Labouohere'. New York Experience.

While Henry Labouchere was on duty
in Washington no had a curious expert
ence on one of his visits to New York.
where he had been sent on diplomatic
business. One evening, his funds hav-
ing run rather low, he entered second
rate saloon in street off Broadway and
was mistaken by gang Of Irish-Ameri-
cans inside for truculent patriot known
as The O'Meagher. At some personal
risk he kept up the delusion and allowed
the bold patriots to entertain him to
welcome dinner. He only managed.
however, to escape from them after con-
siderable trouble, eventually giving
them the slip by boldly calling at the
house Of a perfect stranger, telling him
the facts and asking him to be allowed
to remain for an hour or two in order to
tire out his new acquaintance. who
were waiting for him outside the door.
This SO tickled the fancy OF the gentle
man in question that he insisted upon
his visitors staying all night, and by
the time he left the next day he num-
bered his host among his firmest friends
"a friendship which exists at the pres
emit time.--Cor. New York World.

Women ralsing tho Places of Men.


In Holland men can no longer DO
trusted to work the switches on the rail-
ways, and women now fill their places.
This is slap in the face indeed to the
male sex, and great triumph to the ad-
vocates of female labor. But we have
yet to sec how the thing works. The
men say that there will now be looking
glasses in the switch boxes, and that the
women will never leave them till they
have smoothed their last hair and settled
the bow Of their last ribbon, and that in
the meantime there will be collisions;
that when left to themselves they never
have been in time for the train as pas
sengers, and will not be more punctual
as pointswomen; and, finally, that If they
hear their lovers whistle anywhere in
the neighborhood they will pay very lit
tie attention to that Of the locomotive.
If these objections are not valid, con-
clude the men, 1--WE are not Dutchmen."

Railroad companies should be COM

over two hundred In number, reached this

on their trip last Friday. from Pitts

New Brunswick. 1t is to be feared that
this is only one Of numberless instances
where animals suffer like torments. 1t
ought to be impossible for such thing to
occur, except by accident. People are
not yet half civilized that permit such
cruelties.

Mr.. EDITOR :

Mr.. EDITOR -
AS lover OF fair play, | want to say
that the charge of ga License Man" in
last weeks paper that the proprietor OF
the Union House boosted about his In
fiuence with one OF the Governors Staff,
etc., is cont of the whole cloth, " and only
made for the purpose of putting Mr.. w.
in an nipple asant and unfair position.
Why he should be singled out for ma
licious attack more than the other land
lords, can't understand. He had MOTH
ing to do with refusing the license In the
First Ward, and the idea that he had is
simply the imagination of a disappointed
aspirant for license. The Governor, l
am told, gave notice to the Board that no
new saloon licenses were to be granted,
and they were appointed with that under
standing.
The imaginary Irishman, who, when he
gets mad, always strikes at head when
he sees it, is outdone by one who when
he gets mad strikes at head whether he
sees it or not, but 1t isn't just the fair and
square thing to do. VINDEx.

A cosMoPoLITAN SCHOOL.
A Queer Mixture OF Children I'm One I
New Ynrkla Iin schnnI nniiai..

A Queer Mixture Of Children I'm One OF
New York's Rig School Buildings.
Until about year ago the principal
OF ward school No. 90, New York, did
not realize what queer lot Of pupils be
had, although he had sometimes laughed
over the strange collection Of names
upon the rolls. A year ago he took
census and carefully traced out the
exact part of the earth from which the
parents Of each of his pupils had come.
de found thatthere were in his school
no less than twenty-seven different ma
uonaities, speaking about twenty-five
languages other than English and its
dialects. He found that of these sixteen
were in the primary department alone
So not long afterward he arranged a
novel feature to one of the school enter
tainments. AT certain place in the
programme each child arose, holding
In his or her hands two flags. One was
the American flag, the other the flag of
the nation from which the father had
come. The visitors to the school were
astonished. They recognized half
dozen flags well known as the banners
OF European nations-Italian, German,
Spanish, French, Swiss and the like.
Then they saw nearly dozen others,
recognizable from their shapes and colors
and designs as the banners Of barbaric
or semibarbario countries, known to us
in vague way as heather.
When these children, none being un-
der five years of age, first come to this
school they are foreigners to the very
core. They speak the language of their
fathers, and perhaps have never even
heard the sound of an English word.
They are of the country from which
their parents came both in customs and
ideas. Their clothing alone bears the
stamp of America, and that so out Of &C
cord with their faces and expression,
that they seem i'll at ease, and even more
poorly clad than they really are. They
enter the primary department.. Ant
here it may be said that, although tn,
youngest are five years old, the ages O
many extend upward toward eighteen
and twenty years.
1t is the business of Miss Rose O'Neil
and her seven assistants to teach thes,
children the English language, and theI
to make American children out of them
Go into the school at the beginning o.
the school year, and you will think tn,
task hopeless, impossible. Come bacl
at the end of six months, and If yor
close your eyes and listen to the reading
exercises you will not be able to dis
tinguish Chinese child or Arab child OIL

Fourth of July Happenings.


Post 20 Band played for the New Hope
NJ. E. Church festival on The 4th.
The P. o. s. of A. Band went to Mil
ford and participated in the P. o. s. of A.
parade at that place.
Post 20 Band was out early in the
morning and played through the principal
streets.
The Catholic picnic was success and
passed off very quietly. A large crowd
was present. s. ]. Pickering furnished
the music, consisting of a harp, cornet
aud violin.
The city was unusually quiet, consider
ing the amount OF beer that was con-
sumed.
"Young America was out in full force
from early morning until late at night,
shooting off bis savings of months back.
We also noticed that "Old America" was
quite enthusiastic this year, especially at
the corner of Church and Main streets,
where they were busy almost all day
throwing dynamite crackers at each other
and placing them 10 each others pocket to
be let off.
Howard Soliday had his face and hands
burned by a large cracker going of unex-
pectedy.
One of our young men, said to be learn
ing the printers trade, thought he would
surprise young lady by placing pack
Of large fire crackers under her bedroom
window and shooting them off. To ac-
complish this, he had to climb on the
roof Of the front porch, but when he got
up, instead of surprising the young lady
he was surprised by being confronted by
the young lady's mother, who informed
him that - was not home.

and long continued experiments to pro-
duce a perfect machine. superior TO all
others now before the public In point OF
ease, rapidity and precision Of action,
uniformity Of tension and perfection Of
