NEW YORK, June I3.-The ex-com-
mittee of the Clan-na-Gael or United
Brotherhood of America met last night
and decided that Maroney and Nc
Donald should be kept in New York if
possible by any form of law. All the
members did not meet together. Some
were reached by telegraph and the
Hon. Patrick Egan, who Is on the
ocean, was not of course reached. The
meeting is said to have been held in
Philadelphia, and those alleged to
have been present are Thomas Ronayne
of % Beekman street, New York:
Thomas Tienney of 112 Bay street,
Brooklyn; j, J. Bradley of 1921 Chest
nut street, Philadelphia; E. o Meagher
Condor of the New York Press club,
and John w. Leonard of Fall River,
Massachusetts. The meeting may not
have been held in Philadelphia, but on
good authority it is alleged to have
been held there. They are anxious
about Maroney because the British
government wants him. Senator John
Sherman has bill in the senate which
would, if it became law, hand Ma
roney, alias Melville, over to British
justice. 1t is the desire of the Gamma
Gael to get Maroney free and out OF
the Way.

A few days ago n horse attached to az
express wagon went racing past the
Grand Pacific. The animal had evil
IDENTIFY beer feeding and became fright
cned, for he had no bit in his mouth and
his bride hung.on his neck. As the run
away rushed furiously across Clark
street and west on jackson a young lad
jumped forward, caught the tailboard of
the wagon and climbed in. lie had no
SOON got there than the vehicle struck
a cab and careened sufficiently to throw
the boy out. Ho picked himself up
quickly and climbed back once more into
the wagon. While the horse was still
running mt full speed the boy ventured
out on to the shafts, reached the horses
head and managed TO stop the animal
just before Fifth avenue wa reached.
Two policemen stood on tho corner of
jackson and Clark and saw the horse
u by, but made only slight efforts to
check him. For all this one of the bold
bluecoats said to the other: ''That was a
brave attempt you made to stop that
horse, Jim; your life was in danger
every minute" That's true, Dan, that's
true; and l new would have had the
courage TO do what l did had 1 not seel
tho bravery you showed first. 1t was
your example that gave me the grit"

This volume of "Readiana" Is full of
excellent material for an estimation of
tho character of Charles Reade. His
catholicity of feeling, his hatred Of cant,
his high sense of justice, his sympathy
with the suffering and poor, are shown
from first TO last in his writings ms well
as in his life. What would have struck
you next If you had known him well,
vas tho difference between Mr.. Reade at
home and Mr.. Reade in print. Call upon
him. He would receive you with tho
g~entleness of n saint mot that | pretend
ever to have known n saint, but you will
appreciate the slmilc), talk to you with
singular modesty, listen to you with the
greatest respect, ask you to dinner, or to
TAX n cup of tea MS one who receives n
favor by your acceptance, and you would
have gone away thinking of him as the
mildest, sweetest, most long suffering
gentleman you had ever met. But give
him n grievance, tamper with his rights,
tread ON his moral corns, then put n pen
in his hand, and you would find him n
writer of thoughts that breathe, of words
that burn indeed. Not, my friends, that
l ever experienced his wrath. On the
contrary, he was always kind and SYM
pathetic toward me. He DOL me by
the hand, and said CHEEKY words of wei
como TO me when l camo 10 London,
some twenty years ago. We met for
the first time at the inaugural dinner of
The Belgravia Magazine. We were in
troduced to each other by Miss Braddon.

Making . Picture MIndou.

The search for material ended, the
work of construction may begin. Two
duplicate copies Of the cartoon arc first
made. One operation suficcs to accom-
plish this. The cartoon is laid on a large
table, and beneath 1t arc two sheets Of
similar paper and we sheets of ordinary
black transfer paper arranged alter
nately. BY passing n small revolving
wheel over the outlines Of the cartoon,
the tracings are quickly and accurately
made. Each space is then numbered
correspondingly on both tracings, and
n of them is cut up to make patterns
for the glass cutter. An ingenious dis
secting instrument is used for this pur-
pose. 1t consists of n pair of double
edged shears, which, In cutting, removes
a strip of paper just the width of the
lead which will separate the fragments
OF glass when they are finally bound to-
gether. In this way each pattern is pre-
cisely the size required. When the glass
is ready to be put together in tho win
dow there is very little coaxing to be
done TO get 1t into place.
The picture window has now reached
tho most critical stage in its develop
HlenI Inc paper PATTERNS uTc TO ma
suitable counterparts in glass. and upon
the nicely with which this substitution
is accomplished depends the effect of the
entire work. Nothing is left undone that
will assist tho glass cutter in forming
correct color judgments. Throughout
the entire process, and here particularly,
the work progresses under precisely those
conditions that arc best calculated to
make surprises and in~congruities impos-
sible when the whole shall DO completed.
A sheet of plain glass the size of the
cartoon is laid over tho undissected trac-
ing. Outlines of the intended lead bands
arc then painted on the clear glass in
black lines of corresponding width. On
tho model thus prepared the paper pat
terms are stuck by means of n little wax.
1t is low ready TO be taken to the figure
room, where it is placed directly in front
of n large window, and the slow work Of
substituting colored glass for paper be-
gins. Professor G. IL. Henderson in Pop

The Blind Mems Cafe.

Some years ago in Paris there was a
small restaurant, known rs the Blind
Mems cafe, much frequented by the
blind, where an orchestra of blind must
clans performed for the amusement of
patrons. Ono extremely dark night in
winter, when n thick fog had fallen upon
Paris-so thick that no one could sec his
way, nor 50 much as distinguish n street
lamp ten feet away, N when police
men, carrying torches, here and there
assisted some cropping foot passenger to
find his course-a gentleman, seeing IN
other man walking along confidently
and boldly, ventured to say to him:
''Sir, will you please tell me where
you are goinE?"

man, who was walking with such sure
footsteps.
And how do you find your way 80

"Oh, mover mind; l never get lost. Do
you wish TO follow mey"
Thank you"
So the first gentleman caught hold of
the pocket Of the others overcoat and
started after him. Not n thing could he
descry, but his companion marched con-
fidcntly along. At length the two arrived
under the familiar arches of the Rue de
RiVuli.

The London Telegraph gives an account of
n singular struggle with a bear at the public
gardens at Northampton, Eng. The local
volunteers had been having their annual
sports, terminating with n mimic night Mt
tack. The volleying in the grounds seemed
to have alarmed the wild animals kept there,
and when the keeper entered tho bearpit, one
of the brutes rushed upon him, and knocked
him down.
At once tho man was at the mercy of the
bear, which took its victims head in its
claws, and began to gnaw at his scalp. An
alarm was quickly raised by those who had
seen the man enter, but no one was daring
enough to follow him to attempt n rescue.
An officer drew his sword, and hurled it
down at the bear. Tho point of the weapon
struck the brute, but instead of soaring it
from its prey, onraged it all the more.
At Inst a lieutenant determined to enter
the pit, and taking a rife, with bayonet fixed,
he jumped into the place, and pluckily at
tackled the now thoroughly ferocious brute.
With n powerful thrust, he drove the bayo-
net into the bears shoulder, when, with n
howl of pain, it Immediately released its hold
on the PROSTATE man, and turned upon the
lieutenant, who, however, managed to keep
tho animal ut bay, and finally to drive it to
Che wall by repeated thrusts with his bayonet.
Several persons now entered the pit to
rescue tho keeper, who WINS taken to the in
Urinary, where it was found that he was
seriously injured, his scalp being torn from
the skull in several places. Tho lieutenant
was the last enc to get out of the pit, leaving
tho bear apparently dying from its wounds.

Make n very small hole in each end of
n fresh egg, and, after blowing out the
contents, close end with n bit of seal
ing wax. Cut two pieces of cloth in the
shape of the body of a fish, and sew them
together on the edges, SO as to make a
pointed bag. Put some sand into this
for ballast. The mouth of the bag must
be exactly the size of the egg, which is to
be fastened into it with sealing wax or
glue, to form the head of the fish. Hav-
ing prepared it in this way, paint two
eyes on the egg with black paint, and
the magic fish is ready to be put into n
jar of water. The weight of the sand in
the bag must be such that the fish will
Loaf on the surface if left to itself, but
so that a very light touch will cause it
to sink. Cover the jar tightly with n
piece of india rubber, or any other water
proof flexible substance. When u haud
is laid on the covering the pressure
transmitted to the liquid will cause a
little water to enter the egg, and the fish
will dive; the heavier tho pressure the
moro quickly it will plunge. Remove
the pressure from the india rubber and
the compressed air in the egg will force
it out of the water and the fish will come
to the surface again.-Christian Union.

Tho RUSSIAN Journalist Katkor.

Twenty years ago there still existed in
Moscow tho salon of the Prince and Prin-
cess Odoiefsky, one of tho literary cen
tiers of Russia. Other houses there were
where literary men assembled in groups
and cotcrics. At Katkof's, for instance,
on Sunday evenings, one was sure to find
tho .shrewd and caustic Leontief, Pro-
fcssor Liubimof and his fellow workers
on Tho Moscow Gazette and The Russian
Messenger, some Of tho professors In the
recently established Lyceum, and occa-
s~ionally a passing stranger, from either
north or south, who sympathized with
tho Moscow as distinguished from tho st.
Petersburg school of literature and poll
tics. Katkof, decided as he was in his
political views, was a charming talker on
literary subjects, about which he allowed
more difference of opinion. He was such
a hard worker, especially at night, that
Sunday afternoons and evenings were the
only times when he was visible, as his
Gazette was not issued on Monday

While playing the piano before large

the yast orchestra he was conducting

stand, some Of them with heavy instru-
