GOODWIN'S LATEST.
1t Is About Good Old Deacon and His
Umbrella,

1t Is About Good Old Deacon and Ills
Umbrella.
Nat Goodman Is telling his latest
story in ST. Louis. 1t is about the
deacon OF church ia n small West
ern town. The parishioners had not
been satisfied With their pastor and
they decided TO call in new one.
He was bright young man and one
Sunday he came TO preach trial
sermon. The little church was filled,
as all were anxious TO pass Judgment.
The deacon IN question, who was very
deaf sat in one OF the front pews and
held his hand back OF his left ear in
order to catch every dropping from
the sanctuary.
The young preacher made an ex-
cellent impression. He was earnest
and elo iuent lie said that he had
spent week in the town looking
about him and he had discovered
some faults which needed reforming
Il he was called 20 the pulpit he said
he would eudeavor To bring about
these reforms, with the help OF the
Lord and MS pariShioners. He had
learned by observation that the town
contained three saloons and two
gambling houses and these he should
endeavor to close up.
AS he mentioned the two gambling
houses the attentive deaf deacon
in the front pew removed his lett
hand from his ear long enough to
snap his hngers sharply and then he
resumed his listening attitude.
After the sermon the people gath
cred in the front of the church TO
exchange views on the new preacher,
and they were uniformly favorable to
him. A deacon with long, gray
bea,d d hunted up the deaf deacon and
asked him how he liked the mau.
"t'ust rate, fust rate" he shouted,
as deaf men will. "A tine, peart
young feller He'll do, l guess"
"But say. Deacon Smith," said the
long bearded deacon, when he men
toned the two gambling houses l
noticed that YOU snapped your
fngerS viii you tell me what you
d d that forg'
Certainly responded the deaf
man, IL know where left that um-
brella OF mine"

1t is estimated that the loss of prop
erty by fire last year throughout the
whole country reached the enormous
sum of $l67, 200, 900. This is not sim
ply guesswork, declares the New York
Tribune, but the result of careful es-
Inmates made by n committee of the
National Board of Fire Underwriters,
and shows an increase of SIG, 900, 900
over the total given for 1892. 1t is
not surprising that the fire insurance
companies are alarmed at the losses
they are compelled to sustain, and
recognize the need of enforcing
more uniform application of rules and
methods.

FINEST PARKS IN THE WORLD.
Australia Can Boast OF Finer Public Gar
dens Than Any Other Country.

Australia Can Boast OF Finer Public Gar
dens Than Any Other Country.
In no country in the world do peo-
pie pay SO much attention TO their
city aud country parks as do the Aus
tralians, says writer in the Cleve-
land Plain Ecaler. AS none of the
large cities is ever Wis ted by frost or
snow all have great advantages over
the cities OF our orthern States or
OF northern Europe Adelaide, the
carital OF South Australia. has Il
park w tn botanical gardens which
for beauty Of situation, arrangement
OF grounds and variety OF trees and
plants is unequaled in any C ty in the
world, unless it might be by those Of
Melbourne, sydney, and Brisbane in
the same country. These Australian
parks are not simply ornamental,
they are useful; the people use them,
and, as they are free TO all, their one
Objectionable feature is the fact that
they are made the resort OF sun
downerS," or tramps, and OF other
dsreputable characters. One OF the
largest OF these city parks, and IL
promises in time to be the most beau
tiful, is Centennial Park of Sydney,
New South Wales This parks was
purchased and surveyed four years
ago. to commemorate the one hun
dredth anniversary OF the founding
Of Sydney, which, at the beginning,
was a penal colony of England. The
nun icipalty has gone TO great eX-
pense TO adorn the parks with scores
OF replicas Of famous statues or the
statues OF famous men from all parts
OF the world.
1t is very pleasant to an American,
living through this lark, to see,
near the entrance, Il huge marble
statue of Abraham Lincoln, which is
fac simile OF the one in UniCn
Square. New York City One OF
Washington is also TO be seen. A
little further on there is a heroic
figure OF Garfield, looking toward
that OF Engand's grand old man,
Gladstone, across the way There
are also busts OF Longfellow, Bryant,
and Sheridan, as well As life size
copies OF many of the Rogers groups,
such as THE Wounded Scout, THE
Advance Picket Guard" and Last
Cartridge" But il is not only
America that is hUnored in this way,
In driving through the Centennial
Park one sees Napoleon and Bis
marck. the Duke OF Wellington,
General Havelock and King John OF
Abyssinia. The Australians have
not only the parks in their large
cities, but every town aud village has
its pleasure grounds, and race track
is TO be found in every settlement
All the colonies also have large areas
like our own Yellowstone and 70
semitic set apart as national parks.
The wisdom OF this course will be-
come evident as the population in
creas,s and land becomes more val
uable

\ Broker who Took . Profitable Little
Trip to PhilAdelphis.

4
The ways Of the New York broker
are artful ana his eyes are always
open for an opportunity. When he
has a chance 10 make a good bar
gain" he doesn't let grass grow un-
der his feet.
The bead OF steamship company
recently said To a Wall street broker:
II Wish / could gee certain pier
privilege; it's so and sn"
well, why don't you go and get
it," asked the broker
~ can't seem TO get hold OF it,"
'Ill give you II, 900 a mouth for a
year"
The broker sa d that he would sec
what he could do. The pier was
owned by Philadelphia man, and
the next afternoon the man from
Wall street walked into the ohce Of
the pier-owner in Philadelphia.
II want you TO buy some bonds"
he said.
Don't want to buy anything" was
the answer Ppm selling"
But these are gilt-edged; you
never saw anything better"
Cant buy anything. Haven't any
money. Got lot OF things on my
hands that aren't paving a cent
These are hard times, tell you. I've
got stores that 1 can't rent, bills
that / can't collect. Why, there's a
peer over in YOUR city that isn't doing
what 1T ought to do for ne. A priv
ilege there is just begging for some
one TO take IL"
WELL" said the broker, l want to
sell you some OF these bonds. We
might make 'dicker' on the peer l
guess could get rid Of 1t. viii you
take the bonds of my hands If l take
the pier privilege OF yours"
81 don't want tonds."
Wouldn't you take them to get
rid OF your pier?"
mo; l am carrying all l want"
"Well, maybe I'll take your pier
anyway. How much do you want for
it,"
Three thousand dollars a year"
The broker thought he might as
well take the privilege, even if they
couldn't strike bargain on bonds
The next morning he went to the
New York steamship man.
II can get that pier for you for a
year" he said.
'At what terms?"
"Your own figures-S12, 900 year"
The privilege was relet right then
and there, the contract signed, and
the broker was just $4,000 better off.
A short time after this the steam
ship man met the broker again.
Say, "" he said, "te me
now, just for fun, what did you make
out OF that pier business"
(arfare," answered the broker,
unblushingly.
"Carefare:"
Eyes, carfare-around the world"

A benevolent agency organized in
New York last winter that excited
general interest was the loan society
originating with Rev. DIR. Greer, of
st. Bartholomew Church. Promi-
nent citizens backed it up and made it
n success. In all III loans have been
made. In no case was there default
in payment. This sort of philan-
trophy has now statutory recognition
in New York State. Governor Flower
has signed q bill incorporating the
Provident Loan Society, capitalized at
$3.50, 900, and to charge rate of in
terest not to exceed twelve per cent.
Pawnbrokers charge thirty-six for
similar service. If any profits accrue
from the business they will be usel
for improvements and branch Offices.
The incorporating act provides eight
months shall be allowed for redemp-
tion after the expiration OF the legal
