BAB ON SUNDAY. She Believes ft to Be the Best of All the Days. Bow We Should Observe Sunday. Going to Church—Recreations of the Day—Surround Yourself by Pleas ant People—The Mlnistsr in the Pul pit-Rev. Mr. Pink, the Sportive Di vine—Bab Believes That Sunday Hospitality and Recreation Should, by All Means, Be Encouraged. New York, June 6.—When I was a little girl I was told that it was called “First day” because the first was always the best, and of all the days of the week it was intended to be the happiest. Later on I was told it was called “Sunday” for. it was duly explained to me, “when the real sun doesn’t shine, then the sun of goodness must glow in your heart and everybody must have a good time.” To me it has always been a day of enjoyment, and yet I know of people who dread it. I know of little children who live in hor ror of it, and of men who sleep through it, and wish themselves at their offices, whenever they are sufficiently wide awake. As the years have gone on I have grown to think about how the day should be observed, and I find myself returning to first principle and believing that of all other times it is the one when there should be the greater amount of happi ness. \ ABOUT GOING TO CHURCH. Now that you decide for yourself. I tell nobody how they shall govern them selves from a religious standpoint; and yet I do not believe that there is any good gained in forcing young people to listen to long sermons and tiresome services, and making the going to church seem a penance, when it shculd be a pleasure. I do not believe in forcing small children to recite hundreds of verses from the Bible, which they do not understand, or insist ing on their listening to prayers that ire largely doctrinal, and which only suggest to them that evidently their Greater must be very ignorant when the clergy man is anxious to teach him so much. What do I believe about this! 1 think a child should be told what it mtans to go to church; that the service it attends should be one which gives it pleasure, and where it will have an opportunity to praise God in the fashion most pleasing to all the little peo ple—by raising their voices in song. Af terward, when your little people have gotten to be bigger, you and they must decide between yourselves what you think wisest; but, my dear people, don’t try and force them to be what you call religious. Around us every day we see examples of the lolly of this. Men who laca all belief because when they were little, religion represented to them weari some hours and punishments in the way of prayers, that were worse a thousand times than all the whippings ever dreamed of. I know a man who says he has gotten the faith of a little child because of his wife; but who, when he married her, de spised everything connected with re ligion, and believed that preacher and hypocrite were synonymous. Do you know why he had gotton into tnis frame of mind { Sunday morning began with a tiresome service of prayer and preaching at home; then followed Sunday school; after this came churdh with a long sermon that never told of love and kindness, but ways of Justice and brimstone. Then came a cold dinner. After this an after noon spent in looking at religious books, which, 1 regret wy, when they arejuot stupid, are tpo foolish. Then fol lowed bread and tea, and after this church again with another long sermon. Ten o’clock saw this boy in bed swearing that when he was his own master he would never listen to a prayer and he would never go to church. THE ONLY WAY TO SPEND SUNDAY. It is true he has changed his mind, but that is because he married a woman who knew how to make religion the beautiful part of one’s life, and how to make Sun day the happiest day in the* week. Nowadays this man goes to church with his little daughters beside him. and af terward .they come home, all have a talk together, or a romp, or else rest awhile. Then come their luncheons, and after the great bliss of the week, the Sun day afternoon outing. It is either off to the country, or down to the water, or out for a drive with father in the park. When they come home, after another rest, the girl who is old enough to come to dinner with the grown-up people, has her finest frock put on, and mother is dressed to look as pretty as possible, and the very best dinner of the week is served, because it is Sunday, and be cause. as the little girl will tell you, “we always havs some pleasant people with us on Sunday night.” If you take a little trouble, you will discover that these pleasant people who are asked are nearly always those who, if they had not been there, would have been under going the somewhat doubtful delight of a boarding-house supper, consisting of stewed prunes and sponge cake, and a liquid commonly and untruthfully called tea. In that house Sunday is God’s day, and yfct there are no Sunday books, for the wise mother says the book which is wrong on Sunday is also wrong on Wednesday. “But,” says Madame Blue, who has a cold dinner, “what about the servants? they have to work.” Well, yes, in away; but they are willing to do it because it is distinctly understood that each one can invite one of her own friends for Sunday evening dinner, and that this friend can be her young man; so that there is joy and merriment down stairs as wall us up, and the mistress knows that ‘-h« has demanded for it good work, he pays them very good wages, and hat loving kindness has brought will < service. BUBROUNDE IT KINDRED AND FRIENDS, j It seems 1 le that the American man, being away m home so much, ought to have his Suwuay made a day of joy to him. Go out to the park any Sunday you like and see the men who are boys again. They are the ones, who, out in tlie bright sunshine, have got their sons with them and are explaining to them all about the animals, or telling them storiea about when they were boys. They are the men who, if they are driving, have got a carriage load of happy children, or if I they .ire walking, are leading the flock, knowing that the rest will follow. The man-who is going to stay young is not that one who is sleeping off the effects of a two hours sermon. I do believe that God made this earth for man, for man to worship him in it, to find out how beautiful are His works, and not for him to be made un happy and to have the day represent tiresome pictures of theological contro versies. Sometimes I am tempted to wonder what.the preachers think. Prayer to me always seems such an easy thing. It is the mere asking from one who knows all about us to give us what we would like to have, and it always seems to me that the more simple the prayer the better it is. But the preachers don’t think that. They commence by thanking heaven for something; then they enter into a con troversy with somebody, go through a long history of the rights and wrongs of certain beliefs, complacently give expres sion to their joy that they are not like the rest of the world, and after a few quotations from some of the densest part DADWAY'S fl READY RELIEF.

Then the sermons. I NEVER WROTE A SERMON, But a sermon suggests to me the taking of a verse of scripture, its application to daily life being shown, and an explana tion made of how one is to do to succeed in the right, and the efforts one must make to keep from the wrong. But, no, the preacher gets up before a congrega tion that ought to hear of the sins of gossip, lying, stealing, profanity, blas phemy, murder and all in the decalogue, with their minor attachments, and he selects a line from the Old Testament; then he proves the relationship of the man who is mentioned in it to some other man. Then he goes on to show what would have happened if these two men hr dn’t been related, and he finishes up by a Long attack on heresy, smiles affably at the congregation and trusts that they will all feel the good effects of the words he has spoken. Half of them haven’t heard what he said, and the other half are not interested. He has talked for seventy minutes and the children in the church who are not asleep are behaving like de mons, which is very proper. Twenty minutes is long enough for any sermon, and in that time all can be said that is necessary for one day. One has to hold on to one’s belief very closely nowadays because I don’t think the clergy are very much help. I don’t think I should care to go with a heart to the Rev. Mr. Pink, who is in all the foot ball games, likes to see a good race and is » most delightful gossip at an afternoon tea. I don’t think I should care to take a sick soul to Father Satin, who break fasts at 12 o’clock at a fashionable res taurant, has a bottle of champagne with his breakfast, and while he is dis cussing it, reads the most off-color paper in town. I don’t think I should oare to take somebody who was doubting to the Rev? Mr. Prance, who believes that he will save the world by personally witnessing all the wickedness in it. bio, the clergy, generalizing, are not an incen tive to belief, but I will tell you what is, my friend. If you will go off quietly to your own room, elose the door, kneel down and take your troubles to God him self, help will come to you. LIVING IN THE SUNSHINE. It may be that none of these things that the preachers do are wrong in themselves, but every human being in this world has to regard the appearance of things, and certainly among the fashionable clergy the giving of scandal is a great sin. Men are only too ready nowadays to rise up and blame the belief because of its so called followers. Do they ever stop to think that when Christ himself was here there was a Judas among the twelve? How many of the raceof Judas have there been since? How many claiming to follow in. the right path have been hypocrites, whose lying lives were laid bare, and who brought shame, if such a thing can be, upon the faith? The best thing for us all to do is to forget these people, to live lives as we can, and always to remember that no matter what is here on earth GOD HIMSELF IS OVER ALL. I tell you, living good lives and sunny lives creates belief. No man can believe that the good woman he loves, that the woman who makes his life happy, will be lost to him forever. And so, uncon sciously. she draws him to the belief that he once had; that which the world al most killed, but which has come back to him. But all this wasn’t what I started to s&y; that was, that I wanted peo ple to make Sunday a happier day, to make it the happiest day, to till it so full of joy, that not only the children, but the father, will look forward to it with eager ness, and that each night will be joyfully hailed, because it is that much nearer to Sunday. Make your little children love the day: make them think of it as a day of pleasure. The day in which they wifi be told again, in the way they like best, the story of the little child who came to earth so many hundred years ago. It is the day when they should hear not only about the beauties and glories of heaven, but be made to see ujore than ever before how beautiful this earth is. THE STRANGER’S WELCOME DAT. It is the day when they can get closest to their father, and surety he can learn from no one else the beauty of faith, as well as he can from the little child who depends on him. Make it a day when I there is a welcome for the I stranger in your midst. Have the Sun day guest and the Sunday hospitality. I always feel sorry for those women who remember that, as children. Sunday was a dreadful day for them. To me it was the gladdest day in the week. It meant that wd were all together. It meant that the visitors came from the city, and the cousins, from two or three j or ten miles away drove over. It meant a pleasant walk to a little country church, to which the day before we had carried ! the Cowers. It meant the showing of our i favorite books, of our greatest pets, and I having the greatest anxiety to give the people who came from the city the best of the flowers and the fruit to take back to town. It meant gladness all through. Make your Sunday that, and it will then picture here a glorious day here after, when all those who Jove each other will be together. An eternity of Sundays! What does that bring to your mind, or to the mind of your little child? Make it mean so much that every effort will be made to gain it. because it will represent eternal happiness. This is sdvice that comes from the heart as well as from the Pen of Bab. A CATTLE STEAMER WRECKED. The Crew Saved and Some of the Cat tle and Sheep Swim Ashore. St. Johns, N. F.. June s.—The steamer Texas, of 3.000 tons burden, with a gen eral cargo aud & deck load of cattle, was wrecked last night off Trepassey. She was bound from Montreal for Bristol. All hands were saved.

The Latest Fancies of the Frivolous Parisienne. The Startling Whites and Reds She Revels In—Two of the Paris Summer Gowns—Duck Suits for All Purses. Fancies in Small Thing’s. (Copyright, 1894). New York, June 9.—This will be a "‘white” season, we are told. Os course it will. Can you remember any summer, for years past, that hasn’t been to some extent a while season? Perhaps the white didn’t formerly reach the ex tremities that it does now—head, hands and feet, even over the head (in the white parasol); but it is obvious why the shade commends itself to rich and poor alike on a summer’s day. The latest caprice of the gay Parisienne is white, in handsome moire. It is seen oftenest in the broad rever that falls from her tiny figure. She loves to com bine it with a flaring scarlet front. Or she will make the box-pleated bodice that is in favor in Paris of the white moire, with a tot h of the red. Box pleats, tucks and fine cordings promise to take the place of gathers and godets. Tucks form panels in skirts and pointed backs in bodices. How after row of small cord ings closely set together form the trim ming of a gown that has lately been im ported. The plain skirt is a dark, sensi ble mixed gray; and the coat of long ends at the back the same. The ends are cut away in front and a handsome red is in serted in fine twill. Across the pointed front, from neck to waist line, bands of this fine cording, which is only a number of minute folds of the material stitched so closely that they stand out like corrts, alternated with narrow insertions of black lace. / . The big puffs of the sleeves are simi larly ornamented. Plain red revers turn back and so large ard they that none of the gray is visible at the iront of the bod ice. This, with the red collar, makes a glowing effect which contrasts sharply with the neat gray line of the hack. SUMMER GOWNS. The correct summer gown will be the one which shows most ribbons, rosettes, bows. The small rosettes are put every where, peeping out from lacey folds and gathers, heading pleats and puffs ill their own dainty fashion. I dropped in on a little niiss'the other mornitig to find the floor strewn with lovely pink rosettes, a handtyl in her lap, and strips of silk tying there ready to be made up. She was industriously threading needleful of pink silk. “Yes,” she said, “1 always thread twelve at a time. Tney last a long time, and I don't need to bother stopping every minute. Every one of these rosettes is going on my latest pink gown. There will be tiuy slants of ribbons run? ning up irom the bottom of the shirt, and each is to be headed with a rosette. So you see I shall need a great many.” But remember, in making rosettes, to have them light and tiurfy. There must not be a suggestion of weight about them, or they will not suit the airy material that make the summer dresses.- Two of the daintiest, I must describe. The first is a blue—not a heavy shade, but a real China, so sheer, however, that the tint seems softer. A sort of twisted white thread, running in small points, forms a stripe in the material; and fine white dots are sprinkled between. The bodice, though a “perfect dream,” is, like all such, visions, elusive; and baffles con cise description. So let me content my self with saying that a small yoke is made of rows of the material and rows of delicate Valenciennes lace; that the bod ice proper is laid in fine folds and that over.it, starting from beneath the arm, come gathered “crushed” pieces of the material, that tie in a great bow over tfle bust. The narrow-pointed ends of the bow have deep lace flounces falling from them. The back is almost prettier. A deep Vis formed by rows of the material and the lace inser tion, and the whole finished by a spread ing bow of many loops at the w.iist line. The delicate corded stripe of the material combines with peculiar fitness with the lace striped The sleeve is a big puff that is caught down the center with a stripe of the lace; and at the elbow the fullness is drawn into an airy knot, from which falls more of the lace flouncing. The skirt trimming, too, is worthy to be noted, since it carries out the point pat tern of that material. Five rows of nar row white satin ribbon are put on in points, a little above the edge, each point finished with a small ribbon bow. ' The collar is of white satinalso. The other summer gown is a true French creation, for it dares to combine pink and green with dark blue, and still ue pretty. Let me tell you how this is done. The material—a deep cream lawn, very gauzy—is embroidered in small clus ters of pink and green flowers of a variety unknown. Lace, in deep flounces and deep cream tints, is the trimming of the gown—lace unique, in that its heading is laid every two rows of narrow satin rib bon. one pink, the other green, and that its edge reveals a row of dark blue satin ribbon, shining through the meshes. The lace, so bedecked, trims the bottom of the skirt, and is carried across the bust on the bodice. Two bands of the pink and green ribbon combination trim the yoke, softened by the cream insertion that is laid over. The belt is after this fashion, likewise. The sleeve is very pretty, with an overpuff of lace, drawn apart up the center, and with rows of the pink and green underneath. DUCK SUITS. Duck suits are the fad in this city, at least, if they are in no other city in the union. The question, “Have you been ♦ vaccinated?” is now superceded by, “Have you a duck suit?” Truly, there are suits and suits of this self-same duck. We hear, first of all, that some members of the royal family of England dress in shining, spotless, linen duck, and we feel that there is not so much distance be tween us after all, as we look down on our own shining, spotless duck Then we learn with dismay, that the ducks of the royal family cost them 175 each, and our own suit doesn’t seem to shine with its old gloss after that. But take heart, there isn’t much use in paying 175 for a wash dress, when you can get as nice a linen duck as you would desire for? 15 or &0, waistcoat and all. But it is the cotton ducks that have caused all the agitation. When it is pos siole to get skirt and jacket neatly and nicety made, for 52.80, no wonder that women gasp and ask. “Have you a duck suit?” Add two more dollars, however, and I you get a very dainty and pretty one, with a cut that no one can challenge. For 87.50 there is a suit, waistcoat, and para sol to match offered you. They all laun dry well and are made large enough to allow for shrinking. A dark blue or black I with a light stripe or dot is most economi- i cal. In the handsome dark suit, the white ones brocaded with pretty design, or the fine linen ones—handsome satin blouses are often worn in place of the stiffer shirt. ’1 hough the combination seems’ incon gruous a black satin front is by no means displeasing with a white linen suit. I Others are of ci earn guipure over white satin. AFTERNOON GOWNS. The afterternoon gowns of the picture show that there is no diminution of the use of lace. Both insertion and deep Vandyke points trim the skirt of. the one; while narrow etige trims the uni que double revers of the jacket. Beneath the jacket peeps out a ruffle of lace which is a continuation of the coquilles that form the front. The jacket is a black moire. The other shows a dainty mousseline de soie apron front falling in a deep point over the skirt and edged with dainty lace applications. The apron is gathered in at the waist by a buckle and loop of velvet and at the bust by the same ar rangement. A yoke of the mousseline is inserted. The bodice shown in the other is de signed especially for the home dress maker. Tbe embroidery or heavy lace that forms the trimming falls loosely without being confined at the waist. The long brettelles slant off into the trim mings, and are themselves edged with a narrower band of the same. A small ruffle is added at the hips. The waist is equally pretty, made up in tine woollen goods, with the trimming a heavy lace, or of any of the lighter summer goods where embroidery may effectively trim it. Eva A. Schubert. THE BULLET’S ANTIOS. Why it Sometimes Acts as if it Were an Explosive. From the Scientific American. Dr. Victor Horsley, F. R. S., in a re cent lecture at the Royal Institution, said that he intended to consider what a cyl indrical bullet with a conical end does in its flight and what it does when it strikes an animal, so that one portion of his lect ure would deal with physics and the Other portion with pathology. Sometimes the wounds made were such that in some continental wars or outbreaks the one side had charged the other with using ex plosive bullets. Melsens, a Belgian physi cist. suggested the effect to be due to the compressed air in front of the bul let, and was upheld by Laroque. of Lyons; this point was contested by Magfius of Berlin. Dr. Horsley per formed several experiments with the fall of projectiles through liquids differing in viscosity, to show’ that the theory of Melsens does not hold good. Huguier. a Frenchman of science, in 1848 suggested the hydrodynamic theory, which was established by Prof. Kocher, of Berlin, in 1874-76. He (the lecturer) had found that it was due to two causes, the amount of fluidity of the solid and to the velocity of the bullet. The lecturer projected on the screen two photographic lantern pictures repre senting the effects produced by a bullet from the magazine rifle when it per forates a plate of iron a quarter of an inch thick. AS IF THE BULLET HAD EXPLODED. Tn the first case the bullet telescopes itself w’heu it hits the plate; so makes a larger hole in its passage. Where it comes out of the same plate the hole is still larger, because it there tears open the iron, which at that surface has noth ing but the air behind it for support. When, however, a bullet is fired into a wet, soft substance tbe conditions are different. When experimenting upon this latter point he adopted a plan which had been previously in use, of tiring a bullet into damp clay, and then filling the hole made by it with plaster of Paris, to ob tain a cast of the result, which he found to vary largely with the amount of moist ure in the clay. At the lecture he fired a magazine rifle bullet into a block of clay, about two feet long by one foot square, and it made a bulbous hole of about the size and form of an irregularly-shaped Florence flask; then with a large knife ■he cut off the end of the block, revealing the hole, larger than a clenched hand, as if the bullet there had exploded. By means bf plaster casts on the. table he pointed out that when less wet clay was used the hole was smaller, and more of the shape of a soda water bottle, and with less water in the clay, still the hole was narrower, more nearly approaching an irregular tube in shape, but largest in the diameter near thed'urther end. Some times’there is a of the bullet in side the clay froth its original track, so that the casts are curved, which indi cates the reason why surgeons, when probing, \are sometimes unable to find the bullet. The greater the velocity of the bullet, tne more destructive is it to the soft substance into which it enters. The “spin” of the bullet has little effect on the result. He concluded from these re sults that the magazine rifle is not a “hu mane weapon.” THE EFFECT OF MOISTURE. The speculation that some of the de structive effects of the bullet are due to tbe conversion of some of its energy into heat he did not consider to be of much moment; the heat produced is not suffi cient to char particles of wool and hair carried in by the bullet. Microbes car ried in by a bullet after passing through the cloth can afterward be cultivated on gelatine, showing that they have not sus tained a temperature above 40 a Center grade. He next projected in the screen a pic ture that represented the effect of firing a magazine rifle bullet through each of two tin cannisters, filled with an equal weight of lint; the relative size of the bullet is also shown. In the one cannis ter the lint was dry, in the other it was thoroughly wet. In the first case the bullet simply perforated the arrange ment; in the other the canister was hope lessly damaged, and much of the lint driven out in a kind of column at the top. He then fired a bullet through dough containing 25 per cent, water, and but moderate explosive-like effect was pro duced. On next firing a bullet through flour containing twice as much water, the dough was scattered in all directions. He then showed the distribution of the energy produced by the bullet in passing through water by means of a trough ar rangement with glass sides, closed at one end with a plate of iron and at the other with good India rubber, such as “heals” itself after the passage of a bullet. This trough contained an aqueous solution of a cylored dve, up to a marked level. A sheet of white paper was suspended so that its lower edge just dipped into the dyo. The point at which the bullet per forated the India rubber was three centi meters below the surface of tho liquid. The result was shown by the staining of the paper by the splashing up of the col ored water, and shows that the attribu tion of the energy is about the same as when the bullet is fired into very wet clay.

Tutt’s Liver Pills THE GOSSIP OF GOTHAM. Financial Problem Involving Hitherto Unconsidered Possibilities. Russell Sage and Gold- A New Condi tion of Things in the Poetry Market. (Copyright.) New York, June 9.—lt is not often that the financiers of New York have to con front a problem so difficult of solution as that involved in the existence of what is known as the insurance situation. The insurance situation consists of the compe tition of several companies all more or less immense from the point of view of financial resources, but it is becoming more and more evident that some of them must succumb in the rush for business. The prospect of the dissolution of three very important corporations is giving serious concern to numerous directors. There is at this time a fund amounting to some millions, which must be invested in a very short time to enable one great concern to go out of busi ness, while another organization, housed in magnificent quarters on Broadway, is trying to arrange favorable terras with a rival for reinsurance. The final result of all this will be that a few huge corporations will, before many years, have a practical monopoly of the insurance business. The tendency to con solidation is irresistible, and the financial power wielded oby the officers of these | concerns, with hundreds of millions at their disposal, will be enormous. As it is, the heads of one or two of the mam moth companies enjoy a financial prestige which makes Croesus seem rather weak in comparison. Altogether, the insurance situation will afford one of the most curious problems ever presented in the history of New York finance, and that before long. RUSSELL SAGE’S GOLP. Russell Sage is becoming unique from the fact that he conceals with great care the nature of every financial operation in which he interests Himself. Os course, no financier takes pains to make public the precise nature of his deals, but it is noticeable that during the past year Mr. Sage has become almost a mystery, so so licitous is he that not the slightest infor mation of what he is doing in the mone tary world shall be made known. Hence it has come about that sev eral rumors, all more or less con tradictory. have been set afloat as to the extent of his recent deals. For instance, it has been surmised that he is the finan cier who has been interesting himself with the Rothschilds in an endeavor to corner the gold market and to set the tide ot gold floating toward Europe, although it is not easy to see what ob.ect he can have in doing such a thing. At all events it is denied on behalf of Mr. Sage that he is concerned in any effort to influence the gold market at all. The gold idea probably has it? origin in his fondness for the mecal in the shape of ornaments. When he makes a present of anything to anybody—and he makes such presents more frequently than one would suppose, in view of his reputation for “closeness”—it is invariably of some ob ject made of gold. The quantities of that metal which he keeps in his Fifth avenue home would make a goodly sum if coined at one of the mints. But if he is in any gold deal as reported, he is successful in suppressing evidence of the fact. A MINT IN CHICAGO. Very few people are in the secret of the attempt to transfer the mint now established in Philadelphia to Chicago. The idea originated in the brain of the late Carter Harrison, and, during the prestige attaching to his city during the world's fair, it was thought by him to be an easy thing to arouse the interest of the Prairie City’sinhabitantsin a scheme to have the nation’s chief coin factory moved bodily to the lakeside. When there came a difficulty about Phil adelphia’s mint appropriation, the few who hrd interested them selves in the project thought they could affect a rise in Chicago real estate by quietly giving it out that in a certain dis trict in Chicago the mint would surely be built, and a sale at a good round sum took place on the strength of these rep resentations. But the Philadelphians, for some reason, became alarmed, and in the Quaker City it was reported in a spasmodic way that a scheme to rob it of the mint Was afoot, although Chicago was not then deemed the responsible party. However, the enterprise fell through, thanks to the efforts of the congressman who represents Philadelphia as a half re publican and half democrat, aided by the entire Quaker City delegation. It is de clared. however, that Don Cameron was in sympathy with the efforts to remove the mint from Philadelphia, where he is not as popular as he ought to be, for some reason. In fact, it is declared that, for a republican city. Philadelphia views Cam eron from a decidedly unfriendly point of view. POETS WHO MAKE MONET. So unique is the situation regard ng the demand for poetry at present that the magazine editors of New York are abso lutely bewildered—that is, there is a pos itive underproduction of poetry. This state of things is so rarely the case that the memory of the oldest editor can find no parallel to it. It began aKjut four weeks ago, and since that time the lead ing publications have had submitted to them such a very small amount of verse that the supply has re ceived far more attention than is usually the case. Why the young men and women who usually deluge the maga zine sanctums of New York with speci mens of their prosody have suddenly be come suppressed is a thing for which no editor can find an explanation. Certain it is that the supply of poetry has become alarmingly short, and. for the first time in a decade, there have been placed orders for poetry that cannot be filled, appar ently, for some time uo come. However, there is one very adequate explantion of the new condition of things. It is that those youthful persons who would like to find expression in the form of verse have been so discouraged and have been made to believe that they are only rendering themselves the objects of ridicule that they have concluded not to send their productions to the editors. As a result, there comes into New York so little peotry that the supply has fallen short of the demand. How to remedy this is just what the editors do not ap pear to know. CROKER REDIVIVUS. The latest Tammany report runs to the effect that Richard Croker will positively resume active leadership of the organiza tion in time, at the latest, for the fall campaign. Incredible as this rumor may seem, it has been seriously considered in the more private debates and discussions among the Tiger’s sachems. The present plan is to select a well known man for leader, and when he has succeeded in demonstrating the inability of anyone but Croker to manage the affairs of the or ganization, the ex-boss is to resume bis former place with eclat. Extraordinary as this plan may seem, it would certainly prove very effective, and it would give the municipal magnate a prestige in the conduct of the coming campaign that nothing else could. Another reason for this step is alleged to be Croker’s sensitiveness to an impres sion which appears to haVe got abroad that he was in reality dropped or forced out. ihat maj r be true, but Croker is a Tammany power still.

This is the result of thdlr experience among them, it having dawned upon the bluecoats that the anarchist scare is wildly imaginative. There are numerous anarchists ih New York, and they, as a class, have very little to do with bombs. Indeed, there is a Philosophical Anarchist Club in the me tropolis, which meets weekly, and is in a very thriving condition. Supt. Byrnes himself declares that many of New York s anarchists are personally the most humane and benevolent of men. The “wild” element gives trouble, of course, but the students and professional men, who “go in for” anarchy, are imparting to the propaganda a weird respectability. Nevertheless, the anarchists have not nearly as much to do with explosives as manj' people think—at least anarchists in New York have not. David Wechsler. QUABBEL AT A DEATHBED. A Son Fights While His Father’s Life Is Ebbing Away. From the Baltimore American.

The Rev. Father Gibney, of St. Michael’s church, had just administered extreme unction. Grouped about the bedside of the dying man were his two sons, Micnael.aged-31. and Daniel, 28 years old: his daughter and her 16-year old son, and several neighbors. The solemn rite had scarcely been fin ished before Daniel began a dispute over the question of inheritance with his brother. The old man was in the last agonies, but made a feeble gesture for Daniel to stop. The younger son con tinued to talk until Michael tried to lead him from the bedside. Daniel then [ knocked. Michael down. The two strug- I gled, and finally Michael subdued his powerful brother. He.pinned him to the toor. A neighbor hurried for a police man, and as Daniel was taken from the bed chamber to jail, the old man died. In the Jefferson Market police court this morning Daniel was fined £lO.
