Boston's Clerical Romany.

II have II on the authority of Viii
liam Dean howells and other eminent
Bostonians that there is i'll the capital
OF Massachusetts a certain Clergyman
ct widespread fame who, unknown to
the world at large, is a Romany. Every
summer this reverend gentleman cannot
resist joining some gypsy band and
roaming from place to place as his kim
dred have done since within the memory
Of man. Little do the good man S COLI
gregation dream that, while they pic
ture him as sedately journeying abroad,
he Is sitting beside gypsy camptres and
chattering the wild Romany tongue, to
all intents and purposes a vagrant. but,
as MI. Howells pointed out, none ever
heard it said that this preacher preached
any the worse for his wild, free life over
road and prairie. Indeed the increased
vigor aud eloquence of hts sermons i'm
mediately after each successive annual
vacation have long been matters Of

Marriage In England.

E~nglishmen now it is said, are emit
lating the French in the absolute disln-
clination to marry. When they do de-
eide to take this important step, they
now frequently insist upon that dot
which is part of the French idea Of a
successful and conyenable marriage.
The real fact of the matter is that the or
binary modern Englishlnan has no desire
to disturb his bachelor estate. If be has
no title, no special wealth, no great his
toric name to hand down to posteriiy,
single blessedness is good enough tor
him. This state of mind is attributed
by many to the growing independence
Of Possibly this is true, prob
ably it is Lot. M%ercenary spirits boldly
asst TT tat marriages i'll England will,
on the whole, never be successful until
women bring dots to their husbands,
since gold inspires respect If not love.
Marriage on a strictly business basis is
evidently the future for all English wo-
men to look forward to.-San Francisco

Lord Tennyson is in his Life (vol-
une 2, page l4) reported to have said ::
II never put two SIS together in any
verse of mine. My line is not, as often
quoted:
"And freedom broadens slowly down,
but:
"And freedom slowly broadens down."
On reading this / opened my Tennyson
casually, and the first piece I saw was
Sir Launcelot and Queen Guinevere,"
which contains four instances Of the
double s-namely:
Sometimes the linrot piped his song.
She seemed a part of joyous spring.
As she fed.
As she swayed.
The next piece is "-ha Farewell"
which has the line:
No more by thee my steps shall be.
The next, piece is 1.-THE Beggar Maid"
which has the consecutive lines:
As shines the moon in clouded skies,
Sine in her poor attire was seen.
Thinking that perhaps Lord Tennyson
referred to his blank verse, l turned to
the Dedication Of the Idylls," in
which l find these two lines:
Or low should England, dreaming of his sons,
and
Till Gods love set thee at his side again.

unsupported. london Spectator.

The impression is general that Mis-
sonri river water is dirty-that the big
river flows about two parts of dirt and

neous, for the Missouri rivers water is
purer thar the water Of any great river

will be found that the sediment at the
bottom is fine, dark colored sand and
not mud. The Missouri rivers water is
never muddy, save during the spring
high water.
Colonel Fill Switzler of Boonville,
Mo-, declares that the general idea that
Missouri means "big muddy" or mud
dy WATER is wrong. He says, and Col
onel Bill Switzler is an authority, that
it means "W OGDEN canoe" The name,
he says, belongs to the Illinois, dialect
Of the Algonquin Indians. The name
Missuris or Missouri was applied by the
Indians Of tie upper lake region to the
tribe OF Indians living west Of the Mis-
sissippi river, because the latter used
wooden canoes instead of birch bark
calloeS.
Wooden canoes had to be used on the
Missouri river because it was too turbu-
lent for the frail birch bark canoes and
il this way the big river secured it's
name. But nc matter whether Missouri
means muddy water" or wooden
canoe, the fact remains that Missouri
river water is not muddy. 1t does not
flow through mud, but through fine
sand. The Mississippi river water is 100
per cent dirtier than the Missouri, but

LAS a child she showed great elocu-
tionary talent, and continuous study
has developed in her marked dramatic
ability. For the past year she has been
studying under the direction Of Mrs.
Loretta Chase, the well known actress,
who has been in California for her
health. Miss Maddux's uncle is con-
nected with one of Frohmans COM
panies and has secured a place for her
in the same company for the season
that opens October 10th.
"A benefit will be given Miss Mad
dux at Beethoven Hall, Hotel Savoy, on
Friday evening, September I'd Messrs.
Thomas Hickey, Jack Cathcart, Harry

RAILROAD EMPLOYEES.
They Are All Wanted at Pythian
Castle To-Night.

There va be an important meeting
of the Railway Employees Association
at Pythian Castle this evening. Com
mittees are to report the results of
their work among railroad employees
in other places, showing how enthusi-
astic the men are over the new move
ment.
The officers desire that all railroad
employees be present, whether members
of the association or not. Political and
journalistic demagogues have in the
past managed to infiict serious injury
on the men who are dependent on
transportation companies for their daily
bread, and it is proposed to call them
down.
By thorough organization the rail-
road workers say they will be able to
make themselves felt ix politics, and
where they find an office-seeking char
latan threatening all sorts of unjust Leg
islation against the interests on which
they depend for livelihood they pro-
pose to teach him a lesson.
In short time, it is thought, the
10000 railroad voters in the State will
all be in line to protect by their ballots
the great industry that protects them.

Grass Valley Pioneers Lay Out the
Athletic Club Team.

The Athletic Club baseball team went
up against a hard game when they
tackled the Grass Valley Pioneers at
the mountain town on Sunday last, and
while they were defeated they came
away with all the honors of war. The
score was 8 to B in favor Of the Pion-
GERS.
The game was close and exciting, and
was punctuated with great team work
on both sides. Wisemann Of the Ath-
ietics and Rockenfield Of the Pioneers
made wonderful catches of long flies
and won favor with the crow. Shields
pitched a strong game and struck out
eight men, while the Pioneers touched
him for only six hits
The local boys have only words of
praise for the treatment they received
at the hands Of the Grass Valley peo-
pie.
