Evidently they thought they could not do
the subject justice in words.
The chairman fastened TO announce
the name of the second candidate-Mrs.
John Dillon. The usual commendatory
letters &c 1rding the candidate were read,
the vouchers said their good words, and
nobody interposed an objection. Yet,
when the bslloting was concluded the
chairman again made the announcement:
The candidate is not elected" There
were more bitter remarks, go bitter that
the chairman felt called upon 10 announce
that any member of Sorosis had a right to
binckball q candidate if she wanted to,
and to Quell the storm the chairman gave
the third name on the list OF applicants,
Mrs Thaddeus b. WRkeman. Mrs. +. b.
FOote arose and said that il had been
stated in her hearing that Mrs Wakemen's
name would not pass the club. In view
OF this she requested the member who had
proposed Mrs. Wakeman to withdraw her
name, lest SOrosis should further dis
grace itself by insulting Mrs. Wakeman as
two previous candidates had been insult
ed"
The ladies present were furious when
the application of Miss Crabtree was de-
feated they were still more furious when
Mrs. Dillon was refused, but they were in
condition approaching frenzy when Mrs.
Wakeman's name was thus disposed of.
The lines OF Cushing's Manual were for-
gotten. Many OF them jumped 10 their
feet, their cheeks flushing, and with voices
pitched much above tho ordinary key,
spoke vigorously aud plainly, without the
customary preface. IL required all the
strength of the chairman's lungs to make
herself heard when she spoke the name Of
the fourth candidate. This was none
other than Miss Alice Carey Croly, called
The Granddaughter of Sorosis," because
she lie the daughter of Jennie June Croly,
Sorosis' organizer 81 wish 20 saw" re-
marked the chairman. that Alice Carey
Croly was named by Sorosis In honor Of
its first president. We surely ought to
take care OF our own.
A semblancs of order having been re-
stored, il was suggested that il wonld be
d graceful compliment to Mrs. Croly II the
club were 10 set aside it's rules and elect
Miss Alice by ncclnmation. Cries of mo,
no, mo- were uttered by many voices and
chaos rei0ned again. The custodian Of
the ballot boxes. affected by the excite-
ment, ran about wildly, and in a number
OF instances offered the boxes 10 the same
ladies several times. Few seemed 10 know
afterward how many times they voted or
whom they voted for, and the great ma
jority are still unaware whether Miss CrOly
was elected or not, not having heard the
announcement of the result, il any was
made. 1t being apparent that order was
out OF the question, for that day at least,
the names of other candidates for Rdmis-
sion were withdrawn by their proposers
aud the ladies passed toward the exits.

Good Collectors.

Samuel Bowen, collector of corpora
ton taxes, turned in last month q
larger amount of taxes, it is said, than
was eyer before returned in one month.
Sam is steadily on the ego" and turns
up so often in front of delInquents that
they look on his appearances as some
thing IN the nature of a reproving
conscience. "Sam," they report
doesn't say much but his looks seem
to remark-'old man, that bill is still
unsettled y"
There is Otto Hohing, too, who is
already square with the State on ac-
count of taxes for 1892, and owes the
county only $66. That accomplish.
ment, we are told, knocks out all
previous records. Otto is another
quiet hustler who gets his taxes with
least expense and friction.
The JOURNAL mentions these matters
voluntarily and because it is due good
officers that the public should know
that they are administering their trusts
as we'll as that duty can be done.

This is too Much.

When | saw in Mr.. Oder's interest
ing paper, last week, that libel on us
bachelors, calling us nuisances, etc.,
what hurt us so much was, also, so
true-"Greater the truth, greater the
libel.' But, to think that The Great
Paper should thus poke fun at our
calamity, and jump on our hard luck.
If we were handsome like Finan, and
had winning ways like Phil, we would
not feel it so but when hope has
snuffed its last ray of expectancy, and
we can find, in the Egyptian darkness,
no straw to make one brick, to lay as
corner stone of even castle in the
air; and in unfinished dreams enjoy
the luxury of grief. This is despair!-

The Coal Trade.

Shipments of coal from the mines of

in long tons
For week ending Sept. ,, 1S93...... 6SO29
" year to same date. ..............2,7 49,, 1856
Increase compared with last year,. 252, 757
The latest news from the markets is
CLEANED as follows:
New York-The condition outlined in our
last review of the soft coal market has con-
tinued, and it has led to the accumulation at
shipping ports of the largest amount ofstand-
ing coal ever known. The railroads all seem
to be insisting upon the prompt relief of cars,
and charters at the full advanced rates have
been freely made. We learn of large
decrease of mining, and all indications point
to the clearing away of the accumulation of
coal at the ports at almost any price for
freights, and also to the Stacking up of pro-
duction and to determination on the part
of shippers to shade conditions of supply and
demand in such man that freights will
resume normal figures.
The principal coal companies report collec-
tions exceedingly good during the financial
furry and up to this week, when some signs
of the stringency in the money market began
to show themselves among their customers.
The general belief is that matters will i'm
prove in comparatively short time and in
view of the lateness of the season an active
trade is anticipated for September. A large
quantity of coal must be shipped within the
coming month or six weeks to supply places
which are inaccessible later ON, and it is
altogether improbable that every one will
delay until the very last before securing full
supply of fuel for the coming winter. If
freghts are high now they will certainly be
higher i'll October and November. Engineer
ing and Mining Jomrnal.
