the home part of it by spending awhile
with my married sister.
All the family except the husband
were seated comfortably at the break
fast table at seven o'clock precisely,
for that was the hour insisted upon by
the head of the house. This gave half
an hour to enjoy the bountiful and
carefully prepared meal, and fifteen
minutes to wal k calmly to the railroad
station. But John, the train catcher
was not at his place. The servant rang
the breakfast bell twice after we had
commenced las we had to by Johns"
explicit orders and regulations and
my sister thrice left the table and
called upstairs that it was late. Final
ly one of the children was sent to see
If papa was awake and to mention the
time and came back reporting that
papa was just getting out of bed.
Then commenced in the room above
commotion that startled me, though
none of the others paid attention to it.
Bare feet heard running cross the
floor first to one place then to another
then q mans voice shot through the
hall wanting to know where his clean
shirt was and his collar and his neck
tie and the Lord knows what else.
Then slams and bangs of doors and
sounds of drawers being opened and
shut mingled with angry ejaculations
and more rushing about.
Then the cyclone sounded nearer and
into the dining-room popped Mr.. John
fastening his necktie on his unbuttoned
collar and trying to pull his cuffs over
his wrists.
He glanced at the clock and-''Why
didn't you call me before? Don't you
know it's after train time" ETC., ETC.,
he savagely asked.
Without waiting for a reply and mel.
Their expecting any, he jumped to the
table and half sat on his chair. "GiYe
me my coffee quick! Where's the bis
cult? Pass me something only got
five mi nutes," he spluttered and then
began ramming things in his overloaded
mouth, boiling them till he choked
and finished by scalding himself we'll
with the hot coffee-which pleased me
immensely.
His breakfast (?) took four minutes
by the clock.
Then up he jumped with: where's
my hat?-who took my coat? Find my
umbrella" When they were handed to
him by different members of the upset
family out he bounded-as if fired from
cannon-nevers saying good BY" and
off he rushed to join the rest of the
| train chasers
1t was an hour before the household
was restored to peace and quietness
again.
I'm glad am not married. 1 would
soon be made crazy by such goings on.
l think a man ought to have more
| sense than to make himself and his
family dyspeptic and nervous just by
being too lazy to get up in proper time.

In a few minutes, however, they
COOLED off, bought paper, took seat
inside, looked at the news and mopped
their faces as demurely as could he.
AS for me, now understanding fully
the cause of the insane proceedings
which had puzzled me at first, I just
laughed in spite of my efforts to look
solemn.
Luckily none of the sheepish look
ing comm uters saw my unsympathetic
levity or if they did they were ashamed
to notice it.
On talking afterward about the af-
fair with friends who lived on that and
! other streets and in other country
| towns 1 was surprised to learn that
this mad racing and chasing occurred
every day.
was also informed that in winter,
after fresh snow fall, these ridiculous
scenes were intensified and much more
amusing owing to the frequent tumbles
in the soft slush and frantic struggles
to get through the drifts after the loco
motives whistle was heard.
AS 1 have remarked, 1 am a maiden
lady, and consequently was naturally
surprised at the remarkable and
strange way that men have in catch
ing trains.
1 knew very well that when a WON
an travels she plans everything ahead,
and, giving her self plenty of time,
marches in a dignifed, leisurely and
respectable manner to the station. He1
only fault, if it be one, is to reach that
place good half hour before the train
arrives.
Twill confess, however, that on her
home trip from the city she is not SO
successful, for she can never tell wher
her shopping will be through and there
fore makes it a matter of chance a.
to what train she will catch to return
on.
Still, her actions going to trains are
consistent with her higher apprecia
ton of order and good management
The only time she attracts attention b,
an undue excitement and speed on thu
street is when she happens to be will

she is certainly not to blame.
She has no choice then but to be

WHEN DAYLIGHT FADES.

When daylight fades
A silence broodeth over all the land,
The waves creep slowly up the glisten1ng SAND,
The FOSTERING wind grows strangely still,
More sweetly sounds the music OF the r1ll,
When daylight fades.
When daylight fades
Long shadows gather the pine crowned
hills,
The messy wheel turns slowly at the mill,
The downy chickens seek their mothers wing,
The cricket in the long lush grasses sing,
When daylight fades.
When daylight fades
The whippoor-will pipes forth his lonely CALL
The dewdrops glisten on the old stone wall,
While fire flies flash their lamps across the
way,
When daylight fades.
When daylight fades
The flowers dropping, nestle in their beds,
And babies nodding curly, drowsy heads,
Are pillowed on their loving mothers breast,
All living things are touched to tender rest.
When daylight fades.
When daylight fades
Into deaths dreamless lethe dipped starless
night,
What fields elysian touched with unknown
light
What sun kissed arching azure summer skies,
What f1ower-gemmed world will greet our
waking eyes,
When daylight fades.

the big city of New York, the other
day, was struck by a number of singu-
lar occurrences.
AS l passed along, happening to be
going in the direction of the railroad
station, noticed that the front doors
of most of the houses suddenly burst
open and that man in a state of ex-
element bounced forth from each, and
Immediately started on run down the
street toward the railroad.
Some of them had their mouths full
of food-apparently part of their
which they were painfully
trying to swallow; others carried coats
which they struggled to get into while
they were running; nearly all but
toned their vests while leaping down
the front steps, and several had neck
ties and collars in their hands instead
of around their Threats.
Many of these frenzied and wild-eyed
individuals were followed to the front
gates by women rushing after them and
frantically calling on their husbands,
as l supposed, to stop. Some of these
women had letters in their hands
which were snatched and madly pock-
eted by those of the men who were
stayed by their fair pursuers; others,
after catching their man, quickly gave
him kiss, the smack of which seemed
to me to be louder than necessary; and
not few shouted the names of articles
used in the kitchen and sewing room
with the injunction added that they
must not be forgotten.
Some of the men never stopped at all,
Dut contented themselves by only turn
ing, for an instant, in their f1ight-just
long enough to wave their hands to the
girls they left behind them" and get
back kiss thrown from the ladies'
fingers or a salute from handkerchief
or napkin. In most cases think it was
the napkin.

A SURPRISED WIFE
Mrs. YOrke AstOunded When
Told She Was Divorced.
THE HUSBAND AGAIN MARRIED
How Capt. Yorke, Ex-Assistant q. s. Navy
Paymaster, Got Rid of His Wife.

The Complaint Published in an Obscure
Dakota Paper-.It Alleges UnfaithEul-
ness, Which Charge Is Indignantly Do
MED by Mrs. Yorke--The Captain MAJ
ried the Widow of a Russian Count--Ths
Divorce to be Contested.
SEA GIRT N. j., Oct. 22.-The report
that divorce had been granted by the
Oak ota coarts to Captain Lewis A.
Yorke created intense surprise here,
where Mrs. Yorke has handsome sum-
mer cottage and is we'll known. She
as the most astonished person of all,
for she was not aware that her husband
was seeking q divorce.
About week ago Captain Yorke, who
for 80 years has been Assistant Paymas-
ter of che United States Navy, was mar
ried at Bismarck, N. D., to Evelyn,
Countess Deszchlinska, of Russia. The
Countess had lived for several months at
Dawson, N. D., and met Captain Yorke
at Bismarck by appointment
The Fargo divorce records show that a
decree of separation was granted to Cap
tain Yorke on September 16. The pa
pers prove that an affidavit was made
that Mrs. Emma Yorke could not be
found in this country.
The summons was published in an
| obscure weekly paper in Fargo. The
complaint charges her with improper in
timacy with E. Despinville Picot.
The charges made by the ex-Paymas-
ter that his wife was intimate with E.
Despinville Picot Mrs. Yorke character
ICES as false and slanderous Mr.. Picot
has for years been a friend of Mrs.
Yorke's family, who are well-known in
Pennsylvania and have beautiful
country seat at Bryan Mawr.
Mrs. Yorke AYERS that the charges made
by her husband that she had been in
Philadelphia Baltimore and Florida with
Picot are cruelty and maliciously false.
She has employed George Northrop, a
prominent Philadelphia lawyer, who has
known her since childhood, to begin pro-
ceedings against the eX-Paymaster to
have his alleged divorce declared fraudu-
lent.
Mrs Yorke declares that the alleged
new wife of Capt. Yorke is not the wido W
of a Russian count, as she claims, but il
still the legal wife of q subordinat,
officer in the United States Army. Mrs.
Yorke says that she has met the alleged
countess and knows all about her.
The friends of Mrs. Yorke's family say
that her husbands conduct caused thu
separation Of the couple two years ago
After the separation the Captain wen
West and secured the divorce, whi CHI i
claimed to be bogus.
Mrs. Yorke's family say that wher
the suit being now instituted by he
comes into court her good character will
be proven beyond question, and bot
Captain Yorke's so-called divorce an
second marriage will be shown to
illegal.

Archbishop Irelands response to the
toast Church and Country" at the ju-
bilee of Bishop Hennessy, in Dubuque,
la, recently, was one of the most re-
markable declarations ever made by
Catholic prelate in this country. 1t was
filled with the most noble and patriotic
sentiments. A few excerpts will show
the broad spirit of the address:
Church and Country; soul and body;
and one is necessary to the other, and
there is no distinction between the love
we owe to the one and that which the
other demands.
1.-The Church Thou art always and
everywhere fair, for thou art the
daughter of the skies, but it does seem
to me that at times in thy history thy
mantle is brighton than thy features,
more joyous and indicating more
strength, and l hail thee here in Amer
lea, for here thou art entirely thyself
free as the air we breathe; impeded by
no force, whether of avowed enemy or
fast friend.
"My Country hail thee with all the
loyalty that a heart can own. l hail
thy constitution which is liberty persona
| fled and brought down into acts of life
from the regions of possibilities in
which it lay concealed before America
became known. l hail thy starry ban

would be themselves slaves or would
make slaves of others.
Church and Country ! May we ever
be loyal to them. Oh, banner of my
country, swear to thee fidelity All
Americans should be patriots, aud Cath
Ole Americans especially, because pa
triotism is Catholic virtue and because
it is civil duty.
"Again, Americans should know and
love their church. Americans know
and love their country. They will open
their arms and hearts to the church if
you persuade them in word and act that
she is the best and most devoted friend
of America and American institutions.
From Cir umstances, too, which we
admit and defend, many Catholics in
America have come to us from foreign
lands, and very naturally they adj

"The Catholic emigrant should retain
love and respect for the past and gathe,
in what lessons of wisdom it teaches, but

the sake of country and church must

The Insurance on His Life.
WEST CHESTER, Pa, Oct. 22.-There is
still no clue to the whereabouts of Law
yer R. Jones Monaghan, who left his
home here several weeks ago for New
York, where he mysteriously disap-
peared.
No claim has been made upon the in
surance companies by his family for the
insurance on his life, and probably none
will be, unless positive proof of Monag-
hams death is found. The family can
not receive the So, 900 insurance on his
life for seven years unless his death is
proven before that.
The law of Pennsylvania provides that
when a man whose life is insured i p
pears, no claim for the insurance !AuAey
can be made for seveA years AM THAT
during that time the premiums Oh the
policy must be kept up. If, however,
proof of the mans death is found, then
the premiums so paid are returned with
the principal.
No reason can be assigned for Monag-
hans disappearance, but that he at one
time contemplated leaving this State ia
shown by the fact that in May, 1888, he
Company, stating that his health was
failing; that he was offered position
with mining company at Tucson, Ari-
IONA, and with the consent of the COM
pany, he would accept it. Monaghan's
idea at the time was that his removal
would affect his life insurance.
