that what perhaps ought to have been at

accomplished single-handed, despite SEEM

public Spiritedness and patriotism
Again. we are glad to-day to go into our
new place of worship. close neighbors to
our friends OF Calvary church, to continue
the pleasant relations that have existed
between us for &c years. We recall with
pleasure that their worthy pastor at the
corner stone laying of this temple invoked
GodS blessing upon us and our undertake
ing. and that our congregation while tenn
porarily without a place of worship dur
ing our great holidays a year ago enjoyed
the hospitality of the Congrega tional
church, whose spiritual representative we
are glad to have with us to participate in
the exercises of this day.
May, then. the tall graceful spires of the
Church of Calvary and the great white
towers of this temple dedicated to the re-
igion Of Sinai. piercing side by side the
sun-kissed skies. proclaim to coming gen.

of the God we all adore and the ejorious

of Hebrew rabbi; q man of the same
race and the same religion as was
Saul of Tarsus, who went about killing
Christians until he saw that great
light at Damascus. Is it not manifest
that the same great light which Saul
saw has gradually been disseminating
itself throughout the world. until to.
day our Hebrew friends apprehend
and realize that in their hearts they
have really accepted the principles
laid down by Him who spake as never
man spake? Certainly the spirit OF
Christianity breathes forth in the ut
terances of the Hebrew rabbi, for he
places himself and his congregation in
the same religious class with the Bap-
fist and Congregational churches, say.
ing: Behold how good and how pleas
ant it is for brethren 20 dwell together
in unity"
And that Hebrew congregation rev.
erently arose and listened to the in
vocation of Christian minister, who
dismissed them with the words: MAY
the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be
with us all, forever more. Amen"

Two Mexican citizens of FL Paso, Tex,
to settle an old feud, met on the field of
honor half mile south of town
recently and exchanged shots until one
of the duelists fell badly wounded. The
feud out of which grew the sanguinary
encounter began three years ago, when
Ramon Gomez eloped from Juarez,
Mexico, Gne night with the beautiful
16-year-old sister of Antonio Velarde.
The lovers fed to the other side of the
river and were married.
The brother had strenuously objected
to the match and never became recon-
ciled toward his sister or her husband.
He endeavored to make the life Of his
brother-in-law burden by haunting
him with being a sneak and a coward.
The other morning the two men met
| and Gomez told Velarde that he would
demonstrate to him that he was no
coward and challenged him to fight
duel with six-shooters. Velarde
promptly accepted, and quiet spot on
the Texas shore of the Rio Grande was
selected for their rendezvous. Each
procured second, and, armed with six
shooters, met at midday.
They took their positions five yards

fell with two bullets in his left leg be-

brother with the fury of IL tigress and
she was with difficulty flung aside.

small sleeves are to stay in fashion for

have but one, and the trimming con-

silk, edged at either side with the
black velvet ribbon put on quite full.
The collar is very high and faring, and
is made of ruffies of the silk edged with
velvet, or else just of the silk itself. As
yet these capes are only used as driy-
ing wraps, and it will be some time be-
fore they are seen in the street. It is
just as well, perhaps, for at present
they are so markedly different from
anything that has been worn that they
look a trifie conspicuous. The ten
dency of capes is apparently to

HOUSE BAGS.
They Are Useful for Various Purposes
and Decidedly Con-
Venient.

There are few things that conduce
more to an orderly management of the
house than full supply of household
bags These bags, when used for utili-
tartan purposes, like holding dust
cloths, soiled clothes or any similar
purpose, should be made of washable
material. The value of a set of bags
for soiled clothes over a hamper of
willowware will be subject of dis
pute. A hamper is more convenient,
but the bags are cheaper, and by using
several the fine clothes may be kept
separate from the bedding and coarser
clothes. In any event it is convenient
to have a small laundry bag to hold
cuffs and collars separate from the
other clothes
One of the most useful of all house
hold bags is clothespin bag. 1t is
more convenient TO use than basket
which must be held in the hand or set
down, where it must be continually
moved. and one must stoop over it to
reach il. 4 clothespin bag made in a
fat, pocket shape, with the opening
slit in front, can be fastened around
the waist when hanging up clothes.
and thus it is always at the hand. 1t is
pin apron, with the bottom turned M
to form a bag to hold the pins.
The utility of bags to hold shoes
and slippers and for patches of various
material need not be dwelt upon. They
are part of the outfit of every orderly
household. Rags for busting cloths,
made of fancy cotton chintz and lined
with plain glacc cotton, should hang in
the vicinity of every room in the house.
where they can be always in reach.
Each bag should contain at least one
hemmed busting cloth in a Clearly con-
6ition. AS soon as cloth has become
so much soiled that it needs washing
it should be put in the wash, and a
clean busting cloth should replace it
from the supply on hand. y few yards
of cheesecloth will furnish Il supply of
these busting cloths, which should be
made about half a yard square and
hemmed. 1t is quite possible. how
ever, to cumber up n house with bags
which serve no legitimate purpose.
Bags of silk and other smooth material,
which are made chiefly to be orna-
mental, usually defeat their object.
and serve no purpose except as catch
ais for dust-N. Y. Tribune.
