PASSING AWAY.

One by one, celebrated men are
dropping away. The central figures
of our late war are no exception to
the rule. One of the latest of these
retired from the living is Admiral
Franklin Buchanan, who command
ed the Confederate ram Merrimac
when she attacked and sank the U.
S. vessels in Hampton Roads, and
who likewise had charge of the Con-
federate naval forces when Farragut
assaulted Mobile. Buchanan was a
resident of Pennsylvania. In 1915
he entered the Government service
and won favorable distinction, be-
ing at the head of the Washington
nayy-yard when war broke out. On
the spur of the moment he resigned,
but afterward sought to be re-en-
stalled, without avail, whereon he
rendered his services to the rebel
cause At the close of the struggle
he returned to Maryland, was made
President of a college there, and
subsequently went south to engage
in the insurance business.

NEW MOVEMENT.

An important movement has be-
gun in Chicago-the shipment OF
grain direct from the lakes to Eu-
rope. On Wednesday two vessels
having only a capacity of A,0OO
bushels each, but as large as could
navigate the restricted waterway,
started out, and it is supposed that
others will follow. Coastwise bust
ness has been very dull upon
the lakes this year and the freight
rates are what owners call ruinOus,
ly low. Shippers, however, are will
ling to pay from 80 to "a cents in
gold for carrying wheat from Chica-
go to Cork, Ireland, which to a
moderate-size lake schooner repre-
sents a profit Of about 81, 900 on the
trip,if it is made without loss. A
number of leading Chicago mer.
chants profess themselves confident
ofthe entire success of the expert

THE DELEGATE FROM UTAH.

The House of Representatives has
a good chance to show what it thinks
ofpolygamy Delegate Cannon, OF
Utah, is the happy husband of four
wives. His seat was contested by
Mr.. Maxwell, who did not SO much
pretend that he was elected as that
Cannon was apolygamist, and, there
fore, unfit to sit with representatives
in Congress. Inquiry into the facts
resulted in the opinion that Cannon
is legally entitled to the seat. The
House then proposed to look into
the moral conduct of Delegate Can
non, but some of the members (who
had also friends in the Senate J
thought it would not be pleasant to
continue the inquiry. The conclu-
sion of the whole matter is that
Cannon gets his seat, and the House
will think about his polygamous
connections.

outragd was that recently commit
ted on Mr.. John Mager, Her Britain

for no other reason than that Ma
ger could not appear before him

the Vice Consul was stripped and

was meted out to the offender by
shooting him as he was endeavor'
ing to escape on board ship. Eng

A MARRIED woMAN's LAW.
How the Sweet Creatures Take Advan-
taqe Of It.

In 1870 theBritish Parliament pass
ed a bill called the married Wo-
mems Property Act" and this law
provided that every woman who mar
ried after 1870 should retain all her
personal property possessed before
marriage or acquired after marriage
free from the debts or control OF her
husband. and that the husband
should not be responsible for the
debts of the wife before marriage
There are plenty of smart women in
England, and these soon saw what
advantage this new law gave them.
They might purchase any amount of
personal property-dresses, jewels,
merchandise ofany kind-on credit;
get married next week and then snap
their creditors, who could proceed
at law against neither the husband
nor the wife. This little game was
carried on to such an extent that the
other day, at the instance of the suf-
fering shop-keepers, bill for the
amendment of the law was lntroduc-
ed in the House of Commons by
Mr.. Samuel Morley. He gave a
number of illustrations of the hard
ships inflicted on traders by women
who took advantage of the existing
law. A lady, he said, purchased a
piano of manufacturer. agreeing
to pay for it in eight quarterly pay
ments. She made good three or
four of these payments, and then
married, and the property in the
piano passed to the husband, and he
refused to pay the instalments due
by the wife. She by her marriage,
was free from the debt land the hus
band was not liable either. Anoth-
er case was brought before Lord
Cairns. A lady had lent f100 to 8
female friend. She married and al.
most Immediately afterwards repu
dated the debt. The husband de-
MED any liability, and there was nc
remedy. The bill now proposed
would make the husband liable fol
the debts of his wife, to the sxtent
of the property he had acquired by
his marriage. The bill passed iti
second reading without opposition
and no doubt will become a law
But one may wonder why all thi'
was not foreseen when the first bill
was passed. There seems to be slip
shod legislation at Westminster a
well as at Washington. f.l.

THE HONEY CROP.

There are two million beehives
in the United States. Every hive
yields on an averages little over
twenty-five pounds of honey. The
average price at which honey is sold
is twenty-five cents a pound; so that,
after paying their own board, the
bees present us with a revenue Of
$S,S0o,000. To reckon, it another
way, they make a clear gift of over
apound of pure honey..to every man
woman, and child in the United
States. Over twenty-three and one
third million pounds of wax are
made and given to us by these in
dustrious workers. The keeping
ofbees is one of the most profitable
investments that our people can
make of their money. The profits
arising from the sale of surplus hon
ey averages from fifty to two hun
dred per cent on the capital invest

REJECTED.

The Massachusetts Senate reject
ed the claims of the advocates of
the inherent rights of women to
cast a ballot, by vote of IA to 10.
This is worse for the cause than the
vote of last year. At the present
rate Of progress of the persevering
sisterhood the question of woman's
wrongs and woman's suffrage will
be entirely forgotten in Massachu-
sets in few years. 1t is certainly
very discouraging to the loyal wres-
tiers with perverse generation.

EUROPEAN CROPS.

The latest crop reports from Eu-
rope are not favorable, and only the
most propitious weather can, it is
said, preserve certain districts from
partial failure. Should a second
poor harvest follow this year, it will
be difficult to overestiinate the dis
aster which must ensue. Abundant
crops here, in conjunction with the
active demand from Europe for our
varied products, have played a much
more important part than is gener-
ally supposed in counteracting the
effects of last years panic upon the
commercial system of the country.

UNFORTUNATE ITALIAN CHILDREN.

The protection of the unfortunate
Italian children who were compelled
to become itlnerant beggars by the
"padrones'' who have bonght their
services, is being secured by the
passage of laws in several of the
State Legislatures. Such a mea-
sure has just been adopted in New
York, and the italian Consul Gener-
al in that city, to put it into effec-
tive operation, has suggested plan
to the Police Commissioners, which
they have adopted. The police are
to be instructed to arrest all Italian
children under sixteen years of age
who are found in the streets beg
ging, dancing or playing on music
al instruments for gain; and upon
their arrest they are to be taken be-
fore the Consul General, who will
examine them IN their own language,
having their depositions subsequent
ly translated. They are then to be
detained for reasonable period,
the Consul General paying their
board, so as to give opportunity for
their relations or others interested
to claim them. If any one appears
as their master (padrone), the Con-
sui General will prosecute him for a
misdemeanor under the laws of New
York; and if the children are not
claimed, the Consul General will
send them back to Italy. This plan
will be put into operation in a few
days, and it is expected that by the
close of the year it will effectually
rid New York of these professional
mendicants, whose education, at
present, is too sure to add them to
the swelling ranks of the danger
Gus classes" The Consul General, in
a letter to the Police Commission
ers. writes his hope that, sin few
months Italians will be spared the
sorrow of children belonging to their
nation made professional mendic-
ants. The Ledger says that a bill
of the same general nature is pend
ing somewhere in the Pennsylvania

A DISASTROUS FLOOD.

A large reservoir about four miles
north of Haydenville, Mass, burst
about 8 o'clock Saturday morning,
and the water went rushing down
the hill carrying everything before
them. The food struck the south
eastern portion of Williamsburgh
two miles below, carrying away a
large number of houses. 1t swept
on to Skinnersville, where it carried
away Silk Mills, and other houses.
Continuing in its course, it struck
large Brass Manufactury, sweep
ing it away ia an instant. Large
stones and machinery were swept
through the street at fearful rate,
and well built houses were instant
ly crushed, not giving the inmates
a moments warning. The flood
next caught the village of Leeds,
where a large number of shops.
dwellings DC. were carried away.
! Up among the hills of Goshen
there was a large reservoir of about
104 acres in extent, where the va
rious mill operators of Williams
burg, Skinnersyille, Haydenville,
and Leeds were wont to store their
summer supply of water. People
living in the vicinity of the dam
say that it has been leaking more
or less for several weeks, and it is
believed that having thus gradually
undermined the dam, the water gave
way, and the immense body of wa
ter poured out in its strength. car

ADLER WANTS A PENSION.

Congress has received a petition
from certain men who fought the
Indians in Tennessee in the early
part of this century, asking that they
shall be pensioned like the veterans
of the war of 1912, If this request
is granted we shall demand that the
militia who defended Pennsylvania
in 1868 shall also be pensiond. We
were one of those militiamen, and
no man will ever know what We suf-
fered for our country. We would
be lying in camp gorged with bacon
and hard-tack, and feeling as if we
never wanted TO move, when sud
denly the enemy would be discover
ed to be within twenty miles of us
and we would have to get up and
leave and hurry off toward home.
Then when the enemy retreated we
would come back again with our
feet wet, and our nervous system in
Ijured by fright, and just as we got
full of rations again some ridiculous
officer would prance up and begin
to drill us until our legs ached and
our trousers were covered with mud.
Every time gun went off in the
neighborhood we were scared nearly
to death, and once when the enemy
actually surprised us, several or our
men started for Hudsons Bay, and
hurried so to reach their destina-
tion that they didn't stop for food,
and remained hungry for three or
four hours at time. Then imagine
what we suffered from our muskets
Whenever one OF them was acciden-
tally discharged it kicked the hold
er thirty or forty yards in the rear,
and ended by dropping on his corns.
There were few who retreated SO
swiftly and SO often, and came back
with such painful slowness. And
not one of us shed drop of the enc
my's blood. We are opposed to
this sanguary method of conducting
war, and we tried to set the foe a
good example in this respect. 1t
didn't seem to Cypress them much
though. But now we want pen
sion. We want a pension so that
we can save up the money and buy
a substitute who will go and die for
us in the next war. 1t Is sweet for
a substitute to die for ones own
country much sweeter than for one
to die for it himself.

ing under the cars the narrow gauge
trucks ofthe o. & NJ. Railway, which
will be done with only six minutes
detention of passengers, enabling
the line to run through coaches to

ming Sunday, May oath, the Palace
Broad Gauge Sleeping Coaches of
the Erie and Atlantic & Great West
ern Railways will be run through
to st. Louis without change. These
coaches will be run on Train No. 3.
This will enable passengers from all

one change to Kansas City, St. Jo-
seph, Leavenworth, Omaha, and
principal points in the far West.
All trains on the o. Il NJ. Railway
run daily, SO that passengers are
not obliged to lay over on account
Of Sundays intervening. This ar-
