TWO LITTLE SKEEZUCKS.

There were two little skeeZucks who lived
in the isle
OF Boo in a southern sea:
They clamb.red and rollicked in heathen-
ish styl
In the boughs Of their cocoanut tree.
They didn't fret much about clothing and
such
And they rocked not a whit Of the ills
That sometimes accrue
From having to do
With tailor and laundry bills
The two little skeezucks once heard of
Fair
Far off from their native isle,
And they asked of King Fan IL they
mghtn't go there
To take irt.the sights for awhile.
Now old King Fan
Was a good-natured man
(As good-natured monarchs go).
And howbeit he swore that all Fairs were
bore,
He hadn't the heart to say mo-"
30 the two little skee.' KS sailed off to
the Fair
In great big gum canoe
And fancy they had good time there,
For they tarried a year or two.
And old King Fan at last began
To reckon they'd come to grief.
When. glory one day
They sailed into the bay
To the tune Of III all to the Chlefw
The two little skeezucks fell down on the
sand
Embracing his majesty's toes,
TIL his majesty graciously bade them
stand
And salute him nose to nose.
And then quoth' he:
"Divulge unto me
What happenings have hapt to you:
And how did they dare to indulge in a
Fair
So far from the island Of Boo?"
The two little skeezucks assured their
king
That what he surmised was true;
That the Fair would have been a differ
ent thing
Had II only been held at Boo!
''The folk over there in no wise compare
With the folk Of the southern seas;
Why. they comb out their heads
And they sleep In beds
Instead Of In caverns and treesw
The two little skeezucks went on to say
That children $50 far as they knew
Had a much harder time In that land lar
away
Than here In the island Of Boo!
They have to wear clo'es
Which (as every one knows)
Are irksome to primitive ladd.es,
While. with forks and with spoons, they're
denied the sweet boons
That accrue from free use of ones pad
dies!
'And now that you're speaking of things
to eat"
Interrupted the monarch OF Boo,
1--WE beg to inquire II you happened to
meet -
With nice missionary or twoY'
mo. that we did not; In that curious spot
Where were gathered the fruits of the
earth,
n OF that special kind
Which Your Nibs has In mind
There appeared a deplorable dearthv'
Then loud laughed that monarch In heath
enish mirth
And loud laughed his courtiers, too,
I. And. they cried: There Is elsewhere no
land upon earth
b good as the island of Boot"
Andtthe skeexucks tho glad
OF the journey they'd had.
Climbed mp in their cocoanut trees.
Y WheFe they still mny be seen with no
M Sshirts to keep clean

 ing.

Manson of the board of education was master of ceremonies.
 Dr. Conwell arrived a few minutes late, but the time from the arrival of the distinguished guest to the close of the meeting was enthusiastically i'm proved About two hundred of the prominent ministers and laity of the diff ferent Protestant churches in the city shook hands with the Philadelphia di- vine The particular object of the re- ception was that Dr Conwell should tell what he could in the short time he was allotted of the object of the coming con- vention of Christian Workers which will be in session in this city next month.
 The work of such a convention, in the mind of the speaker, cannot be over estimated. It is unlike all other con- ventions, inasmuch as it's details con- sist of the telling by each member of the success he has had in his particular field. Dr. Conwell was listened to throughout with interest and enthusias- tically applauded at the close of his re- marks.
 Rev. John H. Mason and Rev Edwin M. Poteat, who have attended the con- ventions, spoke of the work done.
 Among the lay members present were Dr s. c. Whitney. Insurance Commits sioner Belts, E. J. Mansfield. Judge L. w. Cleaveland. ex-Judge Deming, E. c. Bowditch, A. c. Smith and Superintend- ent C. A. Kendall.
 The lecture by Dr. Conwen at the Church of the Redeemer last evening was largely attended and was, as ex- pected from the fame of the speaker as a lecturer and preacher. rare treat. His subject was Acres of Diamonds, {" He was fitly introduced by Rev. pr. Phillips. The lecture lasted two hours and was full of interest from beginning to end The speaker was many times greeted with enthusiastic applause.

 MANY DLGNITARIES THERE.
An Imposing Service at the Congress of tn
 athOlIc Church.

tatholic Church.
 Washington, Oct. 2.-The first euchar- istic congress of the Catholic church in America began this morning with the celebration of a solemn pontifical high mass at St. Patrick's. The edifice was crowded to the doors. The services brought together nearly every member of the episcopacy and also dedicated the new St. Patrick's cathedral, which after thorough renovation was open ed to-day, and presented the most beall- tiful church interior in Washington. The pontifical celebrant was Mgr. Sa-
 tolli, the apostolic delegate, who was
 assisted by Very Rev. F. Murray, pro- lessor of Mount St. Mary's seminary, were Very Rev William OKenney, V. G., Jacksonville, Fla, and Very Rev. S. Fox, V. G., Green Bay, Wis; deacon of the mass, Rev. J. McMahon, rector of St. Thomas church, New York city, with Rev. Professor Cestelli of St. PauPs seminary, St. Paul, as sub-deacon. The masters of ceremonies were Rev. J. F. Gie of St. Patrick's church, Washington, and Rev. C.. Dougherty of St. Angus tines church. Washington.
 Gathered about the beautifully illum- mated altar were the dignitaries of the Catholic church in America, dressed in their purple robes and barettas. These, under softly shaded lights and the soft CT glow of the wax candles, presented picturesque surroundings for the yellow chasubles of the celebrant and assist ants, while the front part of the nave was occupied by the priestly members of the eucharistic league, clad in black cassockc and white surplices. Among those who sat within the altar railing were Archlbishops Williams of Boston, Elder of Cincinnati, Ryan of Philadel- phia, Corrigan of New York, Janssens of New Orleans and Kain of St. Louis, | Bishops Macs of Covington, Ky, Horst l man of Cleveland, Keane, rector of the ! Catholic university; Foley of Detroit, O'Sullivan of Mobile Van Devivere of Richmond, Donohue of Wheeling, Burke of Albany, Michaud of Burlington, Vt, McGovern of Harrisburg, Pa, and Nitin of Marquette, Mich.
 The orchestral and vocal renditions made the occasion one to be remember | ed. Under the leadership of Signor Ma
 riano Gaina, a classical program was presented, beginning with a selection ] from Rossini's grand mass. Solos by | William D. Mcfarland and Miss Mary | Helen Howe, two accomplished violin l ists, a harp obligato by Miss Anita | Cliss, violin obligato by Professor An ton Kaspar and a fugue by Professor John Porter Lawrence, the organist, were the features of the mass
 The electrical display was very fine, and was made effective by detailed and | general features, the most beautiful of 1 which was the invisible illumination of the stations of the cross.
 The mass was concluded with an elo- quent sermon by Bishop Keane His
 subject was Friendship" and he lik-
 | ened the members of the eucharistic
 league to the apostles, whom Christ call
 l ed His friends.
 The session began at 2:3O D. m. at the
 | Catholic university.

THE YALE-BROHN GAME.
Yale Won by a Score O. to O-Captain Thorne Made the Touchdown-An Un- usually Large Attendance

Much interest was centered in the Yale-Brown fotball game yesterday, as it was thought that Brown would score. Yale's new men, however, did them selves credit, and prevented this calami- ty. The game lasted through two twen- ty-minute halves. Cross at Yale's cen ter, was rather weak, making holes quite easily. Browns guard was good. and the back tried the old well known "criss-cross" dodge, but could not get around Yale's end. In the first half Captain Thorne of Yale made the enly score in the game by getting a touch- down in getting around Browns end. The goal was not kicked. Chadwick. ss Yale's guard, did good heavy work. and Brown only broke through once. Ro5g- CTS at guard in the second half also did well. Louis Hinkey played left end Hitchcock made fine play by breaking through Browns line and stopping the back before he started. Murphy '97 tle hope of the Yale team this year. did not play but looked on from the side lines. "Tot" Murphy, Yale's well known spider shortstop in. former years and who played with the Giants. was pres ent at the game. An unusually large crowd was in attendance for a minor game, about 500 being present.

FRINGE SENT AWaY.
It Was Due to a Quarrel With His Brother,
 the Emperor.

London, Oct. 2.-Recently rumor that Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia brother of Emperor William, had been sent away on leave of absence for a year because of a serious quarrel with the emperor was discredited in Berlin court circles, and 1t was asserted that it had long been arranged that Prince Henry should go on protracted tour after the naval manoeuvres at Kiel. To- day the Daily News and Truth, of this city, reiterate the rumor. The Daily News publishes dispatch from it's cor respondent in Rome giving an inter view with an unnamed diplomat who ascribes the quarrel to a difference of opinion as to the organization of the navy.
 Turth says the trouble rose over some question in connection with the Kaiser Wilhelm I canal and that the dispute re- suited in Prince Henry being virtually banished for year, despite the efforts of Empress Frederick, mother of the emperor and Prince Henry. to effect a reconciliation between her sons. Prince Henry and his wife are now at Balmor- al, the guests of the queen, Prince Hen rvs grandmother. They will probably remain there for a month.

 the question. The only proper way to
 spread the idea is to educate the pe:- gle so they can judge for themselves and then teach them.
 Dr. F. H. Arnold was introduced and spoke to some extent on the s1b- 1ect and ended up by telling how much cheaper incineration Is than burial. He said that 1t is better to spend one dol lar on the living than ou cent on the dead.
 The election of new officers for the society was postponed until the council
