The Humane Society benefit at the Opera
House last evening was fattering sue

ence was large and fashionable. There
were very few vacant seats down stairs or
in the balcony. Those who anticipated
creditable production Of the three one

the evening. were not disappointed. They
were: "Cut OF With a Shilling "A Game

ence. They were presented in manner
which would have reflected credit upon
more pretentious Thespians, and the audi
ence was not slow TO manifest its APP
probation.
Mr.. J. p. Morgan took the 'old man
parts" and his work left nothing to be
desired. His voice is admirably adapted
to these roles. Mr. T. T. Franzheim ap-
peared as Mr.. Honeyton' and the "Chev-

the part in which his talents We're dis

Speaks or the Reports Concerning His
Standing in Rome.
St. Paul. Mimi, November 16.-Arch-
bishop ireland has heretofore adhered
firmly to his first decision not TO speak
OF the repeated rumors (purporting to
come from Rome) stating in one way or
another that he was to be called to
account for some of his views or ac-
lions. An Associated Press represen-
tatiye succeeded to-day in getting from
him the following statement:
In all the reports recently publish
ed as to my relations with the Vatican
there is not one syllable Of truth.
Not one word has come 10 me from
Rome. indicating the smallest change
in the kind of feelings which the Sow
ereign Pontiff and his immediate ad-
visers have been pleased 70 entertain
toward me- IL is false 10 say that /
have been summoned to Rome. l have
not been asked 10 give an explanation
of any act. or any writing of mine.
And. certainly, if the Sovereign Pom
tiff had desired 10 approve or 10 blame
me ne would have communicated his
will TO myself. instead Of making il
known to me through the gossip Of
newspaper reporters Of Europe or Am
erica. What may be the sources Of the
reports or the motive Of the men who
out these reports into circulation
whether the enemies be political or &C.
clesiastical-I do not know, or do l
care TO enquire.
THE Roman paper quoted in this

malicious adversary of the Vatican
and surely cannot be quoted as repre-
senting the views Of the Pope Wheth-

cussed at present The absurdity Of all

TWO GOOD STORIES.

At the Republican Rally at Mont
pelier recently, Congressman Linney
and Thurston told the following
stories:-
Congressman Linney in bringing his
forcible speech to a close told of a
preacher in his State whose pulpit
was to be filed one Sunday by a
younger minister. Said the young
man: ct am going to stir somebody
up tomorrow and [ think I will scorch
the gamblers" He was entreated by
the elder not to do it because the most
liberal contributor to church expenses
made his money at horse races.
"Then," said the younger man, II
will scorch the rumsellers." Again
he was entreated not to do it because
the second most liberal man in the
church belonged to that class. "Well
then" said he, "who can I touch up?"
Said the old man s'Pitch into Judas
Iscariot and give him hell. He hasn't
a friend in town." Said Congress
man Linney: 81 have been pitching
into free trade, because I knew it had
not friend in the Staten
The other story was told by Senator
Thurston. In beginning his speech
he said that Congressman Linney was
a hard man to follow, as he found out
one day last year. He happened to be
driving in Mr.. Linney's district and
stopped at farm house for drink of
water It was furnished by a pretty
little girl and he asked her whether
she knew Mr.. Linney. 80 yes," she
replied, che was here only last week.
He is very nice man." Mr.. Thurs
ton said he desired to leave as good an
impression as Mr.. Linney did, and SO
gave the girl astick of candy, at the

same time saying "Mr. Linney didn't
give you any candy, did he?' go yes,
he did ,, was the reply, "Mr. Linney
is splendid man, he gave me whole
pound.u Mr.. Thurston then gave her
a dime. remarking "Mr. Linney didn't
give you that, now, did he?" ''No,"
was the reply ,"but MI. Linney is such
a fine man, he gave me bright new
half dollar.n "The situation was get
ting desperate" continued Senator
Thurston; 81 felt that something
must be done; SO taking the sweet
little thing up in my arms (she was
about IS years of age) kissed her and
said: "Mr. Linney didn't do that, did
he?o 49," said she, "Mr .Linney is such
a lovely man; he kissed me and he
kissed ma, too"

Sells Her Skin at Dollar an Inch.

A young woman living on Mission
street makes living by selling her skin
for grating purposes. A year ago she
first contributed little skin to friend
who was in need of whole hide, and,
finding that she could stand the pain
and that her skin was particularly
healthy, she concluded to profit by it.
She sent letter to nearly every ply
stefan and surgeon in this city and Oak
land. calling their attention to the fact
that she had healthy Skin for SALE
Since then the young woman has had
all the orders she could fill at very rea-
sonable rates. She charges 81 a square
inch, and usually parts with 20 to 80
square inches at time. Altogether she
has had nearly seven square feet of her
skin removed from her body, and has
now got around to the second growth.
She is probably the only woman Oh
earth who has been flayed alive. San

Lax Social Customs.

Don't let US say that we wouldn t
trust our daughters and our sons any
where. Let us keep our faith whole and
unbounded in them. but do let us revise
our ideas little as to what is right
and proper in our social customs. If our
social custCsSs were not so lax, if
young girls were not left alone with
young men SO often and for so long a
time, there would be few daughters of
respectable homes go astray. Mothers
cannot longer close their eyes to this
question; the souls of their daughters
are in their hands, and they owe it to
themselves, to their daughters and to
society to throw every possible protec-
ton around them. -Womankind.

Strong awarded the prize to the writer
of the following letter: 'The best and
most contented wife is one who has

through every stage of mental and phys

practical standpoint of experience in

of it; whose contact with the outside

through earning enough of a salary,
perhaps, to partially satisfy her tastes
for the beautiful in lifeein art or study,
is allowed no time for anything but an
Unsuitable longing Sor the same. To
such woman the care and protection

4 GREAT INDUSTRY.

The most phenomenal feature of
the industrial landscape just at pres
ent is that offered by the wonderful
growth of bicycle manufacturing Ac
cording the st. Louis Globe Democrat,
the only bicycle patents now in force
are those covering specialties. APP
proximately 1000 "makes'' of wheels
are at present produced in the United
States. Some, very few, of the great
establishments, where nearly 1O0,00
mounts are placed on the market an
nually, themselves manufacture near
ly every part which goes into the
construction of the machine. But the
vast majorities of factories purchase
nearly every part from some special
source, machining the drop forgings,
and fitting and finishing the partly
prepared material. Ten thousand dol
lars, machine dealer informed one
writer would equip such a factory,
while a bicycle dealer stated that
So, 900 would suffice for good start
One master mechanic is needed. With
UuO St0duy anu UTOInOuUOuS O0mdQQ
for wheels, and the prices at which
they continue to be listed, the incen-
tive to launch into the business of
bicycle making is showing it's results
in the marvellous increase in the num-
Der of factories, and in the capacity
of those that are established About
100000 wheels will be placed upon
the market, and probably sold, this
spring and summer, representing an
outlay by wheelmen of over $5O,OOO,-
900.
In addition to this, with the train of
laborers, designers, and skilled me-
chanics, one must consider the i'm
petus given to advertising and to the
printing business by the increase of
bicycling industry. Taken altogether,
the manufacture of wheels probably
exerts beneficial force over a great
er industrial area than any other
branch of production.
