A Young Brnss's Confession Tn the waEe
 ing of the HoneymoOn.

Ing OK Une honeymoon
 Charley Wheeler and Lucille Sprock- ett had been married nearly three weeks, aud they had just returned from theiE wedding trip. They were supremely happy ill each others love, and the honeymoon so far had been to them as one long, blissful dream. Within tho next day or two, however, tho briaa grew slightly depressed in spirits, and an uneasy feeling seemed to take pog. session of her. The young husband no. ticed the change, but attributed it to fatigue from the recent travels. But hia bride grew moro nervous and took on such troubled expression that he said to her:
 "You have something on your nina darling, that is troubling you. Tell me what 1t Is y
 At first she tried to persuade him Ehat he was mistaken, that nothing worried her.
 You are wrong, Charley, dear," she would say. Really, am not wor. rying over anything. am just & happy as I can be. ]"
 The day following, however, the young wife wore such troubled look that her husband said to her:
 Lucille, you must tell mo what is troubling you. I will not be put off any longer. As your husband l have right to know.
 Seeing that further concealment was Impossible she broke down and sobbed bitterly:
 "Oh, Charley, l am so unhappyi" sho walled 1T ve-deceived-you. !"
 A sickentng sensation swept over the young husband Surely there must be some mistake Sho whom he had looked upon as the personihcation of innocent womanhood-deceive him It must not be It would destroy his happiness and blight his life And then, when he caught sudden vision of the horrible possibilities of the situation, he became sick at heart and almost fell to tho floor. Then, with a great effort he controlled his feolings
 "Tell nc, ho said ''I am prepared for the worst.
 .'Oh, Charley, 1 am 70 sorryi''
 "You should have thought of this be. fore. ,
 II know, know. 1 see my mistake. now it's too late. she cried "Oh, why didn't l tell you before we were maS- ried2''
 "Toll me now, and be quick about it [ cannot bear this suspense.
 ''Tell mo first that you will forgive me" she said in pleading tones. "I will devote my whole life in atonement for this one mistake "
 'I cannot promise until I know what it is, he said
 Then she came over and knelt at his feet.
 "Oh, Charley. you know the wheel got just few weeks before we were married"-
 "Yes; but what has thne''-
 'Why, I bought it-on the-install, naent plan-S4 month-and have only paid-one installment And just know tho collector will be-here tomorrow. Oh, Charley" she sobbed, "can you ever forgive me'?'-Ohio State Journal

Narrow Is tlao Way.

It is true now as 1t ever was, tho word of David, "Groat peace have they that love thy law, and nothing shall offend them" And tho saying of Jesus, Mar row is the way, is not applicable alone to eternal lifo, but widely bears upon all human relations, for the way is nar- row and straitly hodged that leads tc business success, to permanent political fame, to genuine and lasting satisfaction with tho good things of tho flesh, to . green and tranquil old age, as we'll a' eternal lifo.-Dr. Frank Crano, Metho dist, Chicago.

Woman tho Inspiration of Hope,

She is tho inspiration of hope. There is in the heart of every true woman a spark of heavenly fire, which may often lie dormant in tho broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles and burns in the dark hour of diversity. As stars como out most brightly upon tho breast of the midnight sky, so these higher qualities of woman's soul shine most resplendent on the dark background of poverty and woe. -Rey. George B. Vos- burgh, Baptist, Denver.

The Awakened Church.

Tho church should awake to its high est possibilities in harmony with the humane and progressive spirit of the ago. The friendly visitor who goes te the homes o9 the pe9r breaches a gos- pei of diviner simplicity and sublimel eloquenco than can be uttered by musi- elan or orator beneath the gorgeous temple dome. If tho church is to heal broken hearted mankind, it must nc longer bo content to say, Come, " but must be prepared to fulfill the apostolic command and Ego. "-Rey. J. T. Brush ingham, Methodist, Chicago.

Cremation Not For Christians.

Now methods of disposing of tho dead, among which is cremation, aro not in harmony with tho whisperings of our Christian faith. While they seem pro- fane toward tho dead, they deprive the living of the grand sweet lessons which come to us from our Christian ceme- teries. Gtvo to every ono of the departed friends his little homo and put over it the cross of Ghrist.-Archbishop Iro- land, CatholIo. St. Paul.

School Commissioners.

The School Commissioners met on
Friday last, with all the members of the
Board present.
The object of the meeting, as advertised,
was for the appointment of local trustees.
Owing to .4e fact that full lists were not
presented the Board deferred appointment
until next meeting.
A lot adjoiLing the Clint IN School, in
Surratts district, was purchased.
The request of patrons of the colored
schools to keep them open until end of
regular term at the expense of parents,
was granted, but no free books will be
given them from date of closing as public
schools, they being since that time virtu-
ally private schools. The reason for this
is obvious; in giving free books the teacher
has to account to the Board for their dis
tribution, and if a satisfactory accounting
is not made, the teacher IS held pecuniarily
responsible, and all books not accounted
for are deducted from their salaries The
teacher not having any books to distribute
during the time of service as teaching a
private school avoids all responsibility for
cas- Nv of books as property of the Board.

The Columbia and Maryland
Railway.

One of the final steps in the plans for
mondson Avenue, Catonsville and Ellicott
CITY Railway, the Baltimore end of the
Columbia and Maryland Railway, or Boule-
ward Line, was taken Monday, when the
foreclosure sale of the Columbia and Mary
land RAILWAYS franchises and other assets
was ratified by the court. The sale was
made for $500 to the Baltimore Sc
curity and Trading Company, which was
formed for the purpose of purchasing and
reorganizing the property. 1t was ratified
in the Circuit Court of Baltimore city by
Judge Wickes, who overruled the eNcep-
tions to the sale filed by the Barney X
Smith Car Company.
Under the terms of the ordinance eN-
tending the time for the completion Of the
Edmondson Avenue, Gainesville and Eli
cott City Railway the portion OF the road
on Franklin street extended must be COM
pleted in sixty days and the road be in
operation to Ellicott City in six months.
This work will be done by the Maryland
Traction Company, which was substituted
as purchaser for the Baltimore end of the
Boulevard Line and all other Maryland
franchises sold under foreclosure. All the
Maryland franchises except those con-
nected with the Edmondson Avenue,
Gainesville and Ellicott City Railway will
be conveyed by the Maryland Traction
Company to the lexington and Soldiers
Home Railway Company of the District
of Columbia 1t is proposed to unite the
lexington and Soldiers Home Railway,
the Maryland and Washington Railway
and the line running from the District of
Columbia line through Hyattsville to
Laurel, formerly belonging to the Column
bia and Maryland Railway. The consoli-
dated companies will be known as the
City and Suburban Railway of the District
of Columbia.
The Washington end will be completed
to Berwyn and will be extended shortly to
Laurel. The portion in the District of
Columbia will be rebuilt with the under
ground electric system. The companies to
which the franchises have been conveyed
are controlled by those interested in the
company formed to purchase the entire
property. Permanent officers of the Mary
land Traction Company have not been
elected
