PERSONALS.

THIS indecent, unmanly and discreditable
Paragraph about dying man is from the
Philadelphia EUeninlg Neies;
Hon. ''Mule" Barnum, OF Connecticut, is
convalcscing instead of dying. There are
some men too tough to be finished by any
thing short of a mules kick.
MRS. HANCoCK's friends are expressing
surprise that neither Mrs Grant nor Mrs
Garfield has subscribed to the fund for Mrs.
Hancock. The Grant family even failed TO
send representative to the generals fu-
neral.
NINE. ALBASI, the prima donna, Gus
tomarily wears only two pieces of jewelry
diamond and emerald bracelet inscribed,
"From Victoria, r. l., 1885," and costly
gypsy ring given to her by her old and
valued friend, Lord Dudley.
JAMES WALLER, who died in Uniontown,
Ohio, last week, was miser and had ac-
cumulated about $4,000, which he had in
vested in United States bonds TO escape
taxation. In snInmer his principal food
was clover leaves and bran, and 10 winter
he spent most OF the time in bed and lived
on raw cornmeal.
ZELDA SEGUIN, who is with the "Mikado"
company that plays In St Paul next week,
received the other day the following charac-
teristic letter from her husband, Dave Wal
lace, who Is on his farm in Indiana. Dave
lett the troupe last Sunday, and this is his
first epistle: "Dear Zelda: Coed news
When arrived at the farm found we had
thirty-two pigs in one litter and heifer calf

Mr.. AND MRS. HENRY L. REED, OF Cham

Reed is in his 06h year, being in his Both
when married. His wife, who was Miss
Charlotte Stickney, is in her SD year. Mr..
Reed Is still In good bodily health, and his
mental powers seem to show no idiminution.
He reads the daily papers regularly and
takes much interest in national politics.

Discussion has been gone through, and Tor
time 1t was supposed that all the Read
inn interests would le satisfied with the
plsn that would finally beadopted. Appar-
entity ths Drexel-Morgan syndicate found
no sufIlcient profit for itself in deal that
would make sufficient concessions to the
junior security holders, and the final out
come is an agreement TO disagree and a
eight to see which party holds the longest
pole. The general mortgage bondholders
seem to be in comfortable position, since
the plan Of Mr.. Gowen is supposed to offer
them an election between cash in full for
their bonds, or new four per cent. bond
while the Drexel-Morgon people offer a
four per cent. bond and big block
Of perferred stock as bonus.
Manifestly the proffer of the pay
ment Of their bonds to all the
general mortgage bondholders who do no;
want to accept four per cent. bond, is the
justest proposition, and should prevail If the
money can be raised to effect it.
The scheme as published is so unwis,
and 50 oppressive to the junior interests ant
so much of grab on the part of the promo
ters that it will have no outside sympathy
That 1t should be presented in such shape
after 50 long time taken to prepare
a scheme of reorganization, speaks badly
for the intelligence, unselfishness and honol
OF the men who took it in hand.

THE varying cost OF telephones suggests
some interesting considerations The annual
charge for telephones in the United Kingdom
ranges from 500 to SIS, the common charges
being from SO to $50 per annum. In the
provincial towns of France the annual charge
varies from $50 to $40. In Germany the
annual charge is about $3.50, in Austria sS2.-
so, in Italy s3L50, in Sweden So. 50,, In In
diana the maximum charge has been fixed
by an act of the legislature at $50 per annum.
In Baltimore the annual charge for places of
business is $780, for dwellings $50. In cases
where two or more sets of instruments are
used on the same line the charge may he AS
low as 500. These figures become startling
when it is remembered that the actual cost
of set of instruments is s. AZ.

The Practice in the CITY Courts Deuouncs
by a Norristown Lawyer.

The Practice in the CITY Courts Denounced
by Norristown Lawyer.
An interesting correspondence has Just
passed between George y. Carson, of the
Norristown bar. and DR.. A. J. Ourt, secretary
of the commission on lunacy of the state
board OF charities. Mr. Carson first wrote to
+. Coppee Mitchell asking for information as
to the law under which judge OF the quarter
sessions Of Philadelphia could send man to
the Norristown asylum for life without an
inquisi.ion and finding in lupacy, and quoted
as an instance Augustus j. Craig VINO was
thus committed on December 30, lsso, and Is
still In the asylum. Secretary Ourt wrote a
long letter in reply, defending the custom in
the Philadelphia courts on the ground that
in many cases public inquiry would entail
an unnecessary public exposure OF the insane,
"a well as of the family and relatives of the
patient In reply to DR.. ourt Mr.. Carson
wrote
"Itis sin against suffering humanity and
a crime against taxpayers to run men into
an asylum as they lho from Philadelphia
without trial and without any protection to
the sane or insane persons affected by the
taxation or the treatment II the malady bS
of such a mild form of attiiction that the
family do not desire publicity the hearing

cording to the law and custom of the country.

Justice be done the accused, and every op
portunity is afforded for a full investigation
and a fair trial, and if the alleged lunatic

against the accusation that he is insane Il

Many vain attempts are made to repeat the re-
markabe success of Benson's Capcine Plaster
This splendid remedy Is known, sold and used
everywhere, and its prompt action and unri-
vailed curative powers have won for 1t hosts Of
liar sounding names, such as Capsicin,n" Cap.

1T is pity If it is true that there was a

their willingness to accompany the four or
five senators who make this trip to the

The Real shamrock.

The shamrock, according to Bentham'
"British Flora" was originally the wood
sorrel. Another writer says: "What Is a
shamrock OF course the ancient legend
ssvs--St Patrick illustrated to the
Irish king how three could be one by
picking from the turf under his feet a
three-leafed clover, but of what par
ticular variety tradition does not tell
us The true shamrock, those who
have investigated believe to have been
the Ordlis dcetoseitd, which grows In our
Northern states as we'll rs in Ireland, of
which the sour grass eaten by children,
Orelid strtctd, is good Representatives The
British Druids and bards had an extraordi-
nary veneration for the number three. The
mistletoe was sacred to the Druids, because
not only its berries but its leaves grow in
clusters of three united to one stalk. The
Christian Irish hold the seamroy sacred in
like manner. The seamroy is thus described
in the Irish-English dictionary Seamroy
clover trefoi, worn by the Irish in their hats
by way of cross on St Patrick's day.
Spenser, in his view of the state OF Ireland
1896, says the inhabitants we've so reduced
that If they found plot of watercress or
shamrocks there they fiocked as ii to a feast.
Another author says butter, new cheese,
curds and shamrocks are the principal food
between May day and harvest. An old book
| written in 1913 has this passage
| And for my clothing. in n mantle goe.
And feed on shamroots, as the Irish doe
| However, the general impression Is the
| real Simon Pure shamrock is a variety o
| clover, and grows nowhere else but in the
| land of saints Ireland produces but l:
| varieties of Trifolium out OF 13l varieties
| grown elsewhere. Ii the clover leaf is to bt
| accepted as the true shamrock, why, prefer
ence must be given to the Trfolium repens
