4 few evenings since lady who
was giving a little private party was
saying ali manner OF severe things
about the proposed lottery. In the
midstof her pious Indignation, an old
gentleman sitting on the opposite
side Of the table said quietly
"Madam did you not once sell me
two tickets in a church rattle ?"
The woman hesitated, and finally
said.

Clancy cake basket wasn't it?'
She coloTed up and after an en-
barrassed cough said feebly.

"Did the drawing ever come off,
and if SO what was the winning
number?"
Tie lady made strong effort
and said she had forgotten.
The reason l recalled the circum-
stances, continued the old gentle
man blandly, was that | noticed the
cake basket on the table"
And he looked at the aforesaid
piece OF silver in a smiling way
There was a dead silence all
around the table, for several of the
guests remembered having purchas-
ed those same tickets, and they
couldn't remember either, just
when that drawing took place.

Philanthropy or Advertising

"Do good by stealth and blush to find it
fame may have been excellent advice when
Mr.. Pope wrote, but it would require reshap-
ing to bring it into harmony with modern re-
quirements A Yorkshire coal dealer who
has been doing good by stealth on quite an
extensive scale, now has cause to blush at
finding himself fined by police magistrate.
This philanthropic trader owns weighing
machine which gives his customers twenty
one pounds overweight on every hundred
weight. Some time ago his attention was
officially drawn to the fact, and he received
solemn warning that if he continued his sim
full benevolence he would be summoned. A
weighing machine that gives overweight is as
illegal as one that does the other thing, the
law demanding perfect adjustment of bal
ance. This coally Samaritan refused to be-
lieve however, that his stealthy benefactions
were punishable, and SO persisted in adding
the little bonus to every hundred weight of
black diamonds that left his shop A fine Of

H Hastings sent telegram yesterday to the
governor at Harrisburg declaring that an
extra session of the legislature for the pur-
pose of making an appropriation Of $1,000
600 for the relief of the people of Johnstown
was important. Gen. Hastings was at the
wire early last evening, and had a long and
earnest talk with the governor He told him
that in his judgment special session of the
legislature should be called at once He said
he had carefully gone over the situation and
had sought the opinions of others He was
extremely anxious to know how the con-
tributions were coming ill., and said that it
would be necessary to make heavy daily
drafts on whatever amount might be raised
outside in order to keep the work going on.
He said that if the contributions reached a
million it would take that amount to clean
out the city debris.
Wants 81, 900, 900 from the state.
In addition he thought the state should
give S2,0OO,O00. Gen. Hastings told the gov
ernor that if he thought his (Hastings) judg-
ment too high he whuld be glad if Governor
Beaver would come to Johnstown for a day
or two and look it over. After the talk over
the wire with Governor Beaver, Gen. Hast
ing said:
1.-The work that is going on now SO nicely
cannot last longer than week or so, at the
outside, unless the money for conducting it
on a permanent basis is furnished either by
the state or by the people of the United
States"
1t is stated on almost undoubted authority
that Governor Beaver has decided to call an
extra session of the state legislature.
