MIR. Sculley and the Worlds Fair.

Mr.. Michael ID. Sculley, of Morris, Pa,
is going to the Worlds fair. He is a pro-
f%essional catcher of snakes and he now has
a belt, a vest and a pair of slippers made of
rattlesnake skins. "And If | live,'' said he,
they will see me at the Worlds fair with u
hat, coat and trousers to complete tho suit,
and 100 live r~attlers, which | shall handle
like so many kittens. They will all have
their fangs in, too" Even if Chicago is
crowded at the time. If Mr.. Sculley selects
a boarding house and insists ON staying he
will undoubtedly get q room all to himself
and his snakes.

Railroad Presidents on Common Ground.
A good story is told of the president of a
certain railroad in Illinois and how he OBJ
tanned a pass over tine Great Northern rail
way from President Hill. The gentleman
in question walked brusquely into Mr..
Hills private office not long since and said
he would like to see President Hill. Mr.,
Hill informed the caller that be was talking
with the parsonage he WAS seeking, where
upon the stranger asked in blunt tones for
an annual pass.
Il have sent you a pass, and | think [
onght to have one" he said.
Mr.. Hill questioned the fellow railroad
president ABOUT his road and found that il
was only thirteen miles long. The man
who controls one Of the largest railroad
systems in the country hardly thought that
a pass was due to the president OF a thirteen
mile road.
Your road" he replied, "seem. to be-
rather short. And We have so many calls
for passes from officials of small roads that
l don't see how We can grant them"
We'll" exclaimed the visitor, INV road
may not be quite as long as yours, Mr.. Hill.
but. by gosh, it is just IA wide"
Tho argument WAS unanswerable. and the
man who is president of q rond al wide as
the Great Northern got the pass ho wanted.

THE sNoRKEy or MAauIRE.
All thn oupulc rf n rtnua

n sNoRKEY or MAou1RE.
In all the annals Of tho stage,
And the legends toe az we'll,
/ hunt with toll, but fail to find
Where tho Oldest authors tell
or a character that's yet been played
From Shakespeare down to date,
That portrays human interest
And tells the tale of fate,
Like n certain honest yeoman
Who had seen troubles dire
You'll know him when you soc him:
The Smokey of Mcguire.
There's the Hamlet of Edwin Booth,
A gloomy, gruesome prince;
Keene's Riohilieu and Richard,
Whose yelling makes you vince,
And Fred Warde as Yirginius,
Some critics say, is fine.
l am no critic, but will submit
To the verdict Of time;
! know the muses. softest touch
Upon the tuneful Tyre
Is meant to sweetly serenade
The Smokey of Mcguire.
This one-armed Snorkey who appears
Beneath the G%aslight's glow,
Appeals at once for sympathy
From the audience below.
He's n ne'er-do-well but honest man,
Whose heart is always right;
His part is saving heroines and
Making villains fight,
And these amid accomplishments
OF music and red fire;
The gallery yells, fair ladies faint
At the Smokey of Mcguire.
While other Snorkeys have been played
Maguire's suits best of all.
That's because he knows his business
Aud can give the rest the call.
1t takes genius of the finest sort,
And long practice as we'll,
To keep the pathos moving on
From curtain bell to bell.
And l will pungle any price
A reserved seat to hire,
To see the trials and. victories
Of the Smokey Of Mcguire.

Eureka.

At last the Harrison boy has succeeded in
finding in a Montana paper a paragraph
treating of presidential possibilities which
it may reprint witt satisfaction. 1t is from
the Madisonian. a democratic paper pub
llsoed in Virginia City, of which the popu-
lntlon is $50 or less. The paragraph is, in
part, AZ follows: There is scarcely a dem
ocratic newspaper in the United States that
does not indorse Blaine for the republican
nomination for president in 1892. Wonder
what scoop they think they have on the
old man, in case he should get the nomi-
nation?" The Harrisons hate Blaine and
mean business. The boy Harrison would
never reprint such II paragraph IA this
about a man whom Father Harrison re-
garded az Il friend.--New York Times,

The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-03-01

The Womau's National Triennial Council for
1891 has opened and closed most interesting
series of sessions during the past week-sessions
representing the organized work of woman in
every direction. Looking back over 1t as a
whole one is enabled to summarize it. The
council brought together a most notable gath
ering of leading women, and expressed its best
thought through the various speeches and
papers read. 1t was impossible not to be i'm
pressed by this united strength, dignity, and
worthiness of honorable mention. The gain to
womanhooa during the past thirty years is i'm
mense in the way OF outward and inward de-
velopment. The fraternal delegates were
moved by this grandeur of combined power,
and they sought membership by the score. The
council opened with religious services on Sun
day, and began a record of its work on Mon
day, the subject being ''Charities and Philan-
thropies, which subject was so ably treated as
to draw forth half column of editorial COM
mendaton from leading daily paper. Tues
day morning was devoted to Temperance"
Tuesday evening to "Education," Wednesday
night to ''The Political Status of Woman,"
Wednesday afternoon, miscellaneous" We'd
nesday evening was devoted to the general sub
iect. "The Organized Work and Life of
Women"
Temperance and suffrage have been before
the country for years, and are generally under
stood The papers on educational movements
were of the best sort, throwing much light upon
the opportunities for higher and consequently
wider education for women. Such views are
educative, and the treatment of the subject one
of the most interesting days of the week. Rev.
Anna Shaw's lecture on Goods Women," for
biting sarcasm, good-natured railery, and sound
logic, was never excelled. 1t was simply a
masterpiece Of eloouence and power, good
demonstration of woman's ability to handle
even doctor of divinity as he should be, if he
is so unfortunate as to be bundle of preju
dices. The council put its strongest young
women to the fore in the election of its officers.
1t cemented its integral parts into
u solid union through the power Of
a national legal organization, and it is
now ready to go on gathering together
under one head the civlizing and educational
forces of a united womanhood. 1t is a repre-
sentative and not legislative body; but above
all things it is an educative body. 1t received
from the hands of the press of the city candid
and fair representation as part of the daily
news Its fame was heralded through the land
on Associated and United Press dispatches.
1t was represented in the kilograms of the great
papers Of the metropolitan and other large
cities by some of the brightest newspaper
women that ever reported, they sending from
fifteen hundred to two thousand words day as
correspondents. Financially the council was
success 1t paid all its obligations clean
through. 1t also paid its debts of honor where
there was no expressed obligation. 1t is no
longer "a transitional period" with woman. She
has transished.
