Albany, March 10 (speclaD.-After hard fight in
the Assembly tonight the Brooklyn Aldermanic Re-

Assembyman Aspinall, who led the fight for tho Re:
publicans, was opposed by Governor HIPS ex-
perenced obstructionIst Mr. sheehan who fought tho
bill at the head of a solid Democratic force. AS many
Republicans were absent, Mr. Aspinal had hard
struggle but the Republicans held together as firmly
as their opponents, until enough Republicans had como
in to make working majority. Every step. as tho
bill advanced, was bitterly opposed but tho Re
publicans sent 1t to third reading. AS usual on a
debate of this kind Mr. Sheehan lost his head and got
into wrangle with Mr. Gibbs who was presiding,
over the decision of point Of order.
The Telephone bill, changing the rate charged in
Eew-York to 800 year, was also sent to third
reading after brief discussion.
Mr.. Saxton gave notice that be would shortly move

FLOODED CELLARS
Defective Sewers Back Up a Great Lot
of Water in Lafayette.

Defective Sewers Back Up a Great Lot
of Water in Lafayette.
The neighborhood of Pine street at the
rear of Boynton's foundry, near the Cen
trail Railroad cut, is atioat. From pres
emit indications that part of Lafayette
will shortly pack up and float out to sea.
Cellars there are flooded to the depth of
three feet or more.
The cellar of the corner house, No. 253,
is a floating brewery. Patrick Walsh
keeps a saloon on the corner and stores
his ales, wines and liquors down below.
That house and two or three others adj
Joining belong to Mr.. Neville, who lives
in the real of one of them.
Neville employed three men a few days
ago to bail out the cellars, but when they
finished there was 10 improvement.
Walsh's business is ruined and the ten
ants in the house are preparing to vacate.
This state of affairs is attributed TO de
fective sewers and unless something is
done speedily to remedy the defect the
health of the jewellers III that neighbor-
hood will be likely to suffer.

AN AMERICAN BUDDHIST.
CURIOUS CHANGE OF FAITH BY A
MATURE MIN.


His Reception Into the Faith of Asia
Ii Hymn Book Slot Machine-Equi-
1ibrium of the Two Sexes.
Recent Ceylon papers contain ac-
counts OF q remarkable ceremony
which took place recently in Colombo.
This was the reception of a gentleman
from America, who lately arrived in
Ceylon, into the Buddhist creed. The
proceedings took place under Il
direction of the Buddhist high priest,
assisted by eleven yellow robed
monks. The convert knelt before a
assembled priests and intimated ms
desire to be admitted a member OF Inc
of the Buddhist Church. The high
priest then c~atechised him and the as
sembled monks satisfied themselves
that he was fitted to be a follower o.
Buddha. The gentleman, whose
name was Powell, then begged OF the
high priest ''to give him the Pansll,
which the latter did, the candidate
repeating it after him with the palms
of the hand brought together uplifted.
Having explained to the convert the
responsible duties of a Buddhist, the
high priest gave him his blessing. a
meeting was afterwards held, at which
Mr.. Powell explained his reasons for
having embraced Buddhism, and de-
scribed the mental process which he
had gone through before he arrived at
the conviction of its truth.
ut appears that nearly forty years
ago, when he was a child he came
across a book in his fathers library,
in which w9s a picture. 1t was the
figure of Buddha seated in the con-
ventional attitude of a lotus. I'M
pressed by the expression OF peace and
love on the face, Mr.. Powell got into
the habit of going nearly every ever
ing to a room to sit in q position as
nearly like it as he possibly could.
On asking who or what picture 1t
was,' Mr.. Powell said. i was told that
it was a picture of a heather god, but
its chung to me, and when
heard it's name l never forgot it, but
learned later what the symbol was
and it's meaning Being, as he said,
naturally of a religious turn of mind,
and being intended by his father to
be a clergyman, Mr.. Powell was well
educated in the Christian doctrine.
But | recognized and felt that there
must be some law that | could work
out myself, and that if | controlled
my thoughts my life manifested an
obedience to that power; but it was
long before | recognized that this was
the law of right thought" AT one
time he appears to have sought a
refuge in agnosticism, but soon after
he abandoned this mental attitude.
and a perusal of 1.-The Light of Asia"
aroused in him the desire to take
refuge in the law of Lord Buddha--

Annie's Little Lie.

IN LlUtle Lie.
The confession of Annie Green, the
young Kearney fakir who simulated
Inconsistencies after a days absence
with $50 belonging to her father, gives
rise to no end of interesting specula-
ton.
One can understand a robbery that
can bring profit to the thief. If this
foolish girl had contemplated aban-
doning her home, the money might
have served an end, but then she
would not have spent it in the way
she did. What did the riches and dis
play of the day avail her with the
terrors that faced her on her return to
her home at nightfall {? She could not
have looked beyond the end of her
nose in her absurd speculation. The
detective who, after visiting her, de-
clared her to be an idiot and her story
untrue could not have been far wrong.
Her long sustained stimulation OF
Inconsistencies may indicate a GER
tain self-control and shrewdness that
are against the detectives theory, and
they may not. A perfectly sane per-
son could not but have been amused
at the alarm she had created and the
care she was receiving and the specu-
lation she had aroused, and in her
amusement have done something to
lead to exposure. II couldn't have
escaped laughing in that doctors
face" is the commentary of the
women. Could they not have helped
laughing2
They might not if they had put on
the mask for amusement. But il they
were haunted by the consciousness of
a terrible crime; if they were playing
part to hide guilt, and knew that a
disgraceful exposure and a just pun
ishment were to be the results OF
failure to play it well. Here was this
child borne down by the conscious
ness as she approached her home OF a
great crime against her parents. The
carer she got to the gate the greater
the crime grew in her imagination.
Beyond the remorse which she might
have felt was the fear of severe pun
ishment. She was in no laughing
humor when she threw herself on the
boards in her fathers yard to await
discovery, and fear repressed natural
merriment as the play proceeded. So
it was easy enough for her to be sober
as the central figure of the amusing
situation.
Nature doubtless helped her to fit
her conduct to the demands OF her
part. Fear and excitement and shame
and a haunting conscience must have
brought on something in the nature
of hysteria, and it is easy enough to
believe that she was quite as sick and
bewildered when under the eyes OF
her parents and physicians as h
seemed to be. When she had been
spanked and forgiven and cried over,
she probably began to take the nor
NAL view of the thing, and will doubt
less remember the affair as a mighty
good joke on those whom she fooled.
The experience will doubtless be a
good lesson to her. If she is a reason
ably wise girl, it will be a beacon
light to keep her from the rocks OF sin
during all the rest of her life.

shame.

OF all the contemplate wretches
that an inscrutable Providence ever
permitted to live. it seems to us that
the men who played the leading roles
in a little drama at Paterson on Sun
day night are the worst.
A husband, suspicious of his wife
whom he had driven from his home at
the mouth of a pistol, furnished his
clerk with money to lay seige to the
woman's heart and inveigle her into
marital infidelity, with the ultimate
purpose that she should be caught
Fagromte deJictu by the injured"
husband.
The purpose was accomplished. The
clerk took the woman to a hotel at
Paterson, where they registered as
husband and wife. The real husband
and a friend also took rooms there. In
the middle of the night they broke
into the room of the guilty couple.
The usual row followed. The clerk
went away by himself and the un-
lOIbulldU0 WOLi1A q VNROh oOaAO w
her parents, overwhelmed with
shame.
Well, she was an erring creature,
and the world must in self-defense be
duly condemnatory of her behavior.
Neither can the right of a husband to
detect the infidelity of his wife and
secure legal. relief by doubted. But
the abominable sc~oundrelism OF a man
who deliberately sets a seducer upon
his wife, and furnishes him with
money for the infamous pursuit, is
only surpassed by that of the base
wretch who allows himself to be made
the instrument of a woman's ruin.
Fortunately, villainy OF this kind de-
feats itself, and no court will grant a
DIVORCE on the strength of guilt in
Cured on evidence obtained in such q
way.

Wales and His wife.

Stephen Fiske gives a reminiscence
of the Prince of Wales and the st.
James Theatre, London. After the
performance of la Belle Savage the
prince invited Mrs. John Wood into
the room reserved for royalties. She
went in her Pocahontas costume, at
tended by a retinue of four Indians,
and the prince, after congratulating
her upon her success, presented her to
his suite as her Royal Highness, the
Princess from Virginia. Upon another
occasion the cZarowitch-now the
czar-of Russia was asked by the
prince whether he remembered having
been at the st. James before. ''Oh,
yes.n said the czarowitch, and began
swaying back and forth and humning
the air of dot Leetle Wee Dog
looking exactly like a huge Russian
bear as he bumped himself for this
performance.
The Princess of Wales went to see
fernando six times. One night she
sent for the Prince to enjoy the end of
the third act, when Mrs. John Wood
and Mrs. Herman Vegin We're on the
stage together. The Prince was just
telling how he had killed q stag in
Scotland. He had the immense ami
NAL at bay; his gun was at his Shout
der. his finger upon the trigger. But,
interrupted by the message of the
Princess, he rose, threw away his Gig
arctic, left the stag unframed, and
proved himself as good a husband as
he was a hunter by going at once to
the royal box. SPIRIT Of the Times.
