SERVING WITHOUT PAY.-Judge Crounse of
Nebraska, who succeeded Gen. Batcheller of
New York as assistant secretary of the treasury,
will receive no pay for his services unless the
Senate confirms his appointment. This is in
accordance with an opinion of the Attorney
General that a person appointed during the
recess of Congress to an Office which was vacant
while that body was in session is not entitled
to any compensation until after his confirma-
ton by the Senate. Justice Beatty Of Idaho is
another officer who is serving without pay,
pending confirmation, under the above opinion.

total membership of u scholars. and while it was
expected that some joined the school merely for

Chapel Services.

larger number of visitors than usual were
present AS announced last week, Miss Gustaf-
spoke to the Scandinavian inmates after the
regular exercises.
Chaplain Albert preached this morning. The
text was taken from the third chapter of Phlippi.
ans-"but this one thing do. forgetting those
things which are behind. and reaching forth unto
those things which before. press toward the
mark for the prize of the high calling of God in
Christ Jesus" ST. Paul's oneness of purpose and
what he accomplished by it were held up as an
example of how great ends to be attained.
Paul was spoken of as the man of one great idea
and it was finely shown by the speaker, how he
had wrought out his great purpose by making it
the center of his every endeavor. He brought all
his great talents together and concentrated them
Christ Jesus" EVERY man who has accomplished
a great work has been a man of one idea." said
the speaker. The man who has no central idea to
work to never scores a success. Paul did not let
the past stand between him and his great idea
The things OF the past must stand forever. God
himself could not wipe them out. Paul let the
past stand and reached out for the things before
him. We must do likewise if we hope to accom-
plish anything. We must not let past failures
or present universities turn us from our one great
purpose. Men do not fail as often in adversely as
and still not be much of a success. A man will be
as great or small as his idea. Paul was greater
man at Is years of age than at any earlier period
of his life .oWhy? Because he had come nearer his
own great idea-God.

EuSCA OO1
In large eastern city, one Christmas
Eve few years ago. was walking with a
night reporter for one of the large dailies.
We had dropped into most of the hotels and
other places where my friend was likely to
find news, and at about IL o'clock we
started for the round of the police stations.
AS we were talking to the officer in charge
of the Central he told us there was an old
time crook back in one of the cells. who
was about done for this in world, and that
my friend could perhaps get something in
teresting from him. So we went back to
where he was. We found him lying at the
back of the cell, and when the officer had
told him who we were. he dragged, the
coarse blanket down in front of the door.
After terrible coughing spell he sat down
and told us to ''Open the game" He was
small, spare man with what had once
been good looking face. but the marks of
dissipation showed plainly. and sickness
had left it with nearly the pallOr of death.

The st. Paul WOrkhOuse.

In it's Christmas number the st. Paul
Dispatch has an article on the workhOuse
from which the following is taken:
The wOrkhOuse is under the supervision
of j Ohm Fitzgerald. who makes an able and
efficient superintendent. His assistant is
Charles NJ KOehler. The other officers Of
the house are William Riley, hall master;
Mrs. Mary Otley, matrOn, and DR.. j. S.
Simon. physician.
Besides these there are various guards.
engineers, etc.. and altogether the number
employed in the management OF the work.
house is about twenty.
The building is large three story brick,
which accommodates the officers and pris-
oners. 1t is surrounded by wide and open
country and next to it is farm of forty
acres on which the entire supply of potatoes
and vegetables for the institution is raised.
1t is titled by the inmates.
The knitting factory is a very important
part of the workhOuse system, and here the
men sent out for ninety days are made to
while away their time. 1t takes them
nearly all of the first month to learn how to
do the work. and the remainder of their
time is well spent.
The men who are sentenced for shorter
time are employed on the streets and roads.
but for the past few weeks they have been
kept at work improving Como Park, and
that resort Is being transformed into very
beautiful place under their hands.
The women who are sent to the work.
house are nearly all employed at light work
in the knitting factory. They are made to
wear dresses of the cOarsest material. while
the men are given conventional jean suit
which is discarded when their sentences ex-
pire and replaced by their own clothes.
Religious services are held every week in
the wOrkhOuse chapel at which all the pris-
Oners so desiring are present. Protestant
services are held on one Sunday and Cath
Ollie the next. Father Joseph Burke. pri-
vate secretary to Archbishop Ireland, holds
the Catholic services and Mrs. Warner, Of
Hamline, oficiates for the Protestant in
mates.
At this writing there are 115 prisoners at
the wOrkhouse. OF these los are men and
the remainder women.

Charles Dudley Warmers Tale.

The following story was told by Charles
Dudley Warner on "Story Tellers' Night"
at the Aldine club in New York city:
There was once robber in Cairo who fell
from the second story of house he was
trying to enter and broke his leg, He went
to the Cadi and complained. The mans
window was badly made and he wanted
justice. The Cadi said that was reasOna
BILE, and he summoned the owner of the
house. The owner confessed that the house
was poorly built but claimed that the car
penter was to blame. and not he. This
struck the Cadi as sound logic and he sent
for the carpenter.
1.-The charge is. alas, too true" said the
carpenter. but the masonry was at fault
and l couldn't fit good window"
So the Cadi. impressed with the reason
ableneSS of the argument. sent for the
mason. The mason pleaded guilty. but ex
planned that pretty girl in a blue gown
had passed the building while he was at
work and that his attention had been d.
verified from what he was doing. The Cadi
thereupOn demanded that the girl be
brought before him.
1t is true" she said. THAT 1 am pretty.
but it's no fault of mine. If my gown at
tracted the mason. the dyer should be pull
shed. and not l."
'Quite true" said the Cadi, ''send for
the dyer"
The dyer was brought to the bar and
pleaded guilty. That settled it. The Cadi
told the robber to take the guilty wretch to
his house and hang him from the door sill.
and the pOpulace rejoiced that Justice had
been done. But pretty soon the crowd re-
turned to the Cadi's house. complaining
that the dyer was too long to be properly
hanged from his door sill.
''Oh WE'LL" said the Cadi. who by this
time was suffering with ennui. ''gO find a
short dyer and hang him. Justice shall
prevail"

Big Deals for 81 and '92.

There is no business which admits of so
many wonderful innovations as the theat-
rical. The present age might appropri-
ately be styled "The Realistic" Men
with vast capital have entered the field
and their rivalry and spirited competition
have called forth the most astounding re-
suits. The public crave amusements as
one of the most essential necessities of
life, and are so thoroughly educated as to
the merits of what is good or bad that it
pays best to cater to them by presenting
only what is certain to be stamped as go.

One OF the most colossal theatrical en-
terpriseS which opened in New York City
early in August is the great comedy
drama, " She Couldn't Marry Three" for
which extensive preparations had been
carried on during the summer. The
scenery eclipses anything presented in
New York during recent years, and, with
the magnificent company of selected
artists, is sure TO make an instantaneous
and unqualified success. 1t will be sent
across the continent to San Francisco
with the entire New York caste, and it is
unanimously conceded by newspaper and
theatrical critics that among the big deals
for 81 and '92 will be found" " She Couldn't
Marry Three "
The evening bulletin., 1891-12-26

THE Daily News, of Connersville, Ind,
states the case in very pointed terms. 1t
says: "a city is known by its business
men. Pick up newspaper from any
town you choose, and if its columns
bristle with advertisements, you at once
set it down in your mind that that is a
good town. On the contrary, let the paper
be devoid of attractive advertisements
and you conclude that that place is not
much Of a town"
