PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

i CHARLES II. REED had an interview
with Gen. BENZ. Butler, in Washington, the
other day, trying 10 induce him to argue
Guiteau's case before the Court i'm general
term. Gen. Butler said he had no doubt OF
Guiteau's insanity, and If he had time he
would make the argument, but he could not
possibly take hold OF it. He told Mr.. Reed
he ought to make the argument himself;
that he did not need any help. He may pos
sibly do so, he says. There is error enough
in the trial to set it aside IL GuiteaH had
killed an ordinary man.

COMMERCE. AND INDUSTRY.

TREASURER GILFILLAN says there is
a pressing need of. a fractional currency.
The demands for it in small quantities come
from all parts Of the country. 1t is needed
for transmission through the mails OF sums
less than 81, and for certain classes OF busi-
ness that have been wholly destroyed for
want OF this medium OF exchange, coin be-
ing too heavy and uncertain. Mr.. Gufllan
says many complaints come from newspa-
per publishers, who get so many postage
stamps that they don't know what to do
with them, the Government not redeeming
them. The Treasurer claims the right to
issue this fractional currency, but an appro-
priation to pay expenses is first necessary.
Ee advocates the issue.
THE Ways and Means Committee at
Washington has agreed on bill which will
make an annual reduction OF S23, 900, 900 in
the internal revenue. 1t proposes the abo-
Iition OF the stamp tax on bank checks,
matches, pcrlumery, etc, OF the taxes on
banking capital and deposits, and makes
material reductions in the burdens Of liquor
and tobacco dealers.

The Whitaker Case.

WASHINGTON, DTarch u.
A general order was issued from the Adju-
tant-General's Office to-day, giving the find
ings of the court-martial in the case of Cadet
johnson C. Whitaker, United States Military
Academy, together with the orders of the
President, signed yesterday, disappearing Of
the proceedings and sentence of the court,
and directing that Whitaker be released from
arrest. The court-mart al found Whitaker
guilty on both of the two charges against
him, viz, conduct unbecoming an officer and
a gentleman, and false swearing before the
Court of Inquiry at West Point together with
the various specifications under the charges.
The sentence of the court, which is rendered
imperative by the Presidents dlsapprova1,
was that he ''be dishonorably discharged from
the military service of the United States and
compelled to pay a fine of one dollar, and to be
thereafter confined at hard labor for one year
in such penitentiary as the reviewing author
ity may Designate
The reasons given by the President for dis
approving the findings are: "That on the
trial the court martial, Notwithstanding the
objection of the accused, admitted In evidence
to be used by experts in handwriting as stand
ards of comparison with the note of warning
which is the subject of the second speciica-
tion of the first charge, and OF the third speci
fication Of the second charge, number Of pa
pers testified to be in the handwriting Of the
accused, which papers were not in
evidence for any other purpose than to
be used as such standards, and were used
by the experts, and that large amount
of testimony in support of the above
mentioned two specifications by such ex-
perts based on their comparison of these stand
ards with the note Of warning was introduced
on the part Of the prosecution, and the Attor-
ney-General being of the opinion, concurring
therein with the Judge-Advocate-G General OF
the Army, that the aforementioned papers
were improperly admitted in evidence, and
that there Is in that respect error IN the pro-
eeedings of the court In relation to a material
Issue"

Ben Hill and His Mother.

''In all his life Ben Hill never did Il
more graceful thing said Gen. Evans
in his funeral Grafton over the late
senator from Georgia, ethan when he
made his last visit to the portrait of
his mother, which hung i'll one of his
rooms. When President Garfield placed
his manly arms around his venerable
mother i'll the presence of the vastmulti-
tudes that witnessed his Inauguration
and kissed her with lips fresh from
prOnOuncing the obligation of the
presidential office he drew unto him
self the warm heart of American moth
erhood forever. So when the great
senator went as II child to gaze upon
his mothers pictured face, and muir
INJURED, Il will soon see her. he left
the sons of this state and the Union IA
lesson of tilial love they should never
forget. The portrait shows dear,
old, good face, well traced with marks
of intelligence. The wrinkles are
there, the stoop of age and other signs
of failing life. Long since she went
away. But the wasted statesman be-
came Il boy again in feeling, gazed
with true, adoring love upon the
portrait, and then above the faded
picture looked with eyes that saw
home and heaven and mother all in
one vision of transcendent glory"

BigOIry in Girard College.

In the funeral services of DIR. Allen,
president of Girard college, good il
lustration was given, on the one hand
of the narrow bigotry of the founder
of that institution, in forbidding the
admission of any clergyman within its
walls, and on the other hand the folly
of all attempts to shut ont positive
Christian influences or pronounced re-
llgiuus teachings from such place, by
legal provisions and human guards
During the illness of President Allen
neither his pastor nor any other Chris
tan minister could visit him: nor
could his own son, if that son were IL
clergyman of any denomination what
soever, have passed within those walls
10 receive the farewell of his diving IA
thcr. If Il Buddhist priest were exclu-
dcd, under such circumstances, from
entering the precincts of Christian
college or hospital, i'll America, what
brutal bigotry it would be called-and
rightly Nor, again, could any Chris
tian minister come within Girard col
lege walls. to have II part i'll the tune
raj services at the chapel there. So
much for the bigotry side. But Presi-
dent Allen had himself done the work
of clergyman in that college while
living and at his funeral, Christian
services were there led by Christian
laymen.
After this, his remains were taken
into II neighboring church, where
Christian liberality gave freer air; and
there Il score or more of prominent
Christian clergymen united with Il
large assembly i'll paying another tri-
butte of respect to the life and work of
this distinguished Christian layman.
As Joseph said to his brethren who
had sold him into slavery, so it may
he said to Stephen Girard as to his at
tempted stigma on the influence of
Christian ministers i'll the founding of
that college &: eye thought evil but
God meant it unto good, to bring to
pass, us it is this day, to save much

A Noted Singer.

Miss Adelaide Phillips, who died
last week in the south of France
whittier she had gone for her health,
was born ut Stratford- on Avon, in 1873.
but her public career began in this
country. She was trained for the
stage, and made her debut ut the Bos-
ton museum in 1913. She was even
then good singer and accomplished
dancer. As her magnificent voice de-
velOped, she decided to 90 abroad for
thorough instruction and made her
first appearance in opera ut Milan in
1854, rs Rosina in the Barber of Sc
vile. 1t is needless here to recount
the story of her operate triumphs in
Europe and America. She was known
in the New England states chiefly up
on the concert stage and more recent
ly in the Boston Ideal opera company,
of which she was an original member.
In this company she sang Little But
tercup in PinafOre, Ruth in the Pirates.
Fatinitza in the opera of that name,
and other contraltO roles. She was an
excellent actress and great singer
an accomplished artist whose like we
shall not soon see again.
