Paying for Wards Rascality /.
GENERAL GRANTS REQUEST THAT HIS
RELATIVES BE REIMBURSED FOR
THEIR LOSSES.

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-Potter Palmer
was asked here to-day what the COM
mittee would be satisfied with as the
total amount Of the Grant monument
fund and when the subscription slist
would probably be closed. He said he
thought there had. not been sufficient
canvassing done and that much larg-
er amount could be raised than had Or
iginalIy been counted upon.
"We left Mount McGregor last Mon
day." said Mr.. Palmer. land at that
time Mrs. Grant was feeling quite
cheerful, or as cheerful as could posi-
bly, be expected. She likes to haye a
few intimate friends about her now and
we would have been pleased to remain
longer on the mountain, but circum-
stances would notpermlt. On the 18th
of September Colonel Fred Grant and
his wife will arrive in Chicago and re.
main at our home for time. His lit
tie daughter, eleven years old, is already
here with our family. The widow will
start about the same time for Putnam
county, in New York, where she will
live for a time with the family of her
son, who has a farm in that county,"
Speaking Of the financial affairs Of
the Grant family, Mr.. Palmer said he
had not talked with any of the men,
bers on the subject, but he was ASS ured
they could not be in much worse
shape. The Generals book, though,
promised big return. The, family
would carry out General Grants re-
quest to devote the first proceeds to
paying relatives who lost money
through. W ards rascality.

Villas Inquirlng Into Things.

From the Phfla. Times.
WASHINGTON, August, 23.-When
Postmaster General Villas went Wset
last week he took occasion to talk civ
IL service reform to some of his en-
ployes Soon after leaving the city
on the Baltimore and Ohio Road he
d0nned o long linen duster and took o
seat in the mail car, where several
men were at work. He made himself
acquainted in a few pleasant words
and then proceeded to ask multitude
of questions about the details of the
work. He rode for many miles in
this way and before leaving the car
told the clerks that they might consid
er their tenure of Office secure 80 long
as they did their work and did not
meddle Extensively in politics. This
class of the government service, with
four or FIVE thousand clerks, does not
come under the civil service law, but
has civil service ofits own, founded
on q knowledge of the work and abili-.
ty to perform it, clerks being appoint
ed for probationary term of six
months. After his visit to the postal
car Mr.. Villas told a gentleman with
him that he considered the railway
mail service to be one of the best con-
Quoted departments under the govern
ment.

What great task Is assigned to wo-

not her province to make laws, to lead

terprises, but to her is given the power to
form those by whom the laws are made,
to teach the leaders Of mighty armies and

inculcate right doctrines, and breathe into

blessed privilege of aiding the sufferer in
1.-THE various stages of his existence. She

unless possessed of q strong and healthy
bodyr The preparation of DIR. S. b.
Hartman, and known as PERUNA, is just
the thing for persons suffering from a ma
jority of the complaints incident to this
climate. 1t Is invaluable to women, and
Mrs. +. w. Reynolds, Of New Lisbon,
Columbiana county, Ohio, is a noted ex-
ample of what the medicine can do. She
says she has suffered for years with con-
gestion of the lungs, catarrh in the head,
and was troubled with bad cough. She
had tried a number of physicians, but
they all failed to cure her. She was in
duced to try PERUNA, and Immediately
marked change took place. After using
one bottle her cough ceased and in a short
time her other ailments were cured. She
is now completely restored to health, and
gives all the credit to PERUNA. Mr.. ].
w. Reynolds, her husband, was a con-
firmed invalid. He could not sleep well,
neither could he work. He used PERUNA,
and as a result, was completely restored
to his former vigor and strength. He
says he now feels like a new man.
Mr.. Bernhard Seubs, st. Clair, st.
Clair county, Mich, says: " have thor
oughly tried your PERUNA in the various
diseases to which parents and large fam
ily Of children are ever liable, and find
itinevery case to be just the thing needed.
No family can honestly be without it."
sNancy Feterman, Cookport, Indiana

ever used."

specIal Dispatch TO the Phila. Time $.

Special Dispatch to the Phila. Times.
LANCASTER. August 20.-This is a
busy week IN the Criminal Court and
sessions are held night and day. There
are a number of Welsh Mountain cases
in the list and great many residents
OF that region, both white and colored,
are in town. For the past two days
the time of the court has been taken up
with the trial of George Houck, no
torious mountaineer. He was convict
ed of breaking into Shiffer's jewelry
store at Bowmansville and Hershey's
store at Buyerstown and Of receiving
stolen goods. Besides, hepleaded gull
ty to several charges Of larceny. He
was sentenced to ten years and nine
months in the Eastern Penitentiary.
Houck is young man and has always
been an intimate friend of AbeBuZzard.
1t is pretty certain that Abe was a
partner in the Shiffer burglary. Houck
fled from this county when it became
too hot for him and was captured in
Lebanon. He denies being guilty of
any of the crimes and says that the
stolen goods found in. his house were
brought there by John Lippencott, an
other partner of Buzzlrd, now in Jail.
1t is now believed that Honck was one
of the worst men on the mountain.
William Lansiale and William ii.
Watson, cclored. members of the gang,
were convicted of robbing smoke hous-
es; the former got one and the latter
two years.
The grand jury found true bill a
gainst Richard McNally ,one of the three
mouDtaineers charged with robbing
and shooting Edward Lenville.

w. ii. Hastings, who has for thirteen
years presided over the destinies of the
Punxsutawney Sptrtt and given it an

Democratic daily in the State, barring
those of Philadelphia and Pittsburg,
and we predict for Mr.. Hastings brill

While we are sorry to loose Brother
Hastings as citizen, we are glad to
see him do better. He has been a

pleasant competitor Of the Tribune and
we hardly expect to behold his like a.

THE Philadelphia Times has this
to say in defense of the mischievous
small boy, who would be pronounced
a criminal for a small offense by some
of the more severe and rash people
The Crimes of Small Boys.
The action OF Judge Patterson, Of
Lancaster, in dismissing indictments
against two boys, oily eight and ten
years of age respectively, is deserving
OF tho highest commendation. One
was charged with taking box of
licorice balls from store and the 9th.
er had in some way trespassed upon
some property belonging to the rail.
way at Bird-in-Hand. The Judge
ordered that nolle prosequi be issued
in each case against the protest of the
District Attorney.
There has been a marked and gen.
eral tendency of late years to prose-
cute children for offenses of the gravi-
ty of which they can have no adequate
idea. In some cases they may repre-
sent q precocity for crime, but even
then they do not ana cannot under
stand at their tender years the serious
ness of the offenses charged against
them. But in the majority of instan-
ces such incursions represent nothing
more serious than the mischief inher-
ent in every boy.
In any event prosecution and con-
viction are almost certain to make
criminals of the victims. AS a rule,
parents may be trusted to correct any
tendencies to malicious mischief if the
officers of the law will direct their at
tention to the matter, while the natu-
raj childish fear of constable or q
policeman may be depended upon, as
rule, to keep boys of such years in
restraint. If Judge Patterson's ex-
ample were more generally followed
it cannot be doubted that many young
persons would be kept out of crime
and made useful to themselves and
society.
