A Difference in Usage.

BY WARDON ALLAN CURTIS.
<Copyright 1902, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
The Rev. Philetus Carson Of the
diocese of New York had at last Sc
cured a parish whose income made
E@l feel warranted in asking some
one to share his lot. It had been a
long time coming, this parish with a
comfortable salary, twenty-five years,
and Carson was now forty-four. There
was no time to be lost. "In fact" said
Carson to his friend, the prebendary,
Il already feel the habits of bachelor
growing on me and fear that If I do
not marry soon they will so far have
fastened themselves on me as not to
be shaken off.
Eyes. l think they will begin to
grow on you quite soon, now" said
the prebendary, who had been married
twenty years.
Almost coincidentally with Carson's
tnvestiture in his new parish, came a
diocesan convention at Saratoga,
which in those ante-bellum days was
the summer social capital of the coun-
try, and the unnumbered rivals that
have arisen since were unknown. Car
son came to this scene Of gaiety with
his heart auttering like girls,
dreaming of meeting his fate there
among the throngs Of women from all
over the land. 1t was on the second
day that he met Miss Miriam Mani
gault of South Carolina, who attended
all the sessions Of the convention, a
devout churchwoman, whom the bish-
op, apparently divining the matri-
monial aspirations of his now eligible
subordinate and resolved to further
them, had taken particular pains to
introduce to Carson.
Carson fell in love at once. Not
quite at once, but after not over five
minutes debating with himself
whether native Of anti-slavery Yer
mont ought to marry South Carolin-
ian and thereby lend countenance to
the continuance of black bondage.
Why did it devolve upon him, one per-
son, to endeavor to put down the Pc
culiar institution? Answer, Miss
Manigault was perfectly charming.
Was the North right, or the South ?

Rev. G = = was no advocate of an

saw this notice signed by a stockman

SUMMER SEASON AT sEAsHORE.


1t is a curious fact that mankind IN
all ages have always been prone TO
make trips in the midsummer days to
the shores of the great ocean. Even in
the earliest days of this country it was
noticed and recorded by old writers,
that the Indian tribes living far in the
interior had their well-dehned trails to
the sea coast, used in their annual sum-
mer journeys for the purpose of fish
ing, fowling or bathing.
For many years long after the Reyo-
Hutton, the inhabitants of the United
States were all comparatively a short
distance from the coast, so that they
could easily spend their moments OF
recreation amidst its pleasures, and
Though a majority of its citizens are
now located, most of them quite a dis
ltance from the seashOre, they have not
Host their early traits and still pre-
lserve an inherent love for old ocean.
In consequence, the great question
now is not "Shall / visit the seashore
this summer?' "but "How shall / best
reach there?"

land Reading Route" with its magnifi
lcent system of swift, safe and luxuri.

COLLISION DAMAGEES
STEAMER CUMBERLAND

Boston, Mass, July SIN a thick
fog the Eastern Steamboat Company's
steamer Cumberland and the United
Fruit Company's steamer Admiral Far
ragut were in collision in the harbor
yesterday. and the Cumberland, in a
sinking condition, put back to her dock
and landed safely the passengers with
whom she had started for Maine ports
only half an hour before. The Ad-
miral Farragut, with bent stem and
damaged forward works, steamed more
slowly up to her berth.
Efforts were made to stop the hole
in the Cumberlands side with bedding
and other material, and it was hoped
to patch her up so that she could so on
the ways at high tide. The pan, how
ever, did not work successfully, and
when the tide came in the steamer
filled rapidly and tugs could not float
her. At high tide only the top of her
saloon deck and two smokestacks We're
visible. The damage to the cargo will
be heavy
The loss to the Eastern Steamship
Company, including repairs, loss of
revenue and other expenses, will ap-
proach 100000. The Farragut will re-
quire a few thousand dollars for re-
pairs.

NEW WSPAPER OPINION
Money and Business

From the New York Tribune.
After a brief period of strength call
money reacted. and there was no ey-
idence OF stringency, although trans
actaons in connection with heavy div
ldend payments made a brisk demand
for funds. Owing to the change of
United States Steel preferred payments
TO next month. the July disbursements
az this city will not exceed S135,000, 900,
yet this is greater than in any other
year, except 1901, while IL is already
certain that August will surpass all
records for that month. Return Of
these large sums during the next week

especially as stock market require

continues to come this way, and Gov
fmnment payments FOR pensions and

tiOns. Lower internal revenue col
lections win accentuate this tendency.
Official returns OF national finances at
the end of the fiscal year are OF kind

lduction in the interest-bearing debt and
a partial curtailment of revenues. there
was net available cash balance Of

risen to about S56O.OOO.OO0. Wqln this
