Pleasant Occasion.

Rev. S. P. Smith and family have re-
Gently commenced housekeeping In the
neat cottage on Leavitt street, recently
bought and thoroughly fitted up by Mr..
j. N. Collins. Last NJ onday evening
Mr.. Smiths Pensioners and few 9th
er friends. made him a surprise visit,
bringing their arms full of valuable and
useful articles needed In a we'll furnished
house. When the unsuspecting parson
took his light, by which he was reading
his evening paper, and went to answer
the door bell, he was met by as jolly a
company of men, women and children as
he ever expects to see; and there seemed
to be no end to them. Finally they all sue
ceeded In getting In, but every room in
the house was about filled. When Mr..
s. had partially recovered from his sur
prise. he and his better half (who had
been Informed that a few friends" were
going to call that evening" attempted a
survey Of the many gifts that had sud-
denly been presented them. In the par
lor they found two beautiful rockers, an
elegant oak centre table, large Roches-
ter lamp and charming glass flower
holder. In the kltchen-well only an ex-
perienced house keeper can begin to tell
all the good things that were heaped up
on the dining table. There were no end
of groceries, pickles. preserves and many
other things that gladden. the hearts Of
any parsons family. A good sized
Thanksgiving turkey was presented by
the young mems class Of the Sunday
School. A beautiful toilet set was a.
so discovered.
Mr.. Smith tried to make a little speech,
but for once his Pensioners found him
wholly unprepared. He succeeded how
ever, In stammerlng out the heartfelt
thanks of himself and family for all their
tokens of kind regard from their many
friends.
A pleasant evening was passed, and at
an early hour, the company, numbering
over sixty, took their departure. Truly
are the hearts of pastor and people
brought into closer bonds OF sympathy
and fellowship, by this pleasant occasion.

Peters on the Alliance.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Represent-
ative Peters, of Kansas, yesterday stood
talking to some Kansas constituents.
'The farmers alliance" said he, sis
100000 strong, and better organized
than the grange movement, and if it's
leaders are level headed, they may be
able to accomplish great good for the
farmers, but the signs are that they
will attempt to drag the movement into
opposition to the republican party from
mercenary motives, and if they do it
will destroy its influence, for party ties
will prove the stronger"
Peters says that. party ties are
stronger in the Kansas farmer than
his self interests. 1t may have been so
in the past, but it remains to be seen
whether it will be that way this fall.
But what does Mr.. Peters mean when
he says the signs of the times are that
the alliance will oppose the republican
party from mercenary motives? Will
Congressman Peters explain? The
charge he makes against the alliance is
a grave one.

A Bankrupt CITY.

The following dispatch. clipped from
the Cameron, w. ", Ne,os, proves that
prohibition works the same way the
world over:
WESTON, w. VA. April IA
remarkable condition of affairs has been
brought about here by the recent cleo
tion. A month ago a prohibition coun-
Gil and mayor were elected. The
refusal to grant liquor licenses cut down
the estimated revenue of the year
nearly 20 per cent. The city had heavy
contracts for lighting and improve
ments. and the prohibition council
foresaw heavy deficit. In OEder to
escape the difficulty, the entire council
has resigned within the last two weeks,
and nobody can be found to fill their
places. The city is without a govern
ment, without revenues, and in the
meanwhile the sale of liquor goes mer-
rily on.

socIETY'S BARRED GATES.

ssFour Hundred"
It has often been asked: Is money An
open sesame to the rank and file Of the
ultra society people of New York, COM
monty designated the "Four. Hundred?'
OF course, upper society is naturally
made up of moneyed people. To sus-
tain ones position and to give as hber-
ally and as generously as you receive,
IL is absolutely necessary to have at dis
possl an abundant supply Of money. In
other words, society means the expend-
iture of money.o
This being the case, people with
money grsvitate as surely toward the
ranks of the "Four Hundred" as the
needle Of . compass points in the direc-
ton of the North Pole. But, although
money is the handspring of the in
tricate machinery which operates So
ciety, there are several smaller wheels
which must also be kept in motion be-
fore one can gain admission to the
charmed circle.
Education and refinement must sup
plement the possession of money, other
wise the applicant for social recognition
will be cold1y received, and in . short
time made to feel that his or her COM
pany Is undesirable. II society Is de-
termined to shut its doors against .
newcomer, the unlucky one might as
we'll give up and save himself from
further sights and embarrassments.
Society's power is that Of despot No
one, no matter what his wealth may be,
can successfully take it by the horns
and expect to receive any thing but
bruised sensibilities in return.
Accordingly hitherto unknown man
or woman who suddenly becomes
wealthy, but who lacks the other re-
quirements, had better not attempt to
become one Of the s'Four Hundred" It
usually takes . asuddenly-made rich fam
lily two generations before 1t becomes
accustomed to the little traits and habits
Of the wealthy, and before it's members
can enter with befitting grace the
eraved-for kingdom.
Society Is made up Of educated and
Shrewd people, who are quick to detect
any flaws in the personnel of q new
