in point of doctrine. Ali the Gentiles who
adopted judaism adopted the doctrine OF
the Law, the belief in 3 single God. The
infusion OF the Gentle ielement in Judaism
became such that it alarmed the doctors, and
the reaction which took place Is no other
than the Talmud. Judsism felt that it was
at the point Of being lost ia Christianity. Ii
made itself mere orthodox, more narrow,
and the spirit OF proselyiism was crushed.
For centuries judaism separated itself from

Shot by n Crank.

BosToN, May 7.-Shortly after noon to-day
Wade, chief OF the district police in Pember-
ton ,quare, was shot in the left arm and right
shoulder by Richard Brennan, a crank, re-
Gently discharged from The City Correctional
Institution. Brennan was arrested. Wsde's
wounds are severe, but not dangerous.
Ldter.-The excitement over the shooting
was tremendous. Within a few minutes a
great crowd blocked the street in the neigh
borhood of the chiefs office, No. So Pember-
ton Square. The news spread rapidly
through the city. Crowds gathered in front
OF the newspaper offices, and nothing else
wss talked OF. The wound in the arm is
worse, and the surgeons did not deem it pru-
dent 10 attempt 10 extract the ball. There
has been great loss of blood, and the bullet
lies dangerously near the artery in the elbow.
Brennan was a member of the Thirteenth
Massachusetts, Regiment, and is now on a
three months leave OF absence from the Sol
diers' Home at Togus Springs, Me.
Careful inquiry develops the fact that
Brennan had In contemplation a number of
tragedies. After failing to find DIR. Jelley,
he visited the City hall in search of In
spectors Ge~rraughty and Lynch, whom he
intended TO kill. Later be went to the State
house, looking for some one else. His in.
Tended victims were absent in each case, and
Chief Wade was the first man on the list
whom be found. The first seen of Brennan
by the City Hall detectives was about a year
and a half sgo, when he called to get police
assistance in one Of his domestic troubles.
Seeing he was unbalanced, Inspectors Ger
raughty and Lynch humored him by prom
Using to put a large force at work. Soon
after Gerroughty received q letter from him,
marked at the Taunton Asylum. He wrote
that his principal trouble there was a tele-
phone in his ear, which was a great
annoyance to him. A week afterwsrd
he walked into the City Hall head
quarters of Inspector Gerraughty, who
asked him how he got out. oh" ne said,
81 got on to their racket down there. You
see as long as you say you're not insane they
keep you there. But one day L thought /
would change it, and when they asked me 1

why should l be here?' Next day / get my
discharge" He asked about his case the
officers were at work on. Garraughty told
him it was all fixed up and his enemies dis
posed Of. The fellow believed it at first, but
presently exclaimed: "No, you have not
finished it. / hear the telephone in my ear
now. You must get it out" Early in the
morning Brennan visited the shop where he
was once employed. After reviewing his
fancisd wrongs, he said he was geing up on
the bill TO fix a man up there. Although he
did not speak his name, he referred 10
Gov. Butler. He went 10 the Stalehouse.

PROJECTs,

1t takes all sorts of people to make q
world ; and where there are all serts of peo-
pie there will also be all sorts Of schemes,
aims, and designs. Among such as exist in
our " country there are occasional hints
TO be met with in the public press about pro-
jscts, at present only secretly avowed and
crafdly propagated, to annex Mexico to the
United States. A GIlveston journal states
that a Venezuela newspaper, the Opinion
National, Of Caracas, has caught an inkliDg
OF these reported designs to have the United
States fl,g to wave over The halls OF the Mon
tezumas through railroad influences. The
Opinion says 'Such are the perils which
menace the independence of our sister re-
public OF Mexico, the most advanced
and peaceful of Spain's late colonies. 1t
will be easy to predict what will be
the destiny of Mexico and Central America"
The Galveston NspS, referring 10 the article
in the Opinion, saya: "Ths North has never
been accused Of seeking annexation, this ia a

who have projected the whole matter, and

people, it is at least widely incorrect 10 say

more than one Mexican paper has ex-
hibited great bravery in proposing to
fight for the preservation Of independence,
but what does that amount to? Ten
millions OF armed Mexicans can fight Co.

they cannot fight 500, 100000 unarmed Amer

AN IRISH SCANDAL.
FOUR HUNDRED POUNDS FOR THE REDUCTION
OLE MAAls XIFE


| In Dublin, before Chief Justice Morris and
a special jury, an seton was brought by M.
Michael Kinsellz, Of Strand road, Sandy
mount, against Mr.. K. K. Wing6eld, of Fairy
Hill, Bray, the father Of the Couutess Of
Wicklow, for $1,000, for damages for the
alleged seduction Of plaintiffs wife. The
defendant trsversed the action, and con-
tended that any acts committed before Au-
gust last year were condoned by the plaintiff.
| The plaintiffs counsel, in stating the case,
said his client was a retired policeman en-
| joying a pension. In 1875 he married a re-
markedly handsome young widow named
Rheddy, for whom through influence he OBJ
tanned a situation in Dublin Castle. From
! this time his misfortunes commenced. HIS
wife had to look after the Office Of LUnacy at
3 salary Of e40 a year. After that she re.
ceived another appointment to look after
the rooms Of the Petty Sessions clerks depart
ment, bringing up her salary 10 el00 a year.
The defendant was a member OF the Pow
erscourt family, one oil the most Distinguished
in Ireland. He held an Office in the castle
OF registrar of Petty Sessions clerks, snd it
was owing 10 the plaintiff wife being a kind
of housekeeper in the Office over which he
presided that much of the evil that would be
detailed in the case arose. The defendant
was over sixty years OF age, a married man
with a large family. Even before the
plaintiff wife got the appointment in this
office, the defendant had, counsel alleged,
formed the design Of seducing her, and ne
had put her and her husband in a house.
The plaintiffs wife afterward gave birth to a
child, and the defendant visited her daily,
supplying her with delicacies and sitting BY
her bedside. The plaintiff ultimately grew
suspicious of the relations that existed be-
tween them, as The ~Deighbors began to talk.
He demonstrated with the defendant and an
angry scene occurred. The plaintiff insisted
on his vile resigning, but owing TO her
declarations OF innocence she was permitted
10 retain her position. PLAINTIFF vile al
terwsrd went 10 live at the seaside, and nee
essaries were supplied by the defendant, who
siterwsrd put her in a stall at the South
City Market, which he fitted UP. Tne plain
tiff afterWard found in his wife's drawer

terms and signed "Loving Dick" TIE
plaintiff eventually turned his wife cut of
the house. Alter ward be accepted Sl00 as
compensation from the defendsntj but the
wife eventually left the plaintiff and lived
as the defendants mistress. There was go
defense. The jury gave the plaintiff $500
damages.

The general statement for March will be

mesa of any kind pending their outcome"
This sentence of the very prudent Chronicle
Is significant, and prompts a question the
reader may wisely put-why are we 50 much
more dependent upon the present years
crop than usual, are we in the position of q
gambler whose tate depends upon the turn
ing of the Eext card? The lateness Of
cold weather has had a very de-
pressing effect upon retailers in many
lines, and great portions OF stocks
will have to be carried over to next season,
aud collections will be lees prompt than
usual. The Boston Advertiser remarks upon
the large amounts the Eastern cities are now
paying out each spring for Southern fruits
and vegetables; it says: "That 80 inIigni6-
fuences our banks can be seen in the rapid
Increase of money in Norfolk and Florida
in the peach and straw berry regions. While
the agricultural interest of the country 10
thrifty the South and West absorb enough
money TO make Eastern banks poor; the loss
is a serious fact and will continue until the
farmers give up boarding for banking" The
Advertiser adds: "Our exports increase, and
the outlook is brilliant; that is to say, |
Europe is willing 10 take whatever we send; |
and our imports decrease. Bot this
change is temporary only, and after
July 1st we shall have something of q
strain 10 endure; because at that time inn
ports will come in with a rush, the govern
