1t is understood that the occasion was a
banquet rendered by the Club to Lieutenant
Carlin, who distinguished himself by his
heroism at the time of the disaster to our
fleet IN the hsrbor of Apil. But inasmCch
as the representative OF the AitH who pre-
sented the foregoing invitation last evening
was treated with less courtesy than is
usually accorded TO a flunky, and left to
stand, without even the convenience of a
chair to sit on or j table 10 wrise at, he very
properly left. The 4hd is therefore unable
to give report OF the proceedings, or 10
assert positively that the distinguished
gentleman in whose honor the banquet was
rendered, accepted the invitation and was
present.
In future, when the Bohemian Club de-
sires q description in this paper OF the
manner in which il entertaiGs any dis
tinguished guest it might be advisable for
the club to have one Of its members write
report of the proceedings, which will be
published at the AHa'S usual advertising
rates. In that way it can save It's COM
mittee the trouble OF writing useless invi-
tatiOns which its officers refuse to reCog-
niza. and its revenues the unnecessary ex-
penditure Cf two cents Tor Il postage stamp,
besides avoiding the Offering Of 4 gratui-
tous Insult to representatives. Of this paper
who, in all that goes to make up whaU is
included in the term gentleman, claim
to be at least the equals Of any member OF
the Bohemian Cluo
The peculiar action of the Bohemian
Club on this occasion IS the more remark
able from the fact that lis President is a
well-known newspaper man, who might
be presumed 10 know something of the
courtesies due to other gentlemen engaged
in the same profession.

TIE INTERSTATE LAW.
Supervision That Does Not supervise-
The Last Feather.
TChicaro Heraldl


What good purpose the interstate com
merce law has accomplished in its two
years of operation it would be dIfficult for
ary man 20 say. II has made great promises,
but neither The people nor the railroad Of
tiCials can point to any distinctive fulfill
ment IN which there has been a shadow
of gain TO either. The railroad managers
have been harassed by supervision that
didnOt supervise; the people have been filed
by the east wind OF promise, while the
miserable stockholders have had nothing
to contem plate but a decrease in earnings,
in surplus, aud in the value Of their
property. Many other causes doubtless,
have been 1T work during the past two
years to depraciate railroad properties
Short crops. adverse legislation in The granger
States, strikes and excessive competition,
have all had something to do with the
general falling off in dividerds TO
stockholders, but the law has also con-
tributed its mile. 1t has been an addi-
tional feather, to say the least, and the
proveTbial effect of the last feather is too
well known for repetition.
The testimony in New T0lk before the
Senatorial Committee has afforded the pub
lie very little light, but what light there is
in ii Is to the effect that the law is OF no
advantage as it now is. 1t must 90 farther,
OF not SO laF. II must eltleF place the
roads under complete Governmental con-
troll, or it must allow the managers free
dom to run them as their interests dictate.
The law belongs to the paternalisjic and
sOcialistic class. 1t is based on the idea
that mankind is still in a state of child
hood, and that Government can take bet
ter care of its citizens than they can of
themselves. 1t is a kind Of law that every
robust American has a natural contempt
for. The railroads have treated it, if not
with contempt, at least with great disregard
whenever their interests seemed at all i'm
periled. In other words, the law has not
been and cannot be enforced if the rail-
roads choose to disobey it. This seems 10
be the sum OF the testimony so far.
If such is the fact, the interstate COM
merce law will be good law for Congress

a Trusting Child.

Trusting Child.
Eugene Field in the Chicago News
al have a brother living out in Kan.
sas City" said Sol Smith Russell vester-
day. His children are great faYorites Of
mine and humor them to the best of my
ability, Of course. These children have
been taught to repose absolute faith in the
efficacy of prayer, and whenever they want
anything very much-a sled, doll. a cart.
or anything of that kind-they ask for it
in their prayers, and in due time the Gov
eted article-the sled, the doll, or the cart
arrives. Well, one wretchedly cold dav
last winter | was in Kansas City, trudging
along Main street with my little niece, and
she importuned me to buy her a box of
candy. Finally l told her I'd buy her a
box of candy if she'd promise not to eat it
until she got home. She agreed to this
and I got her the pound Of sweetmeats.
As we proceeded on our way noticed that
she kept her eyes glued longingly upon the
box of candy which | carried under one
arm. 1t was in vain that / sought to
attract her attention to other objects. Pres
emily she suggested in a naive and ingenu-
Gus tone that she would run, she called it
"wun." OF course / detected in this sug-
gestion an artful ruse to reach home
quickly, in order to dispatch the candy
quickly, and, unwilling to sacrifice my per
sonal comforts as well as my personal dig
nifty to the lusts of that child's stomach. |
replied "Oh, no; it is better that we
should walk
But urged the child, 1t is so told
that it'll do US good to wunp
The pavement is very slippery, said
/, impressivelv. we should certainly fall
down and break our bones
THE child hardly knew what to answer
to this She looked ruefully at me. and
pleadingly at the box of candy; all at
once gleam of relief came over her de-
pressed features. Stopping short in our
walk she put her two little hands up over
her eyes and said in a reverential tone
please, Lord Jesus oh please, make Uncle
Sol wunp
1t was not the Lord alone who heard
that innocent prayer. What was | to do ?
But one thing, and that was to preserve
that child's faith as best ! could. The
Lord answered that prayer instantly, for
he put it into my heart to run. And run
] did-never ran faster nor easier in nv
life. Taking the child by the hand l
started off like the wind, and through the
crowd, up the Hill and over the lev path
way We sped swiftly and securely. People
must have wondered what alIed that
funny mad with the child but | didn't
care. | was helping to answer a prayer Just
then, and when we reached home was
glad-yes, in spite of my exhaustion and
demoralized condition, was heartily glad
that had been an instrument in strength
ening that little ones faith
Ny inner consciousness was all that re-
warded me, however.
"' You couldn't hep yo'se'f, could you,

sat in the big armchair feasting upon car
amels. bod made You wun, didn't he

The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1889-05-29

Addenbrooke was spending the evening
as usual with Lydia at st. Johns Wood.
They were alone together, Mrs. Grey hav-
ing discreetly retired to her own room, and
the talk between them flowed with the
ease of intimacy and affection.
II was now three weeks since their en-
gagement, and already something of Adj
denbrooke's calm happiness was beginning
to be reflected in Lydia's face. She ap-
preciated, what only women can appre-
ciate. the consciousness of making anoth-
er's happiness by the mere fact of her
presence. That is, think, pleasure too
subtle for the masculine palate. Now, as
she laid her hand lightly on his, she en-
joved, as it were, reflection OF the de-
light which she knew herself to be con-
ferring by the act.
Johnny" she said, will you let me
tell you tonight what l have always
meant to tell YOU about myself and-that
other person." She finished her phrase
thus vaguely, not doubling but that Adj
denbrooke had mentally rounded it off
with greater accuracy; somehow her lips
refused to utter the name of Lawrence
Fleming.
"AIy DEAR" he answered gently, tell
me nothing which distresses you. don't
want to know. 1 know you have been
very unhappy, but one day, | assure you,
YOU are going to be happier than ever"
She smiled half sadly. Johnny, let
Inc tell you. / think ! ought. Perhaps,
