said regarding the charges against him:
“This is a damnable plot to ruin me, but it
will fail. I am innocent of any crime.”

At 7 :30 o’clock in the morning Miss
Drexel, in the presence of a number of the
church dignitaries, made her solemn pro-
fession of religion by taking the irrevoca-
ble vows of poverty, chastity and obedi-
ence, and donning the black veil of the
Sisters of Mercy. She is now known as
Sister Katharine.

The Ceremony.

The ceremony took place in the beauti-

Very few persons were in attendance‘at
the ceremony. Of her own family only
her own brother-in—law, W. H. Smith, of
Philadelphia, was present. The announce-
ment that the profession of Sister Katha-

banquet was incorrect. The only refresh— :

NATURAL GAS EXPLOSION.

LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 13.—A natural
gas explosion occurred at the corner of
Salisbury and Columbia streets, in \Vest
Lafayette, at 4. o’clock Thursday morning.
At that hour James J enners arose to see
what time it was, and striking a match a
terrific explosion followed, and a second
one completely wrecked the building and
severely if not fatally injured its occu-
pants. It was alarge double house, and
both sides were completely demolished.
The debris caught fire, and a large dwell-
ing adjoining was also consumed. The in-

an interview at Albany, emphatically de—
nied that he had received a letter which j

has been going the rounds of the press l

from Henry “'atterson to the effect that
he (Hill) must yield to ex-President Cleve-
land the presidential nomination in 1892
or lose the support of his party through-
out the Union. Governor Hill also said

that he was fully satisfied that the letter 5

was a base forgery.

A reporter called on ex—President Cleve—
land in reference to the W'atterson letter.
Mr. Cleveland refused to say anything
about the letter, and handed the clipping
back without comment. In answer to a
question about the meeting of the gov-
ernor and himself at a dinner recent-1y,
Mr. Cleveland said the meeting was looked
upon as something extraordinary.

“Governor Hill and I.” said Mr. Cleve—
land quite seriously, “have, ever since I
left the gubernatorial chair, been on the
very best of terms. Every time I have
been to Albany or passed through it I
have called on Governor Hill. Why should
we not be on cordial terms? The evening
of the dinner Governor Hill was visiting
an armory in this city and he came. We

. had no private conversation. All that hap-

pened was stated in the newspapers.”

The reporter remarked that, notwith—
standing the recent Democratic cyclone in
the country, the Democratic party would
have a good deal to do to beat the Repub—
lican party.

“It will be no child’s play,” said the ex-
president very quietly.

Decidedly Dad for the World’s Fair.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13,—Rumors are thick
here of dissension and conflict between the
local directors and the national commis-
sioners of the VVorld’s fair, (pupled with
threats of the national commissioners’ res-
ignations. It is also mooted that the en~
terprisc is in abad way financially, and
that unless congress comes to its relief
with an appropriation of $5,000,000 the
grand scheme that was to surprise the
world will end in a miserable fizzle.

Arbitration Useless.

LYNN, Mass, Feb. 13.—The sub-commits
tee of the board of trade appointed at the
request of the mayor to investigate and as-
certain if it were possible to bring the
locked out morocco dressers and the man-
ufacturers together to arrange for some
satisfactory settlement of the trouble re—
ported that the committee has seen both
sides in the controversy and finds it im-
possible to do anything.

Hoist with His Own Petard.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 13.——Allan M. Mur-
phy, 00 years, of Barga, Mich, lost $400 in
this city by the “green goods” game, and
when he made complaint to detectives he
was locked up under a recent act of con-
gress which makes the negotiator in [the
game equally guilty. The men who played
the game got safely away.

 

Fire in a Catholic Protectory. -

BUFFALO, N. Y., Feb. 13,—Fire started in
St. J ohn’s protectory (Catholic) \Vednes-
day, and did nearly $2,000 worth of dam-
age. The 200 inmates were very orderly,
and gave much assistance in extinguishing
the flames. The school room was burned
out, but the chapel, said to be the finest in
the state, was not damaged. '

Pierce Takes the Oath. _

ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 13,—At 11 o’clock
Thursday morning ex—Senator James F.
Pierce appeared in the office of the secre-
tary of state and took the oath of office as
the superintendent of insurance. Deputy
Secretary Benedict administered the oath.
Mr. Pierce will take possession of the oflico
on Monday.

Another Colliery Disaster.
SII-\.\IOKIN, Pa, Feb. 13.—Edward Ruck

plosion of gas in Nelson colliery.

 

BRIEF DIENTION.

At the conference between Indian Com«
missioner Morgan and the Sioux delega-
tion in “Taishington, Turning Hawk, an
intelligent Indian, gave the alleged details
of the fight at Wounded Knee Creek, and
was corroborated by the other chiefs in his

i claim that the Seventh cavalry shot down

 

the Indian men, women and children with-
out reason.

It is learned on the highest authority
that the published statements to the effect
that there is ready for announcement a
proclamation by the president of reciproc‘
ity with Venezuela similar in terms with
the agreement recently made with Brazil,
and that such an agreement has been con-
cluded, are incorrect.

The official statistics of loss of life and
limb in the third Pennsylvania anthracite
coal mining district for the year 1890 show
that this was the most disastrous year in the
history of the region. One hundred men
were killed, fifty-five of whom left widows,
with a total of seventy-six orphans.

\Villiam Youngblood, member of the
Republican national executive committee
for Alabama, is authority for the state‘
m Int that immediately after the adjourn-
ment of congress, President Harrison,
Postmaster General Wanamaker and other
members of the cabinet will make a tour
of the southern states. .

The four masted iron oil vessel Bruce,
while being towed from the Tidewater
docks in J erscy City by the towboats Mor-
ris and Egsberg, turned suddenly and
sunk. She carried the towboats down
with her. The crews of the three vessels
were rescued in rowboats.

Secretary Blaine has positively denied
the truth of the statement telegraphed
from Canada to the effect that he had
written a letter to Hon. Wilfred Laurier
saying that he would negotiate for reci-
procity only with the Liberal party, of
which Laurier is the leader.

The house of commons has passed, by a
vote of 202 to 155, the bill permitting aman
to marry the sister of his deceased wife.
The bill has been passed several times be-
forein the commons, and defeated through
the ecclesiastical opposition in the upper
house. . .

Before the house’s silver pool investigat-
ing committee, Congressman Dorsey, of
Nebraska, denounced Owenby as a liar for
saying that a Nebraska congressman had
offered him $2,500 to forget all he knew.

Ex—President Cleveland says he believes
that the greatest perils would be initiated
by the adoption of the scheme embraced in
the measure now pending in congress for
an unlimited coinage of silver.

The grand jury of Crawford county, Pa.,
found a true bill against the members of
the late banking firm of Delamater & Co.,
Meadville, on the charges preferred by the
ex-county commissioners.

Mrs. Sarah Elmer, of‘Columbia, Pa., was
burned to death by her clothing catching
fire from a stove. Her daughter was also
badly burned in trying to extinguish the
flames. '

\Valter Eaton, of Lascelles, eloped from y

THE DAY OF ST. VALENTINE.

 

It Still Is Honored in the Good Old
Fashion.

Two hundred years ago Valentine’s Day,
just as the first pale gray of dawn faltered
into the sky of Merrie England, young
Ethelred Fitz—Albert de ‘Vilkins came

with half hastening, half reluctant tread _

through the wet grass, headless of possible
bronchitis and pneumonia, under the lat-
tice of Lesbia Daffodil.

That discreet young person’s eyelids
were still heavy with sleep, and there were
no draughts in her bower, which is more
than could be said of the grass plot be-
neath her window where stood the lan-
guishing Ethelred, his Romeo slippers rap-
idly soaking up the blithe British dew;
while his breast swelled with a gentle mad-
ness and his voice grew hoarse even as he
caroled forth the first notes of love with
face upturned toward the closed case-
ment. ,

llc carried a lute of archaic pattern,
which he struck with feverish fingers as
he made his amorous plaint. As nearly as
can be gleaned from cOntemporaneous his-
tory he remarked:

Fayre Lesbia curtain‘d lyes—
(Iieigho! ye blind, be drawn!)
She minds me not—her eyes
Regard but canopies,
And I doe waste my sighs
Upon ye down!

Now, Mistress Lesbia had gone to bed
betimes the night before and had slept
well; so it happened that she was in good
form to woken easily. Ethelred’s song
came whifiing up stairs and fell upon her
drowsy ear. ,(This phenomenon of the
drowsy car was not unusual in England
among lovers in the Seventeenth century.)
She moved gentl ' among her draperies—
fluttered a. moment between sleep and
waking—and then raised herself upon her
dimpled elbow and whispered: “I believe
that Master Ethelred is below. Good
sooth, it is St. Valentine his day, and he
sings to me of his love! Would he had
store of silver and lands like Strephon, for
these be good things to go to housekeeping
with.”

And with that she hopped like a little
bird over to the window and peeped out
with one eye. Ethelred was leaning against
a. tree, plunking softly upon his lyre, and
as she gazed he sang again:

Sir Strephon blithely sings
(Heigbo! ye curtayne shakes!)
To sound of siver strings.

Lesbia’s hand fell from the curtain. Her
blue eyes flashed. “Well, suppose he
does!” she cried indignantly to herself.
“What’s that to you, Master Ethelred! He
is none the worse for that, I hope; but he
is a proper man, and I do fear me you have
too much of check in that you would have
me prefer you. a mere landless younger
son, and your love songs, to a ’squire with
good store of this world its goods.” With
which remarks she went back to bed and
t0 sleep,while Ethelred staid a while longer,
and then went home and put his feet in
mustard water and wrapped his throat
with flannel, and pondered upon the ways
of women. ,.

Miss Millicent Van Beekman lay languid
in her boudoir on Valentine’s Day when her
maid brought two great bouquets of nod—
ding roses and laid them upon a table at
the side of her couch.

Miss Van Beekman turned her eyes to-
ward the card which was tied to the first
bouquet, but as she did so her shoulders
contracted in a little shiver and she cried:

“Celeste, it is cold; see that the window is .

covered better. And bring me my choco-
late.”

Celeste drew the curtains closer, played
for a moment at the toy fireplace with the
toy tongs, and then retreated in quest of
the chocolate.

When she had gone Miss Van Beekman
looked at the second bouquet a moment,
laid her face among the flowers and said
to herself, “What a pity that he should do
it—for it’s no sort of use, poor boy, and it
means so many bad lunches for him!”
And then she tore up the card which she
had held in her hand as she had been
speaking, and tossed the scraps into the
grate.

By that time Celeste had reappeared,
and her mistress bade her take the flowers
away, because they made the room too
heavy with their odor.

And when they were gone she drank her
chocolate with an expression of great se-
renity, and consulted with Celeste as to
the time of day, and as to the state of the
weather, and was unusually amiable while
her hand maiden did her hair.

He smoked from early morn till night,
For smoking was his chief delight.

The girl he. loved was in despair;

He smoked right on—he didn‘t care.

And yet the maiden loved him so
Somehow she couldn‘t let him go.

He puffed right. on, through thick and thin,
Until St. Valentine‘s came in,

And then she hit upon a plan

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To bring to terms this selfish man.
Two boxes of cigars she got
And sent them to him on the spot.

‘ She picked them out herself, and said:
“This will heap coals upon his head.
Perhaps this course will make him see

And with this modest, meek design
She sent them as her valentine.

Somehow he’s never cared to smoke.

The bIelody of Love.

Months! years have flown on joyous wings since
when

Our hearts first sang the melody of love,

And still the strain, all other themesabove,

Unites our soul in bonds beyond all ken,

For love is mightier than the sword or pen:

As brave as lion, gentle as the dove,

It bids the restless spiritceaseto rove,

Yet dares and does the task that foils most men.

True love can never die; it is divine; '

If earth and sky be not. it matters not,

For love will surely find some other spot.

And like the stars above still brightly shine.

In storm or sunshine, palace-or in'cot,

Wherever your true heart is also mine.

 

0ft have I heard both youths and virgins say.
Birds choose their mates audcouploto this day;
But by their flight I can never divine
When I shall couple with my Valentine.

“PLEASE GIVE ME A VALENTINE."

‘ ber.
'Of the company, also expects to go.

A- Grand Excursion.

The Georgia-Alabama Investment &
Development Company has inaugu-
rated, and will conduct under its own
management and auspices, a ten days
excursion to Washington, D. C., Talla-
poosa, Ga., and Birmingham, Ala.
The train will leave Boston on the
evening of Tuesday, February 17, and
New York Wednesday morning. It
will be‘ a special Pulhnan vestibule
train, consisting Of four sleeper
coaches, one dining car, one parlor
smoking car, with barber shop, bath
rooms, library, etc., and run over the
New York & New England, Pennsylva-
nia, and Piedmont Air Line roads.
This is the quickest, safest and most in-
teresting route for the tourist. The
trip will last ten days and all expenses
will be settled by the company and cov-
ered by $75 from Boston and $70 from
New York. The company has been led
to offer this rare excursion because of
receiving so many applications from
people who desire to visit and inspect
its properties, as an investment.

The route will be by the N. Y. (\I'} N.
E., Pennsylvania and Piedmont Air
Line railroads, through the picturesque
Piedmont region of the South, in sight
of the great battlefields and by way of
the national capitol.

Ample opportunity will-be afforded
in Washington for the excursionists to
inspect the city, visit Congress, etc.,
and for sight seeing in Atlanta, Bir—
mingham, and Anniston.

The train will be an exact counter-
part of the New York and Chicago
“Limited,” run' on the Pennsylvania
and New York Central railroads, and
will be in charge of representatives of
each of the three lines of roads over
which the train will pass.

The number of excursionists will be
limited to one hundred, and applica-
tions for sleeper accommodations will
be booked in the order received. The
special train will be the finest equipped
and most magnificent that can be pro-
cured in America, and it is intended to
make the excursion one select in every
particular, and no expense will be
spared to make the. trip a delightful
one to all who shall accompany it.

The rate for this excursion has been
made at $75 per passenger, which in-
cludes railroad fare, sleeping ‘car, car-
riage drives, meals, and every expense
for the entire trip. Tickets will be is-
sued to the excursionists on leaving
Boston. with proper coupons entitling
them to all expense during the ten
days.

The rate from New York city will be
$5 less than from Boston, or $70, and
passengers can join excursion at any
of the points named in the itinerary.

Those who desire to accompany this
excursion should write or call at the
Boston office of this company at oncc,
where diagrams are on file and sleep—
ing accommodations can be secured.

As the number that can be accommo-
dated on this trip is confined to one
hundred, a deposit of $15 will be re-
quired at the time of the application
and the assignment of berths. The
balance payable at the time of leaving
Boston or New York when tickets with
coupons attached, covering the entire
expense of the trip, will be delivered to
each of the excursionists.

Ladies are especially invited, and a
considerable number have already sig-
nified their intention of going.

Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, president
of the company, will accompany the
excursion, it being his first visit south
of Richmond since the war, and many
of the other officers and directors of
the company will be among the num-
HOD. James W. Hyatt, Treasurer

It is intended to make the excursion
a select and delightful one in every
particular, and no pains or expense will
be spared by the company to make it a
trip long to be remembered by those
Who accompany it, and it will afford the
best opportunity of the year for seeing
the growth of the new South, in a way
that will not be fatiguing, but a con-
tinual round of pleasant surprises from
time of leaving until the return, com-
pleting a trip of nearly 4,000 miles
through the heart of the New South in
a palatial train, at an expenSe of $7 per
day, per passenger.

Applications for sleeping accommo-
dations should be made, enclosing $15,
as soon as possible to the Boston office
of the company, as the number will
probably be filled in a very short time.
and under the terms by which the spec-
ial limited train is chartered, the num-
ber must be confined strictly to one
hundred.
