WOmRn Assaulted BY a Priest.


HANOVER, o., June "A woman
came from Cleveland to Dungannon,
three miles west Of Hanover, to claim
child in custody by Father Hennessy,
the Catholic priest of that village. She
claimed to be the mother of the child
and sister of Father Hennessy. Father
Hennessy knocked the woman down.
She took refuge with Mr.. McGraw.
Father Hennessy pursued her to Nc
iraws house and found her and Miss
McGraw outside the door. When Miss
McGraw declined to 60 into the house
as ordered, Father Hennessy knocked
her down with club, when old Mr..
Mc(3raw approached and was also felled

Another indication of intemperance is
to be found in the extinction of all the
finer feelings and amiable dispositions
of the soul; and if there have ever
seemed to be religious affections, of
these also. The fiery stimulus has
raised the organ of sensibility above
the power of excitement by motives ad-
dressed to the finer feelings of the soul
and of the moral nature, and left the
man prey to animal sensation. You
might as we'll fling out music upon the

GRANTS REPUBLICAEIsM
Facts That Dfsprove the Popular Belief

Facts That Dfsprove the Popular Belief
That He Was Once a Democrat.
New York Press.l
The prevailing belief that General Grant
was once Democrat is dispelled by ex-
Governor Stone, of Iowa, who. relates that
he had a conversation with General Grant
about politics shortly after the surrender at
Appomattox, in which Grant told him all
about his political antecedents and his
tory. General Grant came of Wing stock
and learned his first lessons in politics from
Henry Clay. As a boy he was literally
bound up in Clay, and with the rest of his
family mourned over his repeated defeats
for President. None of his family, SO far
as Grant knew, ever voted a Democratic
ticket. He himself voted for Buchanan in
1856, because he disliked Fremont. AT
later period General Grant told Governor
Stone that he had voted in st. Louis for
Chauncey I. Filley for Mayor, and in Illi-
nois for General Jonn NJ. Palmer for Gov
ernor, which made up the whole record of
his votes up to 1880. do not know if Filley
was running for Mayor as a Republican,
but it is my impression that he was, and
Palmer. although now a Democrat, was
then Republican.

is fine talker, has flashing hazel eyes, q
crown OF brown hair and clear olive COM
plexion.s She knows very well how to dress,
and looks charming in some simple French
made gown of soft stuff. The house that
they live in is handsome structure of
brick and wood. There is an air of comfort
on all sides, and one Of the most noticeable
things about it is the profusion of plants
and flowers in every room. There are plenty
OF cozy hooks in it and dozen handsomely
furnished rooms, with open freplaces and
many OF the windows of stained glass, let
ting in flood OF varied colored sunlight.
If you should happen to be present at
night you would be astonished to see the
house lighted up by the electric light. It
can be compared to nothing better, perhaps,
than to fairy's palace. THERE'S library
stocked with rare books, splendid paintings
and etchings on the walls, and in the dining
room a magnificent collection of silver and
crystal. While it is stylish house, every
thing has been sacrificed for comfort After
lunch Mr.. and Mrs. Edison sometimes play
billiards for an hour or so, or the wizard
may lie in one of his hammocks swinging
near his conservatory, with volume of
Dante in his hand. Sometimes he catches
10 minutes nap and awakes like giant re-
freshed.

raising fancy breeds of chickens is one of
Mr.. Edison's hobbies. There are number

The evening is spent in drive or in chat

overrun the place. There is no restriction
hF,n
curiosity seekers visit Llewellyn Park Just
to catch a glimpse of the inventor. Some
times they succeed and many times they do
not, for Edison is only human after all and
his nature is a bit perverse. By midnight
the house is in darkness, except on some
special occasion when the light burns long
in the library, and then it may be known
that the great inventor has something on his
mind and is trying to solve an intricate
problem. But as rule his life is methodi-
cal. He goes to bed in good season and gets
up betimes.
He works hard all day and sleeps like a
plowboy at night. He seldom goes away
from his home, and those who want to see
him on important matters must journey out
to him. He dislikes publicity very much.
He has never been seen at a great public
banquet in New York or elsewhere, and he
finds little to interest him in the theater or
opera, although he is great lover of music.
In addition to all his other accomplishments,
he plays very prettily on the piano and often
passes an hour in that amusement. Per-
haps while his fingers are wandering over
the ivory keys his mind is in another land,
where the shadows become realities and
where. by the touch of his magic wand, he
may bring forth some great invention that
will benefit the entire human racel

what Edison will do nextl

COACHING MAYOR GRANT.

Ward McAllister Has Him in Hand and Pro-
poses to Polish Him Up Nicely.
Philadelphia Press.l
Ward McAllister has taken Mayor Grant
under his aristocratic protection, and with
one or two other friends and some remark
ably fine specimens of repeating fowIing
pieces they have gone down to the Chesa-
peake Bay region to shoot ducks on a pre-
serve.
McAllister's intimacy with Mayor Grant
is comparatively recent development. 1t
is probably delight to the Mayor, whose
social aspirations have become very aristo-
cratic since he became chief magistrate of
the city: In his earlier days the Mayor
found his chief social entertainment in
going about in flannel shirt and belted
trousers at the picnics of uptown chowder
clubs. Secretary Whitney has given him
some considerate drill in social require
ments, and now that McAllister and he are
chummy, it is quite likely that the Mayor,
as an eligible batchelor, will become a con-
spieuous figure at the Patriarchs' ball next
winter.

posed, that he used to advise his pupils not
to study law. Macaulay raised the ques-
tion in England as to whether a man with
wig on his head and gown on his back was
justified in doing for guinea what as
private citizen, without these decorations, he
would consider wicked and infamous to do
for an empire.
This question, however, has never yet
been settled. One of the most famous
lawyers in this country las said that
'1awyers make half their living by lies"
But after all there are honest LAWYERS, men
of high moral principle who consider 1t
dishonorable to lie. even professionally, for
a fee.
LIES IN TRADE.
That there is a vast deal of lying in busi-
ness requires no proof. The shoddy goods,
the short measures, the tricks of the trade,
so-called, the cheats by which paying Gus
toners are made to make up the shortages
of the "dead BEATS" give full evidence. The
only remedy for these business lies is for all
to trade only with reputable dealers, and
thus impress the old proverb that honesty
is the best policy.
But while all lying is mean and base and
desp1cable, the worst lies are the malicious
Hes-the lies which I'M ure character and
wreck happiness. Slander is the sum OF all
wickedness. A liar who would rob his
neighbor of his good name would commit
any crime in the litany from which he prays
to be delivered. Strange as it may seem,
there are many honest and honorable men
who would not take a dollar that was not
their own for the world, who would not say
mean word of anybody, who are Just and
upright in their dealings, and vet whose
consciences, when it comes to politics, sud-
denly sag little, and they rejoice in the
most Infamous abuse of the opposition. 1t
seems to be principle with politicians that
the end Justiies the means. The lawful
whoppers" told and published in the last
campaign show that even as IN David's day
it might be said "all men are liars"-when
it comes to politics.
CURING POLITICAL LYING.
However, the last campaign also exhibited
an Improvement In this matter of political
slander. Psttison's swift suits for libel
show how these can be met hereafter. Judge
Gordon's prompt action in the courts brought
prompt apology for political slander. These
are preeedents for honest candidates to fol-
low that will do something to check the un-
serupulous manufacturers of political lies.
In the matter of love men, in general, feel
themselves privileged to do an immense
amount of lying. During coursship false
hood is easy; felicity is assured; paradise is
at hand.
Atlovers' perjuries
They say Jove laughs
And what wonder7
But while it will be granted that the
world is given to lying, it must be admitted
that conscience, common sense and honesty
play large part in every life, or how could
it keep on improving as it does "Shufling
may serve for a time, but truth will most
certainly carry it in the long rum"
