MAY DAY AMONG THE POLES.

The Children 60 Through q Charming
Ceremony on the southside. o.
May devotional exercises of the Polish
children on the Southside were held last
night. The children to the number of 500
assembled in the schoolhouse at the head of
South Fifteenth street last evening and
marched to the church at South Fifteenth
and Carson streets. Each one of the children
carried lighted candle, and the effect was
beautiful.
The object was for the children to pay the
annual May devotions to the Blessed
Virgin. The exercises lasted about an hour

A Contractor Who Had TO Hustle to Avoid
Paying a Penalty.
Probably there has never been such a
hustle as within the last few days to get
buildings under roof. Where q contractor
had a humber of residences or business
places in course of construction il was upon
those nearest completion that all efforts were
centered so soon as it was definitely known
that there would be strike.
An Allegheny builder who has quite a
rum Der of contracts on hand along Califor.
mia avenue, was also under contract to put
under roof building on Penn avenue be-
fore the mouth OF April ended. There was
a penalty attached to the completion of the
latter structure, and he forthwith crowded
every available man on that one house. The
men worked overtime, aud the builder came
within the provisions of his contract. Yes
terdsy he faced the owners with smile of
satisfaction, while number of carpenters
who had worked on the job were telling
each other how quickly it had been done.

Striking Carpenter Who obeys the Union
but Objects.
There was group of carpenters standing
IN Penn avenue, at the corner of Eleventh
street, yesterday afternoon. They were ex-
,itedlv discussing the advisabiliry of the
strike having been ordered. One man, who
expressed himself as opposed to going ont,
had as much as he could do to hold his own.
He finally left the party, and when ap-
preached by reporter, appeared to be in
IN even worse humor than be had been with
his fellow workers.
i have nothing to say to reporters" he
exclaimed. ''What my opinion is my friends
know. This much will say, however,
have been opposed to this strike right along.
I have thought it not advisable, and 1 still
hold to that opinion. though 1 propose to
stand out with my fellows. My name?
That won't do you any good" And with
that he swung himself down the street.

PROFANITY.

One of the most disgusting and
prevalent vices which is growing to
alarming proportions, and which, in
our opinion, is the duty of every
journalist to help suppress, is pro-
fanity-meaningless, vulgar profani-
ty. Its use is confined to no age, sex
or position. 1t pollutes alike the
conversation of youthful strength
and decrepit age. In the highways
and byways, the counting room and
workshop, and too often in the social
and family circle the ear is dinned by
converse ton interlarded with pro-
family which neither dignifes, empha-
sizes nor embellishes. The stripping
vies with the man Of business in the
intersection of his oaths, and long be-
fore he reaches mans estate has ac-
quired detestable habit which be-
comes second nature, and has Secur-
ed his proficiency as professional
swearer for the term Of his natural
life; so that go where he may his
foul mouth carries tie contagion,
and becomes a veritable cesspool of
slime-a standing menance to the
welfare of society.
Leaving moral or religious con-
siderations entirely out of the ques-
ton, is it not time that this abomi-
naDle, ungentlemanly practice was
abandoned ; and can the press fulfil a
nobler mission than make its inf1u-
ence felt in aid of its suppression
The vernacular of the blackguard,
under all circumstances eprehensible,
is especially out of place in the family
circle, business or social conversation
or friendly greeting; and yet the
practice referred to prevails to a
greater or less extent in all of them
1t is high time to call a halt, to put
the penalty of social ostracism on
the individual who INDUCES in it.
Peculiarly apropos in this connection
are the lines of Cowper:
Maintain your rank, vulgarity despise
| To swear is neither brave, polite nor wise.

AN UNFoRTUNATE INTERRUPTION.

Willie was asleep, and Dan was
lonely Willie is the minister's son;
Dan is his dog. 1t was Sunday
morning, and every one was at
church but these two friends. 1t was
warm and sunny, and they could
hear the preaching, for their house
was next door to the church.
Dan" said Willie, lit is better
here than in church, for you can hear
every word"
In some way, while Willie was lis
tening he fell asleep. Dan kissed him
on the nose; but when Willie went
to sleep he went to sleep to stay, and
did not mind trif1es. So Dan sat
down with the funniest look of care
on his wise black face, and with one
ear ready for outside noises.
Now, the minister had for his sub
ject, Daniel" This was the name
he always gave Dan when he was
teaching him to sit up and beg, and
other tricks. While the dog sat
thinking, the name Daniel fell on
his ready ear Dan at once ran into
the church through the vestry door
He stood on his hind legs, with his
forepaws close beside the minister,
who did not see him, but the congre-
cation did. When the minister
shouted Daniel again, the sharp
barks said Yes, SIR" as plainly as
Dan could answer.
The minister started back, looked
around, and saw the funny picture.
Then he wondered what he should
do next; but just then through the
vestry came Willie. His face was
rosy from sleep, and he looked little
frightened He walked straight to-
wards his father and took Dan in his
arms, and said
please 'scuse Dan, papa. 1 went
asleep, and he ruined away"
Then he walked out with Dan look
ing back on the smiling congregation.
The preacher ended his sermon on
Daniel as best he could, but then he
made resolve, if he ever preached
again on the prophet Daniel, he
would tie up that dog.-[Our Little
Ones
