IN OHIO.
The success and prosperity Of the
Ohio Society, OF New York, is ample
proof OF the great wealth and intelli-
gence Of the Buckeye State, but after
all it is better to travel through the
great State and observe her countless
avenues Of wealth, from her beautiful
and well kept farms to her statesmen,
from her cabbages TO her natural gas.
You understand it better.
The Middle States have one peculiar
ity that they are beginning almost to
wish they did not have, although it was
started out to be a charm. Charms,
however, when neglected, become at
times nuisances.
We were visiting Lima not long since,
a thrifty town, with all the snap and
vigor of new gold camp in the West,
vet with the shrewd and cool headed
business tact of Cape Cod town. She
has this characteristic, however, to
which have darkly alluded. 1t is a
public square. The public square was
of course intended to be on the start a
thing of beauty, but it has in too many
OF the middle States towns become an
open air livery stable, covered with the
choice decorations of a badly farmed
farm.

the unclaimed dead OF the city are
buried, il they are buried at all. No
body knows how many persons are
buried in this field. The graves are
scattered everywhere. But the bodies!
They are scattered, too, no doubt.
Years ago nothing was heard at Dun
ming but the rasping noise OF the spade
as the grave digger prepared a hole for
the dead. and then at night the spade
rasped again, for ii was then that the
ghouls tore open the tombs and filled
wagons and sleighs with cadavers. Thus
the spade OF gravedigger and resurrec-
Zionist kept ringing out grewsome
chime from day to day. The field was
well spaded. But nobody cared for that.
The grim medical colleges downtown
had 10 have bodies TO work upon. There
was only one way to get them, and that
was to steal them on dark night and
hurry away. The ehoul was given s25
for good body. Sometimes he was
paid $40 night and told TO get as many
bodies as he could. The potter's Geld
at Dunning was always the great hunt
ing ground. There the ghouls might
work at their ease without fear OF being
disturbed, for the bodies they sought
had rot been claimed by reative or
friend, and were, therefore, the natural
and undlsputed prey Of resurrectionists.
Once IN q while the ghoul scaled the

What Made him Weep.
Detroit Ere Press.

He looked a great deal more like
peripatetic pedler than like a tramp,
but he wasn't, just the same, and his
partner, down the road behind the
fence waiting, bore the unmistakable
evidence OF his profession. IL was out
in the suburbs, and, as he went up to
the house from the front gate, he cast
furtIve chances about, as II apprehend-
ing an attack 10 the rear. The lady Of
the house answered his knock.
"Do you want to buy fine blanket
for a uastiff, madam" he inquired az
ter polite salutation.
"No," she responded sharply, ''we
don't keep mastlff."
.Perhaps something about shepherd
dogs size would be acceptable?" he ven
tured.
"We've got no shepherd dog, either"
she snapped.
ST beg your pardon" he persisted.
"Mav be a collar for bulldog, or for
a black-and-tan or a poodle or King
Charles might Gil a long-felt want.
"They won't, she exclaimed, angrily.
1--WE don't keep any dogs on the place,
and we don't want to buy anything for
something we've got nothing OF. Do you
understand that? Good morning." and
she slammed the door in his face.
He smiled somethint more than good
naturally and walked back to the front
gate as imperiously as Cesar and as
iearlessly. He found his partner aud
thew held q consultation Of some dura-
ton.
An hour later, two tramps came over
the back fence Of that house In Wild
tumulous tumble, leaving dog apiece
and a portion of their pants on the other
side. and went flying down the road. AT
a safe distance they paused, and the one
who had talked to the lady at the front
remarked, as he tried to recover his
breath: r,,,,,,

reading OF the Pope's mandate appoint
ing the Bishop elect. He then kneels
before the consecrator, aud on the book

The stockings are purple and the slip
pers have q large cross worked on the
instep. Umler the Roman emperors the
sandals Of the people were replaced
among the mobiles and men OF rank oy
campagia. adorned with gold and pur-
pie. The Church preserves this tradi-
ton by giving the pontiffs the Senator
ial foot covering. the most distinguished
then known. When not officiating the
bishop wears the ordinary footgear.
The pectoral cross is an elaborate gold
ornament filed with relics OF the mar
tyrs, and reminds the wearer OF the Sa-
viOur who died for him and the martyrs
who sealed their faith with their blood.
The small tunic and dalmatic, the
vestments ot the deacon and subdeacon,
show that the bishop is invested with
the plentitude OF the priesthood.
The gloves are to be found as a part or
the episcopal garb as early as the
eighth century. Like the slippers they
have large cross embroidered on the
back. They call to mind Jacobs strag-
agem In the Old Testament, when be
wished to obtain his fathers blessing.

The ring il the sign Of the spiritual
alliance that exists between the bishop
and his Church. He wears 1t on the
forehnger of his right hand. The con-
secrecrating prelate says to him when 1t
is given:-
"A mark Of discretion and dignity,
sign OF fidelity, that you may know how
to Do silent regarding what ought to be
kept silent, to manifest what ought to
be manifested, to bind what ought to be
bound, aud TO loose what ought to be

sacerdotal supremacy. 1t dates back

the matter2 It Is q sin and shame,
and asa matter OF fact It is high time
to call halt.
Teams not actually engaged In traffic
on the streets ought not to be permitted
to stand hltched inside the business
mart of any city whatever. Even Min
neapolis, big and prosperous as she is,
still permits hundreds OF farm teams to
stand tied along its main avenues, not
only by the hour, but by the day, vast
fringe of starvation, collie and bolts In
the very heart Of great, thriving
and beautiful city.
The farmer would not want the gas
works on his farm. Why does he ex-
uect to bring his nuisances into town?
Because the farm is too often in the
spring of the year vast, humiliating
exposure, that is no reason why these
sanitary methods should be brought
into town, is it?
Lima has about the earliest electric
car line in America. 1t is a double
trolly system, and the cars are getting
old and childish. The rolling stock is
to be renewed very soon.

early in the discovery business. and L
then prophesied that gas from the in
terror of the earth would continue TO
manifest itself up to the present time,
and possibly even later. Subsequent

The electric street cars OF Lima are
sadly out of repair, as l said. They
have the odor of a cheap lodging house
on the Bowery, as nearly as l can recall
it now. They are shabby in the ex-

Lima is one of the thrifty and pros
porous cities of Ohio, and is also the
home Of the Lima bean.
