One cannot afford to spend any time in New York City and not see the Met ropolitan Museum, in which is found everything in art and curios from ev ery nook and corner of the world. Par ticularly for the last few years hav the eyes of the world been turned to ward this great museum since the great collection of J. Pierpont Morgiu. has been placed on exhibition. Mr. Morgan loaned these wonderful paint ings, furniture of every kind and every hirwr in curios with the understand ing that a new wing should be built to the museum in wnicn an 01 un- tm lectivn could be housed. This addi tion has not been made and grave fears are now existing that the collec tion may be removed. The musical instruments in this collection impress ed mp. s did different styles of furn- ;-,, nnllwtpH from the different countries. In making the study, the wonderful amount of money, time and taste that these treasures repres ented, I was greatly pleased that Mr. Morgan had not neglected our own country his patriotism was shown in many ways. Many of the paintings were our own, such as Washington crossing the Delaware, etc.. Many of the women among our subscribers would have been especially interested in th collection of cutglass ware, sil ver and fancy work, all of which were qtfaint and beautiful. The silver is kept shining like new money all the time. There are guards on duty whose business it is to see tnat mere : iw harm done to anything. vt in Rise to the Morgan collec- inn is the Altman collection, which is made up more of pictures and statuarv, all beautiful beyond tie cr,nn The EsrvDtian mummy di vision was most interesting. The boxes or caskets in which they were buried were elaborately carvea wiui birds, beasts, lowers, foods and scenes. The mummies, in every shape and form, were on exhibition. An interesting section, too, wa where the armored men and horses were stationed. Germany's man of i, wm heavilv armored, also his i -, ti hall nf wulnture was full of every conceivable shape and size of human and animal.

One feature of the celebration is the annu al parade in which 15.000 sons ana daughters of St. Patrick took part. The streets along which the paraders marched were thronged with people. All of the marchers wore their colors nii curried Irish and American flags, One division of the parade which at tracted much attention was composed of 125 girls in white dresses wearing green sashes and carrying tne two flncs. The reviewing stand was at St. Patrick's cathedral, here Cardinal Farley, Mayor Mitchell and the city officials watched the parade. Follow- iner the narade. began the dinners. dances, banquets, etc., for the friends of Ireland. The following poem ap peared in the afternoon papers, which celebrated by printing on green paper was any need. ST. PATRICK'S DAY. "Vfrle universe is Irish, month of March, day seventeen, And . everybody's wearing just a lit tle bit of preen. Perhaps you hail from Lapland or the depths of Timbuctoo; But just the same you'll want to wear a bow of greenish hue. All honor to Old Erin and the pretty Irish maid. . The distionary of the land don't list the word afraid. The Shamrock is in evidence and good cheer is in style, And loyal sons pass in review for mile after mile. It sets your blood astirring and it sort of makes you feel You'd like to shake your pedals to a good, old. Irish reel. The joyful demonstration and the pa triotic cheer Is mingled with the hand clasp and the honest Irish ear. The band plays "Tipperary" see the luster to the eyes! They strike un old "Killarney" to the heartfelt sobs and sighs, But never have I witnessed such a patriotic scene. When Irishmen are marching to "The wearing or the Green." J. J. WHITE DEAD ONE OF RANDOLPH'S BEST CITIZENS PASSES KNOWN AWAY. James Julius White, boin Decem ber 27, 1842, died at his home in Trinity, Friday, March 26, after sev eral days of illness following a stroke of paralysis.

The funeral service in the old col cege chapel in Trinity bunday was attended by a thousand people, many visitors coming from a distance. Rev. E. N.

The interment was in. the Trinity cemetery and the burial services were in charge ot trinity Council No. 30 of the Junior Order U. A. M, and were extremely impressive with about a hundred members of the order n. line. The following resolution was adopt ed by the Junior Order at the regular meeting in Trinity Saturday night: Wheieas it was the will of Al mighty God, to take from earth into paradise the soul of J. J. White, who has long been a faithful member of Trinity Council No. 307 of the Junior Order Jf United American Mechanics, and whereas Brother White has show n by his whole life his belief and prac tice in the cardinal Drincinles of thii order Virtue, Liberty ami Patriotism and his life has at all times in pub!., and private been in the service of aim Canst. , . , Therefore be it Resolved, that the members of this Council express to the bereaved relatives our profound sympathy and sorrow, and that we as a body shall attend the funeral of the deceased brother ar.d perform the final ceremony at the interment of his mor tal remains, in the full faith and hope that his immort'.il soul has gone to it everlasting home with the God who made and lovcth alt.

Sunday is everybody's day in the citv and one is obliged to notice that there is very little consistency among the citizenship; for instance, within a stone's throw from Jith Ave. one finds the keepers of a cafe observing the Sabbath bv closing tlTc doors of their business while at the same dis tance in another direction, one of the theaters in advertising "Evelyn Nes bit Thaw as a special Sunday attrac tion' Sunday is the day for the world and his wife to be seen on the streets, walking or riding; and one does not fail to see the styles in all shapes and sizes. The people either are disregarding the styles and mak ing things both in millinery and rai ment, of their own choosing or mad am fashion has given a large list trom which to choose. There are hats and lothes of all kinds and prices; even the Woolworth and Kress 5 and iO cent stores are attempting dress and millinery stunts. Most of the hats are very small and give one a "Happy Hooligan" look. The coats are short shirts short and collars high. Shirts are wider too many of them being yards in width. As to styles for men. nothine- has seemed beyond the ordinary, but I am no criterion, would be glad to take observation if -there was anv need. "iild than should not I make investigation. HEED DANGER SIGNALS STORY OF YOUNG WOMAN WHO FAILED TO TAKE ACCOUNT OF FIRST SYMPTOMS OF TU BERCULOSIS. Samuel Hopkins Adams in Lr.dies Home Journal. ' Whv didn't we know in time?"Thc man whose sister lav dying of tuber culosis leaned across the table toward me, his hopeless young face lending a haggard force to the query. You are an expert on health mat ters. You write articles advising peo ple how to avoid disease. The anti tuberculosis societies and other organ izatioim like that, that you belong to, spend thousands of dollars yearly to educate the public. Why havent some of you told me and my sister what we needed to know? Why has my sister got to die?" It was an accusation leveled at our whole system of anti-tuberculosis cam paigning; an accusation pointed the tragic figures of two hundreu thousand Americans dead every year from a scourge which knowledge knowledge in time would have ena bled certainly more than half, proba bly more than three-fourths of them to escape. "Everything to live for," he contJh ued. "She had found her place, bbi work in the world, and was happy in it- She had a host of friends. What soever money could buy. within rea son, was hers for the asking. She was an athlete, an outdoor girl, lead inar the very life which, they tell Us, insures against tuberculosis, except for one short space of time, and be cause of that little while, because w lidn't understand the first danger sig nals. I've jfot to lose her. What a. you going to do about that, you ana your societies : I shook my head. "No: vou do.t't knew," he contin ued. "How many ether men's sisters and daughters ami wives in this coun try are going the same path, for the same reason, do you suppose?" "Hundreds of thousands perhaps. "Ypm! hundreds of thousands," ho repeated. "Doomed by ignorance. Oh, the mtv of it! And nothing to be dona about it. Yes. there's one thing you can do." His eyes lighted up with the tire that almost divine sorrow which thinks for others. "Tell then. about my sister. I've lost her; but perhaps 1 can help save some of the others.
