HK5SStIiak THOS. HOMEB, Mana?er. FLIRTING IN CHURCH. At Oakland the Nuisance Was Suppressed ; by the Pollco. Rev. Dr. McLean, pastor of the First Congregational church at Oakland, Cal., was compelled not long ago to cull on the authorities to preserve order during the progress of the Sunday services. The gal-lery of Dr. McLean's church, it seems, has for some time been the trysting place of flirtatious young couples, who heard never a word of the sermons, but spent the hours of worship in giggling, talking and the writing of silly notes. All sorts of appeals were made to the offenders. They w ere asked either to be-have or to stay away. Nothing availed, and the nuisance grew unbearable. Then Chief of Police Tompkins was appealed to, and he detailed Officer Howlettto suppress the flirting. The next Sunday Howlett doffed his uniform, put on plain clothes and took a seat in the rear of the gallery. What he saw and what he did is best told In his own words. Says the officer: "It was like a variety show at first; everybody was chewing gum and laughing and gfggling and passing notes, and no one was paying any attention to the ser-mon. I looked around and it wasn't long before I spotted three girls In one cornel who were having altogether too good a time. I went up to them very polite like and asked them to stop. You ought to have seen those girls look. 1 gave them a chance and then repeated my request 8nd showed my star. "Kven that didn't stop them, and after one more trial I told them they had better leave the church. Tiiey took my advice. Alter i nan asKea a few to leave things worked easily. Sometimes they would make an objection, but a glance at my star or a request that they leave soon stopped all monkey business. They were mighty nice giris and some pretty dudish young DR. M'LEAN AND HIS CHURCn. fellows. They were not of the first fami-lies evidently, but were a little too giddy. "Flirting," continued Mr. Howlett, "U all right, but it is hardly proper in church. It ain't right to talk out and giggle nnd tell stories and write notes. . You know that there is a regular crowd of young men who make the rounds of every church in Oak-bin- d on Sunday nights. They will drop in for a minute at one church to see if there are any girls whom they know there. If there ain't they go to the next, and so on until they find some one to take home. These young fellows have a bad habit of waiting iu the anterooms and smoking cigarettes, or waitinir on tho stens until services are over and their girls come out. When tho ushers would speak to them they would get laughed at for their pains, but they didn't take very long to tumble to me." THE NEW RILEY. Frank Boo Batchelt er In Life.

On Keep And write a ladder poem, he can to the front, while his more unfortunate brother who happened to be commis-sioned in a regiment where "few die and none resign" was doomed to slow promotion. It was a common thing to see two men of equal ability, graduating at the same timo from West Point, or otherwise commissioned, and assigned to two different regiments of infantry stand at the end of ten years, through no fault or merit of their own, one a first lieutenant and the other still a second lieutenant. Under the new dis-pensation all the officers belonging to the same arm of the service will have an equal chance for promotion, a va-cancy in any regiment giving the senior officer of that arm the next higher rank. Tlio justice of the thing is so palpable that tho wonder is it has not been at-tained sooner, but custom, especially in the army, is hard to overcome, and this one in particular was defended on the narrow ground that it enhanced the spirit of regimental unity. ItKFORM IN THE ARMY. One of the most important bills re-specting tho army was passed in the house yesterday, deserving tho title, "An act to do justice to army officers.''' Heretofore all the promotions of com-pan- y oilicers were made within the regiments to which they belonged and wholly regardless of their relative standing in their respective arm of tho ervice. Thus it came to pass that a second lieutenant who happened to be assigned to a regiment in which death, or resignations, or retirement created number of vacancies, leaped rapidly THE ARREST OF IRISH LEADER'. The surprise at the unexpected arrest of the Irish leaders, a full telegraphic account of which lirst appeared in Tub Tim eh, is probably not greater in Ire-land than it is in this country. When Balfour went into ollico on tho wave of a coalition victory over the Liberals it was expected that ho would pursue a relentless policy against Ireland, and ho did. Equipped with special legisla-tion passed for that purpose, and an almost absolute authority backed by spies and constabulary, he soon reduced the country to a condition of sullen (submission, which ho declared in the commons to be the extinction of agra-rian crimes. This accomplished, ho prepared the land bill for tho govern-ment which, though opposed by Mr. Parnell, appeared to many liko a step in tho direction of a compromise- and an earnest effort to rule Ireland by less drastic means than he had hitherto em-ployed. In view of this his recent policy, and not became a high handed outrage might not be expected at any timo of the Irish secretary, the whole-sale arrests yesterday, caused a 1 sensation and indignation. Certainly tho press of the United htatea is thoroughly informed on the political situation of Ireland, and yet it was not aware that any unusual com-motion, except that caused by the fail-ure of the potato crop nnd the resultant fear of a famine, was going on justify. nig mo ciiarge ot treason against a number of tho loading men of tho coun-try. , The London News says, "Balfour has committed an act of stupendous folly for which it is difficult to assign n rational motive." In this sentiment tho American people will generally join excepting that they will not place upon Halfour tho solo responsibility. While he doubtless suggested the step, it is impossible to believe that in a matter so momentous and grave ho did not advise with his nnclo and cabinet. A good many people will also wonder what is the matter with Parnell. ARRIVALS AM) CLOSE OF MAILS. Schedule of arrival and closing of malls at the Salt Lake city PoBtofllce.

A stock broker who was recently in Mains was impressed very greatly with the extreme cleanliness of the hotel at which he was a guest during a brief stay in the town of Kittery. It was kept by two old maiden ladies. One morning the broker heard a conversation between them. "Jane," called out one of the old maids, who was at the head of the stairs, "oh, Jane." "Well," answered Jane. "Get some hot water from the kettle and fetch it up hero. I want to scrub the floor." "They ain't no hot water in the kettle." "WhatI no hot water in the kettle!" surprisedly. "No. No hot water in the kettle" sadly. "WhatI No hot water in the kettle!" sharply. "No. No hot water in the kettle!" very sadly. "Well, I be durned!" New York Times. Anywav, President Ezeta starts in right. He has granted a general am-nesty lo all political clTenders. Con(;hessmen are determined to break the uorum of the house if they have to break open tho doors. It is time congress adjourn. Even Senator Aldrich is being con-vinced that his amendment providing for the withdrawal of bonded goods on October 1, is a menace to the money market of tho county, and he is will-ing to extend the timo to January 1st, which will very likely be done. - In Colorado they regard faction above party, and as a result both may be left. The republican majority in that state Is not so largo that tho party can afford to countenance a split and jeopardize the re election of Senator Teller, who has proved a host within himself on the silver question. Why It Wasn't a Good Cigar. "This cigar isn't as good as you usually offer a fellow." "Nof It's out of the box you gave me." IS CONSUMPTION CUHABI.IC? Consumption is the one dread disease that decimates the human race, and against which no nostrum has yet proved effective. With all its wonder-tu- l strides of progress In recent years, tho medical profession stands helpless in tho face of this malady. Alleviation there may be, cure there is none. At least thero was none, hitherto; but Science never relaxes her efforts on account of past failures but toils cease-lessly on, searching, exploring, experi-menting. A brief telegram in The Times that probably attracted little at-- I tention when it appeared, made men-tion of the fact that Dr. Koch, the re-nowned specialist on bacilli had dis-covered a remedy for consumption. Had it boon a prize light the wire would have probably reported the news at greater length, but the mere dismw. of a means to save a tenth of mankind from premature death scarcely war-ranted a detailed account. And yet the name of Koch is a gnarauteo to the world that his claim is at least honest. He iinds that the bacillus of tuberculosis iu man and in chickens is very similar, and that the step to-ward the removal of the bacillus in the one is the same whioh is to be employed in the other. Tho German physicist finds that tho direct action of the solar light on the bacillus destroys it in a ccrtaiu length of time, and that even diffused light is also effective iu bringing this result. It is also found that sunlight, joined with judicious cli-matic treatment is effective in destroy-ing tho germs of tuberculosis in the n system. It is shown iby statistics that people who are constantly exposed to consumption, but are in tho open air are less subject to tho disease than those Mho rarely come in contact with it Another point in Dr. Koch's researches is that certain substances lessen, if they do noi fully check, tho development of tho bacilli in man; but on these points tho German physician has not yet worked out his couclusions to such re-sults as he wishes to reach. Sullicient has been ascertained by his investiga-tions,;howevc-to show that a method is likely to be reached in a short timo by which the victims of consumption can bo greatly lessened, and that is but the beginning of tho experiment. Such is fato. Osman Pashaw whoso - resistance to tho Russian alliance nt Plevna made him one of tho great he-roes of tho world and certainly the most prominent figure in the Turko-Russia- n war of 1877, was drowned to-day, lie would have preferred death on the battlefield. UtAn can fill a spaco of ten acres in tho exhibit at the World's fair and make an interesting display besides, but until it is quite sure that there will be a World's fair in Chicago it is scarcely necessary to wax enthusiastic upon the subject. Thus far the squabble over the site or sites has not yet ended. Conoruss performed a generous act when it placed General Fremont on the retired list with tho rank of major geu- - erai, but it would have pleased tho old pathfinder more had some provision been made at the same timo for Mrs. Fremont. Tho report comes from San Prancisoo that this gifted and remark-able woman is in destitute circum-stances. She should not be left so an-other day. II Is Unlucky Friday. Elias A. Sullivan, nicknamed by friends "Yank" Sullivan, who bravely met death In the Baltimore and Ohio wreck at Os-ceola, was one of the best known engineers on the road. "Yank" firmly believed in all the peculiar superstitions to which railroaders as a class pin faith. Two months before his fatal wreck be took his engine, No. 475, the largest on the road, out of the repair shops. On h is first trip a wreck occurred on the eastern division. This cemented his half hearted faith in an unlucky Friday. His engine needed re-pairs shortly afterward, and was ready for the road again on tho Friday previous to the night of his death ride. This time "Yank" positively refused to go out, say-ing an accident was sure to follow. His fears were laughed to scorn bv thn nun collected iu the roundhouse, aud Sullivan took the engine. That his words were prophetic proved too true, and it would be impossible now to gtt an engineer to take his engine out of the Glenwood shops on Friday. Result of tlio Conference. "Barthleson," inquired a fellow reportor, "what have yon been doing In the manag-ing editor's room?" "Been holding a consultation with him." "What about?" "About the management of the paper." "Any change in its policy contemplated ?" "Yes. That's what the consultation was about." "What was decided upon, if you don't mind tolling me?" "It was decided," said Barthleson, twist-ing his mustache gloomily, "that the pa- per didn't need me on its payroll anv longer." Philadelphia Press. The Color Washed Off. "Mary," said the negro minstrel, falling on his knees before the fair one, "Mary I love you Will you be mine?" "Oh, Thomas," murmured Mary, "per- haps you do not mean itt Perhaps you are trifling with me. How do I know? Men are such deceivers!" "Darling," he replied, "I could not be so base! I am not a saint, I know. I might be better, but in spite of all my faults I am not so black as I am painted." Mary swooned at the joke.-Lawr- ence American. Shocking Scenes in a Cemetery. At San Francisco there is a small ceme-tery in which from time to time have been interred the bodies of members of tho Greek ohurch. Recently the directors thought it advisable to vacate the ground and soil it for business purposes. They A Br.SKCRATKD GRAVE, therefore secr-s- d an order of court permit- ting them to remove the coiiins. Then tin relatives of the dead made a showing which caused the order to be revoked However, while several legal questions remained nnscttlfd the corpses were taken out and reintwred in tho city cemetery. Tho transfer was made with snch hnsto that bones, pieces of coflins and grave clothes were left scattered about the lot and somo of the disinterments were onlv partly completed. The angry relatives and friends of tho dead propose to seek tho aid of tho courts in punishing those re-sponsible for the desecration. Those foolish lovers who committed suicide in New York yesterday must have been satiated with tho sentimon-ltalit- y of their national poet, Schiller, as expressed in "Cabal and Love." They imitated the parts of Ferdinaud and Louise to a cruel extreme. If the couple had waited a few years until their ro-mantic notions had made room to more practical views of lifo they might have lived and been happy yet. A senti-mental girl at 19 is liable to be rash. In Connecticut the republicans nomi-nated a full stato ticket. Including the governor, yesterday, and pretty soon the democrats will do the same thing, but incredible as it may seem, there is a dash of humor associated with Con-necticut elections. It is the only stato in the union in which they generally choose the man who has the least num-ber of votes for that place. A plurality docs not count in Connecticut, though it does everywhere else, aud the elec-tion is usually thrown into the legisla- ture. A Correction.

Stevens, of Bridge-port, Conn., sits down to read his Bible a person watching him-migh- t think ho had a pile of thin cedar boards in his lap, and as he turns leaf after leaf thev crackle and fall with a thud. Another remarkable thing about Mr. Stevens reading his Bible is that he needs no light to search the Scriptures with, and it is not necessary for him to look nt the book. He has the biggest, heaviest and queerest Bible in Connecticut. H is a deaf and blind soldier of the rebellion. His wonderful Bible was presented to him by the American Bible society, and it cost $28 to produce the hmfe f. k; It is in eight volumes, with embossed rnnt, and he reads it by touch, feeling the letters; yet he is apt and quick at that kind of perusal. The whole eight volumes are quite a lift for a man ol or-dinary strength. Each volume is 15i inches long, 13 inches wide and about 6 inches thick.

Different peoples denote grief by differ- ent colors. In Home males wore black for mourning, while the women indicated their prief by wearing white garments. In itirkey at the present day the mourning hue is violet; in China, white; in Egypt jellow; in Ethiopia, brown; in Europe and America, black. The mourning color in Spam was white until changed by law.
