SIOUX FAILS, S. D.. March g.
Mother Superior SGtnislaus of the local
parochial school has just returned from
a visit to Cardinal Gibbons at Baltimore
and Mgr. Sa;olli at Washington relative
to the denunciation by Father Nolan,
the Catholic priest here OF the school
and sisters who conduct it. Father
Nolan's charges were spoken from the
altar, and are that the sisters are only
parading in Ursaline u costumes,
that they are not nuns at all, but street
walkers. He forbade his parishioners
from sending their children to the
school. Mother Stanisl aus brings a per.
emptory order from Mgr. Satolli com
handing Father Nolan to retract his
charges in as public a manner as he
made them and to 1einstate the schoo
and support it. Father Nolan, who i!
backed by nearly the entire parish, re
fuses to retract and the case will b,
settled in Satolli's court.

THE GARDEN OF DREAMS.

There's q beautiful Garden of Dreams,
That one finds as the daylight dies,
Where the golden sunlight CLEANS
Ger sapphire-tinted skies,
Where the mignonette sedately spreads
It's vaguely sweet perfume,
And stately lilies rear their heads
And chaste white roses bloom.
o. the air is soft, and the birds up aloft
Seem to carol a ringing refrain
That tells their delight that the EARTH for
tonight
With its woes Is forgotten again.
And the angels are smiling a goodbye to
grief
In the mystical silence, 1t seems,
And n soul that was weary has found lis
relief
In this beautiful Garden of Dreams.
There's beautiful Garden of Dreams,
That one finds as the eyelids close,
Where, amid the glad sunbeams,
A shadow comes and goes
And a shadowy face, as purely fair
As moonbeams in the South,
With FURNISHED coils of ebon hair
And cleft rose for the mouth.
It's face of the past that may only, al
last,
In this Garden of Dreamland exist,
And must vanish from sight with the
death of the night
In the mornings contemplate mist.
But fair Is the dawn In the suns purple
ways,
And yet, to my thinking, II seems
would not exchange a whole lifetime Of
days
For my beautiful Garden of Dreams.

The society press agent is the latest
sinecure in Journalism. Certain men,
bers of New York's 400, it is said, now
employ regular editors to look after
their affairs that appear in print, very
much after the manner of the adVer-
tising agent of a travelling circus or
theatrical company. Printed slips an
nouncing social events are prepared FOR
the different newspapers, and the de-
tails of balls, receptions, teas, etc, are
also written up by the expert, who gives
proper prominence to the guests ac-
cording to their standing upon the So
cial ladder. The system works to per-
fection. Society people who employ
press agents no longer dread the horsey
and color-blind reporter who distorts
the shades of fabrics and occasionally
applies the vernacular of the race track
in describing the toilets of the bellies of
the season. Everything for print is
prepared with a view to harmonious
blending of shape, color and rhetoric
The social leader is, therefore, happy
and the press agent has an easy and
lucrative position.

POLITICAL POINTS.

The Penrose boom is now clearly "out
of the woods"
The Pennsylvania Democracy will, 1t is
believed, name A. j. Cassatt for mayor Of
Philadelphia.
A new candidate for factory inspector
has arisen in the person of Major M. A.
Gherst, of Lebanon, a warm personal
friend of General Hastings.
1t is now claimed, upon not altogether
certain authority, that State Chairman
Gilkeson, and not eX-Treasurer Morri-
son, will be superintendent of banking.
Representative N. Lawrence, Of Wash
ington, the nestor of the incoming house,
announces that he will again introduce
the congressional re-apportlonment bill
which failed in 1891; and is confident of its
passage.
1t has come tr'fs sooner than we had
expected; but it has come What has
come? Why, the rumor that Hastings
and Quay have had "break," of course
This rumor was inevitable, sooner or
later. 1t always pursues men who are
elected to office i'm Pennsylvania. Still,
it is dollars to doughnuts that neither
Quay nor Hastings is losing a wink Of
sleep.

The States Insane Wards.

1t is a sad story this tale that comes
upon the heels of the recent meeting of
the state board of charity; a story of
misfortune, privation and loss which
is not easily comprehended in it's ut
most significance. We are told that
all of the state lunatic hospitals are
overcrowded that all of the peniten-
tiardes are more than supplied with
inmates and that the reformatores can
scarcely keep pace with their growing
patronage. In one year. the number of
insane persons in the state has in
creased 500. The increase in the num-
ber of almshouse commitments and
petty crimes is almost beyond compu-
tation. The latest recommendations of
the board call for 100000 for an ep-
leptic hospital; $50O,OOO for an add-
tional hospital for the chronic insane;
and 100000 for an asylum for the
criminal insane-altogether $1,000 900,
in two years, just to meet the growing
needs of the state with reference to its
imbecile charges.
Scarcely less significant is the in
formation that the charities board de-
sires, yet almost fears to recommend
the giving of useful work to the states
committed chronic insane; that. clearly
perceiving the humanity as well as the
economy of system Of moderate en-
ployment for maniacs who have ra-
tlonal periods, there is hesitancy in
proposing this reform lest objection
should arise from jealous associations
of organized free labor. The problem
presents itself anew whether those in
side our asylums and jails shall be con-
demned to the havoc and agony of en-
forced idleness or whether, by employ

CAUGHT ON THE FLY.

1t is an unwelcome fact, but true,
that many manufacturers from abroad
would locate in Scranton but for the
belief that the city is completely under
mined and that large industrial plants
are in constant danger of disappearing
into yawning chasms. Through cor
respondence and conversation with
strangers the secretary of the board
of trade comes in contact with this
prevailing impression, and where this
fear has been given as a reason for
not locating in Scranton no amount
of argument will convince them of the
stability of the surface.
An illustration of fears of prospective
manufacturers was shown a few weeks
ago by the Sterling SILK company,
which was ready to sign papers for the
transfer Of piece of West Side land
on which a silk mill was to be erected.
Early one morning they read in the
newspapers reports of a cavern of
large area on the West Side Without
waiting to investigate the meaning of
the word 'cave-in" or to inquire into
the possibility of its affecting their
prospective property they made imme-
diate preparations for departure. They
visited Secretary Atherton at his office,
announced that they were unwilling
to take any chances on losing their
plant after its erection, and called off
all negotiations.
The gentlemen were guaranteed all
their travelling, hotel and other eX-
enses if after a days investigation
they would find one manufacturing
plant in the city which had been
thrown one-siXteenth of an inch from
the shaft line by mine cave. One of
the gentlemen said II the plant was
built he would not be surprised some
morning to find the building down in a
with the machinery running. They
could not be swerved from their pur-
pose to abandon the idea of building in
the city.
The winter season of basket ball will

Base ball cranks in our midst were
happy over the announcements yester-
day that Eastern league affairs had
been settled and that Scranton would
remain in the circuit. There are prob
ably things in life more elevatlng than
base ball, but if Scranton is to be in
the field this season, it is to be hoped
that respectable showing will be
made on the diamond. The experience
Of the club in the Eastern league at
the close Of the past season was any
thing but edifying to admirers of the
great national game, Scranton can
not afford to have anything but a
first class article, even in base ball.
