wit That Leaves No Scar.

Many anecdotes were told of Bishop Will
liams of Connecticut after his death, for
the good bishop was as well known for his
love of fun as for his earnest piety says
the Youths Companion.
AT a meeting of the bishops, a measure
was proposed and explained by its origna-
tor, but with such iucoherence that nobody
understood it. A second speaker essayed
to make the matter clear, but only dark
ened it, When he had finished Bishop Ben
jamin 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 bishop, that the
mess of Benjamin was found to be greater
than the mess of any OF his brethren"
1.-The humor of DR.. Williams" says a
friend, twas always present and ready like
a fash of sunlight. 1t had one popularity
it never scorched nor left scar behind"
At an assemblage of noted men year or
two ago, a lawyer who conducts the lega,
business of a great railway system tried
to guy the parson" by malicious quiz
zng. At last he said: why don't you
get these railway managers to give you
a pass over their roads, bishop? You can
pay for it by giving them entrance tickets
into heaven"
"Oh, no. gently replied the bishop. ct
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"

A Mestern nnmnre Cnse.

A good story is told in connection with
the town Of Cinder Pit, says a Los An
geles letter in the Chicago Record. All
over Arizona and Southern California the
evidences Of volcanic eruptions in past
ages are apparent. For hundreds of
miles in every direction the surface is
strewn with lava and pumice stone and
every now and then there is a bed Of bak-
ed clay, which hundreds of years ago was
subjected 10 some intense heat from sub
terranean fires. For eight or ten miles
along the track in Arizona just west of
Flagstaff, are immense deposits of Gin
ders, which probably mark craters Of ex-
tnct volcanoes that have been smothered
by their own ashes. The land is abso-
lutely worthless.
The owners would sell the whole terri
tory for cents an acre if anybody should
be foolish enough to offer that price but
the superintendent of that division OF the
Santa Fe road thought these volcano de-
posts would make good ballast, so ne
quit sldetrack put up a station, called
It Cinder Pit and commenced to haul out
the cinders by the carload After he had
been at work for about year an old chap
came along who claimed to be the owner
of the property and demanded comp
ton for the cinders that had been taken
away. The railway people thought he
was lunatic, and were disposed 20 treat
the matter as joke until they got a sum
mons to appear in court to answer a suit
for damages brought by the lawful owner
of the volcanic crater and the ashes that
it contained
The suit came to trial The railway
company made the plea that it did not
know the hand belonged 10 anybody. and
even if it did it was worthless, anyhow
The plaintiff produced several loquacious
experts who testified as to their opinion
of the damages suffered and the value Of
the property use. The lowest estimat e
was $l25; the highest was 1868. But after
hearing the argument of the attorney for
the plaintiff and taking several drinks at
his expense the jury assessed the railway
company $1,000 damages. The case was

The proposed cotton chasing convention,
to be called by Commissioner Stevens,
should by all means be held in Savannah,
which is the cotton center of the state
of Georgia and of the South Atlantic Sec
ton. This city is the source of informa-
ton respecting such matters as the con-
vention will consider in connection with
the pending proposition. The question is
one directly affecting the ports; the in
terest of inland cities, especially those
which do not handle great deal of cot
ton. is secondary. The meeting, there
fore. should be held in Savannah, the
greatest of Atlantic cotton ports, and not
in Atlanta.

Saturday night, and l telegraphed him To

answer that the authorities positively for
bade it, but that he would find a way to
play ia spite of them
Il reached him Monday, and, while we
were yet shaking hands, asked the cap

We played, you bet These jays could

Her Vanished Charm.

From the Chicago News.
she plays upon her old guitar
And sings a sad refrain
About some one who journeyed far
And left some one in pain.
She used to sing that song to me;
All, how she thrilled me then!
But she's as false as false can be,
And I'll ne'er love again.

And hear her play and sing
She cur me dead last week, and, oh
l wish she'd break a string.
It's 10 o'clock, she sings away
And strums her old guitar
Oh drat the chap that on a day
Went journeylng afar!
The song that charmed me once I hate
Another's with her now
And don't they know it's getting late?
She MARBLES like a COW.
And once thought that she was fair
guess my eyes We're dim;
Now some one else is sitting there.
And she performs for him.
She used to sing her song for me,
Till long. long after 10,
But that, of course, as you can see.
Was very different then.

The monitors, it is understood, are to
be hereafter devoted exclusively to har-
Dor defense purposes. They are not to
be sent TO sea again with blockading
fleets or flying squadrons, but are to be
assigned to certain harbors permanently.
The reason is that while the monitors
are powerful war engines in smooth wa
ter, they are practically valueless in
rough water. Either the Monterey or the
Monadnock will be assigned permanently
to the port of Manila, and the other will
be returned TO the Pacific coast. The Am
phitrite is to be stationed at Port Royal,
and the Terror, Puritan and Miantono-
mob will be distributed along the Atlantic.
One of them will be placed al Key West
and another in Chesapeake bay. The sta
ton of the third has not yet been determ-

The restoration of the whipping post in
the state of New York as a punishment for
wife beeters was warmly advocated al a
meeting of the Medico-Legal Society of
New York city a few nights ago by sever
al speakers. 1t is understood that Gov.
Roosevelt is favorabiy disposed towards
the re-enactment of a law authorizing
aogging for wife beating and certain OH
er crimes. In 1882 Maryland adopted whip
ping at the post for wife beating. That
year there were 1871 arrests for that offense
in the city of Baltimore. Early in 1888 the
first white man was given twenty lashes
and a year in Jail for wife-beating. During
the remainder of that year only sixty-sey-
en- cases were reported. Since that time
the number of cases has steadily declined.
Delaware has never given up the whipping
post 1t has been one of her institutions
ever since she came in.o existence. Whip
ping is now imposed there generally in
cases of felony. Delaware people assert
and maintain that il IS the most feared of
all forms of punishment, and is therefore
the best deterrent of crime.

self-supporting, and in the belief that the
world owes him living. which he is en-
titled to and can get by asking for 1t.
True charity is not that which supports
a man able to work in idleness. 1t en-
courages self-respect in the recipient and
endeavors to make him self-sustalning
and a useful member of society. True
charity, therefore, must go about its work
systematically, knowingly and cautiously.
We are not prepared to say that as much
of IS per cent Of the charity contribu-
tons given is worse than wasted, bun we
are quite sure that the percentage is very
large.
