Modified Conditions.

Modified Conditions.
LONDON, Sept. 23.-Slavin and Nc
Auliffe were arraigned in the Lambeth
police court this morning, and bound
over to keep the peace in 1000 pounds
each, furnishing surety to appear when
called upon. If any breach of the peace
occurs, warrants will be issued and the
case will be sent before committing
magistrate.
Lord Lonsdale was present at the
Ormonde club meeting today, which
lasted two hours. The secretary of the
club stated that by the decision Of the
magistrates the two pugilists are at lib
erty to compete. Therefore, with the
view of coinciding with the magistrates
remarks, the men agreed to reduce the
number of rounds from thirty to fifteen.
Slavin has returned to Dover.
A court noble man, of sporting procliv-
tiles, has arranged for Jackson, the col
ored pugilist, to box the winner.
The Press Association announces that
Slavin and McAuliffe will probably have
glove fight within few days under
modified conditions.

OUR FALL STOCK.

OUR Fall Stock is now complete, and we
feel confident in making the assertion
~ that we have gathered the choicest
selection of patterns ever brought to
this city. Not only have we tried to select
choice and new patterns, but we have en-
deavored to grade up our stock in make
and fit, by purchasing from the very best
manufacturers, such as: Stein, Block &
Co., of Rochester; Rogers, Peet & Co., of
New York; Hamburger Bros. & Co., of
Baltimore, and other good makers. The
greater part of our stock of Boys Clothing
was made by Peck & Hauchaus, of New
York, firm who have been achieving a
great success for good, well-1nade goods,
and who supply Messrs. Roos Bros, of
San Francisco.
1t is our aim to sell the best wel1-made
goods at popular prices. We are here to
build up big business, and every person
who buys well-1nade garment of us that
retains its shape and wears well is sure to
come again. We do not claim to be phil
anthropists, but in giving you a better
article than our competitors, at the same
price, we are making money for you as
well as ourselves.

PRUCIENT PRINCIPALS.
They Find Indecent Language in One OF
LOngfellow's Poems.

New York, Sept. 23.-Several school
principals of Brooklyn have asked that
Longfellow's poem, ''The Building of the
Ship" be excluded from the school
room. They have discovered portions OF
the poem which are enough, in their
opinion, to bar Its reading by growing
children, and class it with books to
which the. privilege OF circulation
through the mails is denied. Superin-
tendent Maxwell, however, says:
81 do not think the matter worthy of
discussion. 1t is ridiculous. | am sur
prised that any one could be able to dis
cover anything in the poem that should
cause the least comment. do not, and
cannot, believe there is purer poem in

Where sho LIKED.

1t is strange how difficult some
persons faa i. answer i simple
question directly. Even the fact that
time, other peoples Tins, is valuable,
does not disturb their enjoyment in
chatting of various things which.
have no bearing on the two or three
words which their interlooutors wait
more OF less patiently to hear. The
following conversation took place
not long ago in a busy savings bank :
Said the cashier, "Where do you

and her husband has a fine place
down there. He's doing we'll, is

her at the cape. So Pve been down
there a month. She wouldn't hardly

must stay q week longer, anyway.
But I thought"

is your address now2"

look for q boarding place. I don't
know where I'll stay. I want q
place to suit me for all winter. And

moment for breath, and seemed
rather surprised TO be asked sternly

sister liked living there very well.

A Washington banker says: "Take
a grccnback, a silver certificate, a
gold certificate or q national bank
note to your bank and it is received
and placed to your credit without a
moments delay. Not s.: with gold.
A few days ago a gentleman brought
to our bank upwards Of $4,000 in
gold of different denominations, and
was much provoked because we would
not receive it forthwith and give
him credit for the amount tho faces
of the coin presented. This we
could not do, because the law re-
quires that gold shall be redeemed
only at it's actual value. Coins car
ricd i'll the pocket for any length of
time naturally lose something in
weight by abrasion, probably but a
fractional part Of a cent on a $40
coin; but it is a loss, nevertheless,
therefore bankers cannot give credit
for gold deposits until the coin shall
have been weighed. In the case in
point my friend took his gold to the
Treasury department and was COM
PEELED to wait there nearly an hour
before he could get notes for it;
every coin had to be passed through
the scales, and after the weighing
process had been completed three
coins-two SIS pieces and one $40
piecc-wcrc returned to him rs short
in weight. Before returning short
weight coins the Department stamps
on the face Of each n cross. The
owner is left to either send the coins
to the United States mint for re.
demption or to again put them in
circulation. Eventually the coins
with crosses III their faces will 90 to
the mint and be redeemed at their
actual value. In many instances
there may not be more than several
cents shortage Oh $50 worth of coin.
Business men naturally object to the
Inconvenience and get rid of their
gold as fast as possible"

The Famous Strasburg Clock.

The Strasburg clock has been for
about 800 years one Of the wonders
Of the world. 1t has been written
about until students of descriptive
literature arc almost as familiar with
IL as if they had seen it. Its chief
performances are, in addition to its
astronomical features, n procession
of apostles and saints around n cen
trail figure, Jesus. This procession
is preceded by the feeble Growing Of
a cock at IL o'clock, and some Of tho
moro important figures in the pro-
%cession perform rather stifiy tho
principal acts that connect them
with the history of the Master.
The most wonderful performances
of the clock from mechanical
standpoint are its astronomical
motions and indication Of tho sea-
sons. These motions arc accurate to
such a degree that it is said that one
shut up with the clock would have
no difficulty in keeping the run Of
the seasons and tho motions Of tho
principal heavenly bodies.

A laly of Warsaw adyortiscd !

A lady of Warsaw advertised in
the papers that she was willing to
accept proposals for marriage, and,
giving a description of herself, she
also enumerated the qualifications
she required in her sutton. Among
those qualifications she mentioned
that he must be the owner of real
estate. She received many letters in
reply, but n Of them was strictly
original. The writer said he pos
sessed all that the lady desired in
her future husband. Te was good
looking, he held a responsible posi-
ton, had many friends and was re-
ceived in good society, and could
support a family comfortably AS to
real estate, he had that, too; he was
owner of n plot of ground in a
cemetery which was La enough to
accommodate him, n wife and six
children. The lady selected the
writer of this letter from tho whole
number of s%uitors. She opined that
a young man of his position who
had thought of acquiring graves for
himself and a large family before he
was married was surely worthy of
the endowment Of her hand and
heart.

What Little Ones Can DO.

Children from FIVE to ten years of
age can open and air the beds i'll the
morning; can wash and wips dishes;
can bring from the cellar all, the. coal
and wood to be used in other parts
Of the house, BY repeating the jour
ney many times with light loads each
time They can wash the inside of
Wipdows; can clean silver; can sew on
buttons. They can sweep the back
stairs or any bare aoer, not q heavy
carpet; and q large room may be
divided into sections and swept by
small hands. They can tend a baby
mot by lifting;S no growing child
should lift il heavy baby--and can
take a baby to ride in its carriage.
They can cut, after tho mother has
mixed it, n batch of cookies or
doughnuts, and # allowed to use
their fancy somewhat in the figures,
will consider this a most delectable
employment. They can stone raj
sins, sort over bsans, pick vegetables,
pare potatoes, break the macaroni.
They can get Ind clear away the
dinning-table. They can dust the
living rooms, wipe the mop-boards
with q damp cloth, hang out tho
small pieces of washing, bring them
in when dry, iron tho handkerchiofs,
napkins and towels. The boys can
learn to 8 a needle, the girls to
handle n hammer. 1t is eminently
fit and desirable that boys and girls
should understand something of each
others traditional tools. .
Tasks should be made easy to the
children; when dono in a womanlike
manner it should be recognized and
commended. If a child not natu-
rally lazy shows q special distaste TO-.
any particular duty, it is right to re-
lieve him from the task, if possible;
something else can generally be sub
stitutcd. Children that help to pre-
pare a meal might be allowed to sug-
gest part of the bill of fare some
times. In performing n task, It
should not be considered completed
until the implements that may have
been required are returned to their
usual shelves or hooks.-INe House,

A Toast to Gentlemen.

Mrs. Duniway, at a ~literary Q
union at Salem, Oregon, toasted
"The Gentlemen" as follows; "Bless
'em They have orr joys, they dou-
BILE u sorrows, they treble our OK
Penses, they quadruple our cares,
they exotic our magnanimity, they
increase u self-respcct, awaken our
enthusiasm, arouse our affections,
control our property, and OUT
manouvre US in everything. This
would be a dreary world without
them. In fact, I may say, without
prospect of successful contradiction,
that without them this wouldn't be
much of world anyhow. We love
them, and the dear beings can't help
it; we control them, and the precious
fellows don't know it. +
Gas husbands they are convenient,
though not always on hand; as beaux
they are by no means smatcbless.'
They are most agreeable as visitors,
handy at State fairs, indispensable at
oyster saloons. They are splendid
as escorts for some other fellows
wife or sister, and rs friends they
are better than women. AS our "a
theirs they arc inexpressibly grand.
A maj may be a failure in business,
q wreck in constitution, not enough
to boast of rs a beauty, nothing as q
wit, less than nothing as a legislator
for women's rights, and not very
brilliant as a member of the press,
but if he is our own father we over
look his shortcomings, and cover his
%piccadiloes with the divine mantle
Of charity. Then, as our husbands,
how wc love to parade them rs para
CONS! In the sublime language of
the poet -
"'We'll lie for 'om,
Won cry for 'cm,
And If wo could, we'd fly for 'cm
Wo'd anything but die for 'em.'"
