Pressed with our slxyscrapers, automo-
biles and newspapers. Of the three it is
hard to decide which is the most remark
able but all are impressive enough to
Gillette the admiration of the most blase
celestial who has ever come to these
shores. However, 1t seems that the news
paper is most puzzling to Prince Lun.
whom no one has yet dared to call
"Luny." He says that one day he had
headache and the next morning the
papers told about 1t. Wonderful But the
prince would have been still more amazed
had he known that the papers could have
said that he suffered from a headache
when 1t was in reality his tooth, or vice
versa Great Is the American newspaper,
also the skyscraper and the automobile.
The only reason that Prince Lun does
not speak more enthusiastically of the au-
tomobile is because he has not yet had a
narrow escape from death under a kill

doubt come to the conclusion that the
automobile is about the most surprising
product Of the country.
Great is the injunctioni 1t can be en-
ployed to keep the cat out of the milk,
the workman out of the factories, and
the young man away from his sweetheart.
OF the three the last Is most impor-

ruling of the New Haven common pleas

their communication with an impressionis-

been looking after the young man and

admirers wealth by means of deceitful
practices, and they want 1t stopped. That
is where the case rests but in the mean
time the injunction against the young
man has been issued and there will be
no more developments In a pecuniary way.
A Washington clergyman puffed up his
chest with a great righteousness and re-
buked the nations chief executive and
his wife because they attend different
churches OF course the preacher was In
deadly earnest and thought he was called
upon to make some remarks on the sub
ject, but he could have better employed
his time In discussing something else. As
a matter of fact it is a sign that the hus-
hand and wife have firm religious beliefs
when they steadfastly worship at differ
ent churches, despite the trouble and in
convenience it may entail. The reason
why so many married couples attend the
same church these days is because either
the husband or the wife tolerantly gives
In to the other as regards religion. In
most cases it is the husband who goes
to his wife's church.
The board of lady managers of the
ST. Louis fair were at last forced to de-
pend on a mere man to audit their ac-
counts, despite the fact that they have
contrived to get themselves more talked
about since their activities began than
any other body of women in the whole
United States. As was natural several
of the ladies protested at this masculine
Interference but wiser heads prevailed
and the boards accounts were prevented
