KEEPING UP APPEARANCE.

1t is really wonderful what num-
of people in this last decade of the
nineteenth century are employed in
keeping up appearances, and moth
ing else.
This is their sole occupation, their
one all absorbing thought.
For this they plan and scheme
and struggle and toll, through anx-
ious days and waketul nights, from
weeks end to weeks end.
For this grow deeper and deeper
into debt, incurring liabilities which
in all human probability they can
never meet and laying up for them
selves an ever increasing load of
trouble for the years to come which
must ultimately crush them to the
earth.
Strange indeed, is the charm that
many people-not so far as we can
Judge from their conversation, lack.
ing in the first principles of honesty
and honor seem to find in playing
this dangerous game.
What satisfaction can they feel in
it. It puzzles us to imagine.
For after all their efforts have no
good or worthy object; there is
nothing in the end to justify the
means.
For keeping up appearances, look
at which way we will, is not, and
never can be, good or elevatlng
occupation to engross all a reasonable
human beings time and attention.
Life was surely given US for better
things than that. To keep up the
appearance of something that if it
ever existed. has long ceased to do
so; to strive to reanimate a dead
past, and throw dust in the eyes of
the world by making their lives one
continual lie-such is the lofty object
that many very respectable people
have at heart; such is the grand
purpose that fills many presumably
intelligent soul.
Oh, the pity of it! All and the
puerility, too 1t is a difficult matter
indeed to respect a human nature
capable OF such things as these.

THE UNEMPLOYED.
The Number Greater Now Than for Twenty
Years.

Any attempt at statistical estimate
of the number of wage earners now
the victims of enforced idleness through
out the United States would rest upon
data too insufficient to give Ii much
value. There has not been known for
at least twenty years a time when so
high proportion of workingmen were
cut off their regular means of support,
with so little prospect OF an early
return to their places. Fortunately. a
hundred thousand men temporarily out
of work in an American city does not
mean hundred thousand applicants
for charity or subjects for relief mea-
sures. The greater proportion of the
out of works are able unaided to ride
over period. Many of them have
good accounts at the saving banks ;
many others have friends and relatives
to help them many more have lenient
landlords aud credit with the grocer,
and many enjoy good understanding
with their employer, whose shop or
mill, it is confidently believed, must be
running again before many weeks.
The situation, therefore, is not one
which justifies pessimism, socialtlc raw.

else except prompt, sensible and
we'll planned efforts to prevent actua
suffering and to assist in the read

moment out of joint. With all tht
work that charitable societies and relic
agencies must do, it will still remain
true that by far the largest part OF th'
task of preventing or alleviating distres:
must be performed in hand to hant

to accompany him.
The morning light was fast dispelIing
the shadows of night and storm, and
we had no difficulty in making our way

My companion, as if fearing 1 would
attempt to escape, had not taken his

house.
There is good place to test our work

water formed in depression of the
earth bv the late storm.
Without waiting for my reply, he
threw some of the potassium and
powder into the water. The result was
startling to me, though | had antici-
pated the consequence.
The report was deafening and the
flames seemed to leap to the sky, i'll.
uminating the night scene with a
CHASTITY light. But as startling as was
the light of the burning water, the ap-
pearance of my companion, who had
seemed to be transformed into
demon, was more terrible.

LOOK OUT f0R BULLETS
Some Lady Millers Want Recog-
milton and No Tobacco
Smoke.

Discussions have arisen in the Lady
Miller Rifle Club of Hoboken that threat
en- the ultimate disruption of the club.
Its membership comprises twenty-five of
Hoboken's fairest markswomen. The
club has been organized two years. 1t is
an auxiliary OF the Miller Rifle Club,
named after and founded by a promi-
nent Hobokener. Seven member Of the
Lady Millers are dissatisfied with the
management of their club. They object,
too, to the audacity of the Miller Club
members in entering their rooms dur
ing shooting practice and filling the at
mosphere with cigar smoke. They have
denounced the men for this, but have
not been sustained by their sisters, They
also assert that a Clique, headed by the
President, Mrs. A. NJ. Stadler, has dared
to dictate to them. They do not make
any very serious charges in this direc-
tion, but declare, it is. unpleasant to be
hindered at every suggestion and move
by a Clique. Whatever Mrs. Stadler
wants, they say, her band votes for.
Whatever the other seven want, they
don't get.
When the club was organized no con-
stitution n bylaws were made, and
the seven have kicked persistenly against
the omission. The sole management of
the club was vested in the President.
Whatever she said settled the business,
OI4ICSS LIZ l1oiS Aiob 1oi A1i -.
Stadler made sure of the uninterrupted
exercise of her p~rerogatives when elect
ed in winning the good graces of the
majority of the society.
Mrs. Stadler and her adherents ran a
picnic a year ago and came out 81 be-
hind the game, the seven say. This
year the seven, somehow or other, got
control of the picnic and made money.
They use that as a conclusive argu-
ment in justification of their charges
of improper management. If the seven
can't haVe recognition they will I'VE
nothing, they say, and they are conf
lem that if they secede and form an
other club the Lady Millers will go to
smash.
AS a substantial evidence of their de-
termination to either do or die, the
seven ~disgruntled members called upon
the proprietor of Hudson Hall, Hudson
street, between First and Second
streets, and made inquiries concerning
the engagement of his rifle range and
a club room. They are ready to step
out if the Lady Millers win not accept
their ultimatum, that is, to give them
recognition. They declare they must
have a constitution and bylaws, a
voice in the proceedings, and no men
to smoke during business hours in their
rooms. They have received a PROPOSE
ton from the Our Own Rife Club to
Join that society as an auxiliary n
may accept. Among the seven are the
proprietress of a fashionable boarding
house and the wife of a prominent
official in Hoboken.

STOPPED BY A REVOLVER.
James Slavin Robs a Trolley Car
Conductor.

A pistol shot startled the people OH
Monticello avenue about seven o'clock
last evening, and the sight of Patrolman
Tent, revolver in hand, pursuing a
man down Belmont avenue, caused in
tense excitement. Tent caught the fugi
tive at Crescent venue and Aston place,
and as HI waited there for the patrol
wagon he and his prisoner were the
centre of attraction for a curious crowd.
At the C~ommunipaw station the prisoner
said HI was James Slaven, twenty-five
years old of No. 403 Grand street.
Slaven boarded a Monticello avenue
car on Grand street at seven O'Clock.
and received ~forty-fve cents in change.
Another passenger standing near Slaven
also handed the conductor, William
McCauley, of No. 425 Henderson street,
a half dollar. The conductor handed out
the second ans change, and Slaven
put out his hand for it. As the rear
platform was crowded, the conductor
was not sure whose change it was, n
asked Slaven if it was his.
Slaven answered yes" and received
the money. He Immediately stepped off
the car and ran down Belmont avenue.
ed he was robbed. Patrolman Tent of
the Fourth precinct was q passenger on
the car. Not knowing how the robbery
occurred, and thinking the conductors
in pursuit. He shouted to Slaven to
halt, but the fugitive ran all the faster.
Tent drew his revolver and fired a shot
in the air which soon made Slaven stand
When asked by the officer what he did
with the money, Slaven answered that
he had thrown it away.
The prisoner was arraigned before
Justice Douglass this morning and adj
mitted aking the money. He pro-
cured bail and was emande until to-
morrow morning.
