In q certain prominent church choir not
far from Boston the soprano was a woman Of
dashing and stylish appearance, whose toilets
were almost as much matter of considera-
ton with her as her voice, and with whom
the preparation of new dress sometimes
caused the preparation of an aria TO suffer
sadly. The contralto on tho contrary, was
person who gave not much thought TO her
dress. but who had, of course, to be sufficiently
scrupulous about it to keep up a fair ap-
pearance in the conspicuous place, within
the chancel, where the choir was stationed.
She finally made up her mind to get a new
silk gown, and chose lavender for the color
She confided her plans to the soprano, as a
connoisseur, and tho soprano gave her much
advice about the dress I'm "a patronizing
way. The getting up Of the contraltos
new lavender gown was a rather slow
matter, and the soprano kept herself
posted as to its progress. When would
it be ready to wears The eontpalto said it
couldn't be ready before two weeks from the
next Sunday. And it wasn't, but the very
next Sunday the soprano came out in new
and beautiful blue silk, which she announced
her intention to wear right along, and which
tho contralto saw, to her CONSERVATION, would
utterly destroy her lavender and make it i'm
possible to wear It. So, with some natural
tears, tho contralto put away her new gown
until such time as the soprano should tire
Of wearing her blue; and the next Sunday
the soprano, coming in blue again, and see
ing the contralto still IN sober black, asked
with sweet, ingenious surprise:
'Why, where is your new gowng"
al decided not to wear it, said the con
trnlto, sadly, with glance at the blue silk.
Weeks after that the ladies in the congre
cation were exclaiming: "What long time
Mrs Seesharp is wearing that bluel nevel
knew her TO wear one dress so long before.

Aldrlch, Frye and Hampton. Frye has almost a
national reputation as salmon killer; anything
less than salmon fails to arouse his interest.
he is a member of several sporting clubs in
MAINE and Canada, and two or three times q
year manages to make his way to the fishing
grounds. The most scientific angler, however
is Hampton. He has one of the finest outfits in
Washington, and his patience and perseverance
are SAID to be all that can be desired. He fire.

himself down upon the bank of the river

Lamar should have got all the bass in the Poto-
mac, for he sat still with his pole between his
knees, while he deVOured the novel until the
waning sun walked him to the fact that the day
was almost gone, and he also saw Hampton ap-
pear in the distance with a fine string of fish in

MARK TwAIN's DEBT RAISING.
He Describes Novel Schem to Raise
Money for a Church.


From the NelC York Press.
"DId you ever hear how Mark Twain lifted a
church debtS"
mo; didn't know that that was in his line.
When and how did he do its''
1T was at the time the Rev. T. K. Beecher
was building his large church at Elmira, where
Mark was living at the time. He wrote up the
plan on which Beecher was doing it. A church
10 town on the Hudson river had debt OF
$4,000, and the treasurer happened to come
across the account of Marks. At the next
meeting of the church board he told the breth-
rem OF 1t. He said there was no telling whether
It was told for a fact or as joke for he always
thought Mark was joking when he was telling
the truth and serious when he was joking At
any rate he thought il was worth trying SO he
sent out letters to every member of the church
TO send him by certain date what he or she
thought was his or her portion of the debt, Civ
ing as the Lord had proSpered them, no matter
how much or how little. They were asked not
to give according as others might give, but to
science and with God They were not to com
municate the amount they gave TO anybody ex
cept the pastor
The result was astonishing. Persons that
never had given anything TO the church re-
sponded promptly and generously. Parties
that had always given grudgingly and meagerly
gave astonishingly large sums. When the date
fixed arrived the whole amount asked for was
In the hands OF the treasurer, and no one, ex-
cept the treasurer, pastor and donor knew what
anybody had given. The plan called the conf
dental subscription plan was based on the true
law of giving, and was a gratifying success.

Ex-senator Jones Purpose.

Mr.. w. G.. Frolich an editorial writer on
the st. Paul Globe, says that ex-senator
Jones proposes to return to Florida and re-
enter politics Mr. Frolich visited Detroit
a few days ago and conversed freely with
the ex-senator, with whose actions and in
tentions he is well acquainted Mr.. Frolich
does not say why Mr.. Jones left the Senate
and pursued the course he did in De-
troit. The ex-senator is still familiar
figure in Detroit and adheres to his
practice of promenading the principal
streets every morning, regardless OF the
weather. He is n wreck financially, and he
is dependent upon the charities of his
friends. Mentally, however, he is as sound
as ever. That he retains some of his
political influence is shown by the fact of
his obtaining recently government posi-
ton for Detective O'Neil, in whose house
he makes his home.
The statement that the ex-senator will
again seek Senatorial honors is very posi-
tive one, but he may change his mind. If
he should return to Florida and re-establish
himself in his law business he might prove
"A formidable opponent of Senator Call
whose term expires in 1891. He is not
without friends in Florida. In fact, there
are many people there who would welcome
him back and help him to get started again
in lis profession. His mysterious conduct
would soon be forgotten if he proved him
self 10 he capable Of taking HIS old time
position at the bar.
