JOSS AND SAINT ln NLW YORK
A Comparison of Christian ana Budd- hist Observances in the East~
 ern Metropolis.

@ Long-ago missionaries, whose chro- hologic notions were q little bit con fused, declared that Buddhism was a palpable imitation of, if not deliber- ate steal from, Christianity. Besides the similarities in tenet were those in ritual and ceremony. This likeness may be seen by any New Yorker for himself, says the Post of that city. The heavy immigration of Neapolitans and Sicilians has produced several lit tie Italys in New York, which celebrate the festas of home with more enthu- sias. l even than is observed n the ia ther1and. A feature of these celebra- tions is the presentation of votive candles to patron saints and to the Virgin.
 On the other hand, in Chinatown nearly every grocery store carries a stock of ,orientalvotiyesc candles, which are presented to Buddha; the Goddess of Mercy, Qwang Yin; the God of War, Qwang ri; and the God of Literature, Man-Mo-Mew. These candles are made to suit all tastes, as we'll as all conditions of the pocketbook. They range from poor, cheap, little red af- fairs like the Christmas-tree candles, up to stately creations, four, five and six feet in length. The Italians use both red and white, while the Chinese confne themselves almost exclusively to red. They use white and yellow upon special occasions, a white candle being symbolic of death and yellow one of, heaven, or the Son of Heaven, who is the emperor of the celestial kingdom.
 Formerly both the Chinese and ItaI ians depended for their candles upon importing merchants. In the last few months the manufacture has sprung uL in this city, and now attains fair pro portions. In many respects the New York candles are better bits of work manship than the imported ones. The latter are usually softer and greasiel than the former and produce smokier light. The homemade are manufac- tured from stearin, para fin, or wax, al though the last-named substance is growing into disuse. The finest quail ity imported from China are made from insect wax specially perfumed, while one variety of the Italian import. ed is made from clarified wax of fine quality. perfumed with the mild scent of blossoms.
 Both Italian and Chinese employ a candle which is really a shell within which the candle itself is placed and held in position by means of helical sPriyg at the bottom of the shell. These shells are often profusely deco rated and are strikingly handsome. The Italians prefer as ornamentation leaf-work and geometrica1 patterns, while the Chinese like minute bas-re. Hefs of men, gods, dragons, mountains, and landscapes. A handsome shell with candle within ranges from one dollar up to fifty, according to size and workmanship. It is durable and is used as an ornament in church or Joss-house for many years.

 Naugatuck has not yet fully recov- cred from the terrible shock it received Thursday evening when the news that Miss Mamie Qufnlan had been killed in train wreck near Danbury reached here. People who have known the un- fortunate young lady for years could not bring themselves to the point of realizing that the report was true. Miss Quinlan had host of friends in this borough and not one enemy. All who came in contact with her could not help but love and respect her. Possessed of pleasing disposition and charming manner, she made many and fast friends everywhere she went. Last evening hundreds of her sorrow ing friends called at her late home on Cherry street to view the remains of her who but day or two ago was one of the happiest and jolliest girls in Naugatuck. By her death Naugatuck has lost one it could ill afford to lose, and Miss Quinlan's friends have lost one most dear to them, and her charm ing and pleasing as we'll as winning ways will be kept in halloWed memory by those who loved her.

Morning Mass for Printers Often At

 tended by 600 Night Workers.
 When the Rev. Father Luke Evers of this city, says Newspaperdom of New York city, talked with Pope Leo XIII, in July, he discovered that there was at least one subject about which the pontiff was not well informed. The New York priest, who was just returning from Rome, was the trst person to explain the modern work ings of journalism to His Holiness, be- ing rector of St. Andrews church, where a special mass for Park Row printers is celebrated at 2:3O o'clock every Sunday morning.
 Tt was the 22d of July that was presented to the Holy Father" said the rector the other day. T had gone to Rome to make my first report on the results of the early mass, which I am permitted to celebrate through a special dispensation. As soon as Bish- op O'Gorman, who was introducing members of our party, had told His Holiness who was, the latter said to me:
 "And how do the printers manage to get up so early in the morning ?''
 They don't have to get up,' re- piled. for they are already up.'
 "'Whyr he inquired.
 They work all night explained. because they have to get out the Sun day newspapers. They have to start on their work at six in the evening, and continue on duty until two or even later in the evening.
 "This seemed to surprise him very much. He wanted to know all about the way the Sunday newspapers were issued, and told him. Evidently he had the idea that the Sunday editions were printed on Saturday and then distributed Sunday morning. It took him several minutes to realize that my mass could be attended by from 400 to 500 night workers, and he told me Italy didn't have so many men who had to labor while most folks were sleeping.
 The party to which Father Evers be- lOnged numbered about 250 Americans. They were ushered into the audience chamber together, just after the pope had received large delegation of h. dian princes who had been to England for the coronation. All the princes. Father Evers said, were clad in their most gorgeous robes, and it was a fine sight to see them file out of the pon- tiH's presence in g column of twos.
 Father Evers made his report on the early printers mass to the prefect of the propaganda. It was to the effect that the mass had been a great sue cess, and that the number of worship. pers was increasing steadily.

She Does Not FIirt.

The one girl in the world who does not understand the art of flirting is she of the Philippine islands. She is womanly and interesting extremely graceful, as straight as an arrow and always picturesque, but seldom pret- ty. A girl becomes young lady at 12 or B; by 35 she is probably 2 grandmother, but even at the ad- vanced age of 50, she is still supple and graceful and picturesque. The type of beauty of all the Pacific is- lands is the same. The skin is yellow or brown, the hair straight and shiny black, the eyes soft and lustrous, and the teeth white. The girls are modest to the last degree Free Press.

The site of the lost Indian city, Mascoutens, which was reported as having 10000 inhabitants in 1875, has been determined by the labors of Thomas Clithero, of Portage, Wis, now extended over many years. It was the largest city in all Indian history, so far as United States terri totry is concerned, and the descrip- tions of the Jesuits in the course of the seventeenth century, closing with Marquette and Joliet in 1873, are said to have been verified. d.-Cleve- land Plain Dealer.

IN MEMORIAM

The death of the late Lila Redfern has caused great sorrow among her many friends. Though the deceased had been suffering long and all felt that death to her meant release from intense suffering still they felt too that truly they had lost one of their best, their truest friends.
 Hers was a character not often met with. one which can never be too highly appreciated. Genial, kind and patient ever, forgetting her own trou- ble. to lessen that of another; she was to all who knew her all that friend and woman could be.

sswhat is the propositicn?' q said MT.

ssWhat is the propositicn! 2! said Mir Baer celdly
 "Juak this,' said Governor Odell. 'I am sure that the labor organization of which Ar. Mitchell is the head desires him to be fair with the general public. If the operators will consent to give the men cents ton increase, l will per- sonally present. it to the miners, and I believe they will accept it. It is fair proposition"
 sDoes this mean, Governor Odell, that we are to recognize the miners union ?" Mr. Baer asked
 Tt certainly aees," answered Gov ernor 0delT quickly, land there is no reason why yea shs1ld not.'
 Mir. Baer and MT. Thomas rose to go, MT. Thomas renarking that the matter would be presented to the other opera tors and that an early answer would be forthcoming. Mr. Baer said:
 ssWe are to meet committee of the Manufacturers association on Tuesday, and we may have an answer then.
 The conference broke up, MT. Baer and Mir. Thomas withdrawing. Sen ators Platt, Penrose and Quay talked over the matter fer short time, and then they, too, separated, the two Penn sylvanians announcing that they would go back to Harrisburg and discuss the situation with Governor Stone.
 Governor Oden was not in talking mood when he left the conference. He went directly to the Fifth Avenue ho- tel and during most of the afternoon NFou 0TU G. McCoOk, Edward Lauterbach, Con- gressmen Lessler and Littauer and Senator Platt were among his callers. To one of these the governor said:
 "The coal operators may postpone this matter until Tuesday, but I don't propose to postpone it. They are not acting fairly toward the people. I be- lieve shall find some remedy"
 There is Eothing to justify the asser- ton that negotiations will be resumed next Tuesday. As one of the coal pres idents put it, 'the incident is closed"
 'The publicists," said this gentle man, made a number of suggestions, all of which we turned down. These included 10 per cent increase in pay, a decrease of working hours and rec ognition of the union as well as num- Der of other propositions which we re gard as equally undebatable. In fact, we found it impossible to negotiate with them and said so.
 "What their next step will be can not say, but they understand that we cannot be moved. repeat we will not meet them again. It is frivolous and is hound to result in further i'll feeling"
 Another operator said:
 s'It is not fer us to consider mere matters of political expediency. Had so called statesmen kept their hands off the strike would have been settled long ago. We have taken a stand for principle, and no amount of ar Wment VI: budge us."

 Area of devastation Saint Vincent about twelve square miles in northern extremity; population of this area was eight thousand, of which sixteen hun dred lost their lives, remainder escaped by flight to Kingstown and other places. No such overwhelming catas trophe as at Saint Pierre yet many peo- pie to be sustained by public because many escaped. Outside of area devas- tated no great damage done but people very apprehensive. This condition will not abate until volcano which is still active subsidies. Second eruption oc- cured eighteenth, but no additional damage wrought. Supplies of all kinds from Dixie most gratefully received and will with what was on hand, provide for present population for three months
 Lumber for rebuilding is asked.  outside of St. Vincent and Martinique. Now that emergency has been met, would advise sending supplies gradual ly, and only after inquiry as to actual needs, as a great quantity sent at once might prove more embarrassing than beneficial. Stores on the Dixie we'll se- lected."
