Repetition of Cruel Remarks
Made by a Bad Man at
a Ball.
New Yoke, Feb. 17. The last waltz
hugs of the season have been given, so
far as the very strictest of the fashion
able beaux and belles are concerned,
says Clara Belle in the Cincinnati En
quirer. Lent has shut down on the sea
ton's dancing, and embracing must
now be done quietly, on its merits, with
out music, so to speak. It was at the
filial swell ball of the Patriarchs, by the
way. that I saw two old fellows survey
ing the exposed portions of feminine
anatomy. Scrawny arms and bony necks
happened to be plenty in the immediate
scene.
"Well, what's your opinion?" asked
one.
••I'm discreetly dumb a- an oyster,"
was the reply,
'•What did you say about oysters?
Blue Points and Little Necks are plenty,
1 should say."
"With the anatomical exhibits in view,
and with a knowledge that Blue Points
and Little Necks are famous kinds of
the shell-fish, the remark threw me
into inward convulsions, for, of course,
a girl dassen't laugh visibly at such
things.
THE AMOUNT OF WEDLOCK
resultant from the ball season is enor
mous. Possibly the leap year traditions
have had something to do with the
amount <-t match-making. An enamored
and eligible fellow, but backward in his
court-hip. asked a beautiful creature to
put his name down on her engagement
card.
••For what?- -he asked, with her eyes
lighting into his.
"F-f-f-o-r a wa-wa-wa— "'. He was
trying to say waltz.
••for what did yousay?* r she repeated.
"I'm lite.'" lie blurted out.
_ That settled it. The betrothal goes.

The lowness of corsage was modest, as
such things go, and the whole toilet was
characterized by elegant simplicity.

brocaded with pale saffron flowers. The

opening at the side. was made of
saffron crape plisse. The bodice was
in the form of a fichu, a fold of white
silk - crape crossing anocher in pale
saffron, It had plaited epaulets, from
which fell short puffed sleeves. There
was a train of moderate length. Saffron
gloves reached above the elbows, and a
white feather fan was carried,

of the probabie style of the forthcoming
mode of drapery, 1 noticed a very effect
ive gown in a combination of pale eau
de nil satin with dark myrtle-green vel

can de nil. the draperies being of myr
tle-green velvet, drawn up very high at
the waist, and lined and turned over
with can de nil satin, the latter being
gathered very fully, with excellent
effect. The eau de nit satin bodice was
prettily trimmed with bretelics of dark
velvet. Another very lovely gown,
somewhat severe in style, hut exceed

bodice and train of gray velvet, the lat

The underskirt was of yellow satin,
completely covered with an exquisite
design in hand-sewed embroidery of
bright steel, bordered round the hem
with a fringe of small steel beads. The
favorite colors for ball dresses were
cream. rose, sky and Nile blue, straw,
salmon, mauve and lilac!;. Black, while
and some of the middle shades of the
just mentioned colors, including
antique-pink.and blue are very fashiona

I.i vi n.\- made us PENITENT,
and I went ycsteTday with several other
girls to see the exhibition ofMuukacsy's
famous paintinsrof "Christ on Calvary,"
at the Twenty-third Street tabernacle.
Standing midway between the door at
one end of the room and the picture at
the other. 1 found the work most realis
tic in its elfect— particularly as to the
agony depicted on the face id the dying
Christ. On turning to leave my eve
caught a large mirror fixed in the wall
just beside tho entrance, in which was
reflected the entire great work. The re
sult was almost startling, and for some
minutes 1 enjoyed an entirely new view.
While the figures seemed to be lessened
. In stature, they stood out from the cam
v > era as in life, giving to the spectators a
realism at least double that received
from a view of the picture itself. It Is
odd, but a fact, that if a person wants
to enjoy the effect rather than the de
tail of "Christ on Calvary" he will ig
nore the canvas and devote himself to
its reflection. The effect on one girl
was different. 1 don't know how wicked
she had been, but she must have done
something awful, for at the unexpected
sight of the mirrored duplicate of the
picture she fainted away. She thought
it was an apparition intended particu
larly for her guilty self. j.
The experiment id' puivrrTvsiii;; - and
displaying costly paintings, the work of
masters iv the art," as a means of draw
ing trade, seems to be growing in favor
among shopkeepers who cater to the
rich. Whether it will prove sufficiently
successful to warrant the outlay of such
large sines and
Till: ATTENDANT 1!ISK
is a question; but it is hardly probable.
As far as the practice has gone, how
ever, it has proved highly satisfactory
to those of the public who "shop," but
seldom purchase. The most violent Im
petus given to this sort of investment
was by Wanamaker, Philadelphia's
merchant prince, when he possessed
himself at a fabulous price of Mtin
kacsy's "Christ Before Pilate" and set
up the sacred work to be stared at by
every one who would buy a yard of
calico at his place instead of another's
for the privilege. A Maiden Lane firm
next came to ih i front by displaying to
patrons the famous picture of i4 A Itus
sian Wedding Feast,'' which latter was
taken up town and shown for a fee. A
well known jewelry house on Union
square now has its companion as a Rus
sian picture "Choosing the Bride" on
exhibition as a bait for its diamonds and
rubies. To be sure, houses with a
world-wide reputation need no such in
ducements to live, and the firms which
resort to it are young ami straining
every nerve to supplant the gray
beards. It is costly advertisement; but,
then, a masterly painting is like a first
water diamond— always worth its juice
in the market.
THE SEASON OF ELAIIOKATE IHXXEUS
now progresses. Lent notwithstanding,
and toilets for that purpose are not less
elaborate than for the balls of the win
ter. All the richer kinds of silk, ben
gaiine, faille, and especially peau de
sole, are much used for dinner dresses,
combined with lace or broche: moire
pekiii- and brocades are also extensively
employed, more particularly for toilets
made in the A'alois style, with pointed
bodices and full, but nearly plain, skirts
opening in front over a tablier or petti
coat of another material. .Variations on
this style are effected by making the
tablier wide, and ornamenting it with
scarf draperies, or by turning back the
skirt in revels on each side of the tab
liers, these revers being cut in different
ways, and covered with a contrasting
material. The mixture of green and
pink is to be fashionable this season,
and various shades of pink, harmoniz
ing with green, will be in great favor.
A CHEAT DEAL OF TALE YELLOW
is to be worn, especially in straw or jon
quil shades, draped with black lac;*
one toilet is straw-colored Louis XVI.
Pekiu, the alternate wide stripes being
plain, and some with tiny bouquets of
pink roses. The corsage,deini-train and
draped tablier, are of this material. over
a black lace flounce mounted on a straw
colored silk foundation skirt. A lace
coquille ornaments the skirt on one side
and the low corsage is draped with black
lace. A rather more youthful dinner
toilet for a young matron has Ja plaited
skirt of ivory, satin, striped with bands
of reptile-green ribbon, each band ter
minating at the foot with bows. A long
tunic of ivory lace is caught up on the
left side with a hunch of nasturtiums.
The long plain train is of reptile-green
moire plush. The corsage is also green,
but widely open in front over a plaited
plastron of ivory satin, a similar plait
ing following the pointed opening at the
back. Brctelles of green ribbon stripe
the plastron in front and follow the
opening at the back, and are caught no
on the shoulders with bows, larger
bows at the points of the corsage and a
very large bow on the left hip above the
dowers complete this very stylish dress.
A LOVELY toilet
for a girl is of pa'e shrimp-pink surah
and white lace. The skirt is bordered
with a deep plaiting covered by a lace
flounce. Over this, on the right side, is
a draped skirt of surah, like a very wide
panel, caught in at intervals up the
center with little groups of plaits under i
bunches of pink feather tips. A lace
flounce, forming a Hat panel, divides
this from the long puffed hack drapery;
the front and left side are covered by a
draped tunic of lace divided from the
back drapery by a lace couuille, termin
ating under a bouquet of feathers. The
corsage is of lace with the scolloped
edge taking the place of a drapery round
the pointed opening at the back, and.
opening wide in front over a pink waist
coat with double points. A surah drap
ery, starting under the lace, ornaments
the front of the corsage, and is fastened
in the center under a plume of feathers;
smaller plumes are placed lower down
at the foot of the drapery, and also on
the shoulders.
i know a sensible and hearty girl who
was fitted yesterday for a dinner dress.
The maker was inclined to squeeze her
waist into a mere bit.
"Hold on," said the girl, "my stomach
is empty. Allow torn good* meal. 1
don't want to merely look at a dinner.
I mean to eat it."
"How much shall 1 allow?" the maker
asked. "An inch and a half?"
"O, I don't know how much it ought to
measure in inches," was the reply, "but
it's got to hold, besides myself as I am
now, say six small oysters, a half-pint
of soup, a hunk of meat, a bigger bunk
of fowl, about my fist's size of ice cream,
a quart of champagn, and a fair lot <.i :
accompaniments. Sow make your esti
mate."
DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS IN SOCIETY
seem to excite in the public mind an
abnormal interest second only to that
evinced in sensational trials for murder.
The recent exposure by a Now York
paper of the system of "divorces pro
cured quickly and without publicity"
brought to light a stale of affairs which i
surprised the judges, and may yet land
more than one disreputable lawyer in
prison aim disbar not a few. But while
this illegal and sometimes criminal •
practice has been so widespread, there !
are decrees of divorce entered every
week which never reach the public and
in which the lawyers concerned are of
the first rank and all the proceedings
regular— except In one regard. There
is only one way for sensitive people
anxious to be rid of each other to escape
the ever-present reporter. The number
of divorces, by the way. which are ar
ranged by mutual consent would aston
ish any Jess rapid community. It is
done :n this way: A husband and wife
have separated, and both, perhaps, after
a time, are anxious to marry again. Cor
respondence leads to an agreement for
an amicable divorce, the husband to fig
ure as the defendant. The pair call
upon the lady's lawyer and explain. He
arranges the summons and complaint
and serves it upon the gentleman. The
latter puts in no answer, deciding to
let judgment be entered by default;
but he calls upon bis lawyer, who
agrees to have himself appointed ref
eree in the case; this is not. difficult.
The husband has already committed
whatever offense may be charged in the
complaint, with several intimate friends
as witnesses from various directions.
The case conies up, is referred, the wit

A HISTORICAL VESSEL.
An Old Sea Craft of 1835 in Use
on the Pacific.
Eighteen hundred and thirty-five.
How many people are there in Van
couver whose memory can run back to
that time when the sailor king sat
on the throne of England, and the Duke
of Wellington was a power in the land,
when railroads as vet only existed in the
brains of an enthusiast, long before
the click, click of the electric needle
had been heard; when Canada
was only known as an ."Arctic
region where the inhabitants had to
wear furs all the year round to keep
from freezing: when British Columbia
was unheard of save as a preserve of the
Hudson's Bay company, says the Van
couver. 8.C., News. "Yet* there came
into the harbor yesterday a boat whose
virgin bows were first kissed by old
Father Thames in that year as she
glided down the ways of one of
the numerous ship yards on that
river, and was christened by
the fair hands of a duchess
"The Beaver" in honor of the old com
pany whose chief source of profit lay in
that now scarce animal. The youngest
city on the Pacific yesterday greeted the
oldest steamboat on these waters. Fifty
three years have come and gone since
the staunch old craft first proudly rode
the waves. What changes has she wit
nessed—the settlement of an almost un
known country by a hardy and
enterprising people— the creation
of a mighty dominion stretch
ing from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and girdled with a slender band
of si eel— birth of a yotiiul and lusty
City springing into life where impene
trable forest grew, all these marvels
have occurred since the Beaver first
floated. The steamer Heaver, after be
ing launched and her engines, built by
Bolton & Watt (.son of the celebrated
James Watt), fitted on board, was
rigged as a brig, and under command of
Capt. Home preceded under sail round
Cape Horn and up the Pacific to As
toria, arriving after a quick passage
of 10:; days. At that place, then the
chief trading point of the 11. B.
company on the Pacific, she began her
career as a steamer proper, ami under
command of ("apt. McNeil sailed up and
down the coast, trading with the Indians
lor furs. After this she was employed
by the British government as a survey
ing ship and many of the hydrographic
charts now in use were compiled from
surveys made by the old Beaver. After
many vicissitudes she passed into the
hands of ("apt. Saunders, her present
owner, and was used for towing pur
poses but was accidentally sunk in Vic
toria harbor about a year ago.
Capt. George Merchant, the present
commander, conceived the idea of again
raising the old craft and using her for
towing logs, and carried it out. She
will in future be.regularly employed in
bringing timber to the Hastings mill.
Capt. Merchant is well and favorably
known on the coast, having first come
to tiie Pacific on 11. M. S. Zealous, the
first ironclad in these waters, in 1855.
he is a thorough seaman and a right
good fellow, and the venerable old craft
could not be in hotter hands.
Many alterations have been made in
the vessel, but these have been confined
mainly to her upper works. hen machin
ery and cabin fitting remaining pretty
much as they were when she first left
the yard. The hull is a splendid speci
men of thorough workmanship. Built
of British oak, with knees closely
joined together and ceiled inside with
heavy planking, it looks good for 100
years to come. The twin engines would
puzzle many a modern marine en
gineer; in fact, in motion they would
probably almost frighten him. Four
great walking beams down on the lower
hold, instead of being above the deck
as now, work slowly up and down,
while eccentrics, well named, move
about his head, and great levers and
connecting rods ponderously work
around him; Her certificate shows her
to have eighty-horse power, and she is
allowed to use twelve pounds of steam,
but even with that low pressure she does
splendid work. One peculiarity is that
she uses salt water, the encrustations
of which are periodically blown out
when the salinometer shows it to be
necessary. Her cabin, which is aft, is
still fitted up as it was first, and is sur
rounded by old-fashioned lockers and
bulkheads. The old bell with the word
Beaver, and the date 1835 on it,
still hangs in its old place, and
in deep and rich tones warns the
weary watch of the passing hours. The
anchor, with its heavy flukes and long
chains, is still as serviceable as when it
dropped with a splash into the deep
waters of Astoria fifty-three years ago.
Capt. Merchant expects to return
about next Wednesday, and will then
kindly allow the citizens of Vancouver
to visit this remarkable old craft and
inspect for themselves this relic of a
past age.
Fatal Snow-slide.
Portland (Or.) Special.
More full particulars of the unfortu
nate snowslide on the upper Wenat
chee have been received. A gentleman
in Walla Walla received a letter from
there a few days ago which stales that
there were some five persons in the
house when the slide occurred— Mrs.
Brisky, three children and Rev. Biggs.
Mr. Brisky was some distance from the
house chopping wood. He was called
to by two men who lived on the oppo
site side of the gulch in a shack, and
the moving mass was pointed out to
him. He ran toward their shanty in the
direction of the house and was himself
caught in the avalanche of snow and
buried to the knees, it having crossed
the gulch. Of the live persons who were
in the house, Mrs. Brisky and Rev.
Biggs were killed, and the children,
strange to say, escaped with their lives.
Mr. Brisky moved up to that place from
Klickitat county last fall. he had some
stock, and was making them a home in
the gulch. The snow was said to be
about live feet deep. The house was
demolished and some of the children,

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL.
A History of the Great Chari
table Association of
That Name.
It Was Founded in Paris in
1833 by Eight Pious
Young" Men.
Rt. Rev. Joseph Cretin Estab
lished the First Confer
ence in St. Paul.
The Government and Rule of
the Society—The Confer
ences in This City.
■N 1833, in the city of
Paris, eight young men
among whom the cele
brated O/anani, dread
ing the dangers attend
ant upon the pleasures
of the world, formed
among themselves a lit
erary society where
they discussed the ques
tions of the day J politi
cal, religious and liter
ary. Their assemblies
ife'rences." Soon, liow
ever, they aimed at a higher object, that
of sanctifying themselves ami oth
ers by works of charity which were sug
gested to them by the accidental read
ing of the life of St. Vincent de Paul.
whom they chose as their heavenly pro
tector; thus according to the beautiful
expressions of Lacordaire, placing their
charity, the most beautiful of virtues,
under the most beautiful of guardians.
Two years after the first meeting the
little band numbered fifteen members,
and two years later the members had
readied nearly one hundred. They then
divided themselves into two distinct
branches, having each their complete
organization and united together by the
bonds of fraternal affection; which from
the first has reigned among them.
Years rolled on ami witnessed its
RAPID INCREASE
not only through France, but all over
Europe. Nay. more, like the church of
Cod, it extends its branches over the
whole world, so that in 1851 it counted
already 680 conferences, and in July,
1866, the number of conferences in the
United States alone was no less than
130.
On the loth of January. 1845, and
again on the 12th oPAugust. 1850, the
Sovereign Pontiffs deigned to sanction
it by* granting numerous indulgences to
its members, and to those who helped
them in their pious works. Minnesota
is blessed with seven conferences. In
1856, tit. Rev. Joseph Cretin first bishop
of St. Paul, wishing to provide means
Of relief for the destitute of the city,
called a meeting of the gentlemen of the
congregation and proposed to them to
establish a conference in our city, His
invitation was heartily accepted by
many, but owing to the circumstances
of the times, the society in St. Paul de
creased in numbers for awhile. Much
honor is due to Mr. Williams, since de
ceased, who presided over it during its
greatest trials. In 1859, however, it re
ceived a great impulse. Under the pres
idency of William Markoe, in two
years it increased to over a hundred
members, when, in 1861. it was deemed
advisable to divide it into
two sections!
the one preserving the original name of
conference of St. Paul: the other, tak
ing the name of the conference of St.
Patrick. The latter was attached to St.
Mary's church when that church was
built. •
Tin' original signers of the articles of
incorporation of the first conference in
St.Paul were:W. B.McC.rorty.A.L. Lar
penteur, ('. W. Williams, William Mar
koe and W. .1. Brownson. The secretary
was L. P. Cotter and the date of the pa
per Nov. 15, ]ka>. Of the names men
tioned, Mr. Markoe and Mr. Lorpenteur
are the sole survivors.
The government of the society is mod
eled on the hierarchy of the church, so
as to form one body and preserve the
unity of spirit and those fraternal rela
tions so useful and so pleasant. At the
same time sufficient freedom of action
is left to each particular branch to regu
late itself according to the circum
stances of place and limes. The gen
eral council in Paris exercises its au
thority over the whole society through
out the Catholic world. It corresponds
directly with the superior councils
which are established to unite together
all the branches of
ONE STATION
or part of a nation. Of these there are
two in the United States, one in St.
Louis and the other in New York. The
conferences of Minnesota depend on the
Superior council of New York. In
cities were there are several conferences
they are united together by a Particu
lar council, and in some cases there
exists another intervening link called
the Central council, having under it
several Particular councils and corres
ponding directly with the Superior
council of the nation.
Besides these, there are other means
of preserving the fraternal relations
between the various councils. Four
times a year, on the first Sunday in
Lent, on the second Sunday after Eas
ter, on the 19th day of .Inly (the feat of
St. Vincent de Paul), and on the Bth
day of December (the feast of the Im
maculate Conception;, the various con
ferences of the same town unite in
general meetings under their Particular
.councils, and there make their respec
tive reports for the time that has
elapsed since the last of their meet
ings. These reports are sent to the
Superior council, which embodies
them in
A GENERAL REPORT
and communicates it to the general
council of Paris. The first of these gen
eral meetings was held Feb. 34, 1830.
The rule of the society is not by any
means that of an organization «labori
ously invented and imagined a priori,
but simply a statement in writing of
certain practices to which the founders
were already accustomed. These prac
tices grew out of their friendly assem
blies. There they had consulted to
gether as to the best means to carry out
their charitable intentions with prudent
zeal. The first work in which these
conferences engaged, and which is still
their principal one, is the visiting of the
poor at their homes. In these they en
tertain friendly relations with the poor
they have in charge, taking interest in
them, aiding them by their advice, and
should any of their poor die. they show
their friendship for him by accompany
ing him to his last resting place, not for
getting to offer their prayers for him
and having the holy sacrifice celebrated
for his repose. Thus they have fre
quently been happy enough to bring
back to a faithful performance of the
Christian duties, souls soured by adver
sit}, and who, for a long time, had
abandoned God.
The general rule of the society is as
follows:
First -All Christian young men,
who desire to unite in a communion of
prayer and a participation in works of
the same character, may become mem
bers of the Society of St. Vincent de
Paul, wherever they may happen to re
side.
Second— No Jwork of charity should
be regarded as foreign to the society,
although its special object is to visit
I'oon FAMILIES.
Thus the members are expected to
embrace every opportunity of affording
consolation to the sick and to prisoners,
of instructing poor, unprotected or im
prisoned children, and of procuring the
succors of religion for those who need
them at the hour of death.
Third— When several members of the
society are found in any locality, they
meet to encourage each other" in the
practice of virtue. This meeting is
called a conference, the name originally
given to the society itself.
Fourth— several conferences
be formed in the same town each takes
the name of the parish where its mem
bers meet, and the several conferences
are invited by a particular council
which takes the name of the town
itself.
Fifth— AH the conferences of the so
ciety are united by a council general.
It will be observed that no pledges
are demanded, no initiation fee re
quired, and no dues exacted. Each
gives voluntarily what he can. The
collection box is passed around, as in
church, and no member knows the
amount of his brother's contribution.
The St. Vincent de Paul society does
not confine itself exclusively to visiting
the . poor and sick and aiding them,
.though this is the chief work of the so
ciety. Any act of Christian charity;
Oily of the spiritual or temporal works
Of mercy, is within the province of the
association and will meet with its hearty
support and encouragement. The grand
Object of the society is to organize
''; ,',, CHAIMTAULE WORK,
to distribute carefully and only to the
needy and those really requiring aid,
the alms of the members and those who
make them the channel of their good
works'. Every case of distress brought
to the knowledge of the conference is
investigated, and if genuine and within
the means of the society, is relieved.
Members do not give from their own
pockets directly, but through the asso
ciation's, and in most cases tickets for

Five Million Dollars in Peanuts.
New Yoik Mail.
"Peanuts continue to hold their own,"
said a Washington street commission
merchant in answer to the inquiry of a
Mail and Express reporter. "The* trade
shows a continuous andlsteady increase,
keeping pace with the growth in popu
lation. For instance, the total con
sumption last year was about 3,100,000
bags, an increase of 400,000 hairs over
the previous year, and exceeding the
consumption of five years ago by more
than 1,000,000 bags."
"Assuming that 0,000,000 bags of pea
nuts were, consumed last year, what
docs that represent in money:'"
"Well, in round numbers it means
the consumption of 100,000,000 quarts,
and at the regular price charged by re
tailers and venders, which is 10 cents
per quart, it shows that peanut eaters
paid $10,000,000 to gratify their liking.
Probably one-half of this sum is clear
profit to the retailers, as the value of
the crop to the growers is estimated at
less than -$2,000,000.
"Where does the supply come from?"
"Almost wholly from Virginia, Ten
nessee and North Carolina. Virginia is
the banner peanut-growing state, aver
aging ,2,000,000 bushels yearly. Ten
nessee conies next with an average of
5f1p,000 bushels, and North Carolina's
production averages 150,000 bushels.
'.Che estimated supply for 1888 is 8,300,
--000 bushels, which includes the nearly
1500,000 bushels of last year's crop which
still remain in the market."

THEIR AWFUL POWER.
Some Things Pauline Learned
at the Hands of a Chris
tian Scientist.
She Had a Headache and Al
lowed a St. Paul Healer
„ to Treat Her.
She Also Heard What Dr.
Waddell Had to Say on
the Subject.
He Denounces Some Systems
±: as a Species of the
.i, Black Art. *
U.l ; ;
Pauline had a bad headache last Tues
day, and she made up what little mind
jumping neuralgia had left her that she
would go, "take a treatment," which is
the technical expression of putting
one's self under the Influence of Chris
tian scientists. A pleasant-faced woman
opened the door at which she rang, ush
ered her into a dimly-lighted room, gave
her an uncommonly comfortable chair,
and took a seat close beside her.
''You have a headache, you say," in
quired the healer. Pauline thought she
had. '-Do you worry?'' was next naked.
Pauline allowed that she did. "Well,
don't do it."
"No, ma'am," meekly responded
Pauline in the long unused submissive
tones of a convent girl.
"Lean your head back and rest,"
gently commanded the healer, and the
patient did as she was told.
"Close your eyes," was supplemented.
Pauline closed one eye and squinted
through the other to see what the healer
was doing. She was sitting back in her
chair, with her hand to her eyes, in an
attitude of prayer. She did riot move,
and after a minute or two Pauline's one
eye grew lonesome, being the only act
ive member of the party, so she closed
it softly and— wanted to snicker. Ly
ing back as she was in the chair, she
could not quite make up her mind
which she felt the most like— getting
shaved or having a tooth pulled. Pretty
soon it began to seem foolish, sitting
there side by side and saying not a
word. Pauline waxed hysterical. She
had to swallow, and the atmosphere
was so holy she had her doubts whether
swallowing was proper. But it had to
be done, and oh, how the silent room
echoed with the creaking of the
muscles of • her throat! She
unlocked one eye again to peep at the
heftier to see if she seemed at all mad
because of the interruption. But not
one whit had she changed her position.
There she sat— immovable as the Spynx
and ten times better looking. Pauline
shut up the eye once more, and had half
a notion to bolt. She began to feel
funny. She began to feel strangely
restful. Some subtile influence was at
work upon her; her levitious spirit
calmed into something more like solem
nity. She did not stir, because she no
longer had any desire to. For twenty
or thirty minutes she rested— actually
physically, mentally. spiritually.
No wonder she was scared. for in reality
we poor hurried mortals
AUK STRANGERS TO REST.
Now and then, for a time, we may be
inactive. But the inward struggle keeps
up under the outward quiet just the
same. At length the healer stirred, and
so did Pauline. One knows how she
felt, and the other looked as a person
does when aroused from a sound sleep.
"How is your head now?" asked the
healer.
"I declare I had forgotten all about
it," exclaimed Pauline, half ashamed of
herself to think she had been guilty of
any such inattention.
"That's : right," replied the healer,
laughing, "and do not try to remember
it again." Pauline's hand was fumbling
among the folds of her dress to find her
purse. When she brought it up from
the depths of her hidden pocket and
propounded the customary conundrum
customary whether it be bodies that are
soothed or souls that are saved— "How
much do 1 owe you." the healer refused
to take a cent.
"Youl'llbe sorry for this when you're
sober," flashed through Pauline's mind,
but she didn't say it. Instead she
gasped: "Well, you are the first Chris
tian scientist! 1 ever knew who failed to
extend life eternal with the left hand
and hold out the right for the almighty
dollar."
"Properly speaking, Ido not practice
Christian science."' said the healer.
"What is it, then, that you do
practice?"
"Pneuinatopathy."
"Pneu— er— Please spell it."
"P-n-e-u-m-a-t-o-p-a-t-h-y, or the
science of mental and bodily health
through spiritual law."
"What is the difference between your
science and Christian science?"
"I wish you would come up here this
evening and let Dr. Waddell answer
that question. He is so much better
able to make it clear to you than I am."
After learning that Dr. 11. J. Waddell
is an ex-pupil of Mrs. Eddy— the pope
in petticoats of Christian science— who
has departed from the teachings of his
instructress, and has evolved a theory
of his own, which corrects all the pal
pable inconsistencies of Mrs. Eddy's
doctrine, Pauline took her departure,
promising to see the doctor in the
morning.
Dr. H. J. Waddell is a man whom a
person would turn to
LOOK AT A SECOND TIME
in passing him on the street. Sneer, ye
unbelievers, but upon my soul there is
something supernatural about his face.
It is so purely spiritual that one gets a
notion of transparency from it. His
eyes are wonderful— bright, clear, fas
cinating, holding one's gaze as a serpent
might. But the person thus spell-bound
is exhilarated, raised up in the spirit
Never in Pauline's life did she feel so
much like giving expression to a shout
ing-Methodist's "(dory!" as she did
when Dr. Waddell took her by the
hand and brought the marvelous powers
he commands to bear upon her. And the
effect his mere presence produces is in
tensely heightened by the subject and
substance of. his conversation. Mrs.
Eddy's science, as everybody knows,
denies the existence of evil. The ma
terial world is wholly illusive; you and
I are mere non-substantial ideas—be
liefs—created by the universal princi
ple, the immortal mind that alone really
exists and which "keeps up a terrible
thinking" from eternity to eternity. Of
course, according lo this, all the ills the
human flesh is heir to are beliefs which
must not be flattered by ascribing real
ity to them in way. When a man
has boils, in Christian science parlance
he has "a belief of boils." which only
needs to be resolutely denied to cease to
be. A boy does not have mumps, he has
"a belief of mumps." Likewise, when a
cat has kittens, she has, exactly speak
ing; a belief of kittens. The analogy is
clear, and anybody can understand from
this how we are all beliefs. It used to
be the terror of Pauline's life when she
was among Christian scientists, that
some healer would go to work and
"treat her" right oil' the face of the
earth. She could not comprehend why
if by denying one belief— like weasles
—it obligingly disappeared, there is
any reason she should not follow suit
and vanish into nothingness whenever
any spiteful healer took it into her head
to declare she was a lie. Dr. Waddell's
theory, however, ascribes reality to all
things. Though he regards the mater
ial world as phenomena of spirit, he
does not deny the actual existence of
these phenomena. He even goes so far
in this direction that he speaks of
DEVILS AND ANGELS
with the same concern for their sub
stantial being that any of us might dis
play talking of bad Mr. Jones, or good
Mr. Brown. Mrs. Eddy instructs her
pupils to ignore the powers of clairvoy
ance, mesmerism, theosophy. animal
magnetism, while Dr. Waddell teaches
that these are horrible realities to be
met, struggled with and to conquer, or
be conquered by them. Mrs. Eddy's
whole system of healing, he declares is
mesmerism— is black art; and Mrs.
Eddy, he is ready to prove,
is absolutely the wont woman
in the world. The women who
imitate her example are cither, in the
words of scripture, "silly women laden
with their sins," or are deliberately
wicked ones, who come short of Mrs.
Eddy's vicious excellence simply be
cause they are more ignorant of the
powers of darkness than she. The
'lunkett-llopins scientists— which
school those in St. Paul mostly belong.
differ from the Eddy scientists. Dr.
Waddell says, only in this— one is a lit
tle meaner than the other. The Eddys
are smarter, therefore the worse, and
the deadly enmity between the two is
because the Plunkett-llopins are beside
themselves with rage to think they can
not be as mean as anybody. All these
people are allied with devils and operate
both directly and indirectly to work the
ruin of unsuspecting mortals. Dr.
Waddell declares he could reveal results
of their efforts both in St. Paul
and Minneapolis which would
make every man's hair stand on
end like the quills of the disturbed por
cupine. The evils of whisky-drinking
and opium-eating are nothing to those
wrought by unscrupulous wielders of
occult forces. "Mrs. Eddy and her
band," said he, "sit sending out their
hellish influences, which produce first
cxhiliration, then depression, then
nausea, disease— Woe to him
who tries to oppose them! 1 know what
it is. I know what it is— and so do
others. 1 have seen blood forced from
the bodies of persons who defied their
authority. 1 have testimony piled that
measuring about two feet—
"showing that Mrs. Eddy delib
erately schemes— for the down
fall of those who place them
selves within her reach. tier
one desire is to* make money, and she
accomplishes this, too. The year 1 was
at her school she cleared $12,000. She
has recently built herself an 111,000
house, and all her disciples are led to
any extreme by the same greed foi gain.
When the time is ripe I shall expose a
noted scientist of this city as a fraud— a
woman who obtains money under false
pretenses; a woman who, like her as
sociate practitioners, does not hesitate
to produce criminal effects on other
women ; a woman who stops at nothing
in witchcraft, and who is infesting St.
Paul with devils incarnate, at so much
per head, for her own enrichment.
Prominent society women have fallen a
victim to her machinations. Some un
consciously, others voluntarily — ea
gerly."
Pauline recalled one woman who lives
on St. Anthony hill and is a daily visitor
to a certain scientist. She leaves her
carriage
DOWN ox THIRD street
and then, as the boys would say,
"makes a sneak" up to science head
quarters. Just wait; Pauline will sniff
mighty hard the next time she meets
her and will tell you if she smells any
thing like brimstone.
Dr. Waddell distinguishes between
material magnetism and mind magnet
ism. The former makes drunk; the lat
ter clears the - understanding, elevates,
deifies. Mind magnetism is what Jesus
Christ practiced, and according to Dr.
Waddell, it is what ministers of the gos
pel must study and comprehend' in
order to save the church from utter an
nihilation and the world from surrender
to the devil, It is the doctor's intention
soon to hold meetings in St. Paul for a
month, and, with the help of the clergy,
if they will, without it, if they will not,
engage in open warfare-with the powers
of darkness that have assumed such con
trol of us. Pauline has obtained the
names of a number of society women
who are skilled in block art, and who
practice it, some wittingly and some un
wittingly. Oh, you miserable imps in
sealskin and diamonds! don't belch
forth fire now and stir up your seething
cauldron, for my everlasting boiling
down. I'm not going to tell on you— that
is. 1 don't think I shall. Women can
keep secrets— sometimes— that is, I
guess they can. Pauline Pj:v.
Rats Pitted Against a Ferret.
Los Angeles Tribune.
Not more than a dozen sports were
given the. tip that a rat-killing match
was to take place yesterday afternoon,
not 100 yards from the postoflice. A
Tribune reporter got wind of the affair
and succeeded, after much perseverance,
in becoming a spectator.
Promptly at the hour set a case of rats
was forthcoming. A little later two
youthful sports appeared on the scene
with another big cage, which contained
a young ferret. It was now evident that
the promoters intended to have a ferret
versus rat contest. A big rat was next
placed in the cane with the ferret, and
the fun began. It is perhaps unneces
sary to say that ferrets cannot see in the
daytime, but their smelling instinct is
very keen and well developed. The rat
managed to keep out of the way of the
ferret for fully thirty seconds, but at
last the ferret got hold of Mr. Pat, and a
short but lively light took place, until
the ferret got hold of the rat by the neck,
and the uneven contest was soon ended.
The operation was continued until four
teen rats had been placed hois de com
bat, and the time occupied by the fer
ret in annihilating them was exactly five
minutes. At one" time there was some
tough fighting, as two rats happened to
get in the cage at the same time, and
they made things extremely hot for the
ferret for a while, but one finally suc
cumbed, and it did not take long'to de
molish the remaining one.
A Circus Man Before a King.
St. James Gazette.
It is not often that circus "artistes"
find their way into the realms of a South
African native chief; but when they do
it would seem that their reception is
likely to be very enthusiastic. A
"strong man" from a Cape Town circus
recently journeyed to the far-off regions
of Ama-Swaziland, and there gave a dis
play of his skill and power before the
Chief Umbandini at his "great place."
So pleased wa3Umbandi with the perfor
mance that he forthwith dictated a tes
timonial gratis. Here it is : "We gladly
certify that you have performed at our
Royal Kraal, Swaziland, on rings, poles,
chairs, and sticks; that you have also
played with an iron lice, and also car
ried a large cannon on your back, and

We were astonished and gratified at the

TO CARE FOR THE SICK
St. Paul to Have a City Hos
pital Adequate to All
Its Wants.
Plans Prepared and Ready to
Be Submitted to the City
Council.
The Building to Be Made Ac
cording- to the Most Mod
ern Ideas.
Incease of Hospital Work
Since the Present Build
ing" Was Erected.
St. Paul is to have something in the
near future which she is very badly in
need of, and that is a new city and
county hospital. During the past few
years this city has had a remarkable
growth and the old building which, at
first, was fully large enough to accom
modate the patients sent there, is now
crowded so that it is uncomfortable and
inadequate to meet the demands made
upon it. During the first years of Dr.
Ancker's administration as city and
county physician, the hospital cared for
but 300 patients: last year the number
accommodated was 900. From 20 pa
tients a day the number has increased
to 60 and sometimes as many as 80 are
cared for. Dr. Ancker reports that
during the past winter from 15 to IS
people, mostly women, were obliged to
sleep on the floor, all the beds in the
wards being occupied. The necessity
for larger quarters is therefore apparent.
The last legislature authorized an ap
propriation of ?50,000 for the erection
of a new city and' county hospital,
and appointed a commission with full
power to act in the building of It. The
following gentlemen comprise the com
mission: Col. C. D. Kerr, K. P. Cullen
and Dr. Ancker. The plans and speci
fications of the new hospital have been
drawn up by the architects, Wilcox &
Johnson, and would have been
submitted to the council
last Tuesday evening had there been a
meeting. The bonds-have already been
issued, and bids will be advertised for
the erection of the new structure in a
short time. The hosuital, when com
plete, will have a frontage of 400 feet
and a depth of eighty feet. The general
design of the building is based on the
plan of the John Hopkins hospital at
Baltimore, which is considered the
finest institution of the kind in the
world. The hospital, which will be
rectangular in form, is composed of five
different buildings, an administration
building in the center, with two ward
buildings on each side. A large
hall runs through the whole
series of buildings, In the rear
of the hospital will be a brick
structure containing the kitchen,
laundry and heating apparatus. The
commission propose, at this time, to
erect only the administration building.
The other structures (the ward build
ings) will be built when the necessity
exists for so doing. The administration
building is to be a liaiidsome.substantial,
two-story structure of Chaska brick,
with light stone trimmings, the whoie
surmounted by a tower. The following
information is gleaned from an exam
ination of the plans: The basement is
provided with four rooms, called strong
rooms, for the detention of violent and
insane patients, also reception, bath
and accident rooms.
THE FIRST FLOOR
contains the offices, the matron's rooms,
library, museum, drug, apothecary and
physician's rooms. The 'second floor
contains the superintendent's room,
resident physician's and nurse's private
dining rooms and an operating room,
with etherizing and recovering rooms
attached. A skylight furnishes
light for the operating room.
The third floor, or attic, serves
the purpose of a ward and will accomo
date about thirty patients. The main
or administration building will join the
present hospital which will not be torn
down until it becomes necessary to
build the last two wards. The main
building will be flanked by the ward
buildings, four in number' each 25x70
feet. It is thought the hospital (live
buildings) will not be completed before
three years. The advantage this hos
pital will possess when finished is that
additions can be made without inter
fering with the general plan of the
building or marring its architectural
beauty. The commission has visited
many of the principal hospitals of the
country, and in the construction of the
city hospital is applying the knowledge
gained and profiting by the experience
of others. Dr. Ancker says that he has
no hesitation in saying that when the
new buildings are finished. St. Paul
will have as complete a municipal hos
pital as there is in the United States.
