"A meeting of business men was held
at The Saulpaugh last evening to meet
Messrs. Straight and Webb, of Mime
apolis, who are DESTROYS that company
shall be organized to develop the Man
kato Mineral Springs. They showed
the great benefit which these springs,
if properly advertised, would be to the
city. The matter was talked over, but
no action taken. There Is lite doubt
but that the springs can be made fam
GUS as health resort, and the plan to
develop them should receive careful
consideration.

Failures In Life.

People fail in many ways. In business. in
morality, in religion, in happiness, and in
health. A weak heart is often an unsupported
cause of failnre in life. If the blood does not
circulate properly in the lungs, there is short
ness of breath, asthma, etc.; in the brain,
dizziness, headache, etc.. in the stomach,
wind, pain, Indigestion. faint spells, etc.; in
the liver. torpidity, cong estion, etc. Pain in
the left side, shoulder and stomach is caused
by heart strain, Por all these 1naladies Mr..

The young people did not allow the
observance Of Hollowe'en to 60 by de
fault last night, from the appearance of
things this morning. The usual depre-
dations were committed, people awoke
to find their gates or other property
missing, crosswalks were displaced, etc.
Several serenading parties were out and
favored their friends with many sweet
productions. The evening was a de-
lightful one to be out in, and little
sport cannot be begrudged the youths
who participated In the fun.
The concert given last evening at the
Congregational church for the benefit
of the Flower Committee" of the Y. P.
S. G. E., of that church, was a success,
artistically and financially. The pro-
gram has already been given In these
columns, and included some of the best
literary and musical ability in the city.
All who took part won many well mer-
tied compliments. The reading given
by Miss May Usher Griffin, of the Nor
NAL faculty, was of an exceptionally
high order, and proved that the high
compliments paid her by eastern pa
pers were we'll deserving. That the
audience appreciated her was demon
strated by the two enchores she re-
ceived. The management had good
reason to feel proud of the success of
the entertainment.
The second annual banquet and ball
given by the Ancient Order of Hiberni-
ans last night, at Union Hall, was a great
success. The large hall was filed by
over hundred couples, and as the mu-
sic by the Germanla orchetra was excel
lent and the floor in fine shape, it could
not have proved other than the success
1t was, especially under the manage
ment of such excellent and genial hosts
as the H1bernians. The dancing was
kept up until the early hours of the
morning, and even then the guests left
reluctantly. An excellent supper was
served in the basement, by D. J. Wha-
len, mine host of the Washington
House, who deserved the many words
of compliment that were passed upon
the meal served, which has seldom been
excelled on any similar occasion in the
city, The receipts were $210, and ex-
penses $105.

The Snail's Tenacity Of Life.

The snail is blessed with very great
powers Of vitality. A case is recorded
of an Egyptian desert snail which came
TO life upon being immersed in warm
water. after it had passed four years
glued to card in the British Museum.
Some specimens III the collection Of a
naturalist revived after they had appar-
emily been dead for fifteen years, and
snails frozen for weeks together in solid
blocks of ice have recovered on being
thawed out. The eggs of this creature
are as hard to destroy as himself. They
seem perfectly Indifferent to freezing,
and have been known to prove pro
ductiye after having been shriveled up
in an oven to the semblance of grains OF
sand.

Cure For Laziness.

During morning walk merchant
who was detained by business in
Amsterdam, came to group of men
who were standing round well. into
which a strongly built man had just
been let down. A pipe. whose mouth
was at the top of the we'll had been
opened and a stream Of water from it
was flowing down into the well and be-
ginning gradually to fill it. The fellow
below had quite enough to do If he did
not want to be drowned, to keep the
water out by means of a pump which
was at the bottom Of the well. The
merchant, plying the man, asked for
an explanation of what seemed heart
less, cruel joke. Sir replied an old
man standing near, THAT man is
healthy and strong; have myself Of
Tered him work twenty times, neverthe-
less he always allows laziness to get the
better of him, and will make any excuse
to beg his bread from door to deor.
though he might easily earn it himself
by work If he liked. VS. are now trying
to make him feel that he can work. If
he uses the strength which is in his
arms he WILDE saved, if he lets them
hang idle he Will be drowned. But
look, J" continued the old Dutchman, as
he went to the edge OF the we'll, 1.-THE
fellow finds out that he has got muscles ;
in an hour we shall let him out with
better resolutions for the futare'' Such
was the case, and the cure was efectual.

cation Not Up to the Times.
Protestants in opposing the Catholics
for advocating the Importance and abso-
lutte necessity for religious education
of the young, says the New York "Catho-
lie News" and by insisting ON keep
ing up in this free land the system Of
hatred, oppression and annoyance in
which Professionals treated Catholics
two centuries ago, are men who do not
read the signs of the times. Secular
education as it is called is device Of
the enemies Of Christianity to exclude
religion from the mind Of the young.
Having driven out Of the pu blic schools
those who believe in religious educa-
ton, they now purpose to crush schools
where religion pervades education.
Professionals have now two courses
open to them, either to make tho public
schools Protestant in their manage
ment, tone, teachers aud text books, or
to admit the necessity of religious
teaching and make it as it was Of old,
part of the school training. It is well
to see how the question is regarded by
those who are neither Catholic or Prot.
estant.
'sThe Professionals are now in the ma
jority," said the free thinking SON of q
Jewish rabbi, Professor Adler, impress
sively. "The time may come when the
Catholics, If not in an absolute ma
jority, will be in control At strategic
points. How would the Protestants
feel then if the Catholic najority should

whole-souled, lavish and benevolent
sovereign, the Queen of England, has

of her golden jubilee. The unfortunate
painter spent three years on the work
executed 387 portraits Of those present

sittings and hired town house to &C
comodate the London people whose
features he desired to reproduce. BE-
side all this, he refused hundreds OF
other offers, the pecuniary reward OF
which would certainly have been mag
nifcent Queen Victoria shows he1
large-hearted and great-souled appre
citation Of these facts by Offering the
artist the miserable sum of 81 600. The
utter meanness of this treatment OF
Lockhart is simply indicative Of that
nobility Of nature which prompted the
s'old lady of England" to send her
valuable sympathy" to the Johnstown
sufferers, and copies Of her Leaves in
the Highlands" to the starving armias
in the Soudan. Oh, yes! Victoria is a

Don't Find Fault.

Does it pay to find fault? You who

There are heavy burdens to bear all day

many a thing to annoy; but don't make
cold and cheerless the home atmosphere
by finding fault. There is no blight
more deadly in its tendency. nothing
that can more surely disturb the har-

more quickly upon yourself, than the
habit OF fault-fnding. Not that errors

YOU are not amply repaid for your for

BIG PAPER MILL BURNED.
Carey Bros Plant at Philadelphia De-
stroyed by Fire.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 14.-Fire de-
stroyed the immense wall paper factory
of Carey Bros, in this city, on Sunday,
causing loss of S6OO,OOO. The flames
broke out in Atkinson's planning mill
and spread to the paper mill The
building extends from Tenth to Elev-
enth Streets, distance of 800 feet, and
from Nevada to Colona Streets, 12O feet,
and was five stories high.
Carey Bros. estimate their loss at
100000, the building costing 100000
and their stock, machinery, patterns,
designs, etc., being worth $500, 900.
Their insurance is 100000. Mr.. Akin
son places his loss at between $4,000
and $4,000 on his planning mill property,
stable and lumber yard. His Insurance
foots up $780, 500. Dwelling houses on
Nevada Street were damaged to the ex-
tent of Sc 900, and other small losses
will aggregate $1,000 more, making the
total near $600,000. The origin of the
fire is mystery.
Carey Bros factory was probably the
most complete establishment of its
kind in the United States, if not in the
world
