Tue attendants at the services OF
Central Union Church yesterday
morning, felt sorrrowful pang Of
regret as they listened to Mrs.
Montague Turner's very beautiful
and touching song from "Ruth"
that her voice would not again be
heard in that church in connection
with the family worship. The voice
OF our Hawaiian Nightingale will
trill in other bosqy dells in future,
and Hawaii must mourn the loss Of
one whose sweet voice was ever fore.

larger and more independent elect

The Scottish American says that
"there is a man in Glasgow who,
when he goes to church, notes the
hour at which the sermon begins;
and If the discourse does not ex-

mineral waters have been on the free
list since 1872 but by reason of duty
on the bottles containing them they
have been paying more than even arti-
fetal products like bottled malt liquors,
bottled still wines, etc. 1t Is said that
the committee were surprised when
they learned the true ad valorem equiv
alents of the rates on natural mineral
waters in the new bill, and would have
made change If they had understood
the subject early enough in the prog
ress of the bill. They will not oppose
change by the Senate committee,
which will, 1t Is said, restore the equiv
alent of the Mckinley rate of 80 per
cent. This, 1t is believed, will consti-
tute a better revenue duty than high
er rate. which would seriously reduce
consumption.

1T WAS Il STILL III UNIT.

While the great cause Of Woman
doesn't seem to be making that prog
ress in some parts of this country that
it's advocates want to see 1t make 1t is
getting along in Colorado as fast as a
jack-rabbit. In that State Woman has
for some time had the full right of suf-
frage and of jury service, and unless
the governor vetoes a bill which has
passed the legislature she can also
serve In the militia. There are those
who will hope that he will not veto
it and that in the course of time the
lower limbs of a crack company Of
Colorado's female militia may be seen
in marching and comparable iuxta-
position to the glorious legs of our own
Foot Guards. But that is neither here
nor there, yet, so we can turn our at
tention to a feat in politics which has
just been done by the wide-awake
women of Denver. The Denver women
made up their minds that Reform, Good
Government, and Civil Service de-
manded that they get hold Of the reins.
So they got together and nominated a
ticket. Then they showed their Won
derful fitness to have their rights by
starting and carrying on a still-hunt
campaign In every precinct they ar
ranged to vote their entire households.
They did this so quietly that leaders
Of rival factions were misled, for even
their house to house canvass failed to
gave other party canvassers reason to
think that they intended to vote the
old party ticket. The politicians who
were against them spent more money
than usual for rum and cigars and
went into the battle of the ballots with
serene confidence that they had a
'lead-pipe cinch." But they got in
stead a lead-pipe Slug in the neck"
and an equally severe blow over the
heart and they are now very sore. The
women captured every Office in the city.
They are going to have a Reform adj
ministration and If things are not all
right in Denver now it will be because
human nature isn't woman nature or
because woman nature is human ma
ture.
the glorious achievement was that it
was a still hunt.

cAREFuLNEss ABOUT FOOD.

It was not very kind of Prof. Max
Muller to tell his little story of Tenny-
sons rather rough criticism on the din
ner Mrs. Max Muller had provided for
him. Tennyson, like all very truthful
men, like DR.. Johnson, for instance,
sometimes said bearish things, but
host owes as much reticence to guest
as the guest owes to his host. That,
however, is the Professors affair but
there is something of general interest
in the way in which the story is quoted,
as if it were somehow 20 Tennyson's
discredit to have cared about his food.
Why should he not care, to reasonable
degree? And that he was not unreason-
able in his care Is the testiminy of all
who knew him. A man Is not necessarily
a. gourmand, and still less a glutton, be-
cause he cares that what he eats should
be appetizing, and should, therefore, be
the food the eating of which burdens
him least, and least distracts his
thoughts from higher things.
There is no reason in the world why
men, whether average men or men of
genius, should despise the cooking of
their food. They never show, or are re-
quired to show, the same contempt to-
wards any other art, and on no other is
their mental calm more completely de-
pendent. An ill-fitting coat is worry,
but not such worry as dinners pre-
petually addressed. To many men, and
especially to men whose work is seden-
tary, or whose brains are fully taxed,
food which is at once light and nour-
ishing is an absolute necessity if they
are to exert their highest powers; and
food of that kind is obtainable only by
care in selecting meats. and good cook
ing when are selected. A man should
not think to much of his dinner, or de-
vote too much time to preparation for
it, or enjoy it too visibly when it has
arrived, for all those are animal pecu-
lliarities; but to remain content with
'bad food, when little more thought
70 carefulness or criticism would pro-
cure it in state fit to be eaten. is only
what Scotchmen used to describe as "a
wasting of the maircies. London

THE BUEE IND THE BioFcEE.

The bicycle has thrown everybody
it powerful preachers, learned legal
brothers, distinguished Journalists, love-
ly maids, large married women, leaders
of Society, and common people have
had to bite the dust, nose the mud,
shoulder the gravel, sit the rock, or do
some other submissive and humbling
deed. Those who lay their knockout up
against the bicycle, and those who have
been laid up by it may be able to take
a. certain sort of satisfaction in the fact
that the bicycle has at last run UP
against something that was too lively
for 1t, even in the very first encounter
with it. That something is a Mexican
bull, which in fight with bicycle left
it as bruised and battered as it has
left its countless victims. 1t happened
in this way. Manuel Garcia, a cele-
brated bull-ighter, had reached point
where he felt obliged to try to restore
waning popularity and try to refill a
waned pocketbook. So he bethought
himself of calling the bicycle to his
aid in a Sunday contest with a fero-
cious bull. His scheme worked well up
to a certain point. His announcement
that he would appear in the bloody
arena on bicycle was greeted with ia
vor and curiosity. He appeared, and
the expectant thousands also appear
ed, eager to see him ride right over Mr..
Bull. Mr.. Bull also appeared, on time
and full of fight Garcia rode to meet
him with all the airy grace of bull
fighter on the best bicycle that could
be had. It didn't take Mr.. Bull long to
make up his mind that the bicycle and
not the glorious toreador was his real
enemy, and he fought accordingly. For
a while the bicycle had good luck. 1t
curved and wheeled around in great
shape and kept Mr.. Bull busy in trying
to get on to It's curving and wheeling.
He finally succeeded in getting his
shining and efficient horns just where
he wanted them and he hoisted that BIZ
cycle and that toreador in such a way
that they both came down in the front
row of spectators. Then Mr.. Bull asked
loudly for more bicycles to conquer, but
none appeared He waited a suitable
time, in imitation of that other great
fighter Fitzsimmons, who, by the way,
was once knocked out by a bicycle, and
then pranced out of the ring, feeling
that it was far better to puncture and
throw than 10 be thrown and pune
tured.

It is announced that the Paramount
Park commission in Philadelphia has
decided to make good use Of some of
the unfrequented portions of the park
by converting them into Fairgrounds,
similar to the Fairgrounds in Prospect
park, Brooklyn, and Lincoln park, Chi
cago. About seventy-f1ve acres can
thus be used, and 1t is proposed to es-
tablish at once fifty or more baseball
diamonds and other Fairgrounds, with
the necessary appliances and even with
the convenience of dressing rooms. The
action taken is in response to a petit
ton numerously signed by the leading
citizens of Philadelphia. They argued
that the change would add to the at
Effectiveness of the park and would
help to realize its hygienic purpose by
bringing many more people within it's
beneficial influence and providing for
them the means of physical recreation,
at the same time keeping the young
men away from saloons, clubs and 9TH
er places of corrupting influence.

shop "open for traffic" on Sunday. The
defendant was buttonhole maker, who
observed Saturday as day of rest and
religious worship. On Sunday he kept
his shop open merely to allow his regu-

or take them away. He made no new
contracts on that day, accepted no work
from casual customers, received no pay
and settled no accounts. The Queens
Bench division held that he was i'm
properly convicted. Mr.. Justice Cave
said that the mere fact that clothes
were taken to and from the workshop
on Sunday, pursuant to arrangements
made upon other days, did not show
that the place was open for traffic.

A new feature of South Cardinals
6ispensary law has been made public
by a case recently tried by the State
Supreme court. The law Is that no cit
izen may keep liquor in his house or
his place of business for lawful pur-
pose, such as personal use, unless the
vessel in which he keeps it has a GER
tificate upon 1t from the State liquor
commissioner. The court was evenly
divided, two deciding that it was not a
criminal offence to have liquor without
the commissioners certificate, the other
two holding the opposite view. AS
there was no agreement In the higher
court, the decree Of the lower was, I'M
der the law, sustained, and the man
who appealed must therefore do three
months work in the chain gang. There
will be fresh demand for certificates
in consequence, with an increased reve-
nue. in the form of fees.
