A Highly Profitable Erarn.

During the civil war great fair was held ln New York for the benefit of the sanitary commission, which did deal of good for the Union soldiers. A large amount of money was raised by private subscription. Vanderbilt and A. T. Stewart were ap- preached, and each said he would give as much as the other. This word was carried backward and forward again and again, with no practical result At last the commodore lost his temper at Stewards delays, and put down his name for a round S1OO GOO Ths merchant did the same, but was said to be exceedingly angry at the rival millionaire. How very angry they must both havc been! But it was highly profitable wrath.-Paul k. Cleveland in The Cosmopolitan

UNITED LAnoK.s CHAMPION.
Dr oIcGlynn Addresses Large Audience
 at City Hall.

City hall was pretty well filled last even ing when M J. Brzezinski appeared upon the stage and announced the officers of the meeting. John Moriarty was named as chairman. Before introducing the speaker MT Moriarty said that in order to defray incidental expense a collection would be taken up. The hat was passed around and a snug sum realized. The speaker of the evening, Dr Edward McGlynn of New York, was then introduced to the audience amid great applause. The speaker certainly gave no external appearance of being in anything but the best of health and for over two hours spoke upon the equitable, moral and religious grounds of the labor question. "There is q labor question, he said, pressing to-day for an answer, and if this question is not solved upon equity, upon moral, yea even upon religions grounds, it must force solution even if necessary by violence. I would protest for myself and the men engaged in this move ment that we are men of peace. The pIinci- pies for which we are contending arc radical fundamental ones. We are not 6 gang of hungry politicians with avidity seeking the spells of office, but simply seeking to incorporate in our laws principles of justice. Here the speaker referred to him self and said that as priest of God he had rlght to De where he Is to-day, as the fundamental rights of men can never be based upon anything else than the great moral and religious truth that the equal rights of men are based upon, the gift of the creator. Justice he believed to be the law of God. He is upon the platform he declared not in spite of his priesthood but on account of it. The speaker next ex- plained the meaning of labor and labore1 and said the reason why there Is such g burning labor question to-day is because some of us are crowded out by the big fish. Coming down to tho real point of his lec- ture Dr McGlynn claimed tha. the obvious title of everything comes from making it. God made every thing and he therefore owns everything. God made the earth and it is blasphemy to say he gave it to one more than another
 The speaker then in nicely couched terms explained the building up of cities, which he said was good and right, but he said the so called owners should be made to pay taxes on the full valuati on of the property improved by civilization. There is vacant land in the center of this city worth thousands the owners of which instead of improving have retarded progress. They should be compelled to pay an equivalent for the privileges they enjoy. Capitalists, railroads and the banking system all came in for scoring. The democratic party and Governor Hill of New York were denounced and the speaker closed by urging secret ballot, and saying good word for united labor and the republican party.

Rev Father Finne gan Arrives Home safe and in Good Health
 The Rev Father Finnegan assistant pas tor of the church of the Immaculate Con ception, returned last evening from a three months trip in Europe. In company with the Rev T. NJ. Crowley of Norwaik he sailed from New York on the Umbria on 1 the morning of July 21. After very pleasant voyage they arrived at Liverpool and at once proceeded to London where they spent some time. From London they went to Belgium, visiting Brussels and other noted cities of that country. Thence they pro ceeded to EGermany, visiting Cologne, Mayence and all the large cities of the German empire. From Germany they
 went to Switzerland, visiting Balste, Luzerne and its splendid lakes. Their journey through the Alps was very pleas ant since they occasionally met parties of American tourists. From there they went to Italy and viewed the magnificent cathed- ral of Milan, Venice with her many boats and Lorrette with her numerous historical buildings and her religious institutions. Here they visited the sacred building in which the holy family dwelt, which was removed from Bethlehem centuries ago. In the east side of the building is an altar upon which the apostles offered up mass,
 and upon this very altar Father Finnegan offered up the mass for the people of this city. From Rome they went to Paris and spent week in the gay capital of the French republic, and from there went to Ireland where three weeks were spent. When in Dublin 'said Father Finnegan, y I attended meeting held at the Phoenix park at which 60,O00 people denounced the Imprisonment of Thomas Mahoney. Lord Mayor Sexton presided and the people drank in every word uttered by ths speaker. The meeting was orderly and so still you could almost hear a pin drop. There were three stands erected from which the Irish flag tloated and closely rested by its side was our American stars and stripes. The American tourist can not but admire the patriotism that burns in those Irish breasts. Father Finnegan has entirely recovered his health and is much benefited by the trip. The voyage home was made upon the Aurania, which reached New York Monday.

Pass Upon Matters of Interest at Las
 Nights Meeting.
 The laying of assessments for sewer purposes upon Adams and Hawkins streets was the only business of any importance transacted by the board of sewer commis- Sioners last evening.
 The meeting of the road board was a more important one and several matters of importance were discussed and acted upon.
 Street Inspector Colley was instructed to finish the work commenced on Denny street to put in proper shape the cross walk across Canal street in line of Grand to notify the property owners on the west side of Canal street to cause their side walks to be repaired on or before Novem- Der l and finally to execute the different orders hereafter passed by the board In explanation of this last clause it is stated that the board find considerable fault with the manner in which their orders are neglected by the inspector.
 The board recommended the laying of sidewalks on the east side of Canal street, and q crosswalk across Grand street at the west line Of Canal.
 The city engineer submitted to the board survey and grades proper to be made at Liberty street and River street near the Meriden, Waterbury and Connec- ticut River railroad bridge, which will re quire filling, grading, the construction of sidewalks, and incidental to these changes it was necessary that the house of James Cur ley be raised.

 The Second regiment team entered protest against the result in the regimen tai team m atch, as they claim the shots on the target by the First regiment team were not correctly noted by the scorers. Major Jarman, after investigation, found the protest to be without good excuse, and so decided. But he preferred, inasmuch as the state had offered the first prize, and a dispute had arisen, that the protest be de- cided by Adjutant General Camp, and that the prize be awarded upon the deci- sion of that office.

Extra efforts were made to down Weber Alas, for shattered hopes and prospects blasted Even whole stores imported and goods ordered expressly for the Watertown Fair failed to accom- plish the desired result. Instead the plainest- cased Piano bears off the honors of the occas ion, Why is this !: Simply because Weber Pianos are made from the Musicians standpoint and through constant and faithful effort, aiming al ways at perfection they have long since been acknowledged by thorough musicians as the one iano manufactured containing a soul" By their peculiar construction quality of tone is secured embodyiue not oRly great power, but the sympathetic, pure and rich tone, especially adapting it to the voice and making this Instru- ment the choice of the highest musical talent in the world.

An Amusing Goose Story.

when 1 was in Alabama, between
Porter's Gap and Millerville," said a
gentleman living in Atlanta, Il came to
a country place where a mar was driving
ten or twelve geese from a branch toward
a cotton patch. For heavens sake, ;
said ], what is it you have on the necks
of those geese?' Those are gourds, full
of water. 1 drive these geese into that
cotton patch and keep them there all day
wedding out the cotton. There is no
water in the cotton patch, and 1 have to
give them water in this way to keep
them there But how do they get the
water out of those gourds under their
necks" They drink out of each others
gourds. Each gourd has an opening in
the side so that another goose can put his
bill into the gourd and drink. If you
will stay here long enough you will see
it yourself 1 waited there half a day
to see that performance, and finally I
saw it. The geese did just as the man
said they would. When a goose got
thirsty he walked up to his neighbor and
coolly drank out Of the gourd on his
neck. Atlanta Journal.

Literary Work without Paw.

When Rider Haggard wrote 'Mr. Nee
sons VIII" probably the queerest of all
his queer stories, he let himself out with
a vengeance upon the skinfint section of
the noble guild of publishers. The
Nelson's of the trade may possibly be the
exceptions, but whether that be so or not,
there certainly are too many of them. A
medical friend told me the other day about
one of them in New York. The New York
Nelson's publishes medical works on an
extensive scale and issues two medical
periodicals besides. The periodicals are
made up mainly of professional papers,
prepared by doctors from experience in
their own practice. Not one of these
papers, my friend said, is paid for. The
house makes it a rule not to pay any of
the contributors to it's periodicals. 1t
pays only the editors, and these as little
as possible.
but" 1 asked, "can it really get arti-
cles from doctors without paying for
them-articles, 1 mean, that are worth
printing!" Yes, he said, plenty of them;
not of the best quality, perhaps, but in
teresting and often useful. Many doctors
like to keep their views before the pro-
fession and before the public, too, and
they do it in this way. They write the
article in their spare moments and are
satisfied with publication as compensa-
ton. Their lanes are printed, the articles
attract some attention, and their purpose
to keep themselves before the public is
accomplished. The publishers make a
good deal of money by these periodicals,
especially in the advertising department,
and nearly all is clear profit.-New York
