chance, indulge
in cigars and alcoholic poisons
and then appear in the society of
ladies covered with what smacks
Of roue. 1t is a subject of chron-
ic marvel how they manage to
keep soul and obody together. But
society teaches them to let the
wolf gnaw their vitals without say
or sign. 1t is a poor distinction
they enjoy, and not enduring.
They run the round of all posi-
bic excitement, and leave them
selves little but the dregs of the
cup, and they are tasteless if not
bitter. Commend us to those WHO
cultivate their heads and hearts
rather than their toilet graces
those with rural honesty and old
fashioned manners, with that
which shows the stuff that heroes
and practical men are made of.

the tastes and habits of nay grand

NEW YORK, June 29.-While playing
on the dock at the foot of Third street,
on the 18th inst, lad named Charles
Sarling, aged fourteen, who lived at No.
IA First avenue, fell overheard and was
drowned. On Friday last his body was
found and identified. His young school
fellows and companions, knowing his
parents were too poor to give him fit
ting burial, organized themselves into
collection committee and soon realized
sufficient to pay for the funeral, which
occurred yesterday from the home
of his parents. An eyewitness said
the sight was peculiarly impressive.
A beautiful floral pillow made of roses
was placed at the head of rosewood
coffin, on the plate on which was marked
the name of the dead ~, and many
bouquets of flowers arranged around the
room. When the service had been said
and the procession formed, the following
boys, all under twelve years of age,
ranged themselves on each side OF the
hearse as pall-bearers: E. Erdman, w.
Tempe, G. Geller, O. Heintzman, E. Ros-
enberger, Frank Gabiel, H. Gramp, and
F. Fleishman. The procession was
watched by crowds of people, all much

Ex-senator Sharon Scores q Point in His
Case With Sarah-The Backbone of the
Alleged Conspiracy Said to be Broken.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, June 30.-The
Supreme Court of this State yesterday
decided that ex-senator Sharon can ap-
peal from the decision of the Superior
Court, granting Sarah A. Sharon, nee
Hill, divorce with alimony and counsel
fees. The decision stipulates that no
alimony shall be paid pending the filing
of an appeal. Sharon's side is much
elated, and eneral Barnes, chief coun-
sci for Sharon, in an interview with
United Press reporter, says the de cision
virtually disposes of the case, as 1t will
now be tried before another and impair
tial Judge, and be decided on its merits.
According to the wording of the decis-
ion, lawyers say it puts Sarah on the Of
fensive, for if Sharon does not appeal for
a new trial, she will be compelled TO, as
all proceedings are stayed until an appeal
is taken. Under any circumstances it is
now conceded that the backbone OF the
conspiracy is broken, and that it is
Sharon victory complete. Sharon states
that he will bring criminal action against
sarah and her cc-couspirators.
