GEMS OF THOUGHT.

Genuine simplicity Of heart is a heal
ne and cementlng rinciple.-Burke.
Learn to say MOI and 1t will be Of
more use to you than to be able to read
latin. -Spurgcon.
Faith is the sacrifice of the under
standing to God; repentance the sac
rlllce of the will-Jeremy Taylor.
The fault Of others Is easily per-
ceiyed, but that OF oneself is difficult
o perceive. man winnows his neigh
boris faults like chaff, but his own
faults he hides, as the cheat hides the
false die from the gambler,-Buddha.
1t is wise providence that we can
not see the future We can see
through one pane Of glass easily, but
through ten placed together we cannot
see, yet each is transparent BY liv-
ing a day at time we get along well
and all is clear, although we cannot see
through all the purposes Of God con-
corning us.-Anon.
There is one topic peremptorily for
hidden to all wel-bred, to all rational
mortals, namely, their distempers. If
you have not slept, or If you have slept,
or il you have headache, or sciatica, or
leprosy, or thunderstroke, beseech
you by all angels to hold your peace,
and not pollute the morning to which
all housemates bring serene and pleas
ant thoughts, by corruption and groans
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
II, after a serious retrospect Of your
past lives, of the objects that you have
pursued, and the principles which have
determined your conduct, they appear
to be such as will i'll sustain the scru-
tiny Of dying hour, dare to be faith
full to yourselves, and shun with hor-
ror that cruel treachery to your best
interests which would impel you to sac
rilice the happiness of eternity to the
quiet OF momcnt.-Robert Hall.
Nay it very often happens that pru-
dence, which has always in it a great
mixture of caution, binders a man from
being so fortunate as he might possibly
have been without it.-Addison.
AS we advance from youth to middle
age, a new field of action opens, and a
different character is required. The
flow of gay, impetuous spirits begins to
subside; life gradually assumes a
graver cast; the mind a more sedate
and thoughtful turn. The attention is
now transferred from pleasure to inter
est; that is, to pleasure diffused over a
wider extent and measured by larger
scale.-Blair.

The International Cooperative Con-
gress at London was attended by dele.
gates from Italy, from the peoples
banks Of Belgium, the French Agri-
cultural Syndicates, from British Co.
operative Stores, and from similar and
other cooperative organizations in the
United States, Germany, Switzerland,
Denmark, the Netherlands, Austria
Hungary, Roumania, Russia, Servia
and Australia, the primary purpose be-
ing to ascertain how far the co-opera-
tive principle had been or was capable
Of being applied to industrial enter
prise in their respective countries. The
discussion on the cooperative store
movement, particularly in the United
Kingdom, seemed to evoke great en-
thusiasm, most satisfactory results at
cooperation having apparently been
achieved in that direction. Less sue
cess had evidently resulted from efforts
at cooperative production, so far as
shown in papers read and addresses
made.

William H. Webb has carefully
planned his tomb. Mr.. Webb made the
greater part of his wealth in shipbuild-
ing. Not long ago Mr.. Webb erected on
beautiful spot on the banks Of the
Hudson an academy for the training Of
the youth of the country in the art Of
ship construction. This academy and
its endowment cost him $3,000,000
There are a series of beautiful bronzes
in Mr.. Webb's tomb, showing the differ
ent stages of the shipbuilder's art, and
bronze models Of some of the great war
ships launched at the famous Webb
ship yards, on the East River near
Sixth street.
The Webb mausoleum is % by 40 feet,
and has ten separate tombs. The en-
trance is through massive bronze doors,
of which it is said there are none more
beautiful in any mausoleum. The in
terror is artistically adorned with fine
marbles and stained glass windows Of
great beauty Of color lend additional
richness to one Of the most refined and
beautiful examples of mortuary archi-
lecture in the world.
What is perhaps the largest and most
Imposing mausoleum in this country
was recently completed at Salem Fields

Jacob Schlff, Mr.. Schiff is known
chiefly for his philanthropy. He gives
many thousands annually to charitable
institutions, and bis $4,000 gift of a

sioners for the city. Mr.. Schiff's mau-
solem.in which will also rest the mem

Schiff is related by marriage, is in q

lite, and it cost very near $1SO,OOO. 1t is
81 feet by "A feet and 80 feet high. In
addition there is grand colonnade on
both sides, leading to the massive
bronze doors. The mausoleum walls
are absolutely proof against body
snatchers, for it would take them sew
eral days, it is claimed, to chisel
through the granite blocks weighing
10000 pounds on the average. The in
terror Is decorated in a most artistic
manner. This grand tomb is now
empty.

A Pittsburg dispatch says the boom
in structural iron is so great the manu-
facturers are unable to supply the de-
mands. For two months the Carnegie
structural mills have been running to
the limit. The company put a time
limit on the delivery of contracts for
all kinds of material for structural
work. 1t was announced two weeks ago
that no orders for material to be de-
livered within sixty days would be ac-
cepted. This week the limit has been
raised, and orders for delivery under
three months are refused. The same
conditions apply 10 other large struc-
tural mills. 1t is estimated that the
Carnegie Company has contracts on
hand at present aggregating almost
100000 tons Of structural material.
The limit of production for the re-
mainder Of the year will not go much
beyond 100000 tons, and the contracts
on hand will run well into 1896.

When that great philosopher, DR.
Chauncey M. Depew, seeks his last rest.
Ing place, 1t will be in a handsome
mausoleum erected at Peekskill. Over
the entrance Is DR.. Depew's name, and
since its completion, about six months
ago, 1t has been visited by numerous
tourists. DR.. Depew's wife now rests in
this beautiful tomb. It is purely CLASH
cal In design. The roof is formed OF
two mammoth pieces of granite, weigh
Ing together about 100000 pounds. The
interior is artistically finished in sew
eral varieties Of marbles and contains
twelve catacombs. The bronze double
doors are exceedingly neat in design.
DR.. Depew's mausoleum cost him about
$4,000. The entrance faces the west,
and 1t Is in one of the most beautiful
spots in Hillside Cemetery, two miles
from Peekskill.
The friends Of DR.. Clark W. Dunlop
claim that his tomb, just completed in
Woodlawn, is the handsomest one in
the country. 1t is octagonal in shape
and Of Moorish design, costing about
100000, including the lot. All the in
terror walls are Of costly marbles in sew
eral varieties. There are three large
stained glass windows and the floor is
executed in mosaics There are bronze
portrait medalllons Of DR.. Dunlop and
his wife. There are only two vaults in
the tomb. The tomb is of granite and

Evidently, the teaching that fright
eousness exalteth a nation" is played
out. We have tried for century to
maintain this against the world, and
we have been flattering ourselves that
we were doing something for civilIza-
ton. But civilization is only barren
ideallty. Washington and Jefferson
and Monroe and the rest of them were
old fogies. Let us go back to the bar
barism from which we came, to the
ancient idea that self-interest, real or
apparent, is the only guide to political
action, and power the only measure of

"A young man shot young woman

never learn that what may appear very

occasion to leave the city a few days

The Tammany Society Of that time
met in a tavern. The society itself
seemed not greatly to have Hourished
At the meetings where the rituale were
done, sometimes less than dozen
members of the order attended. But
while the society itself was small, there
gathered about it most of those who
were of influence in the Democratic
party, and it was in this way that Tam
many Hall, as distinguished from the
Tammany Society, was developed. The
increase in strength must have been
very rapid after the election of John
Adams, in 1896. The alien and seditiou
laws intensified the opposition to the
Federalists, and in 1897 the Democratic
party, as we shall hereafter call it, under
the leadership of those associated with
Tammany, carried New Y ork City by
one thousand majority, elected Aaron
Burr and De Witt Clinton to the legis
lature and began, through the use OF
patronage as we'll as fairer politics, to
extend it's influence throughout the
State.
