A. FALSE TEACHING.

That Mans Chief End Is to Cruelty spon-
taneity on the Cross of Drudgery.
The Rev. Charles II. Parkhurst writes
of "The Young Man at Play" in The
Ladies' Home journal. He asserts that
81 it is play rather than toll that is most
germane to our true nature and that
lies closest to the divine intention. The
care needing to be exercised as to the
quality Of our amusements must never
be construed into a verdict against
amusements in themselves considered.
With most of us the play impulse stands
far more in need of encouragement than
it does Of restriction. The proverb, 1t
is better to wear out than to rust out
is true in form, but false in spirit The
flowers do not wear out, but neither do
they rust out
Zone reason why so many people are
asking whether life is worth living is
that we are teaching ourselves that
mans chief end is TO Struggle and to
cruelty spontaniety ON a cross Of drudg-
cry. We are not arguing for Incidence.
Incidence is as distinct from play as a
pool is from mountain brook. But
we shall be greatly disappointed in heav-
en- if it does not give a great deal of
opportunity for energy to issue in ac-
tivity that takes no thought and is a JOY
to itself, and an experience that will
be sanity in heaven can hardly with
reason be criticised as limp and puerile
if INDUCED in before we enter heaven. |"

He Got Judgment.

A Washington attorney is rather
noted for the facility with which he
forgets financial obligations. He has
owed a certain grocer IS for a year OF

cluded to try new course with him.
Meeting him in his store, he said
Judge, / have customer who owes
me small bill and has owed it for a
long time. He makes plenty Of money,
but won't pay. What would you doi"
'I'd sue him, said the lawyer en-
phatically.
"Well, l will put the account in
your hands," and the merchant pre-
sented a statement of the account
against himself.
'All right. / will attend to it, said
the disciple of Blackstone.
A few days later the merchant re-
ceived the following note from the law
yer:
''In the case of - against -
took judgment for full amount Of your
claim. Execution was issued and re-
turned mo property found My fee fol-
obtaining Judgment is $40, for which
amount please send check Will be GLAD

DECAYED INTELLECTUAL OYS-
TIERS.
To the Editor OF the Evening Journal.
Sir: The following decayed intellec-
tual oysters increased the bulk of my
mail this morning. / have just sent for
the Board of Health to have the stuff
removed: Archbishop Ireland has de-
nounced Organism as a dangerous po-
litical heresy, and is sustained by the
most eminent of American Catholic au-
thorities" Comment: The archbishop's
denunciation is founded upon his own
personal opinion, and is worth just as
much as the arguments advanced to
sustain it. Next REV. Father Fal-
Ion says he would rather vote for his
Satanic Majesty than to vote for any
phase of Organism" Comment: If
Rev. Mr.. Fallon was as industrious in
the spiritual affairs of his church as is
his Satanic Majesty in Delaware poll
tics he would thereby give a quid pro
quo for the salary which he collects in
honest silver. How shall Catholics
vote? Intelligently and conscientiously
as they always did. RUSTICUS.

PROBABLY A ROORBGCK.

TELEGRAM FROM WILMINGTON
ABOUT A CONDITIONAL CON
TRACT BY A LOCAL FIRM.
The Philadelphia Record yesterday
morning published the following news
article dated from Wilmington: "The
Harlan and Hollingsworth Company
II is said, has made a conditional con-
tract to build a ship, the wage pay
ments on account of which would be
100000 The condition is that II
Bryan is elected the contract is to be
Cancelled"
An Evening Journal reporter called
at the Harlan and Holllngsworth Com
pany's plant this morning 10 ascertain
il there were any truth in the story, or
whether it were simply campaign
roorback.
He was unable to find anyone about
the plant who knew anything OF any
such contract, and from the facts at
present known, il seems that it was a
"a fake" campaign story, sent out to
make Mckinley votes.
The company has at present more
work, which will soon be started, than
at any time for some years back, but
none OF the contracts concerning any
thing OF the work make any reference
to the election, 50 far as could be
learned.
The Harlan and Hollingsworth Com
pany has in course of construction the
big Philadelphia and Reading railroad
tug and the West Shore railroad ferry
steamer, besides which il has two steam
pilot boats to build.

to place the votes received by James
G. Shaw, ST., on the Union Republican
ticket, and James G. Shaw, on the reg

men until the courts order otherwise.
This means that Mckinley will not get

gets those, as the James G. Shaw, Sr.,
