Death visited the home Of Mr.. John
Quincy, OF this city, on Saturday evening
at 1890, taking from them their dearly
beloved and only daughter, Miss Maggie,
who has been patient sufferer for eight
long months of disease almost un-
known to the physicians. Almost from
the first her death was watched for with
pain and sorrow by the family and
numerous friends, and when the hour
came we are sure she was ready to meet
her Creator without fear. Maggie was
fifteen years OF age, and had made many
true and intimate friends who will remem-
Der her as kind school girl and play

Last Sunday will bs day Of long re-
membrane by the Catholics of this
parish. For Oh that day Bishop Cotter
made his first public visit to this city
and administered the sacrament of Con
hrmation to a class of about $50. The
class received communion at o'clock
mass which was said by the bishop.
Long before mass began the church was
crowded, and very many could not get
seats. At the high mass which was said
by Father Sullivan at 10 80 o'clock, the
bishop delivered long and instructive
sermon. The church was crowded to
overhowing with both Catholics and
Protestants. -Four o'clock was the time
appointed for the confirmation, but be-
fore $50 the church was filled to it's ut
most and by four o'clock it was inpos-
Stale to gain admittance and very many
had 10 remain outside. The boys met at
the boys school room, and the girls at
the convent, and at o'clock both lines
marched to the church, the boys headed
by Sister Constantine and the girls by
Sister Helena. Before confirming them
the bishop preached an instructive ser
mon to the class. At about O'Clock he
administered the sacrament assisted by
Fathers Murray, Herman and Sullivan.

She Always Seems to Lose, Her Aplem1
in an Office Down Town.


in an Office Down Town.
The utter he]plessness Of most women
when brought into contact with the &C.
tive business world is often amusing
and always interesting, says the New
York Herald. When a woman comes
into one of the great Office buildings
down town in search of somebody or
something she is usually at once de-
prived Of what common sense she may
ordinarily keep in stock.
The probability is that she will in
quire of the first person she meets
whether Mr.. Somebody has an office
there This person may be an utter
stranger to the city. Ii he isn't he will
refer her to the bulletin or to the JAM
tor or the elevator man.
Now the bulletin may possibly con-
tain 100 or 200 names and may be spread
all over the walls of the corridor, Or
posted up alpha betically in the dark ell
evator. In any case it is confusing to a.
woman not familiar with the scheme.
She may see half a dozen uniformed
men and boys rushing about. but can't
tell an elevator man or assistant janitor
boy.
She will get off at the wrong floor,
get lost in the halls, get into ever so
many wrong offices, and finally arrive
at her destination in white heat OF
worry. What strikes her as the most
remarkable thing about it all is that
nobody seems to know anything about
anybody else.
Men may occupy an Office in one OF
these buildings for years and know
nothing whatever of their next door
neighbors. And what strikes the office
men and every body connected with an
office building as most remarkable is;
the fact that women, as a rule, are ut
terly oblivious to signs.
They will go directly past the plain
gold lettering that announces men and
business, and inquire in the very next
room.
woman can find anything in q bu-:
reau drawer or at the bottom of trunk
by instinct, which is more than a man
can do. But she scars above signs.

A Land of Surprises.

Chilli is in some respects land of
surprises to the visitor from North
America. He discovers, for instance,
that. the Government theater in San
tiago is finer playhouse than any in
the United States-a magnificent
structure with four tiers of balconies
sumptuously upholstered with crimson
brooade and decorated in white and
gold. When the great auditorium is
filed with a representative audience of
Gillian beauty and manliness, the. Pa
risian toilets of the women, their bare
arms, huttering fans and blazing jewels
bewilder the visiting spectator. 1t is
more gorgeous than anything in Paris.
The average price of seats on the floor
of the house is four dollars.

sLong" on Toast.

A good story is told of M. Tame.
Max Muller, it is said, went to the din
ing-room Of a hotel in Oxford and there
saw Taine sitting with a dish of roast
beef and vast quantities of buttered
toast The learned German was sur
prised at the combination and at the
large quantities of the toast. ''ls that
a French dish?' he asked. 'sNo,' said
Taine; ''but they keep Oh bringing it to
me, in spite of all can say to the con-
trary." ':What did you ask for?': OBJ
served his friend. "Why," replied Taine,

and each time they bring me a fresh
dish of toast" M. Taine's pronuncia-
ton of potatoes was SO much like
s"buttered toast" that the astonished
waiter could not be blamed.

FOR THE INVENTORS.

THE heating of tailors' fatirons, used
in pressing garments, is one of the new
applications of electricity.
A DOCUMENT envelope that works like
a telescope, adjusting itself to one paper
or to fifty, is a recent invention.
CONNECTICUT last year took out more
patents in proportion to population
than any other state in the union.
To SAVE the fnger-nails, an ingenious
fellow has invented = pocketknife, the
blades of which arc made to open by
touching a spring.
A RUSSIAN electrician is said to have
lately patented a process Of photograph
ing and engraving on metals by means
of electricity by which the etching
method is entirely dispensed with.
ACCORDING to the records Of the patent
office, few subjects receive more atten-
ton from inventors than that of the
registry Of street car fares The dial is
used more generally than any other de-
vice in the large cities.

An Open secret.

Laugh, my young daughters. and keep your
hearts gay
The secret Of happiness lies
In holding the sunshine and driving away
The shadows that sometimes arise.
Remember this truth in your childhood years
That laugh er is better than tears.
This to you, maidens-'tis sunshine that wins.
The light OF a true loving heart
Shining out through eyes that doubt never
dims-
Is the secret OF beauty's art.
IT'S also the secret Of love, my dears,
For smiles are more potent than tears.
Better than beauty that fades from the face,
This elixir Of wondrous art;
IL glorifes age with magical grace
And warns the deep fount OF the heart
No charm able to hold and to win
AS loye-light that shines from within

Everyone ought TO have an object in
life. It is not enough merely to reeog-
nize that we have duties We have a
duty 70 be pleasant and agreeable to
others; but being agreeable is not an
object Of life, it is one Of the incidents
Of right living. The man who lives for
society life may be universally polite
and kindly in manner, and yet have no
real object of existence. Being agree
able is only one of the methods of liv-
ing, not an object of Hfe-Ram's Horn.
