Homes of Newspaper Men.

Hastings is now about 60 and lives in
handsome style in the Fifth-avenue,
which has become noted abode of edi-
tors. Manton Marble has a mansion
there, and near by is the Bennett resi-
dence. which is now in the care of a
housekeeper. Those of our principal
editors who. do not live in the Fifth-ave-
nue. have fine residences elsewhere.
Erastus Brooks has beautiful home on
Staten Island. Bryant's summer resi-
dence is Roslyn. Nordhaff lives in an
airy cottage on the summit Of the Pali-
sades. Bowen has country seat at
Woodstock, and other men of the pro
fession are equally well conditioned.
Jones of the Times, is the richest of our
journalists living in the city. He is a
close business man, and Notwithstanding
his wealth, lives in rather a plain, though
elegant style. None of the leading jour
nalists lived in as simple 81 manner as
Greeley. Bennett, however, though at
one time DESTROYS of q social position
and therefore disposed to give entertain

abstinent turn. His physical condition
was such as to require close regimen,
and he avoided the use Of wine and
other stlmulants

The Pacific Railroad Debt.

Insted of scheming to grab $40, 100000
or $50,000,000 from the United States
Treasury to turn over to Texas-Pacific
spectators, congress should give its
earnest attention to devising means
whereby the Pacific railroads which
have already been constructed out of
pubic moneys shall be compelled to pay
the interest on the bonds advanced to
them. These roads are about SOS, OOO,-
900 in arrears on government interest,
and have made no provision whatever
for iquidating the government indebt-
edness of 1914, 00O,0 900, advanced to them,
though thirteen years have elapsed
since the creation Of the Indebtedness.
If permitted to go on in the future with
the same reckless disregard of the law
as in the past, and computing the pay
ments made by government on their
account at compound interest, they will
have distracted about $3.50, 900, 900 from
the public funds at the end Of the thirty,
year. the period for which the govern
ment credit was loanedto them.-C Chic

A Curious Story Of Suddenly acquired
Mania for Whisky.

The Kansas City MO- Times of Wed
nesday has this curious story: "A sin
gular instance of the power of alcoholic
drink was brought publicly to notice
yesterday. A young gentleman, a jour
nalist, capitalist and Christian, is the
victim of suddenly acquired mania
which is quite remarkable. He went to
visit his former home last summer in
Cincinnati. On his way home to Kan
sas City he became sick, and, in the
absence of a doctor, went to the steam
boat bar and asked for and was given a
drink of whisky. The drink coming
upon system unaccustomed to it, Gre
ated an intoxication, which has been
perpetual ever since. 1t gave the young
man such a mania for strong drink that
nothing could restrain him in his ex-
cesses There was nothing about his
intoxication offensive to those who WIS.,
tied him. On the contrary, the brilliant
mind and inexhaustible fund of CONVEX
sation seemed to be renewed He knew
that he was surrendering himself to
drink and it's fascinating effects, but
paid no attention to the remonstrances
Of his friends. There was nothing vio-
lent III his excuses. he was calm. L0llQ
and genial; but he insisted on drinking
when he desired to drink, and he kept
on drinking. He had wife to whom
he was devoted; he idolized her and
made every provision for her comfort.
He was a member Of a church and in
good standing, good lawyer and a cho-
sen leader of the Young Mems Repub-
lican club. He owns large amount of
real estate, and was on the highway to
wealth and prosperity. He had never
taken a drop Of Intoxicating liquor in
his life before this drink taken on the
Ohio steamboat. Yesterday he was
taken East by his father and brother,
where restraint will be placed upon his
actions, in the hope that the brilliant
and cultivated mind may be saved from
this strange and fatal infatuation.

THE READING CASES.
Charges Made Against Jury--.Sen-
eences of the Bridge Burners.

! eoaAcCS w UiIC DIIUSp"DuTneFSo
A Philadelphia Times special of Oct.
-, from Reading, says: This morning
when the court convened there were
present some forty persons ready to be
put on trial for being concerned in the
riot of Monday, July 90. The court
house was completely TANNED with
people. The jurors in these cases were
sworn about ten days ago, but no evil
dence has as yet been before them.
When everything was III readiness to
proceed District Attorney Reber made
motion that the jury be DISCHARGED
for the reason that he had found that
two Of the jurors-William Green and
Sherman Miller--Were biased against
the Commonwealth, and that no fair
trial could be had. Counsel for the de
Tense objected to this, but after some
evidence was admitted which went to
| show the correctness of Mr.. Reber, the
court discharged hejury 1t was shown
that Green, one of the jurors, had
clapped his hands and made other de-
monstrations of approval of a speech
made by }. III. Jacobs before the jury
last week in defense of the rioters, and
that Sherman Miller had expressed
himself very freely in reference to the
trial OF last week, saying that he would
not convict any one on such evidence
MI. Baer was very severe on the jury Of
last week. He said their verdict was
unjust, and that it. justified riot and was
a" disgrace to Berks county Justice
He also said one of the counsel for the
defense held one of the jurymen under
his tlnger because the attorney was On
his bond for large sum of money, and
that the juryman was indebted to him
for his daily bread. Mr.. Jacobs went
Tor MIR. Baer In return very sayagely,
when the Judge stopped the argument
ny his order discharging the jury. After
these evidences were gone through with.
Judge Sassaman called Edward Smith
and Samuel HUMPHREYS, the confessed
brldge-burners, before him for sentence.
Senator Ermentrout made plea for
mercy In their behalf The Judge, in
sentencing them, said, among other
things: The first disposition of the
Court would be to impose the full SEN
tence Of the law on you, which would
be fine of $1,000 and ten years i'm
prisonment, but this will not be done
for several reasons AS soon as you
were in the hands Of the law YOU sub
mitted.to the law and the Court, and I
90 not believe you were the instigators
III this case. Your sentence is to pay a
fine of one thousand dollars and the
costs, and undergo an Imprisonment of
five years, in solitary confinement, at
hard labor"

AFFAIRS are growing more serious on
the Mexican frontier, and the governor
of Texas has addressed a long commu-
nication to the Washington government
recitine the outrages committed upon
Texans, and calling upon the govern
ment for protection. This trouble IS
evidently not that of the Mexican gov
eminent, but on the contrary, 1t Is that
of border ruffians, who murder and pill
lage indiscriminately on both sides of
the Rio Grande. Such a condition of
things complexities matters badly, as the
only redress to be had, for these raids
upon Texas citizens, by the Washington
government, is through the Diaz govern
ment, which would prevent the out
RACES if it possessed the power. But the
federal government cannot remain IN
different to the call of State for pro-
lection, because the invaders are out
laws and are probably encouraged IN
their work by adventures and specu-
lators who desire a war between the two
nations on account of the opportunities
it affords for jobs; it, however: places
the government In very difficult place
TO determine the best course to pursue.

DISCOVERY OF CRIME.
A Murdered Musicians Watch Found In
the Ruins of the Brooklyn Theatre.
New York Special, Goth

A discovery that was made to-day IN
dicates that among the many victims Of
the Brooklyn theatre fire last winter was
b murderer, whom the police have for
years vainly sought. In clearing out
the remaining rubbish of the theatre
recently, the workmen found two silver
watches and a ring, which were turned
over to the police property clerk. To
day one of the watches was identified
as the property of Professor Panormo,
the Brooklyn music teacher, who was
murdered four years ago by some young
rutfians, who .waylaid him as he was re-
turning from giving a music lesson. He
was knocked down in Park avenue, near
Oxford street, within a few feet of
brilliantly lighted drug store, beaten
until he was senseless, and then robbed
of his watch and money. When he re-
covered himself he made MS way to a.
car, and reached the clearinghouse of
Mrs. Snow, on Pineapple street, where
he died the next day. Mrs. Snow,
who was for many years Panormo's
landlady, identifies the watch as his. A
friend of the professor also Identifies 1t.
The case baffled the best efforts OF
the Brooklyn police, and though it was
known that a number Of men were con-
cerned in the murder, 10 clue was ever
obtained to the identity of any of
them.

WHILE the bounteous harvest that
has been garnered has greatly relieved
many people, it may as well be con-
coded that the commercial interests OF
the country are yet in a very depressed
condition. Heavy failures are occur
ring in almost every quarter, and bust
ness has not received that. stimulus
that was predicted owing to the war IN
Europe and the good crops. The num-
Der of failures and the aggregate liabil-
tiles are something amazing; and sales
men in stores and shops who expected
to be very busy at this season of the
year have but few customers, and these
deal most sparingly. New York and
other eastern cites, which expected to
do very large business during the fall,
are complaining about the light trade.
1t is evident now that neither the
Russio-Turkish war, nor the good crops,
nor both will give to the business of
the country the activity of which the
prophets told us. Hard-times did not
come in a day and will not depart in a
day. The people have slowly but
surely learned the ways of economy,
and plenty of money and plenty of
great speculations will not return at
once. Men have grown prudent and
careful. They are making haste slow
ly. It is not improbable that there is
some unnecessary caution practiced
by business men; but it is not the great
est calamity after all. The best times
are those when business enterprises are
kept at point within the demands of
the country. 1t is also very probable
that the present dizziness of trade is due
in great measure to the strict habits
of economy being enforced In nearly
every family and community, and III
that case it is at all events healthy
condition for the country. 1t is true
that it is much easier to buy too much
than too little, but it is not impossible
to buy too little. The present dullness
of trade can most likely be accounted
for in the strict economy of most peo-
pie and in the oautiea-of business men
about business ventures. In this view
OF the present depression, we may
safely conclue that substantial good
times will come very soon.

Washington Talk.
A FLOOD OF PETITIONS.

Special kilograms from Washington
Of Oct. 26th state that at the close of the
debate On the Colorado case to-day in
the house a perfect deluge of petitions
was sent to the clerks desk. Among
them was a lengthy petition, presented
by Mr.. Garfield, from two hundred and
ten colored men asking for assistance
to enable them to embark to Liberia.
This petition recited the condition to
which the colored man had been reduced
in this country by his long servitude,
and the disadvantages to which he had
since been subjected, especially in COM
petition with laboring white man, and
the advantages to be derived in Liberia,
where the competition would be con-
fined to his own race After the read
ing of this lengthy document
SAM COX SAID
that he now had petition to offer on
behalf of the poor white laborer, and
accordingly protest and petition, which
he alleged to be from large number
of mechanics and laborers, were sent to
the clerks desk to be read. These
documents set forth that the signers
protested first, most energetically against
the unjust discrimination made by the
laws of the United States in fixing the
compensation of the clerks in the DIFF
ferent departments Of the government,
leaving that of mechanics and laborers
to be established, as the whim of indi-
vjduals might dictate; second, against
the assumption of authority on the
part Of the heads of the executive de-
partments under which the clerks OF
the government are worked seven hours
a day and -
MECHANICS AND LABORERS
ten hours day; third, that it is unjust
that government employees are allowed
leaves Of absence with pay when absent
because of illness, when another branch
of industry is deprived of like privileges.
The petition asked that all classes of
employees in the civil service be sub

cruit and reinforce Mukhtar's army, and
troops are leaving Constantinople daily
