A special meeting of the Lancaster Heard

hall of the Y. M. C. A., le hear a repert of the
trustees relative te sorting a isjrmanent
place of meeting.
K J. Housten in behalf of the trustceii re
ported that II. K. Kshlcinan, esq., offered te
lease te the Heard of Trade three rooms en
the second fleer of Iishleman's uw building,
Ne. t5 North Duke atroet, and furnish llghl.
hontandjanlturferlliosuiu of tiM) per an'
nilin, the ImnI te have the daily ue (,f the
rooms If they desire, and the use of the large
hall en the third fleer once or twlce a month
If occasion doinanded It, without extra
charge. Mr. Kab Ionian would also furnUh
chairs, hut the beard would have te furnish
carpets nnd whatever ethor furnlture they
might noed.
Mr. llousteu also reimrbsl that Hhenk A
llauxuian, Insurance agents, whose elllcea
are In IheKtovens heuse, corn or West IKIng
and I'rincoatreotH, olleroil i give the beard
the dally use of their back efllce, and the use
of both front and back offices during the
OTenlug for an annual rout ulll7,i -including
tight, heat, and n Janitor.
Jehn I). Mkllea moved that tlie trusteet be
Instructed te lease the rooms In Kshleinau'n
law building at the rent uttered.
II. F. llreueman, In aocendlng the motion,
aaid he regarded the rooms at the most ellgl ellgl
bie In the city for the puri-ose el the beard.
Uoergo N. Koynelds preferred the toems or
Kbenk it llsusiuau at being mero central and
lieslden there would always be Homebody
there te dlteet strangers coming te tbecily
where te llud the officers aud members of the
beard.
Mr. HkllOA thought Lshleman's building
about as central as Uhenk A Ilausmau'a.
Dr. J. P. Wlckershain wat decidedly In
favor of Kshleman'n rooms, Ihey are mero
convenlcntly located nnd arranged, The
Heard of Tradesheuld haves home et lta own
whero the busluess men of the city could
convene and consult with business
moil from abroad without Interfering
with the private business, at they
would have te de it they met at
Hhenk A, Bailsman's ; bealdes the beard
should net depend ou these gentlemen, esti
mable as they are known lobe, te perlerm
duties that belong te the beard. He repeated
the beard should have a home of Its own,
where It could entertain its uwn mem
bers mid their guests, and he under
stood there wasa lliioceoKitig range In the
r.suiemau uuuuuig, wmen ceuta be bail ir
occasion demanded ; and everybody, includ
ing the K)lillclana from tbe time of Jeffersen
un, knew that a geed dinner Is the best
means el making meti wurk harmoniously
tegether.
L. li. Herr had no doubt the Lshleuian
rooms were the liest, but at It it net certain
that the Heard el Trade will contain at many
membnrH at wat at first supposed it might
lie well te koep down the mrrent oxpenseH
for a time. He understood that many of the
original niembers hail withdrawn Irem or
had net taken much Interest lu the success
et the benrd.
Secretary Moero stated that only two mem
bers had formally withdrawn.
K. J. Housten said he wat briniy 111 favor
of leasing the ofllce et Shenk V Hausman.
Nearly all the merchants and ethor business
moil who 001110 te town step at the Stevens
heuse and tbeiofere necessarily pass the deer
or Sheek it Hausman. He thought the beard
could net ter $1,000 pet another place be
eligible. The roema are en the ilrst fleer and
people will net climb up stairs ir they can
avoid IU He granted that if we are te consult
the personal convenience et meinbcis Lshlo Lshle
luati'rt building hat Heme advantages, but If
we are te consult the growth of our city by
coming In easy contact with strangers who
have money tu Invest tn new enterpriset the
S'henk A. Hauaman rooms are prelerable.
The question waa railed fur un Mr. Skiles'
motion te leiie Lthlemaii s rooms ami it wat
carried almost unanimously.
On motion uf Mr. Skiles the trustees wero
ordered te furnish the rooms in tbe Lshle
man building with tbi necessary furniture.
Mr, Housten wunteu te knew hew much
money the trustee1 should eipend for this
purpose. Twe bundled dollars wat first
suggested ; then three hundred, and tiually
the matter wat lelt te the discretion el tbe
trustoeH.
President I lager suggested that it might
be a geed thing te have estajt prepared by
inemberMnnd reud at Iho in iiitiili or semi
monthly meetings.
Dr. WlckerHhaiu moved that 11 special
meeting be held mi the third Tuesday iu
Decemt er, mid that the pietidenl npiKJint au

At the tiiue named comes only a few days

lleiv te l'ren flowers.
A writer lu Gurdenuig Illutirnled uses
cotton battling Instead et bibulous paper In
which te place Iresli flowers for pressing. "I
have had," he lays, "much exorleiice In
llewer drying, and 1 never round any kind
or paper answer, however carelully used, and
ler the following reasons : First, the paper
of any kind is, however lightly pressed,
tee hard a substance te touch the dolicate
bloom of substance et the jielals el nuy
llewer, and at ence Injures the tender skin,
causing the liquid te oxudeaud saturate the
leal, which tends te decay it, at well as te in
jure or destroy tlie flower. Secondly, paper
doea net absorb tbe natural moisture rapidly
enough, but remaiut damp about the llewer,
thus allowing the air te pass through, whlle
damp air injures both color and leaf. 1 have
tried a great mauy different ways, and one
only hat proved really successiul namely
tbe use el cotton wool. 1 take n small tolle,
In which I have folds of newspapers, four

Only captains or clubs can question nuy de.

Tlie question or having two umpires and a

the commltlee voted ngalnst the scheme and
it was dropped. A modlhcatieu of Hie

be required te keep his forward feet firmly

must be held In plain view of tlie umpire.
The pltcher cannot, as heretofore, deliver

Only two catchert will be permitted, and

of a Hpeeeh made by him iu Huntingdon,

It li Hcircely necessary te say thnt 1
have never repudiated relurni iu the civil
serv ice nor abated my Interest therein, nor
have 1 ever regarded the Bneer at a forcible
mede of argument. Were I tempted te re
sort te it I should direct It net against
theroterui et the civil service, but against
the hypocrisy or theso who wish the condi
tions el that aervlce te be enforced against
their political opponents, but nut against
their political friends. The point which 1
sought te establish iu my speech ut lltiutlug lltiutlug
deu was entirely oentusod and obscured iu
the Independent circular. Iu effect I falil
that tlie English civil sorvice, which was
l'C.d up at a model for our own government
by tlioi-e who lett the Republican party two
yc.ira age, is new uuder investigation and
apparent rotuuiendatinu by the English
themselves ; that the British ministry have
instituted a commission te oxatnlne into the
alleged abuse-), and that Mr. it. W. Smalley,
apparently agreeing hlthei te w ith the Ameri
can admirers of the Kuglish service, new
declares the belief lu Kugland te be that the
chll sorvice It werse In all the departments
uf the government than it was forty jeaiH
age. Mr. Smalley gives a somewhat do de do
talled recital of the defects aud abuset alleged
te exist in the Knglish service delects nud
abuses which vvere never attributed te our
own civil service even by Its most merciless
censer. My argument implied mid was In
tended te Imply that the Republican party
had been vvlie in net adopting the English
system with its Hie tenure and lta large pen pen
sten list and all the attendant evils which
have nt iast demanded Investigation by
11 ministerial commission. Ner would
justlce aud lair courtesy have been

conformed te British policies Just nt the very
time when the British themsalves are ffudiug
u lata! weakness lu theso jwlicies. lu short,
th'ttgh I did net Hay se iu words, 1 meant te
convey my belief that the very worst leulers
mid guides for a continental republic are theso
who persist in seeing the perlectlen of human

Massachusetts Independents should learn
that American inspiration ends where Imita
