1t now seems Colonel Rathbone's
insanity was no secret TO his wife
and family. His decisions were of a
nature to make him dangerous to
those nearest and dearest to him, and
1t is not surprising, therefore, that
his wife became the victim of her
own concealment of his malady.

The Stockmen's Convention.

GALVESTON, Jan. S.-The predom-
mating sentiment in thu convention
is that something must be done in
stanter, but further than this all are
at sea. South Texas favors a herd
law; Southwest Texas wants protec-
ton for vested rights and will accept
the herd law if necessary to secure
protection; North and Northwest
Texas favor free grass and free range
and will have nathing less. The
Convention to-day is unable to agree
upon any policy.

Congressman Lyman IL. Weller,
an Iowa Greenbacker, has hit upon
a plan to set the Government print
ing presses at work making green
backs. His bill, if passed, providing
for the issue of $500, 900, 900 treasury
notes wherewith to pay S ldiers and
sailors of the late civil war the differ
ence between the value of greenbacks
paid to them for their services and
the value of gold at that time,
would accomplish that object. Mr..
Weller's constituency is doubtless
largely composed of Union soldiers
and his bill for their relief NAV be
regarded as a bid for their continued
support at the polls. He certainly
cannot believe such an insane meas.
ure will be seriously considered bv a
body Of sensible men. Soldiers and
sailors deserve consideration at the
hands Of the Government which thew
have served, but it is doubtful
whether they ask, much less expect.
the passage of this bill. Mr.. Weller
may make a little political capital
out OF his measure and that is abu,t
all he expected when he introduced it.

Mail and Erpress: The Car is re-
ported to lie much depressed by the
assassination of Lieutenant-Colonel
Sudeikin, who was one of his most
efficient as we'll as most devoted Off
GERS. Although Sudelkin was very
wary and always guar ded by six de-
tectives, he seems to have been en-
ticed into Ratkoff building, near the
Moscow railway station, by false re-
ports of a Socialistic meeting, and
his giant strength and lion-like cour-
age were not adequate for his de!iv-
cry from the assasSins who there fell
upon him. In his death the Car
has lost perhaps his best defender
against the Nihilists, and it is not
strange the calamity provokes a re-
solve to employ more severe measures
of repression than ever before. The
tranquility of the Empire since the
coronation is known to have induced
the Gar to consider favorably a
proposition to make constitutional
concessions, but it is now said that
all thought OF such action is removed
rom his mind. The blow which
Killed Sudeikin has therefore not
only robbed the Car of an invaluable
friend, but also inflicted a severe
wound upon Russia herself.

About month ago was attacked with

by fever and great difficulty in breath

A Lucky Judge.

An instance of being saved by ones
friend is related of one of the Judges of
the State Supreme Court who several
years ago was lawyer and not in very
thlivingGi cumstances, and whose pat
ner was in the habit of borrowing his
notes or his indo- sement asd putting it
into the bank TO raise money. One of
the bank officers overhauled the future
Jud e one day and said: "There is a
note of yours which has been several
times renewed ut our bank and has
finally gone to protest; it amounts to
$500, and you must send me down
some collateral for it. The lawyer ex-
claimed that he had not had any benefit
fom the loan, but that he recognized
the obi cation, and he said: elf l get
this nomination for Supreme Judge
will freak up that partnersh p" The
idea never crossed the bank officer that
there was any Jud geship in his friend.
In day or two the lawyer came down
to tie bank with al out one hundred
shares of street car railroad stock,
worth at that time in the neighborhood
of sixty ents on the dollar, or in all,
perhaps, $6,00p, bat considered very
and being slow and cautious man, he
watched it and meantime the other was
elevated to the bench. Sc, eral years
passed on. and finally there were divi-
dends on the stock, which, by the way,
was in the Dry Dock and i asst Broad
way line. The divi, ends were care
fully collected and applied to the note.
After some years there was rise in the
stock, and then the banker sent word to
the Judge on the bench not to dispose
of that stock. The Judge was fright
ened; he thought the stock hal been
long ago conGscated for the protested
note, and he sent friend down to the
lank to ask what the notification meant.
The banker in short time sent the
Judge nearly $4,000 as his due on this
conserved stock after suttracting the
note and interest in that way money
is made by men who know how for
men who do not know how.-GGth.

Pooling a Burglar.

There is hardly anybody so utterly
ignorant that he does not appreciat :
the danger of fooling with an unloaded
pistol. Loaded pistols miss fire, or if
they go off, are apt to mis-; the person
aimed at, but the unloaded pistol, never.
Not long since, an Austin gentleman
was awakened by somebody monkey
ing at the shutter. He knew at once
that it was burglar He did not rel
ish the idea of having dead b rglar
on his conscience tesides, being q
poor shot, he was afraid the burglar
might fire back. Cut OF consideration
for the burglar, he said in loud voice;
81 bel eve this pistol is not loaded. -
Next morning the acks in the gar
den revea'e ed the fact that the burglar
had averaged seventeen feet in his
jumps and had cleared a seven-foot
fence. 1t was good joke on the burg
lar, as the pistol contained seven ball
cartridges --1erds Sd tiRqS
