WELCOMED THE HORRIBLES.
The Bridegroom Sat Up a Fence and
Got the Laugh on Them.

Lewiston Evening Journal
Ii was In Somerset County. not thousand
miles from New Portland, that there lived
man who went to serenade all of the people
who got married. He seemed to delight In
raising q company Of boys and going to
house where a newly married couple were
sweetly sleeping and suddenly awakening
them with the impression that all Of the
brood Of hell was loose.
Steve was go0d-natured fellow and had
many good qualities, and so II was natural
that he himself should fail into the snare of
pretty woman and get married. As be had
been a ringleader In the sport The word was
given out and the men from all over town
came down and went up to Steve's house at
midnight. Every cowbell and every old gun
in town was there. The air hung heavy
and thick with gunDowder smoke like a
battlefield after a few rounds. All was dark
and quiet in the house, and the serenadeTs
kept 1t up till morning.
''He shan't get out OF il that wav," they
said, and teams scurried along the country
highways IN every direction that day sum-
moning the clanSmen to the BON bardment.
They got there early that night. No one
fired a gun till all was ready, and then il
all came like a crash of lightning, with
accompanying thunder.
Ii was IL o'clock when Steve came 10 the
door. rubbing lis eyes and looking in his
half-dressed condition as if ne had just got
up.
"Why, fellers. | didn't know you were
here. l just heard a noise and thought that
It might be you. and s 0 came out. Come in,
you fellers, and be at home. | hain't got
much, but have a little good cheer. Come
in, | say. and make Yourself at home"
In they came and Steve lighted all the
lamps Now what lie had was a barrel OF
cider into which the day before he had
poured all the rum and whisky it would
hold, They all took hold ana drank 1t np.
Steve stood around urging them 10 take
some more. Don't be skeery of 1t, felers,
there's more down stairs" Some OF them
knew when they took the first glass that 1t
was loaded. but they didn't pay any atten-
tion sfterward.
Well. you ought to have seen them swill
that stuff Why, there were men there
drinking split-apple juice and whisky that
to-day are holding very high places in the
synagogue. Along toward morning they
commenced to mesnder out toward the viii
lage. Steve lived a quarter Of a mile from
the village. When The sun came up next
morning those good people were laid along
beside the road like tired egment that
sleeps upon its arms.
BY noon most Of the men were taken
away and carried home by their friends.
When they came to and met on the street
corners TO talk serenade again they thought
that Steve had rather got ahead of them.

High Bidding for a iindoo God.
New Orleans Pieayune.

An English gentleman at an auction sale
of East Indian relics paid $4,000 for the
famous HindoO god Lingam. Lingam is
only trifie over foot in height, but he is
said 10 be worth his weight In diamonds.
The base Of the figure is of pure hammered
gold. and around it are set nine gems-a
diamond. ruby. sapphire, chrysoberyl, cats
ana mOOnstOne. The apex Of the figure.
which is in the shape Of a pyramid, is en-
circled with a pinth set with small but
very fine diamonds. The pinnacle Of the
pyramid is a topaz, one and ten-sixteenths
of an inch in depth; this is in the shape of
horseshoe. the center being a cats-eye of
exceeding brllliancy. When the Dad

exiled to the Andaman Islands. his queen
secreted tins idol, and it was never seen
again until recent research brought il to
light, wheTeuron 1t was taken TO London.

A Woman to Be Honored.


At the June commencement Johns Hop
kins University will bestOw upon a woman
the highest honor 10 the gift Of the uniyer-
sity-the degree Of doctor of philosophy.
Florence Bascom, the fortunate Young
woman whose ability has won the promise
of the coveted degree without dissenting
vote from the board of the university, is
already he holder of four degrees from the
University OF Wisconsin, ana her principal
subject OF study now, the one for which her
thesis will be presented. is organic geology.
The application of Miss BaScom has brought
out the fact that some time in 1877
the trustees Of the university passed a
minute that any woman who follows the
course OF lectures at Johns Hopkins is
elig bic TO degree. but this minute has
been practically dead letter by reason of
the fact that women were not permitted to
attend lectures. And though Miss Bas-
CONS success promises well for the ulti-
mate recognition of woman's equality in
this conservative Institution Of learning, at
present the faculty have not abrogated any
OF their rules concerning the admission of
women, except in the medical department.
They will act on each individual case, and
will not grant to women in general the
right TO take graduate lectures in nom pro-
fessiOnal departments

international Copyright and Free Art.

In the last Congress great step was
taken in civilization when, against the bit
terest prejudces and most alarmed entreat-
les. a large measure of justice was done to
intellectual property by the passage OF the
international copyright bill. That meas
ure has already justified the claims of its
friends and shown the groundlessness of
the fears of its enemies. 1t vas not asked
for as matter of favor, but OF right; aud
it is on this ground, and iu the same spirit
Of self-respect, that American artists and
their allies ask for the Justice that lies in
free opportunity. To provide this is the first
OF government. No man is a beggar who asks
for it; no good citizen will be content with
less. And as no public investment is so
valuable to a Government as its investment
in The respect Of It's own citizens, il is to be
hoped that before the close Of the present

A Woman's Lonely HaIf-Centurv.

A strange romance was ended by the death
near Stonersville, Pa, recently of Mary
Refs, who for fifty years lod lonely life
because her parents forbade an early mar
riage. She was rs years old. When pirI
she fell in love with a young man whom
her parents did not admire. and they for
bade a marriage. This broke Mary's heart
and her home had no more charms for her.
She preferred to live by herself ard she re-
fused to accept the hospitality of friends or
nelghbors saying that all the world was
against her. Twenty years ago she moved
into the little stone house, aud after that
she rarely saw anybody. On Monday a
friend called and offered to help her In any
way, but the aged lady refused aid. Her
body was discovered on her kitchen floor
and $40 was found in the little house OF the
recluse.

House Judge Newton, of the Coney Island
Athletic club, and W. A. Brady. James j.
Corbett's manager, met and signed arti-
cles calling for contest at Coney Island
next December.
The articles call for scientific glove
contest of twenty rounds or more for
purse OF $4,000, on day to be hereafter
mutually agreed upon between Dec. 8 and
Dec. 20 next, under the rules of the Mar
quis of Queensbury, which are to be fol-
lowed by the official referee in every in
stance and particular, the winner TO re-
ceive the full purse Of $4,000 without res
ervation. The gloves shall be of a size nj.
ready mutually agreed upon by the prin-
cipals thereto, but of not less than five
ounces.
All of the conditions in the agreement
signed during the month of February,
1893, shall hold good in this agreement.
The club agrees to post $4,000 and the
principals $1,000 each.
The articles will be delivered to Mitchell

Whether the articles will be carried to
Mitchell by a commissioner of the club or
intrusted to the mails is as yet undecided.
They must go by the first steamer in order
to be returned by Aug g.

SHOCKED CHURCH PEOPLE.
Sunday School Picnicksrs Object to the
Skirt Dance.

HAcKENsAcK, N. j., July 13.--The Sun
day schools Of the First and Second Re-
formed churches of Hackensack went to
Greenwood Lake on their annual picnic.
1t required eleven passenger coaches to ac-
commodate the throug, many who en-
joyed the outing not being Sunday school
members.
Much dissatisfaction was caused among
the Sunday school members by the pres
ence of large number of beer kegs on
the picnic grounds, and this was aug
mented later by number of the younger
members engaging in dancing in the pa
vilion. Pastor Vanderwart appeared on
the scene and endeavored to put stop to
this diversion. The noise was so great
however, that his words of remonstrance
were not heard, and he was compelled to
pound on the floor with his umbrella in
order to gain attention. He asked that
the dancing be stopped. but his request
was unheeded.
An actor and four soubrettes of New
were among those on the dancing plat
form. Tho actor played lively airs on the
violin, and the soubrettes danced a reel
and other fancy steps, finishing with q
sensational skirt dance, in which high
kicking was the principal feature.
The pastor and the church officers were
grievously shocked by this exhibition, and
the women teachers hid their faces in their
hands 1t was decided that If the Sunday
schools ever have another picnic Green
wood Lake will not be selected as the place
for the outing.
