Ex-Secretary Robson has been ''vindicated,' y
so far, at least, as the action OF Congress.
stonal nominating convention can be consid-
cred disinfecting agency. Now if he can
only secure his election the jolly extar will re-
turn to Washington with such a bill of health
from his sailing port as all the quarantine reg
ulati0ns of Congress cannot prevail against.

1t is apparent. from an examination of
papers since submitted, that the publication
In The STAR few days ago to the effect that
the proprietor Of the Warm Springs had gone
into bankruptcy was erroneous, and did in.
1ustice-though, Of course, unintentionally,-
to that gentleman and place. 1t is proper to
say that the error grew out of a blunder in a
bankruptcy notice sent to this Office by the
U. 8. Marshal Of Virginia, and not from any
desire here to misrepresent, since THE STAR
did not know the person referred to, even by
name, and therefore could have entertained
no unfriendly feeling toward him.
This correction is cheerfully made, in JUS
tice to all concerned, and in spite of the ridic-
ulOus vaporing OF the miserable fellow who
projects himself into the matter under the
name OF "Smythe," and whose mere presence
at respectable watering place is, by the way,
Tar more likely to injure it than anything the
newspapers could say about il.

1t has been happily suggested that the treas.
ury printing press is the only press which is
free in Turkey The country is swamped
with deprecated currency, and the bakers
refuse to take Ii for their bread. Some Of our
western farmers who are shipping such enor-
nous quantities of grain eastward, and who
think that Turkish activity Of our treasury
presses would be desirable thing, should take
warning by the bakers Of Constantinople. 1t
is to be hoped that the time will never come
when the wOrkingman of this country, like
his brethren in Turkey, will refuse to produce
more than he can himself consume because
the national medium Of exchange Is a worth
less one.

With the notice 80 plainly and publicly given
in advance by Cohen as to what his plans and
purposes are, the District OF Columbia would
have a pretty bill Of damages to pay in the
event that any injury should be done to per-
son or property through mob violence. In the
face Of what has already occurred, neither the
local nor national authorities could plead any
excuse whatever for allowing even the slight
est breach of the peace on the part Of him and
his deluded followers

A committee of the New York board of
aldermen has reported favorably upon the
scheme of introducing the Holly System of
steam heating into the city. Thus, this new
plan for furnishing heat to houses is pushed
forward for adoption, and the gas companies
continue cheerful and declare dividends, just
"a if the electric wire was not announced to
supersede them both by dispensing light and
heat at cheap rates to every household.

A "Reminiscences of Girard.

| Those men who have carved out tor
themselves great fortunes have, as rule,
been men of public spirit and great hearts,
not grasping at money merely TOR the
sake of sordid possession, but working
for the increase OF their store as the judi
cious mill-owner looks to his dams and
safety banks which are to gather and
hold in store the waters that must give
power to run his machinery. When you
hear of the littleness or RIGHTEOUSNESS OF
such men, be sure the story comes from
some importunate beggar, whose business
it was to bore and intlict. In this coun-
try of ours the one curse attending the
possession of wealth-and bitter curse
it must be to a true hearted, sensitive
man-is the swarming in of the pestifer-
Gus leeches, whose wants are as manifold
and hollow as their pleas are impudent
and brazen. Our men of wealth i'll
America are, as class, liberal; they give
in their own way, and at their own pleas
ure, and be sure they give generously,
their left hand very often knowing not
what the right hand doeth.
In conversation with an old Philadel-
phia merchant, not long since, be told me
of the interest which he took, when a
young man, in the improvement of the
Schuylkill river for navigation. His
father was one of the river Navigating
Company, and had to do with the work.
After proceeding until it was demon
strated that the undertaking, if carried
out, would be blessing to the whole
region round about, as we'll as to the
city of Philadelphia, the managers made
a careful estimate of the further cost, as
there were TO be more dams and locks
than had been at first apprehended. They
wanted two hundred thousand dollars
more, and opened their books for sub
scriptiops. This was somewhere about
1920 or 81.
Stephen Girard was waited upon, and
told the messengers that he would see
them at their office when the gentlemen
Interested were all present. 1t happened
on the evening of the following day.
Girard heard the various reports, and
then took the book and put down his
name for one hundred shares of the stock.
There, gentlemen" he said; snow
propose that we finish the business here,
and now. Make up what you can among
yourselves, and will do the rest"
They did what they could, and fifty
six thousand dollars remained, for which
Mr.. Grard drew his check then and
there.
1t was like the man, and it may be
depended upon rs the narration of a
simple facts. c., Jr., in ". Y. Ledger.

Mediumistic Frauds.

Warrants have been sworn out for the
arrest of DR.. f. a. Huntoon, his wife,
Mrs. Kittie Huntoon, and +. j. Wither-
ford. The trio are spiritual mediums
and came from Chicago. They had been
operating here with remarkable success
until couple of evenings ago. AT the
close of the seaDce a selt-apponted COM
mittee took possession of the cabinet aud
announced their intention to make
thorough investigation. The box was
occupied by Witherford, the Huntoons
acting us assistants. The gas was turned
on by the committee and off by the
Huntoons two or three times, and the
thirty or forty people in the room had
a lively scramble. Finally, all the women
were put out, and the male Huntoon
disappeared. The gas was turned up
and Witherford was stripped. A dimin-
utive bundle was found containing Il
piece of white gauze, piece OF black
cambria, and several other articles.
Waterford admitted that the gauze was
placed in front of him for a spirit robe.
White handkerchiefs were wrapped
around the head and arms to look like
grave clothes. The black cambria was
person. a broad, cravat-shaped bandage,
gray on one side AMI black on the other,
was held i'll the teeth to produce the eff
feet of whiskers. The exposure came
after long seance, in the course ofwhich
half the people in the room had rec
ognized dear departed friends. The
victimizcd swear to the warrants. The
charge is conspiracy to defraud.
Witherford claims to be good medium,
and said the music was all produced by
spirit influence, but that the material
manifestations of faces were fraudulent.

ure9n-and with that he flirted some wa
ter toward the bear with his oar, and the
old fellow came near tipping the boat
over, he was so hopping mad. The
hunter with the gun was afraid he would
get into the water aud he lost and so he
took aim and fired a ball into the bear s
head right back of his ear, and another
right between his eyes, and killed him
dead. And then they flowed him ashore,
and took off his skin for an overcoat, and
hung up the meat to cut off steaks from.
And this is the first time | ever knew
boat to be used as u bear trap, though
they often serve AS traps for men and
boys who don't know how to sail or row.

DURING the trial of the celebrated
Leavenworth baby case, in which two
women claimed the same child, one of
the lawyers in the course of his remarks
pointed to the painting of Solomon, or
dering the child to be severed in halves
and divided between the two women.
His Scripturul knowledge being small,
he alluded 20 PLATE instead Of Solomon.
The opposing counsel instantly jumped
to his feet aud called him fool, and
sad that the order was by Caesar, and
not by PLATE. After heated discussion,
they agreed to leave it to the Judge. His
honor decided that both of the attorneys
were talking upon IA subject foreign to
their knowledge, and pointing to the
painting, said it was intended 10 repre-
sent Herod, and not Plate or Caesar. The
lawyers considered the matter settled,
and proceeded with the case.

LIABILITY FOR CHILDRENs ACTs.-
Now let the nervous mothers take u long
breath. An English court has decided
that woman is not responsible for the
mischief done by her child. A lady took
her little boy into picture store, in
Scarborough, and lost sight OF him for a
few minutes. The urcbin, after the man
ner of his kind, amused himself by pull
ing down Il valuable painting and put
ting the back of chair through the
canvas. The picture dealer brought suit
for damages, contendiDg that the mother
had not exercised proper care over the
boy, but had allowed him to go skr-
mishing about the room. The Judge
decided that there had been no contrib
utory negligence on the part of the
mother, and that there was no law by
which parents could be held liable for
the faults of their children. This ruling
was confidently expected by the defence,
for the Judge had rendered an analogous
decision IN top case. A boy had
thrown a top against u show window
and broke the glass, but the shopkecper
who sued the father OF the architect of
the ruin had been non-suited.
