FREE LAND, PA., FEBRUARY 10,1898. The Passing of Gentility. A frankness that is almost brutal seems to pass current in society for up to-date smartness, and the language that is now used by certain fashionable people among themselves is sometimes only a little short of billingsgate, while "swear words" seem to have lost their awfulneas and are used almost as free ly by women as by men. It is curious how "gentility" both as a word and d quality has disappeared. Fashionable people are distinctly no longer "gen teel." They may on occasions be high bred, but the mincing propriety of the belles and beaus of yore has entirely disappeared. In a well-known society novel written. 15 or 20 years ago, which was a presumably correct delineation of the manners and habits of the fash ionable life of that time, two heroines play their role. One, a Vere de Vere, with the correct speech and manners of her caste, aud the other a suddenly ex alted bourgeoise, who goes through the social fires of criticism and experience before she emerges tjue gold from the ordeal. Oddly enough, to-day the types might be reversed; it is the bourgeoise who is "high toned" and the Vere de Vere who is a slangy hoyden. To be in the swim in certain parts of Maine, it is necessary to be a member of what is called "fresh-pork clubs." These clubs, it appears, are cooperative organizations for killing hogs and keep ing the members supplied with fresh jrork for the season. The social and sanitary advantages of membership in a fresh-pork club are many. As is well known to all Americans who have lived in the country, the pig-killing time be gins in September and continues at in tervals until the holidays. By joining a club a family can prolong the fresh pork season for months, as the pork of each slaughter is divided among the members. But this is not the only ad vantage of membership. A local paper says that fresh-pork clubs have become so important in many communities that weddings and social entertainments are arranged so that "they may come off in pig-killing time." Anaconda, Mont., is getting ready to defy the rivalry of the world in its pub lic fountain, with a perpendicular jet three inches in diameter und 220 feet high. Around the base of the fountain, constructed of massive rough masonry, a fringe of jets will rise to different heights and at many angles. The water comes from a mountain lake six miles distant and fed by melting snow. The valves of the supply will be governed by electricity. It is intended that every lire plug in the city shall throw a stream 100 feet high by direct pressure. Li Hung Chang, now at the head of the foreign office in China, is the ablest of tlic Chinese statesmen. Gen. Grant became acquainted with him when on liis journey around the world, and the general pronounced him to be one of the four greatest statesmen of the world, the others being Beaconsfield, Bismarck and Gambetta. When Li visited this country, he went to Gen. Grant's tomb, and placed wreaths of flowers on his grave. A "horse lover" writes to the New York Tribune, urging very stroingly the use of rubber horseshoes when the streets are slippery, and expresses "wonder why horse owners do not more generally save their horses in life and limb by using shoes made of rub ber—not the pads which cover the sur face of the hoof and are really n detri ment, but the genuine shoe, made of rubber and steel." One of the most novel excuses for wishing a divorce was recently given in an application made by a Sherman (Tex.) man for legal separation from his wife. They have been married 30 years, but Richardson claims that she lius been too faithful and constant to the memory of a former sweetheart, who died before they were married, and on this ground be asks the court to grant him a divorce. No year passes in these times with out tlie discovery of a new microbe. The whooping cough has yielded up the invisible, but by no means inaudible, little pest responsible for that disease. It is exceedingly small and clubshuped. Only the most powerful microscopes re veal it to the eye. Science has not yet explained how it managed to produce such explosive effects of the vocal or gans.

GoTerour-Geoeral of the Dominion Offi ciates In the Senate Chamber—The romp and Splendor of the Kvent At tracts the Society of the Capital City. Ottawa, Canada, February 4, 1898. i The Canadian parliament for the ses ! sion of 1898 was opened yesterday by ; Lord Aberdeen, governor-general of the Dominion. This was the first time that such an event occurred since my coming to Canada, and I was eager to embrace the opportunity of witnessing the cere mony. The sessions of parliament are very brief, lasting not more than a few months in any year, and on this account it is not an extremely familiar organ ization even in this, the eapital city. It seemed to me yesterday that the open ing of the session, with its attendant pomp and ceremonials, constitutes a great part of the Interest which the average Canadian attaches to it. A little more display than usual accom panied the opening this year. It was the last at which Lord Aberdeen will officiate as governor-general, and the society pvople turned out about as gorgeously as they knew how in order to make It a memorable one. I was not aware previous to yesterday noon that I would be able to attend the opening, and in consequence had made no preparations for it. As a result I found myself, in company with several acquaintances, before the doors of tho parliament building without the passport necessary to gain admission. Grand equipages where driving up Parliament Hill in quick succession. Men and women alighted briskly and hurried Into the building. Time meant position. The first to arrive had tho CHIEF POINTS OF VANTAGE at their disposal. Everybody seemed bent on arriving first. As time went by, and we were still on tho outside, and as tho booming of cannon betokened the near approach of the governor general and tho commencement of the ceremony, we arose to the need of be stirring ourselves to get Inside. Our party consisted of six Canadians and two Americans. There was no prospect of our getting in en masse, so we decided to let each look out for him self. The first to go was a young Cana dian, who espiod tho M. P. from his district and buttonholed him for a pass port. He was successful. Tho next was also a Canadian, who obtained a ticket from a friend in one of tho do partments. The third to go was my fellow-countryman, who was taken in by a gentleman from the city. I was on tho vergo of being left alone —a stranger in a strange land. I was without a ticket, but happily not without resource. T rocollocted having about me some where a card bearing the following in scription: TRIBUNE, FKEKLAND, PA. Represented by I searched my pockets for it, but fail ed to find it. 1 was at a loss to know what became of it. Finally I remem bered having placed it as a marker in a new hat that I had purchased a short time ago. and on removing the headgear I found it safely ensconced under the band, it was a little the worse for the purpose it was serving. Ilowevrr, a careful straightening out made it pass able. With this sign of rank, I sauntered up to the brother of "Tommy Atkins" who guarded the door, a veritable disciple of Greeley, Raymond, Bennett, et al . I I presented the card, accompanying it, byway of introduction, with the state ment that I was an American newspaper man spending some time in Canada, and neglected until too late to apply f <r the regulation passport. I was told that the press gallery was taxed to its full capacity, but If I would accept a place in tho visitors' gallery I might go in. Of course I went in. But If I had lost my hat in the crush I would have been un able to identify it. After getting inside I found tbe chief object of Interest to be the crowd which assembled to witness the ceremony. Tho opening itself was a mere formality, which required no special skill or un common intelligence to perform. It served simply as AX OCCASION FOLT SHOW, and in this respect it was thoroughly satisfactory. Canadian society was out in force, arrayed in Its finest trappings. Tho governor-general arrived at the parliament building under escort of bis special aids and a company of dragoons. Several heavy guns fired a salute, and a regimental band played "God Save the Queen." He went immediately to the senate chamber, where he took his place on a temporary throne. The desks of the senators wore removed and the whole room was giving up to *<Stiug the crowd. About as many women as men were in attendance. Tho former were handsomely attired, while the men, other than the military officers, wore evening dress. As the opening took place in the chamber of the senators no invitation was necessary for them to attend it. But as this was not so of the house of commons, Lord Aberdeen sent a special messenger to Invite them. This messenger Is styled tho Gentle man Usher of the Black Rod. It is a unique position and is filled by a unique official. The insignia of his office is an ebony rod, surmounted by a little brass lion. His salaaming as lie left the presence of the governor-general, and his bowing before the speaker of the house, was quite amusing. It was one of the delightful features of the opening. When he went to deliver his message he picked up his rod, and marched with military pecision to the house. Here he was announced by the sergeant-at-arms, and given permission to enter. As he came in ho lowered nearly to the floor, raised himself slowly and SUDDENLY JERKED HIMSELF into an erect posture. Thrice he re* peated it before coming sufficiently near the speaker to extend his invitation. This he did In the following words: "His excellency, the governor-general, desires the attendance of the honorable, the house, at the opening of parliament in the chamber of the honorable, the senate." He repeated the invitation In French. The house accepted it, al though every member did not attend. On the arrival of the commons in the senate, the governor-general read the speech from the throne, and formally declared the parliament opened for busi ness. The speech was very brief, con taining only a slight reference to the matters which are likely to come up for consideration. On returning to the house the members held a short session and adjourned until Monday. The Canadian parliament will have some weighty questions to deal with this year, one of the principal of them being the Manitoba school difficulty. It was on this question that the present Liberal government was successful, and since they have failed to meet their obligations in the matter, it is doubtful if they can remain in power. The Klondike will also come in for a share of legislation. The government has already let a con tract for the building of a railroad In that region, which requires only the approval of parliament to become valid. The chambers of both houses here are modelled after those in the British par liament. There is a government and an opposition sido to each house. One of the fixtures of the parliament is the mace, which is taken care of by the sergeant-at-arms. When it rests on tho table before the speaker's desk, business may go on, but when it is reiuovod all business stops and nothing can be trans acted until it is returned. If it pleases your readers I may tell you more about Canada and its govern ment before the winter is over. MoT. STAT* OF Onio, CITY OF TOLEDO, ) LUCAS COUNTY, F FRANK J .
