"Under our present constitution the Legis-
lature of this State cannot create corpora
tions, its only power being TO provide by
general laws for their organization. There
fore, every corporation chartered since 1870
must stand upon some general law auihoriz-
ing its existence. These matrimonial aasoci-
sfious claim legal organization under sub
section 2 of section /, OF the act of 1875.
This subsection provides for the granting OF
charters to corporations for the support OF
any benevolent or charitable undertaking,
as a lodge Of Masons, hospitals for the sick,
orphan asylums,' etc. Il certainly cannot be
seriously maintained thai one of these associ-
atoms is a benevolent or charitable under
taking in the sense that Masonry is, or that
hospitals for the sick and orphan asylums'
are. Yet it must be to have a legal exist

association pays in the way of dues and
assessments for benefits which he hopes TO
receive in the future. The undertaking oil
the company is to return 10 him SO much

Changed His Mind.

The Rev. Mr.. Morgan, the English
clergyman who attended Sindraln at his
execution in New York City, the Hour
says, had somewhat curious expert
ence with that convict. Sindram took
great liking to the reverend gentle
man, and, although ne did not appreci-
ate the religious teaching, seems to have
derived much comfort and pleasure from
his conversation. A few days before the
execution, Sindrapl remarked that he
intended to cheat the hangman, and
Mr.. Morgan, understanding from his
remark that his pupil contemplated sui
eide, read him severe lecture upon the
wickedness of sef-murder. On the
night before the hanging, Sindram made
up several bundles of his effects, one of
which he sent to Leighton, the other
murderer who is awaiting his fate in the
Tombs, and a few days afterward,
Leighton gave Mr.. Morgan book
which he said Sindram had intrusted to
him.
On the first page of this book was an
Inscription: sFrom Sindram to the
Rev. Mr.. Morgan, y and underneath was
a memorandum asking the clergyman to
examine it carefully. He did 80, but
could find nothing in it. He even read
the whole book through, in the hope of
finding some marked passage. All was
when attempting to bend one of the
covers he discovered a slight stiffness.
Upon investigation knife was found
concealed in the leather, so that ap-
parently Sindram had the means to
commit suicide and wished to show Mr..
Morgan that his lecture was not given
in vain.

AndersOnville Revisited.

A few private stones have been erected
by friends of the departed, and stand in
long white lines like mounted officers
among the infantry, and it takes but
little stretch of the imagination to make
reality out of the picture set off in the
beginning. Many have come hither to
remove the bodies of relatives, but the
grounds are SO well kept and cared for
that few removals have taken place.
The marble slabs are some of them
beautiful, being notified and yariegated,
and among so many thousands some
exquisite specimens occur. Here and
there appears square stone shorter
than the rest, with simple number
marking the unknown grave. 1t strikes
one with mournful interest to see the
frequency of ages nineteen, twenty,
which appears on so many stones.
Nineteen seems to be the average OF
ages.

An Italian Brigand.

Pietro Gasparone, the renowned
brigand chief, expired the other day IN
an asylum for the poor near Naples,
aged ninety. More than half q century
ago the inhabitants of his native
province conferred the sobriquet of
"The Terror of the Abruzzi upon
him. He positively revelled in crime.
When a mere STRIPPING of nineteen he
took to brigandage in consequence of
disappointment in love. At that time
he had spent three years as cowherd in
the service of wealthy farmer, of whose
only daughter he became enamored.
The immediate result was Gasparone's
dismissal, to revenge which he joined
predatory association, of which he
subsequently became the President,
and persuaded his new comrades to JOIN

to be dispatched by his associates.
Later On, under the Bourbon regime,
ne succeeded in inspiring the Abruzzi
population with such abject fear that
no one could be induced to betray him
throughout his long career, although
the Neapolitan Government at one time
offered reward of five thousand ducats
for his head. AS soon, however, as his
physical powers began to fail him, he
contrived to make terms with the
authorities, and surrendered himself
voluntarily upon the assurance that a
full pardon would be granted to him.
During the last ten years of his life,
spent in the asylum above referred to-
he is said to have written his memoirs,
to be published after his death under
the title, "The Experience of a
Neapolitan Patriot from the Year 1911
to the Close of the Franco-Austrian
War"

Horace Greeley's Shoes.

The st. Louis Republican says:
About the year 1870, when Arthur Bar
ret was president of the Fair Associa-
ton, Mr.. Greeley accepted an invitation
to deliver the annual address in the am.
phitheatre at the fair grounds. Colonel
Charles TODD was chairman of the Re-
ception Committee, and after the close
of the address escorted the speaker to
his room at the Southern Hotel, where
he bade him goodbye, as Mr.. Greeley
was to leave the city early on the fol-
lowing morning. Before leaving him,
however, Col. Todd said /: "Well, Mr..
Greeley, trust that during your stay
here everything has been done for your
comfort, and that everything has been
satisfactory to you" "Yes," replied
Mr.. Greeley, slowly and with consider
able hesltancy, Everything has been as
pleasant as I could have desired ex-
cept"-here the old gentleman looked
sadly down at his feet and after brief
pause resumed" except that some one
your shoes ?" echoed Col. Todd, in as
constituent, also surveying Mr.. Gree
ley's feet. "Yes," replied Mr.. Greeley,
with sigh, and moving his feet uncom-
fortably "yes, left them outside my
door last night and some one walked off
with them. But new pair was left in
place of the old ones, and that's what
trou bles me. The old ones were easy
and comfortable, but the new ones hurt
my feet" Several weeks elapsed before
the mystery of the stolen shoes was
solved. 1t was then ascertained that a
colored man named Wilkinson, who was
one of the BARRIERS at the Southern, had
really taken Mr.. Greeley's shoes as me-
mentoes. In speaking of the matter to
Col Todd, Wilkinson said that he was
walking along the hall near Mr.. Gree
ley's room, and seeing the shoes the
idea struck him that they would be just
the things to give to the children to re-
mind them of him who had done so
much for the colored man. He there
fore took them, hurried to shoe store,
where he purchased pair of much bet
ter shoes of the same size as the old
ones, and, returning to the hotel, put
the former where the latter had stood.
He thought that fair exchange was no
robbery, and felt that he was giving
much more in actual value than he was
receiving. Wilkinson is dead, but the
shoes are probably now in st. Louis. 1t
is understood that several relic hunters
are looking for them.

A Monster Project.

Important articles of agreement
between the Prospect Park Association,
of Niagara Falls, Niagara County, N.
Y, and Leonard Henkle, inventor. of
Rochester, have been, drawn up.
Henkle is a practical mechanic who
has made several profitable inventions
in different branches of industry.
Several months ago he concluded that
the power of the Niagara River at
niagara Falls could be made available
in generating electricity for Illuminating
purposes. He claims to have invented
method of his own both for applying
the power and for generating electricity.
He claims to have perfected plan by
which electricity will be taken on
insulated underground cables as far east
as Boston and as far vest as Chicago in
sufficient quantity to light the streets
of those cities as well as private resi-
dences. After long negotiation he has
secured the offer of contract which
would bind the Prospect Park Aesocia-
ton to transfer in fee simple by deed
the property comprised in the twelve
acres of the Park and three acres out
side of it for the consideration of
81 900, 900. Henkle's plan is to erect
enormous hydraulic machinery on the
American side of the river, Just below
the falls, which will be used to do tn
work of generating the electricity. He
is now looking for his million dollars.
