A FoRGER IN CHURCH.
Action of Plymouth Church of Brooklyn
Exciting Discussion.
IN Y Press1

al have been studying for some time"
said a prominent clergyman TO me yester-
day, over the moral effect of the recent
action Of Plymouth church in Brooklyn in
passing resolution retaining in member
ship a forger who is now in the peniten-
tiary. La spite of the Injunction 10 Judge
not lest We be judged, it does not seem
that this method of dealing with the Grim
inal is good for the public or for the
church. The man had been a heartless
forger. His misdeeds ran through q long
series of years. He was discovered, ap-
pretended, punished Then he became
contrite. He was repentant only when
found out, and he asserted his repentance
as being acceptable to his Creator.
$50 the church decided not TO drop him
from the rolls, but to extend its helping
hand to him in prison. This is in accord
ance with the spirit, neither do L con-
denim thee But not in accordance with
the direction that man shall do work meet
for repentance. The effect of Christian
fellowship might have been equally well
preserved If the fOrger had been put on
probation, suspended, or otherwise dealt
with so that his future standing in the
church should depend on his future con-
duct. His sudden contriteness and the
action OF the church look too much like
laying the plan to secure his pardon from
prison at an early day, and If that should
be done it will give the public an idea
that men who steal the livery of heaven
to serve the devil may have practical i'm
munity from punishment

PREPARING FOR THE END.
Fijians Make Their Own Cofins and Some
Go In Alive.
IN Y Times1


The Fijians spend no inconsiderable
part of their lives making mats in which
to be buried, and every house has a
greater or smaller pile of them rolled up
among the rafters. with which their own
era will not part for love or money.
Wherever graves are male they are bot
toned with clean dry sand brought from
the seashore, and sometimes sarcophagi
are made OF slabs OF soft sandstone, over
which, when the bodies are placed within,
a slab OF the same material is lowered.
and the grave filled in with earth.
Formerly cave sepulchers were formed
by digging straight down for fifteen or
twenty feet and then running shaft hor-
izontally for an equal distance. In h0l-
lowed-out chamber at the end of the
shaft the body was laid, generally in a re-
Ginning position. In the case of very Old
persons, 10 whom it seemed desirable TO
hint that, az they had outiived the useful
ness, it would be decent for them to ac-
CELEBRATE the shutting off of this mortal
coil, it was common not to wait for their
decease, but to put them in the hole
while still alive, leavingthe aperture open,
and dropping food down the perpendicu-
lar shaft mt stated intervals. When the
food was observed to be no longer utilized
the natural conclusion was that the in
mate had said farewell to mundane affairs,
and the hole was stopped by rolling
stone over it and covering it with earth.
BY this considerable action the veteran
who Jagged superiluous on the stage was
gently assisted 10 that better land for
which the sagacity of his relations per-
ceived that he wRs so well fitted.

Let II draw only five minutes. Then pour

And now for the tea service itself. The
newest afternoon tea service halls from
England, the land OF afternoon teas. Who
does not remember wading through En-
g,ish novels where on every other page
the heroine drank a cup OF tear How
ever, this dainty tea service is heart
shaped. The teapot, cups, saucers and
even the china tray are in the form Of n
heart. Sea-shell pink tints the interior of
the cups and borders the saucers and
plates In the center of each on q white
ground the owners monogram or crest
should appear. 1t is the fashion now for
a lady to stick her christian name on
everything, and Maude, Marguerite or
Susan appears in hourishing gold letters
on everything.
All sorts of social ingenuity is exhausted
on species OF afternoon tea. Every flower
in the garden and now the herbs OF the
field are standing sponsor tor these affairs.
There are lavender teas, the proceeds of
which go for the benefit of a home for old
ladies', and a catnip tea, the proceeds Of
which are to be invested in home for III
digent feiines, is in prospect. Washing
ton gives a matecito tea, which is simply
a little tea party and nothing more, and
New Workers have salmon teas where the
hostess dons u salmon-colored gown, the
service is salmOn-COlOred, snd q massive
cold salmon graces the sideboard
BY the way, the tea-gown, which has
reigned supreme for so long time, is now
turned over to the cook. and the less po-
etc hOuse-dress is taking its place. A
writer, speaking OF the house-dress. says;
"A c.ose-ftting robe, long, cut la prin-
cesse, and draped perhaps little IN front.
1t can be made with high or half low
neck, with sleeves or with mere wings Of
crepe. 1t can be put on for afternoon tea
and worn all evening unless there is din
ner party, which necessitates full toilet.
1t will bear the richest trimming of lace
or passementerie or fur, but il does not
admit OF the loose folds and frou-frOu pecul-
lar TO the tea-gown. In these dresses and
in evening dresses the tendency Is still TO
use the finest materials possible, and the
very handsomest trimmings" l.. a. S.

A TRAGIC JOKE IN PARIS.
HOW TWO YOUNG ARTISTS DIED.
Two Deaths Foilow-The Joke Drove One
Artist to Suicide, and When the Joker
Found the BODY lie Killed
Himself

Ever since Paul Cornoyer had drawn
landscapes and browsing cattle on his slate
at school, his mother had believed in his
genius, says the New York Erening Sun.
She did not hope that he would become
an artist some day-she knew it. She had
treasured his pencil sketches. each one
better than the last, and felt he would
make name for himself when he grew
up.
Paul's father was n wholesale liquor
dealer, hard-headed man, unsentimental,
who measured conscience by dollars, and
gagged the world by Greenbacks- He did
not believe in the soul or art. He did not
know such thing existed so when Paul
lett school and talked OF Paris and studios
and Art with a capital A, his father looked
at him as if he thought he were crazy.
"Send you to Paris for two years? Not
much, my boy. I've heard thing or two
about Paris, and as for art-well, that's as
good an excuse as any for going TO Paris.
There was where the mother came in.
She came to the defense. She exhibited,
first. the bOyish sketches, then the better
drawings made by the pencil of the grow
ing youth. and finally washy sketch of a
dark corner OF the warehouse done in
water color.
The last bit Of realism caught the old
mans fancy. The clever conception OF
sunlight streaming through the dust-laden
atmosphere, and touching the grimy bar
rels with golden light, perhaps reminded
him OF their value IN the same colored
metal. How natural the rust on the
hoops and that cobweb over the right
hand window-pane looked to him. But
what pleased him most was not the
beauty OF the coloring or the composition,
but the fact that the boy had not omitted
to suggest, family, the letters on one bar.

A CUP OF TEA.
Delightful Customs and PADS In variou.
Parts of the World.

various
Parts Of the World.
Wherever two or three women are gath
cred there also will be found the cup that
cheers. Whether a woman is the hostess
at large reception, or a lonely old maid
in a bare, sthird-floor room, she has her
cup Of tea to offer her visitor Put two
women at a small, round table, fill the
delicate egg-shell cups with amber colored
tea and then listen. The delicate steam
ing AROMA which rises will bring a pink
glow to the faces, drive the weary look
from the eyes and unlock the lips. Secrets
that have been religously kept for
month no woman can keepa secret longer
than a month"; are told in ''strictest conf
dence.' 20 potent is the charm OF tea that
the dripker not only tells all her own
affairs Out she becomes a trifie forgetful
and tells the secrets cOnfided to her by her
neighbOr.
In no one function Of her establishment
does woman have so wide a range, APP
parenty, rs IN the giving of a cup of tea.
The greatest variety and individuality is
observed IN the tea tray or canister. The
Russian samovar and the English kettle
are alike popular; at one house tea

another tea tray will be a wide Jar with
close cover, from which the tea leaves are
taken with spoon which has been in the
family for generations.
Tea cOzies too, admit OF great variety.
The English coy, a large cone of quilted
silk, sometimes handsomely embroidered
and sometimes very plain; and the jap
Rnese coy, padded case in wicker
cover which fits snugly down over the tea
pot, are rivals for popu ar favor.
When II comes 10 tea itself individual
taste is again displayed. Among the dis
tncuvely fashionable teas. is the cara
van" tea, which is the Chinese leaf brought
across Siberia by caravan. Indian tea is
another favOrite- It Is said to be abso-
lutely unauthorized, and it has delicate
flavor, quite unlike FormosO or Oolong.
There has been recently introduced
into this country some genuine Chinese
tea which is said TO be delightful It is
called the Flung loud imported Chinese
celestial tea, and il very scarce and high
priced. Instead OF leaves this tea comes
IN dark little rolls resembling tiny bundles
OF fagots, the leaves being rolled into this

with bright ribbons. The directions given
by the Chinese for the making are these:

THE TULIP CRAZE.
Another Fad Tint Is Attracting New York
Society Women.


There is a veritable tulip craze raging in
New York just now, says New York ex-
change. Society people seem TO have
wakened up suddenly to the keenest APP
probation of the graceful form and vivid
coloring of the tulip, and are now using
them lavishly for the decoration of dinner
tables and of drawing Six or seven
thousand tulips We're used by florist Tor
the establishment OF two houses on
the occasion OF last months receptions
They were chiefly red and yellow, and
their arrangement through the halls and
the drawingroOms was so effective that
the men and women a i've TO possibilities
on decoration caught on to the tulip idea
at once. and since that time the demand
for tulips has reached very much larger
dimensions. 1t will be interesting 10
great many people to know that tulips
and tulip bulbs are by no means so
scarce in New York as they were in Am
sterdam at the time OF the historical craze
there, and therefore not so expensive. In
deed, great deal OF decoration, and com
paratively permanent decoration ut that,
can be accomplished on a reasonably small
expenditure Sixty or seventy OF them
are planted in a wide, fat wooden box, the
sides are covered with silvered paper the
box is tied around with white ribbon,
meeting in bow at one of the corners,
and decidedly unique result is achieved.
The window of the Broadway florist is
ablaze with these flowers. They are to be
met with in half the drawing-rooms OF the
town, and the craze giveseve promise of
growing. As to their cost the host did
not probably paw more than $50 for the
5000 plants distributed through the draw
ing-rooms, while a similar number of roses
would have cost thousands.

JUDGE ELLIOTT INTERVIEWED.
How tho Deceased Was Regarded by HIS
Eminent Associate.

How tho Deceased Was Regarded by His
Eminent Associate.
"The news of Judge Berkshire's death
is startling surprise to me" remarked
Judge b. X. Elliott TO 4 SENTINEL reporter
last night, coming as it does so near the
recent death of Judge Mitchell. 1t is per-
haps singular coincidence that these
two deaths are the first OF any of the
Judges or ex-judges who have been my
associates on the supreme bench during
the ten years of my judicial career.
Judge Berkshire possessed IN no or
binary degree the excellent quality Of
good common sense. lie was thoroughly
a self-nade man and was fond of telling
"reminiscences Of the time when in his
early manhood he toiled at the forge. lie
afterward attended the law course at As
bury university, and then served for nine
teen years as circuit Judge of Ripley county.
Two years since he entered upon the
duties OF the supreme bench. He labored
hard in that difficult pOsiton-tOo hard,
in fact, for he followed the laborious task
of preparing opinions most conscientious
". AS a Judge, he was honest in his con-
victions and earnest in his desire to carry
them out His rectitude is acknowledged
by all. He was good lawyer and q good
Judge. To his great credit as a man,
despite a certain positiveness OF character,
he was tender-hearted, generous to a fault
and charitable When the news of Judge
MitchelPs demise was announced 10 the
supreme court, Judge Berkshire broke
down completely and, strong man as he
was, wept like child. Most cheering
intelligence OF a change for the better in
his condition had reached the court, and
l can hardly yet realize that be who so
lately was with US in apparently the full
strength of manhood has heard the call
and answered tho dread summons Of
