T Laughed During Service.

Religious services in Ireland are not
always solemn, according to the state
ment of an English clergyman. "The
only time ever heard congregation
laugh unreservedly during the regular
services in a cathedral" said he, twas
back in the sos, when I was resi-
dent of dear, dirty Dublin. On one
Sunday morning the archbishop Of
Cork preached. He was splendid
man, an Irishman to the backbone,
and possessed of as fine brogue as
ever distinguished son of Erin. His
|congregation was madesnpef the 4er5
essencezof fashionin Dublin, which in
those days was onesof the greatest So,
cial centers in the world. Notoriously,
people were living beyond their means,
for the income from the landed estates
of Ireland had taken a big tumble.
But that made DO difference, and good
dressing went as a matter of course,
and was one Of the smallest of the ex-
travagances. The archbishop preached
on the subject OF extravaganza, and
spoke particularly of overdressing as a
prerequisite to attendance at church.
His sermon was a bitter arraignment
of the sin of debt and the wickedness
of setting the heart on fashion and
and dress. He attacked the over
dressed women, and wound up this par
ticular reference this way:
''Now, supposin' every one of ye-
every one, man and woman. should
stand up in this church, take off the
clothes We have not paid for, just walk
in out with only the things on your
backs ye have paid fora pretty look
in lot of scarecrows ye'd be-
"There was pause until the real
Significance of the suggestion had per-
colated through the members of his
congregation, then some one snickered.
Every one was picturing to him or her
[self the real scene that would occur
should the archbishop's idea be car
ried into effect, while wife looked at
husband and members of each family
nudged one another. The ludicrous
side was irresistible and the laugh was
general. "-EI.

No Call For a Panic.

State Health Officer Bracken, in
commenting on the small pox scare in
Minnesota, says:
''While smallpox is disease to be
dreaded, its presence should not create
a panic. If properly handled, small
pox is less difficult to control than is
diphtheria. The general type of the
disease within the last few years, not
only in Minnesota, but in other states,
has been mild. The mortality has av
eraged about two per cent. It's true
that isolated places have reported
very. high mortality. But in other.
places the number Of deaths has been
far below the average of two per cent. y

The millinery stock of Mrs. Matte
Jones was destroyed by fire last Friday
evening. The blaze was discovered
about 9 o'clock and the alarm promptly
given but the. nature of the stock made
it impossible to save it. The entire

luckily carried $500 insurance and Mr..

REFUSES TO ACCEPT SALARY
General John A. Kason the Peculiar
 Government Official
Reciprocity Commissioners Treaties Not Acted Upon by United States Senate. He Tenders Resignation.

WASHINGTON John A.. Kasson, of Iowa, enjoys the novel dis tinction of being an officer of the gov ernment who refuses to receive a cent of salary, although carried on the sal ary rolls.
 General Kasson was appointed by the President immediately after the pass age of the Dingley law as special re- ciprocity commissioner. and his salary is reported to have been $l0,000 a year.
 His negotiations with foreign govern ments resulted in the reciprocity agree ments and reciprocity treaties with France, Great Britain, Argentina, Mica ragua, Ecquador and other countries.
 Because of the failure of the Senate to act on these treaties, General Kas- son decided last month to tender his resignation. President Mckinley de- clined to receive it and requested Gen eral Kasson to retain office.
 As the administration has decided not to permit the signature of any more reciprocity treaties until after the ratification of at least one of these in struments by the Senate, there is now comparatively little work for General Kasson to do. He has agreed, however, to resume duty provided the Senate will, at the next session, ratify a re- ciprocity treaty or treaties.
 He has announced, however, his un- willingness to draw salary while he Is not actively serving the government, and his pay will recommence when he resumes the work of negotiation.

LABOR UNIONS IN POLITICS
New York Organizations to Form Party

NEW YORK.-For the first time Gilce they were organized the principal trades unions in this city decided to go into politics and to start an inde- pendent labor party. This decision was reached at meeting of delegates from twenty-one unions, represented in the board of walking delegates. Philip Wiensemer of the Amalgamated Soci- cty of Plumbers and Gas Filters pre- sided.
 The meeting was called on account of the recent decisions of the court of appeals declaring the prevailing rate of wages law and the State stone-dress- ing law unconstitutional. These laws, the most radical of their kind that have yet been passed in the interest of labor, cost the labor unions many thousands of dollars in carrying on the agitation in their favor, and their annulment is admitted to be a severe blow to labor.
 Those who conducted the agitation now say that the city officials who were supposed to be most friendly to labor did not stand by the labor unions as they were expected to do. and that their professions of friendship were not car ried out in practice.

SAID TO HAVE SOLD OUT
Claim That Aguinaldo's Capture Was a
 Fake

SALT LAKE CITY, April 16.-Agui- naldo sold out to the United States for $50,000, according to E. B. Nort- man, an army contractor, who arrived here from Manila today. He has been in the islands for six years.
 "I had private sources of informa- tion and knew that negotiations were pending between Aguinaldo and Gen eral Macarthur some time before left. But did not need this private infor- nation, for it was generally known in Manila that Aguinaldo had named his price and could be had any time it was paid. There was some hesitancy on the part of MacArthur in paying that amount when I left, and the deal was consequently hanging fire. The thing was fixed up for Funston to make a pretense of a capture. The corre- spondents sent out long before the cap ture knew exactly what was going to be done.
 "If the authorities had not known it was a cut-and-dried affair, they would never have allowed the information to be given out"
 "Pio del Pillar sold out for $25,000 was captured. and inside of a few weeks was back with the Filipinos again. There are 50,000 Filipinos un- der arms at present. which will be in- creased to 150.000 when the rainy sea son begins"
 Mir Nortman formerly lived at Beau mont, Texas.

ENTIRE VILLAGE IS SWEPT AWAY
Italian Town Is Overwhelmed by Land.

Paris-Details of the total disap- pearance of the Italian village of Vag- lio, in Etruscan des Apennines, during the night of March B, are given by the Figaro.
 Only four inhabitants escaped. It seems that slight sliding movement of the upper part of the mountain had been noticed fortnight before, but the villagers, after recovering from their terror, returned to their homes, con- vinced that the danger was past. About midnight, when everybody was asleep, fatal landslide occurred, car rying the whole village to the bottom of narrow valley. The river, being blocked, rose rapidly and soon flooded everything The village cemetery was upheaved and lot of coffins were washed down, the skeletons startling the inhabitants of the other places be- low.
 When an investigation was started it was found that great snowstorm had taken place, covering the entire scene four feet deep.
