The Cruel Piano.

My landlady's little boy, separated
from me only by a thin lath partition of
wall, is playing five-finger exercises
in halting rythm and with innumerable
false notes. The instrument is one in
which the flight Of years has left tone
like discontinued nutmeg crater.
The little boy, a pale child in long
pinafore, and big white ears, hates his
chosen instrument as much as do, and
so we meet on a level of mutual afIlic-
ton. loathe hearing him, and he hates
his instrument; now, in the name Of
good common sense, why must he be
offered up as a sacrifice?
His mother is a poor woman, and the
tinkling cottage piano with the plated
faded green front represents the chops
and many other wholesome things she
has not eaten, and what she allows the
young lady in the third-floor back, who
takes her board out in piano lessons, is
for?
Why is all the world playing an un-
necessary piano?
Marriage has fatal effect on music.
For some occult reason as soon as girl
is married-the grave of so much money
and ime-retires out of active life, and
swathed in cart drapcries'', burdened
by vases, cabinet photographs and imi-
tation "curios'', serves less as musi-
cal instrument than warning; but no
sooner are the next generations legs
long enough to dangle between the key
board and the pedals, than the echoes
awaken to the same old false notes that
serve no parpose, unless an hour Of
daily martyrdom oyer a tear-splashed
keyboard is an excellent preparation for
the trials of ife.-MRs. JOHN LANE in

Cardinal Gibbons Expresses Views On
Woman Suffrage.

New Orleans, June 13.-The Plea
yune's Baltimore special says:
Cardinal Gibbons delivered an address
today at the commencement exercises
at Mount St. Agnes College, one of the
most exclusive female seminaries in this
section, during which he made an attack
on woman suffrage.
Among other things, he said:
'tWoman today is the peer of her hus-
band, not the slave of his caprice and
season. She is, as she ought to be,
queen of the domestic household Sne
owes her position to the Catholic chu rch
for it is by that church she has been
emancipated and proclaimed the equal
of her censor.
"But because you are equal in quality
it does not mean you should have the
same functions to perform. Some wo-
men are not satisfied with their own
power; they want to invade the mans
privileges and they want to vote. l
trust they will never get the authority
to do that, for when women mingle with
the political life she loses her freshness.
You cannot vote, but you can make your
men vote to please you, and you cannot
preach. Some of these new women get
angry with ST. Paul and call him an old
fogy and an old bachelor, but he was
right. You can preach in your own
home, for the best teacher is the good,
pious, Christian mother"

item of salvage, and from that alone the
wreckers expect to reimburse them
selves for all they paid to the exposition
officials. They are shipping about 25
carloads day to Texas, and hope to
make a contract with the Panama Canal
Commission. The fencing around the
grounds is about fifteen miles long, and
that, of course, is valuable for similar
purposes.
There is an enormous quantity of con-
struction iron in the building, but n one
of it has thus far been sold. The big
arches of the manufacturers building
at Chicago were sold for a steamship
pier in New York, but were made worth
less by the fire and had to go to the
scrap-heap. Out of the other buildings
at Chicago, however, came big steel
mill near Pittsburg, the car shops at
Harvey, near Chicago, and several OF the
buildings in Dowie's town of Zion,
near Waukegan. The biggest Catholic
church in Milwaukee, belonging to a
Polish congregation, in care Of Father
Krutza, was built from the Wreckage of
the wreckage Of the Chicago postoftice.
The Illinois Theater at Chicago Is built
of it also. The buildings of the ship
building plant at Fore River, Mass,
came out of the Buffalo exposition, as
did the shops of the Lamb Wire and
Fence Company at Adrian, Mich.
The wreckers paid $4,000 for the
Chicago buildings and lost money; they
paid $4,000 for those at Buffalo and
800, 900 for those at Omaha and made a
large profit, and they expect to make
big money here. Most OF their business
is done by correspondence. People
write to them for everything magma
BILE. Mr. Harris got letter the other
day from an old lady out West who
asked him to send her a souvenir of the
exposihon-something she could keep
and hand down to her children. She
said that even a nail would be welcome.
There are four brothers in the COM
pany, sons Of Moses Harris, one of the
early settlers Of Chicago, who lived in
that city sixty years until he died four
years ago. They, like their father, are
natural Yankee traders, and will buy
on a speculation that is offered
them if they can get it at their price.
At the close Of the Chicago exposition
they bought the Ferris Wheel for SO 200,
originally it cost several hun
dred thousand. They spent St75;000 to
take it down and set it up again at st.
Louis, and now they are negotiating
with a syndicate that proposes to re-
move it to Coney Island, New York.

The horticultural, agricultural and
the forestry, fish and game buildings
haye all been torn away, and nothing
remains to mark where they stood ex-
cept enormous piles of lumber, which
are being carefully sorted over and
trimmed at sawmill, buZzing away at
the very spot where the big ears of corn
were displayed. There were 100000
feet of timber and lumber in the agri-
cultural building, of which about so per
cent was recovered in commercial sizes.
The bigger the building the less the
lumber is out. Three million feet OF
lumber were saved from the horticultu-
raj building, and Mr.. Harris, the mana
ger for the wrecking company, tells me
that they will save, altogether, about
90000,o 900 feet, which will sell for So a
thousand and upward. Lumber that
has been badly used and is full of nails
is cut into short lengths for fuel and
other purposes, Lumber is the greatest

"Malt tonic," says press special from
the capital city, which has had a run in
Jackson this summer must go. Chief of
Policet Williams Wednesday morning
issued orders to the patrolmen to this
effect, suspecting that the tonic is moth
ing but poor quality of beer. He has
collected various brands and submitted
them to the chemist of Millsaps College
for analysis. All those who have been
engaged in selling malt tonic have pro-
Yided themselves with an internal reve-
nue. license on the advice of the whole
salers. ''Malt tonic," has been sold all
over Jackson, every corner grocery hav-
ing it on ice. 1t is said that since the
hot weather began one grocery has been
averaging at least 200 bottles day land
that on some days the sales have run
to 800 and 400 bottles. Chief William
on Wednesday, in company with num-
Der of officers made tour of the places
where "malt tonic" is sold and confis-
Gated several hundred bottles, which
were placed in the city Jail. He also de-
livered a warning not to sell any more.

The sheriff of Perry county was eu-
chered a few nights ago. He had lock-
ed up in his Office in the courthouse over
$4,000 worth of liquor of various kinds
which he had seized in different raids.
Under the cover of darkness, some per
son or persons whose propensity for
drink exceeded their honesty, Graded"
his office and carried off the booze. On
account the amount of plumber it is sup
posed that the thieves must have had
wagons to Esprit off the loot.

Gulfport News.

Gulfport News,
The grand jury at its late session
found true bill against the chief of
police of Gulfport for some dereliction
in the enforcement of the law, but what
the particular charge is does not seem
to be known, and that Mr.. Wells, the
chief, will clear his skirts of the charge
there is not the least doubt But the
Indictment seemed to have ratified him,
and he went so far as to step over into
antebellum days and pick up one of the
old blue laws and instructed his police
men to enforce it. This law is known as
the Sunday closing law, and last Sun
day fruit stands, except one, and the
news stands were closed as tight as a
bear trap. The next morning one case
came up before the mayor and he un-
locked the bear trap, kicked the blue
law into the ditch, and told the proprie-
tors of these stands that they were do
ing good act for the people-the peo-
pie must have something to eat on Sun
day, something to drink besides hot ar
tesian water, and should have news
papers as we'll as the bible to read on
the Sabbath day. In other words, he
kicked the props out from under the old
blne law, and down went McGinty. Mr..
Wells did only what he construed to be
his duty, the mayor did what he was GER
tain was right, and certainly what is ap-
proved by the people, and Wen eat ice
cream and drink soda water and read
neWspaners- next Sunday to beat sixbits.

Amazon Ira Lucas, who has been,
and is now, giving lectures at Bozemap,
Mont, on the laws of heredity and
health and aiding those who sought to
be cured by his advice and treatment
was arrested few days ago charged
with practicing medicine without n
license as required by the state law. He
was fined 500, which. together with the
cost, amounted to $780, The case was
at once appealed to the District court,
where Mr.. Lucas will no doubt get JUS
tice and be acquitted, as he prescribes
or uses no medicine in the practice of
his profession and this was the testimo
ny of several witnesses who claimed that
they had been greatly benefited by the
defendant. The writer hereof has known
Mr.. Lucas for some time and has always
found him to be law abiding and gen.
tleman in every sense of its meaning.
The Republican Courier, the leading
paper of Bozeman, spoke very fiatter-
ingly editorially of Mr.. Lucas. Envy
and jealousy on the part of physicians
at that place is no doubt at the bottom
of the whole affair.

In Berlin the authorities hold the
theory that all foreigners reside there
by simple sufferance, and may to be
asked to leave at any moment. No
reason is ever given for any expulsion
beyond the curt police formula, ''Fur-
ther residence is denied" But expui-
sion is rarely or never resorted 10.

NEW THEORY OF THE CREATION.
According to This, Adam Was De-
signed as Filtzrer.


Many reasons have been assigned
for the creation of man, and many tho
uses to which he has been put; but 1t
was reserved for woman to discover
that our first parent was designed as a
filterer.
The Sunday school in the parish OF
st. NJ. was called to order by the gen
tie. genial pastor. The lesson was
from Genesis. which the busy bustling
wife of the parson expounded to
class of sixteen-year-old girls in the
following manner:
You see. girls, by closely studying
the text, that by every natural and di-
vine law woman is mans superior. in
the beginning the Almighty made man
out of black dirt, there being no better
material lying round. After the divine
essence was breathed into man, the
Creator found a substance good enough
for the creation of woman. Eve was
strained through Adam, the latter be-
ing used as a filterer, so to speak.
When woman is wicked it is an indf-
cation that some of the gritty black
particles of the original old Adam
have escaped in the process of filtra-
tion. For woman in comparison with
man is as the purest. whitest diamond
dust to the blackest dirt"

Risk Versus Security.

There never was harder master
than the uncertain. Nothing venture
Lothing win" is a true proverb. and
sometimes it is a good guiding priD-
ciple. If a single question and not
a general principle were under dis
cussion we might say that the condt-
tions warrant a venture. AS a rule
we are profoundly convinced that
sure dollar is better than possible
ten dollars; that comfort is always
preferable to wealth in lottery. The
one thing to be avoided above all
others is instability of income. This
is not to suggest that under all condi
tions a man should prefer the settled
and sure.-The Independent.
