SMALL DUTIES.
Obligations of the Minor Order That should
BE Performed.

Obligations of the Minor Order That Should
BE Performed.
A distinct mark of good breeding
which young girls are apt to treat
rather lightly is what we may call the
small social obligation.
Every girl who has been well
brought up will of course perform her
important duties, be they social or
otherwise. She will call TO see her
friend who has been in trouble. She
could not fail to answer promptly in
writing any written invitation, or to
return first visit in due time, whether
the acquaintance offered her be ac-
ceptable or not, but there are thou
sand and one slight occasions constant
ly arising which one, unless she is
quite punctilious in such matters, as
she should be, is apt to fail to recog-
nize as obligations.
There is no courtesy that may with
good taste be either accepted or de-
clined without polite acknowledge
ment. The receipt through the mails
of newspaper addressed by a friend,
and containing marked paragraph of
interest to either or both, should be
dhoWCACA p1O1upbAJ py A0bcs uuACSSg
for instance, the recipient should hap
pen to have another paper or a maga-
zine holding some further notice Of the
same subject. In that case the send
ing of this, with article marked, would
be graceful and sufficient acl1nowl-
edgment of the first.
Ordinary notes of regrets sent in
answer to formal invitations need, of
course, no reply, being themselves
final answers. But when friend de-
clines an invitation, assigning as reason
for so doing that her little brother has
fallen and broken his collar-bone, or
that she herself has met with an acci-
dent, an early note expressing regret
and interest-os a visit, if the degree
of intimacy justiies it's absolutely
obligatory. -Harper's Young People.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS.
Important Deciaton.

The Supreme Court rendered an Inn
portant decision last week in-the case Of
]. T. Cole and wife vs.. the Southern
Building and Loan Association of Knox
vile, Tenn, involving the legality of
the transactions Of building and loan
associations incorporated under the laws
of Tennessee, but not uniting their busi-
ness to one locality Or situs of the home
office, and which require a fixed pre-
MUM for the loan Of money.
Cole had 5000 stock in the association,
and made application to borrow $500
on a house and lot He defaulted in
payment, and the association sold the
house and lot to one g. w. Albers, who
conveyed the same to the association,
and Cole refusing 10 give possession, the
association fled an ejectment bill. The
defense was that the association only
loaned money at a fixed premium of 100
per cent.-that is, the borrower getting
$4,000 would have to execute his note
for $1,000 and therefore the contract
was void as being contrary to the stat
ute and the charter.
The court held that although all money
was loaned by the association at the
same rate in fact, there was no rule
which required a fixed per cent, and
the court had reached the conclusion
that the association did not require a
fixed premium. The transaction was held
good. The decree against Cole was af-
firmed and judgment was given against
him for possession and also for rents
while in possession.

INSULTING THE FLAG.
Canadian Authorities Haul Down the sta

Canadian Authorities Haul Down the stars
and Stripes.
WASHINGTON, May y26.-United States
Consul Willis, at st. Thomas, a Cana
dian town on the north side of Lake
Erie, yesterday reported to the state
department by telegraph, through
United States Consul-General Riley at
Toronto, that the United States flag
flying over his consulate was hauled
down by Canadian authorities. He
asked for instructions The consul
added that the matter had been brought
to the attention of the Dominion gov
ernment, and it had ordered an inves-
tigation to locate the responsibility of
the guilty person.
Several officers of the Queens Own
regiment were seen last night in refer
ence to the outrage. They all denied
knowing anything of the affair. One
of them said: IF it be true, It is GER
tainly most regrettable circumstance,
and can only be excused on the ground
that the perpetrators must have been
intoxicated
A private of the regiment who was
not reticent, and who was an eye-wit-
ness to the affair, said: s'Yes, it is true.
The American flag was pulled down.
After supper about forty of the regi-
ment marched up the street, when one
espied the flag floating out in front of
drug store. Several went in and re-
monstrated with the proprietor
for showing the American
flag on the queens birthday
and asked or rather ordered
him to take it in. He refused to COM
ply with the request, and Immediately
some of them made a dash tor it and
tore it from its fastenings and left it
lying in the street. They, | am sure,
had no idea that it was the American
consul's Office though"
The incident has caused quite SEN
sation in military and other circles in
the city, and the action of the hair
Drained perpetrators is strongly con-
demned.

Eleven Men Reported to Have Been BIow O

State Of Affairs.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, May 26.- Eleven
men killed, with a strong probability
that the number of dead will be in
creased when all is known, is the
record of the first day of trouble here,
although real fighting has not yet be-
gun, as the deputies are awaiting rein
forcements before beginning active
operations
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning elev-
en- men started to work in the Strong
mine on Battle mountain. Shortly
afterward q party Of strikers blew up
the shaft house, causing a loss of S25,
600, and then dropped roo pounds of
giant powder down the shaft, which
was also exploded killing all the in
mates. Not more than 400 yards from
the Strong shaft house, sixteen men,
who had been engaged to go to work
in the Independence mine, were sur
rounded in their bunk house, and after
a long parley agreed to surrender.
Each one was armed with rife and a
brace of revolvers, the arms now being
in the possession of the strikers.
At Victor, miles away, where fully
1000 people reside, a reign of terror
exists. Within half a mile of the cor
poration limits of the town, all day
long fully 800 union miners, armed
with rifles, have paraded up and down
the side of the hill. Occasionally de-
tour into the village would be made,
and people whom the miners thought
to be Objectionable were ordered to
leave the place.
The special train bearing $50 armed
deputies reached Victor about 10
o'clock yesterday morning. The depu-
ties were Immediately surrounded by
400 miners. A pitched battle ensued
in which the deputies took refuge be-
hind th> rocks. The deputies finally
proceeded to the independence mine
and secured possession, where they are
besieged by part of the miners
At the summit of Bull hill, but 500
feet away from the Victor property,
the miners have barricade of logs
and broken rock, which is supplied
with loopholes and ladders. Consider
able ammunition is stored there, and
also quantity of provisions, but there
is no water. Whole kegs of blasting
powder have been stored in the barri
cade, and there is no telling to what
desperate extreme the men may go.
Two wagons loaded with powder and
cartridges for cne of the mines were
by the strikers and their con-
tents c0ufiEcated

NEW York, May 26.-Fierce rats have
taken possession of section of Van
derbilt avenue, Morrisania. Embold.
ened by the strength of their numbers,
they attack persons who venture to in
trude in their domain after nightfall.
Mrs. Hamilton, of East One Hundred
and Seventy-second street, had an ex-
citing adventure in passing their sec
tion of the avenue the other night that
she will not soon forget. She was
chased considerable distance by an
army of long-tailed Norwegian ro-
dents, and a dozen rents in her gar
ments bear witness to their ferocity
and the sharpness of their teeth.
The primary cause of the invasion
is the raising of the grade of the
avenue, between One Hundred and
Sixty-first and One Hundred and Sixty
fifth streets. The contractors had
dumped many tons of ashes and offal
into the roadbed to bring it up to the
required level. The recent heavy rains
soaked through the dirt and the vapors
have attracted the vermin. Rats have

gnawed their way deep down into the
mass of rubbish, built nests and raised

around by day, and fmpudently stare
at passers-by without running away.
They seem to know that they are
feared, and they show their wicked
teeth menacingly and twitch their lips

Co.'s weekly review says:
Storms and floods. prolonged strikes and
large exports OF gold have done their utmost
this week to give business vacation. But the
wants unsatisfied during the past year, belated
and much lessened, and yet greater than those
of any other nation, have caused volume Of
trade quite large for the season.
Prices Of products still tend downward, with
out much speculation. tits not surprising that
farmers retain wheat at present prices where
they can. Corn has been stronger, notwith-
standing large receipts and insignif-
cant exports. Cotton has recovered a
shade, to ~ cents, though receipts
for the week we've nearly as large as last year,
and exports much smaller Pork products all
declined with heavy receipts, and coffee IS also
lower The astonishing cheapness Of wheat
