There was strange funeral at the
Trappist abbey, Gethsemane, near
New Hope, KY, recently. Father
Benedict, the abbot and one Of the
founders, was barred in q grave dug
by himself as his last resting place.
He was buried without coffin or
shroud, wrapped simply in his mo-
nastic robes, with the capote drawn
over his face to protect it from the
clods. The ante-interment ceremo-

brother Trappists, relieved by two
Others at regular intervals, chanted
the psalms of David over his remains
continually from the moment of his
death until the interment twenty
four hours later. Father Benedict,

Gethsemane in 1848, and was the
second abbot. In the world he was

For Capt. Kidd's Treasures.

The ''money diggers'' are back
again to their old haunts in Pittston,
near the east shore of the river, six
miles below Gardiner There are
three OF them, one coming from Ne
braska and the others from Frank
lin county. Their operations are
confined to the old lot OF land called
the money hole" where men have
been digging for Kidd's buried treas
ure a long time. They have sunk
one shaft, five by four feet, and ten
feet deep, near a small brook. They
first struck clay, and then bed of
sand. Ten rods up the hill they
have eXcavated another hole, per-
maps six feet across. The money
diggers" are in dead earnest, and
toll away with shovel and pick in the
hot sun as if certain Of finding Kidd's
gold.-Lewiston (Me.) Journal.

Danger i'm the Shirt Front on
Women.

Unless the women are going to
take to suspenders and trousers out
right, they ought to discard the lit
tie shirts, neckties and collars that
they are wearing so generously this
year, No woman looks natural in
male attire, and besides, these
slick shirt fronts are extremely dan
gerous. There is already a case on
record of q young fellow who laid his
head on one of them a few nights ago
and unwisely tried to put his arm
around the girl at the same moment.
She moved a little closer to give him
a better hold, when all at once his
head slipped down the slick shirt
front like a toboe gan slide, shot off
on the floor and fractured his skull.
Other accidents not quite SO serious,
but of sufficient Importance to sup
port the belief that they are very
dangerous articles OF apparel, are
reported.-Yenowine's News. .

She Made a Sensation.

Mr. Randolph announced that the
lady would perform an act on the
slack wire. She balanced herself on
the Ncre and tripped back and forth,
while the audience looked on with
that apathy and air Of being half
bored which eharacterizes all shows
which are thoroughly familiar to the
theater and circus patron.
All at once the air performer drew
a few pins from the bay window Of
her dress and drew that garment off,
leaving her standing on one foot,
clad in an elaborate lace skirt.
The audience aWaKed from it's in
difference and the show became en-
doWed with a new interest.
More pins were extracted and over
her head went the skirt.
The audience became excited.
Next the bus-dress improver came
off. 1t had no longer any dress to
improve, and it's occupation was
gone.
The audience began to speculate
as to where the disrobing process
would end, and a pistol shot Or q
dog fight would not have served at
that moment to distract it's atten-
ton. IT,.
By this time the lady ON the wire
had got down apparently to the
snowy garment which as adapted to
the male form is known as shirt.
The audience craned it's neck, SO to
speak, and as the lady showed an in
tention Of removing even that gar
ment, strong men held their breath
in dismay, wonder and curiosity,
while the weak and modest ones
covered their faces with their hands.
Well the what We call it came off,
and-nothing more shocking was re-
vealed than a handsome and very
shapely young woman clad in the
regulation tights and trunks that
all well-regulated slack-wire and
trapeze artists are wont to wear

Geography and History,

The relations between geography
and history would seem to demand
that one should not be taught and
understood to the exclusion of tba
other. Is it not possible that by
teaching less OF detail in geography
time may be found for training chill
drento read and become interested in
history? The two studies are prop
erly compliments OF each other.
The one is a description of the earth,
and the other a story OF the people
who have lived on the earth. If
either is presented with no reference
to the other it often becomes a dry
and unintersting subject. The teach
ing of geography for this reason has
lacked be sl life and color {.

Richard Neale, of Dayton, while
chopping wood in the timber last
Monday about two miles from his
house, felled a tree which partially
lodged, and not being very large one,
and having fallen in such manner as
to need moving he took hold of it at
the butt end to slide it around, when
it slipped and caught his left hand,
crushing the inner half to pulp and
breaking the bones of the little finger.
He started home, and while on his
way the hand was frozen. Arriving at
Dayton, he took train and came to
Ottawa and DR.. Hathaway dressed
the wound, having to remove the
broken bones from the hand. Mr..

can for so serious an injury.

THE STATE ORANGES
Executive Ohicers Met at the Clifton Hotel
Yesterday Afternoon.

Yesterday Afternoon.
Mai. j. NJ. Thompson, OF Joliet,
worthy master Of the Illinois State
Grange, j. II. Van Arsdale, OF Peoria,
and Jackson II. Shaver, OF OTTAWA, OF
the executive committee, and OllVer
Wilson, of Putnam county, state
lecturer of the Illinois State Grange,
met at the Clifton Thursdayhfterno0n
for the purpose Of assigning details
and mapping out a course OF work Tor
the State Grange for the ensuing year.
During the past ten months 5OS SUB,
ordinate oranges were organized
throughout the state, and an Increased
membership Of 2, 100 was made during
the year.
The object of the Grange Is to
further the interests of the farmer and
its members, and to that end they
must become united and organized,
and this organization is accomplished
by the Grange.
The officers present report the past
year as one of the most successful IN
the history of the Illinois Grange dur:
ing the past twenty-three years. 1T is
nOn-partisan in politics and men or al
creeds and parties or shades or rellgl-
GUS or political beliefs are eligible to
membership.
AS an example of the benefits of the
Grange, what the united efforts of the
farmers might accomplish, may be cited
the effect of the farmers howl about
binder twine The Irvine, which in
1889 sold all the way from 10 to %
cents, can now be purchased for II
cents. "Rings and monopolies must
gO''-the Grange has no use for them.
Through the influence of the farmers
and resolutions being passed by local
oranges, much can be accomplished
and much credit is due the State
Grange officers for the success met
with during the past year.

GOOD rEmPLARs IN SESSION
Declare the Prohibition Law a Suc-
cess-ResoIutIons Adopted.

AUGUSTA, April 24-The forenoon session
of the Good Templars was DEVOTED to hear
ing reports of committees
The report of the committee on the prohib-
itory law created the most interest. The
committee say that the law, when first en-
acted, was intended to wholly break up the
traffic in open saloons, and that this law has
accomplished its design as well as other
laws. The old time open saloon Is not found
and those engaged in secret sale have been
outlawed and looked upon as criminals when
apprehended and so treated, and liquor sell
ling is crime against the state. The saloon
has been prohibited without the slightest
prospect of reversal by the peoples YER
dict. Though the saloon plague of past
years has been prohibited, the secret dens of
vice are carried on largely by the foreign
element in the larger cities owing to the un-
faithfulness of local executive officers. This
neglect, the committee say, has brought
scandal upon the prohibitory law and state.
The committee therefore moved a resolution
that this body exert power of greater en-
phasis than ever before for a thorough and
impartial enforcement of the law.
The following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That we, as Grand Lodge, tender
10 Governor Burleigh our sincere thanks for the
interest he has taken In our order. and beg TO as
sure him OF our appreciation of the noble stand
ne has taken t in enforcing the prohbitory law,and
pledge MIN the support and influence OF our order
so long as he maintains his present attitude.
Other resolutions endorsed the work of
the committee of seven in Bangor during the
year, and condemned those opposing the
work, and asked the officers of cities and
towns In making juror lists to select only
such as believe in the maintenance Of pro

Mr.. Gladstone Speaks on the Land
Purchase Bill.

LONDON, April 24.-Mr. Gladstone re-
sumed the debate on the land purchase bill
in the House Of Commons this evening. He
said he was opposed to the bill under the
overwhelming conviction that 1t was eomplI-
Gated without undertaking to solve the diff.
Guilty. Regarding Mr.. ParnelPs plan, he
said 1t was new in principle. It's general
purpose was clear, but he was not certain
that he comprehended the details. COnser-
vative laughter.l Some of the proposals 10
Mr.. BalfOurS bill were so obviously Obiec-
to abe as to justify their rejection. The
method proposed for ascertaining the net
rent OF land would enable the landlord TO
obtain compensation upon a large mass Of
Income he never received. [Hear.l He urged
that 1t was obvious that Ireland opposed the
measure In view Of the fact that fve-sixths
Of the Irish members deliberately and
determinedly opposed it, He objected TO
the use Of British credit, and thought the
government was precluded from a large ap-
Plication Of that credit for the purchase OF
land. Besides the large pecuniary risk, the
lved evils tenfOld grea ter, threaten
ing to produce conditions which would shock
humanity, imperil order and make worse the
relations between the two countries The
state Of landlordism implied the use of
soldiers against the tenant and the use of
every weapon of the state to enforce an i'm
proper law. In conclusion he said: 81 feel
1t my absolute duty to protest against
principles OF so fiagrant a character, so tehd-
Ing to embark the country In immense pecu-
MARY risks, while making land purchase not
an aim In the settlement Of the general Irish
problem, but means to further plunge us
into the deepest political embarrass ment."
