An Awful Break.

TfOM Wt NtW lOFE WOftU.
The caterers and florists of the town
have recently come to the conclusion that
it is about time for the talors who serve
fashionable families to make some abso-
lutte distinction between the swallow-tail
coats furnished to the propretors of man
sions up town and those supplied to the
buffers thereof. The difference in cut
and trimming is now scarcely noticeable.
The garments for gentlemen are cut some-
but this fact is only discoverable by ex-
perts in the matter of clothes. Not long
ago the representative of prominent
florist in town was arranging the decora-
tions of dinner table, and his proceed
ings were watched with good deal of in
terest by the prospective hostess and a
portly individual whom she addressed oc-
casionally as William.
William was directed to move this
piece and then to move another one, and
the decorator finally called William into
his service and told William to place one
OF the vases a little further down the
table, which William Immediately did.
A few minutes subsequently the decorator
observed, very much to his astonshment,
that William had passed O tip to boy
who had accompanied him to the house,
and who was assisting him in handling
lers were not in the habit of tipping boys,
and he took an early occasion To ask the
boy who William" was, and the boy
very promptly answered that William
was the master Of the house. Thereafter
! the decorator was very deferentiai to
William, but II was rather an awkward
break.

The Catholic Church.

From he Pittsburg Chronicle. 1tiegrdph.
A Catholic directory of the world is al
most ready for distribution.
The advance sheets impart interesting
information pertaining to the Roman
Catholic Church in the United States.
The archdiocese, dioceses and vicariates
IN all number eighty-seven. There are
fourteen archdioceses and six vicariates.
The latter are sees not yet fully elevated,by
the Church to a bishopric. The names of
such dioceses are the vicariates of North
Carolina, Idaho, Brownsville, Utah, Ari-
zona and the fect.Apostolic of Indian
more, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Mil
waukee, New Orleans, New York, Oregon,
Philadelphia, st. Louis, 81. Paul, San
Francisco and Santa Fe.
The regular dioceses number G7. The
total number of priests is S,778. or these
1854 are so-called regular, or priests of the
different orders, and 6,42i are secular
priests. There are 1851 regular churches,
besides 1,750 chapels and 2,sil stations.
The latter are places where there are not
yet any churches or regularly stationed
priests.
There are 30 theological seminaries with
LII students. Besides there are 123 col
leges and GOO Sisters Academies, or train
ing schools for girls and young ladies. OF
parochial schools there are 3,277 with All
attendance of 665,32S scholars, and the
Catholic population is placed at $3.50 $685.
There are at least half million Catholics
who have either fallen away from the
Church altogether, or who for many years

tion of the United States at the present
time can be estimated as being fully

Mormon Marital Discipline.
From he CHICAGO Herald.

rum Ut tNttUUU HtIVu.
Frederick Hancock, Mormon and ex-
polygamist, made some remarks recently
in the rotunda Of the Auditorium Hotel
that throw new light on the marriage
question. Several gentlemen were dis
cussing that important topic, and they
came to the unanimous conclusion that
Mona Card was right. Mr.. Hancock dis
sentcd, and he spoke from experience. He
had had nine wives, he said, with whom
he had lived happily until the United
States Government had seen fit to inter
fere with the domestic relations of the
Mormons. The reason for so much do
mestic felicity he explained as follows:
His wives were always dreading lest an
addition should be made to their number,
and, therefore, all strove, by making
home as pleasant rs possible, TO show
their husband that they did not need an
assistant. Whenever things failed to go
right at home Mr.. Hancock would take
new wife and commence courtng still
another. Perhaps ii this genial Nor
mon had come to the front earlier po-
lygamy would never have been abolished.
According to his explanation IL seems to
be q sort Of self-regulating institution. If
Mr.. Hancock had married nine Chicago
girls he might have q different story to
tell.

The English Church.

Fy0m me 4NeW York Tribune.
There are some interesting facts in the
"Otfical Year Book" of the Anglican
Church just issued. During the last five
years the voluntary offerings of the people
for church building and restoration
amounted to nearly s25,0O0,00O. During
the same period the sums contributed for
the endowment of benefices amounted
to nearly 81, ,350,000. For the building of
parsonage houses S2,250,000 has been
raised, and for burial grounds Si70,000.
In other words the voluntary contribu-
tions of the Church for five years aggre-
gate nearly S32000,000. This does not
include the money given for the annual
maintenance of Church work at home
and abroad, which would very largely
swell the sum total.
IL is often asserted that the English
Church is sluggish institution, only kept
alive by subsidies from the State, but this
doesn't look much like it. A religion
which so~efiectually reaches the pocket
must have good deal of vitality in it.

A Lefty Lynde Night Dress.

London society has new fad. 1t is
learning the long-skirt dance made so
popular on the stage by Lefty Lynde and
Sylvia Gray, of the Gaiety Company. An
account says
These two young ladies have their hands
full initiating society beauties in the art
and mystery of this solo dancing. In
fact, this has now become feature in
many drawing.room entertainments, at
one of which, given this week by Lady
Emily Cherry, her pretty daughter,
Gladys, danced the graceful long,skirt
dance, over which you, in company with
us raved some time ago. Apropos of Miss
Lynde, she has supplied a name for the
most luxurious night dress which the
mind Of man or woman has conceived or
skillful fingers made. If you want to be
in fashion you must have Lefty Lynde
night dress. IL is an ACCORDION plated
garment made of soft silk in delicate
shades of cream, pale blue, pale pink or
pale yellow, to suit the complexion of the
wearer. The accordion killing is set in
quite small, square yoke, and pink en-
pire frills of silk fall back over the throat
and from the wrist of the accordeon killed

THERE SEEMS TO BE 10 doubt that the
circumstances connected with the HEARsT
funeral were in many respects unpleasant.
II has long been known to the initiated
that the average Congressional funeral is
much more OF junket than ceremony
and deep disgust has invariably attended
u careful scrutiny of the Sergeant-at-
Arms bill of costs. The items of
gloves, carriages and ''sundries" J We
always been disgracefully large, and gen.
orally, IL has been too evident that the
Congressional committees attending the
obsequies were far more intent on "was.
sail and upgodly glee" than on the solemn
functions they theoretically performed.
The ~'yole custom, as well as everything
come, - with It, has fallen into sus-
picion and contempt. 1t is regarded
as an exhibition of impudent hypoc-
risy, an unmcaning humbug, a
transparent pretext for indulgence in
lavish If not vulgar conviviality at the
Government expense. That such is the
view generally taken of 1t was sufficiently
shown in the HEARST episode. So soon
as the impression got abroad that there
were to be some unusual features in con-
neotion with the trip, there ensued as
coarse and noisy scramble for invitations
as though IL were 10 be a holiday ex-
cursioD instead of a funeral cortege.
Not scores, but hundreds wanted

and even invaded the widows desolate

abhorrent rivalry, and did so without
even the affectation Of respect for the
dead or desire to honor his memory.

new, however, in the episode. 1t
simply happened that the vulgarity and

A Cowhiding Circus.

FROM Wo NfW lOfE Hefutu.
Drs. Edward Il. Fenley and f. NJ. Bond
in the early hours of Tuesday morning
were standing near the corner of Forty
fourth street and Broadway, when DR..
Fenley's attention was attracted to an ele-
gantly dressed woman sweeping her silken
skirts along under the glare of the electric
lights. She was graceful woman, and
apparently lady. Suddenly the beauti-
ful blonde darted across to the west side
of Broadway.
Her change of course was speedily ex-
planned. A man stood waiting for her on
the opposite corner. AS she approached
him he raised his glossy silk hat and
smiled. The next moment the doctors
saw the lady produce whip from the
folds of her dress and begin lashing her
smiling friend about the head and
shoulders. Crack, crack, crack went the
whip, while he of the glossy hat lodged
the lash like jumping jack begging for
mercy the while, and entreating the
woman by every pet name in the vocabu.
larry to be calm.
But she only lashed him the harder,
until finally, in despair, he took to his
heels and boarded q passing car. She
gazed after him with scorn In her face
and then walked rapidly up Broadway.

- Now THAT GENERAL JOHN NJ. PALMER
has been elected Senator ii is interesting
10 note what WEBSTER has to say of the
meaning of the word. 1t is as follows:
Palmer. ]. One who palms or cheats,
as at cards or dice.
2. A wandering religious votary; espe-
cially one who visited the Holy Land and
its sacred places, and bore q branch of
palm in token theneof; an incessant pill
grim; one. who spent all his time in visit
ing holy shrines.
A note says: ''The difference between a
pilgrim and palmer was this: The pill
Enm had some home or dwelling place,
the palmer had none. The pilgrim trav-
eled to some certain, designed place or
places, but the palmer to ALL"
The first definition may be dismissed as
it has no bearing on the case. General
PALMER played the game with scrupulous
fairness. But many Republicansin in view of
General PALMER's political pilgrimage
from one party TO the other will aver that
he is really political palmer. He began
life as Democrat, became Republican
and was elected Governor, left that party
and rejoined the Democrats and has now
embraced" many of the principles of the
Farmers Alliance. Perhaps, however,
he is rather pilgrim than palmer in
asmuch as his recent political journey
was to certain designed place."
