The Haniks Iron Fence Company received
this morning letter from their agent ct
Nashville, Tennessee, informing them that q
carload, about $50 feet, of iron fencing,
shipped from here and which arrived in
Nashville Saturday forenoon, had been de-
stroyed by the burning OF the Louisville and
Nashville freight warehouse late Saturday
night. One report put the loss to the COM
pany on the fencing at 81, 500, but members
Of the firm say it will not be 80 much. What
ever it is the fence company will sustain en-
tire, as there was no insurance, and the rail-
road folks will not likely be too ready to
make good losses by the fire to shippers.

Editor Herald.
The election in Ohio aroused but little
interest here. | was surprised to find
less than half the usual crowd on the
night of the election around the bulletin
boards. There was but little excite
ment, and the anxious face of the
government clerk was not to be seen.
The Republican party seems to be
surprised and glad that it is alive. As
for the Democrats, they hold that it
was simply natural that Ohio should go
Republican it was and is Republican
State, and the political predictions of
the people are paramount, and cannot
be changed permanently by tidal waves
or trickery. The President has nothing
to say in reference to the result, and
those who expected an expression of
opinion were disappointed. OF the
prominent Democrats all advanced
some reason for the defeat, and Senator
Eustis is quoted as having said to a
friend that he regarded the result as IA
rebuke for the President.

The Well-Dressed Woman.


The well-dressed woman knows not
only what to wear, but when to wear
il. In the summer forenoon you will
see her in the simplest of eottons, a
dress absolutely plain and without
ornament, without laces. fringes, dec
OratiOns of any kind. In the winter at
the same time of day she is plainly
dressed in cloth. Later i'm the Gay she
changes to smarter clothes for more
ceremOniOus duties-vi visits, afternoon
parties and teas -velvets and silks
combined in winter, in summer rich
gauzes and costly lsces. In the evening,
for dinner or ball, the most choice and
splendid masterpieces of the dress/
makers art are reserved, the richest
stuff set off with the most elaborate EN-
broideries and the rarest jewels. But,
withal, even in this, the last gorgeous
stage into which the modern ehrysalis
has developed, ostentatious display is
scrupulOusly avoided.

America Ahead.

George Alfred Townsend.l
think there are not more than three
nations on the earth which can compete
with the Americans in the manufac-
turing spirit-Germany, considered as II
whole, Great Britain, France. These
seem tn me To be our own equals. There
il hardly anything to be made which the
Americans do not make. Many things
they make better and cheaper than else
where on the globe. You take all the
components of a house, and a house is
much of life, and the Americans can
probably build Il cheaper house than
any existing nation. They can also
furnish that house cheaper than any
other. They can probably dress IA man
and woman as cheap rs any nation but
one or two. and | fancy that if they
were hard put to the test they could
dress people cheaper than any other
country, though in some points of man.

John McCloskey. First American
Member of the Sacred
Collepe


Cardinal Archbishop McCloskey died
at New York, in the early morning Of
October 10, 1885, of exhaustion. The
weary wheels of life stood still, because
the prelate had used up his resources of
vitality. From early boyhood he was
hard worker, but accomplished the
toll of a prolonged life before lying
down 10 rest. His death is lamented
not only by the clergy and laity of his
his own church, but by the community
generally. On the Sunday succeeding
il, many Protestant ministers took oc-
casion in their public discourses to
praise the dead Cardinal.
John McCloskey was born at Brook
lyn. New York, of Irish parents, in the
yesr 1910, March 10. His temperament
and disposition as a ch lid marked him
out for studious and religious life. He
usually stood at the head of his class
while pupil in an elementary school.
In the year ls2l he left home to pursue
the higher studies, and by the time
when he was ordained for the priests
hood, had spent thirteen years at col.
lege and the theological seminary, in
cluding both. Mount st. Mary's Col
lege, Wilmington, and the Catholic
Seminary, Emmettsburg, are the insti>
tutions at which he received his higher
education. He was ordained a priest
January -, 1884. From 1885 to 1887 he
attended lectures in the Georgian Uni.
versity, Rome. Before returning to the
United States he spent a year in France
His first pastoral charge was as assist
ant priest at st. Joseph's Church, New
York City. He was made rector of the
same church six months after receiv-
ing his earliest appointment. In lsil
Bishop Hughes nominated him first
president of st. Johns College, Ford
ham, New York, but, preferring the
pastoral relation, in 1912 he returned TO
st. Joseph's. On November 81, 1913,
he was made cladjutor of Bishop
Hughes. About four months after he
was consecrated as such with the title
of Bishop of Axiere. When, in lS47,
the diocese of New York was divided,
he was made first Bishop of Albany,
and so continued until 1864, when, af-
ter the death of Archbishop Hughes, he
was promoted TO the vacant dignity
thus occasiOned. His death gives the
archepiscopal position designated to the
Right Reverend Michael A. Corrigan,
who has been his coadjutor for several
years. On March Is, 1875, Archbishop
McCloskey was made member of the
Sacred College. The appointment of a
successor to him as Cardinal rests with
the Pope.

The Greatest Diamond In the World

Manufacturing Jeweler.
Our Amsterdam correspondent tells
the story of the immense African dia-
mOnd weighing four hundred and
fifty-seven carats in the rough-which
is i'm process Of being cut by Mr.. Jac-
ques Metz, one of the largest diamond
cutters Of that city. The stone il said
to have IA somewhat curious history,
and, though its exact birthplace il only
matter Of conjecture, 1t is known that
it was found by somebody in one of the
four mines of Kimberley, in the Cape
Colony, south Africa.
10 is said that IN June or July of last
year, one of the surveillance officers Of
the Central Mining Company in the
Kimberley mine found the stone, and
being exempt from search, carried il
through the searching house unperceiv>
eel and sold it to four irregular dealers
for $4,000. Before leaving the province
the new owners had night Ofdrinking
and gambling, which ended in two of
them becoming its owners instead of
four The two owners escaped the ST.
cret police and reached Cape Town,
where they found dealer who readily
paid them S95, 900 for the stone. There
is an export duty on diamonds shipped
from Cape Colony of one quarter per
cent, but it appears that this stone was
smuggled out of the colony by passen-
ger on the mail steamer and brought to
London, where its presentation at Hat
ton Garden created great sensation.
a former resident at the Cape mines
managed to form II company of eight
persons, who bought the stone between
them for s225, 900 cash, on condition
that the seller or sellers should receive
a ninth share of the eventual profits.
The real value of the stone has been es 70
timated at London at above $1,000, 200.
According to the ruler of valuation of
the famous Tavernier diamond, its val
ue would be =, 1876, $50. The correspon-
dent says that the art of diamond pol
ishing existing i'm Amsterdam for more
than three centuries has been brought
to such perfection that * il expected
that this stone, weighing in the rough
four hundred and fifty-seven earats
(and said to be whittier and purer than
any other of its historical predecessors ,
will lose in working much less than
other famous stones that il will he
more rapidly finished. and it has every
chance of remaining the largest and H.
nest diamond of the world.

licism has made rapid growth in the
United States. The erection of st. Pat
rick's Cathedral, New York, was large.
ly due to his energy, ability and liber-
ality.

The Piano and Organ in Our Homes.
In every W ell ordered household the
piano-forte is 81 familiar an object that
we are apt to be forgetful of its true
value as an educator, and of its refining
and ennobling influence upon the home
circle. Music is the sunshine of the
soul. Ii warns the heart aud quickens
the imagination. II is the one univer-
sal language OF the human race. When
all other forms of speech fail us in eX-
pressing our sentiments or aspirations,
We have recourse To music.
As it is chiefly by the aid of the piano
and organ that We daily cultivate and
practice this imperishable art, and that
we educate our children's voices and
tastes, il behoOyes us to employ for
work so important, an instrument
worthy of what may appropriately he
styled its mission. The character OF
your piano or organ not only has its
beneficial or its baneful Influence upon
the family but it indicates the degree
of taste belonging To its possessors. An
inferior piano or organ is like a disOr>
derly clock, that never tells the time of
day correctly, though ticking away in-
cessantly. Such an instrument exer-
cises a pernicious influence, unperceivS
ed, upon those who depend upon IT for
their standard of tone, and for correct
interpretations ofn.usical compositions.
The manufacturers of the matchless,
Steinway Il Sons, Decker Bros, and
Haines Bros, pianos, struck the key
note to perfection in the first instru-
ments they made, and from that time
steadily forged their way upward until
they stood on the pinnacle of high es-
TEEN, by merit only, without "influ-
ence." such as has occasionally helped
to secure a brief-lived notoriety of some
establishment. The best medium pric-
ed pianos are unquestionably the -. 4,

tested for over forty years and the ac-
tual number they have made now ex-
ceeds $4,000. They are Familiarity

made in our own name which surpass,

An Answer To "Inqu;rer.-

Editor Herald
In your issue Of the l4th inst, no.
tice the following:
'rhe G. p. church at Beia, Ohio
county, KY, has refused their house Of
worship to DIR. Coleman, in which to
worship God"
Why did they refuse DIR. Coleman
their house? ? Simply because DIR. Cole
man did not represent any church and
was not ON that occasion, considered by
that body, a representative man. The
doors of Beulah church are open at all
times for any Christian gentleman to
worship in when endorsed by his
church. The Baptist church IL well
come To the house whenever they
choose, with the privilege of selecting
their own preacher.
The &. p. church, at Beda, will not
invite DIR. Coleman or any other indi-
vidual to commune with them, but il
will and does invite all Christians,
regardless Of denominatiOnaI order, or
whether they belong to any church or
not. The question "a to whether they
are worthy or not Is left with them.
Therefore We leave the Doctor to decide
this very important matter.
Again, DIR. Coleman has not the
right to commune with the &. r.
church il he wished To do so, a. he
would he liable to eensure by his own
church. The G.. y. church invites all
Christian people, regardless of name or
order. DIR. Coleman does not dare to
do 50, il he were so inclined.
