Baker,. and Free Lunch.

If there is a class OF people in Buffalo
at the present time who are in hard luck
it is the employing bakers. The number
Of firms engaged in this business according
to the city directory of 1895 was 1s1. and
a few Of the establishments that are very
large are said 10 possess great advantage
over the little ones. N various ways. The
bakers who are employed in the shops are
said to have contemplated going out on
strike this spring. but there may be no ex-
cuse left for them to do so after the Raines
bill gets in its deadly work and greatly
diminishes the demand for black bread,

add to this 'Pandora's box" of bakers

money, find the bakeries the most inviting

Darlington Booths statement Of the
causes that led to his withdrawal from
the Salvation Army will win for him
more sympathy and confidence than ever
among Americans. The affair involves
so many personal and family matters
that his delay in stating his case is suffi-
GENTLY explained. but in justice to him
self and his friends it could no longer be
postponed. His position has been diff
cult one, and it is evident that he put
himself in opposition to his father with
the greatest reluctance and only under
the pressure of strong conviction. With
all his executive genius and power to
command men, because of the long ex-
ercise of this power General Booth, 1t
is plain to see, has grown to be exceed
ingly dictatorial and fails in adaptive
ability. Moreover, he is British, with all
the insular prejudice common to the
race, and his pious desire to regenerate
mankind cannot overcome his dislike of
Americans. When he found that his son
had become an American citizen, not
only in legal form but in spirit. he was
offended, and nothing Ballington and his
wife could have done thereafter would
have been likely to please him. Either
continual friction or separation was in
evitable, and it was far better that the
latter should come. No doubt the Saliva
ton Army will continue to do good work
in this country along the old lines. but
there is room enough for the Volunteer"
ing their ground, will be sure to achieve
success.

With the passage of the pension act Of

With the passage Of the pension act of
1890 the necessity for legislation to re-
lieve individuals ceased to exist except
in rare instances. yet it is complained
that all the pension legislation is Of that
character. This is partly due to the
present administration of the pension
laws and the rejection of SO many cases.
Any case which has not been presented
to the Pension Bureau should not be pre-
scented to Congress simply because the
applicant can obtain the assistance of a
member of Congress. In Indiana to-day
there are many persons who deserve pen
sions and have none, or who deserve
more than they receive. On the other
hand, scores of men are drawing pen
sions which they should not have, OF
larger than they deserve. through the in
tervention of Congressman.

Forty Dollars n Pound For DOGS.

Forty dollars pound was paid by a
wealthy New Yorker for two small dogs
of new and fashionable breed. Every
dog has its day. Toy black and tans,
hideous dwarf pugs and striped skyes
have had theirs And now the Boston
terrier is strutting his brief hour. His
class was a striking feature of the re-
cent dog show, and at the close of the
exhibition Mr.. M. G. d. Borden, an en-
thusiastic amateur dog fancier, pur-
chased for So, 900 the prize winning pair
in the Boston terrier class, Commission
er II and Champion Tipsy. Inasmuch as
Commissioner III or his mate will tip the
scales at 20 pounds, this is perhaps the
highest price yet paid, comparatively
speaking, for purely pet dogs. The Bos-
ton terrier is the fad of the hour, being
even in higher favor than the collies,
for which some extravaganza values are
claimed. They are cross between the
bulldog and the English terrier, make
excellent house dogs, are bright looking
and intelligent and seem to combine all

and courage peculiar to the strains from
which they came They are, as rule,

Discovery Of q Dreadful Plot.

Some excitement has been caused in
church circles by the discovery of Sc
cret society at Cambridge whose object
is to convert the undergrads to extreme
high church views. The society calls
itself the Companions Of st. John, and
it is said that the members have to take
an oath not to disclose the fact of mem
bership to any one. One of the religious
papers has ferreted the matter out and
seems to be greatly perturbed at its dis
covery. So far the Companions of st.
John do not appear to have done any
thing dreadful, and if it amuses them
to play at being secret society l do not
see that it matters very much to any
one. If the paper in question had dis
covered popish plot against the crown,
it could hardly have made more fuss. -

A Touch of Nature.

An American clergyman, whose dream
it had been to visit England, crossed the
ocean at last for his ten weeks vaca-
ton. For fortnight he enjoyed going
about alone from place to place, seeing
the sights, but he soon became lonely
and then homesick One Saturday morn
ing he started out for a long walk, hay
ing no plan for the mornings recrea-
ton. He penetrated far into the wide
reaches of the east end. There were
crowds Of men, women and children
wherever he went, but not face that
he had ever seen before or would ever
see again. Turning from the buster
streets he found a narrow lane and sat
down on the stone step of a dreary tene-
ment house.
While he was sitting there he heard
a child's sobbing voice from the open
hallway behind him. Looking around
he saw little urchin crying as though
his heart would break. "What is the
matter, my little fellow" asked the
clergyman in his gentlest tone. Home
sick, sir. =" said the child. 'Since moth
er died 1 have had no home. don't
seem to belong to anybody. Iwant some
one to talk to-. well, lad, there are
two of us. am very lonely too " "But
haven't you home anywhere?' Eyes,
but it is long way off, across the sea.
"Why don't you go back to it? If only
had home, would never leave it. !"
The lonely minister, who had found
his vacation in the awful solitude of
London unutterably depressing, did not
have an answer ready. But his heart
went out to the homeless little waif.
He took the child out of the empty
house, obtained decent clothes for him at
a charitable institution, paid board for
him at a lodging house, and finally car
ried him to America at the end of the
vacation. San Francisco Argonaut
