The Anne Parish Club.

It is said that Anne Parish. Quaker spinster, born in 1760, founded the first woman's club in Philadelphia 102 years ago. The Federation of Clubs has been immortalizing Hannah Adams and hailing her as the pioneer elubwoman, but this story of Anne Parish will somewhat interfere with tho Hannah Adams theory Tho Anno Parish club was composed of 23 young women of excellent families, and they devoted themselves to philanthrcpic work They met every week and devised plans for relieving the sufferings and neeessities of the poor and afflicted The grand daughters and great granddaughters of the members of tho original society still carry OH the work Passing down through the oldest daughter, the present officers of the club are two clerks, a treasurer and an executive committee of I3 The membership supports a home, where nearly 100 old women who arc poor and needy go every day and read, sew, knit and darn and are paid for their labor and get wholesome meals as well

 Reginald Hanseomb stopped in the hall and nervously fumbled at the rim of his hat, meanwhile gazing into Pc cahontas Poindexter's eyes with fond ness that the beautiful girl could nos mistake.
 He opened his lips as if about fo speak, but tho words that he sought to utter would not come, and the fair maiden gave Q low, sweet sigh that was calculated to fill his heart with blowholes.
 Yet he stood there, and she stood in front of him, looking and longing and wondering why he hesitated.
 Once she was almost tempted to taho him back into the parlor and tell him that it was all right; that she knew how he felt about it, and that she would just take it for granted without the usual fermality. But her maiden modesty rose in rebellion, and she said to herself
 "No. If heis too timid, too oowardly. Co say tho words, it will perhaps be bet Ger for us both if we take diyerging ways
 Then, speaking aloud, she said:
 "Well, good night. Mir Hanscomb. f you must be going
 "Well, good night, he said. "I guess l must be going "
 "Well, good night, " she said again. holding the door open for him.
 "Well, good night. he said, passing out through the vestibule
 She shut tho door with a bang and sat down upon the stairway and buried her face ill her hands and sobbed.
 But half minute later she heard him returning. Hor heart gave glad leap, and she rushed to the door to ad- init him,
 He stood looking down into her sweet, expectant face for moment aft or the door had swung back, and then, clearing his throat, ho said:
 'Somo peslSy kid punetured my tire while was inside. I wonder if I could borrow your mending outfit for about two minutes?"
 No, she replied. My repairing outfit is up in tho attic, and I can't find it tonight Walk home. It'll do you good "
 Then sho slammed tho door in his face, and he tried to think--poor fool as he wonded his way homeward, what he had done to offend her. er.--Cleveland Leader.

The arrangement of braided or machine stitched straps and tabs of the dress ma serial is greatly varied this season.

 Seattle.

If there Is a city on our Pacific coaat which has q splendid future, that city is Seattle Wash. With harbor deep enough for the great merchant vessels, with climate unrivaled, with the rich est of resources, mineral and agricultur- al, behind her, apparently Seattle has nothing to do but to grow and speedily become a second Chicago. Every requi- site for the making of a magnificent city commerce, agriculture, mining and manufaoturing--are at her command.
 Moro than all just now is another ad- vantage. Seattle is the point of depar- ture for the thousands who go to Alaska and tho Klondike. That brings us to the point of our story. There are mutter= ings loud and deep against Seattle Reports are abundant in tho cast, even as far as the Atlantic states, that Seat tie is so grasping and extortionate i'll her rates for living and in her prices for miners outfits and provisions and i'll her carrying charges that sho is draw ing down a general cursing upon her head.
 It is to be hoped the stories arc not truo. If they are, then Seattle mer. chants, hotel men and public carriers are the champion idiots of the nine teenth century. Never had community nobler opportunity at once to be useful on wide scale and to become prosper ous through entirely legitimate chan nels, through trade mutually adyanta= geons to themselves and the stranger within their gates. Mutual advantage is tho only basis for real trade. Seattle should not so oyerreaeh herself, or she will quickly divert from herself the tre- mendous stream of migration which now flows her way and sink into insignifi- canoe. This very thing has been done before.
 If, on the other hand, tho stories are not true, Seattle should provo them false.

Now that Bishop Brown, the re- gently elected Coadjutor to the Bish. op of this Diocese, has accepted the trust, every churchman in Arkansas should give him his loyal support. Although Mr. Brown was elected by small majority, this is Q govern ment by the majority in matters Of Church as well as State, and the minority should acquiesce in the ex- pressed will of the majority. Bish- op Brown is saidl ito be an earnest Christian and zealous worker, and in his work he should have the hearty cooperation and support of every Episcopalean. Dissention and wordy communications are to be ex- pected in political affairs, but are highly improper and unbecoming in religious matters.

A Large Quantity

or drugs areimDOrted every year into this country and the frequency with which importatl0ns are made, makes it possible to buy drugs much fresher and stronger than used to be possible;not all drug gists, however, are anxious to take advantage of this because stale drugs are a little cheaper. Some druggists tell you they buy direct in large quantities, and buy enough at one time to last or 3years. Drugs, unlike whisky. does not improve with age.

VIII They Unload Him?
tNcw Orleans States.

To the question why he does not unload Hanna for the good of his administration and party, President Mckinley refuses to reply and he can be depended upon to maintain a clam-like silence to the end, but 1t is reported that great many Ohio Republicans are doing great deal of thinking, and there is some req son to hope that in the interest of their party they will do the unload ing without consulting the wishes of the President. In view of the power yielded by the national ad- mipistration, however. they will display great deal of backbone if they do it. In this connection the New York World declares that the anti Hanna faction can easily defeat tue big poodle boss for election if they have the nerve to undertake the fight against him in the legisla- ture, where there are twelve hepuo- lican members who are hostile to Hanna and have not yet decided whether they will go into a caucus and be bound by it's action. The World says, and very correctly, too:
 Why should they help elect Han na? What has he ever done for them? Has he not deserted, knifea or overridden them, according tohis interest or his mood? Is he fit for Senator? Will ore of these men venture to say that Hanna, the rough-riding, slave driving iron monger, who was never heard of in national politics unti. last year, is q worthy successor iii the Senate of John Sherman, Salmon F. Chase and Ben Wade?

As an offset to this en- larged issuance of bank notes, however, he would permit no such notes to bo printed of a smaller denomination than $1o, and he would require tho national banks to redeem their own paper in gold. This plan would take out of cir culation $75, 00o, GOO of S5 national bank notes to be replaced by those of the denominations of Slo and upward

The sentiment of justice ill the Amer ican people commends the public repri- mand administered to Captain Leonard A. Lowering of tho Fourth United States infantry for his brutal treatment of Private Hammond at Fort Sheridan. Private Hammond had gono away with. out leave from tho post where he was stationed in the east. Fearful of arrest as deserter, he soon after gave himself up at Fort Sheridan He expected to be sent back to his post He was put under arrest. He was also ordered to do some work, which he refused to perform on the ground that he was i'll Then Cap tain Lowering ordered him to go and do it anyhow. He refused and resisted the attempt to make him obey. Then he was tied with ropo, foreibly dragged out and kicked and punched with bayo- nets, Captain Lowering experimenting the performance.
