ALoud Time ut n silver wedd,ug.

At the silver wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. /.
Henscel last evening Rabbi Wise made the
eongratulatery speech. After he had talked IS
minutes he said he would like to tell at length
his opinions about marriage. Some one
shouted shut upr' A general rough and
tumble fight immediately took place. Chairs,
bottles, cakes and plates from the banquet
table were the weapons. Mrs. Hammerschlay
was hit in the head with a pickle caster and
Mrs. Charles Sabbath was Knocked down with
a water jug. Mr.. Sabbath broke his arm in
trying to punish the man who struck her. After
half an hour Of continuous fighting the we'd
ding guests got tired and went home.
The Pope and the Clan. Ma Gael.
The dispatch printed in to-day's papers from
Rome to the London Standard, saying that the
Pope had given Archbishop Feehan, Of
Chicago, power to take whatever measures he
might deem opportune to declare the Clan-na.-
Gael in opposition to the Church was the sub
ject of good deal of talk to-day. Few Clan
na-Gael men believed the statement to be true
for the reason that it was not the habit of the
Church of Rome to make the first announce
ment of its intentions public through the
columns OF newspaper. But it was thought
not at all unlikely that the statement was the
forerunner of step that was likely to be taken
by the Pope eventually as the result Of the
Cronin murder. since the policy Of the Church
has always been more or less opposed to secret
societies. The question what effect the Papal
interdict would have upon the Clan-na-Gael
was one which Clan-na-Gael men sought to
evade to-day. Michael Breslin said the Pope
could issue all the bulls and bears and cows
and horses he chose and it would not stir the
Clan-na-Gae bit. 1T Is true" said ne. shat
there are few men in the Clan-na-Gael who
travel under any other religious standard than
But the Pope could do what
he pleased even to accommodating those
who refused to desert the Clan-na-Gael, but he
could not exterminate the society or even
scarcely affect it. doubt the truth OF the
telegram"

THEATRICAL affairs in this city are at low
tide. For a couple Of months they will remain
SO. 1t is better SO. There is no money to be
made in Pittsburg out of summer snaps, as they
are called-cheaply equipped opera companies
and concert variety shows. The past has shown
that pretty plainly. The main difficulty in the
way of success for summer opera company, for
instance is that none of our theaters are cool or
well ventilated. The ventilation of every
theater. without a single exception. is very bad.
One is very little better than another in this
regard.
If ever theater on really frst-class modern
lines shall be built in Pittsburg. there may bea
chance for summer season of light opera and
othsr frothy stuff suited to the weather. Not
till then.
THE return to sound health Of Mr.. ]. A.
Shedden is good thing for more than the pro-
prietors of the Bijou Theater. 1t is always
lucky for the public to have gentlemen to
deal with in theater. Mr.. Shedden does not
appear to be much the worse for his long seclu
sion in a sick room, though his face is pale yet
of course. A tour with lots Of bracing sea air
in it will put him in good shape for work at the
Bijou next season.

''MY experience with young Flamm, who is
charged with stealing from the Marine Bank" !"
said a son of wealthy Pittsburger yesterday
several years ago, coupled with rumors that
have reached me lately, convinced me months
ago that he was off the right track again."
"What was the experience you speak of?'
asked
"Oh, he merely went down to Horne's store
and claiming to be a younger brother of mine
got credit for enough fine shirts, ties, sus-
penders, underwear and In fact everything
that he could wear to last him a couple of
years. His father paid that bill"

THE OLD STORY.


The tale doesn't come from the sounding sea,
Though its odor's marine all the same
And it shows how many the suckers be
Who are fieeced by the fim-fam game.

THERE are curious things to be seen in every
cemetery From time lmmemorial it has been
the lot of half of the world to laugh at the in
scriptions on the tombs of the other half
But do not propose to cite some queer cpl
taphs. Merely, the other day in stroll
through a cemetery / noticed handsome
tombstone such as you often see over the
graves of husband and wife who have lain
down for their last long sleep together. 1t was
a double tombstone and on one half was the
name of woman who rested beneath it, but
the other half was absolutely blank. 1t was
reserved for the commemoration of the
woman's husband, when he shall die and be
buried there. he is still in the flesh. He is
enjoying the rare privilege of seeing his own
tombstone whenever he goes to the cemetery.

The weather is growing hot, but we must

TILDA's PROPOSAL.

All slick like an jess so,
When Tilda, in her hunkiest hat,
Come up, an lowed she'd 90
With him as showed her far an squar
He loved her best-as beau.
To Squire Orchards dance that night,
Twelve mile across the snow.
Now, both on us wur kinder sweet
On Tilda, that's fact;
But we wus pards, an allus wurked
Upon the self-same tract;
And me an Jim we greed as how
Our eyes warn't better blacked,

Warn't like what it was cracked.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
Summer. you're little lateI
Nearly every rose is fed;
Many a maiden has her mate.
To the altar safely led,
Hearts or moneybags to wed.
Though we've had SO long to wait,
You can paint the country red
Fer your season all is sped.

Casters History.

,4..--.-- The variation of the date upon
o. which Easter falls is to many source
.r.is, of wonder They do not understand
-, 10 why it should be as early as March
' Co.; ~" 2Sth or as late as April 25th.
L. Easter Sunday comes this year on
April 21st. Easter Day is always the
49,. first Sunday after the full moon
MsE: upon or next after March 21st,
. III O and if the full moon happens upon a
. Sunday Easter Day is the Sunday
70: after. This is the ruling which regu-
- lates Easter, called by the church the
70 I: q. Festival of the Resurrection, originally
the Festival of the Passover the pass
90. over including the whole period be-
tween the cruciixion of Christ and his
81 = resurrection. Originally there was a
son ii feast of the Lextonic goddess Ostera,
the goddess of spring, whence comes
= = our ADglo-Saxon Easter. The festival
a. ~ ~ was introduced by preparatory fasting.
Some tasted one some two, some forty
hours, that is the forty hours during
which Jesus was supposed to have been
~ ~ =, a tenant of the tomb. Later the time
~ ~ was extended to forty days, in imita-
ton of Christs fast of forty days in the
g 81 ~ wilderness. Hence came Lent, which
in its present form, embracing period
81 &c of forty days, cannot be traced back
beyond the end of the sixth century.
