How Two Girls Settled a Dispute About
Paving Car Fare.

The little byplay between two women
in the street car, to see who shall mott
pay the fares, while both are begging TO
be allowed 70 do it, is always interesting,
although it has been noticed ever since
horse railroads were discovered. A con-
ductor on a Broad street trolley car says
that he actually saw an exception TO the
usual proceeding last week. Two girls got
on at Taylor street and both opened their
purses and began pretending 10 look for

No, let me this time Emily. You
know you paid last time we went down
town together, and / am sure 1 have just
got the change"
They seemed to have difficulty in fishing
out the money, and meanwhile the con-
ductor entered the car and stood in front
OF them. Both got out their dimes az the
same instant, and they looked into each
others eyes.

WASHINGTON, Sept. ga split in the
Knights of PyJhiss is said, by members of

perhaps probable outcome of the meeting
now in progress here. Already the COM
mittee designated TO consider the question
of the mem bership of liquor dealers has de-
cided to report against the further admis-
sion of this class, and now it is understood
that the committee in charge OF the matter
known as the German question:" that is
thequestion of permitting lodges to perform
the ritual in that language has decided to
make an ironclad report for the use of the
English language only.
It is said by Supreme Chancellor Black
well to be the Intention of Pythians to
make their order patriotic one, and to
blend all its influences to the support of
the institutions of our government. The
constituents of the German lodges say that
the perpetuationofa foreign language in the
United States will not tend to the support
of the institutions of this government, and
think that foreign members in this coun-
try should be Ameeicanized.
The German lodges have been open in
the avowal of their determination to Sc
cede and conduct their branch order on
their own responsibility in case the con-
test went against them. It is understood
that a committee report will be made
against the recognition Of the Pythiau
sisters as an order.
The morning session of the Supreme
lodge today was devoted to the consider
alton of the proposed new constitution.

STILL WANT TO ANNEX.
Hawaii Would Like to be Part Of the
United States.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Rear Admiral
Walker, who is in the city for the purpose
of laying before the navy department the
information acquired by him in his recent
trip to the Hawaiian Islands, speaking to-
day of the affairs in the Islands said:
Everything was quiet at Honolulu
when l left there in August, and there was
no prospect or an outbreak.
1.-The new republican government seems
to be firmly ests blisbed and thoroughly
competent to take care of itself, unless
there is Interference from the outside.
Pear River harbor, where it is proposed to
establish u nited states coaling station,
is a beauty. 1t is one of the finest harbors in
the world, and is large enough to accom-
date all the ships afioat. All it wants is
the removal of a little bar at its entrance
This bar Is all sand and can be easily taken
out in a reasonable time and at small eX-
pense. 1t was thoroughly surveyed while
/ was there by Max Wood, one of our Off
GERS"
= How about annexation ~
''Oh. L can't say anything on that sub
ject except the sentiment among the peo-
pie for annexation to the United States
still appears very strong. BY the way,
honolulu is most charming place and
had a most delightful experience there !"
"Will l take charge of the naval acad-
envy? Well, that depends altogether on
circumstances. l will have to remain in
Washington for some time for confer
ence with the secretaries OF state and
navy in regard to Hawaiian affairs Thy
NAV want more information than l have
given them in my reports. How long that
will keep me here do not know, bat the
probabilities are shall not go to Annopo-
lis much before the beginning of the next

INDIAN P,lGRIMAGES.
| The Manner of Travel and Procuring Pro.
visions-Ths Beggars' Paradise.

These Indian pilgrimages are mostly
undertaken in the cold weather, because
the river is then shallow and slow, and
nobody gets drowned unless he is more
than usually perverse. Also whea the river
is low great tracts of sand are dry on Ell
ther side of the water, and on these the
pilgrims can conveniently camp. Accord
ingly, each year, about the middle of De-
cember, there flock to Birman fully 200, =
600 persons.
These are not all pilgrims pure and
simple, because even the most religious
pilgrim requires to be fed and clothed.
He needs all manner of tinsel trumperies
to deck his children, his wife and his gods.
Besides, he must have plenty of sweet
meats, dreadful mawkish compounds OF
butter and milk and sugar, favored with
spice-he needs these to make merry with,
when all the additions are happily over
for the year and every god has been prop
erly propitiated. Further he wants no
end of oil TO keep his little lamps (reli-
gious and domestic) going.
1t is curious to note how kerosene and
matches are used in the remotest Indian
village. In order TO provide him with
these and several hundred other things
which 1 cannot now remember, a perfect
army of grainsellers leather workers, wa
ter carriers, jewellers, and, in short, meE
of every trade that has the remotest hope
of making anything out of the pilgrims,
all crowd TO the spot. Round the edge of
this vast heterogeneous mass there hangs
a long fringe Of beggars. AT the head OF
this fringe are Brahmans. These boldly
claim and obtain charity as right. Next
come those who beg merely because that
is easier than working and less danger
Gus than stealing. After them come a
host of decrepit, blind, diseased and de-
formed folk whose dreadful sores and pit
liable malformations earn them as good or
a better living than the ablebodied and
industrious are often able TO obtain.
Last of all come the lepers, and these
indeed are miserable objects. Often have
j dropped a coin into a hand that was a
mere stump, all the fingers having de-
caycd away. All these are willingly fed
and supported by the pilgrims and trad
ers for India is a country where charity
Is carried far over the verge Of imbecility.
To give 10 the lazy loafer or the fat Brah-
man is quite as meritorious as to help the
sick but industrious artisan or TO add a
triding comfort 10 cheer the wretched lep-
or or helpless cripple. No questions are
asked. You need bat squat by the roadside
in some frequented place, spread filthy
cloth in front of you and hold out hand

life. Charity is not given 70 relieve dis
