OBITUARY..
Mrs. George w. Lovejoy,

The circums tances connected with the
recent death of Mrs. George W. Lovejoy
were very sad. Only week before her
death, and when she had given up all
hope of recovery, her child died, and
from that time she failed rapidly. Death
was sudden, and even after she was I'M
able to speak she indicated by signs that
she knew still her mother and husband,
who were with her at the last. She was
the only child of Joseph and Margaret
Mackin, and was the light of her home,
and very popular with wide circle ct
friends. He funeral was held at her
late residence 60 Pine street, and was
conducted by Rev. DR.. Blanchard, who
spoke in a touching way of her bright
and Christian life. The floral offerings
were very beautiful, including pillow
inscribed "Mollie," her family name,

Tailed Englishmen.


 The legend of msn with tails has spscis interest for Us because 1t was applied tt Englishmen, in all good faith, doubtless for generations. Matthew Paris repeatl without comment the Comte d'Artois' ex clamation after William Long aespes with drew, with all the English contingent while the Crusaders were beaieging Damie tia, wsaried out ct length by the insolenc. of their allies. "Now," cried the comte with an oath, "the noble French army 1, we'll rid of those tailed Euglish." ws know the story to which he alluded. It 1, found in all the lives of Thomas Becket the most popular of medieval saints. Al the archbishop passed through Stroud, near Rochester, going into exile, the townsmen reviled him. More than that, so far as his convenience went, though perhaps less sinful, they cut off the tails of his baggage horses. Randulf de Broc, one of the murderers, put the came rather odd indignity upon him at c later date. We are told that Becket bore the insults to himself with upaltersble compoeure, but the mutilation of his horses reused him to vengeance. With bell, book and candle, at the first opportunity, he excommunics- ted the men of Stroud, who forthwith found themselves equipped with horses' tails. We never chanced to read how they lest those appenda3es, but, doubtless, the story exists somewhere, probably in the life of another saint; for . miracle like this could not prudently be represented as enduring. Thus, by a nat rsl exsggera- tiop, the idea spread through Europe that all Englishmen had tails. But, as a mat ter of fact, the notion of tailed people was familiar in this islsnd ages before; some ptous chronioler recalled 1t, no doubt, when engaged upon that incident in the life of Becket, and saw how dramatically It might be worked in to punish the blss- phemers. King Alfred mentions in his pleasant way that the Lindiswearss, the men of Lincolnshire, were accredited with taile; but he answers for it that the story s untrue.

THE NEW YORK CONFERENCE

Of Swedish Lutherans-Third Days,
 Continues To-day.
 The third days session of the New York conference of the Swedish Evangelical Lu. theran society was held yesterday in the St. Johns street church. A very interest, ing report of the school board of Upsala college was read and discussed. Dr. LII. Beck is the president of the college. He is an able man and Is highly esteemed by every member of the conference. The college is prospering, the number of stu dents has been constantly increasing, and able preachers have been engaged and are working faithfully. Besides the ordinary college curriculum, musical conservatory and business department have been formed and are prospering.
 As the college opened last fall and the conference has not besa abe to hold [ legal meeting before this yearly meeting, the proper arrangements have not been taken as yet for incorporating the college. It was decided that the college remain at Brooklyn, as being the most centrally To. cated place for the conference.
 Incorporators were also elected to ap- point directors and to incorporate tho col lege properly.
 The question of . business manager for tho college was taken up and discussed and the directors were authorized to call and appoint such manager.
 After the close of the session all present psrtook of a bounteous repast in the par iors of the church. Responses to toasts were made by Rev. Dr. Roden of Rock leland. H., Rev. O. S. Johnson of Boston, Rev. C, A. Clarkson of Africa.
 Last evening Rev. Henry Fl. Jacobson of Cambridge, Mass, and Rev. G. A. Apslson of Pierson, Fla, gave addresses in the church. The session continues to day. This evening concert will be given.

Jere- miah Atwater to the First church of Christ in New Haven, A. D 1735."
 The tradition Is that MT. AtWater in- tended to repair his house, purchased e keg of nsils in Boston in which he found concealed soms silver coin. He wrote to the Boston merchant, cquainting him with the discovery and inquiring how the money could be restored to- the rightful owner. The merchant replied that the nails were imported with many other similar pack. sgesi that the ksg had passed through many hands, and having no distinguishing mark. could moi be traced back; that ss for himself he pur chased the goods for nails and sold then
 for nails and of course had no claim fol
 the money, and that the present poseesso
 must dispose of 1t ss he saw fit. Mir. At
