The herald., 1896-03-08

The elaborate and very beautiful whist
party given Friday afternoon by Mrs.
Maurice Hellman in honor of Mrs. A.
Haas. as farewell before her departure
for San Francisco, was one of the society
events of the week. Mrs. Max Meyberg
won the first prize, handsome statuette.
The second was received by Mrs. Levin, a
cut glass vase. The house was radiant
with red, pink and yellow blossoms, dis
tributed with such artistic taste rs to pro-
duce pleasing and harmonious effect.
The drawing-room was dainty in green,
with touch here and there of pink carna
tions. net work, interviewer with smilaX
and carnations, hung in the archway, with
graceful loops caught up at intervals.
Everywhere over the room were trails of
smilax, making soft and pretty finish to
the ghole. The game was enjoyed in here,
and the artistic score cards, as well as the
decorations, were done by Mrs. Annie
Bancroft The former we're large clover
leaves, tied with green ribbon and bearing
the guests name in rustic let
ters. On each leaf was single
spade, diamond, club and heart The hall
was a miniature forest of plants and palms,
the balustrade was a solid mass of mag
nolia leaves and ~gainst its dark green
surface bright poinsettas stood out in bold
relief and great clusters of these hung over
pictures, and completing its charming i'm
preston was an immense bow of red satin
ribbon nesting among the green on the
balustrade. The tempting viands in charge
of Christopher were served at large
square table, in the middle of which
stood cut glass bowl overfiowing with
jonquils; candelabra yellow-shaded stood
at either end and midway between we're
large French bows of yellow-satn ribbon.
A small cut glass vase stood at each place.
these were filled with jonquils and tied
with yellow ribbon the long streamers
turned in and out among the green
which produced dainty combination.
These handsome GOuvenirs will be
reminders to the guests of the charming
affair. Yellow Marguerites and jonquls
stood on the buffet and surmounting the
whole was a netting interviewer with
smilax. and the yellow blossoms that
swung from the chandelier to the four cor
ners of the room. In corners and places
of vantage stood plants. and in all the
rooms soft crepe shades corresponding
with the color scheme covered the lights.
Mrs. Hellman was assisted by Miss He'll

PERPETUAL MOTION.
A Mt. Carmel Citizen Thinks He Has Discoy.
cred the Secret.

Lewis Carl, Of Mt. Carmel, who has
labored over and studied the brain ex-
haustlng subject of perpetual motion
during the past thirteen years, now
feels confident that he has at last
solved the puzzle that has heretofore
baffled all inventors, and he has for
warded working model of his ma
chine to the patent authorities at
Washington.
The model consists of an elliptical
track of parallel brass bands, over
which two steel tempered balls are ex-
pected to make up and keep a con
tinuous course. On one side the
track dips with the movement Of a
lever from the weight of the ball as it
comes upon it, and this up and down
action provides the opportunity of
transmitting power to any machine by
the ratchet principle. The ball that
tips over the long end of the lever
raises the second ball on the other
end to an elevation on the track
whence it derives its own energy of
motion from gravity.

WOMEN CAPTURE THE MAYOR.
They, Hold Him Till He Promises 10 Reform
the Morals Of His City.

Forty women, leading members of
local clubs and church societies,
caught Mayor John V. Stern, of St.
Joseph, Mich, on the street and,
dragging him into a private house,
demanded that he cooperate in a
movement of reform.
They cried that the laws were not
being enforced; that the sale of Gig
arettes was carried on with impunity !;
that young girls were being enticed
away, and that the saloon regulations
were ignored, and boys of all ages
were given liquor upon asking.
The mayor was kept a prisoner two
hours and did not escape until he had
promised to submit the matter to the
executive department of the city.
The women demanded the adoption
of the curfew bell, upon the ringing
Of which children of certain ages must
retire from the streets.

The M, E. Church,

The Rev. Dr. G. G. McCabe, cor
responding secretary of the Metho-
dist missionary society, furnishes some
interesting figures showing the growth
Of the Methodist church for eleven
years. According to the last reports,
the denomination had 2s,12o
churches in 1894, against 1874 in
1883. The valuation of church and
parsonage property was $126,I3a,s6I,
against $7o,a2S,oS5 in 1883, gain
of $45,o13,1a4 or more than one
third of the total accumulation of pro-
perty from the beginning. In 1883
the church membership was r,76o,-
534; in 1894 it was 2,7I5,I4s, a
gain Of o45,6II, or over one-third of
the whole numb er.

The Facts in the Case.

The oft repeated declaration that
1t is far safer to travel on the railroad
than to remain in yonr own house, is
regarded by many people as a mere
figure of speech, but it is a sober fact
nevertheless. The records show that
only one person out of aS,ooo,ooo
who ride on the English railroads is
killed annually. In France the ratio
is one in 10000, 900; in Germany
one in 100000. The United
States is low down in the list, the
average being one out of every
100000. In safety in railroading
we fall behind the careful me thods Of
most countries of Europe and still
have much to learn.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1896-05-07

The advantages of the local news
paper are thus set forth by minister,
who evidently knows exactly what he
is talking about: Your local paper
tells you to go to church, to county
court, and when to send your children
to school, or anywhere else you may
want to go. 1t tells you who is dead,
who is sick, who is married, who is
born, and many other things you
would like to know. 1t calls attention
to public enterprise, advocates the
best law and order in the town. 1t
records the marriage of your daughter,
the death of your son, the illness of
your wife. 1t sets forth the advan-
tages of your town and invites immi-
grafton, and is the first to welcome
new comers. Yet, in spite of all these
benefits, some people say the home
paper is not half as good as some
other paper that has no interest in
their business or success. The home
paper is too often neglected by those
who benefit by it.

After meals you should have simply
a feeling of comfort and satisfaction.
You should not feel any special indi-
cations that digestion is going on. If
you do, you have Indigestion, which
means n0t-digestion. This may be the
beginning of so many dangerous dis
eases, that it is best to take it in hand
at once and treat it with Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial For you know that
indigestion makes poison, which
causes pain and sickness. And that
Shaker Digestive Cordial helps di-
gestion and cures indigestion. Shaker
Digestive Cordial does this by pro-
viding the digestive materials in which
the sick stomach is wanting. 1t also
tones up and strengthens the digestive
organs and makes them perfectly
healthy. This is the rationale Of its
method Of cure, as the doctors would
say. Sold by druggists, price 10 cents
to $500 per bottle.

Armor Plated Boys.

1t is important in these days that
America should have armor plated
boys.
A boy needs to be ironclad on:
His lips-against the first taste of
liquor.
His ears-against evil sentiments.
His hands-that they do nothing
wrong.
His heart-against irreverene and
doubt.
His feet-against going with bad
company.
His eyes-against dangerous books
and pictures.
His pocket-against dishonest
money.
His tongue-against impure words.
The Christian armor on her citizens
gives more security to the nation than
all the armor plate can on her
ships.-Ee.

Astonishing Suicide Of u Peddlcr's
IIard.WOrkcd Eutinc Scryitor,

Superior. Wis, May 22-Hundreds Of
employees in the yards of the Ameri-
can Steel company witnessed a singu-
lar occurrence. A bony, played-out
old bay horse walked into the shallow
water In the slip known as Howard's
Pocket and slowly moved farther out
into the deeper water, unmindful of
the shouts and missiles of the specta-
tors on the shore.
When In about three feet of the
water the poor animal cast one visit
full look around. and deliberately put
its head under the water and held 1t
there until life was extinct. In a short
time after this the owner. peddler,
appeared upon the scene and almost
committed suicide himself when he
learned of the astonishing deed of his
four-footed servant. The horse. II Is
said. had been poorly fed and over
worked.

timely batting the Browns beat the
Brooklyns. Dad" Clarke stopped the
Reds winning streak, they only secur-
ing five hits. Hawley indulged in an
other one of MS unaccOuntable wild
spells in the ninth inning, and after
Philadelphia had overcome good lead
and had enough runs left to win,
Hughey was substituted. 1t was Haw-
ley's fifth straight defeat, and enabled
Philadelphia to break a long losing
streak. Taylor was very wild in the
first inning, but recovered himself af-
ter that and pitched good ball.

BASE BALL GOSSIP.

Thomas r. Brooks. one of the Scran
ton club owners. returned yesterday
morning from his two days stay with
the team in Buffalo. In discussing To-
cal base ball matters, he said:
II have been told that we are accused
Of signing Arlie Latham as a drawing
card. Well. he will draw. but if 1t was
worth hundred an hour we never
would have negotiated with him If he
wasn't what we think he Is. strength
ening player. He fielded well for Gin
cinnati last year, hit $40 per cent. and
made 90 runs and stole As bases in 40
games. That looks as though he played
ball, don't IT.?
Rochester cannot interfere with us
in the Harper matter. Harper is
Brooklyn's property. and is loaned to
us. A National league club can do as
1t pleases with player, il he consents
to the arrangement so long as that
player beyongs to the club. If Harper
had been released by Brooklyn, then
Rochester would have first call on him.
There is no rule or part of rule to
show that National league club can
not place it's players where it pleases
in a minor league. When Harper is no
longer on the Brooklyn list. then Roch-
ester has a license to object, but not
until then"
