wonders whether the foundation is right.
II it Is not ruin must follow. Men and
women are of more consequence than
buildings Deeds are but the creature of
mems hands and must necessarily perish,
but men and women live forever. 1t is
necessary for q building to have a good
foundation and II is necessary that men
and women building characters should
build on good, sound, honest foundation.
What this society proposes to do, he con-
tinued, is to help those who need help to
lay foundation for usefulness through
life. This, he declared is most important
After further allusion to the club he
said the association of the young with
the refined. educated and good must have
good effect. This particular club he
asserted, is not a reformatory institution;
It draws into the fold those who have at
home no advantages of refinement or In
centive to improvement. He urged the
cultivation of refinement, saying that CON
tact with refinement must necessarily pro-
duce good effect. In this good work the
rich and generous are extending their
cooperation. These mere helps, he added
will not make one good and wise; they
only help IN our work. He dwelt at some
length on self-made men, and said q self
made man is not always the best example.
Those who vaunt they are sef-made men
are often vulgar and disagreeable persons.
The self-made men, in the broader and
general sense, he held up as worthy
example. Not always those possessed of
great. gifts, he remarked make the best Use
Of them. Had he had $4,000 when
he was q years old he did not believe he
would be worth much now. A very large
proportion of the men here and in England
who have attained prominence have been
what in the strictest sense of the term are
self-made men. Their surroundings were
than h., Itra
poverty. For examples he mentioned Lin
coin and Garfield. You boys and girls
who are not rich, he declared, have got
chances almost equal with the best of them
and the poorest boy in the club has the
possibility of becoming man Of power,
usefulness and influence in this State and
country. He directed attention to the ad-
vantages in this country-free schools, free
suffrage and light taxation-and with
these influences he asserted. come
those of this society. The boys
of the Forty Acres with these
influences have advantages infinitely better
than Lincoln had. All the world Is on the
march, he said, and he urged the boys to
take the advantages for their own comfort
II they Jagged they would be uncomfort-
able. All these helps were round about
them. After all they were but helps and
the boys must lay their hands to the pillow
Nobody could teach them industry or self
control unless they learned 1t. The
chances are 10000 to one that there will be
many men and women who will trace
their influence and happiness Of life to
what they learned here. In conclusion he
complimented those who had established
the reading room and urged the members
Of the club to appreciate what had been
done for them.
After dismission the large audience
proceeded to antc-rooms and partook of
refreshments.

Much interest is felt in A. o. u. W.
circles here in the action taken by Past
Master Workman Vansant of Camden,
N. j., in securing an injunction restrain
ing delegates of the various New Jersey
lodges from forming separate grand
jurisdiction, as they proposed doing at q
meeting held in Camden Tuesday week.
New Jersey is at present in the same
jurisdiction with Maryland and Della
ware,and at arecent session of the Grand
Lodge proposal Of separation was re-
lected. In Camden, on Tuesday week,
Fidelity Lodge, No. 3, A. o. u. W., had
a large attendance, the principal cause
for the unusual attendance being the
desire of the members to hear what p.
G. NJ. Vansant had to say relative to
his action causing an injunction against
institutlng the Grand Lodge of New
Jersey to-day. Mr.. Vansant made a
lengthy statement, referring to the law
of the Supreme Lodge, and detailing
his interview with Supreme Master
Workman Kinsley. At the conclusion
of his remarks the lodge endorsed his
action and vote of thanks was ex-
tended him, there being but three dis
senting votes. Fidelity Lodge has one
seventh of the entire membership of
New Jersey.

At municipal court, Friday, Thomas Nc
Laughlin, was charged with the larceny
of u pair of opera glasses from the
Academy Of Music. Mclaughlin was ar
rested at the theatre with the glasses in
his possession but claimed he had found
them in an open lot in Forty Acres. The
state failed 10 bring out any evidence that
Mclaughlin had stolen them, which was
necessary for a conviction as Mr.. Bayne
treasurer of the academy testified that there
had been over 30 glasses stolen so far this
season. The only fact clearly proven was,
through j. u. Doughty, manager of the
pennsylvania Opera Glass Company, that
the glasses in question were the property
of his company. Mr. Lyman, counsel for
the defence, after the evidence for the
State had been heard, moved for dis.
missal claiming that the State had failed
to show that Mclaughlin, had committed
the theft, Notwithstanding the glasses were
IN his possession when arrested. The court
conceded with Mr.. Lyman and the case
was dismissed.

Tho Tribulations of Philadelphinn
whose Better Half Deserted Him.

Whose Better Half Deserted Him.
Frank Miller, wine merchant at
No. 400 North Third street, Philadel-
pliia, came to this city yesterday week in
search of his wife, Lena Miller, who,
he alleges, deserted him in Camden, N. j.,
three Years ago, since which time he had
heard nothing of her whereabouts until
last week. He says that he then received
letter from his sister living in Germany,
stating that she had every reason to believe
that Mrs. Miller was living in this city at
No. 215 Monroe street.
Acting under advice OF his sister, he
snys that he came TO this city and dis
covered his wife at the address above mem
toned. He then accused Frederick
Piepenbring, the occupant of No. 2l5
Monroe street, with alternating his wife's
affections, the result being that Miller was
arrested by Constable Neutze and locked
up in the city hall, preparatory to trial
before Squire Sasse.
When Miller was arraigned before Squire
Sasse he was charged with disorderly con-
duct, but after learning the full particulars
of the case, the magistrate permitted
Miller to leave the office without further
examination.
Miller has secured Walter Hayes, as his
counsel, and IL is said he will now bring suit
against Piepenbring for alternating his
wifc's affections. Miller also claims 10

statement that Mrs. Miller has instituted
divorce proceedings against her husband
here, and that she has retained counsel to
aid her in securing decree of divorce
Miller returned to Philadelphia that even
ing, after first signifying his intention to
bring suit against the destroyer of his
happiness, II is said that he told Mrs.
Miller that if she returned home with him
last week all would be forgiven, but he
claims that Mrs Miller positively refused
TO comply with his request.
Mrs. Lima Miller was seen at her
present residence, No. 2l5 Monroe street,
by.a reporter of The GAZETTE Thursday
afternoon. To the reporter Mrs Miller
talked freely, saying that her husband
had begun, shortly after the honey
moon, to abuse and neglect her.
that he often came home drunk
and maltreated her; that he failed
to provide for her and she was often in
sore strait to eke out livelihood; that
he finally sold their furniture and
went oil with another woman: that,
in this hour of need, Mr.. Piepenbring
offered her situation us housekeeper,
which she gratefully accepted, and that
she has since remained with Mr.. Piepen-
bring in this capacity and in this capacity
only, at a specified salary; that Piepen-
bring exercises no constrant over her at
all. but has simply told her husband that
Mrs. Miller can find home with him as
long rs she chooses to stay, and finally
that she is hopeful of obtaining divorce
from the man at whose hands she suffered
until his neglect and ill,trcatment became
intolerable.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l0.-The Warren
Athletic Club of Wilmington. sent over
foot ball team to Washington to-day that
battled with the Columbia Athletic Club
team for 40 minutes and then retired dis
gnsted, defeated by score of 46 to
nothing.
From the first il was apparent that Will
mington couldn't play ball in the same
class with the Columbia team. Their rush
line in the aggregate weighed quarter
less than Colnmba's, and when they
formed the V and dashed mp against the
red and blue they scattered. tossed hither
and thither like the ocean waves dashing
against the impregnable breakers. Their
weakness became apparent to the Will
mington team early IN the game, and long
before the first half was over they were
playing purely defensive game. On
nearly every occasion the ball was passed
back to Armstrong, the full-back, who
ptnted ii over into Columbia's territory.
They made but little in this way, however.
for Harlan invariably punted back i'm
mediately, often fur down the gridiron to
ward Warren's goal.
The Warren people before the game was
advanced 30 minutes We're thoroughly dis
heartened. The first half was concluded
in semi-darkness, the score standing 46 to
nothing. The second half was begun, but
only PLAYED few minutes. The teams
lined up as follows:
