Lying.

ANY designed attempt to
deceive ia a lie. A falsehood
ia an untruth. All lies are
untruths, but an untruth is
not always a lie. as it may be
told ignorantly with no de-
sign to deceive. The follow
ing are among the poplar
and prevalent ways of lying
Statesmen misrepresent their
goods.
Dressing and pretending to
deceive as to form and feat
ureS.
Sending letters to others
under disguised names, or
being partner to such decep-
ton.
Processing religion for So
cial or financial advantages.
Processing holiness an d
practicing deceit. All of
these and their relative de-
ceptions are lies as really out
and out attempts to deceive.
I Whitewashed lies are dou
ble lies.
God says, "AIl liars shall
have their part in the lake
that burneth with fire and
birthstone"
Repentance, confession and
salvation is the cure and the
only cure for this crime a.
gainst God and man.
Multitudes hold on to a
dead profession, live deceived
and wake up in hell, because
too proud to confess and
abandon vice. M. W. Knapp.

To Ireland by Trunnel.

1t is expected to erect a

Scotland an6 Ireland from
the Null of Cantire to Tor
Point, in County Antrim, a
distance of only thirteen

these two points will cost
about $50, 900, with an
additional 100000 for
the gradings. A novel sug-

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

In view Of the officially es-
timated deficit in the pay.
ment Of pensions for the cur
rent fiscal year there. maybe
some err phatic talk on this
subject at the coming session
OF Congress. Lest some of
vour Republican readers
should say that this idea of
a pension deficit was concoct
ed by the Opponents Of the
administration, the follow
ing language used by H.
Clay Evans, Commissioner of
Pensions, is given: 81 esti-
mate that the total payment
for the year will not exceed
STAT, 100000, and the ap.
preparation for the year is

speaks of this probable defic-
it Of six and a quarter mil.
lions of dollars asindiffprent,

of purchasing a pint of pea.
nuts, and when his attention
was called to the probability
that the failure OF the new
tariff to produce the esti-
mated amount Vt revenue
might cause Congress to ob,
iect to passing a deficiency
pension appropriation bill
for this year, he gave away
the Republican plan for meet
ing such a contingency by
saying: eff there should be
an unexpected falling off in
revenue, the pension pay
ments might be curtailed to.

Every Wednesday and Saturday at 6 p. m. a train leaves Chicago over the famous Santa Fe route, which makes the run to Southern California in less than three days. This train is composed of Pullman palace vestibuled sleeping cars, buffet smoker and din- ing car of the most luxurious pattern ever designed.
 Another improvement in the Santa Fe service is in the time of the weekly tourist excursions, which now leave Boston every Thursday at 1130 a. nl, and reach California the following Tuesday. The cost of tickets is lower and the time faster via these excur- sions than via any other.
 The Santa Fe route is the only line running entirely over its own tracks from Chicago to California, and those who intend making a trip west will find it to their advantage to communicate with s. W. Manning, New England Agent of this line, at S32 Washington street, Boston.

DOUBLE WEDDING AT ST. MARY'E

DOUbLE w EDDlNI Al Sl. MARI ..
 Early yesterday morning St. Mary's Roman Catholic church was the scene of a double wedding. The brides were similarly attired and wore tailor-made gowns of cadet blue trimmed with black military braid and large hats of black velvet with feather and flower trimmings. Both brides carried large punches of white orchids.
 In attendance was Miss May Hogg- son of Brooklyn, a niece of the bride. The childs gown was a pretty pink China silk with lace.
 Rev. Father Fowler performed the ceremony. The couples united were Miss Elizabeth Y. Kennedy to MT, John P. Young, and Miss Agnes M. Kennedy to MT. John J. Dempsey of Brooklyn. At the marriage and break fast, which followed at the home of the brides mother, Mrs. K. Kennedy of 137 Dwight street, only the family were present, including Mrs. J. E. Hig- gins of Brooklyn, and Mrs. J. E. Hig- gins and Mrs. James Heaney. The newly welded couples left on an early train for a brief wedding trip, to in cIude New York, Washington and Rich mond. On their return MT. and Mrs, Young will reside at 137 Dwight street, and MT. and Mrs. Dempsey will take up their abode in Brooklyn, where MT. Dempsey's business interests are.
