London, April 1.-The Rome corre- spondent of the Daily News describing the thanksgiving mass yesterday at St. Peters cathedral, says; When the pope came into view the people whls- pered. He had the appeafance of a ghost when his face, overshadowed by the glittering tiara became discernible, with the dark eyes peering from the deep sockets. His hand trembled vio- lently and a sad smile played over the colorless lips. Holbein might have painted him then as the personification of the vanity of human splendor.
 With his left hand he waved sad greetings, while the right did it's feeble best to mark the act of blessing. Dur ing the mass he sat with folded hands. Twice he rose and he was supported while he knelt in prayer, reading the benediction. His voice was scarcely audible; but, in the absolute silence, his first words were caught by the as- sembled multitude.
 "He tried to raise himself, but fell back and pronounced the remainder in a recumbent position. A loud cry, like the bursting of storm, broke from the congregation and the pope. stretching his hand in benediotion, was carried out"

The strike at the Worombo( Wooden
mills at Lisbon Falls La one CT the mos,
important of thu season in Maine. The
strikers claim that they have not had
thafr wages restored to the figures they
were before the cut downs which were
made during the years of depression be-
tween is 3 and 1897. There re two cut
downs during this period Of 10 per cent
each, and while one of these has been NJ
stored the other has not. and they also
claim TINT there have been other chanQes
In methods which offset the increase
granted. SO that thers has been practically
no restoration. The direct cause of the
strike at this time is an order, issued
Saturday by the company, that on certain
kinds of ecloth. particularly creres and
vsnetians. supposed to contain Go picks
to the in,h, should actually contain that
number. The agent states that he Away
supposed that these goods actually did
contain that number Of picks to the inch,
but that an investigation has recently
convinced him that the cloth contained
but 81 on the average, and that this
change had been made without his knowl-
edge or that Of any one in--authority
The company required that the cloth be
brought up to TIE andarj and the en-
ployes claim that this is impossible at
present prices paid for weaving.

Nay, show me not your garden plot,
An prim and perfect squared TO space,

And not d green leaf out Of place
Hard iron benches front the street;
No ragged hammocks Imply hang:
Those proper porches. SIN and neat,

Give. me 1 prny, some old back yard
Whose drowsy hooks the clrckets bring
Where apples drop on frowzy sward
From crooked treee where catbiids sing,
Where plants run wild and grass grows

Ard lowering bushes hide the view,
Wnsrs grape vines riot ON the wall
There would loaf the summer through.

WHY YOUNG PEOPLE PUT OFF
MARRIAGE.

The reason why SO many young people
put or marriage year after year is not far
to seek, says an eBrnest writer. Girls
without fortunes are keps In luxury and
idleness month after month by their in
dulgent parents and they In their turn
expect to be oarsd for in precisely the
same manner after marriage whereas
the annual cost OF suon q girls mAinte-
nance far exceeds the entire income of
the average young man, unless he be ex-
ceptionally we'll blessed with this world g
goods. Surely the fault lies entirely with
the parents, for unless they are prepared
to give fortune with each daughter as
she raarries they have absolutely no right
to unfit her for the position Of Hiis in the
home of a young man who has his fortune
to make. This Is not trivial mistake; 1t
Is great and increasing source of per-
sonal unhappiness and discomfort. The
old-fasEioned virtue, thrift. domestic
ecs nomy, saving up for rainy day, bad :
ly needs d revival not so much IN the
homes OF the very poor. hut In thoss who
have fair incomes and whose ambition to
make a show prompts them to adopt the
manners OF their more affiuent neighbors
