TWO GLASSES CONFIRMED.

One of 3S5 Members at St Patrick's
 and One of 200 Members at the Ital-
 ian Church by Bishop Tierney.
 A large class of 335 members was confirmed at St Patrick's church yes terday afternoon by Bishop Tierney. The congregation present was a large one being estimated at about 3,0O0 while large crowds were unable to gain admission, so crowded was the interior or the church. Bishop Tierney after the confirmation administered the pledge to the members of the class and spoke briefly. He said that small bands of pledge signers in different places would finally make a vast army of abstainers, which could do much good.
 Another class of 200 members was ordained at the Italian church on Wooster street at 10 o'clock in the af- ternoon. The bishop also administered the pledge there to the members of the class and to several older persons.
 Bishop Tierney assisted at high mass at 10 o'clock yesterday forenoon at St. Patrick's church and celebrated the [ o'clock service.
 There was special music for the day at St Patricks.

SECOND IN THE SERIES.
Prof. Brinton's Lecture on Religions
 At Osborn Hall To-Night

Prof. Brintons Lecture on Religions
 At Osborn Hall To-Night
 The second lecture of the series on "The Religions of Primitive Peoples will be given by Prof Brinton of Phil adelphia in Osborn hall at the univer- sity this evening at 8 o'clock. Its sub ject will be Primitive Religious Ex- pression in the Word" He will dis cuss the use of mystic terms, prayers and spells and of myths among prlm- itive people
 The first lecture was given to large audience. It defined primitive peoples to be those in the savage condition of culture; affirmed that every known people has real religion and suggested that religion originates as a kind of revelation through subconscious inn pressions made upon the human mind in various experiences such as those of dreaming, the observation of the difference between life and death, be- tween light and darkness, between mental and material realities, impress sions of vastness or exhibitions of great power, etc.
 The course proves to be both enter taining and instructive. Course tick cts may still be purchased at Judas or at the door for $1.50. A printed syllabus of the lecture will be distrib- uted this evening.

HOME FOR NEEDY CHILDREN
REY. C. ". HINCKLEY,S WORK 1T
 GOOD WlLL FARM.

Address at Davenport Church-The Small
 Beginning of the Home-The Work Car
 ried on by Faith.
 At the Davenport church yesterday morning Rev. G, W. Hinckley of East Fairfield, Me. spoke of his work for needy boys at Good Will farm a work supported by voluntary gifts.
 He spoke as follows from the text found in Psalm xxxvii 5: Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass"
 The story of the Good Will farm is simple story of Gods dealings.
 A few years ago when I was a boy in Guilford l used to dream that when I became man l would build house for boys who were in need of homes. I found as grew older that one or two things were necessary, either abundant resources myself or else friends who were able and willing to help. It was then that l turned to this verse in the
 thirty-seventh psalm and found hope and encouragement.
 l determined to do the most I could myself and take one poor boy and support him in my own home. Money was at last provided in vari- ous ways until I was able to purchase
 in 1889 125 acres of land on the banks of
 the Kennebec river in Maine and to
 build cottage which was soon occu- nin hxy ,et o1 fashioned family This was speedily followed by the erection and equip | ment of other cottages.
 A school building costing about $25,- 900, the gift of two sisters, was dedi- cated about year ago. This building accommodates about 130 scholars. The work in each cottage is under | the charge of one woman assisted by | the smaller of the boys of the cottage. The first money for the girls cottage
 was ten cents given by two boys of the farm, money which they had received for not breaking dishes for two weeks and from this fund there was accu mulated the fund to build a cottage fol girls.
 The school is under the control O 1 five trustees. The expenses are abou | $12,000 a year, which we have alway: been enabled to pay, although at time: | things have been dark, but God hal l given us deliverance.
 We receive boys not under seven ol | over fourteen years old. They must b. | of average intelligence and sound il l body, as our system is industrial. w
 receive no criminal boys, as it is. not { reformatory The boys go out iron Good Will farm as farmers, machin I ists and two have taken college ex | aminations.

THE GRAND ARMY.
And the Subject of Military Instruction in
 the Public Schools,

the Public Schools,
 The following notices have been sent out to the G, A, R, posts of the state: Headquarters Aide Military Instruc-
 tions Public Schools, Department
 Connecticut, G. A. R.
 Waterbury, Conn.,, Jan. 20, lS9I
 Comrades: Our representatives of the Grand Army of the Republic, in national encampment assembled, unan- imously voted to introduce military in- struction in the public schools of this union for the purpose of furthering the patriotic studies in the schools.
 States, as whole, and many Of the cities, boroughs, towns and school dis tricts in other states have adopted the same voluntarily. All those who have so adopted, speak in the highest terms of it, and none has departed from it.
 The scholars become obedient, prompt and self-relying, but not overbearing; they accept the instruction in all their other studies more readily, thereby pro- ducing better results physically and mentally for themselves, their teacher and for those who so nobly pay for their education.
 | These facts being established, is it not best for us as comrades of our Grand Army of this Republic to do all in our power to aid in this duty en- cumbent upon us, for it is a great, noble, patriotic and loyal work. It teaches this generation now in the schools to begin where We leave off, not to be aggressive, but to form a bull wark of safety to this. our country, the noblest on earth, and to be ready to defend it, if need be, against all az gressors.
 Comrades, talk this in your post rooms, talk it in your homes, talk it to your boards of education, school visit ors and members of the legislature, talk it whenever and wherever there is a chance to further the same, thereby 1 obeying one of the grand mandates of our beloved order, whose only aim in this is to make us always superior in the hour of need to those who would encroach upon this, the only real asy- lum of Gods oppressed the home of liberty and equal rights towards all mankind.
 Please give these circulars your earn est attention.

In the death of George B. Roberts, Philadelphia loses one of it's foremost citizens and the Pennsylvania railroad an official whose executive ability and practical knowledge has placed the road among the foremost of the mod ern railway systems of the world.
 Mir Roberts in character was plain man and sought little distinction and place in the social world, but devoted all his time and ability to the forward ing of the interests of the company with which he was identified. MT. Rob- erts' unostentatiousness firmness and
 justice endeared him to the employees of the company, and not since the great strike in Pittsburg in 1877 has there been any serious difficulty with the employees of the road.
 Mr. Roberts was descended from
 Welsh stock, and was born in 1883 near Philadelphia. He received q profess
 sional training in the Polytechnic h. stitute, Troy, N. Y. and immediately upon graduating entered the service of the Pennsylvania railroad. He began his career as a rodman in an engineer corps on the Alleghany Summit divis- ion, and in 1852 he had reached the po- sition of assistant engineer of the Phil adelphia and Erie railway.
 During the next teen years he was actively engaged in the location and construction of the various divisions of the Pennsylvania railroad in this state and New Jersey. In 1862 MT. Roberts was made assistant to President J. Ed gar Thomson, and in 1869 he was pro- noted to the position of fourth vice president Almost immediately after
 wards he was promoted to second vice l president.
 | On June 3. 1874, when the late Colonel
 Thomas A. Scott succeeded Mir, Thom-
 son in the presidency, MT. Roberts was advanced to the position of first vice
 president. June 1, 1880, Colonel Scott
 resigned the presidency, and MT. Rob
 erts was chosen for the head of the cor poration.
 | Since that time MT. Roberts has beer
 reelected annually and under his man.
 agement has seen the road grow Witf
 leaps and bounds until to-day it's rail
 way system is unsurpassed by any rail. road in the world.

A CHECK SWINDLER'S WORK.


 The police are looking for Frank Black, alias Jake Lowenthal. Last Tuesday night he purchased clock and some jewelry in J. H. G. Durant's store, and presented a check drawn in favor of Frank Black and signed "Greuner Brothers" The check was for $27, about twice the amount of his purchase.
 The young man behind the counter refused to take the check, saying that MT. Durant had issued orders to take no checks.
 Black said he was tailor, employed by Greuner Brothers, and that the check represented his weeks pay. He said that the clock and jewelry could be delivered at his home on Congress avenue, the next morning, and he would then pay for them.
 The goods were taken to the number designated the next morning, but no man answering Blacks description liv- ed at that number. The Greuner Brothers said that no such person was employed by them.
 Mr. Black next appeared at Ferry's bakery. He ordered s14 worth of cake, saying that he wanted it for wedding feast. and offered the check in payment, but Mir Ferry said it would be time enough to pay for the goods when they were delivered. The wagon load of cake was taken to 1O6 Temple street, where Black ordered the goods deliv- cred, but there was no wedding, and nobody named Black at 106 Temple street. Finally Black bought s worth of perfumery of Mrs. Knapp. on whom he passed a s10 worthless check, receiv- ing S7 in change. He then decamped.

Is the Sun burning Up?

Thousands Of curious and ingenious
theories have been advanced to account
for the effect that the sun, although he
has whirled his burning disk across the
heavens for untold ages, continues tc
burn without being consumed or his
bulk being lessened in the least. Some
of our most learned astronomers believe,
or pretend to believe, that the great orb
is ball of gas, but even great globe
of gas would be consumed to its utmost
atom in the course of few thousand
years. Others say that fires are kept up
by the burning of the remains Of wrecked
worlds which are constantly falling in
to its mysterious, burning depths. But
even this seems far from probable, and
those who take an opposite view declare
that it is a mOnstrously absurd Conclu-
sion. In summing up his opinion on the
last conclusion one of the most eminent
astronomers of the day has figured that
a mountain range consisting of 17d
cubic miles could fall into the sun and
yet not furnish fuel enough to keep ny
the present rate of heat for single sec.
ond, and that q mass equal to our earth
would only furnish heat for 93 years. Il
these conclusions are correct, we may
well ask, OF what wonderful, indie
struotible substance is our great ligh
giver composed?-Iixchange.

It is eminently appropriate that the
Republican party, lineally descended
FROM the old Federalists, should declare
for the single gold standard and the
centralized monetary despotism it Gre
ates With one-half the metallic money
of the world destroyed and the remain
der under the control Of a few capital
lists, the malign prediction of Hamilton
that the people could not govern them
selves and that only II monarchical gov
errment could be permanent would be
realized.
The great leaders of the Democratic
party were opposed to Capitalization in
every form, and especially to that of
banks and syndicates. They believed
that the government should create
money, and not national corporations,
which would inevitably use their enor'
nous privileges for selfish and mer-
cenary purposes.
The rank and file of the Democratic
party yet follow the teaching of these
illustrious men and distrust those who,
under the deceptive plea for sound mon
ey, would diminish the volume of cir
culation and give additional purchas-
ing power to gold.
The masses of our people are true to
the principles upon which the govern
ment was founded-equality in burdens
and benefts-and in the coming COLI
fict will not be false to their ConVic'
tions. Senator G. G. Vest

HE GOT EVEN.


A Virginia Justice Who Had u Grudge
Against Washington.
A Washington man who had some
business before one of the smaller courts
in a Virginia county went down there
on recent Saturday to attend to it.
He, found the judge before whom the
matter came, and as it was merely
pro forma proceeding he had no antici-
patton of trouble in getting it DONE
When the matter was presented, the
judge said;
mo, sab. If transact that business
for you, will have to open cot, and l
will not open cot for any Washington
man on Saturday"
"Why not?" asked the astonished
Capital City man.
Because, sab, / went down to Wash
ington OH u Saturday not long ago, and
not a single Judge was sitting in the
cot. 1 am an attorney, sab, an attor-
ney admitted to practice in Washington
co is, and yet because it was a Saturday
l was not allowed to practice there,
sab, when l had somewhat points tc
make, sab "
"Well, am not to be blamed for that, y
said the man from Washington "You
ought not to hold me responsible fol
what the judges do or do not do"
ut makes no difference, sab; you art
a part of thu system, devilish bad sys
TEN, sab, and you must help to reform
it, sab, and you are the first man / haVt
had opportunity to impress my view
upon, and l am going to make them felt
Go home and reform your system o
Saturday cots, and then come to me

And Virginia got even with Wash
ing ton in one case. Washington Star.

The Holland Tea Table.

Elegance is reached in the Holland
tea table, its standard richly carved in
mahogany or antique oak and inlaid
with medal,ions in delft. The top is a
movable tray in the beautiful china
mounted in brass with heavily chased
handles of the metal at either end. A
complete tea service of delft accompanies
it, making it drawing room appoint
ment of great beauty and expense. The

ers have followed him. The fairies OF
other countries may havS been more
poetic, but they have never been as wit
ty as the French. Leaving fairy tales
aside, children were obliged for a long
time to be satisfied with the very slight
collection bequeathed by Berguin,
Bouilly, Mime. de Genlis, those clever
people and who know how to coat moral
lesson with thin layer Of pictures, as
bitter pills are coated with sugar. In
fact this is the French parents very
ideal in the matter Of story books, and
to please them the lesson must not be
too well coated or hard to find, for the
spirit of investigation is not encouraged
in young readers.
During the past 20 years, however,
the meager library at their disposal has
grown wonderfully. Celebrated pens
have contributed toward it. Weneed but
mention Jules Verne, whose scientific
fairy tales have, alas, almost completely
dethroned those that appealed to the
imagination alone. But neither in his
books, nor in those of any Of his COM
petitors, will you ever find what both
English and American writer's currently
permit themselves to do-namely, to ar
raign relative, as, for instance, the
wicked uncle in Kidnapped" or tC
make teachers hateful, or merely ridlcu'
lous, as is the case in Dickens works.
This would be an outrage upon the re
spect due them in the aggregate. Fol
this reason translations are nearly al
ways expurgated. The friendly adop
ton of poor Laurie by the four girls II
Little Women" would be considered
very unseemly, Yet, for all that, they
were good little New England girls. T.
