children really believe, and therefore Christ
holds little children and their childlike ways
DEAR"
II. The Rich Young Man.
The time and place are practically the same
as in the case of Christ blessing little children.
The object of this paragraph is to answer the
question, What is one to do in order to secure
eternal life? The questioner was rich young
man. Christ answered. One should read in
addition to st. Marks account ST. Matt, 10: 16
-22. and st. Luke, Is: 1928.
The address, Good Master (V. III, was pc
culiar. 1t was not acceptable to Christ He
disapproved of all adulatiOn or fiattery; of all
unmeaning titles; of mere formal personal
epithets uttered simply to tickle vanity. (Com-
pare ST. Matt, 1877, s.; st. John, B: p Titular
addresses in Christs time were carried to great
excuses, and his aim was to hit timely blow
at such foolishness.
In sense Christ's humanity was distinct
from his Deity. Christ as human only could
not be styled absolutely good Whenever ado
ration or religious veneratiOn is intended in the
word good it is to be applied to the Deity alone.
Ii the people could not look on Jesus as God,
they must II consistent, cease to apply to him
the divine title, good If they allowed his d.
vinity they might address him as the Good.
In the account by St. Matthew (19: 10y We
have the question, what good thing shall do
that may have eternal life?" The Rabbis
had divided duties into many classes, some
more important than others. A student be-
came lost in the nice distinctions. All did not
agree as TO that which was most weighty. The
young man wanted Christ's opinion.
The answer of Christ was, Keep the Com
mandments The 9Th, 9TH. sth, 9th and 9Th are
mentioned. They all relate to our duties to
mankind
The young man had in way kept all the
Commandments but he had not made right
e0usness first no had not cousecrated his
wealth to charity; he had not followed Christ.
He lacked one thing. And even when his at
tention was brought to the matter he could not
consent to become entirely a Christian

Fellow Officers and Members
Tonight is the second anniversary of our As
sociation. The object for which it was organ
lied was very evidently good one. 1t was
for the purpose of aiding those members who
are possessed of limited means, and I for one
have enjoyed the privileges of its purpose in that
direction and fully believe, contrary 10 what
others may think and say, that il is beneficial
organization, ald can therefore but say God
speed its prosperity.
Tonight also brings to an end the arduous
but pleasant duties Of your officers. The man
ner in which they have conducted the business,
whether satisfactory or not, remains tor you to
say. For your kindness in electing me to this
bonored position last year, and for your co-opera.
ton, which assisted me in performing the duties
of said Office, / must thank you, and allow me
to say to that position kind farewell.
The Treasurer will now read his annual re-
port, after which you will elect your officers.

year, the loans aggregated $1760O secured by
SO shares of stock and first mortgage on valu-
able real estate. The stock paid in at the close
of the second year amounts to $12, 900, showing
net increase from fines and premiums of $500
during the two years-a very gratifying condi-
tion of finances.
Nominations were then declared in order for
President and Mr.. George W. Saxon was unani-
mously elected. A committee consisting of
Messrs. T. J. Roberts and J. A. Pearce escorted
the newly elected President to the chair, upon
taking which. he said
GENTLEMEN: Upon accepting the Office to

THE NEW WIFE.
She Gave the Old Man an Awful
Fright.


Old man Bill Buggs had for some time been
widower for the second time. He grew tired of
single cussedness, and as be is so ugly none of
the Tallahassee girls would have him. The old
man grew desperate and advertised in matri.
monial paper of Chicago for wife, Ere long
he received q dainty missive through the mail.
Itcontained the photo of witching, black-eyed
maid who wanted home. and did not require
youth and beauty in a husband. 1t did not take
them long to fix up matters, and now she is
queen at the old mans country residence. Bill
was delighted with his third draw in the matrimo-
nial lottery. She is domestic and quite handy
about the house, comelY of person, and Of nat
urally happy disposition. but what worries Bill
is that she will not breathe one word of who or
what she was before becoming Mrs. Buggs. The
old man is somewhat superstitious, is firm be-
lever in witches, ghosts, spirit rappings, etc..
and his wltes silince as to herself tore him all
up in the mind.
The other night Bill awoke with start A
shadowy form was fitting around his couch, and
in its Outstretched hand was some vessel in
which burned a ghostly blue flame. By the light
of the blue and mystic fire Bill saw that the
shadowy form was that Of his new wife She
was repeating in soft, solemn tone words that
Bill could not understand. His heart thumped
loudly against his ribs He felt as if he were
shrinking smaller and smaller. His eyes rolled
and he tried to draw in his head as would a go
pher. Was his new wife witch of which he
had read so much ? Was she working some
unearthly charm about him? What was he to
do? The mystic fire came nearer his face Now
it was Immediately over his head He thought
he saw long blue tongue of flame leap down
ward as if to consume his pent-up breath. He
gave vent to a fearful yell, Strengthened out
with such force that the foot-board of the bed
was shivered into pieces. and lesped out and into
corner where he shivered and moaned.
whats the matter you old fool ?" screamed
Mrs Buggs, almost as much frightened as he.
"Oh, please don't witch-craft me" moaned
Bill "Pll do anything I'll give you deed to
the farm. I'll buy you new bombazine dress
Oh I'll do anything if you'll only put out that in
fernal ghost fire and let me alonep
''Shut up, you old crack-headed idiotl Come
right here and nail this bedsead together again"
snapped Mrs. Buggs "If you had the sense OF
dead frog you would have known that was
only burning camphor to get rid of these blamed
mosquitoes. Wiich-craft indeed, what do you
suppose know of such thngsY'
"Oo-oo-oo," puffed Bill. Il wasn't scared
You spilled some Of that fire down my neck
that's all what was the matter with me-"

minutes, the first intimation of
it being the falling of the
burning timbers Of the roof, which
fell down thorough the skylight,
crushing everything beneath it as it
fell. The frightened guests, bare
headed and in party apparel, jumped
through open windows and fled through
back doorways to the surrounding
grounds, which were wet with heavy
rains. A number of gentlemen in the
smoking room up stairs were cut
off from the main stairway, and made
narrow escape down the servants stair
way. The entire scene was one of con-
fusion and fright Ladies ran through

was taken out from the ground floor,

returning home Tuesday night, he was
met by highwaymen, who robbed him
of $50. When the doctor was released,
he became furious. AS he was not
armed, he picked up stones and clubs
and pelted the highwaymen. He was

Decision on a Vexed Montana
Question.


WASHINGTON, May 24.-Assistant At
torney General Shields has rendered an
opinion, in response to the secretary of
Montana, as to whether the cOnstitu-
tional convention which meets at Helena
on the 4th day Of July next shall be
limited to one set of officers, as Is al
lowed by law, to each body of legisla-
tive assemblies, The secretary of Mon
tana. in his communication, states that
as the number of members in this as
sembly will he double the num-
ber of both legislative assemblies,
it will require additional help. and
he desires to know II such
additional help will be allowed by the
government. The assistant attorney
general, in his opinion. says that. al
though the number of members of said
convention might be more than double
the number of members of both legisla-
tive bodies, yet it is only one body,
and he is of the opinion that,
under the laws regulating the
pay and number of subordinate officers
in the legislative assembly in the terri
tories, only one set of officers of the
classifcatiOns described in the act of
June 19,1S7S, can be allowed for said

NEW YORK, May M.-At to-day's
session of the inquest in the case of
Washington Irving Bishop, Mrs. Bishop,
the mother Of the deceased, was called
to the witness stand. She appeared to
be deeply affected. She testified that
on one occasion her son had lain for six
days as if dead. but she held to the be-
lief that he was alive, and on the
seventh day he rose up and was himself
again. This, Mrs. Bishop said, was
when he was boy, and he had had
several similar experiences since. She
further said that he had horror of the
surgeons knife while in these frances,
person explaining this feeling. Wit
he left Philadelphia for New
York on the Saturday preced-
ing his death. Mrs. Bishop said
that her son carried this paper in his
pocket at all times. In full it read:
ITO Physicians and Friends-I forbid
an autopsy Or the use of electricity on
my body, or being put on ice, till my
mother has seen me. or till my mothers
counselor. Col. lngersoll, has seen me-"
She said she saw this paper with him
an hour before he left Philadelphia on
the fatal evening. Although she came
on at once when she was notified of his
illness, they would not let her see him,
but said that the doctors were with him.
She had presentiment that they would
cut him with their knives before they
would let her see him. She argued with
them to no purpose and said: she is
ci nj " N 6n M mr.

ing" she continued, 81 was brought
to the undertaker's and there
shown the body of my murdered
boy. Miss Ida Orme Jones, the poetess,
who has known Bishop fifteen years,
told of trance of Bishops in Cincin-
natl where physicians pronounced him
dead, and of his recovery half an hour
after he had been laid out. Louis
Aldrich, the actor, related the finding
of a prescription in the clothes OF Bishop
which he said DR.. Irwin seized. saying
it was unfit for perusal. The paper
was produced in court by DR.. Irwin, and
found to have no bearing on the case.
DR.. j. Edwin Briggs corrOborated Mrs.
Bishops testimony as to his attend
ance on her son in 1873. and
stated that the doctors who were
with him-Ford and Leech-had pro-
nounced him dead, though he would not
be convinced, having had charge of
similar cases. Mrs. Mary Martinot,
mother of Sadie Martinot. the actress,
stated that Bishop was always in the
habit Of carrying a written warning
about his person, but admitted that she
had not seen such paper within eight
years. Mrs. Mary A. SWEET, of Brook
lyn. told of another instance where
Bishop, fifteen years ago, had gone into
a trance and been thought dead. The
inquest Was adjourned until Monday.
At the next session the experts will be
asked to give their testimony.

den John Grimes, of the Hudson county
penitentiary at Snake Hill, this morn
ing unearthed plot for general de-
livery of the convicts confined in that
institution. The attention of Deputy
Wardens Vollers and Clarke was at
tracted by suspicious conferences of
five long-term prisoners named Butler,
Karmanhaus. Kelliher, Connolly and
Brodell. They reported the case to
Warden Grimes, who ordered rigor-
Gus search of the cells to be made.
In the cells occupied by the convicts
named was discovered nineteen files,
six knives, five saws, ten drills, a pair
of compasses and other articles. The
files were smuggled into the prison
from the outside. and the other tools
were made by convict blacksmith now
at liberty. The five convicts were
brought in from the quarries and
searched. A set of keys made of lead,
found in Buffers pocket. would have
readily opened the doors of the cells
and that of the corridor. The men were
