How to Behave in Church.

No gentleman will interrupt a
clergyman in the midst OF his dis
course to ask for the text.
A Christian gentleman will not as
sault the choir master until after the
benediction.
The morning paper should be left
at home, and never, under any circum-
stances, be taken to church to be read
while the collection is being taken.
Do not glare at the stranger in your
pew who has made the mistake OF
reading from your favorite hymn
book.
Conceal your contempt for the per-
son who puts a meagre dime in the
collection plate.
Should the church be insufficiently
heated put your handkerchief in your
mouth. The ehattering teeth OF a
congregation is apt to razzle dazzle
the rector.
Do not draw funny pictures on the
fly leaves of your neighbours prayer
book.
Don't walk up the centre aisle OF
your heals just because your shoes
squeak, Let them squeak.
Avoid practical jokes. Ifyour pew
happens to be near the gas nut dc
not turn off the gas, no matter how
facetious you may be-

SATURDAY
THE SUGAR TRUST.

The investigation into the Sugar Trust
was continued by the House Committee
at Washington March 10th. H o. HAY
ermeyer of New York was placed on the
stand. Nothing decidedly new was de-
veloped in regard to the trust, but the
investigation assumed somewhat the ma
ture of tariff hearing when the witness
stated that the sugar industry could not
exist without protection because of
higher prices paid for American labor
Sugar refners were Disseminated against
under the present tariff, the ad valorem
duty being higher on raws than on re-
fined sugars. Mills bill made things
even worse. Havermeyer said be was
Disseminated against in the matter of
drawback by the Treasury Department
in November, 1886. In his opinion
drawback on sugar should be fixed by
Congress and not by Secretary of the
Treasury, who might be an able man
and might not.

round his right, he caught his opponents
elbow joint on the inside of his arm,
spraining a sinew and utterly disabling
the limb, which was soon very much
SWOLLEN and extra painful. 1t is only
fair to add that Mitchell's left hand also
gave way in the early part of the fight.
Consequently both men were laboring
under serious disadvantages.
Miscellaneous.
A New York insurance company de-
clines to grant President Cleveland life
policy for $4,000, as he could not pass
the required medical examination.
Henry Bergh, founder and President
of the Society for the Prevention of Cru
city to Animals, died March 9Th in New
York City.
Jack Dempsy has challenged Mitchell
to fight for $4,000 a side, the fight to
take place either in America or England.
G. D. Pierce, a Democrat, has been
elected Mayor of Oakland.

An Attractive sale.

Yesterday we were invited to make
! an inspection of the handsome show
rooms of Messrs. G. w. Macfarlane &
Co., wherein are displayed the magnif.
cent assortment of goods advertised fol
sale at auction on Monday next at 10 a.
m. It is not often that such goods as
these go to the hammer, and they are
about to be offered to close invoices.
Every article, having been specially Sc
lected for this market, is of sterling
value. There is no rubbish. Among
the more prominent features are some
very tasteful plated table ware, bronze
statuary, glassware, toilet sets, etc. a
fine selection of center rugs, including
Burkish, Persian, Administer, Khyber,
Tanjore and Mecca, of very unique pat
terms and various sizes. The walls are
hung with some really valuable oil
paintings and water colors. There is a
pair by AID. Lueger, in which the per
spective has an exceptionally real ap-
pearance; a set of eight after De Men
ville-scenes in the Franco-Prussian war
"a Dutch fishing scene by K. Larsen
and many others. French wall glasses
in gilt, with beveled edges, are another
attractive feature. There are also some
very effective sets of English bedroom
furniture and others beautifully deco
rated with the celebrated French mar
quetrie work. This is a good opportu-
nifty also to procure parlor pieces, of
which there is great variety, some be-
ing handsomely upholstered, and all of
that substantial character for which the
English furniture is famous. There is a
magnificent musical box on an inlaid
table, with six changeable barrels and
playing AZ airs. Mention should also be
made of a small lot OF ladies' fans of very
elegant design. To name everything
would be impossible, but the foregoing
are few of the lines which more par
ticularly caught the eye. Further de-
tails may be learned from the advertise
ment, but correct idea can only he
gathered by a personal inspection. It
should be added that the arrangements
are made with the utmost regard for the
convenience of the public, the accommo-
dation for ladies being unusually good.

The PriVy Council and the Cabinet.
ED. P. c.. ADVERTISER = Sir: The
papers in referring to meeting of the
Privy Council yesterday, say the Min
istry were defeated. This kind of
language can only be used for the pur-
pose of showing that the Cabinet does
not absorb the entire views of the COM
munity, for there is no defeat of any
measure in Privy Council; the members
simply decline to endorse the Ministers
actions, leaving them to assume Minis
terial responsibility. If it was true that
the Council was called to endorse the
current expenses of the steam tug for the
two months to come, the Council GER
tainly took the proper view of the mat
ter. There of the four members of the
Cabinet claim to be lawyers, and it may
be a blessing to the country that the
fourth is not also lawyer. Any one
who reads article Is of the Constitution
will be at loss to know where the
''public disaster comes in and where
Ministerial responsibility begins and
ends.
The time is not SO far gone by, but
what the coolest resident" may remem-
Der Minister paying out large sums
without any authority of law or advice
of the Privy Council. Perhaps it may
be said that the Ministers see the error
of their ways and wish to reform, SO
much as to consult the Honorable Coun-
Gil, and if they were not lawyers they
should have credit for this last action of
theirs. xxx

The bark Lady Lampson, in charge of
Captain Sodergren, arrived yesterday,
sixteen and half days from San Fran
cisco. She brought two days later news
than the S. n. Castle. Following is a
summary:
Heavy Storm i'm the East.
A dispatch from New York, March
18th, says: The hardest snowstorm of
the year is raging, and the snow is a foot
deep, or over, on the ground. High
wind caused drifts, which in the upper
part of the city were three and tour feet
high. Traffic is suspended and thous-
ands of passengers are blocked on the
elevated road. Horse cars are entirely
unable to move. People who left for
uptown by the elevated road were I'M
able to get further than Eighth street.
Many of the more venturesome descended
to the street by ladders and walked the
rest of the way down town. People in
the suburban towns found it almost i'm
possible to reach town, so severe were
the drifts. The embargo on Geographic
communication is almost complete. The
South is entirely cut off, The wind has
been blowing gale for hours. Pedes-
TRANS have been prohibited crossing
East River bridge on account of the
hazard attending such an attempt. ONLY
a few persons have tried to make the
hazardous trip. Rain fell heavily until
after midnight, and heavy snow sud-
denly followed. At daybreak over
eighteen inches of snow had fallen on a
level. Such storm had not occurred
in this city in the recollection of the old
est inhabitant of this section. The wires
are down in all directions, and news
has not been received since morning
from even Philadelphia. An embargo
is on Washington. No wires are up be-
tween this city and Boston, and only
two between this city and Chicago.
Frozen ears and feet were never so
numerous. The drug stores were filed
with patients all day and evening. A
woman actually froze to death tonight
at the corner of Broadway and Fulton
street, popularity supposed to be the
breeziest four corners on earth.
All business has been Paralyzed. At
the Stock Exchange less than 1900
shares were sold-the smallest on
record. Quotations at the produce mar
kets were all nominal. OF forty mails
due between o'clock and noon only two
