A shakers Opinion of society

Some years ago I knew an elder
Of the Shakers who differed from
many Of his brethren in having
thought much about the socia.
structure Of his sect. though their
communal life was rather favorable
to thinking IN all of them. We
were talking one day of the life OF
the world, which l defended and
he said in concession Of my ground
at one point; "If good society
were what IT appears to be on the
surface, could not find fault with
il. If people in society behaved
toward one another from motives
Of real kindness, as they behave
now from motives Of po'lteness
society would be an image Q
heaven; for in society you see PEG
ple defer to one another, the stron'
give way to the weak; the brllllan
and the gifted will not rut the res
at a disadvantage, and they al
seem to meet oil an equality. IN
trouble is that their behavior
merely a convention and not
principle. They behave beaut
fully from politeness and not 'rol
kindness. w. D. Eowells,
Century.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUG. 81, 1895.
MIsUsING A PASS.

a naval lieutenant of the receiving
ship Franklin at the Norfolk navy
ward is in trouole over the thrifty ar
raneements which he made for mis-
wife's economical trip to the East from
San Francisco. He was recently de-
tailed to duty on the Pacific coast, and
went out there with his wife on pass
furnished by the Sante Fe Company
from Chicago to Mohaye, Cal Last
week his wife had to return. She had
the pass which was for her husband
and herself from Mohsve to Chicago.
She had pass from San Francisco to
Mohave, but arrangements were made
with ticket scalper to furnish her
with temporary husband for
the overland journey, who, in
consideration for his free trans
portation, agreed to pay for the lady's
meals and sleeping car accommoda-
tions. In some way the Santa Fe Off
Gals learned of the deception. The
real lieutenant is an Ohioan, with thin
features, spare figure, iron gray hair.
The bogus lieutenant engaged for the
trip was a big fat Jew with curly black
hair.
Soon after the train left Mohave the
couple received shock when the con-
ductor declared their pass. void and
took it I'D. The lady was in terrible
plight, as the conductor threatened to
put her off in the desert. She finally
pawned her .jewelry for the $40 requir-
ed to reach Albuquerque. Her COM
panion had only enough to pay his fare
and buy meals.
Arriving at Albuquerque, the lady
was forced to pawn the remainder of
her valuables, including her watch, to
raise the S43 necessary for her fare to
Chicago. Her companion was left
stranded in Albuquerque, with 25 cents
for living expenses. The case excited
much attention on the road, and both
the lieutenant and the ticket scalper
who arranged the deception will be
likely to wish they had not devised the
scheme.

Grand Opera Eouse.-The successful ex-
travaganZa "l4.2' opened a return engage
merit in this city of four performances at
the Grand Opera Ho, Sc last night. 1t has
the brilliancy of costume, the flow of mer-
rment and the attractions of pose and per-
sonality, which, at its first visit, establish
ed 1t as an acceptable feature of the popu-
lar amusement Of the day. Besides the
standard features in fun and melody, there
are various touches Of novelty. and the
performance last night went with a brisk
ness and jolity that commanded a lib
eral response from the public in the way
of laughter and applause, not to mention
the substantial tokens of esteem deposited
in the box office.
Concert at Calvary Church.-The concert
by the Colgate University Glee Banjo and
Mandolin clubs at the Calvary Baptist
Church, corner Of Sth and II streets north
west, this evening, roulises to be most
interesting event, both socially and mus-
cally. The clubs will render some excep-
tionally fine music and a large number of
tickets have been sold. After the concert
the Young Peoples Society OF Christian
Endeavor will tender the clubs a reception
in the Sunday school house and the whole
affair Will be thoroughly enjoyed by those
who attend. Tickets may be obtained at

Montague, dean of the Columbian Uni

the Young Mems Christian Association,
HOB New York avenue northwest, tonight
at o'clock. His topic Will be The Origin
and Development of the Roman Drama"
The parlor talks given by the Y. NJ. C. A.

those who know Prof Montague have
some idea of what to look for on this oc-
cason. The topic itself is one of consid-
cradle interest, and should attract many
