Where the CurfeW is Still Rung.

For many century there has been
rung in the ancient city of Sandwich,
the old Clnque Port of Kent, the Curfew
bell, which marked at one period so dis
tinctive feature of English life. The
Church of St. Peter has maintained this
custom up to the present day, but adj
verse fortune now threatens to extingulsh
this honored relic of past ages. A Sand
wich paper says that relations are some
what strained between the rector and the
sexton of St. Peters, and as the fund
from which the latter was paid IS now
claimed by the church wardens the sexton
IS consequently in the dilemma of having
a time-honored Office without any salary.
At the Easter vestry his reelection was
mooted, and he thought it very hard,
and naturally too, that he should have
to work for nothing. He inquired If IN
the event of his giving up the office the
rector would have power to prevent him
from carrying out his duties as ringer of
the Curfew bell, but no one could inform
him. We trust, says the Pail Mall
Budget, the rector will not allow this in
teresting custom to fall into desuetude,
and perhaps, if he be anything of an
antiquarian, he will see to its observance

The Census in New York and in Phil
aGaIphia.

The census of New York City at the
best constitutes a most difficult problem.
says General Francis A. Walker in the
Forum. In comparison with such a
task, census of Philadelphia is child's
play. There we have city openly
built, with ninety houses to every hun
dred families. Tenement houses are
rare. Few of the people sleep in stables,
in cellars, or in lofts. The houses are
set squarely on the streets. Four-ffths
of the inhabitants are native born, and
all but trifing percentage are of Eng
fish speech. Merely to state these facts
is, to one who knows anything of New
York, enough to show the difficulties of
enumeration in that city, which in 1880
had for 243, 157 families but 70, 664
dwellings, of which perhaps 10000
were tenement houses within the mean
ing of the sanitary acts. New York is
city with crowded and crooked courts
and alleys in the lower parts, and with
thousands of shanties, sheds, and inhab-
tied sites in the upper parts, and its pop
ulation is almost equally divided between
natives and foreigners, no small proper
ton of the latter element using lam
guages other than English-not merely
the more or less familiar German and
French, but Slavic and even on-Aryan

FATAL WATERSPOUT,
Loss of Life and Property on the
Texas Border

A terrific waterspout, accompanied by
windstorm, has visited the vicinity OF
Frazier Greer County, Texas, causing heavy
loss of life and property. Rain had been
falling several days and at eleven o'clock in
the night waterspout burst and in few
minutes the streets were four feet deep IL
water, presenting the appearance OF rag
ing torrent.
All the business houses were flooded. The
men with great difficulty succeeded in re-
moving the women and children to places OF
safety. Three persons were drowned In
Turkey Creek-Pomp Poindexter, a young
farmer. his sister and young man named
Albright.
The dwelling house of Captain Phillips was
lifted from its foundation and carried nearly
a mile, when it was hurled against a tre4
and wrecked. Phillips and one of his daugh.
tiers caught some floating debris and were
washed ashore half a mile from where the
house was demolished. Mrs Phillips ano
her babe caught a plank and We're washed
into the branches of large tree, where they
remained till next day, when they were
rescued in boat.
A large number of houses were blown
down and many others washed away. Dug.
outs were filled with water and hundreds Of
people rendered homeless and all their live
stock, crops and other property swept away.
A young farmer named Burdone, who was
trying to reach the shore in ferry boat,
was thrown from the boat and drowned.
Near Leoni, thirty miles from Gainesville,
on Red River, the dead bodies of man,
woman and little child were found in
a drift, they having been drowned during
the late overflow. The bodies have not yet
been identified. W. w. Lynn, farmer re-
siding on Hickory Creek. was drowned in
that stream.

GORDON CUMMING WEEDS.
His Bride is Wealthy New York
Beauty

Sir William Gordon Cumming, the de-
feated plaintiff in the famous baccarat case
tried in London, England, was married at II
o'clock ON the morning after the verdict was
rendered, in the fashionable Holy Trinity
Church at Chelsea, to Miss Florence Garner,
daughter of the late Commodore William
Garner of New York City. Lord Thurlow
gave the bride away. Major Vesey Dawson,
of the Coldstream Guards, was the best man.
The Rev B. Robert Eyton officiated. The
marriage was practically a secret one, and
only twelve persons were present.
When the verdict was pronounced against
him, Sir William offered to cancel his en-
gagement to Miss Garner, but she believing
in his innocence would not hear Of such
thing and indeed insisted that the marriage
should take place. In an interview previous
to her departure for Nottingham
shire, Lady Cumming said that she
was as confident of her husbands
innocence as she was that the sun was
shining to-day. Sir William and his wife
will visit the United States in the autumn.
The brides income is estimated by the Lon
don newspapers at $50 600 to S1OO,0
Miss Florence Garner is the eldest daugh-
ter of William T Garner, of New York

AFTERGLOw.

After the suns last ray
Has left the mountain crest,
Taking the golden day
To lands Of the waiting West;
After the darkness falls
Swift on the parting hour,
After the night enthralls
Vine-laced lane and tower:
Like Pushes of early dawn
With rose-tints permeate,
Up from the glory gone,
Springs glory re-create,
Over the realms of cloud,
Over the earth below,
And night holds back her shroud,
In the splendor Of afterglow.
After the light OF love
Fades in hopeless night,
A glory from above
Fills the heart with arter-light
And when life's bright ray
1eaveth its loved in woe,
The hearts it loved find day
In its beautiful afterglow.

DOWN THE GRADE.
Brakemen Lose Control of Their
Train, and Loss of Life Results.

While coming down the Allegheny Noun
tains from Lloydsville, Penn, to Bellwood, on
the Pennsylvania and Northwestern Rail-
road, about midnight heavy coal train got
beyond the control of the trainmen, and.
dashing down the grade, the heaviest in
America east Of the Rocky Mountains was
piled up and smashed into kindling wood at
a curve about three miles north of Bell
wood.
The engine and twenty-five cars lay piled
up in a mass of broken wood and twisted
iron at the bottom of the ravine, and among
the debris were the bodies of the conductor,
engineer and one brakeman, with almost all
semblance to humanity crushed out of them
The other train hands escaped with their
lives, but all were more or less injured. The
accident is supposed to have been caused by
wet rails and the air brakes refusing TO WORK
properly.

MURDEROUS PIRATES.
They Kill Six Russian Soldiers on
BatOum.

A boat containing five Russian soldiers
met off Batoum strange boat manned by
twelve pirates. The officer in command Of
the soldiers ordered the pirates to stop and
allow the soldiers boat to run alongside of
them. The pirates answered by firing a
volley from their rifles at the soldiers, killing
four of them. The pirates then escaped, and
the two surviving soldiers pulled ashore and
gave the alarm. A boat manned by four
soldiers then went in pursuit Of the pirates
and managed to overhaul them. Again the
pirates fired, killing two and wounding the
two remaining of the four Russian troopers
sent in pursuit of their boat.
The wounded Russians managed to pull
ashore and gave an account of their expert
ences. The result was that a third boat this
time better manned, was sent after the
pirates. The latter made good their escape.

suit.

1t is not likely that tea gowns will
ever go out Of fashion. They are too
comfortable, too graceful, and far too
picturesque to be forsaken, at least until
some garment with similar or greater
advantages and attractions can be de-

appeared. Most women never look so
well as in flowing robes that follow,
though not too closely, the lines Of the

permissible in an ordinary day gown.

What joy to stand at break of day,
Watching the gathering glory
OF sunlight Frightening all the way.
With bird note song and story;
When the Queen of Morn comes forth with
pride.
Both heaven and earth adorning;
When the Hand of God throws open wide
All the Windows of the Morning.
When low in the eastern sky afar
Hangs a molten mirror olden;
Where breeZes leap from star to star,
Through sun rays growing golden;
When scenes of darkness fade and flee
Away from the hours of dawning;
When the face of the God of Day we see
Through the Windows of the Morning.
When nature smiles and weeps in turn,
But not with tears of sadness;
When morning mists from flowing urn
Pour life and JOY and gladness;
When Sol in golden chariot rides
Forth proudly without scorning;
When in the heavens his glory bides
Near the Windows of the Morning.
Inspiring thought-that when our time
OF life on earth is ended
There's promise of world sublime
Where earth and heaven are blended;
Where day and night will be once more
Joined in a new life dawning,
When, mirrored on a shining shore,
Ope the Windows of the Morning.

Monday Better Than Saturday.


A change of school holiday from Sat-
urday to Monday is discussed among
teachers of some of the private schools
in the city. 1t has been tried in few
instances by boarding schools out of the
city. The experiment so far has proved
encouraging, especially in the matter Of
scholarship. Pupils come better pre-
pared with lessons Tuesday morning
than they formerly did when Monday
recitations followed rest The mark
ings, at any rate, show better up to this
time.
This is the theory upon which the
change is advocated. Those who go
home from boarding schools or semi
naries to spend Sunday, leave Friday
night and return Monday morning, often
late for recitations and usually unpre-
pared. Monday morning has thus never
been satisfactory to teachers or pupils at
such schools. Tardy returns Monday
morning seem unavoidable, not only be-
cause trains are infrequent Sunday, but
also because parents do not want their
children to travel that day.
With the change proposed pupils can
get home as easily after school Saturday
as they can Friday. Their Sunday is un-
disturbed, and parents are disposed to
start them back to school Monday after
noon. Tuesdays lessons can thus be
prepared Monday evening. In a less de-
gree the experiment has proved benefi-
cial also to pupils who live at or near
the school. Saturday study is out of the
question when that day is a holiday, and
Sunday study never did find favor with
pupils or parents. The new order reme-
dies all tlIat.-New York Times
