Says the New York Observer: "The
poor we have always with us-and the
lazy. To discriminate between them
is somewhat of task. In some cases
the wood-pile marks the division.
They go to the right or left according
to their disposition. Some of the
hungry so right to work, while by
others the opportunity to labor, and
so earn breakfast, is left severely
alone. If the newspapers are to be be-
lieved, and we see no reason for doubt-
ing their statements, then while in
Chicago the unemployed number tens
of thousands it is hard to get men to
labor at fifteen cents an hour on canal

ness firm, ths hswer came that while
there was pl' of steady work in the
Wisconsin woods for willing men at
fair wages, the men were not to be
had. There was work, and there were
workers enough, but the men were shy
and refused to be introduced.

"Why, mamma" whispered tall,
red-cheeked young woman, in a seal

eyeglass and big diamonds in her ears.

Isola's eyes brimmed over with tears
which it would have been "unbusi-

she had come, timid, inexperienced
orphan to New York, and naturally
her first idea was to go to her fathers
brother, Mr.. Pierson Garrick.
That gentleman, however, was not
at home--he generally contrived to be
out of the way when any embarrassing
circumstance occurred--and his wife
gave Isola to understand that it was
quite impossible to do anything for
her.

A Man With Three Legs.

OF late years have lost all trace ot
my old and oddly malformed friend,
George Leppert, whom l first met at
Tifin, Ohio, in 1884. George was r
Bavarian by birth, and came to this
country twelve years ago, settling ut
Baltimore, where he followed the trade
of a wood-carver Should you happen
to meet him on the street you would
notice nothing peculiar either in his
gait or general makeup, unless it was
that the right leg of his trousers was
something near twice the size of the
left, and too full to wrinkle besides,
This lopsided appearance was caused
by a remarkable malformation, Mr..
Leppert being the not over proud pos
SCISSOR of two right legs and one left ;
or, in other words, of three perfectly
formed lower limbs. | often remarked
that should nature, through some OF
her odd freaks, choose to increase my
normal supply of legs by fifty per
cent. would do my best to play the
$100-a-week fiddle in dime museum
before the setting of the sun on the
day following the addition of the ex-
ira member to my anatomy.
He often told me that when he was
a small boy in his Bavarian home he
had perfect use of all three of his legs,
but when saw him last in lSS7--the
extra member was slightly paralyzed,
probably the result of being bound to
its companion, an operation that was
necessary in order to get both into
one trousers leg. When / last heard

HINDoo IDEAS OF IMMORTALITY
DIR. HensoIdt's Lecture at the Academy of
Music Last Night.

MuSlc Last NlSht.
DR.. Hensoldt delivered decidedly inter
esting lecture last night at the Academy of
Music on Immortality in the light of Brah-
min philosophy" His discussion, while nomi-
nally and fully relating to the theory of rein
carnatIon, took wide range.
A great part of the lecture was devoted to
scheme of creation and ideas of a Godhead
with the doctrinal tenets on the same sub
jects OF Hindoos. He explained that life to
the Hindoo meant an everlasting present:
that the idea 10 him OF a time when he did
not exist was intolerable. That he regarded
this life as term of sorrow and suffering
and the life to come the only life; the only
true life. To the Hindoo mortality is q reality
not theory.
Perhaps the most interesting matter touched
upon by the lecturer was his demonstration
that the idea of Immortality is not found in
the Old Testament but appears in the New
Testament; that the theory of a Trinity is
only modification of the Hindoo Trinity,
Brahma, Vishnu and Seeva; that the birth of
God from Virgin is Hindoo theology and
that, In fine, there is practicallysnothi new
IN the Christian theology except what is
erroneus.
Dr.Hensoldt explained that with the Hindoos
mind is the only reality; that matter is a
creation OF the mind. They have no such
conception as personal God, but universal
Consciousness; that each Individual is a god,
the Panthestic idea and the true one.
Alter the lecture great many of the au-
dlence remained to ask DR.. Hensoldt ques-
uons suggested by his discussion.

Frank Aldr1ch's attorneys will ask hear

stated that in all there are fourteen notes
mentioned in the second indictment, and ten
of these are also in the first.

The Rev. DR.. Shippen instructed and enter
tanned his congregation last night at the
Church Of All Souls with discourse on the
religion Of Longfellow. The subject matter
was introduced by q sketch OF the poets life.
DR.. Shippen drew very largely upon the
memoirs OF the poet by Samuel Longfellow,
and on his letters and journals, in which the
speaker naturally sought Longfelow s
thoughts and private opinions. He com
mented also on the intimate social and lit
erary relations between Longfellow and G..
W. Green Charles Sumner, AgPssiz Whittier,
James Russell Lowell, and Holmes. As 10 the
religious belief OF Longiellow, DR.. Shipper
said:
1T was in the doctrines of the early Unita-
rians that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was
nurtured, and there is no reason to suppose
that he ever found them insufficient or ever
departed from them. To this his writings
bear ample testimony His nature was de-
yout. his ideas OF the future life cheerful.
He did not care to talk much on theological
points. but he believed in the supremacy oi
God In the world. in the universe.
"His yeligion is not to be reported by spe
cial quotations from his works as readily as II
can be done from the works OF Holmes. 1t /;
rather from the atmosphere of faith, hope
and charity, which permoates his poetry, that
we derive his religion. 1t has been said Of
him that he believed in the gospel of gooC

DIR. Easton, OF the Eastern Presbyterian
Church, preached sermon about "The
American newspaper" last evening, selecting
as his text Zachariah v:2-"What seest thou?
And answered flying roll. J."
"The prophet" said DR.. Easton, sis shown
in vision message from God. 1t contained
a revelation of divine anger against sin and
wrong-doing, and made an expose OF all that
related to human character. 1t was mes
sage OF great breadth n extent 1t was eX-
panded and of extraordinary size.
Reckoning the cubit at a foot and one
half it was ten yards in length and five in
width. II was flying, to denote its universal
applicability, covering the whole earth.
Il think 1t may be fairly and usefully en-
ployed to exhibit the American newspaper.
On this roll was a full catalogue OF the peo-
pie, and most Of them were put under two
heads. stealing,and swearing. the former TO
include sins against God. 1t was ten yards
long, just about the size of some enterprising
daily. 1t covered the whole earth. and so the
whole globe is laid down at your feet in the
morning newspaper. Its rapid Hight slgnl-
ties the swiftness with which intelligence
from all parts of the globe is communicated.
Inc modern newspaper is the uylnB ron ol
Zachariah."
DR.. Easton's theme was 1.-The Church in its
relations to secular powers" and in this line
he said: The book of Revelation speaks OF
"a tree whose leaves are for the healing of the
nations and also OF an angel flying through
the heavens 10 preach the everlasting Gospel.
"'While some newspapers are bad, there are
others which may not inaptly be repre-
sentented by this tree and this angel. Their
leaves bring blessings and their flight Is that
of n messenger of good tidings TO men"
'The Church must distinguish things that
differ-must earnestly condemn the bad and
with equal heartiness commend the good. The
Church must rightly emphasize the import
ance of the newspaper in the progress OF the
race and in the triumph Of the Kingdom OF
God"
Speaking OF the Sunday newspapers, he
said: 1T is here; that you know. 1t has come
to stay; that you may not believe. But it has
come to stay unless abolished by legislation.
do not favor it because believe it is unnec-
essary, but if you ask me if / takeit, answer
yes. The world wouli lose not hing If the
Sunday paper were abolished.
He spoke OF the pains taken by the secular
press TO publish the proceedings of religious
bodies, and paid a compliment upon the ac-
curacy of the reports; spoke of the publica-
ticn OF the weekly sermons and believed it to
be power for great good, and expressed his
gratitude for the aid il gave the cause, saying
the church should even pray that the press
might become a sanctiied agent for the dis
semination of divine truth.

UNCLE SANS COAL BILLS.
What 1t Costs to Furnish Fuel for His Big
War Vessels.

According to Commodore Chadwick. chief
of the Bureau of Naval Equipment, the coal
bills of the Navy are steadily increasing owing
TO the greater consumption of coal by modern
high powered vessels. The annual report of
the bureau shows that there will be a de-
ficiency Of $4,000 in the appropriation for
equipment owing to the fact that $40, ,291
more was expended for coal in the past year
than IN the year previous.
The report shows that during the year a
great Improvement has been made in night
signals. anew boat compass has been adopted.
and aluminium has been successfully sub
stituted for bronze in pinnacle fittings.
Under the head of the Naval Observatory
attention is called to the fact that unless the
corps of professors of mathematics is reor-
ganized the observatory will in the near
future have but one astronomer available for
duty
