To Devote Her Life to pious Work.

1t is announced from Pittsburgh that
Miss Kate Drexel, a daughter OF the late
Francis A. Drexel, Of Philadelphia, who
has been IN retreat at the Mother House
of the Sisters of Mercy in Pittsburgh since
June, has finally decided to embrace a
religious life, and will take the veil next
month, probably within three weeks
This announcement is the result of
Miss Drexels meditation upon
all the questions involved, and
is regarded as ending all specula-
tions as to her return to the world.
The ceremonies incident to the formal
progression of such intentions are ex-
trsmely solemn and impressive. In this
case they will be conducted very quietly,
and it is understood that no one beyond
the members Of the lamented family and
the guardians of the young lady will be
asked to be present. Archbishop Ryan
will probably receive her professions.
Miss Drexel, it is said, Is abundantly
happy in her choice. She will give her
time and thought and means largely to
the care and education of Indian girls.
Before she went into retreat at the
Convent in Pittsburgh, she, with her
two sisters, made two visits to the Indian
tribes of the west and northwest. She
knows their condition thoroughly and is
satisfied of the necessity of the work she
wishes now to undertake. II her wishes
should be realized and she should enter
on this work, she would probably group
around her number of young ladies,
who are similarity impressed with the
possibilities of the field. Their influence
would be thrown out all through the south
ern and far western States and Territories
and schoolhouses and missions be built.

Cuteness is not confined to New Eng
land. An enterprising farmer from Yolo
county was recently awarded first pre-
MUM for the heaviest pumpkin on exhi-
bition at the California State Fair at Sac
ramento. 1t was beauty and tipped
the beam at 165 pounds. But, sad to re-
late, the Yolo pumpkin was "primed," +"
as was subsequently discovered by an ac-
cident, as upon its teing purchased BY
a Sacramento editor, who became enani-
ored with it, and was having it placed in
wagon to take home, in fell and was
broken IN pieces, and forty pounds OF bird
shot rolled out of the centre. 1t was a.
clear case of deception on the part ot
some Yolo granger, who palmed the
pumpkin off on the innocent and confd
ing newspaper man, making him believe

"CAN any good thing come out of Naz-
areth?" 4" was asked of old, and in effect
is asked to-day. Men are often judged
by their surroundings rather than by their
personal worth. Reputation is largely
a fictitious thing, resting upon circum-
stances which are entirely independent
Of the individual. A rich diamond may
be trampled in the dust, while worth
less imitation, because of its setting may
be counted of great value. Men of true
worth and real merit, through the force
Of circumstances, may remain, for time
at least in obscurity, while men who are
every way their interiors, simply because
OF the position which they happen to
occupy, may be esteemed great. Nothing
is more unreliable than the estimate
placed on men by the unthinking
multitude. Ono day they shout "Ho.
sanna, the next they cry, Cruelty him."
He who courts popular applause courts a
tickle dame who at any moment may dis
appoint him. lie who judges men by
the popular estimate, judges them incor-
rectly.

Henceforth the mills at Moxham will

The dealings of Contractors Mclean s.

with those who preceded them, as they
had but one dispute about wages and
that was for only sixty cents. Samuel

Justice Hart, and obtained judgment for

A DESERVING CANDIDATE.

Mr.. James g. Darby, the Democratic
candidate for Prothonotary, had the mis-
fortune to lose one of his arms in his
youth, but notwithstanding this great loss
he educated himself, attending the public
schools and st. Francis College at
Loretto. His father died when he was quite
young, and it is owing to his own energy
of character that he has fitted himself
and been nominated for this important
office. He has ever been a consistent and
working Democrat, and has given his
time and labor for the success of the
party, its nominees and its principles.
Without wishing to disparage his op-
ponent, Mr.. Troxel, it is fact that he is
more competent to perform the duties of
ProthonotarY than the Republican nomi-
nee. This office it an important one, and
to say the least Mr.. Darby is best
equipped for the place. His acquaint-
ance is general all over the county and is
exceedingly popular where he is best
known. His character has never been
assalled, and his actions as boy and man
have often received high commentator.
He should receive every Democratic vote
in the county, in fact the whole ticket
is worthy our united and earnest support.

CONSIDERABLY MIXED.

Two southside Women Get Into Quarrel
and Sue Each Other.
Mrs. Eliza Mccarthy and Mrs. Catherine
Thomas allowed themselves to fall into
bad temper yesterday, the result being that
there is an information against Mrs. Thomas
before Alderman Schafer, charging her with
assault and disorderly conduct, and one be-
fore Alderman Succop alleging the same
ofenses against Mrs. Mccarthy. The latter
lady lives in Virgin alley, near South
Thirteenth street. and yesterday Mrs.
Thomas was caller there at her sisters
house. Her children accompanied her.
During the day they became involved in
juvenile fight with the youthful McCarthys.
The two mothers appeared on the scene of
conflict at the battles height and called
truce. A wordy war ensued between the
parents, which soon became tame and
more vigorous proceedings were INDUCED
in. Each woman believes her cause to be
the just one, hence the suits against each
other for assault and battery.

month to row Searle. The gentleman who
backed Beach has offered to back Teemer and

that he will conclude to do so, and viii in that
event sail on November Is There is nothing
