MEN TO BEWARE OF.
Chicago Business Man Has Colinfed Some
Important Rules.

Chicago Business Man Has Collnfed Some
Important Rules.
Chicago Tribune.J
Samuel w. King, at the head Of one oi
the largest collection concerns in the coun.
try, has met and seen every type Of man.
From his observations he has made the fol-
lowing deductions, had them printed and
hung in his office:
Beware Of the man who "Swears by all
the gods at once" or one at time, for that
matter.
OF the man who slaps you between the
shoulders and calls you "old man." No
amount Of familiarity is any excuse for this
OF the man who hyphenates his words with
"er-a."
OF the man whose salutation Is, "what's the
news7'
OF the man who asks you when he has seen
you speak to another, who's your friendT'
get itf"
OF the man who in leaving says, "see you
later"
or the man who pokss you in the ribs when
he Is talking
OF the man who adjusts the lapel of your
coat or rubs one sleeve or both, when he Is
talking to you.
OF the man who talks to you on the train, or
on street car, when he never saw you before,
unless there Is a public crisis. Victor Hugo
says that such salutations show public anxiety
and are only excusable when there is public
excitement.
Sensible fellow, that Hugo
Or man who occupies whole table In the
writing room of hotel.
or the man who can't get out of a chair
without Kicking IL from under him.
or the man who drops into a drugstore to
look up name In the directory, and hangs
onto the book as If it were o new novel when
he sees three or four others waiting to look up
names.
OF the man who stands at the box office of a
theater when there is a crowd back Of him, talk
ing about best seats and other topics.
The woman who will do this is no better. She
isn't as good as a man.
Finally-Beware of the man who comes, but
never goes, and of his companion picture the
man who starts to go but doesn't

AN UNHEALTHFUL EXCITEMENT.
Bishop Foster Says Christlnns Find Enough
Pleasure Without Tbeaters,


Pleasure Without Theaters.
Right Reverend Randolph S. Foster, of
Boston, Mass, Bishop of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, like Cardinal Gibbons,
has no personal knowledge of the stage, as
will be seen by his letter.
"MY DEAR YOUNG FRIEND: never, in
the whole course ofmy life. attended theat-
rical performance. Indeed, really do not
see how it would have been possible for me
to have retained my religion if I had in
dulged in such frivolous and worldly
amusements, SO wholly devoid of spiritual
ity and all that can aid the Christian in
fighting the good fight and Keeping the
faith. This, think. is full and complete
answer to the question you ask me-namely,
is it wrong or inconsistent ior Christian
to visit the theater?'
81 think every true Christian will find
that he or she obtains spiritual comfort and
strength by abstaining from all such doubt
full forms of so-cslled amusement.
IAN earnest Christian life cannot fail to
furnish the true Christian with pleasant em-
ployment for every moment of his or her
time, and will SO occupy the mind that it
will feel no desire for the unhealthiul ex-
citement of the theater. am absolutely GER
tain that such life can never fail to be full
of perfect peace and great contentment.
Wishing you success, 1 am
Yours truly,

GOOD PLAYS ARE GOOD.

Cardinal Gibbons Says Each Person Musl
Exercise Discrimination.
His Eminence, Cardinal Gibbons, head
Of the Catholic Church in this country,
sends the following reply:
CARDINAL RESIDENCE,
baltimore, March 13, go.
"MY DEAR SIR-In reply to your letter
of inquiry asking my opinion with regard to
the consistency and rightfulness Of Chris
tlan's visiting the theater, beg to say that
my knowledge of the moral effects of the
play house is derived entirely from such in
formation as has been communicated to me
by others, since have never in all my life
crossed the threshold of theater.
81 am firmly persuaded, however, that
some plays are not only entirely harmless,
but are even elevating, refining and instruc-
tive to high degree in their tendency,
though must say that fear the great ma
jority of theatrical productions are highly
pernicious and even demoralizlng.
my advice to Christians, therefore, would
be that they should avoid bad plays alto
gether, quite as carefully as they would
avoid noxious food, and that they should
indulge in even the best plays with very
great reserve just as they should in rich and
luscious meats.
II am yours faithfully in Christ,
JAMES, CARDINAL GIBBONS"

TALMAGEs BIG ORGAN.
The Tabernacle VIII Contain a King Of In.
struments Costing $4,000.

New York World.l
The new organ for Talmage's Tabernacle
is rapidly approaching completion. The
first organ for the Tabernacle was built in
1873, and at that time was one of the largest
and most complete in the country. 1t was
destroyed with the Tabernacle in 1889.
The new organ Is much larger and more
complete in all its details and one of the
most powerful in the world, and veritable
liking of instruments" 1t will contain four
manuals of five octaves each, a pedal of two
and half octaves, the largest of which will
be the deep G. G. G. G. 32-foot cathedral
tone, the same as in the large organ in
Westminster Abbey. 1t contains more
large stops than any other organ in the
country, il not the world, there being IL
stops of 16 feet and 80 Of 8. The entire
number OF stops is Ito, of which &C are pipe
stops running through the entire scale; the
rest are couplers, pneumatic combinations,
tremulants and pedal movements. The
total number of pipes are 4, 448 and the cost
over $4,000.
1t will be driven by a powerful electric
motor on an Edison circuit. Among the
novelties of this organ will be "Chinese
gong" chime of bells and three drum
effects as follows: Long roll, bass drum and
drum check. Many OF the steps are en-
tirely new in this country and some are
original with the builders.

There was great rejoicing in the village
over Carl's return, and large crowd gath

never grew tired hearing of the fairies and

it never again was seen. PAYsIE,

her Retirement From the White House
Hasn't Yet Affected Ii.
New York world.l
MRS. Cleveland's mail has not yet suffered
any dlminution since she left the White
House. How dear she is to the women and
the school girls of America is best expressed
in the notes and cards that continue to
come from the North, South and West
nlled with sorrow that she could not have
remained" and hopes PRAYER and good
wishes for her return the next time" The
sincerity and genuineness of these expres-
sions Of admiration is found in the addresses
and full names or the fair writers.
The begging letters are simply countless,
and the audacity of the scribblers incredi-
bic. The autograph hunters are legion. and
then there are those contemptible busy
ladies who hump up disagreeable para
graphs and send them to her pasted on the
back Of postal cards.

A CHECK ON GOSSIP.
Clever Ruse of q Hostess TO Teach Her
Guest q Lesson.

Guest q Lesson.
Boston Gazette.l
At luncheon given not long since the
conversation turned on some new neighbors
who had not made very favorable impress
sion on those who had met them. One guest
told her experience and another hers, out
doing the others in disparaging the new
comers. Suddenly the hostess held up her
hands, exclaiming, "Why, friends, they are
my cousins" The check was effectual, and
not until everyone who had been saving the
unkind thugs had become thoroughly
ashamed did it dawn upon them that it was
bat ruse on the hostess part to turn the
conversation.
