A Serious Quarrel.

'What time did young Sampson leave last night, Clarag" asked her papa.
 ''It was after midnight" replied the girl, with a naughty snser. "We had a quarrel, and bade him good-by forever"
 "If you quarreled, I wonder he didn't leave earlier" +
 "We didn't begin quarreling until nearly 10 o'clock. "-New York Sun. -

THE RED BANDANA

We believe in thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar. But the demand that every husband buy Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our land! No The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason S Hamlin, Boardman & Gray Baus, and Wilcox & White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of a manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago.

Advice to the Anglomanian.

Theaverage Anglomaniac may survey him
self in the glass with satisfaction as he con
templates his Poole made suit, his Norfolk
jacket, his covert coat, his Knickerbockers
his yarn stockings, his dog skin gloves, his
blackthorn walking stick, his rimless eve
glass, his white "spats" and his gypsy set
rings, and may listen with delight to the
sound of his own voice in conversation with
a similarly anglicized countryman as he
drawls forth his London accent"-both may
revel in the FOOLS paradise of their inagi-
nary and only too willing expatriation, to
their hearts content, and fondly believe they
are exactly like Englishmen, you know. !"
But never an Englishman will you find who
mistakes them for other than they are

across the Atlantic in the mutual admira-
ton, mutual deceiving atmosphere of a fash

maniac's ambition, cannot, does not, make

don't always guess right. You need moi

Fred Douglass at 10 Years.

Fred Douglass has just entered his list
year. He told me the other day that he mar
veled at the fine preservation of his faculties.
He had been without home nearly all his
life, and had been travelling continually.
Generally he had to put up with poor food,
badly ventilated tavern rooms and damp
beds. He had also suffered not a little vio-
fence. This reflection led him to show me
the hand that was once broken by mob.
He believes that temperate habits hive been
his salvation. He never smokes or drinks
and he says that his indulgences have always
been moderate. Washington Cor Boston

THE UNDRRTAKERS.



The funeral directors of the United
States and Canada finished Thursday at
the Clrrollton Hotel the work OF their
seventh annual convention and adjourned
to meet at Toronto, Canada, on October
I'd, 1889. During the day they changed
their name, SO that they will be known
hereafter as the International Funeral
Directors Association of America. A
motion to put the word "undertaker" in
the title was made, but it was rejected.
Thomas Mitchell Of Delaware, the eldest
member, said: 81 have been in the busi-
ness IS years. | was in II, brethren,
when it took from sunrise until nine at
night to get o coffin ready. The word
undertaken is good enough for me. 1t Is
on my sign, card and bill head, and there
it stays"
The most important business of the
day was the adoption of resolution, the
gist Of which is: "We recommend organi-
zation under the existing rule between the
manufacturers and the Funeral Directors
Association, namely, where rs per cent
Of a states business has pledged itself to
purchase supplies only from the National
Burial Case Association the association
will not start new parties in undertaking
unless recommended by the FuneyaI Di
rectors' Association. The representatives
of the N. Is. O. A. will urge their body TO
make On agreement to sell to no one ex-
cept thoae whose names are on list pre-
pared by the Funeral Directors Associs-
tions and revised by the manufacturers
to include all present customers de-
parture from this to be authorized by the
directors The committee also req1ested
manufacturers to discontinue smbAlming
schools.
Ex-President H. Samson of Pittsburg
read an address, in which he eaid 1--WE
ought to have some standard rules for
funerals, but we have not. 1t is humili
atiug to read accounts Of public obee-
quies sometimes. 1t certnin statesman's
funeral the preachers were brought ont Of
taa capitol backward, and the corpse head
first. The monrners were behind the band
aud the Knights Templar before It. The
director rode horseback beside the hearsa
and the widow leaned on tho arm Of the
coroner. These things are enough TO
make funerai director blush. Thore
should be uniform regulations about
drspery also."

During the debate in the Senate Thurs
day, on consideration Of Mr.. Hele's reso.
lntion ou General Bsnet's circular as TO
discharges from arsensis and armorieH,
SENATOR Salisbury, of Delaware, aaid
that in his humble Judgment suoh de-
bate ard such resolution were disrepu-
table to tho Senate. The administration
bad been reyiled, misrepsented, traduced,
simply for the purpose Of getting votes in
the next presidential election. That was
the truth and the whole truth about the
debate. He had not much respect for
civil servics reform. He believed that
the party in power ought to sec that its
agents were men of capacity, of integrity,
of honesty, and of fidelity. That was
the kind of civil service reform that he
believed in. II he bsd the power he
would repeal the civil service statute and
revoke every order made under it.

new suitor and BsInes was 90 detected
that he bid several friends good-by on
TUESDAY. He then got drunk and
walking to the old, unused quarry along
side the railroad, he deliberately walked
over the embAnkment. The hight from
the top of the bank to the water is at
least twenty feet, and it il thought he ives
slammed in falling down the bank. Ee
came to the surface once and then sank
from view. Eye witnesses Of the affair
ran to this scene and tried to reacue him
but fRilsd. His body was soon recovered
but life was extinct. The body was taken
to Baltimore for burial this afternoon.
