CHICAGO, liz, October 19.-William G..
Glenn, youth of twenty, was lodged in
the county Jail yesterday, to await hear
ing before the United States commissioner
on tae charge of conducting swindlipg
operations through the mails. Glenn lives
at Rochelle, ILL., where he has been en-
gagged in the Office with his brother, " no is
the postmaster at tEaa:. tt.a. place. Some time
since Jung Glenn is said to have begun
negotiations with Eastern dealers in foreign
postage stamps and eurios of that deserip-
ton, under half dozen fictitious names.
The Second National Bank of Rochelle Wa-
given for reference as to the solvencv of
each of these mythical persons. This bank
exists only in Glenn's fancy lette,-heads,
which also gave the names of it's imagin-
ary officers and the amount of its supposed
capital. Glenn received all the letters ad-
dressed to the bank, and gave the fictitious
persons excellent financial ratings These
several imaginary persons then ordered
large quantities of merchandise on time.
Glenn is said to have received from S1CO
to $500 worth of goods from A. F. Simms
d Co. Of Alexandria, Va; E. B. Sterling &
Co. of Trenton, N. j., and William Wet

ATTORNEY Y-GENERAL GARLAND
Not Yet Ready to Pass on the Vincent
Suspension.

WASHINGTON, October 19.--Attcrney.
General Garland said TO Post reporter
| tonight; in regard to the request of Chief
Justice Vincent of New Mexico that he
be allowed to come to Washington to Tn
dicate himself, that he had made no reply
to Mr.. Vincent's request or TO tie els,
patches he had received from otiler par:
ties requesting an investigation, and that
he would not consider the case until he
heard about the whole matter before him
The appointment of Dorsey as a jury com
| missioner, Mr.. Garland said, is only one ol
the many indications that have led him to
believe that Mr.. Vincent was not in the
right atmosphere to exercise the judicial
functions with entiIe impartiality. Mr.
Garland added that Mr.. Vincent's previous
assertions we're prejudicisl to him, and
that this fact in other cases has made
it impracticable for the administration
to follow absolutely that plank in the
Democratic platform which says that
Territorial Offices shall be filed by resi-.
dents OF the Territories. He said that
the administration knew that Mr.. Vim
cent had been engaged in land litigation
| and been imprisoned by the former Chiei
Justice of the Territory, but these matters
had been explained satisfactorily before
the appointment was made.

Mrs. @. F. COFFIN of Chicago yesterday
read paper before the international
Prison Reform Association, now in session
at Detroit, in which, with much array OF
lacts, she urged the establishment of seps-
rate prisons for women, wherein the reform
atory plans in force in Massachusetts, and
which have there proven 80 effic1cious
might be enforced. Ths mere sugg astion
of such thing carries with it lis own
weight Of argument and reason. A prop
erly managed prison should be a
reformatorY, and if women ara to
be reformed they must be governed
and controlled by competent, expert
enced and humane women, who have
faith that the erring ones of their sex
as well SIS men may, by kind direction and
kindly treatment, be made to turn from
the evil of their ways and live az sin in
Righteousness of life. Ali institutions for
srrlng " men and children should be con-
troiied by women, if only for one, and the
chletest OF reasons, that their immoral
habits are sure to be corrected, and they
are certain to be protected against further
talnt, rs Mrs. Coffin proves is not often
the case when they ars under the control
of men.

We are glad 10 note that the Columbus
Dispatch is urging the people of that
beautiful and prosperous town to re-
newed interest in the proposed railroad
TO Holly Springs, as continuation of the
Memphis line. In its issue of Sunday it
quotes an editorial from the APPEAL on
the proposed line from Artesis via Stark
vile 90 Grena5-, and asks: &c u Co.
lumbus afford 20 keep, quiet and let
competitive tC Yns take the initia-
tive in the matter, if t no
greater extent than in manifesto g the
interest they feel? We note from ur ex-
changes that the people of StsTkville,
Aberdeen aud Okolona are all watching
developments with eager eyes, ready to
briUg all their energies to bear in securing
this road as soon as there is a we'll
defined prospect of its being built.
We, here IN Columbus, are to all
intents Indifferent, and unless we
eviuce more interest in the matter it is
not only possible, but probable, that if the
road is built We may lose it simply by our
negligence" Our contemporary is right
If the people OF Columbus are supine Cr
Indifferent they cannot expect otherwise
than that their more enterprising neigh

Terribly Shaken

AS the system is by fever and ague, and
obstinate as that malady is, nevertheless
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will repair tie
damage that it does to the constitution
and eradicate every trace of it. Used as 6
means of prevention, it invariably proves
effectual. The most malignant forms Of
mslarial disease prevalent in the tropics
the dreaded calentura of the Guatamalan
coast, the Cbagres fever, and other types
of miasmatic maladies, yield to and are
prevented by it. Not only should it be
used on the first symptoms of chill, bu
all persons residing in localities where
mslarial infection exists in air and water
should take it as safeguard. II is an in
comparable remedy for disorders OF the
stomach and bowels, for rheumatism, in
activity of the bladder and kidneys, and
or debility and bilious ailments.

The soldiers Who served under Gen
Frank Cheatham will be glad to learn thai
he has been appointed by the Presiden,
postmaster at Nashville. A soldier of two
wars, he has always been popular be.
eause while brave, on occasion even
to rashness, he was always charac-
terized by feeling of close kinship with
his men that no rank could prevent him
from asserting. In the late war the men
oil lis division always thought and spoke
of him as Frank Cheatham. His rauk OF
major-general seldom occurred to them.
And this intimacy of heart-feeling lasted
50 long as the war lasted and has survived
all the contingencies of the time that has
intervened since he sheathed his sword
and returned to his home near Nashville
IN 1865. But not only his soldiers, indeed
all the people of the State, without dis
unction OF party, will agree that the gal
liant old hero is worthy the honor thus
conferred upon him, and will heartily in
doIse the action of President Cleveland.
