He Didn't Mean to Insult Anybody, and
May Write Letter.
Bishop Potter was asked by United
Press reporter this morning what he had
to say about the fierce criticisms the fol-
lowing passage in his sermon at st. Pauls
Church ON Tuesday has brought FORTH
We have exchanged Washingtons dignity for
Jeffersonian simplicity, which is only another
term for Jacksonian vulgarity.
The Bishop said:-"I have heard of the
criticisms, but have read none of them as
yet"
at is claimed in some quarters that
you insulted the President and attacked
the Republican party"
81 certainly did not intend to insult or
attack anyone. 1 cannot make any ex-
PLANTATION just now, but it, on reading the
criticisms / think it necessary, will do
so over my own signature"
The Bishop pooh-poohed the idea that
he objected to Archbishop Corrigan being
selected to pronounce the benediction at
the Sub Treasry
'The Archbishop and myself" said
Bishop Potter, "are on the most aniable
terms, and esteem him highly"

She Never Gave Him Treats and He Stole
Pennies From Her.

George Herman. a twelve year old boy,
was arraigned for sentence for larceny be-
fore Judge Lippincott this morning. The
complaint that caused his arrest
was made by his mother,
a strapping big woman She said
that he sometimes stole pennies from
her and she could not control the boy.
Every one in the court room smiled at
this when they looked at her size and
apparent strength.
"Do you ever buy the boy candies and
goodies, such as other boys have, some
time?n asked the Court.
''Oh, no, sir; never do" she replied, in
manner that indicated she felt insulted.
"Do you want the boy sent to the Re
form SCHOOL,"
The woman did not reply at once and
the Judge said further, "Do you want to
pay costs in this case and take the boy
home?"
81 can't say until see my husband"
she replied.
.'You may have until next Saturday to
make up your mind, /" the Court said, and
added, parents ought never to make a
complaint against their children until it
becomes an absolute necessity"

SHE FRIGHTENED HIM.
How Mrs. Harmon Took Rat Poison to
See Whether Mike Loved Her.


See Whether Mike Loved Her.
A young man out of. breath and with
tears running down his face, rushed into
the Hoboken police station at one o'clock
this morning. He was Michael Harmon,
of No. II Madison street. Between his
gasps for breath he told Roundsman
Hayes that his wife was dying; she had
taken heavy dose Of "Rough on Rats. !"
He implored the Roundsman to go to her
assistance.
Dr. Simon was called up and he ran
around to the house, up to the top floor,
and opened the door leading to the bed
room. A pretty blonde, about twenty
years old, was sitting up in bed, laughing.
Instead of using stomach pump DR..
Simon felt inclined to use tie back of
hair brush or an old slipper.
Mrs. Harmon, who was jealous, had
pretended to take rat poison, in order to
see whether Mike would be frightened.
They are all right now and as happy as
they were at their wedding two years ago.

around them. Three of them were males,
one a female and the fifth babe.
The skull of the female is in good
state of preservation, and those who have
made careful measurements of it say that
it shows that the person belonged to the
lowest type of humanity. ArchRologists
say that the measurement shows inferior
ity even to the celebrated Neanderthal
skull. These bones are declared to be the
most perfect of any remains of the mound
builders yet discovered.

Mrs. Southworth's Unpaid Labor.

f1ttspurg Dispacn, washington Letter.
In the national library few days ago came
across stack of bound volumes Of newspapers
as high as ones head almost. Among them
were the volumes of the National Era, covering
the period from 1s47 to 1860. 1t was for this
magazine that Mrs. Southworth, at that time
young teacher in the city schools Of Washing
ton, wrote the first Of the stories that made her
famous. It may not be without interest to
young writer's Of the present day to know that
Mrs. Southworth wrote continuously for two or
three years without receiving one cent of pay.
and that the first compensation she did receive
was at the rate of 81 per column, which was
the current price at that time After q time
she was engaged by Henry Peterson to write
for the old Saturday Evening Post, and for
long time she wrote regularly for the two. run
ming story in each alternately. OF late years,
until very recently, she has written exclusively
for Bonner's Ledger, but of the sixty-seven
novels coming from her pen, she never wrote
line upon yearly salary.

CHAPTER III.

Captain Walton found, when he arrived at
Irkham, that Gore House was not easy to dis
cover. The address, as he had received il from
Ada, must have been incomplete, though the
omniscience Of the postman had insured the
safe conveyance Of his letters. He could tell
the cabman to whose care he intrusted himself
what district of the town it was in, but for the
rest he had to trust to that claimants knowl-
edge, which was found wanting, and the chap
ter Of accidents. Happily this brought to their
aid one OF the said omniscient postmen to
whom the cabman appealed for guidance.
Gore House why, it's at the end of Gore
Turn of Cambridge street at the end of Rush
ton lane, and then take the first turn to the
left"
The name struck with painful familiarity
on the ear Of the traveller, but he mentally
echoed his drivers exclamation:
There! There's no Gore house of Rush
ton lane that knows off,
They called 1t that after Gore street was
built" exclaimed the postman. 'It's the house
that used to be called Wrexham lodge"
II know where you are now!" exclaimed the
cabman driving on, but Walton covered his
face with his hands.
"Wrexham lodge!" he said to himself. Sand
Ada's in tin that house Of all places in the
world"
He forced himself to seem calm when he
reached the mouse ana got out. His arrival
was unexpected, for he had come to Irkham q
day sooner than he intended, and the house
maid who opened the door for him did not
know exactly what to do with him. So she left
him in the hall while she went up to Ada
boudoir to consult her mistress.
'Show him into the drawing-room, of
course" said Mrs. Baggallay. "Ada, you'd
better 60 and receive Captain Walton yourself. i"
If You like" said Ada, "but can't bear to
go into the drawing-room just yet; the idea Of
It IL too dreadful. May bring him up here2
/ don't feel any horror Of this room, and, il
ing"
just a. you like, though it's rather small.

therefore, they did not care to risk coming in
contact; and such anxieties could not befall
her. Besides. she liked her roomy house, which
was so much larger than it seemed from the

house, and gave easy access to the sloping

that Ada was trying to get rid of the time that
now hung heavy on her hands.

the woman by her side uttered sharp exclama-
