The Rochester. IN. " Union says:
'It is sometimes questioned by
merchants whether advertising pays.
The question will hardly bear dis
cussion in the light of the follow
ing facts, rates for transient adver-
tisements being figured: The Chi
cage Tribune, it is said, for a col
umn year receives $4,000; the
New York Herald receives for its
lowest priced column $50, 723, and
for the highest So 1900; the New
York Tribune for its lowest $780,
764, for its highest $50, 64S, and
these papers are never at a loss for
advertisements to fill their columns.
Their patronage comes not from
any desire to assist the respective
papers, but from the business men
who find it profitable to ADVERTISE"
In 1876 more than one half of the
manageable women in England
and Wales were spinsters. In 1850
five of our Eastern and Middle
States had an excess Of males, and
four an excess Of females, ranging
from l per cent to Z per cent. In
1880 only two Of these States showed
all excess of females all the others
a marked increase of females. In
1860 every one of the Eastern and
Middle States had an excess of
women, the excess in Massachusetts
and Rhode Island exceeding the
ratio of England and Wales.

Four MarrIaaes % rwo Wo mem.

Exceptions have been taken to the
findings of Justice Gilbert In the case of
Edward ID. Moore, three year. old in
fant son of the late Austin d. Moore,
against Joseph Hegeman, executor, by
the other heirs of Austin d. Moore,
namely, Gerard M. Lyon, Bernard G.
Lyon, and Mary e. Lyon, who claim
that the infant was product of an un-
lawful marriage between Austin d.
Moore and Carrie Maynard, in New Jer-
sey, while Elizabeth Rowe Moore, from
whom he had been divorced, and during
whose lifetime he was forbidden to marry
was still living. Justice Gilbert at first
adopted this view, and decided that the
child was illegltimate, but when the
Court of Appeals decided that marriage,
which was legal where it was performedy
was legal in this State, the Justice con-
formed his decision to that. The heirs,
it is believed, will appeal.
Austin d. Moore was married four
times to two women. After he was di-
vorced from his first wife he remarked
her, and she had the second marriage
annulled. Then he married Carrie May
nard in New Jersey, and after the death
of his first wife, his son having been
born In the meantime, he married her
second time. He had property valued at
100000, which was held in trust by his
fathers executor. In his lifetime he
spent the interest and tried in vain to
get the principal. l.-NeaU York Sun.

A Mysterious Baby.


Shortly after nine o'clock on Monday
night rap at the door of Uriah Gar
mans residence on Pennsylvania ave-
nue., was answered by Mr.. Garman's
mother. On opening the door Mrs.
Garman was confronted by lady in
black. The woman had "a baby in her
arms, and thrusting it into Mrs, Gar
mans arms together with bottle and
other articles that accompany such
household adornment, she said: "Take
it-I am going now." The lady in black
then jumped into an omnibus in waiting
and was driven to the depot, where she
left on late train. The household of
the Garmans was mystiied, but the
"cherub," a healthy boy about three
months old, is properly cared for. The
mysterious woman is described as being
small of stature, well dressed and in deep
mourning. While at the house she threw
her vail back, revealing an attractive
and pretty face. She appeared to be a
woman about thirty years of age, or
perhaps younger. Harrisburg Pa'riot

storr's Opinion Of Gulteau.

Hon. Emory Storrs, who returned to
Chicago from Washington on Monday,
thinks Guiteau's course and general
drift of the evidence will be sufficient to
convince the Jury that he knows the
difference between right and wrong, and
that at the time when he shot the Presi-
dent be was not acting from any irresist-
able impulse. AS to Judge Cox's con-
duct of the trial, Mr.. Storrs thinks the
Judge has determined to give the pris.
oner the largest latitude, so that there
could be no error in the record of the
proceedings.

Why a Woman Changed Her Mind.

Mrs. Marter was deserted by her hus-
band three years ago. He went to Hall
fax and practised dentistry. She lived
in Boston, in straitened circumstances,
until the recent death of an uncle made
her very rich. Then she thought that,
with SO much money as an attraction,
she might reclaim her husband, whom
she had not ceased tolove. But first she
went secretly to Halifax, and there
watched him. She found that he was in
love with girl employed in his office,
and was wholly untrue to his wife.
Therefore, instead of enriching, she is
prosecuting him.

Messrs. Thayer, Merriam & Co., T31 Arch
street, have just published "Wheeler's Ana
lysis of the Bibe-beng q summary of Old
and New Testament history" The book is
octave, printed In clear type, on white water
marked paper, with wide margins for annota-
tions, and Is bound in good style with orna-
mented cover. The contents Of the book range
from chronological to exegetical. In concise
wording 1t first tells the boundaries, the pro-
gress, the politics of the Jewish nation and Its
neighbors then taking up the Bible books, in
their Bible order, the laws, the customs, the
governments of the chosen people are epitom-
ized in short paragraphs events are related
side by side with contemporaneous events
synchronous-so that there Is a constant temp
tation in this new light of contemporary histo-
ry to read afresh the exact Bible text of what
occurred and save the episode of Ruth, and
the glossary of the poetlcal books of the Old
Testament, this continuous narrative is main
tained throughout the volume. Where the last
prophecy ends, the historical account still goes
along as told by Josephus and Others until the
New Testament times come. In the New Tes-
lament analysis this harmony of arrangement
is very strongly presented. From the birth of
our Lord throughout His life as He goes from
place to place the analysis follows Him.
Treated in this way the sermons and Journey
ings of the Saviour acquire peculiar interest.
Re-read In this light the Sermon on the Mount
becomes clear as the perfect law of spiritual
living the table-talk on the night of Betrayal
an encompassing assurance of security. AS
He passes from city to city we catch glimpses
Of his unresting zeal always going, going
teaching and healing. The Apostolic dongs
and epistles are In like manner invested with
fresh beauty. Yet this easy, connected state
ment Is but one of the books charms. The
foot-notes on subjects of interest are abundant,
and present the latest researches and discoy-
cries In Bible lands; manifold Illustrations IL
Illuminate the text, oitentimes wildly exami-
nation questions which, thoroughly mastered,
would thoroughly ground student in all mat
ters of Old Testament lore tables of chro-
nology and, lastly, an appendix of which
every page is a surprising mine of knowledge.
The book is one of value to every Bible stu
dent; has this exceeding worth-that by ar
ranging continuously the facts of the Bible,
the thread of story which began at Edon and
ended with the vision Of Patmos Isle, is un-
broken in its telling.
Attention is called TO the advertisement in
another column, and would say that no better
book can be put In the hands of young or old.
