Westminster Abbe,'s Only Mechanic,

George Graham, the only mechanic
buried in Westminster Abbey, was the
son of William Graham, OF Blackstone,
in the County OF Cumberland, England.
At the age Of thirteen he went to Lon
don and apprenticed himself to Thomas
Tompion, a noted clock aud watch
maker, and later was taken into partner
ship, and became famous for the excel
leuce of his work. 1t was, however, his
scientific investigations that gave him
great prominence. He corrected tho
variations OF the pendulum due to the
changes of temperature, by inventing the
mercurial bob. The great clock at
Greenwich which regulates the time OF
the world was made by him in l727,
and, although it has done duty for near
ly century aud three-quarters, 1t IS
still in use and now could scarcely be
surpassed in its mechanical excellence.
II ia said, Notwithstanding the long in-
teryal since it was made, that it does
not REQUIRE attention oftener than once

used bv the English Government for the
testing of quadrauts and other instru-
ments, was the WORK OF his hands. 80

Only in Germany, Austria, Hungary
and Turkey are the women now excluded
from university study, AYERS the Brook

Australia are coeducational, and reports
from Bombay, India aud japan show that
desire for higher education is con-
stantly evidenced by the number Of
women attending college. The Royal
University Of Ireland grants medical de-
grees to women, while Dublin Unjvcr-
sity has lately bestowed the degree Of
Doctor OF Laws upon a girl.

Of robbery and murder, the gang ms
their legitimate fate. Fhey tried to
rob two banks In Coffeyville, Kan,
and their expedition was fatal. OF
the six, four were killed, one was
mortally wounded, and the other will
soon join his associates. This for
tunate radiance was accomplished
only by the sacrifice OF the lives Of
five citizens. There was poetic justice
in the fact that the Daltons ended
their careers in the place where they
began their crimes. Their history
was long record Of villainy, and
their death is blessing to that en-
tire section Of country.

Y. B. BISHOP, Island Pond, VI

lesson given at Bumsiead Hall Sunday
afternoon, the 4th, brought many in touch
with matters that had before been a sealed
book. The class included representatives Of
about every trade and calling, and proved
that au interest in music can be awakened
by this means in vast number OF channels
that are to be reached in no other way. The
members OF the class were quickly inter-
ested in the subject matter Of instruction,
and the attention given for an hour and a
half resulted in excellent progress.
Fraternal Benefit Orders.
The tribulations OF fraternal and endow-
ment orders seem to increase, the Order of
Solon being the latest TO appear before the
courts for adjudication of its affIirs. This
time it is a man of the cloth who is at the
bottom OF all the trouble. aud there are some
g. oaO00 of outstanding Certificates
Liable to be left in the pockets OF their
holders. Whether there are any GER
ificate holders in Boston | do not know,
but presume there are, for no people have
shown greater fondness for this sort of

Order of Scion seems to have been rightly

them, and that was the Rev. W. r. Covert
of PittsbIrg, Pa, who has a cinch on the
funds Of the order.

bers of the New England association. Moth.
ing definite has been done yet or even de-
cided upon, but there is every likelihood oi
some such plan going through. The new
association is in no way projected as rival
to the big association. In fact, the promo
moters are recognized as among the leading
spirits Of the New England body, and the
scheme is fostered in the belief that another
association would do much TO enhance the
value of the New England stakes.

Peculiar Security.

The recently-developed case in which q
cemetery lot was mOrtgaged to secure loan
from Shylock here in Boston is probably
unequalled in the annals of usurious trans
actions since the time of Esau. That the
facts concerning the transaction have been
made the most OF by the daily press is un-
dOubtedly true; but even IN the most plausi-
bic condition and under the most cXtenu-
ating circumstances, il was not only species
of vandalism, but heartess and altogether
indecent affair. have heard OF men bar
tering their souls for the temporary comforts
Of this world, the devil being mortgage.
but the case of young Scllars is the hrst
authentic instance TO my knowledge at all
approaching such deal. The Shylock who
was party to it, while problbly not as
scrupulous as some OF his fraternity, is a
shining example OF the thousands in this
commonwealth who subsist upon the ncces-
sites Of their fellowmen. The people OF
Massachusetts, owe 1t to themselves, to hui
msnity, and to civilization the world over,
to cease temporizing with usurers. A strin-
gent law against usury, similar TO that of the
state Of New York is needed, with a penal
clause, and should be the first work OF the
next legislature. Such law would not
1nly divert capital into legitimate channels,
but would free US from such a humiliating
transaction as that Of mortgagins the graves
Of dead father aud mother.

The Holiday Display.

shoppers are already so numerous on our
streets as to make pedestrianism difficult,
and the trade in holiday goods now looks al
though 1t would exceed anything known in
previous years. There are some very fine
window displays on the principal streets
and while not so elaborate and extensive as
formerly, they are more numerous and
quite as attractive. The prevailing cXhibi-
tons, this year are Of handkerchief, and the
artistic manner in which these useful
articles are made to represent various
scenes Is simply wonderful. In a depart.
ment store window on Washington street
there Is most attractive and withal beauti-
tul arrangement OF these goods and the
number Of juvenile noses that are every hour
tia.tened against the great plate glass which
protects 1t is an encouraging evidence of the
high esteem in which artistic genius Is held
here at the Hub. The scene, which Is
wrought wholly of white handkerchiefs
represents several children In a pagoda

The Paint and Oil Cn1. which held its

out New England. The decadencc OF the
whaling industry was discussed at this meet.
ing, and some interesting "reminiscences OF
its early days were given by New Bedford
member Speaking o. the whaling industry
reminds me of some figures | recently saw
in regard TO it, which, as indicative
OF the decline, may prove interest
ng to some. In the year 1857 the whaling
industry Of New Bedford was at its hsight,
the value Of the catch OF oil and bone being
B,lIS,12S, as against ABOUT 81, 700, 900 in 1892.
In the first mentioned year 80 ycsses and
10000 men were employed, in the latter
about 100 vessels and 800 men. The most
valuable cargo OF bone and oil ever brought
to New Bedford was that OF the ship On
ward, commanded by Capt. William II.
Allen of Groton, Conn, which arrived in
port in 1865, after three and half years
cruise in the Arctic seas. The value OF the
cargo was s275, 600 Captain Aliens share
being s33, 900. Joseph Russell is credited
with being the pioneer in the whaling busi-
ness, he having engaged in it as early rs the
year 1855 In the oil CITY.

The Teachers Bazaar.

1t was generally predicted that the teach
srs' bazaar would prove great success,
but no one expected that it would reach much
less exceed, the limit of receipts set by its
most sanguine friends. While the net re-
ccipts are not yet definitely known,it is proba-
bic that they will reach 10000, or SO 900
more than its promoters anticipated under
the most favorable c,nditons. The
pedsgogs of Boston now haze
nice nest egg for their mu-
tual benefit association fund, and they can
look forward to a rainy LAY with less anxiety
than few days ago. A lady went into
Messrs. Kidder, Peabody & Co.'S Office the
other day and laid down all envelope on the
counter, telling one Of the clerks that 1t was
for the Teachers Mutual Ben dit Association,

her name, and the clerk put the envelope
with others sent for the same purpose.
