Ancient and Modern Documents.

In taking down one of the old but tresses of the Episcopal church at Can aan, Conn.,, leaden box was found con- taining the following: bible, prayer book, copy of the church calendar for June '. 1845, and Churchman for August 16, 1845, printed journal of the gen. eral convention of the Episcopal church in 1844 and of the diocesan convention in 1845, the Spirit of Missions for 1945 and also written document which could not be deciphered. There was small leak in the box so that the things inside were moulded and nearly destroyed. A new box was made for them and replac- ed in the new buttress at the east side of the front porch.
 It was known that such a box had been placed in one of the buttresses when the church was built. Tradition located it in certain corner, but in talk ing down that buttress it was not found as expected, and all came to the conclu- sion that it still remained imbedded at the base of one of the new buttresses, just completed, and it was decided to let 1t remain undisturbed and to make a new deposit. Accordingly sealed box was deposited in the southwest buttress containing record of the parish from it's organization up to the present time, 8 list of officers and members and other statistics, the last issue of the Connecti- cut Western News, together with the is- sue of April ', containing a list of ex- members of the Legislature from this town still living, copy of the Hartford Times containing an account of the leg islative reunion, 8 copy of Episcopal convention journal for 1885, copies of the Churchman, the Living Church, the Archdeaconry Record, the state record of officers and statistics, compiled by the authority of the last Legislature, and other publications which may be of interest to future generations. Several days after making this deposit the orig inal box was discovered as above men, toned.

MATHEMATICIAN

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 12.-At the Boston
convention of the Irish National League of
America, a resolution was unanimously
passed directing that a sum of So, 900 shall
be annually appropriated out of the funds
of the league to indemnity the president of
the league for his time and services in the
interest of the cause. Mr.. Egan, when
elected president, informed the convention
of his intention not TO accept any compensa-
ton for has services, but Notwithstanding
this, the national executive committee of
the league, at its recent meeting in CHI
cago, insisted on voting the So, due
under the resolution up to August last, and
directed the treasurer to remit the same to
the president. The check for the amount
reached Mr.. Egan to-day. and he at once
Endorsed it back to Rev. O'Reilly, the
treasurer, as his personal contribution to
the league funds.

All Roads Head TO Duluth.

Special 10 the Globe
DULUTH, Feb. I2-ltis stated to-day that in
the near future substantial evidence will be
set forth of the correctness of the report cir
culated last fall, that the Minneapolis & st.
Louis railroad would build to Duluth. The
authority comes from the Office of PROM
inent railroad contractor, and is thought 10
be unquestionable. 1t says survey from
TayloT's Falls will begin within two weeks,
and that there will be no hitch until the
tracks are laid to Duluth.
The Minnesota a. Northwestern road has
denied that il would come TO Duluth. and
il is thought il will also begin operations
this spring, and it looks very much as
though two new roads would be running
into Duluth in another year. one from st.
Paul through Wisconsin and the other from
the same place through Minnesota.
There has been great deal of comment
in Duluth of late of the seeming partiality
of the Omaha road for the village of Wash
burn, Wis. Some have said that the rail-
road company owned most of that town
and was directing all its energy and capital
TO make that the leading lake port. The
Omaha company did own land at Wash
burn, but last week the most Of il was sold
TO st. Paul and Bayfield, parties for $500. 600.
The sale embraced some 5000. 900 feet of
pine, and the purchasers will erect a saw
mill there at once, it is said. With this an
nouncement and the fact that the Omaha
company is at present investing $500, 600 in
Duluth it would seem that the Zenith City
is deemed OF some importance to the road.
OF course the Omaha, as well as everyone
else, wishes Washbum well, but it is pat
ent to all that Duluth is the coming city of
the Northwest, and Duluthians should be
the last persons TO fear anything from the
prominence the Wisconsin village may at

THE CHORUS GIRL.
A Member of the Fraternity ADJ
dresses a Few Lines 10 the PUBLIC.

The general impression that the chorus
girl should be blamed for the untimely birth
and nauseating Stiffness of the dude IS, /
think, ridiculous and erroneous one.
Rather condemn the weak and purblind
society that will admit and recognize such
apologies for men. do acknowledge that
the average chorus girl has very little
IN her favor beyond her pretty face and
well-shaped, nimble limbs. But she Is gen.
orally good-natured, generous to fault and
the soul of honesty. She has a loose, free
manner Of speaking, but this is the out
growth of too much and too intimate asso-
citation with her fellow workmen and work
women that the life and dressing facilities
involve. She generally enters the chorus
with many mental vows TO follow the mar
row and rugged path of virtue-reSolTes TO
work hard, to save little money and TO
gradually rise to the highest pinnacle Of
comic opera fame. But she soon sees
that mere talent is at q discount and
that other girls not near so pretty,
bright or graceful are dashing far ahead
OF her. She asks why il is. and is told
that the lucky girl is a fayorite with the
management or that she has some rich man
TO back her. The poor little chorus girl Is
discouraged. She remembers the many
demands on her small and insufficient sal
painfully aware of the holes in her gloves
and her shabby, weIl-worn shoes Her
companions jeer her for a prude, her
mother has a hacking cough and needs
nOurishing food. the little brother requires
winter clothing or little sister shoes. The
walk home is long and dreary in this bitter
winter weather, and as she mounts several
rights of stains to her cold and cherries
boom, she wonders why some people are so
hleSsed while she has more than her weak
heart and exhausted body can endure.
IT'S then the dude makes his first impress
sion on q mind too enervated by this hard
struggle for mere existence; then she well
comes anything for a change, even the
vaDid compliments Of wholly deprayed
and semi-idiOt.
He sends flowers, gushes about love at
first sight. and with glib. persuasive tongue
induces the hesitating girl to go out for her
Inst champagne supper. Then, God help
the poor little chorus girl.
There are other girls who go into the
chorus, strong-hearted. well-balanced
women, too often mothers with small chill
dren TO support.
Between the acts they sit in their dressing
rooms reading, sewing or doing fancy work.
They have nothing TO do with professional
broils, have never seen the inside OF cham
payne bottle. go home Immediately after
the performance, and with bright eyes and
blooming cheeks are always first at re-
hearSal
The life of an actress is hard, laborlous
and tempted one. and because weak natures
succumb in the general scramble for exist
ence, they should not all be pointed at with
the same finger of seorn.
Rather excommunicate the dude. crush
him out of existence, and say with me, God
bless and help TO be brave and strong the
unfortunate chorus girl.-One of Them,

Florida Press association has adopted the
following:
Resolved, That we, the members OF the
Florida Press association, coming from all
parts of the state, and, therefore, fully cog
infant OF the real condition of the orange
groves, as now shown at the end of thirty
days from the time OF the frost, state the fol-
lowing as the true facts in reference thereto:
First-That, in consequence of the exceed
ingly low temperature the larger part OF the
fruit remaining on the trees was frozen.
Second-That bearing trees and trees which
were in healthy condition received no in
jury, although losing their leaves and are
already budding with promise of a fair crop
for the present year.
Third-That while trees in more no-therly
counties are not as advanced in budding out
it is believed that in no portion of the orange
growing region Of Florida have the trees re-
ceived any material damage.
Fourth-That it has been demonstrated
that orange trees can sustain a much lower
degree OF cold than has been heretofore sup
posed. giving renewed assurances of safety

THE RAILROADS.
Upper missouri Navigation. ~


Capt. 1. p. Baker. general agent for the
Fox Benton Transportation company, says
that his company will have five boats on
the river this season, all in excellent trim
for work to be done. The new boat added
to the feet is the Northern Pacific Transfer
No. 2, which is being thoroughly overhauled
and remodeled for service on the upper
river. She has been christened the Judith,
and will probably be the largest and most
powerful boat on the Missouri this year.
The Judith, like the Benton, will be pre-
eminently freight boat. and during high
water can carry nearly 500 tons. The Ben
ton and Helena are now being oyerhauled
at Bismarck yard, and will start on the
work of the season almost as good as new.
Capt. Baker has been putting in some
pretty good ticks for the upper river, and Is
hopeful Of securing fair appropriation for
that section of the stream, as well as the
adoption of the lighthouse system which Is
in vogue on the several important water
ways of the country.
