"The social punctilo of the Philadelphia
Assembly was enforced, perhaps, more
rigfdly in the early colonial days than it
is today, for when girl whose name mad

took IA goldsmith and jeweler for hlish,nd

"The Most Aristocratc Social Event in
America" in the January Ladies Home
journal. "The trade line Of demarcation,
indeed, gave rise ultimately to a social war,
and second assembly was formed,
made up chiefly of the families Of tradesmen
in opposition to the aristocracy.' The con-
fiict came on while Washington was living
in Philadelphia as president. So intense
was it that each party struggled to gain the
favor of the great manand his wife. The
one Assembly announced great ball in
honor Of his birthday for the night before
the 22nd of February; the other prepared
for similar event the night afterward, and
the sagacious Washington delivered nj
self from the dilemma by attending both,
and proposing on each occasion the same
toast, The State OF Pennsylvania But
there was another version of the strife
which gave much delight to the populace
in their speculations over the rivelries Of

POOR OLD LAKME
Has Probably Carried Her Last Cargo
of ANYTHING

ASTORIA, Ore, Dec 27--The steamer
Lakme, which arrived in port from Puget
sound yesterday morning with her cargo on
fire, was beached today. The Geckload of
lumber was removed, and an examination of
the vessel made. 1t was found that many
barrels OF lime in the forward hold were
burning liercely, and it was impossible to
remove any OF the cargo The'tugs Rescue
and Escort and city fire engine worked all
afternoon pumping water into the vessels
mold. Despite the water pumped into tine
llakme there was no abatement of the fire,
and it is the general belief that the steamer
Will burn TO the waters edge. Another
danger which now threatens the total de-
struction Of the steamer is that the lime will
swell and burst her open. The lower hold
of the Lakme is filled with lumber, and
strenuous efforts are being made to subdue
the fire before it reaches this portion of her
cargo.
The Lakme is wooden vessel, and was
used as a transport last August in conveying
the United States engineer corps from San
Francisco to Honolulu. She is owned in
San Francisco.

HELP THE POOR WITH RUBBISH
Novel Scheme Inaugurated by Russian
Relief Society

Charitable work in Odessa is the subject
OF an interesting report received at the
state department from Consul Thomas f..
Heenan, who is situated at that great Rus
sian port. The consul says:
Il transmit translation OF Il printed no.
tce which has been delivered at every
house in Odessa. 1t occurred to me that
the idea is we'll worthy of the attention Of
the great public and private organizations
devoted to the relieving Of distress in the
United States. The scheme outlined in this
appeal to the people of Odessa, while it is
not new, is interesting, and deserves to sue
ceed. The articles are separated into a
number of classes and sold, to be remanufac-
tured into paper, glassware, iron, etc.
The printed notice is as follows: "The
president of the Society for the Relief OF
the Odessa poor, Countess A. j. Shuvalov,
while endeavoring to find means for the
wider development of the activity OF that
society, obtained the sanction for the estab-
lishment in connection with the central
committee of the society of a section for the
collection of contributions, consisting OF un-
necessary articles.
'In every family unnecessary articles can
be found which are frequently thrown out
from THE dwelling along with rubbish, and
it is these entirely useless things which may
serve as new fund for the activity Of the
society. If every family in Odessa would
only give during the year one rub,e's wortA
of these unnecessary things, tens of thou
sands of rubles would accumulate in the
treasury of the society. Addressing soch
a request to all Odessa people, the society
knows that it does not ask for sacrifices be-
yond the donors means. 1t only ad-
dresses to all the modest request, Contrib
ute all that you do not require DO
not be embarrassed either by the quality cr
the quantity of the offering. With most
earnest gratitude we accept all old rubbish,
torn pieces of paper, clothing, footgear,
leather leggngs, old newspapers, unneces-
sary books and music, old postage stamps,
rags, linens, corks, pieces of iron, brass and
other metals, bottles, caps of bottles. broken
glass, cut off cigar ends, empty cigar ani
cigarette boxes, broken playlhings, useless
furniture, etc.
For the collection of these offerings of
unnecessary articles the section will send
around collectors, dressed in uniform, with
an open letter In acknowledges Of
such offerings the collector will issue a
proper receipt. The collectors are not au-
thorized to accept offerings in the shape Of
money. y."-Washington Times.
