The exhibition OF ecclesiastical art at

Thirty-fourtn Street, New York city, has
been enriched by the loan of one of the
binding in silver which has ever appear

borders have designs to symbolic the

Long Name. His Adherence.

Rev. Charles Dalmer, pastor of Holy
Cross Catholic church at Baltimore, is
a man of peculiarities in many things,
but his notions that strike some people
as odd are generally based upon sound
common sense, One of his pet aver
sions is the bestowal of long names
upon children.
Il don't believe in them," he says.
They make me tired. Sometimes peo-
pie come here with baby to be chris
tened l take it in my arms and ask.
What is her name to be?'
Amelia Ella Martha Washington
JONES' they answer.
Then l look at them in way they
don't understand and l ask What are
you going to call her when you want
her to stop playing with the matches
and go to bed?'
Ella they answer
And l go on with the service and
christen the child Ella wouldn't load
the little things down with any such
burdens as amelia Ella Martha Wash
ington. The parents think she's been
christened that, and if it's any comfort
to them I'm satisfied. It's their fault
and didn't have any hand in it,"

right OF the United States to proclaim
strict neutrality between the bellig-
erents, maintaining with regard to the
alliance with France that nation
may hold in allegiance or renounce en-
tirely the operation of a treaty when
a contingency not contemplated there
in arising-as in the case of France
revolutionizing its form of government
renders it either dangerous or dis
agreeable to itself to fulfil the pro-
visions thereof
Furthermore, he held that France
did not possess stable government,
which was at best what it's trainers
denominated it, provisional make
shift.
On the 22d of April the neutrality
proclamation was duly issued. Genet
arrived at the seat of government on
May 16. For several days, in utter dis
regard of his diplomatic obligations,
he gave himself up to festivities, ne
glecting to present his credentials un-
til the 10Th, when he made his official
such chilling, yet polite, dignity, that
it is said he withdrew from the audi
ence "abashed and subdued," by the
majestic presence and demeanor of
the Father of His Country"
The state of public feeling in the
country was still warm for our rev.
olutionary ally and rather frigid to-
ward our ancient foe, Lafayette's and
Rochambeau's reception being still
fresh in memory, and Lexington and
Bunker Hill not yet forgotten.
But the weather-vane of political
feeling is subject to sudden changes.
Not long after this the French con-
sui at Boston, M. Mozard, sent a
suavely worded letter of protest to
the governor of Massachusetts, in
which he directed attention to the
fact that three vessels were loading
horses for the English government at
a Boston wharf.
The council duly considered tho
complaint, and advised the governor,
in a communication attested by its
secretary, John Avery, to refer the
matter to the collector of the port.
This was done by the governors in
dorsement thereon.
Gen. Lincoln disposed of the affair

Irretriev.b,y Damaeed.

Although cattle are plentiful, in
Mexico and beef is cheaper than on
this side of the Rio Grande, the quail
ity is far inferior to that produced in
the state. A returned traveller, relat-
ing an experience he recently had in
the land of the greaser, says:
You can buy any kind of beef but
sirloin for 20 cents a kilo-less than
10 cents a pound-and sirloin is only
% cents kilo. But the best cuts of
Mexican beef are tougher than rhi-
nocerous hide. When | first went to
Mexico l ordered a tenderloin at a ho-
tel in Durango, but l couldn't cut it
to save my neck. l told the waiter it
wouldn't do and he removed it. Pres
emily, however, he returned. accom-
panied by the proprietor of the hotel,
and laid the platter on the table.
What's the matter with the steak?'
asked the hotel man in Spanish.
Tough said 1. Why, | can hardly
stick fork into it, much less knife
Mine host tapped it over with the fat
of the knife and eyed it obviously.
I'm sorry he said, but it's the best
in the house. At any rate, l can't take
it back-it's bent.

in these curt words: Il do not know
of any law of the United States which
forbids clearing out vessels with
horses on board to any part of the
world in possession of a neutral pow
er. Consequently, l cannot refuse a
clearance under the circumstances"
The fitting out at Boston of the
privateer Petit Democrat was the
last straw. Originally she was Brit
ish merchantman-the little Sarah
taken by one of Genet's privateers
and brought into Philadelphia. where
she was fitted out and commissioned
in the service of France, Genet re-
naming her as above. This action
was indeed boarding the lion in his
den.
Washington happened to be at Mt.
Vernon at the moment, and the
French envoy, seizing the occasion.
prepared to hurry the vessel off to
sea. But Gov. Mifflin interposed, or
dering Genet to hold the privateer un-
til the presidents return. White with
rage, Genet flew to Jefferson, de-
nounced the governor and Washing
ton, declaring neither had any author
ity to interfere with his projects
without the sanction of congress, and
impudently proclaimed that he would
cause the president to convene that
| ody on his return.
The privateer slipped away in the
night. Was irgton's indignation at
this defiance of his authority. when in.
formed of 1t. led him at last to de-
cisive action with regard to Genet.
It was learned. moreover, that Genet
had carried his presumption SO far as
to publicly threaten to appeal to the
people to take sides in favor of the
cause Of France as against Washing
tons proclamation of neutrality.
Accordingly on the presidents re-
turn the cabinet was summoned, and
1t was determined to demand the en-.
voy's recall.
The mistake Genet made was his
undervaluation of the depth and
strength of the peoples regard for
the character and personality of
Washington.

It Will BE the Supply on Which the
Pacific VIII Draw.
Westward from Kenai the greatest
and most extensive coal field in Alas
ka is reached, cropping out in many
different seams, in two harbors on the
Pacific and one on Behring sea. These
Chignik-Unga- -Herendeen bay coal
measures are The most extensive and
most accessible fields in Alaska, con-
tanning coal in quality next to Kyak,
standing in the front rank of North
Pacific Goals. The coal is hard bril-
liant, clean, and very strong, not
crumbling under severe exposures to
water, freezing and sun, nor with very
rough usage.
The field is of unique value because
of its location in the keystone of the
North Pacific. Not only does the short
est possible steamer line from the
United States or British Columbia run
within twenty miles of this field, but
1T is also the nearest of all American
coal mines to all the island possessions
of the United States on the Pacific, the
nearest point, in fact, of the American
mainland to Hawaii, to Samoa, to
Guam, and to the Philippines, and also
by nearly 1000 miles nearer tnan the
Puget sound mines or San Francisco
to all parts of Asia, and especially to
the great mining region recently devei
oped on the shores of Behring sea-

serious problem was precipitated that
demanded immediate solution. To add
to its embarrassment, differences in
the cabinet on the question at issue de-
veloped which were violently reflected
in public opinion, and the situation
was further complicated by the intelli-
gence that an envoy plenipotentiary
representing the new French govern
ment was on his way to this country
to require the fulfilment of our treaty
obligations.
AS matter of fact that person,
Citizen" Edmond Charles Genet, had
landed ten days before at Charleston
s. c., but the event was unknown at
the seat of government
It duly transpired that Genet's mis-
sion was primarily to embroil the
United States with England and
arouse public support to the observ-
ance of the essentially jug-handled
treaty of 177S. He had been provided
by the French executive council with
300 blank commissions for privateers;
and, said cur minister, Gouverneur
Morris, who reported the fact, they
suppose that the avidity of some ad-
venturers may lead them into meas.
ures which would involve alterca-
tions with Great Britain and terminate
finally in a war;"
Genet reached Philadelphia in the
middle of May. His reception was an
enlarged repetition of what he had al
ready encountered. The populace
seemed driven to a strange fenzy
that had submerged its cherished
ideals. In the heated discussions in
the streets, in public assemblies. at
private social functions and in the op-
position newspapers, Hamilton, Knox.
Jay. and even Washington, were ira
duced and denounced as friendly to
England and opposed to the principles
of true democracy.
The elated Frenchman, unable or
disinclined to discriminate how far
these demonstrations were representa-
tive and how sincere the fulsome
praises of his hosts, or whether they
were but the ebullitions of party feel
ing displayed principally 'for home
consumption" began to believe him
self greater and more popular with
the American people than Washington
himself. Eventually he was to expert.
ence a rude awakening.
Washington viewed the situation
