THE American Baptist Union, in session
at Asbury Park, n. j., were startled on Sat
urday to learn that deficiency of nearly
sl50O0O bad been found in the accounts OF
John III. Deane, of New York, who for many
years was counsel for the board. There Is a
charge that the money was lost in Wall
street, which allegation is Indignantly
denied by Mr.. Deane. The latter had won
by his munificent donations the title of "the
Baptists' most generous, friend" He has
given to the Baptist church and its institu-
tions over 100000 in money. He gave $780,
600 cash to the Rochester University, OF
which he was graduate, besides a library.
de Is member of the Calvary Baptist
church, New York, for the building OF which
he gave $4,000. He also gave the land tor
the Second Baptist church, in the same city.
But his last condition is likely to nullify
most OF the reputation he had hitherto at
tained' For 1t seems plain that much OF the
money that he was making was the result O,
investments made with church funds.

vocalist, but her acting is such as would
place her in the first rank, even were she not
gifted with song. The parts W hich she sings
are numerous and her "Lucia" in the "Bride

Another Useless Law.

The attention Of merchants and trades
men is being called to the fact that the law
of June 8, 1885, styled ian act for the sup
preston of lottery gifts by storekeepers and
Others to secure patronage" is about to 90
into effect. As its terms made it operative
only one year after its date it goes into ef-
feet after next Thursday, June o, 1886. Its
provisions are as follows:
Any merchant, manufacturer, importer
retailer or dealer doing business within this
commonwealth. who shall offer, give or sell.
OF anthorlze or permit any agent salesman
or employe to offer, give or sell any purcha-
ser or customer, any ticket or tickets, check
or checks, or other token or memoranda en-
titling such purchaser to demand or receive
money or any article of value, shall be
deemed guilty OF misdemeanor, and upon
con viction, shall be sentenced to nav a fine
not less than ten, nor exceeding one hundred
dollars, or suffer Imprisonment not exceed-
ing one year, or either or both, at the discre-
ton the court -
1t will readily be seen that there is no re-
lation between the act and its title its
preamble whereas, the laws against gamb.
ing and lotteries are evaded by the giving
OF tickets, emitting the holders thereof to
money or articles of value as inducements
"e eio INJURY Ol legitimate
business" is misleading and misfitting.
Tickets or checks for chances are one
thing; premiums OF gifts to purchasers are
quite another. There is no warrant for
the confusion Of these distinct things: and
the law-making powers had no right to put
the brand of lottery or gambling upon
that species of trading which gives gift, or
check or memorandum representing gifts
mot chances) with purchases. Time out
OF mind publishers have offered premiums
TO subscribers and clubs and all kinds of
uadesmen are wont to give something "in
the bargain" This is no more iepiti-
mate than for soap or tobacco sellers, for
the tea and coffee stores to give chromos
and glassware or tickets representing them
with their sales. 1t may not be a dignified
business, but it is entirely honest and fair.
and the legislation which makes it a mia
demeanor is mean, vicious legislation. mt.
teriy unsound in principle and indefensible.
The men who passed it ought to be ridi.
culed and held up to scorn. They must be
ignoramuses, to say the best of them.

The History of Steel Pens.

II
A Roman metal pen Is said to have
been found at Aosta, not a mere sty-
lus, but bronze pen slit. and there is
some evidence Of 81 pen or reed Of
bronze nearly as early as the inven-
tion OF printing In the fifteenth century.
A hundred years ago some steel pens
were made in Birmingham by Mr.. Har-
rison for DIR. Priestly, and some OF
these passed into the hands of Sir
Joseph Mason In his early days with
Mr.. Harrison, but all seem to be
lost. The frat pen OF metal OF def
mite date, beyond all question, is one
IN Dutch patent-bOok OF 1717. At
about the same time q polite ode OF
Pope refers to a "steel and gold pen, ?"
but these were evidently luXuries only,
and it was not until about fifty orsix-
ty years ago that metallic pens be-
came more generally in use. 1t was
about 1923 or 1924 that the great
revolution came by which pens We're
made by a cheaper process hand
screw-press which pierced the pens
from sheet steel. Previously pens
had been made from steel rolled into
tube fashion, and the Joint formed the
slit; but these required considerable
labor to shape them into pen form.
The use Of the screw press belonged 70
the period OF John Mitchell, Jo-
seph Gillot and Josiah Mason,
but on O. careful review of the
facts il seems to be clear that
John Mitchell has the best claim to be
considered as the original introducer
OF press-made pens. Skinner, OF
Sheffield, was apparently one OF the
first to cheaper steel pens, but his
productions were soon surpassed
when the screw-press was introduced.

Two months ago the st. Paul Typo.

ms the proprietors refused to enter

The union on the 7th adopted the
