Il il announced that large block OF
stock in the Congo railroad has been taken
in this country. II this means business
and is not a moro speculation there seems
no reason why the United States shonld
not share in the advantages 10 be derived
from opening up the interior of the Dark
Continent The Congo drains one OF the
richest countries in the world The pro-
sess Of its development will demand for
years the exchange of manufactured goods
for raw material, and who can say that
with American money at stake in the Congo
railway enterprise the result may not be to
give great impetus to our shipping into
rests? The Southbs forging ahead in the
manufacture of just such articles as will
necessarily follow in the wake of the iron
horse in Africa.

Social CLuBs.-The case of the Broadway
and Sanhedrim Clubs of Lebanon, Ohio,
came up before the Supreme Court Of that
State on Tuesday last. These clubs, like
many others in various parts Of the State.
became Incorporated under the laws Of
Ohio soon after the local-option law went
into effect. While they are ostensibly So
cial organizations, it is averred that the
club" is only another name for saloon"
and that the real object Is " beat the local
option law.
The court did not decide the case on its
merits on Tuesday; but IN OyeTullng de-
murrer indicated that the charters Of the
clubs would be taken away.

Congress upon the rights OF the southern
States. has been presenting very ably. for

The republic, some most important cOnsti-
tutjousL principles in which the rights of
the States are involved. Here Is a quota

and Kentucky resolutions of 1888, written
by Thomas jefferson himself on the re-
served rights Of the States. ~

The PtoowHae thus advances the same pro

in his celebrated letter to TMorHY PICK

New More Than His Masters.

Passengers on car coming down Shawmut avenue yesterday morning were given, near Warrenton street, an illustration of what might be called horse sense. A team from which bar rels of merchandise were being un- loaded was backed up to the curb, the horse and small portion of the wagon extending directly across the car track. The horse car, of course, was obliged to come to halt. The young men who were unloading the merchandise were in no sense hurrying. But their horse looked at the car and its load of impatient passengers, then craned his neck so as to view the unloading pro- cess. He evidently saw that there would be considerable further delay and came to the conclusion that it was too much to inflict on the waiting pas- sengers. So, after a moments de- liberation, without being spoken to or touched, he gradually and carefully wheeled round off from the track, so that the hub of the front wheel just escaped the lower side of the car as it passed. Those who witnessed the horses action gave him many compi- ments.-Boston Times.

It Was Q Plot.

A stranger entered well-known saloon on Woodward avenue, the other day, and after imbibing weak drink he said to the proprietor:
 "I want to wait here for few min- utes for man who borrowed some money of me-"
 He was motioncd to a chair, and when an hour had passed away he was asked:
 "Are you stranger in the city7"
 "Yes, sir."
 "Did you lend money to stranger to you?n q did" "How much?'
 "Forty dollars"
 "Humph! Under what circum- stances?'
 s.Said he had freight bill to pay and couldn't get into the bank. He gave me this check for $200 to hold as security. Said he'd meet me here at II o'clock"
 "My friend, you have been bam- boozled."
 "Now
 "Yes, you have. That is the old freight bill dodge. That check is worthless, and you'll never see the man again."
 "But can't believe that. He looked honest and talked straight"
 s'So they all do. Sorry for you, but you must read the papers,"
 "Say! I don't pretend to be awfully smart, but I'll bet that chap was honest"
 s'You willl Whatll you bet?"
 ssEven twenty. l do honestly be- lieve he will come here by II o'clock and pay the money"
 The bet was taken, the money put up, and the greenhorn sat down to wait. At five minutes of II man camc in, handed him $40, expressed his thanks, and took the check and placed it in his wallet.
 ssI told you he was honest," said the greenhorn as he reached for the stakes.
 They were handed over, but half an hour later, after much serious thought, the bartender suddenly slapped his leg and exclaimed:
 .sI see through it now! They were pals, of cOurse!'

THE oTTENDoRFER HOME.
Opening of the Fine New Building. for
 valids in New York.

The new Isabella Heimath, at 19Oth street and Tenth avenue, New York, was formally opened on Sunday. The home was originally established ill 1875 at Astoria, Long Island, for the reception of indigent old women, by Mrs. Anna Ottendorfer in accordance with the dying wishes of her daughter, Miss Isa- bella Uh1, The demand on the institution grew rapidly and the building was soon too small for its purpose, Seeing, this, Mr. Os- woid OttendOrfer decided two years ago to erect new and more commodioqs home on the present site. It was intended that the new institution should accommodate indigent old men, as we'll as women, and also chronic invalids and convalescents, without regard to sex, creed or race.
 The new building was completed two weeks ago. It is situated in one of the most beautiful spots in New York, commanding a magnificent view of the Harlem River, Fort George and the Palisades. It is about 200 feet above the level of the river. The build- ing is three stories high, with two extensions. It faces Tenth avenue and is built of yellow brick and brown stone. Around the build ing extends broad verandas. Mr. Ottendor- fer has taken great interest ill the institution, and has personally expended about $6OO, ,00O on it. Mir. Edward Uhl, Mrs. c. F. Woerish- offer, Mrs. Adolph Schalk and Mrs. Matilda Won Riedl, MT. Ottendorfer's stepchildren, have also contributed generously to the en- dowment and fitting up of the institution.
