the course Of his, remarks said: 1.-THE object
Of this conference is to ask questions and OBJ
tain information respecting benevolent, char
table, penal and reformatory work, their aims
and methods Of work, how far they have sue
ceeded, how far they have come short Of the
ideals they aimed at, and the reason for this
want of success. No compensation is derived
from the conference service, and no motive
can be assigned for its existence beyond a
philanthropic desire to help humanity"
Letters OF regret were read from ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland, Mr.. Carroll d. Wright, the
commissioner of labor, and Others. Judge
Macarthur. Alexander Graham Bell, DIR. w.

who had walked away BY the side Of the pur-
chaser had returned in about i've minutes ask.

tents. "A yard and three-quarters Of black
and white ruching costing IS cents, for which
my friend gave % bill" The girl was con-
vinced, ~ she had noticed the two walk Oh TO-
gether, and delivered the parcel and change.
A door walker and detective were called up.
Both recognised the trick as q well-known one,

A Broken Neck Mepded.

last autumn and broke her neck, 10 about to be
discharged from the Pennsylvania Hospital
at Philadelphia perfectly cured. When she
was admitted she had to carry her head in her
hands to prevent it from falling over on her
bosom. The surgeons found that the cervical
vertebre had been strained, dislocated and
fractured, but the spinal cord appeared to be
unintured. The bones of Mrs. DonaRhue's
neck have knit, and, although she still wears
supports to her neck. she appears to have COM

neck will in time be as strong as ever

lie DIDN'T SWEAR OFF,
But Did Say that If Nominated for Post
master He Wouldn't Drink At All.

Some of the post Office officials who are
familiar with the facts are amazed at the pub
lshed statement that Mr.. W. W. johnson,
recently nominated to be postmaster at Balti-
more, was obliged, before the President would
consent to send his name to the Senate, to
make oath that he would not drink intoxi-
eating liquor during his term Of Office
The story, however. it is said, is not made en-
tirely out Of whole cloth. 1t seems that after
the Postmaster General had made up his mind
to recommend Mr.. johnson to the President
for appointment that the latter
was in Mr.. Wanamaker's room
and with the first assistant, Mr.. GARRISON,
was discussing the Baltimore situation
Mr.. Wanamaker spoke Of the charge brought
against Mr.. johnson at the White House. that
he was drinking man. Mr.. johnson said that
such statements were ridiculous. He could not
be called a drinking man. He took drink occa-
sionally and that was all there was in it. .'How-
ever" he added, ''if get this appointment 1
will not drink at all"
That is good" exclaimed Mr.. wanamaker,
grasping Mr.. Johnsons hand Mr.. Clarkson
also expressed his satisfaction and then the
subject was dropped. 1t is said that this is the
extent Of the alleged iron-clad oath taken by
Mr.. johnson.
The nomination Of Mr.. johnson was the ont
come Of a vigorous contest between several
strongly endorsed candidates. All the others.
however, substantially withdrew their claims
several weeks ago, and it is said tina. there was
a general union OF sentiment in favor Of Mr..
Johnson
