THREE unhappy and sinful women have
within the last few days committed suicide in
New York. Miss Jenny Amy shot and killed
her lover" apparently because he refused to
marry her. Mrs. Uher, the well-cared-for wife
who became the mistress of Haverstick i'll pref
erence to remaining with her homo and hus-
band killed herself last week with morphine,
after having seen her paramour shot and killed
by her brother last March. And now Mrs. John
L. Virgins, of Rome N. Y, has blown her
brains out after doing much as Mrs. Uhler did.
Surely the wages of sin is death, and there is
enough in these three tragedies to warn women
against the ways of the world She who has
husband, home and children has all The world
can give nothing more but shame, and remorse,
and death

THE FRENCH INVESTIGATION.

1t was in evidence before the French inves-
tigating commission yesterday that some Of
Mr.. French's subordinates were circulating
testimonials among the clerks testifying to
the Superintendent excellent qualities and
character. Reports of this scandalous pro-
ceeding have been current for some days, but
we have hesitated to believe that any one
could be guilty of so bold and bare-faced an
improperly. When it was brought to Mr.
Frenchs attention he said he could do moth
ing about it, and could not prevent his friends
from doing what they pleased in his behalf
Since when did Mr.. French become so pow
erlessl 1t has been understood, hitherto, that
he was remarkably strict disciplinarian, and
the testimony thus far given does not indi-
cate any over-sensitiveness of feeling toward
French would stop the business Immediately.
That he pleads his inability to control it, and
that it is permitted to proceed
without syllable of rebuke, is
only another evidence of the grotesque
farce of the whole proceeding The wonder is
that clerks who believe they have suffered
from Mr.. French's tyranny have been willing
to publicly testify as they have DONE The
fact shows the strength of their belief in the
justice of the complaints that have been
made against Mr.. French for so long time.
That such proceeding as was testified to can
be inaugurated and continued under the cir
cumstances, and elicit from Mr.. French the
statement credited to him, is conclusive of his
entire unftness for the office he holds. Judg-
ing from the temper of Mr. French's remarks
he would not only not interfere, but would be
much pleased if his favorite clerks would raise
a fund for a gold medal or some other testi-
monial of esteem, willie scores of old soldiers,
who served through the war, leaving tIa.f
homes and families to fight for the govern
ment which pays Mr.. French, and who are
now trying to earn modest and moderate
living at the hands OF the stion they helped
to save, are left without redress for wrongs,

THE return of the Lasker memorial resolu-
ton by the German government is very
trivial matter compared with the report that
naturalized American citizens, now on a visit
to their old homes in Germany, are being sub
jected to military duty. The Lasker resolu-
ton was passed as mere formal oppression
as all these funeral testimonials are-and it
received no attention whatever from the
House, not half-dozeu members voting for
it or knowing that it had passed. It is in the
highest degree absurd to try and work the
country into fever over the matter But there
is real, solid ground for talk, and
talk that means something, if the report
of the treatment accorded to German natural
lied citizens be irue. If the United States is
not able to protect its citizens in Virginia, and
Mississippi, and elsewhere from the lash and

gate our sense of shame if we can protectth them

This conduct is horrible said Mr. Hayes
''It would be bad enough in anyone but for

in the face, and his stern remarks caused a good
deal of excitement.
Mayor Lowenstein, who was covered with mud
and had the front torn out of his shirt, gazed at
Hayes with drunken indignation, and then gave
one of his familiar war-whoops
Whore you talking to, you old tallow can

the crowd.

clined to act in the matter. The crowd then re-
treated and the Mayor, more excited than ever
rushed into the courtroom, called the judge q
liar and then undertook the task of cleaning os,t

the judge left the bench, and it required the
united efforts of lawyers and court officers to
get the Mayor out of the room.
His Honor enjoys the reputation of being a
good fellow when sober and it is for this reason
that nobody will interfere with him. The mem
bers of his family are deeply mortified over his
conduct and the shutters of his house on Hilton
terrace are closed.
An indignation meeting of temperance leaders
was held at Mrs Hayess residence this evening,
two hundred ladies being present. Mrs. Hayes
presided, and spoke of the Mayors conduct as
shocking to the last degree" She also offered
a resolution, which was unanimously adopted,
providing for his instant removal from Office.
Mayor Lowenstein was found at the entrance
of the park shortly after 10 o'clock tonight He
had removed his boots and coat, and laid down
in the snow for a sleep. In this condition he was
carried home.

THE THRIFTY LAWYER.
way

Miss Keziah Blackburn, late of Brooklyn,
had but one aim in life which was to save
enough money to secure grand funeral when
she died. When Miss Keziah was young her
parents, at one time prosperous had become
so financially reduced that after their death it
became necessary to take up subscription to
save them from being buried in the potter's
field. This sad ending made so great an i'm
preston upon the mind of the daughter that
she henceforth directed all her efforts to saw
ing sufficient money to pay her funeral ex-
soamstress she managed, by strict economy
and self-denial, to lay by s., 200, all of which
she directed in her will was to be expended for
the purpose named, and for tombstone
over her grave. Careful directions were given
touching all the details of the funeral the
pastor of the church which she attended being
made executor. Last week Miss Blackburn
died, and no sooner was the breath
out of her body than an attorney in
whom she had reposed confidence and who
had once transacted small amount of bust
ness for her, put in claims which would swallow
up the hard-earned savings. There was an
infornality in the will, of course-there al
ways is-and it was set aside, after which the
lawyer, in manner which only members of
the profession can understand took possession
of the effects of the deceased, not, however,
including the remains. An appeal to the
court might have resulted in the recovery of
part of the funds, and it might not, but there
was no one to assume such responsibility, and,
at any rate, the funeral could not await the
outcome of lawsuit. Miss Blackburn's body
must be buried, and buried it was, the ex-
penses being betrayed by a collection taken
up among the parishioners by her pastor. If
there is such thing as turning in ones grave
because of the behavior of those left on earth,
Miss Blackburn has probably made several
revolutions before this time.

THE horrors of life in the Kentucky Insane
Asylum are being revealed by an investiga-

medical stores, testifes that drinks were
served out literally to employees on the super
intendent's order, and generously admits that
he himself occasionally drank too much; but
apologies by saying that "things were so hOr-
rible had to get full in self-defense." The
story he tells is frightful one, but may have
been colored by his resentment on account of
his dismissal

The evidence, as far as taken, at Indianapolis,

In the address of Archbishop Feehan,
at Chicago, on the occasion of his reception,
on Sunday, he said, of his visit to Rome:
'The Pope asked me not only about our
religious situation, but also about our relations
with the municipal and federal governments,
and he was rejoiced to learn of our peaceful
relations with both" What dreadful thing
it would be if the relations" of the church to
the municipal and federal government had
not been peaceful! Imagine an Episcopal or
Methodist bishop, or a Presbyterian moderator,
talking about the relations" between their
church and the municipal and federal govern
ments This sort of stuff is un-American
and dangerous There are no relations
between church and state in this country,
except the relations" subsisting between
every citizen and the government.
