wOMAN's HOME MISSIONS.
Regular Quarterly Meeting OF tn
Society Held Today.

meeting of the united branches of the
Woman's Home Missionary Society of the
presbytery of Washington was held this
morning at the West Street Church in
Georgetown. Mrs. Hamlin, wife of the pas
tor of the Church of the Covenant, pre-
sided. Over 100 of the most earnest work
ers in the cause were present Reports
were read by the various committees con-
nected with the society and a fiourishing
condition of things shown. Considering the
times the treasury was considered to be
we'll equipped for the work it had before It,
MIR. McAfee Against Utah Statehood.
The principal speaker of the day was Mr.
McAfee, a gentleman long engaged in mis-
sionary work in Utah, Colorado and New
Mexico. He came to Washington for the
purpose of opposing. on religious grounds
the admission into the Union of the first
named state. The speaker said polygamy
vas still practised there to an alarming ex-
tent. though apparently it had been sup
pressed. He had been brought in personal
contact with the barbarous custom. Under
meath an apparent friendship the Mormons
harbored an intense hatred for the Christ
ians or genties.
MOrmOn's I'm the Majority.
The Mormons are in the vast majority
On the admission of the state they would
elect from their own ranks their lawmakers
and run things regardless of the religious
institutions that the United States have
been hundred years in building up
Missionaries were often not tolerated
there. One, of his acquaintance, a woman,
had, on scores of occasions, been assailed
with bad eggs.
The meeting was the regular quarterly
one Of the society. Contributions were
made.
In addition to their work among the Nor
mons, the society is doing much toward en-

The Regulations Waived.

Application was recently made to the
Commissioners by the Washington Gas
Light Company to lay a main from the
German Orphan Asylum up the Good Hope
hill. thence into Bowen road and thence
into Both street The plumbing regulations
prohibit the opening or laying of gas mains
at this season of the year. but in view of
the fact that over 100 men will be employed
to do the work the regulations were waved
and the permit issued.
She Wants Transportation.
Mr.. r. G. d. Havens writes to the Com
missioners today as follows:
VIII you please give a charter to some
thing, If 1t be wneelbarrow company
which will furnish transportation for our
part Of the city? The lexington line has a
track. but no cars to speak of. L can walk
to the treasury in less time than can 60 by
that line. the cars often running over twenty
minutes apart. 1 have to start at O. clock
to get to work at y; but, IL were able to
walk, could walk in thirty minutes. They
seem to have no regular schedule and each
car seems to wait until all the seats are
full. and often twenty people standing. be-
fore it can start. We are disguised with a
company which gives US transportation till
1t has sold off it's real estate and then drops
1t. Is there no law compelling transporta-
ton companies to transport"

Joseph, p. McCullen and Clement r. VAIN
wright of Philadelphia and Hon. Eckley B.
Cox of Luzerne county, Pa. are here today
protesting against the appointment of John
r. Reed for collector of the port of Phila-
deiphia. The three gentlemen first named
had conference this morning with Secre-
tary Carlisle. They asserted that Mr.. Reed
was very unpopular outside of Philadelphia
and that their protests Philadelphians
expressed the opposition to him in the city.
One of the trio added, with grim humor,
that Mr.. Reeds appointment would create
further dissensionS within the party and
that 1t would result in three factions,
where there are now two. 1.-The democratic
party in Pennsylvania, Mr.. Secretary, said
he, isn't large enough to stand that"
The other members of the delegation will
have an interview with President Cleve-

DnfYinu the LAW.

The death of Mr.. Pyne, the mem
Der of parliament who has often been
referred to as barricading himself
against the police in his Irish home,
serves to recall the story of the
watch which he left with a fellow
member to be forwarded to his wife.
On the dial was roughly engraved
the words, "Pay. no rent" This was
one of Mr.. Pyne's original devices
akin to his famous exploit in his cas-
tie. Whenever in troublesome times
any of his poor neighbors came tc
him for advice as to what the,
should do in the face of demand
for rent, Pyne would shake his head
Il cannot give you advice on this
subject, he said, because Mr.. Bal
four says it is illegal, but I'll tell you
what I'll do, will show you what
time Of day it is, and holding out
his watch the inquiring tenant read
upon it the admonitory legend. LION

Is the Husband to Blameq

do not agree with so many who
pronounce the genial pleasant hus-
band myth. He is not, but he is
sadly in the minority. Without be-
ing partial to my sex / believe it il
generally the fault of the husband
that the wife lacks animation when
in his presence. A woman to be
agreeable, charming, delightful must
have an incentive, and there is no
greater one to be found than the in
nate feeling that the person with
whom you are thrown is waiting
anxiously for your opinion and
watches your every expression and
gesture with loving chances.
Why, have known the harshest
voice and most abrupt mannerisms
to soften and refine under such tute-
lage. Lowell 1t is all powerful
woman, needs it; must have it to
grow and develop. What does she
care about politics if she feels that an
expressed opinion is likely to subject
her to ridicule2 What interest is she
going to take in the current events of
the day when she must needs go away
from home to discuss theme Strang-
est of all strange things, once upon
time this woman's word was law,
and the man who does not now care
ha'penny what she thinks, in days
gone by hung upon her words as if
they were so many pearls of wisdom.
Undoubtedly the women have a
right to complain, for mans indif-
ference to the woman whom he has
chosen for life partner is made to
furnish a background for two-t thirds
of the word pictures drawn. The
stage seems to revel at the fact. I'm

Among the Africans.

II have a fellow feeling for Stan
ley" says General Horace Porter.
II, too, once undertook an exploring
expedition among the Africans. l
was ordered south from Washington
to investigate the Freedman's bureau,
and fully appreciate the difficulties
he labored under in treating with
these dusky tribes. 1t is generally
understood that in the rear of Vicks-
burg General Grant encountered the
Big Black. You know in the war
we organized quite number of black
regiments, because of course it was
necessary to have a color line. Twas
in South Carolina when we organized
the first colored regiment We drilled
them out on a march, but before they
had gone two miles their knapsacks
were unstrung and balanced on their
heads for the rest of the march. The
first money they got they spent fol'
hoopskirts for their sweethearts, and
the girls put them on the outside of
their dresses, which made every one
look like a chimpanzee in a cage. y

Hints on Social Calls.

In the evening a young society
man should don his best suit of
clothes and most attractive boutOn-
Mere and go to call on some charm
ing young lady friend; arriving at
the house and making himself thor
oughly comfortable upon divan
bolstered up by artistic cushions, and
as the result of an active day OF
business life which he has left be-
hind he should yawn, 'twould be bet
ter to so well disguise it as not to be
seen. But having felt all the relief
one can feel from having a good
old yawn," and having been OBJ
served by his hostess, then he
should, with all the fortitude born
of an emergency, yank himself from
the too comfortable divan and re-
solve himself by all the gods not to
yawn again. Not having done so,
perhaps the aforesaid charming
young hostess would conclude she
had made a greater success at enter
tanning him. Galveston News.

much had the long journey shaken
me. l sat at the end of the car, and
the catch being broken and myself
sick and feverish, l had to hold the
door open with my foot for the sake

In this attitude my leg barred the
newsboy from his box Of merchan-
disc l made haste, to let him pass
when observed that he was coming,
but was busy with book, and so,
once or twice, he came upon me I'M

On these occasions he most rudely
struck my foot aside, and though l
myself apologized, as if to show him
the way, he answered me never a
word. chafed furiously, and fear
the next time it would have come to
words; but suddenly l felt a touch
upon my shoulder, and a large,
juicy pear was put into my hand.
1t was the newsboy, who had OBJ
served that was looking i'll, and so
made me this present out Of tender
heart.
For the rest of the journey I was
petted like a sick child; he lent me
newspapers, thus depriving himself
of bis legitimate profit on their sale
and came repeatedly to sit by me
and cheer me up. - Across the
