An Atchison county man aged about
70 years, recently got into serious trou-

A man is mean, it seems, until he Is

DR.. Samuel D. Mcconnell, one Of the
prominent Episcopal clergymen of New
York city, startled his brethren in the
Episcopal congress which is being held
in Boston, by asserting that the church
of today is a nakeshift. He denounced
loyalty to a creed and declared that it
kept more people from church than it
attracted, and he advocated a radical
change in the whole policy of the
church, especially in the teaching of
the young in the Sunday schools.

BAII4ADE OF MOONS LAST PHASE


Of nature now she seems to tire,
NO longer through the woods she'll
stray.
The sunrise she does not admire
Not in the old romantic way.
The thrush's mellow roundelay
Just now appeals to her in vain. a
She lOatheS the scent of new-mowu hay,
The honeymoon is on the wane.
He sits and yawns beside the fire
And smokes, nor asks her If he may.
For starlight walks he's no desire;
AT billiards he would sooner play.
He hasn't picked her a bouquet
For weeks, nor does the bride complain.
They're both. in fact, quite ennui,
The honeymoon is on the wane.
The spark of love may not expire
And leave them. naught but ashes gray,
But something more they both require
For some sort of relief they pray.
They're happy, but no question they
Have felt at times a little strain
Some trouble getting through the day.
The honeymoon is on the wane.
IENVOI.
They'll pretty soon be blithe and gay
When back to town they take the train.
Much longer they're not apt to stay.
The honeymoon is on the wane.

FROM OTHER PENS
PLUMBERS AT LAW.

If we are to have a government of
law it is obvious that the men who
make laws and attempt to enforce
them should have some knowledge of
law and precedent. The Hepburn act,
designed to prevent railroad compan-
les from owning and operating coal
mines and monopolizing the fuel supply,
is practically nullified by the supreme
court of the United States because it
fails to state in proper language it's real
intent. The slovenly character of the
Hepburn legislation is shown by the
fact that the court has passed re-
yet no one in congress or in the cab
met seems to have had knowledge of
the situation until the court itself drew
attention to it.
This blunder is the more remarkable
for the reason that there are laws In
various states which effectively cover
the very evil here aimed at. In several
commonwealth 1t is unlawful for one
corporation to hold the stock of anoth-
er. There are states in which corpor-
atoms are forbidden to own land. In
effect the judgment just handed down
|nullifies the main feature of the Hep
burn law, but it intfmates very poirCed
ly that congress may do exactly what
T. attempted to do whenever 1t shall be
so disposed and shall be able to sum-
mon to its assistance the legal talent
necessary to draw a valid act. The
court, which was practically unani
nous, has done its part If congress
has any sense of shame or of humor
or Of the fitness of things it will make
haste to correct blunder that re-
fleets as severely upon its sincerity as
It does upon it's intelligence.-New
York World.
SENATORIAL PERSONALITIES.
The people of the United States are
always filled with regret when they
read of the exchange of unpleasant
personalities on the floor of the SEN
ate. They cannot help but feel that
it lowers their dignity as nation and
decreases the public respect for the
distinguished individuals who repre-
sent them there. In a discussion of
great national questions touching the
welfare of all the country's citizens
there Is on room for the injection of
personal acrimony. With an infinite
pride they recall the infant days of
this republic, when 1t was nourished
by a company of strong men whose
relations in debate were invariably
conducted with courtesy and personal
consideration.
An exchange of abuse is not de-
bate. personal reflections are not ar
gumentS. A good cause is not helped
nor a bad one vanquished by them.
They hinder public service rather
than advance it, and drive the oppos-
ing forces further apart when. as ev-
bate is to bring them together The
people of the United States would like
to see senators facilitate their i'm
portant work and clothe themselves
with dignity by eliminating from their
discussions all remarks of an invid-
ious personal Observation-Disclosures

Celebration Of the Silver Jubnsss In
 Silver City,

Silver City.
 With the celebration of the silver jubilees of four of the oldest living sisters of Mercy in Arizona and New Mexico, yesterday, closing with the commencement exercises of the academy, June 24, will long be remembered in the history of the Sisters of Mercy, established in Arizona and New Mexico in 1880.
 The four silver jubilarians whose professions were celebrated are Mother Superior Mary Paul, Sisters Peter, Alacoque and Joseph. all well known in this city in connec- tion with the local Mercy hospital.
 The silver jubilee opened with a solemn pontifcal high mass, with the papal benediction to the jubil- iarians, Bishop Granjon of the diocese of Tucson, celebrant, as- sisted by Very Rev. E. Girard, vicar general.
 A reception followed in which the jubiliarians were the recipients of the hearty congratulations of the assembled clergy, sisters and guests of the community for the occasion. Many telegrams were received felicitating them on the completion of the twenty-ffth wear of their religious profession.
 Mother Superior Mary Paul has been the head of the Sisters of Mercy of Arizona and New Mexico, since 1887. She is native of French Park, Roscommon county, Ireland. Her maiden name is O'Grady. She came to the United States twenty-eight years ago, and entered the Convent of Mercy of Mesilla, New Mexico, as a postul- ant. Receiving the white veil six months later. She made her final vows, receiving the black veil, a quarter of century ago yesterday with her sister jubiliarians, who have been identified with her in the noble work which has been ac- complished since their profession.
 Mother Superior Mary Paul com pines with deep christian piety a business ability of high order. She is recognized as the best fnancier and ablest business manager the institution has had since its or- ganization. In her twenty-two years administration the Silver City sanitarium, the Phoenix Mercy hospital, the Prescott Mercy hospi- tai and the Nogales Mercy hospital, have been financed and built. These institutions are now flour. ishing. They are patronized by patients from as far east as the Atlantic seaboard who repeat their visits annually in summer on ac-
 
 count of the courteous and efficient treatment accorded by the sisters in charge.
 In her work for the advancement of the institutions in her charge she has been ably assisted by her sister jubiliarians. In 1889 she was accompanied by Sister Peter to Ireland. On this occasion eleve n postulants accompanied them ho me to Silver City where they entered the convent and are now ably as. sisting in the noble and charitable work.
 Besides the institutions named above she has in her charge the Academy of Our Lady of Lourdes where the jubilee was celebrated yesterdav, followed bv the com.
