pointed out that he did this to prcmote
the dignity and honor and increase the
influence and usefulness of such socie-

Archbishop Corrigan has indorsed the
sentiments of the Papal Delegate, both
in spirit and letter, and now it would
seem that the time has come for him to
act, if he wishes, with Mgr. Satolli, to
remove the reproach that has attached
to some Catholics on account of the
manner in which the liquor business is
carried on.
The Catholic Knights of New York

jurisdiction, decided last night that the
selling of liquor at their coming excur-

selves and for their own profit.

TWEEKLYFNOEWALES
BUB THE FATHERLY TOMCAT.
Kittens, a, Young, Skunk, and Two Gray
Squirrels He Successively Adopted.
This story is from Scraiit‘on, Pa. It re
lates how Bub adopted .;hi1s,:',‘younger
brother and sister cats: .‘5,‘,' .
' Within a week after theygwere born,
the young tomcat became fiéfiiiuch attach-
ed to the little ones that he wouldn’t
leave the nest for more, than five 'or ten
minutes at a time, never going away ex-
cept when the old cat was with them.
\Vhen the kittens were eight days old,
just before their eyes had begun to open,
it was decided to put them out of the way
with chloroform. The old cat wvasab—
sent when everything was ready, but Bub
was snuggled up with the kittens, fuss-
ing away and working his paws as though
the family belonged to him. Mrs. Bellew
' tried to coax Bub to get out of ' the box
and go away, but he refused to budge un-
til she got a dead mouse from the trap
and held it over him, when he sprang out
and chased her into the kitchen.
Mrs. Bellow shut him in, and while he
was amusing himself with the mouse she
placed the kittens in a tin basin lined
with cotton, saturated the cotton with
chloroform, and quickly covered the basin
with the lid of a stone crock. I11 a few
minutes the kittens were, dead, and Mrs.
Bellew put them into a cigar box and
buried them in a corner of the garden.
M yra, who had been deprived of a dozen
litters of kittens before, made no fuss
Whatever when she retured to the empty
box. As soon as she had found that the
kittens were gone she lay down on the
doorstep and went to sleep. But Bub act-
ed in an entirely different way when he
hopped into the box and discovered that
the kittens had been removed. He called
to the IC'=1‘.Iit§-Ii'm.cs tor several minutes,
'Mi's. RI ”5:? eiiiiig after each call
asthougn 3.x- - , to hear their faint
answer from svmv 1. are". of the woodshed.
On :iscei-tnini of; that the kittens were not
in hearing,r of his voice, Bub leaped from
the box, mowed iiiournfully, and began to
search around the piles of wood and some
barrels. Every little whilc’lie would stop
his noise and listen for a moment, and
then he would go to crying again as
though he were almost broken hearted.
After he had searched and called for a
long time the sorrowful young tomcat
spied his mother sleeping in the sun, and
trotting to her, he begged most piteously
for her to help him hunt up the missing
kittens. The wise old cat knew from
long experience that it would be a waste
of time to search for her kittens, so, after
Bub had bothered her for two or three
minutes, she gave him a cuff and went to
sleep again.
Bub hunted all day for the kittens, go
ing from the cellar to the ga'rret and from
the woodshed to the corn crib in his vain
search. His calls were so ,pitiful, Mrs.
Bellew said, that she' felt [grieved over
having made way withvthe‘kittens. The
next morning Bub resumed his mournful
calls about the house, making such a
racket that Mr. Bellew threatened to
knock him in the head.
Soon after breakfast, Mrs. Bellew missed
the young cat, and toward noon she saw
him coming down the read from the di-
rection of an old hay barn with something
in his mouth. Bub trotted into the wood-
shed holding his head very high, jumped
into the kitten box, and began to call to
the old cat. Mrs. Bellew ran to the box
to see what Bub had got, and to her in-
tense surprise she found that he had cap<
tured a tiny young“ skunk kitten not
more than five or six days old, and that
he was curled up withv'it and purring as
contentedly as he had been with his little
brothers and sisters the day before.
Presently, the old out came, took a look
and a snifl' at the baby skunk, sizzed and
spit spitefully, and then went cantering
off to the wagon house as though she had
seen something that both angered and
frightened her.
The baby skunk’s eyes. were not open,
but Mrs. Bellew said it was as playful as
a kitten. Mr. Bellew then took it away
from the fatherly tomcat and destroyed
it. He had tried in vain for a month to
drive the 01d skunks from the hay barn,
and he felt certain that Bub had found
their nest. When Mr. Bellew started to
milk that evening he saw the tomcat
come from under the barn with something
in his mouth. Bub had captured another
baby skunk, but this time the parent
skunks were after him, and they headed
him off in the middle of the road and
gave him such a hot fight that he was
compelled to drop the kitten and turn
tail. By that time Mr. Bellow had got
his shotgun, and he blazed away and kill-
ed the old skunks and their kitten at one
shot. '
It was eight days before the tomcat
showed up again, and since then, Mrs.
Bellow said, he has brought home two
live young gray squirrels and tried to be
a father to them.
THEY CHOOSE TO.BE SLAVES.
Five Queer Tennessee Negroes ‘Vlio Do
Not Care For Liberty.
“In Cumberland County, Tenn, there
are five negroes who are just as much
slaves as they were before the war,” said
a commercial traveller. “I. stumbled
across them the other day while crossing
asecludel section of the county. The
plantation on which they live is run on a
smaller scale but on exactly the same
principles as it was forty years ago. The
five negroes live iii-the slave quarters,
just as about thirty colored men did in
the ‘good old tim'r‘.’ Not one ofthe five
ever receiim“ j ""15 in wages. They are
perfectly aware they are free, ,but they
have a kind of philosophical appreciation
of the fact that they were not cut out or«
iginally for financiers. From time to
time one or more of them has wandered
from the fold. only to come back half-
naked and lialf-starved.‘ The men are
quite content, and their grumbling is
clearly chronic rather than the result of
any special desire for a change. The
squire is now a. very oldman, but he or-
ders his unpaid help around with all the
'vim and energy of a youth, and the alacri-
ty with which he is obeyed seems to indi-
cate to a visitor that disobedience involves
prompt treatment and unpleasant‘conse-
quences. The plantation altogether pre-
sents a. strikingly entertaining reproduct-
ion of the South before the war, andto
judge from the appearance of the build-
ings and out buildings scarcely a. dollar
has been spent in repairs since the issuing
of Lincoln’s famousl' proclamation.—-St.

IT WILL BE A BLACK STATE.
The Territory of Oklahoma Now Has 66,000
Black ,Populatiou.
The growth of Oklahoma has been one
of the most remarkable in the history of
American territories. A few years ago it
was a barren wilderness, inhabited only
by savage Indians and lawless white men;
to—day it is knocking at the doors of Con-
gress for admission to the Union as a
State. ‘Vhen it is admitted it will have a
larger Afro-American population than
any State of its size and population 'in
the Union outside the Southern States.
From figures furnished by Mr. Peter
Flynn Oliver, a reputable lawyer of El
Reno who went to Oklahoma from South
Carolina a few years ago, it is learned
that the Afro—American population num-
bers 66,000.
The total property holdings of these
people is $6,353,326, divided as follows:
$5,488,190 represented by 548,819 acres of
farm land; $37,400 represented by town
property, and $837,736 represented, by per‘
sonalty. Commenting on these figures,
Mr. Oliver says:
“The land in Oklahoma is largely raw,
and the price I place upon it is extremely
low. Settlers have hardly begun to build
elaborately, and the majority of the pio-
neers brought with them no personalty
worth mentioning save their teams when
they first cam .; some came even teamless.
The personalty valuation is, therefore,
very low. If you could have seen this
barren country, however, April 22, 1889,
then gone away, and dropped down upon
us to-day, you would be wonder struck at
the metamorphosis. The dug-out, the
sod house, and the shock are being rapidly
replaced by beautiful and comfortable
homes for man and beast, and the place
has about it the air of civilization and
some of the features that are characteris-
tic of many of. the Eastern towns of about
the same size.
“The estimates I have given you are for
Oklahoma, excluding other portions of
the old Indian Territory. There is a large
Afro-American population in that portion
of the territory, many of them worth
their hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Creek and Seminole nations have
more African than Indian 'blood in their
veins, and Gov. Brown of the Creeks
shows his African more than his Indian
blood. He is a man of education and
wealth.
“The Kickapoo, the Kiowa, the Coman-
'che, and the Apache lands are likely to
come in soon for settlement. The next
move will then be upon the five civilized
tribes, who own their lands in common.
Then the whole Indian Territory will
have been swallowed by the white ] ran.”
The Afro-Americans have settled: in
some parts almost to the exclusion of :the
whites. Langston City was founded by
E. P. McCabe, who was once Auditor of
Kansas, 3. man of great resource and en-
ergy. The streets, avenues and boule-
vards of Langston City are named in
honor of prominent Afro-Americans. It
supports a weekly newspaper called the
Herald. Mr. McCabe projected another
town, but it has not prospered as well as
Langston City.
Most of the Afro-Americans in Okla-
homa. went there from the Southern
States, Tennessee furnishing a, very large
number, and these are constantly drawing
others after them, as is natural and usual
in such cases, so that it is possible that
when the territory is admitted to_ the
Union it will have an Afro-American
population of some 100,000. In several in-
stances, when those men have been men-
aced by unfriendly Indians and whites,
they have shown that the courage and
determination which carried them into
the territory and enabled them to secure
homes in the wilderness were sufficient t6
protect them and their property.
EMPRESS CATH ERIN E’S FAVORITE.
How the Shrewd Comte de Segur Secured
Potemkin’s Favor.
The most conspicuous person at the
Court of Catherine II. was Prince Potem-
kin; and it was he whom it most behooved
the Comte de Segur to win to his inter-
ests. The Prince’s influence was un-
bounded as his ambition. If he did not
originate the scheme of a vast Eastern em-
pire for Russia, he was at least its most '
zealous supporter. Catherine had en-
dowed him with such immense territories
that he was suspected of aiming at inde-
pendence. It was even said that she had
secretly married him; and Segur thought
this the less improbable, that when
younger favorites foratime supplanted
him he nevertheless retained to his death
an extraordinary authority over her. An
almost incredible deference and servility
were shown him by the whole nobility,
and even the foreign ambassadors found
a difficulty in preserving a. dds dignity in
their relations with him.
“The English Envoy,” says Segur, “ao-
customed from the manners of his coun-
try to every sort of eccentricity,” knew,
with an unfailing tact, how to allow fam-
iliarity without any loss of self—respect.
The Austrian Cobentzl, thinking that in
politics everything was allowable, sur-.
passed the Russian courtiers even in com-
plaisance and docility. Segur had re-
course to different tactics: when Patern-
kin keeps him waiting at an audience, he
goes quietly home; when he is received
by the Prince in a robe de chambre, bare
legs and slippers, he returns the compli-
ment at the return visit. This kind of
treatment seems to have answered admir-
ably. Potemkin, himself an original, and
superbly disdainful of his flatterers, was
attracted by M. de Segur’s originality;
and the latter knew how to pursue his
advantage, by leading the conversation
to the subject dearest to the Prince’s
heart.
The Minstrel’s Joke.
When people go to aminstrel show they
expect to hear and see certain things, and
if they do not they are disappointed.
They resent by silence any digression
from the stereotyped show, and there is
nothing that will drive a minstrel man
to drink sooner than a. lack of applausor
Billy Rice was once accused of using the
same stuff fer twenty years, and was
asked why he didn’t make change of
gags. Billy looked surprised, and. re-
plied: . . ‘
“I have tried new gags. I have bought
all the comic papers and cut out some
stuflf that you would think would make
a. dog laugh, and when I would spring it;
on the audience, some of them would look
tired, and the others would sit still and
look. at me and seem to say, ‘Now, Bill,
we never expected anything like that
from you. ‘Vhat are you giving us, an -
way?’ So, after a few trials, I gave up 1; a.
new gag business. and went back to
mother-in—law and all the good old-timers,
and they laughed till they nigh fell on the
floor. If they don’t laugh I won’t get the
salary. They want mother-in-law and. I

THE son’s FASHIONS.
SUGGESTIONS THAT ARE ALWAYS
PLEASING AND UP TO DATE
Fashions for the Promenade and the Car-
riage Also. New Ideas in Jackets. Small
Tux-bans Are Much Worn. Costumes for
Girls for Summer Outings.
The belief in caprice as a distinctly
feminine characteristic originated at the
beginning of the world and has been per-
petuated with the utmost care entirely on
account of its undoubted usefulness as a
convenient masculine jest or reproach, as
the case may be. Any woman can tell you
that.
The colorings this year are so dainty
andzlight that the women on the prom
enade and in their carriages look like
delicate blossoms. Yellow is predomin-
ant, and has as many shades and names
asone has wishes. Among the prettiest
shades are butterfly yellow, primrose, peri-
winkle and amber. The softest shades in
the last are dotted and striped with white.
White is worn on all occasions, at church,
at home, and on the most festive func-
tions. Black and white, too, holds as firm
a place as last summer in people’s fancy,
and the combinations are so artistic and
have such an air oi refinement that both
old and young can wear them. Checks
are, by the way, the very latest chic ma-
terial. The familiar old variety, known
as shepherd’s plaid, is particularly fash-
ionable, and very stylish dresses are made
of it.
Small turbans are much worn. Some
of them are so small as to be scarcely
more than a crown and are most conve-
nient for boating and bowling. The trim-
ming is a soft roll around the crown, with
high loops and wings on the left side. In
fact, round hats are worn almost alto-
gether this summer, except to church, for
young matrons and elderly ladies.
Belts made of elastic ribbon, and thick-
ly seivn with beads or spangles, are worn
with muslin gowns, for they fit them-
selves to the figure, and,_do away with the
wrinkled look a belt so soon gains when
drawn closely about the waist.
Sleeves are larger and droop more than
formerly, making one groan at the extra
amount of material they necessitate. It
takes three widths of silk for one sleeve.
Sleeves reaching to the elbow are the
thing for dress, and of course the long
suede glove to the elbow finishes the
toilet.
A charming creation consists of a cor-
selette skirt of silvery gray l a'ege grace-
fully draped on the hips and made over a.
second skirt of taffeta. shot in buttercup
and silver shades which shimmer through
the semi-transparent barege. A blouse
bodice of the taffeta has a slashed turned-
down collar. The full sleeves are plaited
into bands richly embroidered with steel
beads. The same trimming is carried up
the sides of the sleeves. A separate shoul-
der cape of baregc in three graduated
leaves arranged in festoon plaits to the
shoulder and is edged with fine cache
point. The fine embroidery used for the
sleeves is also placed around the shoulder
cape.
I f‘
A very chic yet dainty blouse is fash-
ioned of white silk and crepe. The close-
'fitting white silk bodice has fine gradu-
ated lines of pearl passementerie running
up and down. The crepe is arranged so
as to form a square yoke and is carried
back to the hips and falls in loops and
ends below the waist.
A very smart blouse is made with a
Spanish bodice of black satin, with sleeves
of striped blaCk, gray, and white surah,
embroidered with blue flowers. The ac-
cordeon-plaited collarette and chemisette
are of white tulle, finished with a. very
original cravat of pale—blue satin, caught
with a black ring; Awhite tulle hat and
black gloves are worn. A little Figaro
jacket is made of either white wool or
heavy white silk, embroidered with gold.
