THE MOREY LETTER.
The Prosecution Against Philip Aban-
dOned.

New YORK. April Lit is now stated
that one phase of the celebrated Morey
letter will be definitely disposed of, and
it seems probable that the whole subject
will be dropped. Assistant District At
torray Bell, who has conducted the case
since its commencement, is now salts
fed sat the letter was not written in the
Office of the paper in which it was first
published. Mr.. Bell stated yesterday that
the proprietors and editors of Truth had
proved that fact to his complete satisfac-
tion and had endeavored by every means
in their power to find clue TO the real per-
petat or of the forged letter. The pro-
ceedings which were begun against
Kepward Philip and the publisher of
Truth for criminal libel in writing an
article entirled Lying and sticking to
It," will therefore be abandoned and the
District Attorneys Office will enter a
nolle prosequi, thus quashing the indict-
ments and releasing the bondsmen from
their liability. The witness O'Brien,
alias Lindsay, who was brought from
Mary yland and who swore that he had
seen HI. L. Morey, to whom the famous
document was said to have been written
by Garfield, is now confined in the
Iombs, having pleaded guilty to the in
dictment for prejury found against him.
Henry L. Morey, of Lynn, Massachu-
setts, who testified that he was the
uncle of the man to whom it was alleged
Garfield wrote the letter, and that his
nephew was a member of the Employers
Union. and that he had seen the suppos-
ed letter in his possession, and who con-
fessed his story to be an Infamous lie, is
at present contind in the House of Deten-
tion. Assistant District Attorney Bell
states that the cases of both will be dis
posed of in the General Sessions in few
days.
Morey, who assisted the authorities
greatly and who has confessed his guilt,
will be released Internationally. O'Brien.
who has admitted his prejury, will be
arraigned and sent to States Prison for a
term of years.
Chairman Jewell, who collected some
money ostensibly for the purpose of trac-
ing the author of the letter seems to
have abandoned the search. 1t is prob
able that nothing more will be done
about it.

A young lady of Little Rock, Arkansas,
whose womanly qualities had made her
the mark of much attention from gentle
men, to one of whom she had plighted
ner troth, had her hair turn from a
glossy brown to white. This evidence
of poignant grief was caused by the base
action of her lover He was young
man moving in Little Rocks highest
social circles short time since, but now
married and living in another part of the
Union. She did not suspect that he had
been unworthy of her confidence. One
evening last week she picked up paper
from the city in which her lover was
visiting, and one of the first things that
struck her eye was the description of u
brilliant wedding in fashionable church.
She saw her lovers name figuring as that
of the bridegroom. During the whole
night she lay in a stupor. The next
morning one side of her head was white
as snow, and so it remains

The destruction of timber is something

The destruction of timber is something
as appalling as it is enormous. At the
annual meeting of the LumberInan S Ex-
change in Chicago few days ago, G. c..
Thompson, Vice President of the Ex-
change, stated it had been estimated
that the increased demand in the pro.
duction of lumber since 1860 has been at
the rate of not less than so per cent. for
every five years. "Should this increase
continue" he says, II calculate that our
forests must suffer annihilation within
the next twenty years..

A NEW DISCOVERY!
Spiritualism Explained.

The question of questions,
with the learned and unlearned,
the materialist, scientist, re-
ligionists, and in fact every
body, is "What is Modern
Spiritualism?" Is it a verify or
is it all a llumbug? Can it be
explained from a physiological
standpoint and does it come
under the head of Physics, or
does it come from supernatural
causes and without laws or or
der. That the phenomena ex.
ists,' is beyond dispute, whether
it will ever be explained re-
mains to be seen. That some
spirits can be seen, handled
and made use of to good ad-
vantage as we'll as explained is
also a tact to which all drug
gists and chemists can testify.
They need not be named, be-
cause their name is legion.
We refer principally to those
medicines through which spirits
figure largely as restorative
agencies. Saur's Drug and
Medicine Depot harbors a large
number of healing spirits which
can be purchased for very
small sum otmoney and if used
according to directions will be
the means of relieving pain and
restoring the health of the al
hicted This same drug store
has many other things in which
it seeks to make itself useful
and to benefit mankind. The
book department furnishes the
provisions upon which hun
dreds of brains are fed and are
thus kept alive and active. The
large stock of elegant patterns
of wall and window paper is
another medicine by which
many homes is made warm and
comfortable. Then, too, comes
the many different colored
paints which ale not only a
great preservative agency, but
add to the beautiful as we'll,
tons of which is sold annually
and which gives employment to
thousands of people. This is a
branch of business IN which this
house also figures largely. Saur's
Drug and Book store seems to
be the depot or store house in
which everything is kept which
can be found in any drug and
book house, at prices which
everybody will acknowledge to
be very low.

A Prediction Verified Ony In Part.

Mahlon Dickerson was one of the most
distinguished public men and ablest
statesmen ever produced by the state of
New Jersey. He was a member of the
legislature, Judge of the Supreme Court,
Governor, United States Senator for six
teen years and afterwards Secretary of
the Navy in the cabinet of President
jackson. His foresight into the future
of the country must have been most re-
markable, as may plainly be discovered
reading an eXtrat from a speech delivered
bv him in the United States Senate in
1919, as follows;
Sir, the time may come when our
country will be filled with an army of
pensioners, always the frinds of arbitrary
power. The time will come when we
shall have numerous host of officers,
civil and military, i'll every department
of the Government, spread over our inn
mense territory, looking up to the Presi-
dent as the source of power and emolu-
ments. The time will come when luxury
and extravaganza will banished from our
country every species of republican vir-
tues; and the time will come, l fear,
when this Senate will be no more than a
shadow of what it was intended to be by
those who framed our Constitution, when
it will be no check upon the executive;
when it shall be as insignificant as the
boasted Senate of Rome in the time of
Tiberius. The whole patronage of Gov
ernment will centre in the President, and
that patronage, under our present sys-
tenn of choosing electors, will become a
machine of irresistible power. The man.
agement of this power will be a matter of
science. He will be deemed the greatest
politician and the ablest minister who
can, with given portion of patronage,
produce the greasted effect. The force of
thispower will be applied to effect the pur-
poses of ambition, with as much encon-
omy and skill as water is applied to the
wheel, or steam to the engine.

The close Of a very profitable term is draw
ing near. Under the instruction of the able
corps of teachers now connected with the
school, a student is able to make as great
progress as at any other school in the State.

ties of their departments with fiattering pros
poets. -
The usual lecture of the term before the
Literati Society, was delivered Thursday
evening by T. X. Simonton. Esq, of Camden
on ''Wine and Its Evils He held the clio. e
attention Of an appreciative audience for about
an hour. His treatment of the subject
was novel and very interesting.
The literary societies have enjoyed more
than usual success this term as all of their
public meetings held thus far, show. The
Adelphians held their last, Friday evening
the Caliopeans a week before, and the Liter
att will hold theirs next week. The literary
articles of the Adelphan meeting consisted
of the discussion, us Fiction Injurious?" by
Miss Cora G. Knight, affirmative and Miss
Abbie J. Churchill negative. Both sides of
the question were ably handled and well de-
livered; the prophecy by Miss Annie
NJ. Genthner was fine; the Grafton

prepared and eloquently delivered; the A
delphian was edited by Miss Hattie S. Philips
and Miss AngieL Swan with considerable
skill. Imogenc C. King displayed much talent
in the recitation of The Organ Builder. -
With training she would become very pop
uar reader. The music for the evening was
fine, being principally furnshd by the society.
