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.

SWITCHED BY REFORM
Democrec, Gains a Colored Recruit by
Boric's Success.
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

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."

HIS "KINGSMAN."
The Silk Neckerchief Worn by the
London Coatertnonarer.
Speaking of London costermongers.
Mayliew says:"The man who doos
not wear his silk neckerchief—his
'klngsman,' as It Is called—ls known to
be In desperate circumstances." The
1 neckerchief Is more prized than any
I other Item of his attire and a coster's
! caste Is at stake If his klngsman be
| not of the most approved pattern.
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

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.

The SuiftucNN of Action of This Great
Aioval lluttle.
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.

The head of the household was going
through her husbaud's pockets the next
morning.
"What kept you out so late last
night?" she suddenly demanded.
•*lt was the opening of the campaign,

"Well, it didn't take three corkscrews
' to open it, did it?"
And she drew the offending articles
from his side pocket and waved them
before him.—Cleveland Tlaiu Dealer.
