THE OLD MAN IN THE STYLISH
CHURCH.

We'll. wife, I've been to church tc-day--
been to a stylish one
s. And seein' you can't go from home, I'll
tell You what was done;
You would have been surprised to see
what saw there to-day;
4 The sisters We're fixed M 50 fine they
hardly bowed to pray.
had on these coarse clothes of mine
not much the worse for wear
But then, they knew wasn't one they
call millionaire;
So they led the old man to seat away
back by the door
Twas bookless and uncushioned, re-
served seat for the poor.
Pretty soon in came a stranger with gold
ring and clothing fine;
Thcy lcd him to cushioned seat FAR in
advance of mine;
Thought that wasn't exactly right, to
seat him MP SO near,
when he was young and was old and
very hard to hear.
Bat then, there's no accountin for what
some people do;
The finest clothing nowadays oft gets the
finest pew;
Sat when we reach that blessed home, all
undetilcd by sin,
Wen See wealtl, beggin nj the gate while
poverty goes in.
! coaldn't hear the sermon, sat so far
away,
50, through the hours of service, could
only 'wateh and pray;"
Watch the doin's of the Christians sitting
near me round about;
Pray that God would make them pure
within as they were pure without.
While sat there lookin' all around upon
the rich and great,
kept thinking Of the rich man, and the
beggar at the gate;
How, by all hut dogs forsalSen, the poor
beggar's form grew cold,
AMI the angels bore his spirit TO the man
sions built of gold.
How at last the rich man persisted, and
his spirit took its flight
From the purple and fine linen to the
home Of endless night,
There he learned as he stood gazing at
che hcggar in the sky,
1T isn't all Of lie to live, nor all Of death
to die"
Idoubt not there were wealthy siras in
that religious fold,
Who went mp from their dwellings like
the Pharisccs Of old;
Then returned home from their worship,
with their heads uplifted high,
To saurn the hungry from their door with
nlught to satisfy.
ont, out with such professions! they are
doin' more to-day
fo stop the weary sinner from the gospels
shipip' way,
Than all the books Of ia9dels, than all
that has been tried
Since Christ was horn in Bethlehenl-
since Christ was cruciaed
How simple are tle works Of God, and
yet how very grand
The shells in ocean eayerps-the flower,
on the land
He gilds the clouds Of evenin' with til,
gold light from His throne,
Not for tho rich nun only; not for th,
poor alone.
Then why shouldm man look down on man
because of lack Of goldl
Why seat him in the poorest pew becaus
his clothes are old'

Pope Leo could infict no greater injury
upon those whom he considers his
enemies in Rome than by Withdrawing
from the vatican and taking up bis resi-
dence in Austria, Malta or some other
foreign locality. In the present condl-
ton Of Roman municipal finances the
proposition to hand over the religious
foundations to the civil authority has
peculiar significance.
A genuine sensation has been created
in England by the exposure of the
Madras slave trade, briefly mentioned
in former dispatches. It appears that
in that British province Of India which
has for many years been under
direct British administration a traffic IN
girls has been carried on as outrageous
as in COnstantinople and with just about
the same amount of secrecy. IN this
way native harems have been sup
piled, and it is said that even
Europeans high in place have not been
gu;ltless of the nefarious trade. The
arrest and sentence of one of the slave
dealers to q term of imprisonment is re-
garded as a very inadequate penalty for
his crime, and it is suggested that
the traffic will still be pursued. but with
greater caution than heretofore. The
interfere any more than they can help
with the custom of nations, especially in
view Of the possibility of
conflict wsth Russia, whose progress IN
Central ASIA is causing renewed anxiety
both i'll England and in India.
Much chagUin Is exhibited in England
over the exposure by Emin Pasha of an
English scheme propounded to him
through Stanley to conquer
Unganda and Unyeno for the
British. The plan was elaborate and
brilliant and would have established
chain of British supremacy from the
mouth of the Congo to the mouth of the
Nile. Emin was to have been appointed
governor Of the Congo states, then to
have subdued Uganda, UnyorO
ana the equatorial province and to have
turned over the conquered countries to
the British East African company. 1t
would then have been impossible for
Germany or any other nation TO compete
with the British in Africa. 1t is
not at all certain that the brilliant
programme will not be carried out with
Stanley as director. The great explorer
has heretofore shown little hesitation in
dealing forciblY with the natives, and it
is not believed that he has yet achieved
the height of his ambition in Africa.

and was not heard Of until March
| 6, 1886, when man repre-
| senting himself as the boy uncle, re-
| turned him to the Ladies Keller society
and asked TO have him confined as an in
| corrigible boy. Five days later he es-
| capped and was not again seen in this
| city until year ago, when in an I'M
guarded moment he ran afoul of one of
| Capt. Lees men and was placed in the
Youth s directory. This institute could
not hold him. He escaped as often as
the spirit moved him, until at last as u
final resort he was sent to Los Angeles
with 4 clergyman, who promised to find
him q home on a ranch and make "a
good little boy of him.
The young rascal did not take kindly
to the ranch. He ran away and went to
the City of Angels, where he gained
nOtoriety rapidly. 1t was while here
that the lad designed, and, with the as
sistance Of a police officer, executed
scheme of fraud which, in point of bold
ness, has seldom been excelled.
In 1881 a lad named Willie Dickinson,
about the age Of the hero OF this story,
suddenly disappeared from the home of
his parents at Commonwe alth, Wis. The
.heartbroken parents, who were very
wealthy, advertised far and wide and OF
fered large reward for the discovery and
return of their child Young Price saw
the advertisement, and while under ar
rest on a charge of street begging at Los
Angeles. proposed to the policeman to
peTsouate the lost Wisconsin lad if the
officer would do the rest of the business
necessary to gain the reward for his re-
turn. The scheme looked plausible and
the officer went into il
A short time after Mrs. Dickinson ar
rived at Los Angeles TO claim her long
lost Willie. At sight Of her the young i'm
poster rushed into her arms, exclaiming,
"Oh, mamma! L am so glad you
have come to take your little Willie away
from these bad men. Kiss your Willie,
mamma - and the hardened reprUbate
actually wept. The overjoyed mother
covered her supposed child with kisses.
She bought him new and elegant cloth
ing, loaded him with presents and began
hastv preparations for their return to
Wisconsin.
The police officer, feeling secure in the
possession of the reward money, con-
r8eived the idea of defrauding the boy
out of his share of it. Innocent little
Willie was, however, too cunning for
his partner in crime. He put a damper
on this little scheme by boldly declaring
his identity TO Mrs. Dickinson, who was
shocked into faiuting fit by the start
ling revelation.
"You don t come any of your games
on dis duck, - he said, addressing the
astonished officer. I'm just plain,

and true. He made his rule of duty the

written law. How well he had adhered
to that rule in the past and the good re-
suit to the state, he showed by a brief
review of his official record. He declared
himself in unmistaLable terms in favor
of railway commission; said he would
do all in his power to favor the establish
ing of an asylum for the disabled Cons
federate soldiers. At the conclusion IF
his speech he referred to the proposed
Huntsville and BRENNAN railway as a
great benefit to the towns if run honestly

THE STORY OF A BAD BOY.
His Daring Scheme to Fleece a Rich Woman
by Posing as Her Lost Son.

~ 1Os1iE 10 ilSE LOSG QUIZ
San Francisco Chronicle.
Little Willie Price, a lad who, by his
incorrigible behavior, has earned the
reputation of being beyond reclamation
appeared before the police court yester-
day and is now at his old home in the
building of the Boys and Girls aid So
oiety on Baker street.
The boy was born in San Francisco in
1877. AT the age of Eve years he was
already a well-known character on the
streets, where he was accustomed to
appear, ragged, dirty and shiverIng
with cold, pleading for aims, with a face
so piteous and manner so deeply touch
ing that none could withstand the
appeal.
One day it was discovered that the
suave little beggar was only acting a
part; that he had more money than
many Of his charitable contributors. 4
gentleman who stood on the corner
and watched the lad for several
hours one day figured out that
he mus be making between $40
and SIS on an average days business as
a solicitor of aims. 1t was also learned
that the boys father and mother had
been for long time living in idle COM
tort on the money which he furnished.
After this there was a msterial falling
of in the profits of Willie's business.
His regular contributors passed him by
with cold stare, and his rival street
beggars guyed him so numerically that
he retired from the scene in deep humili-
alton.
The year 1884 found the wsif under the
care of the Ladies Protective and Re-
lief association, where he was forced to
take refuge on account of the cruelty of
his parents. The latter separated soon
after, and Willie remained in the insti-
tuition until he was taken out by a new
stepIather. Once free from restraint,
however, the lad made declaration of
Independence and refused to be main
tanned as q producer for his mother
and her cousort. He ran away
