Papa In the Same List,

A gentleman formerly in the service
Of the United States navy married a
Japanese beauty few years ago and
settled down to domestic life in the Land
of the Rising Sun.
Only few months ago an old chum
of his, an officer on one of our ships of
war, went to call upon him at his home
in Nagasaki. While waiting in the room
which might correspond to the parlor in
this country he heard the prattle Of a
child in the adjoining apartment Said
the youngster:
"Who is the foreign devil that has
come to see papa?"
Hush, said the nurse. 1.-THE gen.
tleman might overhear you. Heis fell
low countryman of your fathers. -
"Well, papa is foreign devil toe"
This incident would seem to show
that certain colloquial phrases have sur
vived the feeling OF hatred for foreign
ers which the Japanese abandoned Sc
many years ago. Washington Star

roof carried away. 1t had only lately
been finished and cost $50, 900. The

with prospects of it being still worse,
as Albert Taylor hall, with its fine

in the building when it went down.
Four inches of rain fell in two hours,
accompanied by a terrific wind storm.

II. E. Brown Turned Out Of One Organi-
zation Forms Another.
There is trouble among the Topeka
Spiritualists, and a new society has been
formed as a result.
Since January Fl. Fl. Brown. the Pop
ulist speaker and writer, who formerly
worked for the Ottawa Journal. has been
addressing the meetings of the Spirit
ualistic society AS a result of his
views a dissatisfaction sprang up. Rev.
Mr.. Brown did not talk enough about
spirit phenomena and life in the spirit
world. His sermons were about the life
here and he emphasized its cultivation
The society did not complain for some
time and then the more radical of the
members found fault with the speaker.
He was turning the doctrine of the
society into new channels. MIR. Brown
calls himself a ESoul Culturist" aud so
proclaimed himself at the meeting.
This was too much and a meeting of
the members was held and Mr.. Brown
was told that hia membership in the
First Society of Spirualists had ended.
He then retaliated BY organizing the
"Topeka Society of Soul Culture" and
many of the members of the spiritualist
society have joined the new organization.
The head of the new society says there
is q difference between his society and
the Spiritualists in that they believe in
"mediumship" while he is believer in
spiritual embodiment"
The new society is to meet Saturday
evenings in the rooms of Milo Norton, at
406 West Sixth street.

Even a sIeeping-Car Porter Can ARors
to Treat Travellers courtsOusIy.
Henry Carey, one of the very best OF
the many good servants employed by
the Pennsylvania railroad, died about
two years ago, 1amented and respected
by every officer of the road whom he
came in contact with, says the Phila-
de1phfa Times. Carey was one of those
ideal servants who was never around
except when he was wanted, and then
he was sure to be in evidence. He had
that happy faculty Of Just knowing
what was the right thing to do at the
right moment,and if he was not wanted
you would think the earth had swal-
lowed him up, and in the moment ha
was wanted he appeared to descend
from the clouds. A little incident in
his life before he got in the employ of
the railroad company is worth relating.
At that time he was a porter Of one
of the Pullman cars and one day just
as they were leaving the station in Chi
cago he was going through the cars,
when one of the passengers asked him
for some slight information. He said
he didn't know, but he would find out
and bring back the answer, which he
did in a few minutes. The passenger
then asked him to be good enough
TO hand him drink of water. He said
certainly in a most polite way and
brought him the glass of water. The
passenger was quite taken with the
kindly face of Carey, and said to him
that he was not very well and that he
might get worse on the journey and
asked him if he wouldn't be good
enough to pay him some little atten-
tion on the way. Carey then told him
that that was not his car, that his car
was in front and that he could give
him but very little attention there
He then asked II he might not be re-
moved to the front car. Carey said he
would have to consult the conductor,
which he did. The conductor agreed
to the transfer and he was moved into
Carey's car. For the first eight or ten
hours the man was rather under the
weather, but Carey gave him every at
tention in his power, and from that on
he rather improved, but Carey still
kept up his kind attention, bringing
him everything that he thought he
might like, and doing everything that
he wanted. When he arrived in Phila-
delphia Carey took his valise out to the
platform. When the passenger, watch
Ing his opportunity, saw the porter of
the other car that he had left come uD
to talk with Carey, the passenger put
his hand into his vest pocket, took out
hundred-dollar note and handed it to
Carey, saying: 81 want to thank you
for YOIIr attention f0 mo IN the iour-
ney here, and I also want to reward
you for your kindness to me. Good
day, hope you may have a prosperous
time" To say that the porter whose
car the passenger had left dropped
dead, is to moderately depict his feel
ings.

HARDIE TOO FRESH.
Chicago Ministers DsnOunco Him for His
Rapid Talk.


CHICAGO. Sept. 9.-Ksir Hardie the
English labor leader, sadly disturbed the
usually sedate weekly meeting of the
Methodist clergymen today in red hot
socialistic speech and was greeted with
such a storm of ministerial disapproval
that he was compelled to abandon the
floor. Hardie had been invited to
address the preachers and with several
local socialists attended the meeting.
The Englishman proceeded to air his
views, loudly apLlauded by his friends,
and finally bitterly denounced the execu-
ton of the Chicago anarchists and eulo-
gizea them - pioneers in the new relig-
ion.
The storm which greeted this state
ment almost carried Hardie off his feet
A half dozen preachers at time bitterly
denounced the sentiments expressed and
the speaker was compelled to sit down.
The ministers then proceeded with a
scathing denunciation of speech and
speaker, and Hardie left much offended.
