January has but a little time left in which to make up for its lost record as a winter month. Look over with critical eye the var ious candidates asking for your sup port. Vote for the best of them. Orfe of the pleaasnt features of the season is the decliue in the price of eggs. The open winter has stimulated the hens to action.

Chicago, Jan. 21.—The terrific de nunciation of the kinness, the star society event of the winter, under the auspices of Mrs. l'almcr, Mrs. Frank lin MacVeach, Mrs. J. O. Armour, | Mr?. Stanley Field aud others equally i prominent in society by Rev. Sidney | Strong, of the Second Congregational! I Church, in Oak Park, has stirred up bitter resentment. The minister was. j present one night, and in bis denunci ation from the pulpit said: I saw young women attending the frappe table attired in such a way that a similar attire in a saloon in South State street would provoke a raid by the police. The women who took part are the product of our best institutions, Bryn Mawr, Vassar and the like, and their relatives are pow ers in the commercial world. The feature that at first aroused me was the irony of the spectacle of a company of women banding them selves together in a "cribside society." It is a hideous caricature for the child less through choice to stand as patrons of the children. The half-naked, painted, sensualized church woman is full sister with the benighted women of South Africa. It seemed to me that the girl graduates of Halsted street who danced oil the West Side had a right to reacli out and clasp hands with the girl graduats at liryn Mawr. The leaders of the kirmessare hitler toward Dr. Strong, declaring he is mistaken, although one woman, on promise not to use her name, said: "The atmosphere on the last night particularly may have been conducive to too much wine. I really believe myself that some of the girls who danced around the place after the dance was over in the early morning hours, did capers they would never have performed if they had stopped to think." CHOIR PICTURE BRINGS " COUSINS TOGETHER Published In North American Two Weeks Ago, It Opens Corre spondence. Monday's north American. Through the publication in The North American two weeks ago today of a photograph of the vested choir of the First Methodist Church of Ger niantown. Pa., Howard Robiuett O'Daniel, the organist and choir master of the church, has been brought into communication with rel atives of whom he had no previous knowledge. They are Mrs. Kate Maus Jones, a daughter of Mr. O'Daniel's older sister, Louise, and her son, Horatio C. Jones, Jr. Th '-e near Dan ville, Pa., on a farn. which has been the Jones family since 1756. Two weeks ago yesterday the choir, which is the only male vested choir singing ill any Methodist church, sang for the first time "The Nativity, a sacred cantata by Adam Geibel, the blind Philadelphia organist. The next day there appeared in there columns a report of the service, with the picture. In a farm house far up the Susque hanna Valley Mrs. Jones saw the pic ture that day. She knew her mother's maiden name had been O'Daniel, and . then remembered hearing when a lit- j tie girl of relatives in Philadelphia. The Christian names of the organist she recognized as old family names, i and his face in the picture showed the I O'Daniel features. Two days later Mr. O'Daniel received a letter of in quiry, a correspondence was opened, ami the fact of relationship establish ed. Mr. O'Daniel attributes the fact of their never having heard oQ each other to the discrepancy between his age and the ages of his older brothers j and sisters, who are now all dead. | His sister Louise married and moved j up the State before he was born and his parents died when he was quite young. Consequently, he never heard of his cousin Kate. "I feel grateful to The North | : American for bringing us together, as I am glad to know my cousins," said . Mr. O'Daniel yesterday.

The "Original Reformer" from the ''lthu'k Hell" had his day last week at the City Party Convention, Phila. He was Delegate Swan, of, the Seventh ward, aud he found his openiug when he was recognized to second the nomi nation of one of his own race for the ! office of Magistrate. • | "I'm a negro; I'm a negro first, i last aud all the time, ami I'm the 1 original reformer of the most thickly settled colored coinmuuity in Phila delphia," he shouted. "The gentleman must bear in mind the rules of the convention," said Senator Gable, tapping for order. "It has heeu declared as the sense of the Committee of Rules that speeches must lx ar upon nominations for the Magistracy under the five-minute rule." "Please do let me appeal from those rules, Senator?" pleaded Swan. "I've suffered too much and bone the heat andbiirdei of the day too often to be thrown down now." "The rules must be obeyed," de clared the chairman. "You will pro ceed and confine yourself to the ques tion of a nomination for the Magis tracy." "That's it; that's it, Senator. I want to back up a negro. I want to back Mr. Wilson to the finish, and when I find 1 can't land him I'll be ready to do as I've done a good many times before—switch. There nint no political party that ran jump any quicker than I can. I've been every thing in the political category. I've been a Republican, Democrat Prohi bitionist, Fusiouist, Committee of One Hundred man, out for the Com mittee of Seventy aud now I am with the City Party. And I've been one of the wet nurses at the birth of every newborn baby in Philadelphia politics. But I've always beeu against the gang—no matter what gang it was. "And what's the result'' Look at me, every man in this convention. Look at me and watch me close. Everything tlint I've got in this world, that I can call my own, is on my back. Everything else that I ever owned is scattered around in the pawnshops. That's what it costs to be a genuine reformer —-and I'm it. "I've been in with the best of them aud I've got the bad end al ways. Don't I look it? But I'm still in the ring. I'm still fighting and I'm goin' to vote for the nomina tion of a black man for Magistrate. If he don't wiu, me for the Demo crats. "I'm bucking everything there is left of the Durham-McNichol gang tooth and nail aud I'll stay to the fin ish if it cost me all of the glad rags I've got left. And if the reformers don't stand true I'm ready for any new party that conies along. You'll find me a red-hot Down went the gravel.

Carrie Jones, whose story of one of the most revolting Crimes in the an nals of New .Jersey led to the arrest of her father, Albert Jones, is a frail little cliilil of but seven years. She makes her home with her u.iele, John Baldwin, at Ni. 115R Le.vis street, Camdei . Mr. Baldwin ai <1 his wife. Mi mi', gave Ihe dot tils of the alltjj ed crime, as told by the child, iu MI interview at their home Mr. Bald win said: "Mrs. Albert Jones the child's mother, is a sister of my husband. My husband and I were at Mason ville about a week before Christmas, visiting Mr. aud Mrs. Jones, who live iu a hovel. Little Carrie plead ed so earnestly togo home with us that we took pity on her anil brought her along, with the consent of her parents. I saw that she was sick and suffering, but had no thought that the cause could be as it is. My only thought was that she could have bet ter care at my home. "A short time afterward her father aud mother came here and signed some papers, saying that t(|ey would give the child to me. The father said he never wanted me to bring.the child back to him, and I told him to not let that worry him, as I would care for her and raise her. He then remarked: " 'lf you ever bring her bacl{ to me I will knock her head off with the butt of a gun.' And he spoke as if he meant it. I have always looked upon him a-s a desperate man, and both my husband and I have been afraid of him. "When I took the child her father said to me. 'You can have her, but I tell you she will uever be any good to you.' When 1 pressed him for an explanation of what lie meant lie would only say that she would never be any good to me or anyone else. Last Sunday he came here with another man, whose looks I did not j like. I know they did not come for any good. lie wauted me to let him take Clara back home with him and said I could have her sister. Maggie, aged 12 years, iu her place. I declin ed to make such an exchange. "After I got Clara home I began to doctor her, but noticed she did not improve under home treatments as I would like. For a week past she has bsen trying to tell me of what hap pened to her aud her sisters, but I paid but little attention to her sayings thinking them mere imaginations of a child. On Tuesday night I found evidence to bear out lier tales. To -1 day I took her to the Camden City Dispensary, where she was examined by Dr. J. T. White, of No. 1158 Hadodu avenue. He said there was no question as to the truth of the stor ies and she was in a serious condition. She said that not only her father, but another white man anil a negro had ossaulted her. "Then Carrie told the awful story of both her sisters, Maggie and Mary, having also been assaulted by her father, and said that she saw her father murder Mary, who was but 9 years old, aud throw her body in a pond near Bull Head Park, at Mason ville. This she says happened a year ago last summer. She states that her father struck Mary on the head with a club in the road near their home, knocking her unconscious. Then he <1 ragged her into the house, stripped off her clothing, cut her throat with a i knife, us a butcher slaughters a hog, tied a rope weighted with a stone ! around the neck and, dragging her body to the pond, about a square away, threw it into the water, where it sank from sight. He then washed the blood from his hands at a spring." FOR SALE.—A 21 horse power gasolene engine for less than half what it cost new.

This habit Is derived from the gypsies and doubtless dates from some long forgotteu oriental custom. It Is very curious that a taste for ! similar colors prevails among the Hindoos, gypsies and costermongers. Red and yellow are the favorite colors and the oldest. Of these, the coster chooses his plush waistcoat and hla kingsman, the gypsy his breeches and | his wife her shawl and gown; the Hindoo his robe and turban. If a fight occurs, the favorite colored ar ticle of dress receives the greatest care. The pugilistic coster ties his klngsman round his waist or his leg, where, by the rule of the ring, It Is comparatively safe. London Tele graph. Ill* Toncb. "Thftt pianist has a metallic touch."

MAY HELP OUT POLICYHOLDERS Rigiil to Sue Big Companies to Be Soon Determined. New York, Jan. 20.—Attorney General Mayer will give a hearing February •! on the application of the Lincoln National Bank, to bring suit against the Equitable Life for the re covery of dividends in connection with a policy which was assigned to the bany by oneof its clients, if the At torney General permits the bank to bring suit, it will probably pave the way for similar actions by thousands of policyholders all over the country against not only the Equitable but the other large insurance companies. It was learned today that George W. Beavers, who was indicted on a number of counts in connection with frauds iu the Post Office Dcpaitment, entered the employ of the New York Life Insurance Company as a general agent after he lost his Government position and has since become a "Nylie" of high degree. Until a few months ago Beavers was oue of the chief men in the New York Life agency, in the Park Row building, one of the largest agencies iu the city. The members of the Armstrong committee continued today their con ference with Insurance Commissioners from other States. As a result the Commissioners of several of the States represented will recommed to their Legislatures the enactment of reform insurance laws. OASTOfIIA.

The world will see other sea fights, but never one like this, so elose, so swift and with so much in it of tlio personal element. And what may bo called the pace of the battle, the swift ness with which incident follows inci dent, is almost without a parallel in the history of war. The first gun was fired at 12:15; at 12:22, or only seven minutes after the l-'rench guns opened on him, Collingwood, with the British ships nearest to him, was through the enemy's line. Only one brief minute later, or at by the log of the Kuryalus, Nel son is in the fight, and is pouring his first dreadful broadside into the stem of Villeneuve's flagship. Two minutes later the French and Spanish topmasts begin to fall. At 1:32, or sixty-seven minutes after the first gun was fired, Blackwood reports "the center and rear of enemy's line to be hard pressed in action." The fate of the battle is prac tically settled. Already some of tho enemy's ship 3 have struck. The swift moments run on, and the pulses of the great lisjit keep time with them. The advantage is not ail on one side. At 2:30, for example, or less than two hours from the moment when, a shape of majestic pride, the Royal Sovereign moved lato the zone of the enemy's fire, she lies a mastle3s and helpless hulk. She has done her work, but she has paid a terrible price for It. There is at this moment a flutter of flags on the masthead of the Victory, for Nel son has a great captain's watchful vision, and a frigate—it is the Euryalus —comes down with every inch of can vas set, groping her way through the smoked to take the battered hull of the Royal Sovereign in tow, so that her broadsides—the mighty ship can still fight, though she cannot sail—bear upon the enemy's ships within her reach. This is not a battle spread through days. It Is compressed almost into minutes. The first shot was fired at 12:15; before 3 o'clock flag after flag is going down; a great fleet is crumbling into ruin. By 5:30 o'clock all is over.— ( Cornhill Magazine. A Stubborn Opening-.
