"eob and the Bow" Rreakfasted.

Two people sitting at a table in Delmonico's
last Sunday attracted good deal of attention.
says the New York Sun. They were tall,
black-haired man and a graceful, slender light
haired-boy. When they first entered the room
t the man stood in the doorway for moment,
tables. The boy stood behind him, partially
concealed from view.
After satisfying himself apparently as to who
was and who was not present, the man led the
way over to table and the two sat down. II
was about $780, and the restaurant was well
filled Nobody paid any attention to the couple
Tor a time. and they ordered their breakfast
and fell to reading newspapers without ex-
changing a word Suddenly the boy gave a
little start and said in voice loud enough to be
heard by those near by:
Look, Bob!' at the same time handing Bob
the newspaper he held in his hand
Not only Bob looked. but the people sitting
close by looked, for there was that in the boys
voice which startled them. 1t was not boys
voice; It was a womans voice-distinctly and
clearly e soft, well modulated feminine voice
The near neighbors looked and they looked at
one another, and Bob looked and he looked
cross at the boy.
Then the neighbors began to look more and
more, and at every little feminine gesture and
motion in the handling of knife and fork, and
winegass they looked more and more. The
handsome blonde boy began to blush, until
finally his face became fine shade of crimson.
and Bob grew obviously nervous. The break
fast was hastily ended Bob and the boy went
quickly TO the door. and from the door they rat
tied away in a cab. Then people exchanged
smiles. Bob and the boy had tried little game
and been caught at it-that was all.
But there was a little game to which the Incl
dent of Bob and the boy was a sequel, in which
the players, although spotted by few quiet
oh servers, were not fully and fairly caught.
This game occurred only few days before Bob
and the boy came upon the scene. In this in
stance the thing was reversed IL was stylish,
handsomely dressed woman, who attracted the
attention of the quietly observant on thus occa-
SION
The woman came accompanied by gentle
man. and the two had been sitting at their din
ner table some little time before certain mas
culinity Of action on the part of the woman be-
gan TO be observed out of the corners of dis
Greet eyes, and before the interesting couple
left the room it was plain to the owners of the
discreet eyes that they were seeing very bold
piece of Incorporating, that the delicate and
elegant toilet of the woman concealed the form
of medium-sized but muscular and well-znit
young man.
They were only the result of q couple of bets.
Tie muscular and well-built young man bad
bet a good round sum that he would go dressed
as woman and dine at Delnonico's. He won
his bet and boosted of it to a woman, who said
it was nothing at all, and laid a wager then
and there that she would breakfast at belmont
co.'s dressed in masculine garments. The wager
was accepted, and Bob and the boy breakfasted,
and the boy won her bet.

The Honor Declined.

The refusal of Dr. Gailor to accept the
office of bishop of Georgia will be received
with feelings of regret. He is young and
energetic and possesses ability far above the
average 1t was expected that he would
do great deal toward building up the
Episcopal church In this state. In the mis-
sionary field, particularly, it was thought
that he would be power.
He feels, however, that his duty requires
him to remain with the University of the
| South. Before being elected bishop of this
state he had received splendid inducements
to leave the university, and had refused
them. It was far from certain, therefore,
when he was elected that he would accept.
He could not very well have refused the
honor before it was offered, but, in view of
The fact that he knew that his name would
be presented to the convention that met
here in May. it seems that he might have
intimated to some one of his friends that 1t
would not be advisable to elect him. By
pursuing that course he would, in all probe-
bility, have saved the diocese the trsuble
and expense of holding another convention,
and difficulties that are frequently ensount>
cred in getting a desirable man. who knows
that he is second choice, TO accept, might
have been avoided.
1t was DR.. Gailor's privilege, however, to
wait until he was elected before giving any
hint as to whether he would accept or not,
and he availed himself of it. And there is
no valid ground for complaint against him.
No doubt he is needed where he is, and, per-
haps, he will be able to do more for the
church of which he is so prominent mems
Der as an instructor of youth at the uni
versity than he would have done as bishop
Of Georgia.
But the Office of bishop OF this state is
very high and honorable one, and there
ought to be no great difficulty in getting an
acceptable man to fill it. The choice should
be confined to the state. There is no good
reason why Georgia should go to another
state for bishop.

Look Bigher.
ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.


Inscribed to Qtdrrelin0 ClergyDten.
And is there no way that is better
To help the sad world in its needs,
Than this to fight over the letter,
Forgetting the spirit of creeds
Whatever the cause or the reason
You hold for this strife, in the end
Your quarrels can only be treason
To Christ, whom you claim to defend.
The man of the crude Middle Ages
Has grown into something too high,
To feed his starved soul on dull pages
OF dogmas, as useless as dry.
The thought of the world is approaching,
Go, lay your cold creeds on the shelves,
Away with your technical teaching,
And show us the Christ in ourselves.
Rise out of old ruts with their hollow
And fear laden faiths. Mount above
Where the world is all ready to follow,
And seek the religion Of love.
AS sure as the stars on their courses
We circle toward Truth aud the Right,
We are part of the Infnits Forces
Our faces are turned to the light.
We cannot plod on in dark byways
That limit the sight of the soul,
Our spirits soar up to the highways;
We see we are part of the whole.
We know that mans creed does not matter,
So long as his deeds speak of God.
So long as his aim is to scatter
The seeds of right living abroad.
How can we look up to our teachers,
Unless they are higher than we?
Come up. then, ye priests and ye preachers,
Come up on Truths hilltop, and see
How haRgard the creedS you are Wanting,
When viewed from the mountains above,
And how all that the sad earth is wanting
Is the sweet selhesS lessons of love.

Positive announcements of the engage
ment of Miss Hattie Blaine to MIR. Truxton
Beale has brought forth chorus of I-told-'
you-sos from those who believed the report
when it previously leaked out. I'm
doubtedly this accounts for the young mans
snug appointment as IN mister to Persia,
for which he can show no other tangible
qualification than that he ia the son of Gen.
Beale. But the shah does not keep his
foreign visitors very busy dealing with him
as he is somewhat inclined to lassitude and
sportiveness himself. So the young man
may do as we'll as il he knew something.

The Connecticut MIDDLE.

The contest over the gubernatorial cleo
ton in Connecticut has been going on so
long that the public has almost forgotten it,
or. at least, has lost interest in it. The
election was held last November, and an
other gubernatorial election occurs next
November. In five months, therefore, the
contest will be ended, if it is not finally
settled before that time.
On Wednesday the supreme court of the
state decided that the votes which we're re-
jected by the moderators-the rejection of
which gave the democratic candidate for
governor a majority of all the votes cast
were improperly rejected. This ruling, if
1t stands, defeats Judge Morris, the demo-
cratic candidate There were three candi-
dates, and be had not only large plurality,
but. on the face of the returns, a majority
of twenty-six of all the votes cast.
1t is commended that the returns of the
moderators are final, and they certainly
ought to be. IL it is allowable to 60 behind
the returns there will always be squabbles
in close elections. In the election last No
vember the republican candidate for gov
ernor received several thousand votes less
than the democratic candidate, and yet it is
l
proposed that he shall be the governor.
| Since the decision of the supreme court
the republicans have been insisting
that the holding over governor shall at
once call the legislature together, in order
that that body may elect Gen. Merwin,
| who was the republican gubnatorial can
didate, governor. And it is probable that
the legislature will be called together and
the spectacle will be presented of minority
candidate being inaugurated governor.
| Connections should change her election
laws at once. Under the present law it is
an easy matter to defeat the will of the ma
| jority. The candidate that receives the
most votes ought to have the Office. The
Connecticut republicans, however, seem to
be as happy over getting the Offices as If
they got them by fair means.

1t is said that Miss Garner of New York,
who is the accredited fiancee of Sir w.
Gordon Cumming, stands loyalty by his
story and will not credit any adverse testi~
mony. II Sir William is the rich man he
is described to be there is certainly no ap-
parent reason for the dishonorable act with
which be is charged. If he is not rich and
the charges prove true it is to be hoped
that he may reform his personal practices
when he gets bis rich wife. AT least he can
then afford to be honest.

Since those six men were recently buried
twenty-seven feet deep by the accidental
caving of sewer in Minneapolis some mean
st. Paul man will probably be heard to say
that they were not buried much deeper
than the rest Of the inhabitants of Mime
apolis. But, of course, that is mere jeal-
ousy. Probably the men themselves think
it is only dastardly st. Paul scheme to
wreck the town and bury some of its
worthiest inhabitants. Primarily they
probably think they'd like to get out.

Agitator Demorest, who is one of the
hardest and narrowest prohibltionists in
New York, has returned from Mexico with
q brand new mustang" scheme to shut off
the whisky supply of Gotham. 1t is to be
called the "Anti-Nuisance League" and it
is to do everything in its frail power to
make itself nuisance to the finest cafes
and to get the newspapers to talk about it.
Those high-priced cafes are said to come
down handsomely" sometimes to be left un>
molested. Whether that is the game or not
has not thus far become clear. But if half
the hard things said of Demorest's close and
thrifty grinding nature are true, he lie
maintaining a nuisance by sustaining his
own existence.

This Shows How Anybody May Talk.

From the Nei0 York Sun %.
The Hon. John H. Reagan, late a senator in
congress from Texas, and now a member of
the railroad commission of that state, expressed
this opinion the other day:
IF Cleveland is nominated suppose he will
get the electoral vote of Texas and of Arizona,
but these are the only two states west of the
Mississippi that he can carry. If the eastern
politicians do not know this now they will fnd
it out when they try the experiment.
Mr.. Reagan's opinion as to the weakness of
Mr.. Cleveland is shared by the southern politi-
clans generally We doubt if there is a single
southern senator who now supports him. and a
census Of the views of the southern members of
the next House would show that he is substan-
tally friendless.

A PETRIFIED HORSE.
The Unique Curiosity Recently Found In
Indian Territory.


Indian Territory.
There was recently taken from a
small creek near Stringtown, |. T., I.
genuine curiosity in the shape of a
petrifled horse, which had, beyond
doubt, been lying in the bed of the
stream for many years. The creek,
which is known as Mason's ford. has
been dwindling away for sometime,
owing to the failure of the spring by
which it is fed and is now but shallow
rivulet, and number of Indian relics,
human bones, etc, have been taken
from its bed.
The horse was nearly covered by a
deposit of sand and loose limestone and
was discovered only by chance, some
boys wading in the creek catching sight
of portion of one leg. Examining
this, twas found to have turned entire
ly into stone, which led to the whole
being dug out and carried to shore.
The horse, a large, white one, seems to
be the work of cunning sculptor, so
completely has the petrifcation been,
even the hairs of the main and tail being
converted into stone.
In the neck and piercing one of the
largest veins is an arrow, in all proba-
bility the cause of its death, and which
probably struck it as it stood on the
banks of the creek, into which it rolled
in its death agony. Its sides still show
the marks of saddle, and it's flank S
are cut as by spurs used with despera-
ton, but no brand or other mark gives
a clew to its rider.
In removing it from the stream one
hoof was unfortunately broken off, but
with this exception it is perfect. 1t is
now on exhibition in Stringtown, but is
shortly to be presented to the Smith
sonian institution, though several
agents for dime museums have en-
deavored to secure it for their enter
prises --Philadclphia Times.

Demand for Heavy Engines.

At no time in history of railroads have
the efforts to improve the work of en-
giues received more attention than at
the present. Mechanics are attempting
to determine the most perfect combina-
tons of speed and strength, and at the
same time economic in the use of fuel.
Each year the standard of locomotives
iu this country is raised higher, and the
engines of the present time are a great
improvement on those of even ten years
ago. Some master mechanics are of the
opinion that the heaviest locomotive
now built is as heavy as it is practical
BILE to build one, while others predict
that still heavier passenger and freight
engines will be built and the roadbeds
of the country SO improved as to admit
of high speed with safety, even if an
engine weighs one-third more than the
ten-wheel passenger engines now in
use. What the future of mechanism
will bring forth to increase the speed
and power of engines is a problem of
interest to others than mechanics.-In-
dianapolis journal.
