WHY THEY DO NOT SPEAK AS THEY PASS BY.
The cause Of Louis James retirement from
Lawrence Barretts dramatic company, to be
followed by the secession of Marie Wainwright,
is thus related In q dispatch from New York:
It was the social snubbing OF them by the
traSedian. Barrett is some what pretentious
personally and as TO his family. He associates
with Booth and several other eminent stage
men. but to the rest he is a stranger, except Tor
such professional intercourse he may be
compelled 70 hold. His home here is I'm Filth
avenue, and his daughters move in first-rate
society.
Louis James belongs to an hopored Baltimore
family, is well educated and distinctly "A gentle
man in manners. His wife. known 10 the pub
lie as Miss Wainwright is a relative of Bishop
Wainwright, and possesses a high degree of re-
fnement. That Barrett always held aloof from
them during the years of their employ ment by
him was a source OF soreness, but finally, when
the Misses Barrett were rather pointedy kept
separate, the affront was deemed sufficient To
demand resentment. Although James parted
from a wife to marry Miss Wainwright, and
she left a husband tor the same purpose, they
claim that those severances were justified by
the doings OF the original partners and that
their present union has legal sanction.

A SOLEMN WARNTNG CONES roo
LITE

The progress OF science is wonderful. So
long as the human race Is benefited. by its
discoveries its investigations should be en-
couraged. But when it reaches that point
That the Legitimate sweets of life are to be de-
MED. because science can demonstrate that
they are fatal in their enjoyment, then 1t would
be as well TO fall back to the era when the
world CROPPED in darkness because Of the alb
senee of scientific light. The latest an
nouncement from the medical department
of scientific investigation is that kissing is
dangerous to life. The theory advanced by
physicians is that lives are daily sacrificed
and diseases communicated by pernicious
oscillation. 1t cannot be doubted, they con-
tend. that a larger proportion of the human
family than nonprofessional persons will be-
lieve is afflicted with maladies which are
easily communicated to others by the con-
tact Of lips and the inhaling of the breath.
It is horrible thought, if true, that
millions of beautiful mouths, as tempt
ing as roses, conceal thorns in the
shape of fatal disease germs. And
yet for six thousand years the world
in its blindness had been staggering along
the death-infected way all unconscious Of the
danger. 1t is saddening reflection to think
Of the numberless young people in the
worlds history who have gone down to pre-
mature graves because that in the transport
of loves young dream they permitted their
spirits to rush together with the meeting of
the lips. And all owing to the ignorance of
g great scientific law.
That was a touching story told by Mr..
GLADSTONE when announcing the death OF
the Princess ALICE in parliament. She had
been cautioned by the physician not to inhale
the breath of her little boy who was i'll with
diphtheria. The little fellow was tossing in
his bed in the delrium of fever. The prin-
cess stood By the side of her child and laid
her hand on his brow and began to caress
him. The touch cooled the feyered brain
and brought the wandering soul back from
its wild delirium to nestle for a moment in
the lap of mothers lote. Then throwing
his arms around her neck he whispered,
mamma, kiss me-" The instinct Of a
mothers love was stronger than science, and
she pressed her lips to those Of her child.
And yet there is not a woman in all the
world but would say she would not have bad
a mothers heart If she had not kissed her
BARN. And so it will be TO the end Of time.
The mother will kiss her child, the wife her
husband and the lover his sweetheart though
death in thousand forms lay concealed be-
meath the vermilion coloring of the pouting
lips. Science has struck one object that 1t is
going to trip up on. 1t had as well turn its
attention TO some more inviting field. Its
solemn warning has come too late to accom-
plish a purpose. EPHRAM is joined to his
idol and must be let alone. The osculatory
art viii live forever.

THE BADGER STATE BAR.

A Lively Meeting of the Association--The
Opponents Of Judge Taylor Win the Day.
MADISON, Wis, Feb. IA meeting of
the State Bar association was held here this
afternoon and evening, and was attended by
about $50 members of the profession from
all parts of the state. The expectation
that at this meeting an attempt would be
made to nominate q candidate for associate
justice for the supreme court against David
Taylor, whose successor will be elected next
April, served to bring out lawyer politicians
in full force. The Republicans turned out
in order to prevent any nomination
by the bar association, but the Dem
ocratic mem bers and 4 considerable number
of others who believe there should be an in
fusion Of young blood into the supreme
court, were as determined that some young
lawyer from the northwestern part of the
state should make the race against Judge
Taylor. When the association had gone
through its routine work and reached the
question of supreme judgeship there was a
stormy time. Mr.. Taylor's friends resorted
to every species of filibustering, even to
having a call of the house, just as though
the association had some lawful power over
the attendance of its members. While q
motion to order the previous question was
pending, three several motions were sue
cessively entertained and rejected. a motion
that any nomination should not be
considered binding upon all mem
bers wss voted down as
was also motion to adjourn for one week to
get an expression of the will of the people
before final action is taken. Taylor's friends
then saw that they were in the minority and
every one of them left the hall in
disgust, threatening vengeance. Those
who favored an opposition candidate
held undisturbed sway committee was
appointed TO call on l.. NJ. Villas of Eau
Claire and ask him to be a candidate against
Judge Taylor. The friends of the latter cir
culated petitions among members Of
the legislature to-day and secured
numerous signers. The bringing
out of Villas as a partisan candidate
has created considerable feeling among poll
ticians here, who believe that the judicial
elections should be kept out of politics. The
decision of the officers resulted as follows:
NJ. NJ. Strong of Mineral Point, president;
Z. P. Villas of Madison, secretary; j. Ii. Car
Denter OF Madison, treasurer,

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. 17.-Sulliyan went
upon the witness stand in the federal court
this morning and rehearsed the story told in
his affidavit Of his subornati0n by Mackin
to commit perjury. The revelation evidently
created a sensation in the jury box. AS the
members OF tie jury are being closely
guarded and not allowed to read the papers,
this was the first intination that they had of
what was coming. Tire confession Of J. X
Sullivan, the witness for the defense in the
Nackin case, to the effect that for four silver
dollars and the promise of a place in the
government printing Office in Washing
ton he committed perjury and that
the testimony be gave last week
was entirely at Mackin's dictatiou, has
produced the greatest CONSERVATION among
the parties implicated. O'Brfen, the man
whfis alleged to have acted az go-between
fohhackin and Sullivan, and who first
br56ched Mackin's scheme to the latter, was
arrested this morning and warrants were
also issued for the arrest of Titman and
SmOns and two others Of Mackin's wit
npsses.
Titmsu, the owner OF the presses Oh which
Sullivan swore he printed the tpgus tickets
on the night Of Nov.3, was also arrested and
confessed that he also swore falsely in say
ing he rented the presses 10 Sullivan on that
occasion, that w. J. Gallagher, one Of the
defendants, approached him on the subject
about three weeks ago and that it was suisse
quently arranged between himself, Gallagher
and Mackin that he should give this false
evidence.

TIE COST or LaYTYG.

a comparison Of the cost Of living during
1884 with the previous years shows that in
the actual necessaries Of life prices have been
about as low as the oldest dealers can re
member. or late all such articles as gro
eeries and provisions, furniture, dry goods,
cooking utensils and other things that people
must have, are said to have touched bottom
prices. House rent seems to have remain ed
firmer than anything else, in spite Of the
building boom Of the last year, though some
property men look for a drop in the future.
Sugar at one time was a comparative lux
ury, but now is Il common article in every
fomily. There are persons in the city who
can remember when people were satisfied
with cheap Cuban sugar that no one now
would carry home. 1t cost the same that you
can buy u good granulated sugar for now.
There has been continual decline in the
price Of sugar for some time. Flour is au-
other article of daily consumption, and it
is cheaper than it has been for thirty years.
The quality OF -four has also improved, and
what was best some years ago is now sold as
lower grade. Meat is low and as cheap as
ever known, although the price of beef has
been kept up n little By combinations.
Coffee has been cheaper than now, but Is
lower than 1t has been since the war. Canned
goods and vegetables were never less thai
they can be bought at this time. In dry
goods II is the same story. the probable
revision Of the tariff laws 10 n revenue basis
will have a tendency to further cheaper such
articles os are ciasscd among the necessaries
Of life SO il the times are hard and wages
low there is no need Of starving.

Looking for cunningham's Mother.

LONDON, Feb. 17.-The Queenstown police
went out to Schulz, county Cork, where an
aged widow named Cunningham resides.
The officers declared the old lady was the
mother of James Cunningham, the alleged
dynamiter now under arrest in London, and
they thought some evidence against the son
might be found at his mothers abode, Sc
they went to the miserable little howell where
Mrs Cunningham lives. and took possession
OF the abode for the purpose of search. The
woman, besides being old, is i'll and decrepit,
and instead of offering any resistance to
The officers she was badly frightened
by the visit. A thorough ransack of the
howell resulted in the discovery of several
letters to Mrs Cunningham ''from her boy,
who was away seeking his fortune" One
OF these letters was written in London.
None of them state what occupation the
writer was following. and none were dated
slrce the London explosions. When the
ola lady was finally informed of the reasons
for the invasion Of her domicile she said the
case must be one OF mistaken identity
