Failnra of AN Ex-Govsrnor.

Boston, June 6.-A special from Concord.
n. H., announces the failure of Hon. s. w.
Hale, whose term as governor of New
Hampshire expired Thursday. By great ex-
ertions Governor Hale succeeded in tiding
over his financial troubles until his term
was ended. He was heavily interested in
railway and manufacturing enterprises, and
his liabilities are said to be large.
The liabilities are said to be over $1,000
900. 1t is rumored that one year ago Mr..
Hale's statement of his financial standing, as
filed with Bradstreet's agency over his own
signature, showed him him to be worth
500, 900, with liabilitie; of 100000. The
assets in this city are very light, consi ting
only of Hale's residence and the land and
water privilege of the burned chair factory.
1t is rumored that Mr. Hale's investments
for two OF three years past have been very
unsuccessful, and that he has lost heavily in
railroad enterprises Although the failure
is said not to be a surprise to few business
men, it has created profound impression.
KEENE, N H, June s. Twenty attach
ments, amounting to S277, 900, have been
placed on the property of Ex-Governor Hale
and tho Keene Chair company. The princi-
pal creditors are the Wachusett National
bank of Fitchburg Mass, $4,000; C. A.
Parks, Boston, $50, 1000; Keene National
bank, $4,000; Monadnock National
bank OF East Jaffrey, $4,000; Winchenion
Savings bank, sl2 900; John H Butrick, of
Boston, $4,000; Minis Whitney & Co, OF
Keene, Sl2 600; Ashuelot National bank, OF
Keena, $4,000; Citizen.' National bank, o.
Keene, $40. 900; George F. Baker, of Boston
$4,000; Cheshire Provident Savings bank
of Keene, 5000; First National bank, o.

Prayer Meeting.
BROOKLYN, N. Y, June S.-Mr. Beecher
looked more ruddy and robust than usual
Friday evening as he aecended the platform
in the lecture room in Plymouth church to
conduct the regular Friday night meeting.
There was an unusual lack of spirit in the
discussion until Mr.. Raymond started to his
feet and rather exciteily charged Mr..
Beecher with having systematically and per-
sistently for long years taught his congrega-
ton that they ought to do only what they
felt like doing; if they did not want to come
to church or prayer nesting, why, stay
away; il a person felt like being Roman
Catholic or Universali,t, why, be which
ever he or she liked; that Mr.. Beecher had
never drilled his soldiers and had neglected
his flock through his fear to displease some
body by a strict discipline. at is not right"
said he "for you to teach the children that
they are to do only what pleases them. You

In speaking of the threatened refusal
to confirm the appointments made by the
president, the New York Sun says; "If
the republican senators have any wild
notion of refusing to confirm democratic
partisans, while they may cause the pres
ident little temporary annoyance, they
will only solidify and strengthen demo
cratic sentiment. To refuse to confirm a
democrat who has been in active party
work is to interfere arbitrarily and i'm
properly with the presidents freedom
of choice. and TO deny him the right t.
put members of his own party into Office
If the republicans want to fret the admin
istration they can effectually do it in thi'
way, but they will harm themselves by i
more than their antagonists"

THERE was an impecuuious lawyer in

THERE was an impecunious lawyer in
Nashville, but warm friend to General
Jackson. who followed the old hero to
Washington in 1929, and was given a
clerkship This clerk contracted debt
after debt with boarding house keepers,
and often forgot to pay his bills. At
last lady to whom he owed 500 went
to Gen. Jackson and spread the case be-
fore him. why don't you take his note?"
asked the president That will do no
good" she replied, ''for he will never pay
it." Eyes he will, rejoined the presi-
dent; go and get his note and bring it
here to me-" The clerk, on being in
formed by the lady that she wanted his
note, very readily gave it. On her return
to the presidential mansion with the note
the president took it and wrote across
the back in large letters, Andrew Jack
son. Whereupon he told her to present
it to such a broker and he would give her
the money for it. She went aud was sue
cessful. Some days thereafter she let the
clerk know that she had got the money
on his note. lie opened his eyes in as
constituent and exclaimed "HOw in the
HI did you get money on my note?"
"Oh, / had a good indorser," said she
"And who was such id fool as TO
indorse my note?" he inquired, The re-
spouse was General Jackson. The clerk
wrlthed IN agony, and suffice to say that
he promptly paid the note. 1t was
shrewdly suspected at the time that he
knew full well which side of his bread
was buttered.
