A curious question of Parliamentary
procedure will arise on account of the
disappearance of Mr.. Walter Powell, NJ.
p, for Malmesbury, the eronaut, who is
not likely to be ever heard of again.
According to the English law, where
there is no actual authentic proof of
death, an individual for civil purposes
is supposed TO be alive-at least for a
certain number of years. Malmesbury
will thus be without a representative
until the next general election, which
means the loss of vote to the Tories
A remarkable history Is connected with
the family of Mr.. Powell. His father
rose from comparatively insignificant
position to become a colliery owner and
coal shipper. AT his death it was found
that his will had been stolen
and for a long time the most
active search proved fruitless. A painter
who had been engaged on the house
ultimately gave up the will on the pro-
mise of large reward, but on going to
receive it ne was arrested, and was after
ward sentenced to twelve years impris-
onment for the theft The eldest son,
Mr.. Thomas Powell, was killed in Abys-
sinia. where he had gone on hunting
expedition, and bis wife and daughters,
and all his followers, met the same fate.
His second brother went to Africa at the
head OF a small force to punish his muir
derers, dealt summary chastisement to
the tribe, and recovered the body. The
third brother is the gentleman who has
lately disappeared.

Philadelphia is not only city of red
brick and white marble door steps, but
OF bay windows, too. The practice has
been to gain ground by extending these
windows over the street line, a permit
from the ComAlon Council being easily
obtainable. A movement has been start
ed to protect the public from these rap
idly multiplying encroachments, and in
a suit to compel the removal of one of
the structures which was projected from
a second story, Judge Allison rules as
follows "a public highway does not
mean only the footway and cartway, but
all above it. When a street is dedicated
to public use it not only gives the right
of passage to carts, wagons and foot pas
sengers, but also retains to the citizen
an unrestricted right of light, air and
view"

SECTION HANDS THREATEN TO LYNCH
THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE TEXAS
PACIFIC RAILROAD.-As story comes from
Texas that section hands and other labor
ers on the Texas Pacific Railroad are
greatly excited over the recent reduction
in their wages to 81 10 per day, and that
a few days ago a large party of them
stopped the pay car at a point called
Wild Horse, under the impression that it
was General Manager Hoxie's car, and
that he was aboard of it.
They side-tracked the cars and de
manded the delivery of Mr.. Hoxie that
they might lynch him. When told that
ttat official was not on the car the mob
would not believe it, and they piled uI
wood around the car to fire it, as they
said, 10 roast Hoxie out. PaymasteI
Kritz finally made the excited men com
prehend that Mr.. Hoxie was not present
but they kept the car on the side track

Massachusetts, comes to the front as
the champion of woman suffrage, which,
according to the Chicago Tribune. means
the right of females to coerce the males
by lawmaking. Gov. Long in his mes
sage declares his conviction of the rights
of woman suffrage, and suggests that if
the State is now ready to incorporate
these rights in a constitutional amend
ment then they ought at least to be tested
at the municipal elections. Senator
Hoar, of the same State, has also moved
the addition of a standing committee on
the rights of women to the other Senate
committees. The motion has been car.
ried and the committee appointed.

They say that the fund of $3.50. 600
recently contributed to General Grant
has shrunk considerably in value owing
to the depreciation of the securities in
which that fund was invested. There is
reason to believe. however, that this
statement has to be taken with many
grains of salt, for, in the first place,
Grant has just bought choice seat in
DIR. Newman's church, New York, for
$1,000, and, in the next place, he has
not sent around his hat for contributions
to make up for his alleged losses.

died all over, certainly while it lived it
lived in clover. 1t is stated that the ap.
pointments of the office reached high de-
gree of splendor. and that velvet covered
chairs had been provided even for the

for editors, when all other editors in

silk tapestried sofas and easy chairs. Such
extravaganza deserved to be punished.

DR.. Sayre sends to the New York
Herald some very conclusive proof Of
the efficacy Of vaccination as proven
tive of smallpox. At the Nursery Hos
pital in New York during the years
1s54-55-56 there were admitted 1866
children, and yet no case of small pox
occurred during this period, except the
four cases that were brought there suf-
fering from the disease at the time of
admission, and it never spread TO the
other inmates in a single instance. Dur
ing these three years every child was
vaccinated on admission, but in the sub
seauent five years, when less rigor was
used in vaccinating the children, there
were A cases of small pox out of 6.867
admissions. In the Refuge Hospital,
where vaccination was imperative, the
disease was exterminated for seven
wears. although children suffering with
smallpox were admitted during the
time. thus exposing the inmates to con
taeion. Such facts may be deemed con-
elusive.

The Baltimore Sun thinks that the
resolution introduced into the Virginia
Senate by Mr.. VIM. A. Glasgow in
structing the Committee on Courts of
Justice to report measures for "the pun
ishmeat of malicious defamation and
wantOn insult, so that even in the esti-
nation of admirers of the code duellc
there shall be no further occasion for it,
is a step in the right direction. That p
per reasons that if courts of justice can
be made effective in quieung slanderous
imputations instead of giving them wider
currency, as Is tCJ often the case, the last
shadow Of excuse for the silly duellO may
be removed. 1t says: Modern civil
zation has added other virtues to manly
character than mere physical courage,
for the vindicatiOn of which alone the
duello served a purpose. In a militant
type of society like that of Germany,
France, Italy or Russia, where TO
be brave is to be everything of
prime Importance, the duel may,
however absurd, be considered to the
manner born; but in country like ours,
where industrialism happily supplants
militarism, moral rather than physical vir-
tues are to be aimed at. Honesty, kind
illness, industry, intelligence are the quail
ties here considered supreme, and they
can be better proved by the daily tenor of
ones life than by standing up to be shot
at 1t is in this sense that the code duello
is a relic of barbarism, that it has come
down 10 US from a period when brute
strength and animal courage were the
valuable things, and decided mans
claims to consideration. But among a
people who recognize moral rather than
physical standards of conduct, dueling
is as much an anachronism as suit of
plate armOr."
