For the encouragement of the gentle
art of domestic economy, for sociability,
and, speaking softly, for the encourage
ment of the opposite sex in the ancient
art of popping" there has been organ
lied in the Bronx the Order of the
Seven Unappropriated Blessings. The
name has been adopted by seven damsels
across Salt River, who have some ideas
of their own about the young men of the
Bronx, and they have organized for mu-i
tual benefit, aid and comfort. The S. vi
BIS start in life as a corporation with
$3.50 in their treasury. 1t costs each sol
cents to enroll. Each is to be taxed Io
cents month until spring, when, during
the period when young mems fanciesl
lightly turn to thoughts other than BUSH
ness troubles, the Seven propose to give
banquet to them. The Seven are going,
to have "sociables" all winter, at which
only charter members will be admitted.
Any member who falls in love thereby
sacrifices her share in the treasury as al
penalty.
Rev. DR.. Charles H. Parkhurst
preached Sunday at Madison Square
Presbyterian Church upon the results of
the insurance investigation. He said in
part: 1t was ten years ago that friend
of mine, employed in an insurance Office
IN this city, and in position that en-,
abed him to get on to the system Of
finance that was already in vogue there,
placed in my hands large amount of
material which he wished might be used
as starting point of an investigation
But placed as we were, it was too much
like trying to plant dynamite bomb
under the throne of Satan to undertake
to combat in the courts an institution
that has so much pocket money that it
can deal out whole scoopfuls of gold
without caring for an accounting; that
can put million and half into salaries
and lawyers, and lay out $72,S6I.Io in
year on wine and terrapin"
The most important theatrical deal =
since the Shuberts withdrew from the
syndicate and became affiliated with
David Belasco and Harrison Grey Fiske-
was completed in the offices of Shubert
Brothers, at the Lyric Theater, when the
Shuberts entered into combinations
with Congressman Joseph l.. Rhinock,
of Covington, KY, and Max Anderson,
wealthy theatrical manager of Gin
cinnati, to build IS theaters in the West
and in Canada. The deal means that
the budding anti-syndicate managers
will be able by the opening of next sea-
son to place their attractions in Is cities
from which they are now barred at this
time by the theatrical syndicate.
Without showing the slightest effect OF
the severe ordeal through which he had
gone, Herman Frank, druggist, 1879

and was endangering his life had been
removed by the most delicate of opera
TONS Frank has a slight scar over his
right eye, and in glass tube is the I'M
broken cyst that had so long threatened
his life. The sack was removed without
being punctured by DR.. E. A. Robinson
of Sc West Thirty-eighth street, and the
patient submitted to the entire operation,
lasting more than an hour, without TAX
ing an anaesthetic He even sat before
mirror SO placed that he could see what
was going on, hoping the interest he
would take might help to ally the agony
Because his wooden leg made such
noise that it disturbed the other tenants,
Andrew Gerison, Union veteran, was
before the Second Criminal Court in Jer-
sey City on complaint of his landlord,
Edward Sell, who said he had appealed IN
vain to Gerison, who comes home late,
to do less humping with the wooden leg.
Gerison began to recount to Judge Man
ming in minute detail his part in the Civil
War and could not be repressed. He
was finally led to the clerks desk and
signed bond to keep the peace.
