BISHOP POTTER was very sagacious
In his address before the Diocesan
convention, when he advised both
clergy men and laymen to be cautious
to the last degree in the handling OF
religious and charitable funds. Be
able to give an exact and detailed &C.
count OF all receipts and expenditures,
and at any moment, was his wise ad-
monition. Leave nothing to be taken
Tor granted. but be epared to render
Ineligible statement OF the steward
ship. That. substantially, was the
Bishops warning, and it should be
needed by the managers and trustees
Of every fund for religious and
charitable purposes.

COTTON growing is more profitable
wherever it is possible than growing
wheat. or, in fact, any other grain.
This fact most effectually disposes of
the fear that India, or. in fact, any
other tropical country, will long con-
tinue as competitors with US in grow
ing wheat and corn. The decreasing
export OF wheat from India to England
despite every effort to increase pro-
ductiou, has been accounted for by bad
easons. The true explanation is tho
increase in cotton growing. combined
with larger use OF Indian grown wheat
at home. India cotton is not so good
as the American staple, but there is
less difference In quality than there is
in the wheat from the two countries.

CoIored Children XIII Each other.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Oct. pa
Information from Spottsylvania says
that in the neighborhood of Peaks a
few days ago gentleman while hunt
ing in the backwoods came upon hut
in which the bodies of two colored
boys in decomposed state were found.
1t seems that they had fought several
days ago and one of them had killed
the other, while from the wounds the
other had received death resulted.
The child in the hut had its collar bone
broken and was in critical condition.
Another male child who was ill was so
cruelty bandaged by woman who had
been in charge that the little fellow
was suffering terribly when discovered.
The negroes in charge OF the children
have been arrested and will be tried rs
being parties to the crime.

HAYES AND THE REPORTERS.

How He Went Back on His Promise to Have
No Secrets From the Press.
A President who takes the position that
he Will not be interviewed saves himself
great deal of trouble, says William e. Cur
tis, executive officer, Pan-Amerlcan Con-
gress, in the st. Louis Globe Democrat:
When Mr.. Hayes came to Washington 1t
was given out that his administration would
have no secrets. Correspondents were told
to come and get all of the news. There was
to be no concealment of information relat-
ing to public business. Soon after MI.
Hayes was inaugurated Major John M.
Carson, of the Philadelphia Ledger, ana L
were at the White House.
The President invited us to stay to lunch.
While we were lunching Mr.. Hayes re-
peated that it was his intention to give the
newspapers everything. He told US he
wanted us to feel entirely free to come to
him at any time and ask him anything we
wanted to know. 1 thought it was well to
take him at his word, and asked: MIR.
President, what is going to be your policy
about silver?'
Just at that time the silver question was
beginning to be very interesting. Mr..
Hayes didn't answer my question for a
minute, and then he said: 'That is mat
ter about which would prefer not to say
anything on this OCCASION" 1t wasn't long
alter that until Mr.. Hayes was about as
difficult to interview as any OF the Presl-
dents. Since he became e1-President he has
adopted an invariable rule to decline all
interviews on politics.

POCKET MONEY FOR YOUTH.

Teach Them Something About Moneys
Value Before They Spend 1t.
If you want to ruin an impulsive boy,
says the New York Ledger, give him plenty
of pocket money. The recipe is infallible.
1t has often been tried, and always with the
same unhappy result. Rich parents are too
liable to indulge in this killing species OF
kindness. By the time he is 8 years old
the little scion of wealth begins to under
stand the soft side of pa and ma, if they
have soft side, and, if not, the weak spot
in the weaker of the twain. If an only son,
he is usually irresistible.
Alas! how many only sons have the way
to destruction made smooth for them by
blind partlality. Young gentlemen of large
expectations are accustomed to carry bank
bills in their portmonnaies at the ripe age OF
10, in these days OF pre-nlaturity. At IA
they are content with nothing less than
well-stufed pocketbooks, which ''the gov
ernor" is required to refill as fast as they
are emptied, or, if he de.nurs to the requisi-
ton, the wherewithal must come out OF
"the old lady's" pin-money. youth must
be served" especially precocious youth.

He Is Personally Described and Compared
With Other Athletes.
Il. Alton, In Newcastle, England, Chronicle.I
AS regards Sandow's personal appearance
well, have seen and studied the portraits
of many of the athletes OF lang syne, and
have viewed in the flesh many grand speci-
mems of the modern strong man. but can
safely give the palm-for "looks"-to
Sandow.
From among the goodly types OF manhood
in days gone by, 1 should select as the most
favorable specimen, Gentleman Jackson.
From those whose proportions 1 have
scanned myself, 1 should take John Heenan
as 1 saw him once, in fighting costume
Andrew Marsden, the splendidly-built but
unfortunate Nottingham pugilist; Donald
Dinnie and Fleming, the Scottish athletes;
Prof. Miller, the weight litter; Steadman
and Lowden, the North Country wrestlers,
while in their prime of 15 years back;
Owen Harte and Barry, the Hibernian
weight thro wers, and John L. Sullivan.
The men instanced were all taller and
bulkier than Sandow, but I am sure that
not anv one of them equalled him In syn-
metry of form and display of muscle. From
head to heel there is not bad point in him.
His features are of bold classical type;
his head is well-shaped and balanced upon
white and muscular neck; his shoulders
are immensely broad; and in every limb
from mighty arm 10 stately calf-the mus
cles stand out firm and roun ded as bosses of
steel.

indians had cut the telegraph wire, and
knew that he might look out for squalls.
Ehey were never satisfied with simply cut
ting the wire, but chopped it into inch
pieces with their tomah.wks to efectually
stop the mysterious messages.
AS the train came near a large patch of
suntlowers, which grew on both sides of the
track, over 100 Indians rose up. stretched a
rope slcross the track, braced themselves and

taken rawhide strips. braided them together
and, with force of so at each end of the
rope, tlAought that they would be able to stop

were thrown in all directions. Some were

a dozen Were killed or seriously injured.
This was tine last attempt made for years to

rrRANsLArEp FOR THE pIsrArcu. J

In olden times, on the northeast coast
the Island UsedOm, stood the proud cityf
Vineta, whose swift merchant vessels
piowed every sea, and returned laden with
untold wealth. Here the treasures of the
Indies were to be found, and IN tine stately
houses, lining the wide streets and broad
avenues, were seen the happiest people.
Strong walls protected tine city from its
hostile neighbors, and every day many
troops of brave soldiers guarded the
brazeu gates to prevent any attack from an
enemy.
But within the city gates, even in the
royal palace, was an enemy, more to be
dreaded than the wild savages of the forest.
The old King, who Tor so many years had
ruled over the city, and who was SO beloved
by the people, was now nearing the end of
his life, and the fair-haired Heriwalt,
Z boy of but l. years, should
with ms uncle Ortwin as counsellor, rule in
his fathers stead. Scarcely had the old
i ing been laid to rest when Ortwin practiced
all kinds OF cruelty upOn the people, de-
claring these evil deeds TO be done in direct
obedience 10 the commands OF Heriwalt.
! Finally the people, unable longer to en-
dure the oppression, rose in revolt against
their young King, whose kind and gentle
nature did not suspect the treachery and de-
ceit of his ambitious uncle, who wished the
crown ior himself Armed men surrounded
the castle and threatened that if Heriwalt
did not at once give up his claims to the
throne to his uncle the city should be laid
In ruins.
The bov, not knowing how to act in these
trying times, dressed himself in a peasants
garb, and escaped TO the sea. Here having

| flask he again made his way to the home OF
Neerhold beneath the waves. Here the
| the water nymphs gave him a royal greet
| ing, and sang joyous song OF welcome to
the king, returning from his journey.
Heriwalt went at once to the Sea King
and said: "I have been to my native city,
Nineta, where 1 found the people in sore
distress and in great need of king. have
promised to 60 back 10 them and be their
ruler, as my father was. In return iOr your
kindness to me, wish you to share my
crown 1 have shared yours, and let us
unite our great Kingdoms"
''No," said the king, ''our people are too
unlike to be Joined. If you have deter
mined to return to your city, you must say
farewell to my people, and alter three days
l shall come to your palace in Vineta.
Herlwalt took sad leave OF the water
nymphs; for he was grieved to think that
he must leave the beautiful home of the
Sea King. Meerhold again went with him
to the surface of the water.
"Heriwalt," she said, ''do not leave us;
for distress is about to come upon the city,
and YOU will not be needed as king"
"My CITY has strong walls and brave SOL
diers. What harm eau come upon us?"
asked Heriwalt.
''In three days nv father will destroy the
city. More than this dare not tell you"
replied Meerhold.
And then tine beautiful Princess disap-
peared, leaving Heriwalt to wonder at her
words. The city Vineta was very happy
over its restored King, and the time was
given 10 teasting and enjoyment. On the
third day after Heriwalt had returned to the
city, the Sea King entered the palace, and
and having sought the presence of the King,
said: "The repentance of your people has
come too late. Years ago when they listened
to the evil counsels of Ortwin, L vowed
vengeance upon them and their time has
come"

Pauline Hall-she with the mirthful curl
of lip and flashing eye-has for the past few
days been taking her meals at the st. Nicho-
las. When Pauline strikes this town she's
"right in line," and she is known to all as
Miss Schmidtgall. She is evidently good
daughter, as she always spends her leisure
moments with her mother, who lives IN
cozy home on Walnut Hills. Years OF life
in the country's metropolis have made Miss
Schmidtgall an epicure, and the daintlest OF

breakfasts at the st. Nicholas at lO A. NJ,
dimes at 2:15 P. NJ, and lunches at $50 P. NJ.
and sups at II: 80 P. NJ.
What she eats is mystery, but it is
fact that she has first class appetite, to-
gether with delicate taste in the selection
of the viands which constitute her meals.
She gives her order at night after supper as
to what shall be served up for her break
fast after breakfast as to the composition of
her dinner; after dinner she discusses the
proper things for lunch, and, naturally,
after luncheon she turns her thoughts to
supper. She is not in any sense a gour-
mand, and is rather dainty in dealing with
rich food. 1t is said that she eats whole
wheat at every meal, and declares it to be
the greatest nerve and brain food known to
the philosopher of the kitchen.
