one of the most fashionable churches
in the city and was noted for her
punctual attendance at the regular
services and at prayer meetings. But
what was the character Of her house
and how did she make living?
Talk about whited sepulchres. 1t
was proven conclusively that
her house was the vilest Of
places and her explanation and excuse
made the matter ten times worse than
1t would have been. She told the in
spector that he ought to be especially
lenient with her because none but the
most respectable men and women came
to her place, and they were all mem.
bers of her own church. This was en-
deavoring to legalize and excuse crime
with vengeance by making the
house church institution. 1t is The
first time, however, we have eve
known a house of such character to b,
kept for the exclusive use of church
} members.
Now who will say that such hideou
} and outrageous affairs should not b
: exposed and condemned. If tn
church will pursue its proper and lie

remarkable healthfulness to that fact.
Many other cases of a similar charac-
ter have been brought to our notice,
and we have no doubt but that the
increased eating Of fruit would add
largely to the worlds sum of happl-
ness.
There is another feature to the sug-
gestion that would certainly be bene-
fetal In commercial way, as well as
in other ways that will naturally sug-
gest themselves in this connection. A
large increase Of fruit-eating would,
Of course, immensely increase the de-
mand for fruit, and that would, OF
course, increase the supply. Thus
fruit trees would become much more
frequent, in all their beauty, anC

OURS For HEALTH

Tomorrow the State Board of Health
will meet at Spokane and will be reor-
gained. It's reorganization arose from
the fact that the act creating the
board did not contain an emergency
clause, and was therefore construed
as not being an appropriation bill.
Thus the act did not go into effect
until June 6, and hence the appointed
members of the board appointed prior
to that time were not defacto men,
bers of the board. A private letter to
the member from this city, DR.. Hath
away, from the secretary of the board
says Governor Ferry will, in all proba-
bility, reappoint the gentlemen APP
pointed prematurely, and as that was
probably done by the governor yester-
day, the State Board of Health will be
able to convene, as legal body, Mon
day, June s, at Spokane. Thus a tech
nicality that interfered with the legit-
innate work of the board heretofore
will have lapsed by time, and we are
informed that the meeting on Monday
at Spokane will be held.

SOME SHOWS

If ever young city has been dosed,
bilked and defrauded by "fiy-by-
night" "one-horse," pitifully poor
shows in a general way, Fairhaven
has. A few have been great, some
have been fair, but the majority have
been frightfully lean, except In the
matter of "ham fat" The few good
shows that have been here since there
was a place in which show could be
given, were at such prices that they
couldn't do it again; the poor ones
have come on their own hook, and the
Fairhaven managers are not to blame
for it. Doubtless the youth
of the city has been more
the cause of the bad shows than any
thing else, and the never-dying dis
position of large number of people
to want to see anything in the nature
of a play has given several of the
queerest show outfits that have ever
Travelled a good support. This sort of
thing gets out among the fake
gangs traveling-by foot and other
wise-over the country, and the result
has been that they have made a rusf
for Fairhaven. In general way, how
ever, the public knows good show by
its advance atmosphere and for the
most part the horse-plays have not
Jared we'll. They, however, do not
need much to live on as their member
ship is generally composed of the rank
est novices and old-time failures who
have long ago learned how to live OF
air, and very thin air at that.
There is a remedy for this, ant
while 1t may look hard to the loca
managers, it will pay in the end, tina
is simply to never engage to to com
pany that is not firstrclass, hall o
other accommodations; the bette
class of companies would then com
and the queer ones would numerousl
stay away. OF course, such a pre-
ceeding would have the effect o
reducing the number OF shows, but
would insure the playhouse man, tn
bill-postei ct al of their pay, whicl
otherwise they get little of; it woul
make the coming of those that did ge
B in remunerative to them, and it woul
: give the public something in tn
nature Of quad pro quo. Altogether

like angel visits in more than the ger
orally accepted character Of sue

AS TO THAT

With reverence for pure religion
born of religious surroundings, and
deeply instilled by the incontroverti-
BILE evidences that earnest religion is
good for souls and societies, while IL
is ever beautiful, the HERALD would
under any circumstances approach a
criticism of church affairs, even when
they might most palpably deserve 1t.
But there is nothing perfect on earth;
nothing invaluable, hence the church
per Sc with other earthly things, is
often open to criticism. This, not
withstanding the fact that Pennsyl-
vania clergyman lately presented the
absurd, groundless andvery vulnerable
doctrine that the press should not crit
ever, because adverse criticism is Ii
able to injure the church and bring it
into more OF less disrepute. No doubt
this would please both the church and
laity, but we are glad to say that the
newspapers are now speaking right
out In meeting, as it were, and de-
manding that the church must keep
Its shirt clean IL it would avoid being
called to account for the misdeeds of
its preachers and members. Such
men as the Pennsylvania clergyman
cry out, "Oh, you must say nothing
against the church, for you know it
will injure the cause" They do not
consider at the same time that the
scandals atsare'occurringsefre frequent
Iy among them are doing the cause of
religion more harm than anything else
put together, and that such conduct
deserves to be promptly exposed and
most heartily condemned. The truth
is, that the newspapers and even indi-
viduals have, until the past few years,
been governed too much entirely by the
idea that the church should be exempt
from adverse criticism, because the
cause of religion is injured thereby.
III we consider the question from the
proper standpoint, 1t Is to be easily
understood that the church, above all
other institutions, should challenge
criticism, and certainly not fear it.
The fact, however, nowadays is patent
to everyone that the church is so
vulnerable it is no wonder that SO
many clergymen and laymen are afraid
to see the broad light of truthful criti-
cism thrown upon their conduct. The
best possible way, In our opinion, to
correct the abuses so generally com
planned of is to apply the pruning knife
In the shape Of honest, but forcible
criticism. A few weeks since the
police became suspicious that there
was something wrong going on in one
OF the most fashionable neighborhoods
in Chicago. The patrolmen failed tc
discover anything and the inspector
took the matter In hand. After long
and diligent search his labors were
rewarded in most surprising and
sensational manner. He discovered
that there was house In which re-
sided widow lady whose character
before had been beyond reproach
She was a member In good standing Of

EAT FRUIT

There is one Ill to which flesh is
heir, that IL it could be eliminated
would increase the happiness Of the
world probably twenty-five per cent,
and that is dyspepsia in its various
forms and extent. With Indigestion
comes much of the meanness OF men.
1t has doubtless caused more useless
quarrels, provoked the utterance of
more bitter and pain-giving words
than any other one element Of which
we have any knowledge, and it Is al
most certain that IL the people Of the
world would eat more fruit, casually,
as it were, and less OF other and indi-
gestible stuff, the decrease of indiges-
ton, and consequent unhappiness,
would be proportionate.
An eminent gentleman of one OF the
Western states, once told this writer
that he had suffered for years from
dyspepsia, aud during the time was an
appalling trial to himself and friends
until he was at last advised to "eat
fruit" He thereupon accustomed
himself to the habit OF purchasing
here and there during the day, when
in the neighborhood OF fruit stand
an apple, an orange, some cherries, a
peach or pear, and thus almost dieted
himself on fruit, and In little while
his Indigestion was gone, and he and
those with whom he was brought In
contact we're the gamers, by large
degree, in happiness. The habit he
continued. and largely attributes bis

Ex-President Hayes denies the re-
port that he is growing feeble-minded.
One of the best evidences of the truth
OF the report is that he was feeble
minded enough to pay any attention
to it. There is very strong reason,
however, for not believing that Hayes
is growing feeble-minded. But as
that is obvious, it is not necessary to
mention it.

Temptation

Mrs. Elizabeth Lyle Saxon writes to
the Reveille to say, The following ex-
quisite sermon in rhyme, is from the pen
of our gifted townswoman, Mrs. Ella Hig-
ginson. AS an engaged writer for the
West Shore, she was not to enter the list
as competitor for the prize offered. She sent
this little gem, copied by friend, and
mailed in distant town by another
friend, signing the name Jeanette w.
Lockwood. 1t took the first prize in the
West Shore. My admiration FOR the
sweetness and power of the poem and the
solemn warning 1t gives, causes me to ask
for It's republication over her own sigma
ture, in her town paper. l am going fast
down life's hill, but here make this
prophecy, her townspeople will yet be
Justly proud of her fame when 1T becomes
as 1t surely will, national" The follow
ing is the poem:
| met temptation in wood;
She reached her tender arms to me,
And OF her eyes were warm and dark,
And OF her lips were sweet to see;
Her unbound hair was fiecked with gold.
Like sunlight trembling thro' the leaves,
And, OF her voice was soft and low,
Like winds among the harvest sheaves.
Her breast seemed pure and white as snow
New-fallen on some mountain height,
Where only SHOWS on white SHOWS fall,
From night to day, from day to night.
Her slender waist was girdIed round
With purple peoples crimson-tipped;
And, OF her breath was like red wine.
NJ oh dalfafnua ltpnaAs
The light was dim within that wood
kissed her, and knew no more
Until | heard the sad sea waves
Breaking their hearts against the shore,
And moaning like some living thing
| That could not bear its weight of woe;
Then | remembered other ties,
And, all remorseful, prayed to go.
But, lol the arms that held me close,
Were hot as fire. strong as death;
Her golden hairs were bauds of steel,
And burning scorching, was her breath.
The peoples, dying at her waist
Petal by petal, fiuttered down;
Her lips we're dry and parched, and
Her eyes were Swallowed by frown.
The night was black within that wood,
And still the waves sobbed on the shore.
Temptation, prayed I-but she laughed
formulation" is your love no more;
Temptation having won you, tired
And gave you me; my name is Sim
And l will hold you close till death
/ Behold Temptation is my twin"

of the term "tin-horn organs" when
referring to any newspaper in this

more discreditable to the Review than
it is to the papers alluded to. "Tin-
horn" is an epithet usually applied to
the lowest class of sure-thing gam
blers, otherwise thieves. There are
several very respectable newspapers in
this state which have seen fit to de.
fend Lieutenant-Governor Laughtor
