ExtraVAgIlt Gs4rylanO.
There was a sITt Cf i~htoxication in
the very atmosphere ,f Paris, Q fever of
enjoyment-a passion for constant
amusement, for constant excitement,
and among women fer extravaganza in
dress. This was encouraged By the
court, with the intention Of giving al
impetus to trade and cf gaining pcpu-
larity by favOring constant festivities,
and consequently constant expense. In
the days of Louis Philippe there had
been great moderation i'll all matters Of
luxury; the king and queen wSrc aged,
sensible and economical; the young
princesses were kept within rigid bounds
by example above them. But when the
emperor came to the throne, after q
period Of revolution and consequent
commercial stagnation, he wished to
revive trade, and also to giuc the pres
tige Of splerdor to u court which 50
many did not seem to take in earnest.
His beautiful, wife. suddenly raised to
q supreme position for which nothing
in her previous life had prepared her,
finding what seemed unlimited mean
within her reach, keenly enjoyed the
possibility OF procuring everything that
pleased her, and enhanced her remark
abls personal attractions by all the ad-
vantages Of exquisite toilet without con
sideratiOn Of cost.
Everything that she wore suited her
admirable others tried to initiate her,
and the general tone became raised. She
had the art Cf constantly choosing m
thing new and unusual, which attracted
attention, so Hiat, instead Of being sat
isfed with conventional types Of silks
and >satins, which formerly had been
considered sufficient for all occasions,
every Il tried to invent something diff
fercnt from others and to improve upon
what had been seen before. Consequent
ly, not only in dress, but in all matters
Of taste and luxury, there was an eager
struggle to Outvie other3 to reach a
higher degree Of splendor, and extrava-
gallce became universal. Paris was a
sort Of fairyland, where every enc
seemed rich and happy. What lay IN
derneath all this would not bear close

all kinds which too often were needed

Luck.

There is no such thing as luck, u
said Colonel North once. Everybody
in this world has chances-yes, every
body, from the working collier who
strikes a seam of coal which was never
thought Of by the mining engineer to
the c~olliery proprietor who gets infor-
nation regarding that seam and re-
solves to work it. What people call
luck simply means that a man sees his
chance, holds on to it and at the right
moment works it for himself. Luck!
Nonsense! Luck is simply the faculty
of Selling passing opportunities"

The schwindt FuneraI.

The funeral of John H. Schwindt, the
victim of Theodore Eisenhower, took place
yesterday afternoon from the family resi-
dence ON East Apple alley. The attendance
was very large. The Trinity Reformed
church, on West Lloyd street. where the
funeral services were held, failed to accom-
modate the crowd, in which there were many
people who forced their presence through
mere curiosity and very much embarrassed
the mourners. Large delegations of Major
Jennings Council No. 1857 and Shenandoah
Valley Council No. $50, Jr. o. U, A. NJ,
were in attendance. The deceased was a
member Of the former organization. Rev.
Robert O'Boyle, pastor of the Trinity Re-
formed church, and Rev, John Bath, pastor
of the Primitive Methodist church, off
ciated at the cemetery. Hundreds Of people
viewed the remains at the residence and in
the church. Interment was made in the
odd Fellows cemetery The pail bearers
were William Rennie, Joseph Lee, George
Brumm Idas Eisenhower, David Simmons
and David Brooks. John Roberts was the
funeral director.

If Hon. Hannis Taylor, the United
States minister to Spain, had gone to the
opera last evening he would certainly have
had very unpleasant time Evidently
some persons thought he had done so, for
they were waiting outside the Opera House
after the performance was over, and had
organized hostile demonstration with
which to greet Mr. Taylor. But the United
States minister did not attend, as was ex-
pccted he would do, and so the hostile
demonstration came to nothing.
The government has issued an order
prohibiting the various demonstrations
which have been planned by students.
This order applies rs well to all similar de-
monstrations.
1t is understood that the Spanish min.
lister in Washington, Senor Dupuy de

matte representations to the United States
government regarding the action of the

EvANaEL1cAL CONFERENCE.
The Attack Made by Bishop Bowman
Resented.

SHAMoK1N, March 2.-The conference held
here by the United Evangelical church is
largely attended. The usual routine of
business was enlivened somewhat by the
attack Bishop Bowman made upon Rev. c. S
Haman. The Bishop was extremely caustic
in his remarks and seemed to have considcra-
ble i'll feeling for Rev. Haman particularly,
whom he characterized as a traitor and said
that if business men would resort to the
methods employed by Rev. Haman they
would be branded as sharpers and scamps
Previous TO the break in the church Rev
Haman had been for more than twenty years
presiding elder in the conference, and, as
consequence, he and Bishop Bowman were
closely allied in church work. When the
trouble arose Bowman united with the
Esher faction, as is well known, while Rev.
Haman remained loyal to Bishop Dubbs.
At the Allentown conference, in 1891, Rev.
Haman was made chairman of the body, the
time Bowman made the unsuccessful attempt
to get in. His position at the head of that
Conference made Rev. Haman the particular
object of the venomous assaults of Bishop
Bowman. Rev. Haman maintains the posi-
ton, and rightfully, that what he did was
from pure motives and with a good conscience
The new church was dedicated yesterday,
at which Bishops Dubbs and Stanford par
ticipated, and the former delivered power
full sermon.
The debt on the new church amounting to
S25, ,000 was reduced to 81, 500 by collections
1t was decided not to divide the district,
aud the presiding elders now serving were
reappointed.
A committee was appointed to raise SIS, 900
