HE WAS ALL RIGHT.
He wouldn't Die For Her, For He Had a
Better Thing.


voung lady who was the recipient
Of attention from two young men equally
eligible in point of good looks, social po-
fition and financial solidity, and enter
famed similar feelings for both, was in a
cuandary as to which to choose should
tbev propose. A friend to whom she
confded her difficulty suggested that
she should put both to some test to prove
the strength Of their affection. She took
the advice, and to the first who avowed
his affection said;
You tell me that you love me. How
do l know that you are sincere? What
would you do to show your lover"
Anything" replied the ardent lover,
who had spice of romance in his dispo-
sitlon Anything. would go to the
worlds end for you. would endure
any suffering for you. Iwould die for
YOU if necessary"
Such ardent prOtestations brought the
bushes to her cheeks and thrill of hap
piness to her, and she thought that cer-
tainly no one could love her more fond
ly than he did. She asked, however, for
a little delay before giving him an an
swer to his suit.
Meanwhile the other proposed, and she
questioned him in like manner.
"Well," said he, "Tll tell you what
would do to show you my love. If you
marry me, you shall have good clothes
to wear. will see that you are always
the owner of handsome sealskin jacket,
and that your hats or bonnets are always
in fashion, and l will be a faithful and
loving husband to you"
But wouldn't you go to the worlds
end for me or any of that sort of thing,
you know" she asked as she toyed with
his coat buttons.
Il don't want to go to the worlds end"
he replied. 1--WE got nice paying busi-
ness here, and as for dying for you, I'd
rather live with you"
"Well," said she as visions of the seal
skin jacket and fashionable bonnets
flashed before her mind, II think you

EMPLOYMENT FOR DOGS.

There are 5000 dogs in the city of Provi-
dence according to the figures in the dog
department at City Hall.
On the whole they are noble lot of ami
mails and each one, i'm the opinion Of its
owner at least, is thoroughbred. But in
a strict economic sense they are not
nearly as useful as they might be.
For every one that may take prize at
bench show that will pay for its own
meats. bones and medicated crackers until
the next show or for every one that saves
drowning children and guards property.
there are hundreds who do nothing but
eat and snooze, bay at things and
keep people awake and make trouble
for the Board OF Aldermen by killing hens
the value OF which the city auditor must
look into, the committee on claims pass

industrial welfare of these four thousand
or over canine idlers that the semi weekly
"Sitting Hen" makes this suggestion in q
recent editorial:

wasted energy could be utilized without
hurting the feelings OF the Society for tho
Prevention OF Cruelty to Children II dogs

THE NEW CONVENT.
Bishop Harkins Officiates at the Lay
ing OF Its Corner Stone Sunday.

The Right Reverend Bishop Harkins
| appeared before his people YESTERDAY
, afternoon for the first time since the re-
turn from his pilgrimage TO Rome. The
occasion was the laying of the corner stone
| for the new convent OF the Sisters OF
Mercy on Claverlck street and the Bishop
performed the ceremony in the presence
OF several thousands of people.
The exercises commenced at a little
after O'Clock in the afternoon, when the
various Catholic societies formed on Ex-
change place for the parade 10 the convent
site. The chief marshal was John J..
Devenish, and his chief of staff was Fred
Williams. Hedly's National Band led the
first division. The societies in line were
Seven different branches OF the Catho-
lie Knights of America, five councils
of the Knights of Columbus, and
the Holy Name Society. After the
parade those who had participated were
assigned to the seats of the temporary
platforms that had been erected for the
services, and with them there were a
great many local and out of town clergy
men. The exercises opened with
singing by the Cathedral choir
and then the sermon OF the
day was preached by Rev Francis Ryan.
of Toronto. Immediately after his SER
mon the preacher made an appeal for
money to carry on the work and collec-
tion was taken up.
The ri. Rev. Bishop Harkins, attended
by Vicar General Doran, Rev. p. III. McGee
and the altar boys left the platform
and laid the foundation stone. On the
face of the stone in circle is the form of
Maltese cross, with the letters A. ID. on
each side. A flexible lead box was placed
inside the stone, which contained parch-
ment, upon which are the names, writ
ten in indeliDle ink, of Grover Cleve-
land, President of the United States;

| knowing, then there is sure to be an in
tollectual wrestling match. Platt despises
the commonplace, the trivial, unless 1t be
funny, but he is fond of the unusual
either in intellect or in temperament; q
quaint man delights him.
1t was nearly three years after Mr.. Platt
retired from the Senate before the Repub-
licans understood that he was not politi-
cally dead, had not even been sleeping,
but had been only waiting. He came for
ward at a critical time as q leader in an
humble way, doing his share and willing
to do it in subordination. By 1856 he
again dominated q considerable influence
in the party, especially that COM
ing from the Southern tier. In
1888 he had pushed himself SO far to
the front that 1t was said OF him and of
Mr.. Depew, Senator Miller and Senator
Hiscock, that they were the Big Four {"
OF the Republican party. In 1891 he named
the candidate for Governor, beckoning to
more than 500 delegates in the State con-
vention, who obeyed his call and spoke
the name that was upon his lips, that of
Mr.. Fassctt. Mr.. Fassett was beaten that
year, not because he was Mr.. Platt's can
didate, but because any Republican would
have been beaten.
The country does not know, nor does
the Republican party, how superior to all
other individual effort of political leaders
in New York was that of Mr.. Platt In
1855. So far as 1t can be said that any one
man did 1t it must be said that Mr.. Platt
carried New York State for General Har-
rison. Quiet and self contained as he was
every moment In the whirl and fury of
that exciting canvass, he was neverthe-
less the pre-eminent, ever pressing, con-
stantly PERSONAL influence in the canvass.
During the past year while Mr.. Platt
has been occupied with three very great
business enterprises, he has also
given closer heed to the politics
OF the State possibly than any
other Republican in it. 1t was that
labor which taught him nearly a year ago
that Morton was the available candidate.
1t was subsequent work which made it
possible for him to appear in these later
days as the successful leader of that
Morton sentiment rather than the follower
OF it.
Mr.. Platt owes his successes to Unusual
understanding Of human nature, and to
his skill in playing upon its chords. He
owes 1t, Furthermore, to an extraordinary
and yet almost invisible industry, and he
owes 1t to faculty which causes him to
cling to friendship with grip which |
nothing can shake, and makes him true
as steel to those who are true to him.
