Talking Over the Arrangements-Pr
gramme Details.
That portion Of the Reception Com
mittee designated as the Especial escort"
TO the President held a meeting last even
ing at Pioneer Hall for the purpose of
arranging the final details for its work.
Mayor Comstock presided and there
were nearly thirty present, including j.
Q. Coleman and 4. c. Atkinson of the
Executive Committee. These two gentle
men took quite an active part III the pro-
coedings
After the meeting had been called TO
order, Senator Dray said he was afraid
there was going to be some clashing of
authority on account of the unfortunate
dissensiOn which had occurred in the
ranks of the Reception Committee The
number Of the Reception Committee to be
present, or rather those who had
BEEN SUPPLIED WITH BADGES,
Would number nearly two hundred vet
& select few those present at the meeting
principally would escort the President TO
the stand The question with him then
was. what was TO become of the rest Of the
committee? What were they TO do? He
had been given TO understand by the EX-
ecutiVe Committee that none but those
who arrive IN the carriages and the
special escort" of the Reception Com
hillJce would be admitted inside the gate,
after the arrival of the President.
Judge Armstrong suggested that the
surplus committee could help keep the
school children in line.
rms seemed To meet with general APP
proNal Tor the time being, and the sub
Ject was dropped temporarily.
\ general discussion was then entered
into regarding the programme to be car
Fied out at the Capitol. Senator Dray was
considerably worried as To how he should
act, and where he should be stationed.
He wanted advice as to whether he. as
Marshal, should walk in front of the
President, showing him the way, as it
were, or behind.
1t was suggested that the Marshal and
Especial escort of the Reception Com
mittee should march ahead OF the Presi-
dent and party, and quite debate fol-
lowed. 1t was finally agreed, however.
TO adhere to the original idea OF the Mar
shall going ahead and the special es
cort" behind.
u. C. Atkinson, of the Subcommittee
on Badges, presented the Marshal with
the colors and batons for the Marshal and
Assistant Marshal. lie also presented the
Mayor with a handsome badge as SOU
venir of the occasion. The Mayor pinned
it on his lapel Immediately and thanked
the committee. He said he would have
plenty TO remind him of the reception
without the badge, but still he would
keep it as Il memento.

Our Kitchen Girls.

Is tie knowledge of homework a
disgrace? 1t would seem so, if we
would notice the ways and customs Of
the present time.
The kitchen girls in our large cities
are not shown onC-half the considcra-
ton that the dog receives; for often
the dog gets the attention that should
belong to baby (the dog being less
trouble), and the lady of the house has
been reared too indOlently TO be both
cred with anything like baby. These
notions arc being aped by our smaller
towns until il is nothing unusual for
women, whose husbands have small
incomes, TO boast of how little they
know of homework that they were
not brought up to do such things al
ways went to school and learned TO
play the organ, although ninc-tenths
of them, I'll venture, at the age of 40
have forgotten all the knowledge of
music they ever acquired before mar
riage.
And what Ofthe girl in the Kitchen !?
Is she hunchbacked or deformed ?Oh |!
No; quite often prettier than the lady
of the house. Is she ignorant? Is il
necessary, | would ask, for an Ameri-
can girl to be ignorant because she j.
poor!
But let her accomplishments be
what they may, she is never asked in
to the parlor. Never allowed TO Eat
with the family and, oftentimcs, not
allowed to eat in the dining room after
the family are through with their
meals. But it is plenty good enough
for Kate to eat her meals in the kitch-
en- and alone. What is her offense ?
Nothing but the knowledge of house
work. All this foolishness has driven
girls of spirit from the work that
should be their browning glory, to fac
tories, stores, book peddling, anything
but housework.-[M Mrs. Il. l.. McPher-
son, in Detroit Free Press.

without knowing the port the ship

idea as to the harbor to which it is gee

Jay GOuid'S Prayer.

A newspaper published in the far west says they have it from the very best of authority that the Wizard of Wall street prays, when he prays at all as follows:
 Our father who art in England, Rothschild be thy name; thy fnan- cial kingdom come to America; thy will be done in the United States as it is in England Give us this day our bonds in gold, but no sil- yer; give us plenty of mems votes to keep monopoly in power and their friends in office. We know, our father, that we have done wrong; we have robbed the honest poor and brought distress to many a door. We know 1t was wrong to refund the bonds and make them payable in gold; we know it was wrong to water our railroad stock, but thou knowest we made money by that. Thou knowest, our father, that we are above politics. It is the same to us whether Democrats or Republicans rule, for thou knowest we are able to sway all the political jobs in our favor. Lead us not in the way strikers, but deliver us from the hands ofthe insane Knights of Labor and the Farmers Alliance. Thus we shall have the kingdom, bonds, interest, power and gold un- til the Republic shall end. Amen.

Tallashassee (Fla,), April 11.-A sensational shooting took placcithis afternoon at the Leon Hotel. $. $. Harvey of Pensacola, one of the workers for Dunn in the Senatorial contest, accused J. E. Alexander of Delande of circulating false stories about poodle. Alexander inquired if Harvey meant to call him a liar, and, upon receiving an affirmative reply, punched Mir. Harvey in the face. Then both drew revolvers.
 H. ". Clark struck up Harvey's revolver as he fired, and Alexander then ran, followed by Harvey, who fired two more shots. Although the corridors were crowded with people none of the shots tookS ef- feet. Alexander says his pistol would not work. Both men will have to appear in court Monday.
