she herself was 10 be the mark. Mrs.
McGOggin resigned as usual on Tuesday
morning and packed her goods. Mrs.
Blake cOntrived to have an expressman

day, when the hour for the usual pros

such ceremony occurred. Mrs. McGog-

was omitted; she supposed that it was
postponed. She took every step to-
ward her departure with a feeling that
the next miuute she would be urged to
remain, an6jn that way she and the

some hours, and was at last towed In by

The rage Of Mrs. McGoggin on be-

Gov. Boies spoke here this afternoon.

Democratic party. He devoted the
bulk OF bis time 10 the tarlh. pensions,

On the silver question, he said:
1.-THE differences Of opinion seem 70

lieye that some provision IL necessary,

because OF thu great disparity In tho

which the coin would be made, while
many individuals In both OF these par
ties. and the Popuists "a a party. be-
lleye free coinage Of both metals at the
old ratio would IN and OF Itself MAINTAIN
their parity as money. This question
never ought 10 DO hampered By paru-
san politics. II requires for It's proper
adjustment the best thought OF the best

gravely upon the reputation OF the
household as q comfortable place Of
abode; and after 1t had been going on
for a few weeks Mrs. Blake was rea-
sonably certain that she conld never
get another servant in case Mrs.
McGoggin should leave. In view
McGoggin with the utmost con-
sideration and Difference, with the
natural result that she was obliged to
treat her better every day. Mrs. Nc
Goggin's heart could be reached
through her children, and therefore
Mr.. Blake was required to kiss ore Of
them every morning after break
fast. The orders AZ first were TO
do it before breakfast, season
when Mrs. McGoEgin's temper was
accustomed to stand most In need Of
soothing influences, but this course Of
treatment was found TO interfere so
seriously with Mrs. Blake's appetite
that he was permitted to take it after
meals. In the beginning he was al
lowed to choo Sc the cherub whose coun-
tenance preserved the higher average
Of cleanliness, but IL was soon evident
~
was not what IL should have been.
Close observation then disclosed the
fact that she had distinct preference
for the child with the constitutionally
dirty face, and that any attention to
the other aroused maternal jealousy.
Mr.. Blake made some feeble remon-
STRANGE when this state OF affairs was
explained TO him, but he was good
husband, and eventually learned to take
his medicine with resignation.
The steamboat, going west, touched
at Amity Dam Wednesdays and Satur-
days. IL cams TO pas safter awhile that
Mrs. McGoggin resigned her position
regularly on Tuesdays and Fridays in
the morning. She spent those days
In packing up her worldly possessions,
and Mrs. Blake did the work. On
Wednesday and Saturday forenoons
Mrs. McGoggin said her farewells.
About dinner time the entire family
Of Blake Frustrated themselves at her
feet, aRd by the time the dishes had
been washed Mrs. McGoggin had agreed
TO remain. She spent the after Moons
In unpacking her goods, and on Thurs
days aud Sundays she went about ex-
planning 10 the neighbors' servants why
il was that she had not gone away.
Mrs. Blake was long suffering and
slow 10 anger, but she naturally did
not regard this state Of affairs as Ideal.
Consequently she began TO scheme for
change. Unknown 10 Mrs. MCGog-

THE SECRET SOCIETIES
MASONRY.

On last Monday evening Ohio Lodge
No. l held its communication with
large number of jealous brethren pres
emit, and there were brought there fully
expecting TO work one or more OF the
degrees, but unfortunately none OF the
aspirants for advancement turned up
and in consequence 1t had to be de
ferred until next meeting.
Ga Tuesday evening Cyrene Comman
derry held a special conclave Tor WORE
with a good turn out Of the members o.
the Commandery and visiting oil
Knights OF Wheeling Comm andery No
l. Work was had on one candidate
and he is the first TO be made Red
Cross knight In our City In accordance
with the new ritualistic revision, and Of
which every part was well and thor
oughly done TO the edification OF the
candidate and Knights present, and the
officers only need some more practice
to make them perfect, which could moi
be otherwise, from the impressions
formed on rehearsal at the last conciaVe
Of the Commandery.
On Thursday evening Wheeling Lodge
No. 5, held It's regular communication,
with a reasonable number OF Jealous
brethren present. Worshlpful Master
Henry SpeYer presided In the EAST
and with the assistance OF Grand Lee
turer McCahon on the floor, the
Fellow Craft degree was conferred
on one candidate in most Intelligent
and effective manner, to the editlcation
and entire satisfaction of the candidate
as well as 10 the brethren also. Ine
latter expressed to the WorshipIui
Master their qualification, one ana all,
Of the excellent way he had conIerreu
the degree, 1t being his first attempt on
a candidate, and it Is to be hoped In the
future that the members OF NO. VIII
turn out en- masse to future meetings
TO view his good work.
The bodies that meet during the COM
ing week are Wheeling Union Chapter
No. l, on Monday evening, and as there
is a we'll qualified team ready to ascend
the road which leads to fame and the
ADex of the Arch work will begin at the
mark and some royal work will be had
at the convocation, and which will
doubtless draw a very large gathering
OF companions to assist In its exemplif-
cation.
Bates Lodge No. SO will hold its reg
ular communication on Tuesday even
ing and from the amount OF ashlers
which have been quarrled of late some
good work will be executed in one or
more of the degrees by Worshipful
Master Conrad Hirsch and his corps Of
officers at this meeting, and which will
insure a very large attendance OF breth-
rem at the meeting.
On Thursday evening Nelson Lodge
No. 80 will hold It's stated communities
ton with full attendance OF It's breth-
rem, which is usually found there.
Work will be had in one or more OF the
degrees at that time, to which are in
vlted by Worshipful Master Dudley all
sojourning brethren.

1t is claimed by the French press that

that they have failed even to give or

To add to the interest taken In the
Siamese question as likely to affect the
peace of Europe, the Figaro to-day
makes a most important announcement.
1t is to the effect that Germany, having
been informed that the visit OF the
Russian fleet to Toulon will result in
the establishment OF coaling station
for Russian war vessels on the French
coast, has asked for and obtained
counterbast, the ceSsion OF small
island on the Italian coast In order To
use it as a coaling station for battleshIps

been consulted by both Germany and
Italy before this important move on the
European chess board was made; In
fact, it is believed that the whole mat
ter was discussed and settled during the
recent yachting visit Of the Emperor OF
Germany to England. II reports are tc

ed to Germany is to be converted into
German rendezvous fortress in the Med
