WORSE THAR THE FIRST.
A Prominent English Statesman I'm a
Bad Box,

A Radical member of the House of Com
mons and of the late Cabinet is seriously
annoyed by prevalent scandal. This
statesman, who is a swidower, took to his
private residence few weeks ago the wife
of another well-known London gentleman.
They entered room, when to the horror of
the lady, she discovered another woman in
the apartment. This compromised the
ladies so much that she bitterly upbraided
the statesman and there was a terrible
scene. She finally left the house in des-
perate anger and confessed the whole cir
cumstance to her husband. The aggrieved
husband begged the aid of a noble earl and
a most popular commoner, both members
of the late Cabinet, to suppress the reports.
Both ex- members consented to try, and
they have been employed the past fort
night in efforts to make settlement. The
friends of the accused are willing. to pay
any sum to prevent exposure.
The Tories triumphant.
Both houses of Parliament are fully pos
sessed of the facts and the scandal is the
sole topic of conversation in all the West
end clubs. The Tories are gleeful and the
present Ministry have high hopes of running
by the exposure the famous citizen and di-
plomat who isinculpated. They are strain
ing every nerve to secure an exposure, so
as to destroy the chances of Radical success
at the general election. They are urging
the husband not to recede and are promis-
ing him legal aid and social protection.
Can 1t Be?
Much surprise has been caused by the
sudden abandonment of q Radical meeting
which had been arranged by Sir Charles
Dixie and at which he was to have been the
principal speaker. At the last moment Sir
Charles excused himself. He has been
utterly Frustrated in consequence of the
mental strain of the past few days.

CHILD BURNED.-Matilda Ford, living in
the southern part of the city, and who is in
service in the family of Mr.. VIM. S. Moore,
left her home Wednesday evening She
has two children-a boy six years old named
Clarence and smaller child. The older
bow was charged by his mother to look after
the younger. Shortly after the departure
of the mother Clarence either sat or fell on
a lighted kerosene lamp, on which no chin
new had been placed, and before he could
rise his clothes were ablaze. The boy be-
came terror-stricken and ran in the street
and had gotten about square from the
house when he was oVertaken by q colored
woman, who noticed his terrible plight. She
threw a shawl around the boy as quickly as
possible, not, however, until neari ~ one
third of bis body had been terribly burned.
He was taken home and his mother inform
ed of the sad occurrence, but, strange to say,
through apathy or superstition, paid no at
teption whatever to the child's sutferings,
and allowed it to remain twelve hours be-
fore she undertook to minister to its comfort
or necessities. DR.. Snowdeu who had been
summoned to render medical services per-
ceiyed the wonan'5 lack OF maternal SYM
