battleship Illinois, now a habitat for
the United States naval reserve. On
that point of land to the extreme north
east of the grounds stands the red brick
building where Great Britain housed
its display, and its vis-a-vis, the Ger
man building. in solid masonry; its
front, bespangled with shields and blue
and gilt armorial devices, shivers in
the cold air from the lake. Beyond
this stands that curious, low lying
toadstool of a structure in gray and
slate, the Ohio building, and it is the
only one of the Federal sisterhood of
structures left. Being of stone it
defied rapid removal like the rest of
the State buildings. and will be put to
some use later on by the Park Com
missioners. to whom it has been
donated, as have also the British and
German structures.
You are now in that extreme mol tn
ern section of the grounds which
escaped miraculously from the devas-
tating fires. You see the stupendous
Fine Arts building at its old stand,
now converted into the Field Colum

manent home for the marvels and
curios from every cline, aftermath of
the fair, left for Chicago to CLEAN and
sheave and preserve by the right of in
heritance. Shivering on the outside OF
the walls, near an arm Of the lagoon,
the ship Viking lies hauled off ON the
ground, waiting its chance to enter the
company of immortals under the shell

around the bend to the south, rises that
sky scraping fir pole of the Washing

SIX DOLLARS, SHE SAID.

A pretty young woman, who said she
lived in small town in Pennsylvania,
called on Mayor Strong awhile ago.
and said in low, soft tones:
81 am lady. This is my first visit
to New York. l have not enough
money to pay my car fare home. -
"How much will it be?" asked the
mayor, fumbling in his pockets.
six dollars, sir, she said.
The mayor gave her five and one
dollar bill.
"Thanks. I'll send You the money as
soon as l get home. Meanwhile I'll
leave you my name and address.

The mayor took the autograph,
gazed on it admiringly, and put it in a
drawer.
Its about the finest penmanship
I've ever seen." he said ruefully, "but
it's hardly worth the money. She
must have taken an awful long time to
get home. New YORK. World.

IMPROVE THE PRESENT.

How transient everything seems
How rapidly the days pass! Only yes
terday, as it were, we babe goodby to
1898, and now 1894 has lived out his
youth, manhood and old age, and has
gone.
We place a peculiar value upon
things as they pass away, and would
rather keep the old year little longer.
We knew him so WE'LL He brought
to us such pleasures and pain; many
successes. and some disappointments
that proved to be His appointments.
Every New Year is another opportunity
given by the loving Father to profit by
past mistakes, to
Be little truer than the year before,
Pray little oftener, love little more.
Many are familiar with that quaint,
potent and impressive message uttered
by one who knew whereof he spoke
"expect to pass through this world but
once. If, therefore, there is any kind
ness can show. or any good thing /
can do to any fellow being. let me do it
now. Let me not defer nor neglect it,
for shall not pass this way again. )"
Do you hear the Q ,ho of that refrain as
you meet the friend and the stranger?
Giving of your store to those who need
and there be many, "for the poor in
(miDd, body and estate) We have always
with you, does it not appeal to and
vibrate through the whole moral and
spiritual nature? "Shall not pass
this way-again-shall not pass-this
way-again.
Needing the lesson is only another
way of expressing Solomon's thought
in Eccl. tx, 10.
If we should take this for our watch
word for the New Year, and weave its
spirit into every passing day. we
should not so often weary of what
seem little monotonous duties. They
would be converted into grand oppor-
tunities, opening new ways for helping
each other.
We should think less of what "peo-
pie would say" and the popularity
or unpopularity of thing we felel
ourselves called to do would have less
weight or Importance with us if we
could realize that we Twill not pass

What glorious place this world

in mind, that whatever good we do
must be done now.

my grace is sufficient for you." and
the gracious promise given to st. Paul
in his hour of need has been verified in
the lives Of millions of his children,
and is ours today.
Realizing the immense possibilitiaz
in our lives, cur hearts are filled with
strong purposes to be everything we
may be, to live up to the full measure
of our opportunities. So. very happy
and prosperous New Year to you, filled

PAPER VESTS.

We cannot speak from experience in
favor of those paper vests" which
have come into some vogue this winter,
and which, it is said. are satisfactory
both to the ribs and the spinal column
in very cold weather. We are told by
an enthusiast who made paper vest
for himself out of copy of last Sun
days Sun, after he had read every
word of it and committed one of its
original poems to memory. that it is
meat, warm. healthy and sure pre-
ventive of pneumonia. We should
think this useful garment ought to be
worn under the cloth vest, perhaps
outside of the flanel shirt, and that,
if thus worn. it would surely help to
keep out the cold air and to retain the
natural heat in proper place. The
paper vest is said to be especially ac-
ceptable to letter carriers, car drivers
street cleaners, news vendors, and other
people who are much exposed to the
weather at this time of the year. We
understand that there are places where
the garment can be purchased for
trif1e by men who cannot cut it and
clasp it for themselves; but the man
unable to do that, and thus save his
money, must he too stupid to live in
this country. We should think there
had better be several thicknesses of
paper in the vest. though from lack of
experience we speak with uncertainty.
There are no paper trousers yet, so
far as we know, but who can tell what
people will come to if the hard times
continue forever?-New York Sun.

THE SPORTS GOT LEFT.

A PRIZE FIGHT BETWEEN MURPHY AND
 coNNoRs PREvENTEDBY OFFICERS.
 It was whispered around yesterday that two pugilists were to have finish fight last night, and about 10 o'clock number of carriages containing sports. referees, packers and pugilists left the city and sought quiet spot in the woods beyond Avondale. There were about fifty people, besides the principals, and they succeeded in getting away, as they thought, without detection by the police.
 The spot being reached torches were lit, ropes stretched and-well, the fight didn't come off.
 For once the police officers were too alert and, scenting their prey, Chief Mcdonald and Captain Weir followed the crowd and arrived on the scene ip time to scatter themere the pugilists had time to enter the ring.
 Had they been ten minutes later they would have made catch, but happily for the sports they didn't, and a lot of disap- pointed men turned toward the city feeling little sore overthe prevention of the fight.

HELD FOR MURDER.

A NEGRO FOUND IN HOLE UNDER
 HoUsE-cLAIMs sELF-DEFENsE.
 Gilbert Armstrong, colored, was locked upin the county jail yesterday on a charge of murder. The arrest was made about noon by Deputy Sheriffs Sparks, Shoe- maker, Burgin and Phillips.
 Armstrong, it is said, had been in hid- ing for the past two or three weeks at the house of a woman living at Avenue I, be- tween Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets. On examining the house the officers found a hole, covered with drop lid, in the floor large enough for man to escape through. When arrested Armstrong said he had not been in hiding, and asserted that he was innocent of murder, doing what he did, he claimed, in self-defense.
 Several weeks ago Armstrong stabbed a negro barber known as Snug Swing, who died from the effects of the wound three or four weeks later.
 Armstrong stated to an AGE HERALD re- porter, who saw him at the county jail yes- terday afternoon, that he and Swing were alone in room at Second avenue and Fourteenth street. Swing claimed that Armstrong owed him dime and asked him for it. They scuf1ed over piece of money until they got mad. Swing struck Arm- strong on the head with fork, the latter claims, whereupon he stabbed him in the body with knife.
 Armstrong says he and Swing were the best of friends and he had no intention of killing him.

MIR. ALEX. T. LONDON
Gives His Opinion of the Bill Filed by the Southern in the Chan
 cery Court.

Mir. Alex T. London, who represents the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton com- pany in their fight with the Southern, was asked his opinion of the bill filed yester- day. Mir. London said:
 "Another move was made today in the ehancery court by the Southern Railway company in the litigation to secure the Alabama Great Southern.
 IA bill has been filed by the Central Trust company in the interest of the South- ern railway alleging practically the same grounds which were stated in the bill of Greenough, which is now pending in the supreme court of Alabama-nameiy, that Taylor and others who were elected at tue stockh olders' meeting last October are 1n eligible to hold the office of directors in the Alabama Great Southern Railway company.
 'This Is tue main proposition ln the olll filed in the chancery court. Much other matter is stated, but unless this proposl- ton can be maintained this last bill must fail.
 "An injunction was obtained in the city court of Birmin gham last November on the eve of adecision by Judge Pardee adverse to the interests now sought to be-asserted. One day before Judge Pardee's decision Nas made public bill was filed in the city court of Birmingham and an injunction was obtai med, which, upon full hearing, Judge Wikerson disallowed.
 "Thls case was carried to the supreme court of Alabama and the court held that it stood for trial on the 7th day of last De- cemb Der.
 'For the convenience of counsel for the appellants (Greenougb and others) it was continued for sixty days, and was heard on the 7th day of February The court, on the next day, adjourned over until the 1st day of April. It was stated by the chief justice that the adjournment over would not pre- vent decision, but the decision has not yet been rendered by the supreme court of Alabama.
 E 'It is an open secret that the counsel em- ployed for the appellants in that case in the supreme court have stated that they had no , case, and though two months have elapsed , since the case was fully argued, no decision has yet been rendered.
 ssPending this appeal, and before the , case could be decided there, the Central Trust company lies this bill in the chan , cery court of Birmingham and procures another injunction, identical in terms with the injunclions heretofore granted. ttEx-J Justice Il. M. SomervilIe, general appraiser in New York, now appears as counsel for the complainant, in connection with the other counsel of tue Central Trust company.
 .tThe outcome of the present litigation is not uncertain in the end; but the effect of this in injunction is to postpone the decision until after the meeting of the supreme court, next November, as under the rules of the supreme court no appeal from the ruling of the chancellor in respect to this injunction can be heard until then. The effect is practically that upon the same case now before the supreme court for de- termination, to tic up this property until after next October, when the annual eiec- ton is to be held What is to be the out come of will it be known later on.'

CREMATION
Ia Not Christian Burial, Decides the Highest Masonic Authority Of PeEnsylvania-Cas
 in Point.

PHILADELPHIA, April 10.-Tho crema- tion services have been officially declared by Masonic authority not to be Christian burial. The question that has brought about this decision arose over tue making of arrangements for the funeral of the late Charles H. Reisser, the we'll known restau- rant keeper.
 It had always been Reisser's wish to be cremated and after bis death his family de- cided to follow his wishes. Mir. Reisser was also Mason and was member of Rising Star lodge, Oriental chapter, and ot Kadoah commandery.
 These organizations were invited to take part in the funeral, but before accepting 1t was learned that it was the intention to have the services at the time the body was cremated. The question was at once raised, whether, under Masonic law, this would be Christian burial. The matter was re- ferred to the grand master of Pennsylvania, who is Judge Arnold, and he promptly rendered decision that services at cre- nation were not Christian burial under Masonic law.
 The family therefore decided to abandon their original intention. The funeral took place today and the Masonic organization attended in a body and performed Masonic rites. The body was then placed in vault for time.
