Marriages of the RotI.scItild'S.
PHILADELPHIA Press,

The Baroness Charlotte, wife of Baron Lii
onel de Rothschild, is dead. The deceased
was daughter of Baron Charles de Roths-
child, one of the sons of Meyer Amschel,
founder of the celebrated banker family of
Rothschild. Charles settled at Naples, where
he presided over the branch of the house es-
tablished there until his death in 1855. His
daughter. Charlotte, was married on June
Is, 1886, to her cousin, the late Baron Lionel
Nathan de Rothschild, a son of Baron Ma
Meyer de Rothschild, who was also one of
the five sons of the founder of the family.
The marriage was the outgrowth of design
of Baron Nathan, who was at the head of the
London house of the family, and who came
to the conclusion that, in order to perpetu-
their fame and power, the Rothschilds should
keep their fortunes together and devote them
to the common cause. Accordingly he pro-
posed that they should iutermarry among
themselves, and form no martial unions out
side the family He called council of the
heads of the house at Frankfort, in 1886,
and his views were duly approved.
Baron Lionel had five children by the
Baroness Charlotte, three sons and two
daughters. The eldest son, Sir Nathan Mey-
er, Baronet, who succeeded to the baronage
add to the headship of the family, was born
Nov. s, 1910, married April II, 1857, Emma
daughter of Baron Charles Rothschild, and
has several children. He has been mem
Der of Parliament for Aylesbury in the Lib
eral interest. The other brothers are Charles
Alfred, born July 20, 1912, and Leopold,
born Nov. %, 1S45. The last named was
married in January, 1881, to Miss Perugia,
of Trieste, member of family of Jewish
bankers which stands almost as high in the
East as the Rothschilds in the West of Eu-
rope. The daughters of the late Baroness
Charlotte are Leonora, married in 1927 to
her cousin, Baron Alphonse, of Paris, and
Evelina, married in 1867 to her cousin,
Baron Ferdinand, of Frankfort. The Lon
don seat of this great family is at No. 14S
Piccadilly; the usual residence in Gunners-
bury Park, Middlesex, near London.

PARTISAN CHARLArANIsM.

1t seems to be the general belief that if
Robert T. Lincoln is not nominated for
President Gas he will not be,) that whoever
is nominated by the Republicans, Mr.. Lin
coin will be on the ticket for Vice-President.
This is the merest lap-trap-nominating a
man on the fame of his dead father, and not
for any merit or fitness of his own. 1t may
well be conceded that Mr.. Lincoln is
worthy and respectable gentleman, and
credit to him and his parentage it is, that
1t is so. But there are thousands of young
gentlemen as worthy and respectable as he,
who are as well or better qualified for posi-
ton on a national ticket, and yet have no
peculiar, or adequate qualification for the
position at all.
Mr.. Robert T. has no conspicuous ability or
experience as statesman, that he should
be put as nominee on a national ticket. The
use of his name in that connection is simply
{ he work of demagogues who propose to burst
the cerements of the grave, and drag forth
the bones of Abraham Lincoln for exhibition
in the dirty pool of current politics. The
name of a mediocre son of a renowned sire will
not strengthen the ticket, and tens of thou
sands of Republicans, to their credit be il
said, are disguised with this himsy and I'M
wholesome attempt to give an unreal, fcti-
tious semblance of attractiVeness to their ma
tional ticket.

CHOOSING JURORS.

The law of evidence in Ohio is such that
a conviction for murder in the first degree
has not occurred in Cincinnati for several
wears. The trial of the murderers of the
Taylor family, who committed their atrocious
crime simply for the profit of selling the
bodies to the Cincinnati Medical College
is soon to come on, and public sentiment
demanding that this trial should not be a
mere mockery, but tiat good honest hang
ing would be wholesome thing, applied to
the legislature for the passage of law that
would permit a jury to be selected that
would not be composed entirely of block
heads, too ignorant and stupid to read news
papers. The important language of the
new law, which the legislature was oblgin 6
enough to pass is as follows.
eff juror has formed or expressed an
opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the
accused, the Court shall thereupon proceed
to examine such juror on oath as to the
grounds of such opinion, and if such juror
shall say that he believes he can render an
impartial verdict Notwithstanding such opin-
ion, and If the Court is satisfied that such
juror Will TCuuer du ILL PAL Iidl fclu4C1 on 1hO
evidence, may admit him as competent to
serve in such case as a juror"
Heretofore if a man was summoned as a
juror and put upon his votr dire, and an
swered that he read the newspapers, he was
rejected at once, as too intelligent to answer
the purpose. The passage of the law has
rendered the newspapers of Cincinnati SUI
premely happy, and one Of them thus reveals
the condition of the public mind.
ssUpon receipt of the intelligence here, yes
terday afternoon, that the new jury bill had
passed the House of Representatives and was
now law of Ohio, several congratulatory tele-
grams were sent to Judge Pruden, the author Of
the BILL by prominent citizens, irrespective of
party, congratulating him upon the fact that he
had succeeded in making the bill law. Intelli-
gent men in Hamilton county will now have an
opportunity of trying couple of dozen murder
ers now snoozing in the county jail"
Another one says:
Snow this will stop good deal of the monkey
business in the criminal courts, and provide for
the hanging of murderers. 1t was high time. :"
There should be a similar law in every
state, for ''the monkey business in the Grim
inal Courts" is not indigenous to Ohio, as
some experience in the st. Paul courts last
week, amply exhibited.

SIOUenly Writers.

The lot Of printers is not happy one,
since in his honest daily and nightly labors
to earn his bread and water, he is required
to decipher so much eXcecrable manuscript.
The life of the druggist is scarcely more bliss
full, for while the amount of bad chirography
he is called upon to make out may be less,
the responsibility attending its translation
into meaning is much greater. The idea
that bad handwriting and mental greatness
must go together was long ago exploded; but
unfortunately, doctors, as well as editors, are
disposed to slovenliness in the use of the
pen and pencil. The druggists say well
written prescription-one that is perfectly
safe, utterly incapable of being misconstrued
is the exception. According to Philadel-
phia paper, a well-known pharmacist of that
city recently studied for a week a prescrip-
ton that had been handed TO him, and final
ly had to ''give it up" The samepaper says
there are several well-known physicians in
that city whose handwriting is so miserably
bad that druggists dread to have their pre-
scriptions handed over the counter, and only
from experience and by careful study are
the formulas of many others deciphered. So
important is this matter of handwriting in
prescriptions, and so numerous were the
sins of this kind, that the County Medical
Society was obliged to publish the following
''hint'' for the purpose of preventing the
occurrence of Mistakes 'Physicians should
write their prescriptions carefully and legibly
making use of good paper, and, whenever
possible, of pen and ink When obliged to
write with pencil, they should take the pre-
caution to fold the prescription twice, SO as to
prevent its being defaced"

ASHAMEEUL OEFICIAL.

The most shameful display of partisan
ship and most disgraceful improperly on
the part of public official, ever witnessed in
this city, took place at the county auditors
Office yesterday, auditor McCardy being
the central figure.
The law provides that the county commits
sioners may, at their meeting in January or
March, designate some newspaper
to publish the delinquent tax list. In case
the January and March meetings pass with
sut such designation the whole matter is then
left with the county auditor, to give at will
without restriction. 1t was the evident in
tention of our astute county auditor to have
the matter go by default and thus leave him
to dispense the It'd bit.
The GLOBE blocked this game by appear
ing at the meeting of the county board yester-
day, and putting in bid at 81 cents per de-
scription No other bid was offered but the
shame faced auditor, after reading in
public the bid of the GLOBE had, the brazen
audacity to announce that he was authorized
to bid 81 for another newspaper.
Subsequent events developed the fact that
the county auditor had put in this bid of SO
cents without knowing whether that was the
figure or not. He named 81 cents because
that was the bid of the GLOBE, and
later appealed to the publisher of the
Despatch, who was present, to know
if that was not the figure
he had offered. Assuming the state
ment of the knaves to be correct. that some
verbal offer had been made, the publisher of
the Dispatch stated that he had told the audi
tor that he would publish it at the same fig
ures as last year. The auditor was. obliged
to ask what that figure was, after he had, in
violation of all decency, put in verbal bid
in behalf of the newspaper he desired to be-
friend.
1t is difficult to fifty characterize the shame
less indecency Of this official. When one
newspaper had put in bid and it had been
made public, it was unreasonable to suppose
that the publisher of another paper, who
was present, would be allowed
to enter either a verbal or written bid,
but this indecent person took advantage of
his official position to put in the bid for the
Dispatc1t, and declare that the offer of that
paper was 81 cents when in fact it was last
years figure" and he had forgotten the exact
amount, but selected that figure at random
because it fitted the GLOBES bid.
Is man who would. be unblushingly
guilty of such knavery fit to be entrusted
with responsible public position? He pub
licly advertised himself as trickster and
man who would hesitate at no dishonesty to
gain partisan end. If such man will not
absolutely steal, it is safer to remove the
temptation by keeping him outside of any
position of trust.
His especial organ for whose benefit he so
disgracefully prostituted himself Yesterday,
announces that he will ignore the order of
the county board and refuse to publish the
tax list as voted. In that event there will
be no tax sale the coming fall
and this disgraced and disgraceful
official will have to take the responsibility of
swindling the county out of the taxes which
it is sworn duty to collect.

Putting a Club in the Hands of Re.
publicanS,

A preliminary meeting was held at the
Merchants last night by a number of Demo-
crBls well known throughout the state, for
the purpose of organizing free trade club.
The meeting was an informal one,
about a dozen gentlemen be-
ing present and nothing definite
was done further than to appoint committee
to draft and issue a call for a formal meet
ing for the organization of a state free trade
club. The evening was spent in talk con
demning any form of protective legislation
and especially that advocated by the Penn
sylvania iron men. The sentiment of the
meeting was that in the coming presidential
campaign the Democratic party should make
an issue of the tariff question, and come
out squarely with a plank favoring free trade.
Statements of the unanimity of feeling
throughout the state against protection were
made and belief expressed that free trade
clubs could be organized in every town in the
state. Among those present were c. H.
Benedict, and j. W. Willis, of
St. Paul, W. M. Campbell, of Litchfeld, O.
N. Hall and J, G. Pierce, Red Wing.

THE JERSEY CIRCUS.
Ten Weeks, Nothing Done, But Lots of Fun.

Ten Weeks, Nothing Done, But Lots Of Fun
Trenton, N. j. Cor. 18th.
The legislature has been in session ten
weeks. Seven hundred bills have been in
troduced, and only 40 of them have become
laws. The average length of sessions fol
many years has been twelve weeks. In spite
of the approach of the usual time for adj
journing, the assembly is daily becoming
more disorderly, and neglectful OF public
business. On Tuesday it had to adjourn
without doing anything for lack of quorum.
To-day, a great part of the time was spent in
sending up and having read by the clerk al
legged funny resolutions. Cole OF Hudson
was in the chair temporarily, and one of the
resolutions began:

The rest of it was drowned in laughter
The climax was reached when a member
sent up this on an immense sheet of paper
ResoE0ed That the Assembly be abolished.
When a message is received from the Gov
ernor the bearer stands in the central aisle

wished to see him. When the Judge reached
the proper spot member sprang up and an

These proceedings we're alternated with

manded Mr. Cole, who was speaking, to talk

seat. The bill passed without dissenting

III Re,card For His Cou,tesy.

A young man wearing a cameo pin in his
neck scarf boarded Blocker street car last
evening for ride up town. The car was so
crowded that he could not force his way in
side, and he took place upon the platform.
As the car proceeded on its way the platform
became more and more crowded. A man
with bandage around his wrist was one of
the last to get aboard.
'!Hope. you'll pardon me, sir,'' he said,
turning to the young man with the cameo
pin, ''but as have recently broken my arm,
and do not want to get it injured in this
crowd would you allow me to rest it upon
your shoulder in order to protect it from in
jury9''
Certainly" replied the young man.
With painful effort the unfortunate pas
senger lifted his arm and rested it upon his
accommodating neighbours sholder. When the
car had reached the street at which he desired
to stop he politely thanked the young man
with the cameo pin for his kindness, and
alighted
The accommodating young man softly whis-
tied refrain of a religisus hymn, as the car
proceeded on its way; but presently he lifted
his hand to his neck to adjust his collar,
and discovered that his cameo pin had been
stolen. The polite and afflicted stranger had
taken it away in his bandages.-New York

THE RAILROADS.
The Lumber Cut.

A lumberman from Wisconsin, who was
at the Merchants yesterday, stated that the
recent warm weather was bringing the men
out of the pineries of both Minnesota and
Wisconsin. The camps that have been open
all through the pine lands in these two
states during the whole of the past long
winter are being broken up quite rapidly and
hurried preparations are being made for
opening the driving season. Last fall the
lumbermen had conference as to the supply
of lumber, both as regards tiy quantity then
on hand and the quantity likely to be pro-
duced, and then concluded that there was
too much of it and that it would be necessary
to take such steps as would somewhat curtail
the quantity and thereby keep up the price.
But nature seems to have headed off the
lumbermen in certain degree. The win
ter has been long and steady, and all the
conditions for getting out lumber 80 far supe-
rior to those of any winter for a number OF
years that the temptation has been too strong
for them. and the result has been that the cut
in these states has been fully equal to the av-
erage for the last five years, and at least 70
per cent. greater than was calculated upon.
The demand for high grade lumber has been
quite steady throughout the entire winter,
and the approach of spring brings evidences
of an increase in this direction.
The demand from Manitoba and Dakota is
and will probably continue to be not much
more than in previous seasons, but that
from Kansas and other southwestern states
and territories has improved enough to in
crease the general demand and it is alto
gether propable that the prices for high
grades will be maintained fully up to last
years. rates. Low grades, however, it is
thought will drop a little lower.
