~tractive young ladies entered Mayor
Hoos' office this morning, n when His
Honor asked what he could do for them

slightest doubt hat it is beautiful and
becoming; out"
ooh, I don't mean that!' replied Miss
Tessman, quickly; "of course it is; but
look at the spots on the waist! It's ut

gines on the Pennsylvania Railroad
bridge, which throw out dirty water. l
declare, it's very annoying! There's that
thing just spoiled, and the city ought to
punish the engineers"
The Mayor thought at first the spots
were a part of the ornament, but, on
closer examination, found hat they were
stains and greasy ones at that. He was
informed that Miss Tessman and her
companion. Mrs. Shader, were employed
at Furst Bros store, on Newark ave-
nue.. and the other day on leaving the
store a stream of dirty water came from
the exhaust pipe of a drill engine on the
P. r. R. The Mayor, while offering his
sympathy, informed the ladies that it was
not in his power to compel the company
to stop the Objectionable practices, and
his visitors withdrew very much disap-

one of them said

cellently.
The Rev. Father Harlin who had
charge of -he entertainment and who
he'd been working for its success, sat in
the audience last evening and was well
pleased with the admirable way the
children performed. He was greatly as
sisted by the Sisters of the school.

Bishop williams wit

Many anecdotes were told of Bishop
Williams, of Connecticut, after his death,
for the good Bishop was as well known
for his love of fun as for his earnest
piety.
AT a meeting of the bishops. a measure
was proposed and explained by its orig
inator, but with such incoherence that
no bod understood it. A second speaker
essayed to make the matter clear, but
only darkened 1t. When he had finished
Bishop Benjamin Smith, of Kentucky,
tried to explain the question and also the
explanations. Feeling that he had failed
he said
Bishop Williams smiles. What has he
to say about it?"
'.only this" said the old Bishop, that
the mess of Benjamin was found to be
greater than the mess of any of his
brethren
.sThe humor of DR.. Williams says a
friend, was always present and ready
ike the flash of sunlight. 1t had one
popularity, it never scorched nor left a
scar behind.''
At IN assemblage of noted men a year
or two ago. a lawyer who conducts the
legal business of a great railway system
tried to guy the parson" by malicious
ouizzing. AT last he said:-sWhy don't
you get these railway managers to give
YOU a. pass over their roads, Bishop?
You can pay for it by giving them en-
trance tickets into heaven
"oh. no. gently replied the Bishop. II
would not part them so far from their
counsel In the other world"
The laugh, was general, and the lawyer
concluded to "let the parson alone
youths Companion"
