CHURCH AND SCHOOL MONEY.

Probably not great many people
in town know that away back in
seventeen hundred and something
the original grantors of the town
reserved certain lots of land in diff
ferent localities which cannot be
bought and sold but are always leas-
ed, the money received for rent GO
ing for the support of the several
churches and schools in town. There
are four Ofthese church 1ots-one on
Stowell hill in the Oscar Brown dis
trict; one in the Bradley and Stark
neighborhoOd and one in Paddock
village. The rents for these lands
amount to $76.49 yearly, and di-
vided among IA churches gives about
$5.46 to each. The school lands
rent for $50 year and the Catholic
cemetery is on this land Some of
this land being in a thickly settled
part of Paddock village there are
many lessees, and the rents paid by
quite a number of persons amount to
only % cents apiece. The minister
al money is divided at a certain dav
in each March by statute law. The
school money must be divided be-
tween the second and fourth of July,
thus giving a chance to dodge the
Sabbath

O'Brien in prison, Lord Mayor Sexton, who
presided, announced that a memorial had been
signed by four archbishops, and majority of
the bishops of Ireland, calling upon the gov
eminent to discontinue proceedings which en-
danger Mr.. O'Brien's life and imperils public
peace. Messrs. Davitt and Healy made violent
speeches to the same effect Mr.. Edward
Leamy, MP, urged the boycotting of all per-
sons who attended the unionist banquet on the
previous night.

men shot AZ il. 1t fell and Mr.. Morrison said
he had shot il about eight feet from the ground
and that il had been killed by his bullet. His
companion insisted that il was his shot that
had brought down the game and that it was
thirty feet from the ground when it was hit.
After few minutes of argument they started
after the duck, and as they returned Mr.. Nor
rison had il in his hand. But he still argued
in rather violent manner that the duck was
but eight feet from the ground when it was
shot and that his bullet had brought it down.
The second German thereupon spoke to the
first. '.You say dots Bill Morrison's bruder?"
he asked
Yes, dots him." was the reply.
No, it isn't" said the other. "If dot was
Bill Morrisons bruder he don't give a tam
whether dot duck been tree feet or tirty feet
from de ground-so long as he got de duck"
Not long ago the Hon. Matthew Stanley
Quay started for Florida. Before his depart
ure he gave to the two press associations a for
NAL notification that he would oppose the ap-
pointment to Office of any one who applied to
him for an Endorsement before March 4. The
reason for the announcement is to be found in
the enormous proportions that Senator Quay's
mail was beginning to assume before he went
away. He was receiving at the time he left
Washington about 100 letters day. written by
Otfice-seekers. They came from every part of
the union. He received one from Oregon the
day before his departure addressed to 1.-THE
Hon. Senator Col. Matthew Quay, esq.," 1t was
written by an entire stranger. That capped
the climax. He issued his pronunciamento on
that. His mail has not sensibly diminished
but his announcement will give him excellent
excuse hereafter for getting rid of bores and
those to whom he owes nothing. and will not
prevent him attending to his friends.

Fancy Costumes for Men.

EMBROIDERY on wAIsTCoATs AND TROUSERS
WILL TINsEL BE USED?
From the New York Sun.
The very latest importation from Paris in
dress waistcoats is foundation of white corded
silk. embroidered very deliberately with white
silk and pearl beads. Only half dozen Of
these ornamental garments are at present in
the city, but all waistcoats for evening wear
may be very handsomely wrought in silk en-
broidery. White corded silk. white satin, and
marseilles are the most popular materials used
in their construction, but black vests also elab-
orately embroidered are worn.
Trousers have narrow line about three
eighths of an inch wide, embroidered up the
outside seam. in the same close fine stitches
used on the waistcoats.
So great severity of style has prevailed
among the garments designed for men that
now at the first opportunity they eagerly avail
themselves of every privilege permitted. and
each man who can afford it affects the dressy
waistcoat and makes off with the embroidered
trousers with great enthusiasm.
1t is rumored that later on tiny cord of
gold is to embellish the outer seam of the con-
ventional trousers, and man can enjoy the
distinction and glory of tinselled uniform
without being expected to offer himself as
target for the bullets of savages at the SUCCESS
ton of the Secretary of War. If these innova-
tons are the first steps toward revolution in
the somber funereal fashion of insisting on
mans dressing like an undertaken or his own
butler, they will be very gladly welcomed.

Emin Pasha's Varied Career.

From the New York Tribune.
The following particulars of Emin Pasha are
said at Vienna to be absolutely accurate. His
grandfather, Joseph Schnitzer, emigrated from
Krzepice, in Poland, to Oppein, in Prussan
Silesia, and there married the daughter of Herr
Pappenheim. Jew. known for his learning
and piety. Emin Pasha's father married Frau
lein Pauline Schneider, the daghter of a Jew
ish banker established at Neisse. Isaac, alias
Edward Schnitzer, who is now Emin Pasha,
went at the age Of three with his parents to
Neisse where his father died in 1915. His
mother afterward married Christian and her
self embraced the Christian faith. 1t is not
known for certain whether her son turned
Christian also, or even whether later on he be-
came Mussulman but it is considered likely,
as he married relative of the pasha of Janina
He was regimental physician in the equatorial
province under Gordon Pasha in 1870 and was
entrusted with missions to the rulers of Uganda
and Unyoro, which he discharged to GOrdon's
entire satisfaction. He was appointed by the
latter to be governor of HIATT ell Estiya, in the
equatorial province. In 1878 the rank of hey
was conveyed upon him and he was made gov
ernor of Lado. He was there at the time of
Gordon's death but left in April, 1885. Shortly
afterward he withdrew to Wadelai. The last
direct news received from him was in 1887
