WASHINGTON, d. G., August 0, 1889,
''What do our Supreme Judges and
Cabinet Ministers and Congressmen
readf'' 1 asked one of our well known
booksellers, one day this week.
"They don't read anything!" he ex-
claimed with sniff OF disgust, pushing
his fingers through his gray hair,
''ro be more accurate and more ex-
plicit,n he explained, .'our law makers do
not read broadly. as the statesmen of
former generations did. They read mar
rowly and confine their reading to certain
limited lanes finance, wages, interest,
heavy ordnance, patents, or what not. I"
The misguided cynie only meant that
the day of brilliant smatterers is past,
and that our states men, like our work
men, are now specialists; they read at a
mark.

An Accepted Invitation.

At the last meeting of the Board of
Trustees of st. Paul's M. f. Church a
resolution was offered to the effect that
the congregation of Centenary M. f..
Church be invited to join in union SER
vices until the repairs and alterations
which are now being made on the latter
are completed. The invitation has been
accepted, 1t is probable that the Rev.
Mr.. Halleron will preach in his own

month, but if he is away the pulpit will
be supplied. This is Communion Sunday
and both congregations will join in re-

been growing very rapidly of late. AT o
recent meeting of the congregation it was
decided to put an extension on the build

will cost about $500. Fourteen feet will
be added to the front of the building,
which will add considerably to the seat
ing capacity of the auditorium on the
second floor, and at the same time enlarge
the school room little. The present APP
pcarance of the front is not very attract

peak of the roof a small square cupOia.
This has been torn out, and the extern

1t will be Gothic in design, with two

The entrance doors will lead into a
vestibule, upon each side of which there
will be built a room which can be used
for committee meetings, or, In fact, may
be put to any other use to which they
may be needed.
The roof will be slated, and when it Is
finished, which will be about the 1st of
October, 1t will be a handsome church

Dled Suddenly in New York.

Miles W. Goodyear, aged 45, manager of tho electrical department of the E. s. Gree ley & Go. at : Dsy street, New York, died very suddenly Sunday morning in Miss Dsvenport's room at No. 58 West Twenty-eighth street. A man named Davenport and his sister Kitty have apartments in the house, and Goodyear and Davenport were old friends. Davenport wa, absent, but his sister Kitty knew Mir. Good. year as her brothers friend, and seeing thai he was sick invited him into her rooms with her at the time were her sister and on other girl, both from Paterson, N. J.
 Soon after entering the apartments of the Davenports Mr. Goodyear became desperate ly i'll. He was eaved from falling by the young women, who wore very much alarmed, but were thoughtful enough to send for { physician. Dr. Freye of No. 60 Madison avenue was summoned to the house, but when he arrived Mr. Goodyear was dead.
 Deceased was son of the late Fowler Goodyear of Hamden and . half brother of l.. F. Goodyear of this city, the naanufaotur- or of axles, on State street. He was an ac- tive Freemason, and leaves . wife and two daughters, who reside in New York. It Is supposed that he died from heart failure.
 Mr. Goody ear was a native of New Haven. He was partner in the business of which General E. 8. Greeley of this city is head. He was admitted three years ago, when he was put in charge of the electrical depart. ment. For IA years before that he had worked for the same concern. He was prac- tically the manager of the Dey street store. He leaves wife and two daughters in New York.
 As soon ss the death was reported at the Thirtieth street station Policeman Sahulks, the old boxing instructor of the Seventh Regiment, was sent out to make an investi- gation of the death. He found that MT. Goodyear had spent the night at the bath house.
 Soon after leaving there he was taken faint and repaired to the residence where he diad

Porous Waterpro0AnE.

A porous waterproof cloth is tho best for outer garments during wet weather for those whose duties or labor cause them to psrspire freely. The best way for preparing such cloth is by the process adopted for the tu- pics of the French soldiers during the Cri- mean war. It is as follows: Take two and a half pounds of alum and dissolve in ten gallons of boiling water; then, in a separate vessel, dissolve the same quantity of sugar of lead in ten gallons of water, and mix the two solutions The cloth is now well han dled in this liquid until every part of tt,is penetrated, then it is squeezed or dried ID the air or in a warm apartment, then washed in cold water and dried again, when 1t is lit for use, If necessary, the cloth may be dipped in tho liquid and dried twice before being washed. The liquid appears curdled when the alum and lead solutions arc mixed together. This is the result of double de- composition, and sulphate of lead, which is an insoluble salt, being formed. The sul- pbate of lead is taken up in the pores of the cloth. and it is unaffected by rain or nois- ture, and yet it does not render the cloth air- tight. Such cloth is also partly inhamma- bie. A solution of alum itself will render cloth, prepared as described, partially water proof, but it is not so good as the sulphate of lead. Such cloth-cotton or woolen- sheds rain like the feathers on the back of a duck. As to cost, alum is three cents per pound, and sugar of lead about twenty cents per pound, and doubtless each could be had for less in quantities. Experience will tell the amount of liquor necessary for, say, . score of capes; but any way, the process will be found to be sufficiently inexpensive and effectual.

His operations as Faro - Now nope
 Isssly Insane.
 CtNcrNNArr. O., Dec. 16.-The case of oeorre Sluthour of New Philadelphia. O., is one of the nest remarkable on record as il- lustrstIpe the ups and downs in e mans career. Sluthour was born and bred in that quiet town. He was poor boy, and started West about fifteen years ago bent on making his fortune. Ordinary svocations that he found open he considered too slow. Even competence could be acquired only afte' years of toll. He determined to make bold stroke without regard to the character oi tho calling and embarked in the faro bust ness. Luck was with him from the very start. In an incredibly short time he accum ulatsd $500,000. He aimed only at higt game. His associates were congrsssmen leading politicians and nearly all the nsbob' of the day.
 Sluthour's ambition was to be . million afro. He concluded to double his pile be. fore returning to his old home. He nad tackled all the big games between Oincin' natl and Omaha, and with almost uniforH success. One night when the most brilliant sporting club room in Cincinnati was filled with well-known men about and men out of town many of them worth half million sluthour concluded to make e big strike The table was piled up with blue chips Thousands of dollars changed hands every deal. The fickle goddess again favored him and by o'clock in the morning he had broken the bank. He had raked in enough to make his fortune count cool million. He would have done wisely to have stopped there. but with the gamblers fatuity he thought his wonderful luck would follow him and that he could double the million.
 The very next night he was found before the dealer again. After the first turn of the cards he began losing and before morning every dollar he had won the night before had vanished. He was @ millionaire, however for ono short day. Even with this heavy loss he was still possessed of an ample fortune but he now played 8 desperate game. Hs but his luck had turned. In a week his princely fortune had entirely disappeared. Now came time for reflection. His former wealthy associates ono after another fell away from him. He found himself among the ''brace" gamblers willing to accept anything from bean lunch to @ white chip.
 The sad sequel to the story is that he ha, bssn brought home hopelessly insane. It was hoped by his friends that the scenes and faces of his boyhood days would restore his shattered brain in degree, but he grew gradually worse. The past few weeks he has wandered aimlessly about the streets. He last 1t was found necessary to take him to the county inhrmary, whore he is now confined in the insane ward. He almost continually raves over former exciting scenes in gilded gambling hells. His intellect is gone and his ultimate recovery is almost hopeless.
