THE ARCHBISHOP FREELY TRANS.
LATED.

The Prince of Wales, by the by, tells
a very good story about Mr.. Gladstone,
who. as everybody knows, is a deeply
religious man. He declares that on one
occasion he heard the Grand Old Man
relate the following aneedote:-
fArchbishop Howley," relates Mr..
Gladstone, was the meekest-mouthed
and g~entlest among men. The
Royal Duke of Cumberland, brother of
George ", in the course Of a violent
discussion in the House of Lords found
opinion was necessary for the rejection
or passage of some measure in which
he was interested. Not finding the Pri-
mate in the Chamber, he left in search
Of him and presently returned with the
following assurance which he delivered
in the form of a speech
It's all right, my lords, I've seen
the Archbishop, and he says he'll see its
promoters damned to hell before he will
vote for the -- bill.,o
Such, it appears. was the terrific for
mula which the royal Duke had from
mere force of habit translated the
blameless Archbishop's words, and it
tition by Mr. Gladstone was almost
startle his MISUNDERSTANDING.

GEORGE ". CABLE READS
Tells Creole Stories to the
Ladies Aid Of the Ber-
gen Reformed Church.

The first of the lecture lecture course of
Renaissance, under the auspices of the La
dies Aid Society, of the Bergen Reformed
Church, was given in the chapel of that
church last evening. 1t consisted of read
ings, by George w. Cable, from his own
books. DR.. Cornelius Brett presented Mr..
Cableto the large audience and spoke of the
honor they received in having Mr.. Cable
with them.
"CREOLE DAYS.n
Mr.. Cable is a small man with a thin,
weak voice, which is at times %trelnulous.
He had no notes of any kind, but told several
of his stories Of ssCreole Days. with a dra-
matte fervor which somewhat surprised the
audience. He, perhaps, rendered best the
story of the meaning of the winds, which is
that a little girl stayed out one night after
shutdown, and was lost in the woods. Her
grandmother sought her, but never found
her and on wild nights the big roaring wind
is the voice of the grandmother, still seeking
the little child, while the echolng wind IS the
voice of the child calling always from a dis
lance. Mr.. Cable seemed to know that
story better than the others and told it with
much real feeling, SO that few could help
feeling sorry for the little girl lost in the
woods. Mr.. Cable initiated tie winds ex-
cellently.
Mr.. Cable has a way, probably caused by
momentary loss of memory, of stopping in
the midst OF a dramatic sentence and feeling
for a word, the while waving his hand
wildly in the air as if trying to catch the
elusive word. When this occurs, which fer
tunately is but seldom, it has the effect of
suddenly bringing the audience with a
thump to earth again from the heights
which they nave reached while following the
imaginative little talks
A NURSERY LOVE SONG.
Mr.. Cable told a nursery love song of a
spauvre petite fille'' who had not as much
hnery as her rival, ending by singing the
song as the Creoles do. He closed the even
ing's entertainment by a comparatively long
story of Parson Jones and the confidence
nah, Jules st. Ange It is now a well
known story but it gained, rather that lost,
by Mr.. Cables rendering of it. The pathetic
and boisterous scenes were alike well given
and the workings of conscience in the conf
dence man which finally led to the exquisite
end were admirably portrayed.
The next lecture of the course will be

Death of the Hero of a Thousand
Nurseries.
The last of the clowns has cracked his
last joke, and Drury Lane pantomine,
says the t'Lady's Pictorial" will no
more know the CHEEKY Here we are
again!' of poor Harry Payne, who was
gone over to the majority. For five
and-twenty years the jovial tones of the
excellent man who died on Friday of
last week, nave heralded what to the
juvenile section of the audience has al
ways been, and probably always will be,
an enjoyable part of the pantomine. And
now the last of the good old school of
clowns is no more. Christmas will come,
with, it may be, it's snowy streets, its
turkey and plum pudding, its merry
parties, it's pantomime- but, alas!
Harry Payne, the hero of a thousand
nurseries. will no longer make the little
ones crack their sides as he perpetrates
the good old traditions of joey Grimaldi,
of Harry Boleno, of Tom Matthews, all
of whom were content with the same
old business of sausage stealing, police
mai batting, pantaloon buffeting and
general rollicking, mischievous horse
play which, strange to say, seem to be
a clowns natural vocation, and there
fore most natural and amusing. The
clowns career OF petty crime and auda-
clouS Impudence is so frankly make
believe that children o at it, n
the painted face, the red and white
dress. the comical wig, are all so many
items in the great feast of fun, just as
are the dilapidated eswell,s the ill-used
milkman and the property" fish and
trays of meat. the warming pan and the
baby, to say nothing of the red-hot
poker. which is to the clown as is the
sceptre to the king.
Harry Payne, who gave pleasure in his
time to hundreds of thousands of chill
dren, and who loved the little people
with all his heart, was a bachelor, and,
like so many "old bachelors" a soft
hearted, genial, KINDLY soul as ever
breathed, and as popular in his private
capacity with "grown-ups'' as he was
with his war-paint on with the small
folk. 1t may well nave been that the
hearty response of the little ones to his
efforts to please them first begat tbs

ELECTRIC LIGHTS FOR TIGERS,

A sportsman of Calcutta a employed
the electric light with success in hunting
tigers by night among the jungles of the
Sunderbunds. 1t is usual to set a bait
for the tiger-for instance, the body
of a COW or other animal-and watch
for him from a raised platform or
machan close by. Instead of the blue
light heretofore burned to illuminate the
tiger in order to aim we'll, the gentleman
in question has rugged up a sixteen candle
power electric lamp. fed by a portable
battery of thirty earpo-fared cells, carried
his belt. The lamp, fitted with a refiec-
tor, is sustained from a tree over the bait.
A switch beside the hunter enables him
to start the light when the tiger Is en-
gagged in d~evouring his prey.-London

CAMDEN. Oct. %. 1~Ss5.-Francis I.
Gowen, receiver of the South Jersey
Railroad, is taking radical measures
to reduce the running expenses of that
road. This is shown in the new passen-
gen schedule, which went into effect on
the 24th inst. The company now en-
ploys but one passenger train crew and
one freight train crew. Only one pas
senger train is run each way between
Cape May n Camden, up in the morn

rect connection between Camden and
Sea Isle City, n a person desiring to
make the trip must leave Camden at
AIS P. M, and lie over at Tuckahoe
until 3:45 P. M. the next day. Direct

tional train crew, which the present fl
nance of the company will not allow.

this county will be anywhere from 5,o0

about 1900: the North Hudson towns,
from 1880 to 1000; Harrison and Kearny
a net Democratic advantage of 200 to
800. and Bayonne from 500 to 700. Jersey
City is safe to contribute 600 majority,

ATLANTIC CITY. Oct. %, 1Ss5.-In an
opinion endered by City Solicitor Endi-
colt the City Council was informed last
night that it could not repeal the local
franchise of the Camden and Atlantic
Railroad for laying new rails without
complying with the Councils demand to
pave half of Atlantic avenue. The opin-
State charter could not be ~disfranchised
by a city body, but that its failure to
comply with its ordinances simply ex-
posed it to proceedings to establish for
fixture of its privileges.
