the insurance plan was again called
up and the majority Of the societies
reported that they were either not 10
favor of the project or hsd instructed
their delegates 10 express their wishes
on the SUD- -ct at the coming Diocesan
convention. An argument in favor of
the insurance plan W IS made by Maui
rice Walsh, of the " est Side. He said
the members could obtain their insur =
ance 10y such IA plan much cheaper than
in the regular insurance companies
and besides 1t would have q tendency
to increase the membership Of societies
and 10 the means of csmenting that
membership much closer than it is AT
present.
Charles II LAWN, Of Wilkes Barre,
also spoke IN the prof. ct. President
John II. Divine said that in his travels
among the societies in the union, he
had found an adverse sentiment TO the

We must have more of the sense of
beauty and aesthetic fitness entering into
our domestic civic and national life.
The present municipal officers of our
different American cities care but little
about it. The condition of our Ameri-
can streets was the occasion of the most
caustic comment from foreigners during
the Worlds fair period. Between ele-
CANT blocks of buildings, ON finely paved
streets, they saw oceans of mud, old
disoolored papers blowing about, piles
of garbage and store sweepings, and
crushed cats and other matter fostering
in the sun. How are we to get rid of
these things in our civic life? First, get
rid of them in your homes and school
rooms. Letters in the newspapers do not
prick the skin of the lazy, venal officials
whose duty it is to clean a city, but
who are only mindful to bring out the
hoe brigade just before elections semi
annually. You must go deeper for re-
form in these things. You must train
a new generation. The boys and girls in
your schools viii make up the new city
boards and mayor and street commits
sioners, You must train in them high
er sense of home and municipal patriot
ISM based ON a stronger love of fitness,
order and beauty This reform is COM
ing in home and school and city. l think
we shall see some Of it in our day

Great Race.

The following is from the Burlington
Hawkeye:
'"There are two questions that have
had a great run. 1t is a problem as to
which will come out ahead. The horse
which had the start is popularity known
as Mckinley Prices. All the necessa-
ries of life were to be increased in cost
to the people of the United States by the
Mckinley tariff. 1t has been running
since 1890 Whereabouts ON the track is
it now? The other horse is named Bet
ter Times 1t was entered in 1899 and
has been running over year. 1t was
backed by Cleveland and the Democratic
party, and a great many workingmen
staked their last dollar on the nag.
Great anxiety peryades the public to dis
cover what necessaries of life have been
increased in cost by the Mckinley tariff
and in what respect the times have been
improved by a Democratic administra-
ton. The race between these two horses
is still on. They are running neck and
neck, and the outcome is in painful
doubt :"
There is no doubt about the outcome
Mckinley Prices is thoroughbred,
by Labor, out of Capital. Better
Times is a missioner. He is Roarer,
by Fraud, out of Wind Bag. The race
will be finished in November, 1894,
when Mckinley Prices will be lead
ing out of sight, and the old Roarer's
Wind Bag will have exploded. He
won't be in it.

DEMOCRATIC Portrait.

''It takes a thief to catch a thief, "
and it takes a Democrat to faithfully
picture his own party. The New Haven
Register, which even in these days of
political uncertainty is, above suspicion,
Democratic, sketches the most lifelike
portrait of the southern Democrats i'll
congress that we have yet encountered.
They are, in truth, "men with a griev-
ance against all that part of the world
which is doing well; men who have
what passes for a conviction that any
body who is shrewd enough to make
money, and knows how to enjoy life and
make his friends happy, and has the
misfortune to look prosperous, is prop
er subject for governmental highway
robbery; men who reverse much quoted
gospel words until they read, TO him
that hath not shall be given, and from
him that hath shall be taken away
enough to supply him that hath not.
And these witless, sad faced, great lung
ed children from the cave of Boreas
sough and sigh and mourn and howl
OF their words no man hsteth whence
they come or why. And they swish and
swash and mix things and overturn and
never set up, and it takes party or a
state or country long time to get
over them. "-Willimantic Journal

The young Detroit man had borrowed
$40 from the rich old man, promising
to bring it back one week from date.
The millionaire let him have it, and Oh
time the borrower brought it back.
''Now, Mr. Bullion, said the young
man, I've been square with you in this
matter, and ] want to borrow $50 fol
two weeks. I"
The old man shook his head
Sorry, said he but can't let yor
have it "
why not?'' and the young man was
greatly astonished-
Because you have disappointed me,
and I don't want to be disappointed
again. /"
The borrower was moro surprised
than ever.
What do you mean by being disap-
pointed?' he asked
This" explained the money man.
II let you have that $40, not expecting
ever TO get it back again, and did
Now, if let you have 500, would ex-
pect to get 1t again, and l never would.

disappointment is enough. Good day, .

The extraordinary announcement that
has recently appeared in the German
papers to the effect that, by virtue of a
decree obtained from the courts, Baron
Albert Won Ohlendorff had disinherited
and disowned his eldest son, the Baron
Oscar Won Ohlendorff, ON account of his
extravaganza, habitual drunkenness and
general misconduct, is necessary, ac-
cording to Teutonio law, in order to
render imperative the claims, which
the young man would otherwise possess,
upon his parents property. On the con-
tinent of Europe parents are held to
have certain obligations, SO far as prop
erty and maintenance are concerned,
toward the children whom they have
brought into the world. and disinherit-
ance is only permitted when the sane
ton of the courts has been obtained-a
sanction given in such cases as the
above alone or where the son has be-
come a criminal Berlin Letter.

A Philadelphia newspaper is respon-
sible for this story about cat. This
particular feline belonged to a dentist
and seemed to take delight in watch
ing the doctor operate ON his patients.
One day it was noticed that pussy re-
fused to eat and that she often yowled
in apparent distress, but no one knew
what was the matter. The next morn
ing, after patient had left the chair,
pussy jumped into the place he had CO.
cupied and gave a pitiful yowl Struck
with an idea, the dentist carefully ex-
amined the cats mouth and found a
swollen gum and an liberated tooth.
He promptly extracted the incisor, and
pussy Immediately began to pur in a
very contented manner. 1t may have
been only a coincidence, but it really
looked as if the cat knew where to GO
for relief

THE ENGAGEMENT RING.
And What Sometimes Follows After 1t /
Received by the Bride Elect.

And What Sometimes Follows After 1t Is
Received by the Bride Elect.
Somewhat apropos of weddings, at
least of weddings that may be- is story
told by one Of the leading statesmen for a
well known jewelry house. 1t is not
uncommon for brides elect just after the
election to resort to some sort of clever
artifice to find out the intrinsic value Of
the glittering bauble that proclaims her
to be his. Sometimes they do their own
detective work, but perhaps more fire.
quently curious mother takes charge
of it, under the impression, as she makes
you believe, that if the ring is all it is
pretended to be the giver's character Is
like it. The originator Of that theory
has never been discovered The disciples
are legion.
The salesman in question was ap-
preached by woman of the fashion
able world and her daughter. The lat
ter looked somewhat embarrassed, and
the experienced young man behind the
counter thought he recognized the symp-
toms.
II desire to get ring for my daugh-
ter, said the woman. The salesman
looked at the young lady.
Not this one, another daughter. 1t
is to be a surprise "
She was shown case after case Of dia
mond rings, but none seemed to suit
her. Finally she said to the daughter,
"Show him yours, dear. Blushingly
she took off her glove and slipped a
sparkling ring from her engagement
finger.
Il want to get one exactly like that
How much will it costf"
The salesman looked at the ring, and
the girl watched him as bravely as she
could He recognized 1t as one he had
sold to Mr.. Blank few days before.
Isn't she crafty2" he thought
well, III fix her this time y So he
handed the ring back to the daughter
and said:
''The cost Of this ring, madam, was
confidential matter between Mr.. Blank
and myself We haven't another like 1t
in the house. / understood from his re-
marks that he thought the ring would
not be valued at its intrinsic worth.
However, if you wish to know its val
ne, take it to some pawnshop and null
tiply what they will offer you for it by
three, and you will get pretty nearly
the correct price. -
The mother fiounced out of the store
in great wrath Her daughter followed,
almost In tears. Of course the store lost
their patronage, but the salesman said
he couldn' t resist the temptation to give
them lesson. Philadelphia Press
