Novel Things to Get an Extension.
From the Philadelphia Press
Poughkeepsie Sept 10. - The pious
women of Highland have inaugurated a
novel scheme for raising money for the
extension of church work in that place
Their plan is that each of them shall do
some sort of mental labor to which they
are not accustomed. Mrs. Oliver j. Till
son, whose husband is among the wealth.
est men in southern Ulster county, has
set the pace by washing windows for the
mercantile establishments. Mrs. c. H.
GAM, Mrs. Ferris Angevine and Mrs. Sol
Carpenter have commenced cutting
grapes in the vineyards In the fruit belt
near their homes Mrs. Emory Saxton
bakes cakes and pies, which she sells
about the village, and another woman
has taken up the occupation Of bootblack.
There are few earnest church women in
Highland who are not engaged in mental
work of some kind in behalf of the
churches, which are reaping substantial
aid from this unusual method Of bearing
he'croSs.

Victor Hugo

In speaking to young men, once said
1T is the learning acquired at
midnight that will make your future
bright and dazzling as midday"
And in this terse epgram the great
Frenchman stated a truth that applies
equally to struggling, ambitious
young men the world over.
Insomuch as you have yet your
place to make in the world, and will
avail yourself of opportunities to
increase your knowledge and improve
your mind, 50 will you make your
life successful and happy.
A mans brain is a garden given
him to cultivate, and whose products
will be his support.
Plant That Garden
with seed of knowledge and from the
vines will grow the blossoms Of
financial gain and honorable
preferment.
Never before in the history of the
world have young men had an
opportunity to fit themselves for the
battle of life as it is now given them.
In this, as in everything else,
American push and public spirit lead
the world.
All that the college graduate has
been taught, and more, can be

BRIGHTER FOR TIE SANTA re-.
With the appointment Of Col Aldaca
f. Walker to the receivership OF the
Santa Fe, it Il reasonable 70 suppose that
the road will be restored to its Old time
position, and the work Of eradic4ting
from the management all who have been
parties to the diversion Of the earnings
of the property from legitimate channels
will not stop with Mr.. Rsinhart
The Santa Fe IS a magnificent proper
ty. The people Of Kansas feel a sort Of
proprietorship IN it They have seen it
grow from weakling Of few miles ia
length. started on Kansas soil, into the
greatest railroad system on the continent,
with feelings Of Interest and approval
They have regarded it as q Kansas inati-
tuition because it has grown up with the
state, and most Of its business has Leen
done here. Il was with sincere regret
that its decline has been witnessed
The alienation Of so large percentage
IF the roads earnings from lbeir proper
uses has been q great damage not only
to the property but to the employees.
Men who have had their time reduced To
such an extent that it was barely posi-
Die to make enough to live on and have
then been kept out of their wages for
two or three months, cannot b expected
to feel very kindly towards those who
we're responsible for such conditions
If brighter future should be inaug-
urated for the Santa Fe by the readjust-
ment Of its Affairs which IS now in pro-
gress, it will be welcomed not only By
the people Or Topeka but Of the entire
state.

WITHIN the past five years there has

was after this that he got up the Nickel
Plate scheme, out Of which he and his
friends made $13, 900, 600. His subse-
quent career is well known of all men,
Before he began to build railroads he
was a country lawyer. with a practice
rather below that Of most rural legal
lights.
Brice was the son of a Methodist
preacher, whose salary was, of course,
not a large one. The clergyman was
economical, however, and had an in
tense desire that Calvin S. should re-
ceive the training that is furnished by
the schools Accordingly the young man
was sent to the Miami university, where,
although the expenses as compared with
the expenses Of college students Of the
present day at some of our large institu-
tons Of learning were insignificant, the
young man found it hard TO make both
ends meet. There is q story that he was
anxious to become a member of the D.
K E. fraternity. which was by all odds
the SWEETEST among the students there.
HIS wish to join was fully reciprCcated
by those already members with one ex-
ception- This youn gster said nothing at
all about the matter. Accordingly
Brice's name was proposed, and to the
surprise of every one he was blackballed.
1t is a rule Of the D. K E. that one
blackball shall bar membership, and
ordinarily the presence of the prohibit
i've little pellet in the ballot box settled
the matter definitely, but in this case
it did not. Price was a general favorite
with his fellow students, and the eutire
society was ruiiled with wave Of indig-
nation. It was decided to find out who
had cast the blackball, and this WIS
not a hard matter, for every member
but one was outspoken in his express
sions Of surprise and anger over the turn
affairs had taken. The offender turned
ont to be a chap named Fisk, who,
when charged with casting the ball, ac-
Lnowledged that he had done so. He
said he had nothing against Brice per
sOnally excepting that the latter was q
poor young fellow and could not there
fore probably possess the instincts of a
gentleman. Fisk was thereupon inform
ed by an indignant, self organized com
fnittee that the question had narrowed
itself down to one Of preference between
him and Brice, and that If the latter
were again blackballed he (Fiskl would
surely be expelled Then another cleo
ton was held, and Brice was triurn-
phantly admitted.
The Junior Senator From New Jersey
It has not often occurred in the his
tory of the United States senate that
the newly elected mem bers of that body
have been SO prominent as they have
during the past summer One of those
who have come most decidedly TO the
front is James Smith, Jr.. the Junior
senator from New Jersey Mr.. Smith
IS a large man, with a calm but twin
king eye and a smile that is sure to i'm
press one who meets him with the no
ton that the senator has in his posses
sion large fund Of good humor and a
we'll defined and not altogether mis-
placed confidence in himself
One of 1Ir- Smiths strongest points
is lis almost never falling suavity and
his power to impress the man with
whom he is talking with q confidence

PLATFORMS

PLATFORMS AND CANDIDATES.
Ex-senator Reagan Of Texas, declined
to allow his name TO 60 before the recent
Democratic state convention as a candi-
date Tor the governship bee 1se the
platform did not declare for the free
coinage OF silver at the 10 to 1 ratio. The
Iree coinage resolution was defeated by
a very narrow margin, but there we're too
many federal Office holders in the con
vention and the undoubted viii or the
Democrats Of Texas was Overridden.
It is not a common thing in these days
for man to decline nomination On ac-
count Of anything that may or may not
be in his party's platform. especially
when a nomination is equivalent to an
election a. is the case with the ID smo-
cratic nominees il Texas Senator Mar
tin il 1882 declined q nomination for
governJr Of Kansas after 1t had been
rendered him unanimously, because the
platform was not to his liking and
possibly thereby missed being governor,
though it is improbable that any Demo
Graz could have been elected except Geo.
W. Click.
In 1890, when Jerry Simpson was nom
mated for Congressman from the "big
Seventh" the platform failed TO meet his
approval. but h did not decline TO make
the race; he made the convention
change it. The course pursued by Presi-
dent Cleveland in 1892 q ffered from al
of these. He accepted the nomination
